Chapter 366 "Give Up" Mora who inherited the family property
"Father, what are you talking about?"

Maura couldn't believe it, but the tolerance he had developed over the past six months prevented him from showing the surprise in his heart.

Seeing that Mora could still control her emotions well, Wim nodded with some satisfaction and continued to say in a calm tone:

"I'm going to let you inherit everything I own, which naturally includes the shares and chairmanship of the Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce, as well as the title of the Karl family."

Maura was silent for a moment. To be honest, he was quite surprised.

After all, his father had never shown any thoughts in this regard since he was a child. He had always trained his eldest brother Jon Carl as the heir of the family, and he had always had a laissez-faire attitude towards him.

Why did his thoughts suddenly turn 180 degrees now?
"I don't understand, father, why do you do this?"

Maura said truthfully, expressing the doubts in his heart.

It is impossible not to be tempted. After all, the Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce is also one of the top five chambers of commerce in the Kingdom of Fes. Although it is not far behind the Fes Chamber of Commerce and the Canguang United Chamber of Commerce, it is not far behind the Baidu Chamber of Commerce, which has only been established for half a year. It is already a behemoth for the pigeon dealers' association.

Whether it is the distribution of industries and chambers of commerce in various cities and regions of the Kingdom of Fes, or the accumulated wealth and mature and reliable manpower, they are all incomparable to the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce.

"But it turns out that Jon may be qualified to be a steward of the Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce, but he is still far from being able to become the president of the Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce and balance the various forces within the Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce."

Although Maura complained a little and blamed his father for not giving him a chance to compete with Jon, he still regarded his father who had controlled the Golden Vine Flower Merchant Guild for more than 20 years as his goal.

"Although he seems to have done well over the years and made a lot of profits for the Chamber of Commerce, in the final analysis, he still relies on the Chamber of Commerce and the power of the family to protect him."

"The most important thing is that Jon's vision is too short-sighted. He always only looks at the gold coins in front of him and turns a blind eye to the dangers in the future."

Maura asked in a low voice. To be honest, it all happened suddenly and caught him off guard.

"It's not the family that will protect him from the wind and rain in the future, it's him who will lead the Karl family to move forward. He still has a lot to do."

"But I didn't expect that Marquis Kane would leave the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce to you, and I didn't expect that you would perform so well!"

"Then why did you choose me to be the heir of the family?"

As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Li Si has been fishing all year round. As the second-in-command of the Chamber of Commerce, Mora has actually replaced Li Si and controlled most of the power of the Chamber of Commerce.

Seeing Wim's serious expression, Mora couldn't help but sit up, looking much more serious.

Maura quickly calmed down the turmoil in her heart and looked at her father Wim quietly.

"The worst-case scenario is for Jon to give up his position as the president of the Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce. As long as the family tightly holds the shares of the Chamber of Commerce, there will be no problem in maintaining it."

After hearing this, Maura's face changed for the first time, and she smiled coquettishly.

Because of this, Li Si once poached the chief executive of Feisi Caravan after leaving Bright Light City.

"In the final analysis, although Jon is not very capable, he works hard enough."

"The future Duke Kane will definitely have his own territory. By then, the White Pigeon Merchant Guild will most likely follow him and shift its focus to the territory. You will definitely leave Bright Light City by then."

"It would be fine if he was an ordinary person, but he is the heir of the Karl family!"

He did give up on himself before, especially after he chose to enter the Fes Royal Magic Academy. Although he met two good friends, Li Si and Bernie, he was different from the hard-working two people. He always lingered in the skirts of girls. between.

"If it were what you were before, I wouldn't consider leaving the Karl family in your hands."

Maura grinned unconsciously and said a little embarrassedly.

"You should also know very well that I have always been planning to let your eldest brother Jon inherit the Karl family."

"Morrah, my son."

"I was thinking of finding a time to have a good talk with you and leave some of the affairs of the Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce to you, but I heard that Marquis Kane is back."

"Although you are very smart, you were too undisciplined before. I can't see that you had the ability to control the Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce at that time."

Wim also sighed lightly, stood up from behind the table, sat on the sofa opposite Maura, and put his hands into fists on his chest.

Wim didn't pay attention to his youngest son's questions, nodded and said:

"That Marquis Kane is indeed very powerful. He is about to be awarded the title of Duke at a young age. He is worthy of being a disciple of Lord [Flame of Judgment]."

"I have been observing your actions in the Baige Chamber of Commerce for the past six months. Although you are still a little green in some places, you have controlled the development of the Baige Chamber of Commerce very well."

"Despite the influence of Marquis Kane, you did a good job."

"That's true. Although I have already had this idea, I originally planned to think about it for a while."

Wim didn't pay attention to Mora's embarrassment and continued:

If he hadn't been pulled out by his good brother Li Si later, he might still be living a life of drunkenness and dreams now!

Mora really thought about trying to inherit the Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce, but after investing all his enthusiasm in the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce in the past six months, especially after hearing the news from his father that he should inherit the Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce, he did not Not as exciting as he once imagined.

It really made him feel good that his youngest son, who once gave up on himself, could become so outstanding.

"The most important thing is that he is too confident. He always thinks he can do well and never listens to other people's suggestions."

Wim leaned on the sofa and said with a faint smile.

"So, father, do you think I am more suitable to inherit the Golden Vine Flower Merchant Guild than my eldest brother?"

Wim shook his head, with a regretful expression on his face, and continued:

Maura raised her head and looked at the serious middle-aged man in front of her. This was the first time he heard such high praise from his father.

She had hoped to get her father's approval, but Maura didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

However, as Li Si's status and power have increased significantly, especially after he is about to become the Duke with the largest territory in the Kingdom of Fes, the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce will undoubtedly usher in a new wave of rapid development.

Originally, Maura was still listening to her father's words happily, but she suddenly froze here.

Mora's socializing in the upper circles of Bright City for the past six months was not a waste of time. He soon realized the hidden meaning in Wim's words.

"Father, do you mean to let me leave the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce and inherit the Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce?"

"Is such that."

Wim also nodded briefly. If he hadn't had this idea, he would not have had such a direct showdown with his younger son, but chose to continue to slowly test Mora.

But all this was broken by Li Si's sudden rise, which also gave Wim other ideas.

"This"

Mora did not expect that he would suddenly face this situation. To be honest, he naturally wanted to inherit the family business and become the president of the Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce.

This is what he once said when joking with Li Si.

Moreover, Maura also knew that if he really chose to leave the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce, Li Si and Bernie would definitely choose to support his decision.

but.
Without hesitating for long, Maura said seriously to his father sitting opposite him:
"I'm sorry, father, to disappoint you."

"I don't want to leave the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce!"

Maura knew very well that without the help of his good brother Li Si to form the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce, he would not have cheered up.

What's more, Li Si came to see him specifically a few days ago, wanting to hand over the renovation and reconstruction work of his duchy to the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce and him.

This heavy trust made Maura have no other thoughts at all.

The White Pigeon Merchant Guild was also the place where Mora devoted all her efforts. Even if the temptation of the Golden Vine Flower Merchant Guild, which was in charge of the top five companies in the Kingdom of Fes, was great, Mora did not take it too seriously.

Perhaps for him, the idea of ​​inheriting the Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce was more about gaining his father's approval.

After the frank conversation between father and son, Maura suddenly found that inheriting the Karl family and the Golden Vine Flower Dealer Association was not too tempting for him.

When Wim saw his youngest son rejecting his idea, he looked a little surprised, but he soon became calm.

"I'm not surprised that you made such a choice. Following Lis Kane will indeed have a good future."

In Wim's view, Mora assists Li Si in managing the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce. Although in the short term, he will definitely not be as good as the president of the Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce, this may not be the case in the long run.

If Li Si really breaks through and becomes a new legendary powerhouse in the Kingdom of Fes in the future, it will be like heaven and earth.

Maura frowned when she heard this. Her father's words seemed like he chose to follow Li Si for a better future, but he couldn't bear to break the harmonious atmosphere between father and son at the moment, so he refrained from refuting.

I did that because of my brother’s trust in me!
Wim looked at Mora's somewhat unconvinced expression, with a smile on his lips.

Nodding, Wim continued to say to his youngest son:
"Since you have made your choice, I won't say anything more."

"When the time comes, follow Li Si to his territory. Don't forget that you still have the Karl Family and the Golden Vine Flower Merchant Guild in Bright Light City."

"Of course, I."

Maura waved her hands indifferently and suddenly froze in the middle of her words.

Then he asked with some uncertainty:

"Father, do you mean that the Karl family and the Golden Vine Flower Merchant Guild or me will inherit?"

Originally, in Maura's mind, since he chose to follow Li Si and rejected his father's proposal, it was tantamount to choosing to separate from the Karl family and establish a new branch.

The Karl family and the Golden Vine Flower Merchant Guild are naturally inherited by the eldest brother Jon, and have nothing to do with him.

But he didn't expect to listen to his father's wishes. Even if he and Li Si left Bright Light City, he would still inherit the Karl family and the Golden Vine Flower Merchant Guild.

This surprised Maura.

"The family's legacy is naturally inherited by the best children. Everything is for the future of the family."

In one simple sentence, Wim explained why he made such a decision.

As the Karl family that owns part of the Golden Vine Flower Merchant Guild and other properties, it is considered a big force even in the royal capital of Bright Light City, but it is nothing compared to the rising star of the kingdom, Marquis Lis Kane.

Li Si has been promoted to gold before he was twenty years old, which has fully proved his potential.

What's more, his teacher is the pinnacle legend [Flame of Judgment], and his relationship with King Morton of the Kingdom of Fes seems to be quite close.

In fact, many nobles in Bright Light City want to invest in Li Si, but there have never been good opportunities.

Mora spread the news about Li Si's new territory to the outside world, and it was because of Li Si's own intention to show goodwill and cooperation to the outside world.

In his Karl family, there was Maura, a good brother of Li Si, who was also in charge of the most important chamber of commerce for him. How could he let Maura give up this rare opportunity.

Increase investment!
Mora reacted and said to Wim angrily:

"Father, did you decide a long time ago that you would let me inherit the family and follow Li Si instead of letting me come back?"

By this time, Wim no longer controlled his expression and laughed:
"Haha, you are not too slow to react now!"

"Really."

Mora felt helpless. He didn't expect that his always serious father would play such a joke on him.

However, Maura was relatively happy when her father made such a decision.

Fulfilling his childhood wish without giving up his hard work was the best outcome for him. Thinking of this, Maura rubbed her hands and smiled flatteringly:
"Father, since you have decided to let me inherit the Golden Vine Flower Merchant Guild, can I do it?"

Wim glanced at Maura. He, who had been paying attention to his younger son, naturally knew what Maura was busy with recently.

Now that they have chosen to invest in Li Si, they can't feel bad about the chips they paid in advance.

"I'm not old yet. Don't think about the position of president of the Golden Vine Flower Merchant Association now."

"But I can give you my seal for the time being. Just do whatever you want to do!"

"Thank you for your support, Dad!"

Maura doesn't care about the position of the president of the Golden Vine Flower Merchant Association, and he is not happy to let him be the president now!

However, after receiving the full help of the Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce, the preparation work for the new territory will be much easier.

At this moment, a knock on the door came from outside the study.

"Come in!"

Wim's voice returned to its previous calmness.

In the meantime, the old housekeeper gently opened the door and walked in.

"Master, Master Mora!"

"what's up?"

"Sir Lis Kane is downstairs now and wants to see Master Mora."

The old housekeeper said concisely and concisely.

"Father!"

"Go!"

Maura stood up and followed the old housekeeper towards the reception room on the first floor of the mansion.

Wim didn't move, just sat on the sofa and smiled relaxedly.

Being able to have such a close relationship with the future Duke of Kane, many people in Bright Light City must be envious of the Karl family, right?
I hope Lis Kane can continue to rise as before, and the Karl family can also take advantage of this opportunity to achieve new breakthroughs.

Li Si was sitting in the reception room of the Karl family mansion, enjoying the exquisite snacks and the meticulous care of the maid.

After learning that Mora had returned home, he came here alone.

This was actually somewhat inconsistent with his status as a great noble, but Li Si didn't care too much.

After all, the so-called etiquette and decency of many nobles are to gain respect from others and maintain their status as nobles, but this does not mean much to Li Si.

A title is the most important thing for many noble men, but for Li Si, a duke is just the icing on the cake.

Li Si, who initially had the ability to control the future, already had the confidence and capital to ignore these rules.

"Why did you come to my house to find me? It's so rare!"

Mora pushed the door open excitedly and walked in, then sat down on the sofa opposite Li Si carelessly.

As if she was very thirsty, Maura did not touch the coffee in front of her, but picked up the juice placed aside and took a big sip.

Li Si looked at the excited Moura in front of him with interest, and did not even rush to ask about Count Petrie.

"What good happened to you, kid?"

Facing Li Si's inquiry, Maura waved her hands indifferently:
"It's not a big deal, it's just that my father finally recognized my ability and made me the heir to the family!"

"Oh, that's indeed a good thing!"

Li Si had a thought in his mind and somewhat guessed what the president of the Golden Vine Flower Merchant Association was thinking.

But Li Si didn't care, since the benefits belonged to his brothers anyway.

"Hmph, he finally discovered my talent!"

Maura did not hide her excitement in front of her good brothers and said smugly.

"Come on, restrain yourself, look at you getting carried away."

Li Si said with a smile and a mocking tone.

Maura was proud in front of Li Si for a while, holding a piece of cake covered with jam and eating it while saying:
"What do you want me to do today?"

"Count Petrie, do you know this person?"

Li Si was not polite and said directly to Maura.

"Count Petrie"

Maura thought for a while, biting into the cake, took out a pile of well-maintained parchment paper from the storage ring, picked out a piece from the middle and handed it to Li Si.

Li Si took the piece of parchment and looked at it. A bunch of information about Count Petrie was densely written on it, including a series of information about Count Petrie's address in Bright Light City, subordinate industries, etc.

There is even a small portrait of a high-paying middle-aged man on the back.

Maura said vaguely while eating the jam cake:

"I have met Count Petrie a few times, but I don't have much of an impression."

"I met him once at a banquet a few days ago. He even said that he admired you very much and wanted to meet you!"

"Oh?"

Li Si looked at the information in his hand and smiled slightly.

Noticing Li Si's strange expression, Maura was stunned for a moment and asked curiously:
"Why did you suddenly ask about this person?"

"Oh, I suspect this person is related to the Church of All Beasts. He is very likely a believer of the Church of All Beasts."

Li Si said calmly, as if this was not a big deal.

"Um?!"

Mora shivered. He knew from Li Si the mastermind behind the "Blood Sacrifice Riot" that happened in the lower city last year. He was a little scared when he thought that he might have had close contact with an evil god believer.

After all, in Bright City, where the Church of Dawn is located, nothing like this has happened for a long time.

Many people have heard about the madness and terror of evil god believers since childhood.

"Do you want me to investigate?"

Maura asked, but Li Si waved his hand.

"No need, I'll ask him myself!"

After confirming Earl Petrie's residence and basic situation, Li Si directly used space teleportation to rush over.

Looking at Li Si who suddenly disappeared in front of her eyes, Mora clicked her tongue and once again felt the power of Li Si.

Now to Li Si, believers of the evil god are nothing.

Feeling the widening gap between the two, Maura also calmed down.

I have to keep working hard, I can’t be too far behind!
-
Count Petrie's residence,
The nobleman's mansion is not in the aristocratic area of ​​Fez Street, but on a quiet street further west.

This is a regular villa with a courtyard. The gray-white marble walls form the main body of the mansion. There are also a few gray traces left by rain on the walls. It looks a bit more like the vicissitudes of time.

Li Si disappeared and slowly walked into the mansion.

In the garden and hall, the servants did not notice that Li Si passed by them and was still busy with his work.

Earl Petrie has no family members or heirs, which is quite rare among the nobles of Bright Light City.

Li Si has already locked his target. The person in the bedroom on the second floor who hides his strength should be Count Petrie.

It was obvious that there was something wrong with Count Petrie.

The information from Mora did not mention that the earl was an extraordinary professional, and his strength had reached the silver level.

Moreover, the count's method of hiding his aura was very clever. If Li Si had not known in advance that there was something wrong with this person and used his mental power to carefully detect the aura on his body, he would not have easily noticed that something was wrong.

Silver level?

Li Si looked up and frowned.

Then using [Human Charm] may not be able to control Count Petrie.

After waiting for a moment, Li Si, who was ready, stopped delaying and a short-distance flash appeared in the bedroom on the second floor.

The bedroom in front of her has no special decoration. Simple and plain light yellow sheets set off the dark-toned walls and floors.

A middle-aged man with the same appearance as in the portrait Li Si obtained stood in front of the window, seeming to be observing the gardener's pedicure work on the flower wall in the courtyard below.

Li Si appeared behind him. Perhaps it was because he was too close, or because of the different aura on Li Si's body. Count Petrie seemed to notice something and turned around.

"you"

Before Count Petrie could speak, the special light emanating from Lis's hand attracted all his attention, and his whole body froze in place.

The seven-ring magic control spell [forced mind control]!
This is an extremely special spell with extremely strong mind control capabilities. However, its disadvantages are extremely high casting requirements and permanent mental damage to the controlled person.

But for Li Si, a believer in the Church of All Beasts doesn't have to worry so much.

After controlling the middle-aged man in front of him, Li Si asked in a deep voice:
"your name?"

"Cobb Petrie."

"Your true identity?"

"I'm."

Before Count Petrie could answer, his body suddenly ignited with black-red flames from the inside out. The terrifying temperature swept through every part of his body. The extreme pain of burning his body also made Peter get rid of Li Si. of mind control.

"hehe."

Looking at Lis standing in front of him, Earl Petrie seemed to understand something. His eyes were full of resentment, and he tried hard to say something in his throat, but soon his entire vocal cords were burned by the flames, and soon his whole body was breathless.

"really!"

Li Si was not surprised by the tragedy in front of him and shook his head.

"However, it is not without gain."

A weak stream of dark black air appeared in Li Si's hand, which shone with white aura, trembling and twisting.
