Chapter 563

Silver Wolf: "Now is, fantasy time!"

Silver Wolf: "I say, you should wake up."

Silver Wolf: "The one that got Penacony shares is the Astral Express in the video, not the Astral Express right now."

Silver Wolf: "Wake up, you haven't even set foot through Penacony's door yet, you're not a Penacony shareholder at all."

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

Stelle: "Oh no... the future's already been watched, am I really not going to make it as a Penacony shareholder? (nervous. jpg)"

Jade: "Hehe, don't worry, even if it's just to keep Miss Stelle from being disappointed, once the company steps into Penacony, we'll transfer shares to you."

Topaz: "Mm, the Nameless deserve it, this is what you should get."

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

Sparkle: "Pfft... little gray-hair, you sure call her 'sis' sweetly~"

Sparkle: "Does anyone who gives you benefits get called 'sis' by you?"

Stelle: "Director Hua, looks like you already know me pretty well."

Stelle: "Bring on the benefits, once the benefits are in place, I can call you 'sis' every day too."

March 7th: "... Stelle, I'm begging you, leave yourself some dignity!!"

The video continues.

After Himeko took the stage,

the negotiations ended very quickly.

Afterwards,

Topaz and Jade returned to the room,

and began their debrief.

【Old Oti agreed, so this hurdle counts as passed, right?】

【Then the remaining family heads....】

Topaz hesitated, wanting to say more.

【They'll see the situation clearly too.】

【When the last question was asked, what Old Oti represented was no longer just the Alfalfa family line.】

Jade said with a smile.

【When would be a good time to schedule the formal talks? I'll arrange it.】

Topaz asked.

【It's all up to you.】

【Leave the upcoming negotiations and handover work to you, I won't be involved.】

Jade said, shaking her head.

【Ms. Jade, this...】

Topaz, hearing Jade's words,

was somewhat surprised.

【This case was originally taken on by Aventurine, and you're the project partner he designated.】

【If that kid hadn't played too recklessly, I wouldn't have been pushed to the front stage.】

【I came today just to help you pull out the toughest nail.】

【I believe you can wrap this case up nicely, little Ye Linna.】

Stelle: "Little Ye Linna, I believe in you too!"

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

Topaz: "???"

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

Topaz: "You're giving me goosebumps!"

Paimon: "When Ms. Jade doesn't show her aura, she's really very gentle."

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

Lumine: "She has the feel of a head of the Ten Stonehearts."

Lumine: "Speaking of which, the Ten Stonehearts are already this outstanding."

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

Furina: "I'm curious too, must be a rather awe-inspiring existence, right?"

Miss Qingque: "Since he's named after Diamond and is a Preservation Emanator, no doubt about it!"

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

Miss Qingque: "Maybe even Miss Huang Quan would have a hard time cutting him down?"

Stelle: "Qingque, why does Diamond sound like a turtle coming out of your mouth?"

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

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

Stelle: "Look, Qlippe whacked the Worm King half-dead with one hammer."

Stelle: "Where does that look like Preservation at all?"

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

The video continues.

【Of course, no problem at all.】

【Don't worry, Diamond.】

Topaz nodded solemnly.

【Rest assured, 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 Sunstone... what a fine ship she is.】

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

Jade took a glance at the scenery outside the window,

a faint smile crossing her face.

【You want to open a branch of the Jade Pawnshop here on this skyship too?】

Topaz guessed what Jade was thinking.

【After all, an opportunity like this doesn't come often.】

【Just look at the guests aboard — we're sure to get plenty of valuable treasures from them.】

【That's that, then. A pawnshop can't open for business without its proprietress around.】

【See you later, Topaz.】
