Chapter 378
“Sigh, that’s enough. We’re all members of Dracodeus Temple anyway, and I hope that we’ll get the chance to meet our supreme leader someday too. If that happens, we wouldn’t have to live under duress all the time!” Mick sighed and said helplessly.
“Forget about it. Even if we do meet the supreme leader, he might not be as reliable as we would hope him to be. It’d be much better for us to rely on ourselves!” Candy shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly and then said to Lauren, “When shall we leave, Aunt Lauren?”
Lauren smiled and said, “Tomorrow seems good. If we leave in the morning, we should arrive. there by noon. It’ll give us enough time to prepare before we set about finding information on Severin later in the day!”
“Okay!” Candy nodded. “Since Aunt Lauren and I are going on official business, shouldn’t your give us more travel expenses or something?”
Mick nearly fainted. He said to his beloved daughter, “You’re just thinking about going shopping, aren’t you? Couldn’t you be a little thriftier these days? We’re not as well-off as we used to be since we have to pay the Blood-Drinker Gang every month now!”
Back at Brookbourn, Edward was fuming to high hell when he heard his assistant’s report. What?! Why would Diane do this? Is she going to terminate the cooperation with us in the building materials business? Haven’t we given them enough profit? Aren’t they making enough money with this? Why would they terminate this business cooperation?”
“I have no clue, sir, but they’ve already stopped cooperating with us!” The assistant said. helplessly.
“It has to be Severin! This is all his fault! Diane is a very tactful woman, and I bet she’s worried that her husband would be jealous if her family cooperates with our family!”
Edward came to that conclusion after some thought and clenched his fist. “Don’t you think you’re being too petty, Diane? Is that man worthy of your love? What do you see in him that you don’t see in me?”
“Sir, an old man came here and asked to meet you!” said a female employee who came in.
“An old man?” Edward frowned.
The female employee nodded. “Yes, sir. He dresses a little funny with his tunic, hat, and sunglasses!”
