Chapter 142: Emilee’s Shock
Chapter 139 – Emilee’s Shock
Unfortunately, Owen’s good mood didn’t last long, because from the news coming from Mara Town, he learned that not only did Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce come, but his mom also came, and brought along his sister who didn’t know whether she was a half-sister or half-brother, which made him like swallowing a fly.
Although his heart is lonely, longing for friendship, love, affection, but Owen understands that this is just a little bit of his inner pretense, really facing this problem, he is overwhelmed, and even resisted.
Accepting his own mother and sister or taking revenge on them, Owen has never thought of doing so, because when he was abandoned he had already crossed over, so the love and hate of his predecessor had nothing to do with him at all.
After all, even if the deepest memories, will be the same as a few years ago to see a movie that moved people to tears, do not care how excited at the time, now recalled inside but no waves.
That is to say, from the bottom of his heart, he felt that the other party was a stranger, even if both parties had a blood relationship, it was the same.
The problem was that he couldn’t turn them away, not to mention the few remaining lines and values he had left, but his reputation alone wouldn’t allow him to do that.
If Owen had been quiet, no one would have cared what he did, but now that the town of Akita had become famous in the Northland, he was naturally famous as the lord of the town.
If the scandal of rejecting his mother and sister is spread at this time, his reputation will be in the street.
Theoretically, good or bad reputation does not have much impact on Owen, but after all, the bloodline is here, he can’t deny it, and after all, he is going to contact with the Empire in the future, so he can’t ignore his reputation at all.
For this reason, coupled with a little bit of goodwill, Owen finally decided to place the mother and daughter to the town of Green Shade, anyway, he is not short of two people’s food, clothing and supplies, as if to raise two people for a good reputation, but also to ensure that the two people will not be utilized to make what blood things out.
As for whether the other party is willing or not, this point is not important.
“Madam, please follow me, Lord Lord has already prepared a place for you and miss to stay.”
Maya brought twenty chest-armored cavalrymen with two knights out to greet the other party for twenty miles, picking them up in a manner befitting their status, leaving Cord on the side unable to say a word.
Right now, Maya is representing Hydra III, if he dares to interrupt, being chopped to death by a sword is not wrong at all, after all, his identity is only the steward of the chamber of commerce, what qualification is there to interrupt the nobleman’s conversation, so he can only look on as Maya picks up the biggest card in their hands, and there is nothing he can do about it.
For Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce’s intention, Maya know very well, of course, will not let their plans to carry out, so halfway to pick up the people, in this way, Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce is just a chamber of commerce, want to how to pinch how to pinch.
However, Maya’s mind quickly put on the carriage beside her, where is the focus, absolutely can not be wrong.
In the carriage, Hela did not have much reaction to the heavily armed knights outside, holding a book and telling a story to her young daughter, while Katie was very well behaved sitting on the sidelines and listening to a story that she did not know how many times she had heard it before, the mother and daughter seemed to be very harmonious.
Maya who followed the carriage forward saw this cozy scene, but in her heart she raised her guard.
Maya had never met the owner’s mother, but only knew that the other party abandoned the owner a few years ago, and rolled away all the wealth of the territory, but now after seeing the real person, she was skeptical of this statement.
Although personality and temperament could be disguised, even the best of disguisers would always reveal a hint of disharmony.
Maya was very sensitive in this regard, after all, dealing with that group of nobles who wore their masks on their faces until they died, one couldn’t live long without being sensitive. First of all Maya thought that Hela was not a simple person, at least not a mere daughter of the Chamber of Commerce.
Merchants cultivate their daughters, that is running to give away, to be gentle and considerate, to be a housekeeper and virtuous, as for talent, to manage the house, to count the accounts, to recognize words, to be able to teach the next generation the basics will be enough.
The problem was how the owner’s mother, Haira, didn’t look like a virtuous woman who was willing to teach her children, she looked too deliberate in taking care of her children, and the other thing was that she was too beautiful.
Maya still had quite a bit of confidence in her beauty, especially after resolving her body’s hidden dangers and regaining her youth, even at the age of forty she still possessed a face value that exceeded her peak.
However, when facing Hai-La, Maya was unable to gain the slightest advantage in terms of face value, whether it was the strange long silver hair, or silver pupils, all added a few more points of mysterious charm to the original beauty.
In some ways, beauty is a kind of wealth and a kind of sin, and with the volume of the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce is absolutely not able to protect Hai Lah who possesses such beauty, and even more so will not choose to marry her to a remote northland noble, because it is not in line with the maximization of benefits.
Because with Hela’s beauty, offering her to any noble in the empire would be rewarded with no small amount of money, which is a huge attraction for the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce.
Using this as a stepping stone, not to mention great wealth, at least there was no problem with being rich, the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce didn’t even need to suffer in the Northland border.
So the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce has a problem, she also has a problem.
But now the biggest problem is that Maya doesn’t know what problems Hai Rui has, and can’t use some means, which puts her in a dilemma, after all, this one is not a prisoner, but a nominal master mother.
As Maya kept calculating, Hela gave her a thoughtful look before her attention was focused on the stone path through the forest.
Hela hadn’t originally cared that she would go there, she knew very well that it was a timid and fragile child, and though she didn’t know who was behind his manipulation, his nature would never change, and at most, he would place himself in a remote place because he didn’t want to be seen.
At first Hela thought so, but as soon as she stepped onto the stone path through the forest, she felt some surprise, and upon seeing the town of Greenshade, she realized she had underestimated the boy, or the forces behind him.
Green Shade Town is very special, you can see adventurers bargaining with novice small monster kobolds here, you can also see witches holding crystal balls on street corners to play tricks, the vigilante is actually a mutant kobold with a one-horned head, even Haira thought it was outrageous, not to mention the still very young Katie, for the first time, her eyes revealed a curiosity and longing.
After entering the town Maya didn’t stay, but went all the way to the exquisite villa located in one corner of the town.
The environment here is quiet and elegant, surrounded by green trees, ensuring enough privacy, while the unique design of the villa with pool, as well as the magical items inside, makes life full of fun and convenience, and it can be said that from the construction to the design of each and every aspect reflects the intention.
Originally, this was the place where Owen came over for a small stay, but now it has become a place to accommodate Hera’s mother and daughter.
Just as Maya was about to introduce the situation here, Amelia, who was in charge of debugging and installing the magical items, came out from the villa, but when she saw Hela, she was shocked beyond words.
