Tantric family to divine dynasty

Chapter 302: Working Hard
Christine's private estate.

In the study, Christine sat in a wheelchair, the desk in front of her was piled with various documents, the contents of which involved the happiness and stability of many people in the family.

She read each one carefully and responded to it. Sometimes, because of a problem in a document, she would ask others to check it for a long time.

In this way, day turned into night, and night turned into day, and Christine was always busy.

Just then, someone knocked on the door outside.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Enter."

After Christine finished speaking, she realized that it was Andre who came in. She was stunned for a moment, and she even forgot when Andre went out just now.

"Weren't you in the study the whole time?"

Andre was slightly stunned and said:

"I just went out to get something, don't you remember? Do you want to take a break for a while?"

Christine was silent for a while, then shook her head and said, "There is still a lot of work to do, I can't stop yet, maybe you can help me get some energy drugs later."

The energy drug invented by Byrne decades ago is widely used in many foods as a food additive and is now a best-seller throughout Syat.

Christine usually chews the energy drug dry instead of eating the food containing it in an inefficient way.

"Ms. Christine, the envelope in my hand contains the latest information about the family and the church. I need to report it to you."

"You say it."

The long stairway to godhood that Andre walked on was the road of order, and now he has successfully stepped onto the second step.

"First, about the Dagger Brotherhood..."

Christine listened silently. Andre calmly reported many situations during this period of time, and suddenly said:

"By the way, Sir Darren feels that the 'Black Tide' he founded has always been a one-sided contribution to the family. He hopes that the loan can be repaid in a year."

Christine in the wheelchair had a cold expression on her face. She shook her head without hesitation and said calmly:

"No, let Darren pay me back the money on time. Not a penny less. As the Fisher family grows bigger, the family members need to abide by the family rules more and more. If he really can't pay back the money, I will just deduct it from the family dividends."

Andre nodded and continued calmly:
"One of Archibald's grandsons impulsively killed an innocent person in a tavern in Nasir City, and it caused quite a stir. He hopes to settle the matter with just a fine."

Uncle Archibald?
Christine thought about it and realized that publicly killing innocent citizens in Nasir City was a serious problem and would cause public outrage if not handled with care.

So she shook her head firmly and said:

"We cannot allow this. We must follow the rules and punish this person. Let's arrest and bring him to justice."

Andre looked at his princess and nodded again.

"I understand."

Christine sighed.

Deep down she knew the consequences of her decision.

Uncle Archibald, who was a little ignorant but had watched me grow up since I was a child and always treated my father as his own brother, would no longer have the same good relationship with me as before.

But Christine felt that she had to enforce the rules that had just been established.

Otherwise, what is the meaning of its existence.

Andre was silent for a while before continuing.

"There is one more thing. The day before yesterday, Sir Darren's third child was born. His name is Aqir, but he did not invite you to the banquet..."

Christine was stunned, then nodded.

"Darren didn't invite me? It seems that he knew I wouldn't let him default on the loan. That's good. I don't have time to deal with these troublesome things."

"Now, Uncle Byrne must master the fourth-order sequence power as soon as possible. I will take care of the complicated matters of the Fisher family."

Byrne has recently handed over many matters to Christine, freeing himself up almost completely to devote himself to the pursuit of knowledge.

That was something she asked for.

After Christine finished speaking, she took a deep breath and took the next document to look at it, but for some reason, deep down in her heart, she still felt a little aggrieved.

Damn, why this unnecessary emotion?
She shook her head, trying to clear her mind of all distractions, and suddenly she felt a black screen in front of her eyes, and then she fainted.

When Christine woke up again, she found herself lying on the bed, and beside her were Andre with a gentle look on his face, and Lillian with a concerned look in her eyes.

Lillian quickly frowned and said in a rather blaming tone:

"You haven't eaten or slept in many days, right? You're a Transcendent of this level, but you actually fainted due to physical weakness and emotional excitement. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen this in decades."

Christine smiled bitterly and said:

"Sorry, I forgot. There are too many things to do during this period of time. I can't finish them. I can't finish them at all..."

"I didn't expect that as a superhuman, I would be so weak."

She vaguely discovered a fact, that is, the cursed power on her legs seemed to affect her overall physical fitness.

Although he and the old butler Theo were both "court attendants" of the third tier, his physical fitness was much better than his.

Lillian looked at the numerous documents on the desk and recalled what she had heard. In fact, after that family meeting, her father handed over most of the family's daily affairs to Christine. And Christine was more serious about many things, and even brought up old issues. Sometimes, she almost increased her workload several times out of thin air.

Working hard is a good thing, but is it really good?

Lillian thought for a while and decided to tell some facts.

"Christine, there is something I have to tell you. Actually, there are more and more people in the family who hate you. It's not just the problem of the team of 'Purifiers' you founded, but also some of your personal behaviors that have caused people to hate you..."

"Recently, many people have been saying behind your back that you are cold-blooded and inhumane."

Christine nodded and said, "Then they are quite right, and these are all things I have agreed with Uncle Byrne in advance."

Lillian was stunned. She didn't expect that her father had reached such an agreement with Christine.

Christine continued, “Those punishments and harsh decisions will slightly affect Uncle Byrne’s image in the eyes of family members. He doesn’t need to do it. I can do it.”

"I think a family is a machine, a precision-running machine..."

"The priests of the Reforged Church said that if a machine wants to operate normally, it needs to consume lubricating oil, and the family is a precision-operated machine. Sometimes I think it would be better for me to be the lubricating oil."

She paused and calmly stated the reality.

"My talent is very insufficient. I am afraid that I will never be able to reach the fifth level in my lifetime. Therefore, my personal extraordinary power is completely insignificant to the overall situation."

"I sincerely feel that the most important thing is that I can keep the entire family running smoothly."

“Everyone has a perfect position.”

Lillian sighed and said with relief: "Christine, you have worked so hard."

"I won't continue to persuade you. After all, everyone has his or her own beliefs."

"If only Kano could be a bit like you and care more about the family..."

When mentioning her twin brother whom she hadn't seen for several years, Christine's face also looked a little nostalgic, and she shook her head and said:

"He and I are completely different people. I understand this better than anyone else in the world. That guy has no concept of collectivism in his heart. He is also different from a realistic person like me. He does not agree with the rules and constraints of the world."

"But deep down in my heart I still don't hate Kano, not only because we are twins, but also because I know Kano will be helpful to the Fisher family in the end."

-

Greenbrook Province, the largest province in Syat.

In recent months, rainfall in Greenbrook Province has decreased significantly, resulting in a severe drought. Large amounts of land have begun to crack, crops in the fields have withered, and livestock are unable to get enough water and food.

People's lives have been severely affected. Faced with water shortages and food scarcity, many families have to rely on limited daily reserve water and have begun digging deep wells to try to find more underground water sources.

In an ordinary little village, the village chief gathered everyone together to figure out how to solve the problem of survival.

"If it doesn't rain again, I'm afraid we're going to have a lot of deaths this year."

"It's a pity that the old lord suddenly passed away due to illness two years ago. The new lord is a child and there is no one who can take care of us."

"What should we do?"

When everyone was discussing, suddenly a middle-aged man with a resolute face raised his hand and said with a deep look in his eyes: "I think we should ask the people in the church to think of a solution for this matter."

He is Abner, the village hunter, and considered by many to be the most mature and calm man in the village.

The village beauty, the village chief's daughter, Alice, nodded and said in agreement:

"Supernatural beings have the ability to create something out of nothing, and can make water appear directly out of thin air. I think as long as we ask the priest of the church for help, the situation in the village can be solved quickly!"

The village chief thought for a while, and finally said: "This is the only way now. Although I don't think the church will send anyone to rescue us...but we have to try."

"So, who is willing to leave the village and seek help from the church?"

"I am willing."

Abner nodded calmly and raised his hand to show that he was willing. The villagers cheered, and then Alice also said that she wanted to go, but was immediately scolded and rejected by the village chief.

"Alice, what on earth are you thinking? How could I possibly let you leave the village?"

Hunter Abner also said frankly that it would be difficult for him to cross mountains and rivers with an ordinary girl. Alice could only leave helplessly after hearing this.

Recently, due to the drought, there are more and more bandits in Greenbru Province. In addition, crossing mountains and rivers to go to places you have never been to is a very dangerous thing, and the villagers are a little scared.

No one spoke for a moment.

The old village chief was a little disappointed.

At this moment, a young man in his twenties slowly raised his hand.

"I'll go too."

The old village chief looked at the exceptionally handsome young man and fell into deep thought.

He came to this village a year ago, claiming to be a disaster victim who had fled from nearby. He used his last money to buy a piece of wasteland and began to cultivate it day after day.

However, what made the villagers most curious was that there was a woman following the man at that time. She was a beautiful woman who was out of tune with everyone and was always persuading the man to leave.

But after about half a year, the beautiful woman suddenly left the village and disappeared without a trace, leaving the man alone in the village.

The old village chief hesitated for a moment, but still said with a smile: "Okay, Kano, then you go too. It's time for you to make some contributions to the village."
