Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

Although Nian didn't know if any guests came to this business, if they stayed next door, there was no need to worry about making the guests feel rude.

Pushing open the heavy iron door, Maria immediately saw Deste sitting at the table, holding a pen and meditating there.

She moved forward with some curiosity and asked, "Sister Desire, what are you doing?"

"It's Maria..."

Seeing Maria pushing the door open, Deste also put down the pen in her hand and replied, "I am sorting out the information I collected some time ago,"

Maria was shocked, and then said apologetically, "Ah, I'm sorry... I didn't disturb you."

"Not at all..." Deste replied with a wry smile, "It would be better to say that I have no idea at all now."

Due to inexplicable reasons, she almost lost her life and was declared dead by two large companies. It was impossible to say that Deste didn't have any complaints in her heart.

At least Deste hopes that she can die with clarity.

However, if the secret that caused her death was so easy to detect, I am afraid that with Deste's sensitivity to clues, she would have already noticed it during the process of collecting clues, and she would not have made the decision in a daze. The death flag is set.

So she stayed here for a whole day and looked at it, but she couldn't figure out the reason.

"Then do you need my help?"

Maria is now at her most energetic age, and the courses assigned to her in [-] cannot consume all her energy.

It may be the nature of children of this age to seek death. Ever since she heard about Deste from her master, Maria had become strongly curious about her experience.

Now that she finally had the opportunity, Maria could no longer suppress her eager curiosity.

"This……"

Deste looked very hesitant.

There are secrets hidden in this information that can lead to death. The little blond girl in front of you is the little princess of the Linguang family. Do you really want to involve her in such danger?

But no matter how much Deste hesitated, she didn't show it clearly.

"Maria, didn't you just finish practice? You'd better take a shower quickly. It's not too late to talk about my affairs later."

"Yeah, I'll be right back."

Maria's face turned slightly red. Thinking of approaching someone else while covered in sweat, she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

After saying these words, Maria ran into the bathroom.

When she heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, Deste rubbed her temples with a headache on her face.

"The little princess of the Linguang family..."

Before, when the boss of this firm proposed to send her to Linguang's house for a while, Deste didn't think so at all.

What kind of private relationship with the clan leader... In Deste's expectation, the other party should be planning to use Bol Pharmaceutical's channels to temporarily place her there.

In this way, her identity there would become very embarrassing. Deste could foresee that situation, so she might as well just hide in this place. As long as she didn't go out and wander around, it would probably be equally safe.

Of course, there was still a trace of luck in Deste's heart. She did not take refuge in Linguang Manor because she wanted to avoid being labeled as belonging to their camp after everything was over.

Even if Deste has never done this before, she has seen it done a lot. Once she is completely labeled by a certain party, it means that she is done. From now on, she can only be limited to that party. Within the camp, many cases will have no connection with her.

However, when Maria appeared in front of her the next morning, Deste's illusions in this regard were completely shattered.

The boss of the firm went out to investigate. It's not surprising. He just got so much information from her. If he was still staying in the firm safely, then Deste would doubt his purpose.

The person who takes care of the boss's house is said to be his sister, which is no problem, but Deste is a little surprised. She didn't expect that the boss would be from Yan country. Dayan is still thousands of miles away from here.

Then, she saw Maria.

The face is almost exactly the same as that of Knight Yao who appeared on the TV station a few years ago, but if you look closely, you can still tell that Knight Yao's temperament is heroic, while this little girl is more lively and cute.

When she guessed Maria's identity and heard her calling Nian her master, Deste realized that she seemed to have thought wrong. That man really didn't lie. He was indeed very close to the Linguang family. personal relationship.

Feeling stomachache, Deste resigned herself to her fate. The tossing and tossing seemed no different from her seeking refuge in Linguang Manor.

At least her safety was indeed guaranteed.

Deste has never seen anyone who can carry a blacksmith shop with her. Even if she is in danger and defeated, she can put her in that blacksmith shop and run away.

Over the course of a day, Deste also got to know the two of them quite a bit.

On the other hand, the young man who rescued her has also disappeared like the boss of the office. Now, only the three of them are still here.

After some messy thinking, the sound of running water in the bathroom stopped.

After hurriedly changing into clothes, Maria rushed to the living room in high spirits without even having time to dry her hair.

"Sister Deste, here I come!"

Maria cheered excitedly, which made her look somewhat boyish.

"Okay... I'll let you take a look."

Shaking her head, Deste pushed the notebook to Maria.

I don’t know if anyone has read this notebook, and it doesn’t seem to matter if a few more people see it.

"Great!"

Maria cheered and eagerly picked up the notebook.

What is she worried about... She is just a weak lawyer, and she is the eldest lady of the Linguang family, so there is no need for her to worry.

Rather, she should be happy that the eldest lady of the Linguang family is actually interested in her affairs.

When Deste discovered that Maria was reading from the first page of the notebook, she didn't care.

Although some of the cases in it were quite difficult at the time, they are actually quite interesting when viewed from the perspective of a bystander afterwards.

Therefore, Maria quickly forgot about what she said she wanted to help.

She looked at the notes with relish and said, "Lawyer...Uncle seemed to have said before that he wanted me to become a lawyer."

Hearing what Maria said, Deste couldn't help but become curious, "Uncle...is he the current chief knight of the Linguang family?"

"It's not Changqi. Uncle, he didn't take over Changqi's position."

Maria said a little absent-mindedly, "But it doesn't seem to be wrong. They are obviously not long knights, but they have been doing long knight things... It's the same with my sister. I really don't understand what they are thinking."

That Mr. Maena is actually not a long rider?Although she was very curious, Deste wisely did not continue to get involved in the internal affairs of the Linguang family.

"Why would he want you to be a lawyer?"

Deste speculated with interest on the reason why Maena did this.

Are lawyers, like knights, helping to maintain order in Casimir, or is there some other great and upright reason?

However, Deste heard Maria reply, "Of course it's because lawyers make more money. In addition to doctors, lawyers ranked second in "Casimir's Ten Most Profitable Professions" Woolen cloth."

"My talent in medical origin stone skills is not as good as my sister's, so my uncle is going to let me study law."

"S-You're right. Lawyers' income is indeed quite high."

Deste twitched the corners of her lips and replied with some reluctance.

Such a realistic reason almost silenced her. The glorious image that the Linguang Knight had built up in Deste's heart with countless legends was shattered the moment she heard this reason. She couldn't believe it. The Changqi of the Guang family would actually say such a thing.

With the last glimmer of hope, Deste asked, "But if it's just the high income, it shouldn't be the reason for choosing this career, right? Does the Linguang family still lack this kind of money?"

"It's lacking! Why isn't it lacking?"

Speaking of this, Maria immediately complained, "My uncle was just a small clerk before, and his income was not enough to support the family. He also had to spend a large amount of money every year to maintain the estate passed down by the family."

"Uncle finally found an opportunity to throw this hot potato away, but my sister disagreed. She wanted to make money again and buy the manor back."

Now, the money is not enough.

Even if it were redeemed at the original price, it would not be money that Margaret could save in a short time. She would have to struggle for it for at least several years without food or water.

Hearing such a realistic reason again, Deste held it in for a long time and only said, "The Linguang family has also declined..."

Sure enough, living in this world is not easy for anyone, and big families also have problems that big families have to face.

She never expected that the Linguang family would be stuck with the so-called 'manor maintenance fees', and Deste also agreed with the idea of ​​​​the social beast she had never met.

"But you still didn't agree in the end."

"Of course, I'm not interested in those legal provisions at all."

So what you are interested in is blacksmithing?This kind of hobby is not at all compatible with girls.

However, Deste is not qualified to comment on other people's hobbies casually.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Deste asked another thing that was troubling her, "By the way, Maria, you should know the boss of this firm, right? What is his identity?"

"Why does it feel like he can influence many decisions of Ball Pharmaceuticals? Is he also very familiar with the boss of Ball Pharmaceuticals?"

Hearing this question, Maria also stopped reading the story in the notebook, raised her head and glanced at Deste rather strangely.

Not only are they very familiar, they are clearly the same person.

In Deste's confused expression, Maria hesitated for a moment and then said slowly, "I know, I know, but since he didn't tell you, I can't say more. You'd better wait until he comes back, Just go and ask him in person."

"All right……"

In fact, Deste didn't have much hope, and Maria's rejection was expected by her.

What is that guy's identity... so mysterious?

Due to various misunderstandings and the appearance of the previous year, Deste ruled out the correct option from the beginning. No matter how hard she guessed, it was impossible to guess Li Ang's true identity.

Deste's curiosity was satisfied, and the room became quiet, except for the sound of Maria flipping through her notebook.

However, not long after, the two heard a soft sound from the bathroom, followed by the sound of some kind of liquid falling on the floor.

"Strange, didn't I turn off the faucet just now?"

Maria tilted her head, put down her notebook and prepared to go over to see the situation.

But before Maria even took a step, she felt a force coming from behind, pulling her back forcefully.

"Don't go there!"

Deste screamed and looked towards the bathroom with fear in her eyes.

Although many things happened that night after Deste fell asleep, she did vaguely hear a strange sound in her dream.

The sound coming from the bathroom sounded too thick, slightly different from the sound of running water.

It was this slight difference that awakened Deste's hazy memory.

Deste shuddered and said in a trembling voice, "That's what I heard that night...this is it!"

Meanwhile, next door.

Nian pulled out her shattered sword out of thin air, banged it on the table, and stared at the person opposite with a threatening look.

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this in someone else's home, right?"

Chapter 77 Arrogant Visitor

Back to ten minutes ago, after letting Maria go to rest next door, Nian Ye was ready to receive the uninvited guest.

She also sighed a little in her heart, this shabby office can really attract customers... It has only been opened for less than two days, and it has not even been publicized. I really don't know how people outside found this place.

"Come, come, come right away."

In response to the slightly hasty knock on the door, Nian quickly walked over and opened the door for the anxious guest.

Standing at the door was a middle-aged man from Luper who was quite well-dressed. He was wearing a suit that was obviously not cheap and was probably specially customized. He was tapping there slowly but without stopping. door.

When he opened the door, he stopped the car in time and hung his arms in the air.

"Sir, I wonder what brings you here?"

"I'm here to issue a commission."

Hearing this voice, Nian shook his eyebrows subconsciously.

The magnetic middle-aged male voice doesn't sound like anything special, but it always gives him a very subtle sense of disharmony.

And this man's appearance... also gave Nian a very strange feeling.

A determined face?Tough?Masculine?These adjectives don't seem to be right. He is obviously quite handsome, with a mature aura unique to middle-aged men. He should be very popular with some young girls, but no matter how he looks at him, he doesn't like him.

It's a bit disrespectful to say that, but Mr. Nian felt that this man's face was created through plastic surgery and was full of artificial traces.
