The dinner party at Jörmungandr's house went surprisingly smoothly. Anyway, when it ended, the guests and hosts had a great time, and everyone seemed quite satisfied. Even Arthur, the boss, returned the little dragon snake to Dorothy before leaving.
He looked a bit reluctant to leave, wanting to look back three times.
In other words, the otaku witch felt like her body was being hollowed out. She really didn't like such occasions where there were too many people and she needed to socialize in various ways. The party was finally over, and she breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Everyone left the banquet hall and returned to the living room of the main house. Dorothy just lay down on the soft sofa. She didn't want to move a finger.
And seeing her daughter like this, Euphilia also found it a little funny.
"How was your conversation with Lady Victoria?"
At the banquet before, it was not convenient for Mother Long to ask too many questions. Now that the party was over, she finally found the opportunity to ask.
After hearing this, Sophilia and others who were also a little tired suddenly became energetic. After all, this was their main purpose of coming to the Dragon Kingdom.
However, in response, Dorothy just waved her hand, and then there were ten more boxes on the coffee table next to the sofa.
"Yeah, the conversation went very smoothly. I earned so much in just a few words."
Everyone: "......"
Long Ma silently stepped forward and opened the box casually, and suddenly golden light poured out from the box, illuminating everyone's eyes.
Wow, it’s the light of gold dollars.
"That's a lot of money."
Alice couldn't help but exclaimed.
Well, among everyone present, she and Dorothy were the only ones who grew up in a small city on the 18th tier and had never seen much of the world. Others didn't feel much about it.
Who is not a rich man?
Although 100 billion is indeed not a small amount, it is not too emotional for them.
Of course, no one would think that Dorothy would just give up with this little money. Everyone knew that it was impossible for a witch to give up.
"Does that mean there's nothing to talk about?"
Sophilia glanced at the space folding box filled with witch gold coins, and then asked.
"Well, the goddess of wealth said that everything has a price. If you want to free senior sister, you need to pay at least a price equivalent to about 30% of the total assets of Golden Township."
Dorothy shrugged and said so.
As soon as this statement came out, the entire audience fell silent.
Although most of them come from wealthy families, they may not care about a mere 100 billion, but 30% of the wealth in Golden Township is a bit unbearable.
The combined wealth of everyone present is estimated to be equivalent to 20% of the assets of Golden Township.
Oh, except for a certain Miss Witch of the Forest who still doesn't want to be named. After all, she is a rich woman with library points. She knows everything. She can add another 20% or so by herself.
Well, if you think about it this way, it seems to be enough, but obviously, neither the Aphrodite family, the Jormungandr family, nor the Dracula family can sacrifice their entire wealth for one person.
.
Besides, they are still just heirs, not the family leaders.
"Then young lady, do you want to take action?"
Madeline asked.
Miss Succubus is really a ruthless person and doesn't talk much. Seeing that the conversation fell apart, she thought that there might be no need to talk anymore.
Tribunal, activated.
Ms. Paladin Inquisitor, who had already raided the house of her boss twice, was already a little eager to give it a try.
When Alice heard this, her big red eyes lit up.
Inquisitor Bun is in place.
"You're going to do it. What reason are you going to use to do it? I haven't committed any crime."
Dorothy looked at the two guys who were eager to try and rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Co-author, you really think that the Tribunal is opened by me, and you can raid whoever's house you want. The two previous times were all based on the reputation of the teacher, so you can act, but the people of Jinjin Township are really good people.
What's the reason for your action? It can't be to investigate tax evasion, right?
Besides, do you two know that the Chief Judge of Annihilation is watching you? If you abuse your power, you will be caught by your superiors.
The house witch glanced at Dragon Mother beside her and thought to herself.
But at this glance, she was even more speechless, because Euphelia was also meditating at this time, seeming to be thinking about the feasibility of direct action.
Fortunately, in the end, Long Ma shook her head and stopped at the brink.
"The fish is too big to catch."
Euphilia said this with some regret.
Dorothy: "......"
No, my god, you have really thought about this seriously.
Audrey, the harmless little cutie in the audience, didn't understand what was going on. She just looked at her senior sister and asked in a low voice.
"Senior sister, what should we do next? I will try my best to help."
She clenched her little fists, looking like she was following the lead of her senior sister.
The little fox doesn't care about complicated things, she only cares about her senior sister.
In response, Dorothy reached out and rubbed the little junior sister's head. The furry touch made her feel a little better.
"Actually, things are not that bad. After all, Golden Township has given us a clear price, right? Since they want benefits, then give them benefits. Businessmen and the like are quite easy to deal with."
The otaku witch replied with a smile.
This is also the truth. She feels much more relaxed now. She is not afraid of people talking about money, but about relationships. Although she doesn’t have much money in her pocket now, the only balance she has is what senior Mia gave her last time.
of pocket money.
But it doesn't matter, now she is no longer the ordinary poor student she used to be. Anyway, the low-key days in the past are gone forever, so she simply doesn't pretend to be, and it doesn't hurt to be a little more high-profile.
"But sister, we have no money."
As soon as Dorothy said this, her good sister ruthlessly gave her a stab.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! On the side, Madeleine also looked at her with a caring look, a little worried that the young lady had been too stimulated, so she started
What nonsense.
In other words, the little fox is still blindly superstitious about her.
Well, senior sister is the best. Nothing in this world can trouble senior sister. Since senior sister says there is no problem, then there is no problem.
Audrey breathed a sigh of relief, she finally dared to continue wagging her tail.
Dorothy was speechless and gave Alice a blow.
"There is no money now, but there will be money in the future. You stupid sister, next I will let you know what a ruthless money-making machine is."
She decided not to get along with Alice and Madeleine, two armed barbarians who always liked to speak with their fists when they were in trouble.
She just pointed at the 100 billion gold dollars on the table and said.
"Next, I have a small goal, which is to acquire Golden Township. I currently have a start-up capital of 100 billion, and I still need a few angel partners. Does anyone want to join?"
And almost as soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the room raised their hands, even the senior student with the hat on her head raised her tentacles.
Well, not everyone, at least the ancestral necklace is still sleeping soundly, and the nose is soaked with snot.
Dorothy: "......"
No, I'm just blowing it off. Do you really believe it? Besides, Alice and Madeline, you two thought it was unrealistic just now. Why are you raising your hands so enthusiastically now?
This puts a little pressure on the whole otaku witch.
Fortunately, the real angel investor spoke up.
"Miss, which industry are you going to start in next?"
Sophilia has quickly entered assistant status, and she is always so reliable.
"Of course I started in the civil engineering industry. Our Witch House is a serious civil engineering association."
Dorothy answered immediately.
Pure White Witch: "......"
If you are strong and your fists are strong, can't this eldest lady have a decent career? I am thinking about your useless work every day.
Miss Angel Witch's eyes sharpened, and she decided to give this eldest lady another chance to reorganize her language.
Seeing the look in her housekeeper's eyes that wanted to kill someone, Dorothy also shrank her neck and sat upright.
"Ahem, industry. Only industry can prosper a country. Doesn't it start with the construction of factories? I'm not wrong."
She explained carefully.
Only then did Sophilia's expression improve. On the side, Mother Long's eyes lit up when she heard the word "industry." She thought of something.
"Dorothy, what field are you planning to enter?"
Just in case, Euphilia still spoke to confirm.
In response, Dorothy sighed.
"What kind of business can we do? Is there any other business in this Dragon Kingdom that can make money faster? Of course it's the military industry."
The otaku witch said helplessly.
If she could, she really didn't want to make quick money like this, but she had no choice. If she wanted to engage in a business war with Huang Jinxiang, a banker, the real estate industry that hadn't started yet was really not going to work, so she had to make some adjustments.
Well, military fortresses, witch battleships, and so on are all civil engineering projects, so building them is not construction? There is nothing wrong with that.
"Okay, okay, look at which piece of land you like, and it's okay to have it."
When Dragon Mother heard this, she was immediately overjoyed. She took out a map of the Glory Territory and was already preparing to enclose the land for her daughter's future alchemy workshop.
When she found out that her daughter had the talent to become a shipbuilder, she thought that she would let her develop in this field when she came back. Originally, she was still thinking about how to persuade this daughter who was not doing her job properly, but she never expected that her daughter would actually do it herself now.
The prodigal son has returned.
Great.
Dorothy took the map and looked at it, then she was speechless.
Damn it, you have been thinking about opening a factory for a long time.
She looked at the pieces of land marked with red circles on the map and found that her mother had indeed a good eye, and those pieces of land were all quite good.
"Then take them all."
Seeing that Mother Long wanted to give it all to her, Dorothy didn't know what to choose. She just waved her hand and decided.
As a result, Euphilia's smile became even brighter.
The Dragon Queen knows that her Jormungandr clan will rise again today.
...........
On the other side, the Golden Township Castle of the Earth Line.
Mia was still lying by the window, looking out of the window at the same extravagant scene as always.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
She said lazily.
Then, the door opened and the elegant lady walked in.
"Good evening, Mother."
The Golden Princess greeted her mother warmly, as if she was not under house arrest.
In fact, she is not angry with her mother. She understands her mother's position very well. If it were her, she would probably make a similar choice.
Well, this is the nature of a businessman.
This time, it was indeed her fault that she had betrayed her nature as a businessman. She really couldn't blame her mother for this.
"I went to the Jormungandr family banquet today."
Victoria came to her daughter's bed and sat down. The mother and daughter looked at each other for a while, and then she spoke.
"Jörmungandr? The little fairy is indeed here."
Mia suddenly smiled and hugged the pillow in her arms tightly.
She was not surprised by this result. After all, she had expected that her little fairy would come over. However, when she heard the news, she still couldn't help but feel happy.
This is a much happier time than when she made 100 billion when she first started doing business as a child.
"Yeah, she's back. That girl Euphilia excitedly took the little guy and showed off around the entire Kingdom of Dragons. It's hard not to know."
Victoria nodded and admitted.
"Then what does Mother think of her?"
Mia looked at her mother beside her with some expectancy. She really wanted to hear her mother's opinion.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing the expectation in her daughter's eyes, Victoria was also a little dazed.
Mother and daughter haven't had such a close conversation in many years.
She was old enough to have a girl. After all, the cost of giving birth to a witch is quite high, and her potential will be affected if she is not careful. Therefore, she delayed giving birth to her daughter Mia until she had stabilized her sage realm.
Therefore, she doted on her daughter in every possible way, always regarded her as the apple of her eye, and had high hopes for her. Her subsequent education was inevitably a little stricter.
Fortunately, my daughter is really up to her standards and has shown extraordinary talent since she was a child, which overwhelms the other heirs of Golden Land.
However, overly strict education inevitably leads to the alienation of mother and daughter. In my memory, the last time the two of them sat quietly by the bed and chatted like this was when the child was two or three years old and pestered me to tell her stories.
Time flies so fast, that little daughter has grown so big in the blink of an eye.
The Golden Sage also felt a little complicated for a while, but she did not let her daughter's expectations be disappointed, but truthfully expressed her views.
"Mia, you are indeed my good daughter. Your vision is far better than mine. You are an incredible child."
Victoria said so.
She recalled the calm and proud look in the young lady's eyes before she left, and nodded with satisfaction.
"No wonder Euphelia's cold and naive person likes to chat with people from time to time about her experience in raising children. It is really worth having such an outstanding daughter."
And after hearing her mother's comments, the Golden Princess's smile became even brighter.
That's great. Mother also likes little fairies.
"But the better she is, the less I will allow things to happen between you. I gave her the 100 billion you earned when you were a child, and she accepted it, but I know that proud little guy will not give up.
Yes, she will probably give me a big surprise in the near future, right?"
Seeing the bright smile on her daughter's face, Victoria shook her head helplessly, and then said this with some distress.
"Forget it, let's see how far that little guy can go. If she is really capable of forcing everyone in Huangjinxiang to bow to her, then she is powerful. Let her take you away then."
"I do not want it."
But at this time, Mia spoke.
Victoria looked at her daughter in astonishment, a little surprised that she would object.
"Mother, I am not the kind of princess who will obediently become a princess who will be rewarded as a prize after a brave man defeats the dragon. I will find a way to leave the dragon's nest on my own."
The Golden Princess stood up from the window, came to the bed, looked down at her mother sitting on the bed, and then spoke.
