Chapter 407: I am the chairman, is this true?

Chapter 407 I am the chairman of the board, is this true?

"So what are you going to give in exchange for Shogo Keiki?"

The touching words that brought tears to Xi Yeming's eyes were not suitable for him, so he broke through the window paper and continued the topic of exchanging interests.

Seeing that this matter was unavoidable, Lu Zhangliao took up the topic.

"So what do you want? Money? Technology? Machinery? Or something else?"

"Forget about the money. You just lost the battle. It's not certain whether you can come up with the money."

"So you want technology or machinery?"

"Humph, people in the magic world never come into contact with technology. Even if they were to have technology and machinery, they would definitely be pretentious and think that magic is more useful."

Xi Yeming was also racking his brains over what bargaining chip he should use to exchange for Zheng Wu Jingmu.

Besides, Locke may not be happy to make a decision once it is made, and it will be a matter of bargaining again.

The main reason is that Locke Company's technology has exceeded Xi Yeming's imagination. A single staff member, Zheng Wu Jingmu, can actually copy his own light magic and has even created a portal to the two worlds.

Lu Zhangliao then suggested: "I have a bargaining chip for exchange, but I don't know if Desire Saint is interested."

"Ok?"

A piece of paper that looked like an agreement was handed to Xi Yeming, and the words on it made Xi Yeming lose his mind.

"What does this mean?"

A page of text was clearly printed in black and white on the paper, and the first sentence was "Xi Yeming will take over the position of chairman of the board."

Xi Yeming's reaction was obviously within Lu Zhangliao's expectations. He explained to the young man in front of him: "This is what the former chairman meant."

"Huh? What does Roxas mean?"

Lu Zhangliao took out an unopened letter from the bag of the clerk next to him and handed it to Xi Yeming.

"This was written by the former chairman before the attack on World Junction. He specifically left a request, saying that if we fail, he will entrust the position of chairman to you, and he also left this letter."

Xi Yeming opened the envelope in disbelief. When he took out the letter inside, he was completely stunned. It was a thick stack of paper filled with words.

“What are you doing…?”

Xi Yeming didn't have time to read the letter carefully, so he could only quickly glance over it.

The letter described the first time Roxas met Xi Yeming, when he felt an inexplicable concern for this unexpected boy.

After learning that Xi Yeming’s innate magic “did not exist”, Roxas almost thought it was a trick of fate.

He once wanted to threaten his brother with the child's life, and now he appeared before him, but deep in his heart there was always a force preventing him from doing so.

I have already lost, there is no need to involve future generations.

But I already have children. If they meet each other one day, how will my brother's children treat my own children?

During that time, Roxas kept avoiding this issue. He never even leaked the matter to outsiders. If the fledgling Xi Yeming became the target of public criticism, the future of the empire would be bleak.

He is a malleable talent.

Roxas acknowledged the fact that he was the leader of the team at such a young age and possessed a persistent patience that others did not have.

For the future of the empire, he cannot kill Xi Yeming, nor does he want to be his enemy.

In order to give his child a chance of survival, he had to find a way.

-

By the time you see this letter, I will probably no longer be alive. As an elder, my condolences are belated long enough.

I have a daughter who should still be alive in the magical world if nothing unexpected happens. A loser has no right to ask for anything, but I think you definitely need help. Nothing is more powerful than the Locke Company that I created.

Maybe it's because I'm unwilling to hand over the technological empire that I've spent more than ten years building to outsiders, and I also regard it as a contribution to your ascension to the throne.

I just hope you don't kill her. The hatred between me and my brothers should end here. Even if you make her a maid or a servant, as long as she is not involved in the fight for the throne, that is all I hope for.

I know very well that she cannot defeat you. I don't even know my daughter's name yet. Please don't let her get involved in this meaningless fight for the throne. I also pray that you don't use her as a stepping stone to ascend the throne.

-

Xi Yeming's mood suddenly fell to the lowest point. The so-called throne actually made that Roxas spend all his wealth just to barely keep his daughter.

What’s more important is yet to come. Xi Yeming discovered that it also wrote that Lucia’s mother was a tea picker.

"Wait, Lucia's mother isn't really Hannah Slammer?"

Then it is very likely that Lucia's biological mother was murdered, and the murderer is most likely Hannah.

Lu Zhangliao noticed Xi Yeming's hesitation and said, "It seems that you need time to digest this information. Locke Company will be waiting for your reply."

When the employees of Locke Company were picking up their bags and preparing to leave, Xi Yeming stopped them.

"Director Lu, does Locke still have any weapons that can negate magic?"

Lu Zhangliao answered: "After the previous battle, all the weapons were destroyed and can no longer be reproduced."

"So if I sign this agreement, what do I need to do?"

"Since you are in the magical world, all affairs will be handled by the board of directors, and all processes and documents will be assisted by a dedicated secretary."

"...Bring me a pen."

Within three questions, Xi Yeming signed the agreement. From then on, he had another identity - the chairman of Locke Company.

“Although I didn’t understand it for a long time, did the Holy Will of Desire do something amazing?”

Li Bo poked his head between Chongfeng and Teranza and asked.

Chong Feng replied, "It seems that our Sacred Will of Desire has gained a powerful helper."

Outside the window, Nangong Min listened to the whole story, and a beam of light flew out of the Soul Beast Binding Pot and turned into a carrier pigeon.

Nangong Min wrote the brief summary on a piece of paper, then tied it to the leg of a carrier pigeon and threw it out.

After hovering in the sky for a few circles, the carrier pigeon flew towards the capital to bring news to the emperor.

"what are you doing?"

Nangong Min turned around in surprise and found that the eldest princess's attendant, Xiyana, was staring at him.

"I……"

"Oh, you are delivering a message to the Emperor," Xiyana walked past Nangong Min nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter, everyone knows you are here to monitor us anyway."

Nangong Min had nothing to say, but she also had to dampen Xiyana's enthusiasm.

"You know we are the emperor's spies, how dare you be so presumptuous?"

Siana also folded what looked like letter paper into a paper crane and let it fly into the sky instead of the messenger bird.

"If I were to be murdered, the eldest princess and the prince would stand up for me. If you were to be murdered, would His Majesty the Emperor stand up for you?"

After saying this, Siyana returned to the house as if nothing had happened.
