Chapter 1788 Kailan’s Dilemma

After the meal, Boss Lane arranged for everyone to rest. I leaned on the sofa and quietly looked at the window on the right.

Through the window made of crystal, my eyes fell on a bluestone clearing. In the center of the clearing, there was a slightly darker color. It was the battlefield that had just been cleaned. The dark place was soaked in blood.

Opposite me, Daphne sat there quietly, her slightly thin body sunk into the soft sofa, like a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes. The transparent round lenses could not hide her curious eyes. At this moment , she was staring at me unblinkingly.

I chuckled, stretched out my hand and handed her a clean mint leaf, took another one and threw it into my mouth, chewing it carefully while chatting: "What are you looking at?"

Daphne pursed her lips, took the mint leaves, put them into her mouth in a pattern, and said vaguely: "Look at you. Hmm, it's so spicy."

Looking at her frowning look, I couldn't help but smile and handed her another piece. Daphne quickly waved her hand to refuse. I thought about it, got up and picked up a container similar to a spittoon and handed it to her. She still waved her hand and refused. After a lot of effort, I finally swallowed all the mint leaves in my mouth.

She exhaled with relief, then took a breath, and was about to speak, but suddenly stopped, her brows filled with surprise.

I smiled and asked, "Do you feel a lot more refreshed?"

She came to her senses and nodded repeatedly.

"Mint leaves are like this. When you chew them, they taste very strong, but after you chew them and breathe in, you will have a refreshing feeling that you have never experienced before." I said, took out a mint leaf and threw it into my mouth. He handed another piece to Daphne. This time, she did not refuse. She took the leaf obediently and chewed it slowly.

"I'm sorry about what happened in your store, and I can see that your father has a lot of opinions about it, but if you think about it carefully, isn't this an opportunity?"

Daphne said nothing and continued to chew the leaves quietly.

"The Zephyr Continent is very big, but Airui City is very small. Lijie City is even smaller. Looking down from the sky that is tens of thousands of feet high, Lijie City is not as big as a palm. If you choose to settle in a corner in that kind of place, you will lose a lot of appreciation of the mountains and rivers. The mainland is full of strange opportunities."

Daphne was still deep in thought.

"The Carter family will not give you a chance to develop. Just like the previous president, he only knows how to ask for and possess. When have you thought about your life or death?"

Sighing softly, I continued: "I know that because of my fault, your family's ancestral property was destroyed, and you are not comfortable, but the ancestral property is just the inheritance saved by the ancestors. It's okay if you and your father can manage it well. , but can you guarantee that your descendants will be able to properly manage the inheritance of your ancestors like you?"

Daphne shook her head.

"In order to avoid this kind of tragedy from happening, and as compensation for you and your daughter, I plan to take you away, leave this little place that doesn't see the light of day, go to Darcy City, go to Moonlight City, go to Fort Vicky, as long as If you have the ability, I can help you open material shops throughout the Zephyr Continent. In this way, you no longer need to worry about the future of the material shops, unless there are several generations of prodigal sons among your descendants in the future. , with the assets of your store, you can always find a place to turn around."

Daphne pursed her lips and slowly lowered her eyes.

"Don't worry, I won't break my promise." As I said that, I stuffed another mint leaf into my mouth, turned my eyes to the window again, and stared at the bluestone open space in a daze.

"I didn't doubt you." Daphne's voice was as thin as a mosquito buzzing: "It's just that the home I've lived in for so long is gone, and I feel uncomfortable."

"I can understand." I nodded and said, "That's not the case for me. At first, I was a wandering adventurer in Airey City, living in my fiancée's house. Later, I had a conflict with the second young master of the Carter family. As a last resort, my family moved to Moonlight City, and then I came back. Unfortunately, things had changed, and the house was still the same, but it had become the base of a group of rogue adventurers. I was very angry at the time, and drew my sword angrily. As for killing them, I was very naive at the time, thinking that if I killed them, my house would be preserved. Unfortunately, a fire ensued and turned everything into powder. To this day, I am afraid that even the ruins have been destroyed. Is the corrosion caused by rain gone?"

I was lamenting the past, when suddenly I felt my upper arm being wrapped in a soft ball. From the corner of my eye, I saw Daphne's little hand gently covering it.

"Thank you" I said.

Then, I took a deep breath and continued: "Airui City is the Carter family's Airui City. It does not belong to anyone else, nor is it passed down by any ancestor. If necessary, the Carter family can drive any family out of Airui City. They openly took their land as their own. Therefore, in my opinion, there is nothing to be sad about when the land is lost, because those lands did not belong to us in the first place. As long as people are still there, one day they will be Let’s take back what belongs to us.”

Daphne nodded with deep understanding.

After barely untying Daphne's knot, I talked with her for a long time, mainly about matters related to the material shop, her future wishes, and Kailan's equipment enhancement machine.

Daphne said the first two points very naturally. When it came to the equipment enhancement machine, it was a little difficult for her to speak, but even if she did speak, her expression was very cryptic.

But from what she said, I vaguely read a lot of content.

First of all, Kailan's equipment enhancement machine is actually not stable. There are often cases where the equipment enhancement machine destroys the equipment. If the equipment is destroyed, she has to lose money. Some ordinary equipment is okay, but once it involves some expensive equipment Kailan was also confused about the luxury goods.

It is said that her ancestors did not have much leftover property, and even if they did, it was completely ruined by her failure to strengthen in recent years.

Now, she lives on borrowed money.

In fact, it is not a bad idea to borrow money to live. As long as you find a similar industry, you can still make ends meet and pay off the debt at the same time.

Regarding this point, Daphne has persuaded Kailan more than once. Unfortunately, Kailan was obsessed with the invention of his ancestor Kelly, and he only wanted to develop the equipment enhancement machine and use it as the mainstay.

After learning about Kailan's thoughts, those who originally lent her money were no longer willing to lend her money. Many of them even solemnly stated that as long as Kailan stopped lending money to them, they would not be able to lend her money before. They didn't want any of the money, and used it as funds for Kailan.

So far, the only family still willing to lend money to Kailan is the Mavro family.

Just now, Kailan was thinking about borrowing more debt from Daphne, buying some parts, and improving the equipment enhancement machine, but he heard a noise from her shop, so he took a weapon and followed her. A series of things happened after that.
