Chapter 291: The Foundation of Starlight Trading Company

"Master, the house seems very quiet today?" Shen Huang said in a low voice.

Luo Qiu was sitting by the lake, fishing with a fishing rod in his hand. After listening to Shen Huang's words, he nodded and said, "Now there are only two of us left, of course it will feel lonely."

"They are so mean. They all ran out to play without taking me with them!" Luo Qiu said angrily.

"Yes... it's because of that... that thing that happened to the master some time ago, that's why Lady Mengli and the others put the master under house arrest." After spending a long time together, Shenhuang no longer spoke in a halting manner like he did at the beginning, and they can now communicate well.

Luo Qiu seemed to be choked. He curled his lips and said nothing more. He looked at the fishing rod in disappointment.

"Master?" Shen Huang's voice suddenly became very small.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Can I... move a little closer to you?" Shen Huang seemed to have mustered up unprecedented courage to say this. As soon as she finished speaking, her little face turned red like a ripe apple, all the way to her ears, and she looked extremely delicate and beautiful.

"Sure." Luo Qiu's attention was on the fishing rod at the moment. With his eyesight, he could clearly see a white fish moving towards the bait. He held the fishing rod tightly, ready to go.

Shen Huang walked carefully to a place less than one centimeter away from Luo Qiu, squatted down, held his cheeks with both hands, and watched Luo Qiu fishing intently.

"Here it comes!" At the moment the fish bit the hook, Luo Qiu regained his hand speed that he had maintained for nearly twenty years, and picked up the fishing rod.

"Oh! It's the rarest snow fish. The master is so awesome!" Shen Huang cheered.

Snow fish is a rare species with tender and delicious meat, but its quantity is extremely small and it is difficult to raise. Generally speaking, only true nobles can enjoy this premium delicacy during certain festivals, and it is not available at other times.

In the small lake of Luo Qiu's family, snow fish is just the most common species.

"Not bad, not bad. I'm lucky today." Luo Qiu put the snow fish into the fish basket with a smile, hung fresh bait on the ear hook, and started a new round.

"Huh? So close!" After throwing out the fishing rod, Luo Qiu discovered Shen Huang curled up beside him like a kitten. The fragrance from the girl made him imagine a lot.

Luo Qiu gently patted Shen Huang's head and said, "Do you feel bored at home?"

“No, no, no, no, no!” Shen Huang said many ‘no’s’. She tilted her head and said, “I like this place the most. I have the master, Master Mengli, Master Nellis, Shenlan and Shenhuang… As long as everyone is here, Shen Huang will never get bored even if she lives here for a hundred years!”

Luo Qiu could almost see the little stars in her eyes.

"Oh no, I seem to have forgotten to take care of the back garden. This won't do. Shenlan will scold me when he comes back."

After saying this, Shen Huang ran away in a hurry with a red face.

Luo Qiu smiled and shook his head, then turned his attention back to the fishing rod in front of him.

……

Magnus was in a very complicated mood and he didn't know what to do.

Originally, getting the support of the president should be a happy thing, but after catching up on a series of recent major events in the human kingdom, his smile gradually disappeared.

Ten-winged fallen angels, Nether Bone Dragon Knights, top-level demons, true vampires...

What the hell are these? How can these mythical characters appear next to ordinary people? What's more terrible is how can humans fight against such monsters? And the perfect puppet man Crimson belongs to that person's power.

According to the intelligence of Starlight Trading Company, that person and the people around him have been classified as "forces that cannot be provoked".

In other words, the president knew all this but still asked him to capture the perfect "puppet man", treating the vice president as a discarded pawn.

Thinking of this, cold sweat seeped out of Magnus' forehead. He wiped it with his white gloves, and a look of hesitation and struggle appeared on his face.

If it is true as written in the intelligence that that person can contend with Gaia, the Nether Bone Dragon Knight, then the entire Starlight Trading Company will not be able to accept his anger. After all, Gaia, the Nether Bone Dragon Knight, has a horrifying record of killing a ten-winged fallen angel with one shot. One can imagine how powerful that person is if he can fight against him.

Even so, the president still let Magnus take action. No matter what the final result is, he will be the first to suffer.

Even a perfect puppet cannot be a match for the ten-winged fallen angel.

Magnus' heart felt like it was being burned by fire. He was at a loss and had no idea what to do. If he had known that the perfect 'puppet man' had such a strong backer, he would never have provoke him.

The president's plan was better to proceed slowly, at least there would be no danger to his life. But now, he has come directly to the edge of the cliff.

"Vice President, the things from the headquarters have arrived." The secretary said respectfully outside the door.

For some reason, the vice president's mood has been extremely unstable since yesterday afternoon, and even his personal secretary doesn't dare to contact him casually.

Mags walked out of the office, glanced at the secretary, and asked, "When did the stuff come in?"

"I came to inform you five minutes ago when the stuff arrived."

"Really? It's really fast. Teleportation magic is really useful." Magnus said with a sneer.

The secretary didn't understand what Magnus meant by this, but from his tone he seemed unhappy, so he didn't respond and just lowered his head silently.

"I'll go there alone, just do what you need to do," Mags ordered.

But surprisingly, the secretary did not leave.

"Any thing else?"

"Um... Mr. Vice President, the dwarf still hasn't..." the secretary began hesitantly.

Yes, the people from Starlight Trading Company searched the entire imperial capital but could not find any trace of the dwarves. No one had even seen the dwarves. It was as if the two guys had disappeared out of thin air and could not be found no matter how hard they looked.

"Dwarves? Never mind, let them be." Mags didn't seem to care at all, causing the secretary to open his mouth in surprise.

He really didn't understand what was wrong with the vice president. He was furious yesterday, but after just one night he seemed to see through everything.

Magnus walked alone towards the room where the teleportation magic was installed. After a whole night of teleportation, and going through countless branches of the Starlight Trading Company, those things finally arrived at the capital of the Kendenia Empire.

"It's good to have the green light from the head office. In the past, it would take at least two or three days to send something over."

There was no emotion or joy in Maggs' voice.
