"Tick tock, tick tock."
Moen had specially installed a pendulum clock in the new bookstore so that she could clearly feel the passage of time.
The crisp sound echoed in the bookstore, making the huge bookstore seem empty. There was an indescribable chill, but this was not the reason why there were no customers in the bookstore.
The branch in the central district had been open for more than ten days, but unfortunately, it was deserted.
This situation was different from the conjecture that Moen and Vincent had discussed together. They originally thought that there would be a large number of customers, and through the dissemination of the bookstore, they would select a group of high-level family members of Boss Lin.
Unfortunately, there were no customers at all.
Moen, who had the power of the moon, of course knew why.
But it did not matter. Their goal was not here. The real Nuo Jin higher-ups had already planted spies, and they were just waiting for everything to start.
"Ji Zhixu seems to have completely become Boss Lin's family," Moen whispered, his voice echoing in the quiet bookstore.
As a Dark Witch, she had the power of the [Eye of the Moon]. Almost nothing in Nuo Jin could escape her eyes, including Ji Zhixu's actions.
"One person in a group. I thought she was going to increase the number of Boss Lin's dependents by printing his books, but I didn't expect him to gather everyone in the form of an auction and choose suitable dependents. He's going to take control of those Extraordinaires while their minds are festering." Remember the website: m.9biquge.com.
A loud and familiar voice suddenly sounded in the bookstore, directly saying all the thoughts in Moen's mind. Moen did not need to turn around to know who it was.
Vincent had blond hair and a full beard, and he looked exactly like a benevolent priest.
"From a certain point of view, Ji Zhixu not only chose the most suitable and qualified family members for Boss Lin, but also obtained enough clones for herself. She is really smart."
"Of course." Moen's mouth curved slightly, and he said, "She is the person chosen by Boss Lin."
"Most of the nobles are already Ji Zhixu. No wonder you have no customers," Vincent said with a smile. He then walked to the opposite side of Moen and sat down. "In that case, Ji Zhixu and her father are completely Boss Lin's attendants."
"It's their honor," Mo En said matter-of-factly.
In Mo En's opinion, becoming Boss Lin's lackey was probably the luckiest thing that had ever happened to the Ji Family's father and daughter.
The truth was indeed so. If it weren't for Boss Lin, Ji Zhixu would have died long ago.
"Since Ji Zhixu has done a good job, let's make our move." Mo En ordered … As the owner of the branch, she represented Boss Lin's will from a certain point of view.
"The Central District …?" Vincent asked hesitantly.
"It's just the Tree Witch, Fraxinus. There's nothing to be afraid of." Moen looked back out of the window. There was a beautiful kingfisher on the windowsill.
"The Tree Witch … is it the Tree Witch?" Vincent mumbled to himself in surprise.
The kingfisher chirped twice and disappeared from the window sill.
Ji Zhixu, who was far away in the 67th street, put down her pen. The memory of the Kingfisher's clone was completely transferred to her brain.
"The Tree Witch …" Ji Zhixu took a deep breath and then turned back to Ji Bonong. "Then let's do it. This is Madam Mo En's order. Madam Mo En's will is Boss Lin's will."
Ji Bonong raised his eyebrows. He had truly obtained a superpower from Boss Lin's book, Void Touch Palm. He had the power to change the economy and commerce. The collapse of currency, economy, and commerce could happen with just a thought from Ji Bonong.

Si Bona Paraki was the youngest daughter of the Central District's noble Paraki family. She had been pampered since childhood and occasionally developed an arrogant temper. But Si Bona was very smart.
As long as she was careful, a little arrogance would let people know that she was not to be trifled with. Those who she looked down on would stay away from her.
Because of her arrogance, she didn't have many friends … but Ji Zhixu, the daughter of Rohr Resources, was one of them.
In her eyes, although Ji Zhixu was born in an ordinary family, she was a young girl of the new era who was knowledgeable and mysterious.
Unfortunately, since her parents asked her to learn dancing, she gradually separated from Ji Zhixu.
Si Bona's housekeeper often reminded her that Ji Zhixu of Rohr Resources was just a lowly business family. They were just tools. Ji Zhixu had a good relationship with Miss Si Bona just to maintain the status of her family.
But Si Bona didn't care. She only thought that Ji Zhixu was very smart, much better than the ordinary noble ladies who only cared about makeup.
Being friends with Ji Zhixu gave her a sense of superiority.
For a long time, no, until today, Ji Zhixu was like her idol.
Si Bona was not interested in dancing. Her real dream was to become a supernatural being, not a tool for a future marriage alliance.
According to her investigation, in the past few years, her good sister Ji Zhixu seemed to have become a powerful Extraordinary. Maybe if she secretly contacted her, she could get the chance to become an Extraordinary.
This made her admire Ji Zhixu even more. She even secretly engraved her name on the corner of the table to encourage herself.
After a few days of intensive training at the dance academy in the suburbs of the central district, Si Bona finally returned home.
"Dad! Mom! "
Si Bona carried her small leather suitcase and pushed open the door. Then, she stood there in a daze.
Her father, mother, brother, and elder sister were sitting motionlessly at the round dining table, but it wasn't dinner time yet.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back," Si Bona said softly, but no one answered her in the empty room.
She turned around and saw the driver parked the car like a machine. He sat in the car motionlessly and had no intention of coming out, just like her parents and siblings sitting at the dining table.
Si Bona frowned in confusion. She pulled out a chair at the dining table and sat on it carefully.
Her parents and siblings had the same smile on their faces. Their eyes were quietly in their sockets, and they didn't even blink.
"Dad, Mom, what's wrong?"
"We're fine, my dear Si Bona," her parents said in the same voice at the same time.
Si Bona was speechless.
A faint sense of uneasiness filled Si Bona. She looked around randomly. The maids, the driver, and even the black cat and the hound seemed to have the same expression. They blinked at the same time, and their eyes fell on Si Bona at the same time.
The corners of their mouths were curled up … Even the black cat was curled up.
Si Bona took a deep breath and almost fell off the chair. She stood up nervously and quickly walked to the door.
— — It's an Extraordinary! Someone used supernatural power to control my parents! Si Bona had never received any training as an Extraordinary since she was young. She was completely an ordinary person. She quickly rushed to the door, wanting to leave this place.
"Where are you going, my dear Si Bona?" A voice suddenly sounded in the entire mansion, and this voice came from everyone in the mansion. Dozens of mouths were speaking in the same tone.
"Ah!!" Si Bona screamed and tripped on the carpet.
"Where are you going, my dear Si Bona?" Her mother walked towards her. The smile on her mother's face was as if it had been measured with a ruler. Her mother's face suddenly split open like a flower. Several pieces of flesh bloomed, and it became a cruel flower of flesh and blood.
Before Si Bona could scream, spores gradually grew in the middle of the flower.
"Tell me, where are you going, my dear sister?" Her sister stood behind her mother and said with the same expression.
"I, I, I, I, I, I'm going to Ji Zhixu sister!" Si Bona sat on the ground, her legs weak. The only Extraordinary she knew was in her mind.
Out of Si Bona's expectation, after her mother's entire head turned into a sunflower, the flesh began to gradually close up after hearing Ji Zhixu's name, and her face returned to its original stiff state.
In the blink of an eye, her face began to loosen again, like ashes falling off a cement wall. The first sentence she said was —
"What's the matter, Si Bona?" Ji Zhixu's voice came from her mother's mouth with a smile.
"Ji … Ji … Ah!!!"
Si Bona's eyes widened in surprise, and her mouth dropped open. She screamed and got up from the ground, rushing out of the house.
Ji Zhixu, who was wearing the shell of Si Bona's mother, looked at the stumbling girl and tilted her head in confusion.
— —
Si Bona rushed out of the house. As a noble lady, she rarely stepped on the ground. She stumbled and fell several times. Her knees and elbows were bleeding, but fear made her unable to feel any pain.
She went to the Central Police Station, where her father worked. The Paraki family was the uncrowned king of the Central Police Station.
"Help! Help!!" She shouted as she ran.
She only breathed a sigh of relief when she was far away from home. Then, she began to cry helplessly.
"Dad, Mom!!" She was at a loss on the street, but the scene on the street was even more unbelievable.
The workers who were usually obedient were smashing the factories and shops as if they were possessed. They held the flag high like crazy, and there were dozens of explosions in the distance.
The Central District, which was originally orderly, was now chaotic like hell.
Si Bona hugged her head. These things seemed to have shattered her worldview in an instant.
"What's going on …" She muttered to herself as she watched the leader of the workers forcefully drag out a noble lady and throw her to the ground.
Si Bona's eyes widened as she looked at the somewhat familiar noble lady. Si Bona wanted to stop her, but she saw the leader of the workers raise his head. A delicate smile appeared on his rough face. That smile was exactly the same as the one she saw at home.
Ji Zhixu …
"Ah ah ah ah!!!" She screamed and ran away.
Si Bona ran like crazy, but that smile seemed to be everywhere, on everyone's face.
"Dong —" Si Bona, who was like a headless fly, bumped into a burly man.
She raised her head and saw the face of a benevolent priest. The priest's smile was gentle, completely different from Ji Zhixu's. He was holding a book called "Holy Scripture of the Sun" in his hand.
