These businessmen will eventually leave Inazuma, and then Inazuma's reputation will become unimaginably tarnished in the outside world.
After all, no matter what you, Inazuma, do, you can't control what these businessmen say, especially since they have indeed gone quite far.
Even if the isolationist order is lifted, the outside world's perception of Inazuma will likely become demonized, and Hisaki Shinobu doesn't want to see that happen.
"That's normal. After all, if they were even slightly normal, they wouldn't have done that." Su Hao remained calm. In the original storyline, the World Merchants Association also had a rather miserable time.
If it weren't for the traveler and Thomas helping the World Merchants Association, they wouldn't have been able to breathe a sigh of relief.
And then there's Chairman Kurisu, who's stubbornly holding on, while the other merchants have probably all gone home long ago, leaving the Inazuma merchants and the Kansei no Kōgyō (official in charge of managing affairs) to play their own games.
Chairman Kurisu was still trying to assure them: "Because of the Kansei Magistrate, the nobles on the islands are temporarily hesitant to purchase our goods."
"But trust me, give me some more time, and I will transport the goods to Inazuma City. The nobles in Inazuma City are also very interested in this wine, and they will definitely pay for it."
Su Hao shook his head slightly and looked at Chairman Jiulixu, saying, "Just focus on selling wine on the island for now. Don't leave the island for the time being, especially if you've already shipped the wine out."
"It's estimated that some highly skilled and well-equipped 'Wild Ambition' members will hijack this shipment that very day."
Seeing what Su Hao said, Chairman Kuri opened his mouth as if he was about to say something, but he couldn't say anything because he knew that there was indeed such a probability.
Those selfish and petty people who are determined to follow this path are not new.
"Let me handle the rest," Su Hao said, patting Chairman Kurisu on the shoulder. "I'll come over for dinner with you guys later."
With that, Su Hao and his two companions left the World Chamber of Commerce.
"So what do we do next? Should we proceed according to the original plan, or..." Hisagi looked at Su Hao, though she wanted to seek justice for the World Merchants Association at this moment.
I'm so tired, so alone
But she also knew that the priority at this stage was to find the mysterious person who sold information about Su Hao and the others, and to find out who the forces behind that person were.
At the same time, investigate whether the sudden appearance of the "Rebel Army" near Inazuma Castle was an accident or intentional.
"Let's go to the Hiiragi family first and see Hiiragi Shinsuke." Su Hao hadn't originally planned to get involved in the affairs of the World Commerce Association at this stage, but now trouble had come knocking on his door.
Su Hao has no other choice but to prioritize dealing with the World Chamber of Commerce.
If this matter is not resolved, my money will decrease, and my retirement plan with Ella will fall apart.
"Hmm." Hisaki Shinobu seemed eager to try.
Ella, standing to the side, said nothing. She remained as quiet as ever. If everything was peaceful, she would simply stand calmly behind Su Hao.
Soon, Su Hao arrived at the Hiiragi family's residence, where the guard at the entrance was none other than an old acquaintance.
"Huh? What brings you here?"
The guard at the entrance, named Shinjiro, looked at Su Hao with some confusion. Su Hao had come once half a month ago, so why was he here again today?
"Oh, it's you." Seeing that it was an old acquaintance, Su Hao was also a little amused. Last time he came over to argue with Hiiragi Shinsuke.
The person in charge of guarding the gate was also this Shinnojo. At first, he wouldn't let me in. If it weren't for Ms. Hiiragi Chisato passing by, I probably would have had to use a lot of persuasion to get in.
"Are you here to see the young lady or the master?"
Shinjiro looked at Su Hao with some wariness; he hadn't forgotten.
The young lady seemed to be chatting and laughing with the other person.
Seeing Shinnojo's wary look, Su Hao couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm here to see the head of the Hiiragi family today. Please tell him that Su Hao, the brewer, has come to pay a visit."
"it is good."
Upon hearing that Su Hao had come to see the family head, Shinjiro breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."
After saying that, Shinnojo left for the time being.
Su Hao and the others waited quietly there, guessing that they would soon start arguing with Hiiragi Shinsuke.
Just then, crisp footsteps sounded, and a woman with a slender and alluring figure appeared at the doorway.
She wore a black crown-shaped mask, and her eyes beneath the mask swept over the three people at the doorway.
Perhaps she saw something interesting, because she stopped in her tracks.
Chapter Sixteen: The Lady
Chapter 16
"!!!!!" X3
Upon seeing the person before them, Su Hao and the other two all showed expressions of considerable shock.
Hisagi Shinobu and Ella stepped forward to block Su Hao, because they clearly sensed that the woman who had suddenly appeared was very strong!
Yes, it was an intuitive feeling. Although the other party did not make a move, both Shinobu and Isla sensed it.
The woman in front of me, with her incredibly stunning figure, exuded a unique sense of oppression, as if something extremely bad would happen if she made a move.
Su Hao wasn't shocked by the other party's strength, but rather by the fact that she had appeared in Inazuma at this time.
Shouldn't this guy be slacking off with Barbatos in Mondstadt right now? How come he has time to come to Inatsume?
Yes, what appeared before Su Hao and the others was none other than the Fatui Enforcer—the lady—who most Genshin Impact players wished they could crush.
The desire to pin her down and rub her against the ground has a physical meaning, and also... other aspects.
At that moment, the other party stood at the door, looking at his group with a faint smile on his lips. Su Hao felt a sense of foreboding.
Because the remote islands are currently under the jurisdiction of the Kansei Magistrate, and although it is unknown why the lady who is causing trouble in Mondstadt is now in Inazuma.
The fact that the Kansei-buyo (Kanjo-buyo) began acquiring crystallized bone marrow to pay taxes shows that the Kansei-buyo, or rather the Hiiragi family, has now formed a deep partnership with the Gujin-shu (Folk Sect).
If a fight were to break out here for no reason, we would definitely be accused of attacking the Winter Ambassador.
"A good intuition."
The woman spoke, her eyes reflecting the figures of Kuki Shinobu and Ella. She nodded slightly and commented with a rather arrogant tone, "I thought this rotten country was full of useless trash, but I didn't expect there to be capable people here."
The lady's sudden praise stunned Su Hao once again, because in his memory...
This lady is a real foul-mouthed jerk. To put it simply, her whole body might be soft, but her mouth is definitely hard.
She confronts the Wind God! She confronts the Geo God! She confronts the Thunder God! She confronts the Traveler! She even confronts the young master, who is also an Executor!
Even on her deathbed, facing General Thunder's unexpected slash, the lady remained stubborn and refused to back down.
What happened next? This incredibly stubborn woman actually complimented someone?
"Who are you..." Hisaki Shinobu did not take out a dagger; she merely stared at the woman without doing anything out of line.
Although she didn't have the Eye of God and couldn't use elemental power at the moment, she could clearly feel the difference in their strength.
If she were to make a move, she would likely be taken down immediately, unless... the Eye of God returns to her side. Otherwise, she wouldn't even have the right to fight the other party.
The woman laughed, a chilling laugh. She looked at Jiuqi and said sarcastically, "Me? Although I have some skills, you, who have lost your God's Eye, are not qualified to know who I am."
Hisaki Shinobu was not angered by the lady's words; he remained calm and was even preparing to say something.
At this moment, Su Hao stepped forward and looked at the lady in front of him, saying, "Madam, one of the eleven executive officers of the Fools, may I ask what brings you to Inazuma?"
Su Hao immediately recognized the woman's identity. He didn't want to have anything to do with her, but judging from her appearance...
She clearly noticed something and wasn't planning to stay. Rather than pretending not to know him, she decided to take the initiative and seize control of the conversation.
Let's see why they don't just leave and instead stay here wasting time talking to us.
"Hmm?" Only then did the lady focus her gaze entirely on Su Hao. She looked him up and down, as if she remembered something. "So it's you, the nobleman who makes wine."
"I didn't expect that the Executor of the Fools would actually recognize me." Su Hao smiled gently and joked, "It seems that the reputation of my wine has already spread to the Winter Solstice Kingdom."
The woman didn't speak, but looked at Su Hao a few more times, and said with interest, "To be honest, I've tasted the wine you brewed. It's very good. After drinking it, it gives you a tingling, electric-like sensation, which is quite unique."
"And if you drink this kind of wine for a long time, your physique will gradually improve. I'm very curious about where your wine recipe comes from."
At this moment, the woman seemed to finally recognize Su Hao.
But her acting skills were clearly lacking. Su Hao could tell that someone with a personality like that would be incompetent even if she came to Inazuma on business.
She would only talk to people of Hiiragi Shinsuke's caliber. Even if she were to chat with others on a whim, she would probably just say a few words and then leave.
You have to understand that she's very busy. Unlike the young master who's always free in Liyue, once Inazuma finishes his business, he'll be heading to Mondstadt to work on the Heart of the Gods. There's no time to waste on her.
But now that she has stopped, she must have something else on her mind, and now... her purpose has indeed been exposed.
"The recipe? That's my family's ancestral brewing recipe, supposedly passed down from the General." Su Hao lied without batting an eye.
The recipe for this wine was naturally obtained through daily check-ins.
That wine does indeed have the function of improving other people's physical fitness, and if you drink this wine for a long time, there is also a certain chance of becoming immune to some lightning element attacks.
Su Hao had tested this and found that there was indeed a chance of immunity to some lightning element attacks. When he was struck by lightning in the wild, apart from his clothes being damaged, he was not seriously injured.
"Is that so? Then...would you be interested in joining the Fatui?"
The woman disliked formalities. Looking at Su Hao, she smiled and said, "In this rotten country, nothing you do will go as you wish. If you join the Fools, then..."
Before the lady could finish speaking, Shinjiro came running back, panting.
Although Shinjiro didn't know what they were discussing, he looked at Su Hao and said, "The patriarch has agreed to see you, so you should go in quickly."
“Okay.” Su Hao nodded with a smile, then looked at the lady and politely declined, “I’m sorry, I already have my own god, so I won’t think about these things.”
"But if you want to drink, I have plenty here."
After speaking, Su Hao and the others walked past the lady and, led by Shinnojo, headed towards the interior of the Hiiragi family compound.
As they passed the woman, Hisahi Shinobu and Ella tensed up, ready to defend and attack immediately should the woman make a move.
Ms. Ke did nothing. She showed no emotion in the face of Su Hao's refusal, but instead swayed her hips and left.
It was as if this was a trivial matter to her.
This made Hisaki Shinobu and Ella secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and then they continued to follow Su Hao as they walked into the Hiiragi family compound.
Chapter Seventeen: There's one more thing!
Chapter 17
Led by Shinjiro, Su Hao and his group arrived at a courtyard where only a few guards were present, and an old man was leisurely drinking tea.
