Chapter 1256

Pero Qiqiya once again woke in a nightmare, dreaming over and over of that assassination—reaching out to push her sister Ayana aside—but every time she faced only the moment of waking, her tears already soaking the armrest pillow.

Her slightly reddened eyes, her resolute gaze, the words Lin Cheng had spoken last night rang once more in Qiqiya's ears, and her fists unconsciously clenched again.

He would take the championship!

"— 'I will fulfill your last wish, Ayana.'"

The plan of a day lies in the morning; Qiqiya lit the oil lamp, took out her magic recorder, and began studying inscriptions while continuously practicing on paper.

Time flew by, and soon it was early morning. Lin Cheng finished breakfast, then went to check on the shop's renovation progress—it was already past halfway, so in a few days it should be completely done. Once that was done, he'd let the system do the fine finishing, and the shop should be able to open for business.

Pero Qi (Zhao Qianhao) Qiya had originally planned to go to the Zaoshigong Society with Lin Cheng, but by the time he came downstairs, Lin Cheng had already left for the Society first, and he was intercepted by two martial artists wearing silver masks.

His personal guard immediately stepped in front of Pero Qiqiya, but he knew his own guard was hardly worth mentioning compared to the two before them.

"Stand down—you are no match for them, Gang."

Pero Qiqiya faced the two masked martial artists directly.

"Something you need?" one of the masked martial artists said, decisively extending an inviting hand.

"His Highness the Prince from the Kingdom of Chilperri, our Young Master requests your presence!"

The other masked martial artist made the same inviting gesture.
