Ji Bonong had to admit that he had made a mistake this time.
As the person in charge of Rohr Resources, he naturally had close contact with countless different organizations and their upper echelons.
The Truth Society, the Mystic Tower, Hunters, Sorcerers, the Church, and the general public — he had dealt with all of them and had dealt with them appropriately. Before his plans changed, he rarely encountered a situation that made him feel that he had made a mistake.
However, this time, he had lost twice in a row against his daughter.
He had thought that he understood his family the best, but in the end, she was the one who surprised him the most. She had even predicted his actions and thoughts in advance.
Although this was partly due to his natural trust and carelessness towards Ji Zhixu, and the almost complete contrast between Ji Zhixu and his impression of her.
However, a mistake was a mistake, and it had nothing to do with the conditions.
Ji Bonong's feelings were somewhat complicated.
There was the "embarrassment" of being "schemed" by his daughter and failing repeatedly.
There was also the gratification that his daughter had grown into a real adult outside his field of vision.
There was also the guilt of neglecting his daughter for so many years. Remember the URL: m.9biquge.com.
Unknowingly, the girl in his impression who was still clumsily learning etiquette had become a hunter who could show a confident expression and trap her father.
The pair of iron-gray eyes that she had inherited from him were steady, calm, and patient. They were the eyes of a hunter.
"Is this your bargaining chip …?"
Ji Bonong looked at the book in Ji Zhixu's hand.
Blood and Beasts was the name of this book, and the content was the reason why Ji Zhixu had become stronger in a short period of time.
However, he knew that Ji Zhixu was not talking about this book, or rather, it was not just this book.
As Ji Zhixu's father, Ji Bonong was very clear about his daughter's "talent" as a hunter.
The first batch of Tainted Blood she had injected was a batch of goods in Ji Bonong's hands.
That's right, the Rohr Resources Development Company, in the eyes of ordinary people, was only a large-scale monopoly company that engaged in underground resource development in the lower city. However, in the world of Extraordinaires, it was a channel for the circulation of countless Extraordinaire items.
Therefore, it could be said that from the time Ji Zhi Xu became a Hunter until she gradually gained a foothold among the Hunters, Ji Bonong had been the one controlling her the entire time.
Only later, when Ji Zhixu had been among the hunters for a long time and gradually gained her own power, did Ji Bonong relax his protection of her.
However, the most basic protection was still present. For example, Ji Zhixu's red diamond-shaped earring was actually a high-purity Philosopher's Stone. It was imprinted with a resurrection brand left behind by a deity-ranked light Magus, and was known as the "Tears of Flame".
Even the Luo Er Resource Development Company only had one.
However, Ji Bonong gave it to Ji Zhixu.
Therefore, Ji Bonong had always treated his daughter's behavior as entertainment to relieve stress.
That was until Ji Zhixu got involved in the Magic Mirror Egg incident and wrote a bold plan in her diary.
According to Ji Bonong's understanding of his daughter, it was impossible for her to become so strong in such a short period of time. Moreover, she did not inject more tainted blood.
The plan was even more unbelievable. Ji Zhixu was not good at planning, but the plan was very organized, and the contents were a storm that had yet to brew.
Ji Bonong acutely realized that there was someone guiding Ji Zhixu behind the scenes.
What was important was not the book in her hands, but the source of the book.
Ji Zhixu placed the book on the table and propped up her chin. "Call your subordinate back."
Ji Bonong helplessly called his subordinate back. The book in the secret compartment was indeed just an imitation.
"It seems that he has changed you a lot."
Ji Bonong said meaningfully, "But this still can't convince me. For the Luo Er Resource Development Company, this kind of decision involves too much."
Ji Zhixu was not surprised that he knew about her relationship with the owner of the bookstore. She said, "If there are enough benefits, businessmen can do anything. I think you are no exception."
Ji Bonong said, "To ordinary businessmen, that is indeed the case, but we are different …"
"This kind of book is just an item that can be casually sold there."
Ji Zhixu said, "Do you think that if we can get the agreement and get the sales rights for these books, it will be good or bad for the company?"
"…"
Ji Bonong fell into deep thought. After a while, he said, "But, from the information given by the Miyie Tower, that Class I is still in a very unpredictable state."
Ji Zhixu said, "From the few times I have interacted with him, Mister Lin has his own principles. He has always followed the logic of a 'bookstore owner'. As long as we follow his wishes, he is actually very kind and amiable."
She looked at Ji Bonong. "But, I am not good at these things and have no right to speak to Mister Lin on behalf of the Luo Er Resource Development Company. If you think this matter is feasible, it is best to talk to him personally and then decide whether to throw my proposal into the trash or … continue to implement it."

In a dark room, the remaining high-ranking members of the White Wolf were sitting around a table and arguing fiercely.
At the top was the leader of the White Wolf, He Lisi.
"The situation is getting worse. We have suffered heavy casualties and less than a tenth of our people are left. There is no way to continue fighting the Miyie Tower!"
"They haven't even sent out their higher-ranking knights. We have no chance of winning …"
"Don't say such things. We are destined to not be able to stop now. We can only continue!"
"How do we continue? The Scarlet Sect has completely collapsed. Without enough energy to support it, the magic mirror egg can't continue to hatch. I don't know how we can continue! "
"Sir He Lisi, you see …"
"Silence!"
He Lisi raised his voice, stood up, and slammed the table. "All of you, be quiet. We still have a chance!"
Everyone quieted down and looked at He Lisi.
He Lisi's face was gloomy. He looked around and said word by word, "Remember, our goal is to hatch the magic mirror egg, not to defeat the Miyie Tower. As long as it hatches, we will win."
"But …"
"I don't want to hear any more words of uncertainty. The truth is that there will be a batch of dark silver stones shipped from the 78th street in three days. This time, we must get our hands on it. Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
Everyone stood up and bowed, temporarily unifying their words.
After everyone had left.
Heris sat on the chair and leaned back dejectedly. His expression was no longer filled with confidence, only exhaustion and bewilderment.
A batch of dark silver stones was not enough to hatch the magic mirror egg. It was like throwing a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood. He could only make them stop arguing like this.
In fact, the White Wolf was already at the end of the road.
"I can help you solve your problem."
"Who is it!" He Lisi stood up abruptly and looked at the source of the voice.
In the darkness, a pair of snake-like eyes stared coldly at him. The low voice was accompanied by bewitchment. "The magic mirror egg is a torch, and life is the most precious fuel …"
