There was even a quarter when the company responsible for managing the power supply in Daqishiling changed three times, but they even used the same equipment and personnel.

"Annex, then be annexed", Casimir's proverb describing the attacks between ancient lords has been given new meaning in the new era - the result of wars between enterprises.

Thinking of this, the Grand Knight couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Theoretically speaking, as a private economic organization, the Chamber of Commerce should not have such a strong influence as it does now.

But the fact is that the Chamber of Commerce has become an important part of Casimir's politics. Economic activities and public affairs related to people's lives are mostly controlled by the Chamber of Commerce, and a large number of basic industries and public services are outsourced by the Supervisory Commission to private enterprises under the Chamber of Commerce.

In this case, the Chamber of Commerce is seen as Casimir's shadow government, competing with the Supervisory Council.

Therefore, if the Securities and Futures Commission wants to suppress the Chamber of Commerce, it must come up with some deterrent "results". However, for Casimir, it is still too difficult...

"Grand Knight Commander, we won!"

Just as the Great Knight was sighing, the office door suddenly opened and a knight cheered excitedly:

"A great victory, a great victory! We beat those Ursus bastards out!"

"What? I didn't give any orders, so why is this happening...oh?"

The Grand Knight's first reaction was to wonder who had disobeyed his orders, but after seeing the battle report, he was stunned. This kind of all-round victory had not appeared in Casimir for a long time. With such a victory, his orders no longer mattered.

I think the Chamber of Commerce must have been in a panic at this time. For the people of Casimir, victory is always the most effective stimulant. This kind of victory is also something that the Chamber of Commerce dare not suppress or discredit through media channels. After all, they cannot really have omnipotence.

Moreover, the Grand Knight believed that the intelligence obtained by the Federation of Commerce was much less than his own. As the border war zone was under the control of the Supervisory Commission, if it could not even do this, then the Supervisory Commission should just kowtow to the Federation of Commerce.

'The Second Sun...'

The Grand Knight Commander touched his chin thoughtfully, then sat back down at the table and began preparing for the publicity work that would soon be used. He believed that the Silver Spear Pegasus were already coming this way, and they would bring him first-hand information about the battle.

Then, after finishing all these, the Grand Knight Commander planned to go to the Lin Guang family to see old Lin Guang. Now the Grand Knight Commander began to suspect whether old Lin Guang had secretly let Mainna go. After all, there are only a handful of outstanding descendants in the Lin Guang family, but is Mainna... really that good at fighting?

Just as the Grand Knight was puzzled, the transport vehicle carrying the armor and the girl had already arrived at its destination. After being escorted home by the two knights, Maria immediately headed to her grandfather's hospital room. This morning's events were truly beyond her imagination, and...

Maria knocked her head in annoyance. Why was she so distracted that she didn't hear what the ghost said? She could only hold the little note afterwards to understand his instructions.

Anyway...Maria looked at the tonic left behind, then at her grandfather's dying appearance, gritted her teeth, and fed the potion to him.

Maria was taking a gamble. After all, there was no turning back for her now. After helping her sister to leave Casimir safely, her grandfather was given a critical illness notice by the doctor several times. The fact that he survived could only be said to be the afterglow of the sun, but that too would soon fade.

So, if this medicine can make my grandfather's condition better, Mr. Ghost, no matter what your origins are, I will repay you. If you want my body, just take it.

With this awareness, Maria followed the instructions on the note and fed the potion to her grandfather, holding her breath and waiting for her grandfather's reaction.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

Half an hour later, just when Maria was about to give up waiting, the old Lin Guang let out a long cry and slowly opened his eyes. His originally cloudy eyes seemed to have become much clearer at this time. There was no doubt that the potion had successfully worked.

Old Lin Guang looked at Maria, blinked, looked at her for a while, forced a smile, and said softly:

"Oh, my little Maria, you look so nervous. I think you have some wonderful experience to tell your dear grandfather."

306 When parents call you by your full name.jpg

Maria was overjoyed to see Cyril Linguang, also known as the old Linguang, wake up. Although her grandfather's condition was still not very good, being able to speak so fluently was already a considerable improvement. This made Maria subconsciously move closer to her grandfather, looking at the old man in front of her with tears in her eyes.

Although I have been prepared for the separation, who would be willing to face this kind of separation if possible?

When Old Linguang saw the look on his granddaughter's face and then looked at the medicine on his bedside table, he suddenly thought of something and smiled and joked with his little granddaughter.

What Old Linguang didn't expect was that when he asked this question, Maria immediately woke up, quickly took out a piece of paper from her pocket, and said to Old Linguang very seriously:

"Grandfather, I'm going to ask you a few questions now, and you should answer me truthfully!"

"Haha... Well, okay, little Maria, just ask."

Old Linguang wanted to laugh out loud like he used to, but his body didn't allow it. He was out of breath and coughed, then replied softly. His life could be described as glorious and he lived up to Casimir. However, whenever he thought of his family, Old Linguang always felt guilty. In this situation, no matter what little Maria said, Old Linguang would try his best to satisfy her.

"Grandfather, do you feel the heat in your limbs now?"

"No."

"What about the abdomen?"

"No, but if you're talking about a fever, my chest does seem a little warm."

"Chest..."

Hearing this answer, Maria immediately brought the paper closer, muttering to herself while searching for the corresponding symptoms. After finding them, Maria couldn't help but close her eyes and pinched her brows.

Although Maria was very grateful to the ghost, she had to complain that the words on the paper were too small and densely packed. When Maria first glanced at it, she thought there were ants on it.

But it must be said that the words are written very neatly and can be seen clearly if you look carefully. Maria seriously doubts whether the size of the font was decided by the ghost gentleman after testing it with his own body.

"Grandfather, excuse me, I might have to move your body."

Maria followed the instructions on the paper and put Lao Linguang's body into a seemingly strange position. She then asked Lao Linguang to maintain a breathing frequency of three light breaths followed by a deep breath. She then took out another bottle of 'Xbao' and fed it to Lao Linguang.

Old Linguang was also feeling a little strange at this time. When did Casimir have such a strange treatment? But since it was little Maria who came to him, it seemed that the child had spent a lot of effort to find such a folk remedy. In this case, he would just cooperate with her. However, this medicine was a bit interesting. It seemed to have made him feel a little more energetic.

"Grandfather, do you feel a current flowing from your limbs to your heart?"

After waiting for about half an hour, Maria asked again, and this time Old Linguang nodded. The old man now realized that his granddaughter seemed to have found an incredible medical plan this time.

The situation of Old Linguang also verified Chen Huijie's guess. Old Adams over-exerted his body when he was young, and with his age, he fell seriously ill and collapsed due to complete exhaustion. Old Linguang suffered too many injuries and overwork in previous battles, and he did not keep up with his post-war recovery. As time went by, his energy and blood were exhausted, and he was unable to continue, so he collapsed.

Now that the symptoms matched, Maria quickly looked at the treatment method. The paper said that she could consider taking a tonic pill morning and night, directly without dilution.

As a general in the army, no matter how exhausted his energy and blood are, Lao Linguang still has a solid physical foundation. There is no need to worry about ending up like Adams, who had to use even such a mild tonic with caution.

Then, after the tonic is used up, Lao Linguang should eat and drink as he pleases, stop doing anything naughty, and take good care of himself. Although only half a bar of power will be left after the tonic is used, if used well and sparingly, it can still be used for a while.

As for what to do after that period of time, Chen Huijie estimated that he would have to come over by then to finish the work for Sofia and Platinum, and then he would personally test the old man.

At this time, Old Linguang also began to inquire about the origin of this treatment method. It would be best if he could invite the doctor to his home. He naturally did not want to die now. If his health could be better, he would start to "move around" so that his other granddaughter could return to Casimir openly!

Maria had no intention of hiding anything and began to recount her miraculous journey. At first, Old Linguang thought that little Maria had made an agreement with others and was using this excuse to conceal her identity. However, after hearing about the Sun Knights boarding the warship, assaulting the fortress, and eliminating the inner guards, Old Linguang's face suddenly became solemn. He was silent for a long time, but he couldn't help but say:

"Which ancestor is this, a corpse or a spirit? I don't remember any of our Linguang ancestors having no obvious racial characteristics?"

"Grandfather, I don't know either. Anyway, why don't you take a look at this note? Maybe you can find something out of it."

The family now had a leader, so Maria naturally handed the decision-making power to Old Linguang. Old Linguang just glanced at it, handed the paper back and said:

"Little Maria, please read it to me. This is too hard on the old man's eyesight."

"Yes, Grandfather."

Maria read the above content clearly and quickly, and Lao Linguang's expression was somewhat subtle.

Although the content was quite formal, he could sense that the person who wrote it seemed to regret that Old Linguang was too old and that he had not had the opportunity to fight with him. But at the same time, that person seemed to have high expectations for his youngest son, Mainna, and wanted to have a fight with him.

Wait a minute, can you please put aside the matter of my ancestors for now? Based on the strength you have shown so far...is Mainna really qualified to be your opponent?

Moreover, the wording used here is also very interesting - 'not again', what does it mean? Does it mean that Mainna has dealt with this person before and promised to have a duel, but has deliberately refused or even avoided him time and time again?

Thinking of this, Old Linguang immediately asked for Little Maria's communicator and called Mainna. Then a somewhat helpless voice came from the communicator:

"Maria, I told you not to call me casually..."

"Maenna Linguang, I'm not little Maria, I'm your father, come home right now!"

307 Jie: Is this a gift for me?

Mainna felt that her life was like a stagnant pool.

Sitting on the bench in the company with a newspaper in his hand, Mainna thought so. He was born into the Linguang noble family of Casimir. His father Cyril Linguang was a war hero of Casimir. He also had his brother Snitz Linguang and sister-in-law Yolanta Linguang, who were also rising stars of Casimir. No matter how Mainna thought about it, he should be a free and easy rich young man.

In fact, this was also true of Mainna in his early years. When he was young, he formed a ranger organization with some like-minded friends. He did not act according to the code of chivalry and lived a very free and easy life in Casimir.

While serving as a ranger in Mainna, he also heard the news that his brother Snits Linguang and his sister-in-law Yolanta Linguang were heading off to the battlefield. During the Knights' raid on Ursus, the couple made their mark together under the banner of the same knightly order.

In particular, Snitz temporarily took over the command of the seriously injured Knight Commander in a crucial battle, leaving a deep impression on both the Kavkaz and Ukrainian armies.

This made Mainna return home immediately and welcome her returning brother with the warmest hug. For a while, the Linguang family was really lively.

Mainna thought that this kind of joy would last forever, but suddenly one day, Lin Guang and his wife were ordered to leave home at night to carry out an unknown mission. From then on, the two disappeared completely and there has been no news of them since then.

Moreover, his father Cyril Linguang has been bedridden for many years and may pass away at any time. There are two little children, Margaret and Maria, at home. There is no doubt that the disappearance of these two people has become a turning point in the fate of the Linguang family.

Faced with this situation, Mainna did not hesitate much and immediately returned home.

However, he did not do what the outside world speculated, such as "the second son of the Linguang family will join the Supervisory Society or the Knights' Association, and then take over the title of the head knight of the Linguang family from the recuperating Cyril."

After returning home, Mainna chose to work for a medium-sized enterprise whose main business was building materials. The enterprise was controlled by Mieszko Industries and maintained relatively stable performance. It had not been accused of major crimes and had no obvious aristocratic background. It was one of the thousands of ordinary enterprises in Casimir.

This was undoubtedly a surprising choice. No one knew what Mainna's purpose was in making such a choice. The Chamber of Commerce was nervous for a while, but as the days went by, Mainna did not make any other moves, and people gradually stopped paying attention to him. In the Great Knight's Territory, there were too many interesting things waiting for everyone to observe.

Ding ding ding...

Just when Mainna turned her eyes back to the newspaper, the cell phone in her arms rang. She took it out and saw a familiar number, it was Maria's. This made Mainna frown slightly. Because of her previous network of connections, Mainna knew early on that her little niece had run away, and the two knights were also asked by Mainna to escort her.

The call at this time must have meant that she had returned and wanted to apologize to him. After all, she had indeed caused a bit of trouble this time, but to be honest, it wasn't really a big deal, it was just a bit of extra work.

But he had to speak in a stern tone, and make little Maria understand that she couldn't act like this in the future. The old man's health had become worse after Margaret left. To put it bluntly, the separation...was probably only going to last for a while, and by then, he probably wouldn't have the time to take care of her. She had to think carefully about it.

Mainna quickly organized his words and prepared to scare Maria, but the voice coming from the phone made Mainna sit up straight immediately. But then he thought about it and realized that he had just visited the old man this morning. He regarded him as his brother. He was so weak that how could he speak with any strength?

But.....

Maenna thought quickly, swallowed her saliva, and said with a little courage:

"...Maria, if this was a voice changer prank, I can forgive you if you confess now."

"Little Maria, put the second drawer in for me..."

"Father, I'll be back soon. Little Maria, don't move. I'll get the things for you!"

Although the voice on the phone was not directed at her, Mainna no longer had any doubts. The old man's military belt in the drawer was something that had landed on her butt quite often when she was young. After all, compared to her brother, she was much more mischievous.

But it didn't matter anymore. As long as it was really the old man's voice, Mainna would have to skip work. With such a strong voice, it was hard not to make Mainna think of bad words like "last gasp of life". If her guess was right, no one could stop her from seeing her father for the last time today.

'Bang! '

"You're still not calm enough, kid."

Not long after, accompanied by the rude sound of a door opening, Old Linguang and Maria looked up and saw Mainna, whose clothes and hair were a little messy due to the rapid speed. Although Old Linguang was muttering, the old man smiled and waved gently, calling his young son to his side and whispered:

"I, your father, am not dying, nor am I leaving you my will. Don't be afraid that I will leave you."

After saying this, Maria felt her uncle's shoulders relax, and his tense body returned to its usual state, but his eyes, which were faintly watery, could not change back for a while.

"Maria, tell him what you just experienced. Myna, take a look at this paper."

Maena had already realized that this matter was probably unusual, so she immediately got into the mood and started listening...

"Maria, think about it carefully. Did that gentleman really not reveal any clues about his identity?"

After listening to it, Mainna only cared about this issue. Whether it was this medicine or this treatment, it all indicated that as long as that person could be invited, her father would be able to live longer. In that case, when she found her brother and sister-in-law, and brought Margaret back, the family could be reunited again.

"No, Uncle Maena..."

Maria also lowered her head and answered in a low voice. She was quite regretful now. She shouldn't have been so shocked. But... Maria recalled briefly. When she was not shocked, the only emotions conveyed by the ghost gentleman seemed to be "happy and satisfying, but it was just a little bit short". There was nothing that could be used to infer his identity.

Of course, Maria had no reservations about this sentiment and had relayed it to Old Linguang and Maenna, but the two still hadn't found anyone to match their feelings. Just as Maenna was about to ask further questions, Old Linguang waved his hand.

"Okay, don't embarrass little Maria. Doesn't the paper say it's on there? Half a bar of power will last a long time if you just use it for walking around."

Old Lin Guang stopped Ma Enna from asking further questions, then looked at him and said:

"You should understand why I called you back."

"Father, I have never met such an opponent."

Maenna recalled and said firmly:

"Father, you know me. Outside, I never pick fights where I'm clearly no match for them. Besides, when I was a Ranger... I wasn't particularly annoying. That person... probably shouldn't be targeting me for this, intent on beating me up."

Mainna didn't think that he would be that person's opponent at all. With his record, if he were to lead the Grand Knight, the Chamber of Commerce would not dare to breathe. With this level of combat power, the Helmetless Alliance would be a joke. If the Grand Knight was cruel enough, it would not be impossible for him to overturn the table and reshuffle the cards.

After finishing this, Maena immediately whispered:

"Father, I understand you want me to go to the border to investigate, but the Grand Knight Commander has plenty of people who can handle this kind of thing. I'd rather stay here."

"Child, I won't leave you so soon. I'm still waiting for our family to be reunited."
