Chapter 250

Silver Wolf: "Now, it's fantasy time!"

Silver Wolf: "I'm telling you, you should wake up."

Silver Wolf: "The one getting the Penacony shares is the Astral Express in the video, not the current Astral Express."

Silver Wolf: "Wake up, you haven't even stepped through the door of Penacony yet; you are absolutely not a shareholder of Penacony."

Stelle: "Uh... isn't this... just a matter of... time?"

Stelle: "Oh no... the future has already been seen, am I really not going to be a shareholder of Penacony? (Anxious. pg)"

Jade: "Hehe, don't worry, even if just to ensure Miss Stelle isn't disappointed, the IPC will transfer shares to you after intervening in Penacony."

Topaz: "Mm, the Nameless deserve it; this is what you are owed."

Stelle: "Yay!! Thank you, Sister Jade!"

Sparkle: "Pfft... little gray-hair, you call her sister so sweetly~"

Sparkle: "Do you call anyone sister as long as they give you benefits?"

Stelle: "Director Sparkle, it seems you already know me very well."

Stelle: "Bring on the benefits; if the benefits are good enough, I can call you sister every day."

March 7th: "... telle, I'm begging you, keep some dignity!!"

The video continues.

After Himeko took the stage,

the negotiations ended quickly.

Afterward,

Topaz and Jade returned to the room

and began to review the situation.

【Old Odi has agreed, so this hurdle is passed, right?】

【Then the remaining few heads of families...】

Topaz stopped mid-sentence.

【They will also recognize the situation.】

【When he asked that last question, Old Odi was no longer representing just the Oak Family.】

Jade said with a smile.

【When would be a suitable time for the formal talks? I'll go arrange it.】

Topaz asked.

【It's all up to you.】

【You can handle the subsequent negotiations and handover work; I won't participate.】

Jade shook her head.

【Ms. Jade, this...】

Topaz heard Jade's words

and was somewhat surprised.

【This case was taken on by Aventurine in the first place, and you are his designated project partner.】

【If that child hadn't played too hard, I wouldn't have been pushed to the front.】

【I came today just to help you remove the thorn that was hardest to pull.】

【I believe you can bring this deal to a good end, little Yelena.】

Stelle: "Little Yelena, I believe in you too!"

March 7th: "Mm-hmm, little Yelena is the best!"

Topaz: "???"

Topaz: "You two... don't imitate Ms. Jade's tone!!"

Topaz: "It's giving me goosebumps!"

Paimon: "Ms. Jade is really gentle when she isn't showing her aura."

Paimon: "She gives people a very reliable sense of security!"

Lumine: "It feels like the matriarch of the IPC's Ten Stonehearts."

Lumine: "Speaking of which, the Ten Stonehearts are all so excellent."

Lumine: "Then what kind of person must Diamond, the supervisor of the Ten Stonehearts, be?"

Furina: "I'm curious too; he must be a quite majestic figure, right?"

Miss Qingque: "Since he's named after a diamond and is an Emanator of Preservation, there's no doubt!"

Miss Qingque: "He must be very tough!!"

Miss Qingque: "Perhaps even Miss Huang Quan would find it difficult to cut him?"

Stelle: "Miss Qingque, why do you make Diamond sound like a turtle?"

Stelle: "Who says an Emanator of Preservation must have high defense?"

Stelle: "Can't they have maxed-out attack power?"

Stelle: "Look at Qlipoth, who hammered the Swarm King half to death."

Stelle: "Does that look like Preservation at all?"

Miss Qingque: "Oh, you have a point there."

The video continues.

【Of course, there's definitely no problem.】

【Please rest assured, Diamond.】

Topaz nodded solemnly.

【Rest easy, Diamond has always trusted us.】

【I'll put in a good word for you; getting promoted back to P45 won't be a problem.】

【The Radiant Feldspar... what a fine ship.】

【Now that the business is done, I should attend to my own *little hobby*.】

Jade looked out at the scenery outside the window,

a smile appearing on her face.

【Do you want to open the Bonajade Exchange on this airship too?】

Topaz guessed Jade's intention.

【After all, such opportunities are rare.】

【Look at the guests on this ship; we can surely obtain many valuable treasures from them.】

【That's it then; a pawnshop can't open without a proprietress.】

【See you later, Topaz.】

March 7th: "Bonajade Exchange?"

March 7th: "What is that?"

Miss Qingque: "Judging by the name, it sounds like some kind of pawnshop?"

Hu Tao: "A pawnshop?"

Hu Tao: "Is it a pawnshop where you mortgage something valuable you own in exchange for money or other things?"

Jade: "Mm, you can understand it that way."

Jade: "However, my Bonajade Exchange has some differences."

Furina: "Ms. Jade's little hobby is actually running a pawnshop."

Furina: "Is it to collect precious~ good things?"

Jade: "That's right."

Jade: "The people on this airship are either rich or noble; since I'm here, I obviously have no reason to let go of such a good place."

Stelle: "Then the work afterward is all Topaz's."

Stelle: "It seems this is intentionally boosting Topaz's performance so she can return to P45!"

Topaz: "I'm very grateful for Ms. Jade's help!"

Jade: "There's no need for thanks between us."

Jade: "Even without this little help from me, with your ability, returning to P45 would be easy."

The video continues.

【Ms. Jade, I have one more question.】

Topaz stopped Jade, who was about to leave.

【Hm? Go ahead and ask.】

Jade stopped and said with a smile.

【That dose of poison—I'm curious, where did you get the information?】

Topaz asked curiously.

【It wasn't me who found the information; the information found me.】

【It came from... a girl who cares about the future of Harmony.】

【In exchange, I also have to help her complete a task, but that's a story for later.】

【It won't be too late to handle it after we leave Penacony.】

【You see, this is investment; the seeds of opportunity are buried in the soil, needing only a little nourishment to take root and sprout, and all we have to do is wait patiently.】

【Just like now, the last distinguished guest I've been waiting for... should also be boarding this ship.】

Paimon: "A girl who cares about Harmony??"

Paimon: "This is talking about... Miss Robin, right?"

Lumine: "It seems Miss Robin really did reach a deal with Ms. Jade!"

Lumine: "And judging by the results, it's excellent!"

Furina: "With everyone from the Express becoming shareholders of Penacony, Penacony will surely move forward steadily and get better and better!"

Stelle: "That's right, if Penacony goes off track again, I will fiercely exercise my rights as a shareholder!"

Silver Wolf: "You're right, but you only have one percent of the shares; I'm afraid your voice will still be weak in front of the Family."

Stelle: "Then don't blame me for fiercely pulling out my baseball bat to increase my say!"

Boothill: "Well said, if you can use your hands, use them; yapping more just wastes time."

Hu Tao: "Miss Robin's deal with Ms. Jade also requires Ms. Jade to complete one thing."

Hu Tao: "I guess... it's probably to save Mr. Sunday, right?"

Xiangling: "This doesn't even feel like a guess."

Xiangling: "I really can't think of anything else Miss Robin would care about."

March 7th: "The problem is, where is Mr. Sunday now?"

March 7th: "We can't even find a shadow of him."

Sparkle: "Hehehe, maybe the chicken-wing boy is already dead~"

Miss Qingque: "This is in a dream, how could he die so easily?"

Miss Qingque: "According to my analysis, he must have been locked up."

Miss Qingque: "After all, the Family is still waiting to put him on trial."

The video continues.

The scene shifts

to Firefly.

At this moment, Firefly has just boarded the Radiant Feldspar.

【The process of sneaking in was even easier than I thought; the Family's security is still as full of loopholes as ever.】

【So this is the Radiant Feldspar... it's so luxurious.】

Stelle: "Hahahahaha, Firefly's ruthless criticism is killing me."

Firefly: "Uh... I wasn't intentionally mocking the Family's security."

Firefly: "I was just stating facts..."

Silver Wolf: "Tsk, then you might as well have mocked them intentionally."

Silver Wolf: "That way you could have saved some face for the Family's security."

March 7th: "Seriously, the Family's security is like air."

March 7th: "Anyone slightly capable can't be stopped by it."

Aventurine: "I said before, this security is just to stop ordinary people."

Paimon: "Feels... feels not as good as the Millelith..."

Lumine: "Paimon, don't say that."

Lumine: "If it were us, it probably wouldn't be easy to sneak onto this Radiant Feldspar."

Furina: "I don't think the Family's security is that bad; it's just that the fake identity Silver Wolf made for Firefly was too good."

Firefly: "Mm-hmm, that's right."

Firefly: "This is the biggest guarantee that I can move around unimpeded!"

Stelle: "Got it, Silver Wolf is a universal pass!"

Stelle: "Reality or dream, she can go anywhere!"

Stelle: "So, where can I buy such a capable Silver Wolf?"

Silver Wolf: "Not for sale, not selling!"

The video continues.

【A pawnshop that can make wishes come true through mortgages—is there really such a place on this ship?】

【Whether the rumors are true or false, I can only go find out for myself.】

Guinaifen: "Eh? Firefly is aiming for the pawnshop... the Bonajade Exchange?"

Miss Sushang: "Can make wishes come true through mortgages?"

Miss Sushang: "This sounds like a scam..."

Miss Yunli: "Sounds like something a cursed sword would say."

Miss Yunli: "Cursed swords love using the condition of fulfilling wishes to bewitch people."

Amber: "Could this pawnshop run by Ms. Jade be a scam?"

Jade: "Hehe, how could that be?"

Jade: "I am honest and fair here."

Jade: "As long as the item you mortgage matches the value of the wish you want fulfilled, it will definitely be fulfilled."

Stelle: "I think Ms. Jade is fishing for my Firefly."

March 7th: "Ms. Jade said before she was waiting for the last distinguished guest."

March 7th: "Could she be referring to Firefly?"

Welt: "It seems Ms. Jade has some ideas about the Stellaron Hunters..."

The video continues.

After Firefly made up her mind,

she began to walk around the Radiant Feldspar

to look for the Bonajade Exchange.

【That is... Stelle?】

【She disappeared in an instant; so the Astral Express is here too.】

Firefly entered the banquet hall of the Radiant Feldspar,

and by the stairs here,

she saw Stelle running up the stairs,

disappearing quickly.

Miss Qingque: "Oh my, Stelle's legs are really nimble!"

Miss Qingque: "Running up the stairs like a hundred-meter sprint."

Silver Wolf: "Tsk tsk tsk, she's had her crisis resolved and is starting to run wild without restraint."

Paimon: "Hehe, you can tell Miss Stelle is very happy now."

Stelle: "Finally able to play properly without restraint, of course I'm happy!"

Stelle: "I wonder what fun things are on this Radiant Feldspar."
