……

Seeing that the atmosphere in the private room was a bit dull, Liu Jian took out a few cans of orange juice drinks from the storage compartment and gave each person one can.

After taking a sip, he slowly said:"Your stepmother is not simple."

"Her connivance was indispensable behind Harward's behavior."

"As for your father, I don't know much about it"

"But since he was able to single-handedly build the Colchicum Merchant Group and become a wealthy man in Black Rock City, he must not be a stupid guy."

Liu Jian's words were very impolite. He didn't like beating around the bush, especially at this juncture. This more straightforward conversation slightly eased Ophelia's entanglement.

It wasn't Harward that worried her. It was the deeply hidden stepmother, Ursula. It can be seen from the hysterical words that Howard said before his death to Ursula's reaction when the old maester Inagio performed the autopsy. The matter is not simple.

In addition, the appearance of Moll Greenleaf is also very strange. Ophelia must know the truth. It is just her nonsense that Moll Greenleaf kidnapped Harward.

In fact, it was Harward who took the initiative to contact Mo Mo. Er Luye, let them send excellent scouts to sneak into the caravan station in the West District, attack the temporary alchemy workshop, and robbed more than 20 Mithril Tears. The key points are as follows. The first is why Harward was able to contact the elusive Moir Greenleaf, and secondly, how did he get those thugs to cooperate with them in a peaceful manner?

It is difficult to explain the whole story through a simple money-employment relationship. After all, those guys are not a mercenary team that normally collects money to do things. Based on the above situation, Ursula Walton, the stepmother who often whispered in her father's ear, surfaced.

After being distracted for a moment, she suddenly came back to her senses and followed Liu Jian's words and replied

"Master, you are right"

"I also suspect that it’s Yusula’s fault!"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Ursula Walton, this is her name..."

As Ophelia said, she suddenly raised her eyebrows, and a look of reminiscence appeared on her beautiful and delicate face.

"Wait, your words gave me ideas"

"Speaking of my father's journey and the rise of the Colchicum Merchant Group, I have to mention the Walton family in the giant city of Geratis."

"That is Ursula's family, also known as the 'Red-haired Walton' family by most people."

"It was with the support of the Walton family that my father opened up many exclusive trade routes starting from Black Rock City, which allowed the Colchicum business group to develop rapidly!"

"Before that, before my biological mother died, colchicum was just a small caravan."

"I heard from my father that at that time, he and his mother often served as bodyguards to protect caravans heading to other towns or settlements."

"My mother is a pure-blood elf and an outstanding silver-level mountain ranger!"

"His father was a silver-level swordsman with superb swordsmanship."Ophelia became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, and she immediately regained a lot of energy.

Memories and self-narrations are actually a form of review. Liu Jian did not interrupt the half-elf eldest lady's narration. In this Baro O'Day, his There is plenty of time, and he also wants to know the story behind it

"Your father and your biological mother must have a very good relationship."

Liu Jian added just right. This sentence once again aroused Ophelia's approval.

"Yes, my father loved her"

"But I was still very young at that time and didn’t understand the details."

"Even the image of my mother that has long been blurred in my memory comes from a piece of crystal."

"When I was very young, my mother was seriously ill, and even temple baptism and a fourth-level healing spell scroll could not cure her."

"My father met Ursula shortly after my mother died"

"Then came the red-headed Walton family’s support of Colchicum"

"And then, damn Harward was born."

The stories in the future are relatively simple and intuitive. Because Ophelia was still young at that time, many details were learned from her father Ansetus, and they were all stories that were pieced together many times, but there was too much missing in them. There are many key elements.

But no matter what, after she gave a complete account, Liu Jian also thought that the origin of Ursula was very strange. Harward was disgusting enough in the first place, but now he has multiple vicious stepmothers.

These guys Every one of them is a stumbling block for Liu Jian. While trying to start a new business, he also has to find a way to deal with Ursula.

Even without Ophelia, as long as Liu Jian wants to develop steadily in this city, sooner or later There will also be conflicts and conflicts of interest with her.

Domination is his highest respect for the other world. He does not intend to be just a simple businessman, especially Liu Jian understands that he can rely on swallowing the fragments of the Gate of All Things in the cave. While strengthening the golden finger, he can completely eliminate the threat of the monster caves in the area.

This is the real basis for him to hope to establish a stable territory, so he has ambitions for Black Rock City.

Liu Jian crossed his hands and rested his chin. A key question was raised again:"What has Ursula been doing all these years?"

"How is her relationship with your father?"

This question made Ophelia look thoughtful. She pondered for a while before slowly speaking:

"Yusula’s daily itinerary is probably to go shopping on the first circle of Blue Jay Street."

"It's the most luxurious commercial street in the city"

"Sometimes I go to the library on the same level and stay there for a few water hours."

"In addition, I went on a horse riding tour with other ladies in the city.…"

"Her schedule is relatively fixed"

"As for the relationship between Yusula and my father, I don’t know much about it either."

"I always feel like they hide some secrets from each other."Ophelia's answer made Liu Jian thoughtful, and his intuition told him that there must be something fishy.

Liu Jian took another sip of the drink and tapped the table with his palm to recall Ophelia's thoughts.

"Go back and investigate about Yusula."

"Don't hire scouts, just find a solution from within Akso Manor"

"She has lived in the manor for so many years, and there will always be traces left in the living room, study, bathroom and even kitchen."

"In addition, if the Colchicum West Caravan can no longer be controlled, then we will form our own caravan."

"By the way, how much money did these two Baloos make?"Liu Jian talked about business, and also gave Ophelia new inspiration.

When talking about making money, she patted her forehead and took out a shoe about half the size of a shoe box from the cloth bag behind her. The money box.

Opening the money box, there were forty or fifty dark gold coins, dozens of mithril coins, and a small amount of black iron coins (the lowest was black iron coins, which I had ignored before). She had already gone to the currency exchange shop in advance. Changed to large-denomination currency that is more convenient to carry

"Master, this is the net profit from the last two baroo days."

"Except for the twenty-three Mithril Tears stolen by Maul Greenleaf."

"The remaining eighty-five Mithril Tears were sold, plus proceeds from sparkling water and bicycles"

"After deducting taxes and caravan shares, the net income is 4940 silver coins"

"There is also a reward of 1,071 silver coins for More Green Leaf advanced by the city hall."

"The total total is: 60,115 silver coins."

Counting what was left before and the more than 30,000 mithril coins collected from Moore Green Leaf, Liu Jian has a capital of nearly 1,200 dark gold coins.

This money is enough for him to do many things. , including collecting magic skills and magic crystals that record various elemental magics, all cost money.

And the current money is only the income from two rounds of limited trade.

If he builds his own business Team, let go of your hands and feet to ship goods, you can definitely make a lot of money. At the worst, you can give Mithril Tears a 10% discount, which can completely make those cross-city businessmen grab the head.

Ophelia put the cash box respectfully In front of Liu Jian, she was wearing a slim-fitting ranger suit. She was in a private room, and she didn't put on a jacket, so her tight waist and two big melons were changing with every movement.

Liu Jian looked at Ophelia with admiration and took out twenty dark gold coins from the cash box:"You keep this money to prepare the caravan."

"You can offer double the salary to recruit all the outstanding talents you know!"

"The faster you move, the better. I still have a lot of mithril tears that I can use!"

"You can go out and try to collect a lot of dark gold coins, I need a lot of them!!"
