By the time Rhodes and Emily returned to Fiat City, it was already set, and there was already chaos. The Edward Chamber of Commerce even suspended all trading operations for the time being, arguing over whether they should save Rhodes and Emily, and before they could even agree on an outcome, the parties had already returned on their own......... Then there is no need to continue arguing.

After returning to the business association, Emily didn't even have time to wash off the dust on her body, she was directly pulled into the conference hall by the businessmen to discuss how to run and organize the business association next, after all, she is also the daughter of the president of the business association, and has the first inheritance, and in her absence, others dared to come out to fight for their own interests, but when she appeared, things immediately began to develop in another direction.

For Emily, it was a different beginning, but for Rod, it was the end. Now that the Earth Elemental Jīng Spirit has been awakened, Fiat has nothing to do anymore, no matter whether those people can defeat the Earth Elemental Jīng Spirit or not, the ore production in the Fiat region will be completely stopped, and the only thing he needs to do next is to rush back to the front line and lead his subordinates against the next invasion of the reformers. After the loss of Grosso and Fiat, presumably the reformers will jump over the wall and make up for their losses by encroaching on Parfield. If they don't take advantage of the fact that they are now strong and have the strength to do their last blow, they must know very well whether the reformist army, which is sleepy and has lost its logistical support, will be able to maintain its combat effectiveness when the food supply cannot keep up.

Once these enemies are completely destroyed, the reformers who have lost their military support will be nothing more than some bad old men, and they should not really think that they can surrender without a fight by sitting around the round table for a few days...............

Rhodes had no doubt about the violence of the reformers' counterattack, the last time the reformers in the South were bloodily suppressed by Lydia just "plotting a rebellion", this time they were already openly rebelling, and according to the archangel's usual methods, if their army was annihilated, then Rhodes could almost have imagined the sight of hundreds of corpses hanging in a row on the street lamps - what a spectacle it was that so many people were hanging from the sky lanterns together. Therefore, even if it is just for their own lives, the reformers have to fight hard to avoid such a miserable end for themselves. Of course, Rod didn't believe they didn't have a backhand. The southern seaports were well connected by trade networks that could not only be used to transport wealth, but also to escape. If the situation is not good, presumably these guys who were still standing in front of the people before shouting for reform, rebellion against the tyranny*, and overthrowing the ** will slip faster than rabbits, they can get on a boat and leave the Duchy of Moon directly from the southern harbor, and then follow the "Golden Sè Coast" route all the way to the Land of Light, and then continue to eat and drink spicy food there——— anyway, once they are out of the protection of the Council of Light, Lydia will naturally have no way to attack them again.

However, this is also a problem that Rhodes needs to consider after returning to the Parfield defense, at the moment, there is no task that he must complete in person, and the Seven Lovers will still occasionally report to him on Lijie's actions, and it can be seen that Lijie is working hard, but with little success. After all, her ability and mentality can't be compared to Marlene, but Rhodes never wanted Lijie to become a second Marlene, she is her, just like in the game, each player has their own unique concept of PVP skills, some are obscene, some are mighty, some are indomitable, and some love sneak attacks. Even if it is the same tactic, the player will deduce different variants. Rod doesn't want Lijie to become Marlene, but he doesn't want to continue to let her go freely, the next battle will become more and more severe, and he wants his subordinates to use their strength as much as possible, not only for him, but also for themselves. If Lijie didn't have such skills, then Rod wouldn't have forced it, but the problem is that the girl obviously has a very keen sense of observation and a nuanced way of thinking, but she is stuck because of her cowardly mentality. Although there was no need to do so in this ordinary battle, if Rhodes knew very well that if Li Jie did not overcome this weakness by herself, then it was very likely that this weakness would completely destroy her after rì.

It just so happens that according to the report of Seven Love, the other party should have almost started to act, this is a good opportunity to experience, let me see what Lijie can do.

Thinking of this, Rod stopped, and then he pushed open the door of his room, and soon, Rod saw a figure that surprised him.

"Master, you're fine!"

Celia, who had been waiting anxiously by the window, saw Rod's figure and immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice. But Rod didn't answer her question, but turned his head with some curiosity, and looked at the black-haired girl standing on the other side, with her arms folded and leaning against the wall, glaring at her angrily.

"You see, Celia, Sister Ben has said a long time ago that people like him can't die, and only good people in this world will die early......... Hmph, do you think he looks like one of those short-lived ghosts? It's boring, now you're satisfied, right? Hum! ”

With this, Selestina snorted heavily, and then she turned and walked towards the door. But the devil's sister had just reached the door, when suddenly Rhodes stretched out an arm and blocked Selestina's path. Seeing Rod's movements, a rare trace of panic flashed on Selestina's face, she quickly glanced at Celia beside her, and then returned to her calm expression, frowned slightly, raised her chin and looked at Rod proudly.

"What, is there anything else you can do? Master? ”

"Of course, Celestina."

Facing Celestina's gaze, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Rod's mouth, he had already noticed Celestina's slightly stiff body, and her strong but strange sounding tone, it was obvious that the memory of last night was still in the mind of this devil's sister, but yes, after tossing for a whole night, if there was not even this little commemoration left, then it could only mean that he was too useless as a man.

Thinking of this, Rod smiled, and then lowered his head proudly, and met Selestina's gaze without fear.

"I've been tossing around in that damn hapless mine for so long, and my clothes are dirty, Selestina, shouldn't you change my clothes for me as my maid?"

"Huh?!"

Hearing this, Celestina's eyes widened in surprise, and she instinctively raised her head and looked at Rod viciously.

"What are you kidding, why does Sister Ben want to .....................?"

empty

However, Celestina's words were not finished, because at this moment, Rod stretched out his right hand seemingly casually and made a gesture of rubbing, and after seeing this gesture, Celestina's voice immediately stopped abruptly, as if it was blocked in the throat by an invisible big hand. She narrowed her eyes, her blood-red eyes shone with flickering light, and the girl gritted her teeth so hard that she could even hear the sound of "clucking".

Seeing the actions of the two, Celia, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but look left and right curiously, of course she noticed that Selestina was at a disadvantage in front of Rod, but Celia couldn't figure out how Rod did it. Her sister has always been so proud, and she has never bowed her head in front of anyone, but now why would she react like this in front of her master? And......... I don't know what the road is for, Celia always feels that Celestina seems to be a little afraid of Rod at this moment?

"Celia."

And just as Celia was thinking in confusion, Rod's voice interrupted her musings, and the War Angel hurriedly turned around and looked at his master.

"Yes, master, what's the matter?"

"Could you please bring me some food and water? After a day of tossing and turning underground, I was dying of hunger. ”

"Ah, of course there is no problem."

Compared to her sister, Celia was much more obedient, and she didn't even suspect Rod's intentions, so she nodded and left the room. And it wasn't until the door closed again that Rod withdrew his gaze, he looked at Celestina in front of him with a playful expression, and sensing Rod's gaze, the devil's sister took a step back subconsciously, and then clasped her hands around her chest, biting her lower lip, and staring at him like a frightened kitten.

"What do you want to do?"

"What? I've made it very clear, Celestina, change of clothes——— go and get my change of clothes, the black sè. ”

“……………… Hum!! ”

Perhaps sensing that she had subconsciously behaved a little cowardly before, Celestina couldn't help but stomp her foot in anger before turning around and leaving. And looking at Selestina's figure, Rod couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, it's really funny, it's really interesting......... Although Selestina didn't say anything, from her actions, Rhodes had already got a thorough answer, and it seemed that his plan last night was still very successful.

For Rod, changing clothes is actually a very painful thing, this pain has a double meaning, one is the clothes themselves, since Rod plays a big and small sister in a business family, then it is impossible for him to wear those ordinary clothes, but those luxurious clothes are particularly troublesome to wear, it can be said that for Rod, every time he changes clothes is a torment, he not only needs to pack up those troublesome clothes, but even ensure that he does not show his stuffing——— even if he has a woman's face and "slender" 's figure doesn't mean that Rod can dress up as a woman wholeheartedly. Like boobs or something.........

On the other hand, it is naturally psychological, although Rhodes behaves like a gentle lady in the eyes of outsiders, but this does not mean that he can wear this dress willingly and comfortably, and in fact, when he wears this dress, Rod feels as if he is putting a hot iron block on himself with his own hands, which feels really awkward and awkward.

But now is not the time to care about these little things, for Rod, although the task has been completed, although he can't wait to leave. But Rhodes decided to stay for the time being, after all, things were not over so far, and he always had to see what the outcome would be.

And when Rod was changing clothes, Selestina remained silent in a rare way, she did not speak sarcastically as usual, but watched coldly from the sidelines. This is really rare for Celestina, if it were Pingrì, she would have opened her mouth to sarcastically mock Rhodes, but now, this big and small sister has a deep face, as if someone else owes her a large debt, and stares at Rhodes. I don't know what she was thinking, but at least this big and small sister is much more obedient than before on the surface......... Well, at least on the surface.

“？”

And at this time, suddenly Selestina's face changed slightly, her blood-red eyes swept to the side, and then returned to Rod's body, and at this time, Rod also changed his clothes again——— although frankly, he would have preferred to take a hot shower before this, but at least in the current situation, he no longer had this opportunity.

"Knock knock."

At the same time, there was a knock on the door, and Celia walked in with food, but this time, the War Angel's expression was a little serious.

"Master, we're in trouble."

"Oh? How so? ”

Rod stretched out his slender fingers, straightened his collar, pressed the bow tie into the hem, and then turned his head to look at Celia in front of him.

"That's right, just now I heard someone from outside coming to the door, saying that they are demanding that the Edward Business Association be responsible for what happened in the underground mines."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Rod's movements paused slightly.

"And now?"

"Just now, I saw that Sister Emily went with a few people to deal with it."

"That's interesting."

Hearing this, Rhodes narrowed his eyes, and soon, both Celia and Celestina saw the most familiar smile on his face——— not a fake smile used to disguise it in Pingrì, but a smile that made people shiver even more, bright and dangerous.

"Let's go check it out, Celia."

"Yes, master."

At the same time, in the arena outside the Edward Chamber of Commerce, Emily was standing there angrily, her hands clenched into fists, staring at the group of people opposite. It was none other than the members of the Howard Business Association, and at this moment they were facing each other, raising their hands in anger and roaring, and in front of them, there stood a rickety old man.

"Mr. Howard, you say that we, the Edward Business Association, are behind this mine move? You're a bloody squirt! We, the Edward Business Association, have never done anything like this, and we will never do such a thing, but you Howard Business Association, aren't you the culprit of this mine move? I've seen you hire mercenaries down the mines......... Could it be that your business association sent these mercenaries to mine? ”

"That's just your words, Miss Emily."

In the face of Emily's angry accusations, the rickety old man was not angry at all.

"Your accusations alone don't mean that we did it with the Howard Business Association, and besides, there are monsters running rampant all over the ground, and our mining efforts have been hindered........."

"It's the same for us, old immortal bastards, our Edward Business Association's mines have been completely sealed off due to the earthquake and can't continue mining work at all. Isn't this what you bastards are doing in the shadows? ”

At this moment, someone couldn't listen to it, and immediately jumped out to accuse the other party, and hearing that person's accusation, the members of the Howard Business Association on the opposite side also suddenly broke out.

"your stinky fart, how could we do such a dirty thing, you didn't do it! Do you really think we don't know what to do with the guy from the Land of Light, trying to take over the entire mine and completely destroy our Howard Business Association? ”

“……………………”

In the midst of the roar, Emily frowned and clenched her fists. She felt very irritated and finally returned to her home, and before she could gather her mood, she was again involved in a dispute within the business association. My father's subordinates, those businessmen who had long aspired to the status of the business association, tried to compete for profit through themselves, and it was clear that my father was still alive, but for them, my father's death was nothing. And now, I'm standing here again, arguing with the people of the Howard Business Association whose fault is it?

Thinking of this, Emily couldn't help but feel the urge to scream, tear off her mask, and vent her anger wantonly. She's had enough of this life, her father has died in that mining disaster, and now these culprits still have the face to blame themselves? They even came close to killing her, didn't they?!! Thinking of this, Emily could no longer hold back, she stepped forward with an arrow, and was about to say something more, when suddenly, a soft, gentle, beautiful voice like a silver bell sounded. The original noise was suddenly suppressed under this sound.

"What an interesting accusation, you say that the Edward Business Association and I worked together to awaken the monsters in the underground and try to seize the entire mine, do you have any evidence? Everybody? ”
