Chapter 298 The Next Concert
"Luo Qiu, we are back!"

Just as Luo Qiu was thinking, Meng Li's voice came from afar, and Luo Qiu walked over with a smile.

A few days ago, the goddess singer Nerris had to travel far away because of the schedule of her next concert. Mengli was worried about her safety, so he went out with her in person. After all, without moonlight, Nerris would not have much ability to resist if she encountered danger.

"Thank you for your hard work. How is it going? Is everything finalized?"

"Well, it's basically settled. Dad and grandma have already contacted the venue and made preparations." Nelise nodded.

"Oh? Congratulations. Where will the next concert be held?" Luo Qiu asked curiously.

"The most prosperous city in the Principality of Saint Gamma - Fancheng." Meng Li interrupted.

"Fancheng?" Luo Qiu narrowed his eyes.

Is it a coincidence, or is there something else going on?

However, Luo Qiu did not show any abnormality. Instead, he said with anticipation: "I have not been to Brahma City yet. This is the most prosperous city in the human kingdom. I am really looking forward to it."

"You won't be disappointed. I've been to Van City once. It's really wonderful there. It has a completely different style from Mizelaner. I believe that Sir Knight will like it too." Nellis smiled.

"When will the concert be held?"

"Because there are still many things that have not been agreed upon, and the venue's schedule is very full, the earliest we can do so will be three months later," said Nelise.

"Three months?" Luo Qiu nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.

The turmoil at Starlight Trading Company attracted the attention of many people in the imperial capital, including Emperor Clarence VI. What happened right under his nose could not be hidden from the ruler of the empire.

"You said frozen?" Clarence VI sat on the throne with a frown as he listened to the report from the visitor.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The ground is completely frozen. It is impossible to break it open. We cannot find out what is inside."

"I understand, please step back first."

"I'll take my leave." After a respectful bow, the reporter left the throne room.

"Angre, what do you think about this matter?" Clarence VI asked Angele, the 'Imperial Sword' on his left.

"Starlight Trading Company has bad intentions." Angele hesitated for a moment and continued, "In fact, we discovered some clues a long time ago, but we didn't investigate further due to concerns and insufficient evidence. We didn't expect Starlight Trading Company to be so hidden. No wonder we found nothing after all our investigations."

"Few people would have thought that Starlight Trading Company is so bold that it is actually doing some underground tricks." Clarence VI said coldly. It was obvious that the emperor was a little angry.

"Father, can I go and take a look?" Lauren, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

"You?" Clarence VI glanced at her, then shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to break up with Starlight Trading Company. The empire has already suffered heavy losses in the past period of time. If we continue to have conflicts with Starlight Trading Company at this time, it will have a great impact on the empire's financial operations."

Lauren remained silent. She also knew the seriousness of the matter. The amount of tax paid by Starlight Trading Company every year was one of the highest in the empire. If such a large piece of it was suddenly lost, it would definitely affect the operation of the entire empire.

"Are we just going to watch them do these little tricks?"

"They can't do it anymore, at least they don't have a chance in the Kendenia Empire." Angele moved his eyelids and said, "The Starlight Company has been hiding so deeply for so many years, it must be doing something shameful. As long as the president is not crazy, it is impossible for him to do underground things in our country. Otherwise, once we catch them, they will not be able to escape, after all, this is your majesty's territory."

"Forget it, since you all don't care, I won't bother to care." Lauren smacked her lips and left unhappily, not even saying hello. "This kid." Clarence VI sighed helplessly.

"Her Royal Highness is also worried about you." Angele comforted her, "Her Royal Highness is also worried about the safety of His Majesty."

"Of course I know." Clarence VI shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It would be great if she was a boy."

Clarence VI has expressed this sentiment more than once. He is old and no longer as energetic as he was when he was young. If it weren't for the court magician helping him recuperate on time every day, he would have collapsed long ago.

His two sons simply could not make him feel at ease to abdicate, and the child he was most satisfied with was a girl. You know, the Kendenia Empire has never had a female emperor, and the people of the empire found it difficult to accept.

Angele couldn't express any opinion on this issue. To the royal family, he was just an outsider and could only pretend not to hear it.

"Father is really stubborn."

After returning to the base of the Valkyrie, Lauren was still a little angry.

"What happened?" Aiqier came over with a piece of papaya, chewing it and mumbling, "Do you want to eat papaya? I just bought it."

"No, thank you."

"Oh, then I'll eat it myself." Aiqier glanced at a certain part of Lauren's body with resentment and chewed harder.

"Give me one." After sitting down for a long time, Lauren was a little upset after listening to Aiqier's clear voice, and reached out to Aiqier to ask for one.

"Give."

"Hmm? So sweet? Where did you buy it?" After taking a bite, Lauren was surprised to find that the papaya was incredibly sweet. With just one bite, the milky fragrance seemed to explode in her mouth, filling her entire mouth.

"I bought this from my juniors." Aiqier explained honestly, but she did not mention the price she paid.

"Mr. Luo Qiu?" Lauren was stunned at first, then slapped her head and said in surprise: "How could I forget him, I really..."

Then she finished the whole papaya in two bites. Her speed was jaw-dropping and Aiqier was stunned. After eating, Lauren quickly walked out the door.

"what's the situation?"

Aiqier hurriedly followed and she found that Lauren was a little different after coming out of the palace today.

"I have something I want to discuss with Mr. Luo Qiu and the others."

"Is it about what happened at Starlight Commercial Bank yesterday?" After swallowing the piece of papaya in her throat, Aiqier's voice became much clearer.

"No." Unexpectedly, Lauren denied it. "Starlight Trading Company is an internal problem of our Kendenia Empire. It has nothing to do with Mr. Luo Qiu. We cannot involve them. We have to solve this matter ourselves."

"Then why did you go to see them?" Aiqier was even more confused.

"There is something I can only ask of you, Mr. Luo Qiu."
