Chapter 543

Amber: "Speaking of which, I thought the company only wanted to establish a presence in Nuokangni?"

Amber: "I thought the company's goal was to fully reclaim Nuokangni."

Topaz: "You can't swallow a giant fat man in one bite; everything must be approached gradually."

Topaz: "Our family has operated in Nuokangni for years; even two more Stone-Heart Ten would struggle to fully reclaim it."

Topaz: "So... why not first reach in, and deal with the rest later?"

Welt: "Hmm, it seems the company's goal has been clear from the start."

Welt: "In that case, perhaps Nuokangni will one day become a balance of power between our family and the company."

Topaz: "It need not be a two-sided balance."

Topaz: "Could it instead be a three-way mutual benefit?"

Topaz: "After all, you wouldn't want to see the Nuokangni you saved fall into decay again, would you?"

Himeko: "Oh?"

Himeko: "Hehe... I think I understand what Miss Topaz means."

The video continues.

Topaz and jade walked together,

into the conference room.

【Hohohohoho!】

【Two wise and beautiful ladies, welcome aboard my Sunstone!】

【Come, sit down, we must have a proper chat!】

As the two entered the conference room,

they heard Old Audina's booming laughter.

Paimon: "Huh???"

Paimon: "That's the head of the Clover Clan, Nuokangni's current big shot, Audifava?"

Paimon: "I didn't expect him to be just a short old man with a loud voice?"

Yunli: "Hmm... he looks about the same height as Grandpa."

Stelle: "Huh? Is General Huaiyan this short?"

Stelle: "Can someone this short even be a General?"

Huaiyan: "Hehe... young friend, you might have a misunderstanding about the title of General."

Huaiyan: "I am not a general skilled in battlefield combat; my height makes no difference."

Jing Yuan: "General Huaiyan is the Master of the Bureau of Crafting, a craftsman by origin."

Stelle: "Oh, I get it!"

Stelle: "He's a General who forges divine weapons!"

Stelle: "Wahhh, General Huaiyan, when I get the chance to step onto the Zhuming Xianzhou, you must give me a supreme sword!"

March 7th: "Hey, how can you even ask for that?"

March 7th: "General Huaiyan isn't even related to us—why should he give us anything?"

Huaiyan: "Hahaha, though we're not related, you are honored guests of the Xianzhoulian Alliance."

Huaiyan: "Giving a divine sword as a gift is not unreasonable."

Huaiyan: "But young friend, do you know swordplay?"

Huaiyan: "If you don't, even if this sword is divine-grade, in your hands it won't be more effective than your baseball bat."

Stelle: "Huh... isn't a sword just swing-swing-swing, stab-stab-stab?"

Stelle: "I have to train..."

Stelle: "Then I don't want the sword—General Huaiyan, give me a baseball bat instead!"

Stelle: "This thing swings so well—I'll use two at once and make the enemies scream like demons!"

Silver Wolf: "Tch, what kind of aesthetic is this?"

Silver Wolf: "Everyone else uses dual swords or dual blades—you're into dual bat style?"

Qingque: "Hey, don't laugh—it's possible Star could become the founding master of dual bat style!"

March 7th: "Come on, who in their right mind learns dual bat style?"

March 7th: "Dual sword style is way cooler, isn't it?"

Stelle: "What's cool got to do with it?"

Stelle: "What matters is making your enemies scream in pain!"

Feixiao: "Good! Well said!"

Feixiao: "I like the way you put that."

Feixiao: "The eighteen weapons? They're all just killing techniques."

Feixiao: "If you chase flashy moves, you've lost the point."

Stelle: "Oh, General Feixiao, you're truly a kindred spirit!"

Stelle: "Can you teach me some awesome bat techniques when you get the chance?"

Stelle: "Oh, by the way, I also want to learn spear techniques and hat techniques,"

Feixiao: "Easy—when you come to the Yaoqing Xianzhou, just come find me."

Feixiao: "But hat techniques... heh, I've never studied them—you'll have to wait till I buy a hat and practice."

Jiaoqiu: "......"

Jiaoqiu: "Is using a hat as a weapon really appropriate?"

Hearing Moze: "How can you know without trying?"

Hearing Moze: "Aren't you using a fan as a weapon too?"

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "A fan can fan flames and ignite fire—can it be like a hat?"

Hearing Moze: "I can use a hat to fan flames too."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "....."
