Chapter 23 I Don't Have a Boyfriend

The next morning, Lyon and Chartia sat by the window and enjoyed the special breakfast prepared by Lin Jing for them.

Lin Jing’s breakfast does not have milk, but instead uses a plant tea, which tastes slightly astringent and sour. Chartya doesn’t like it but unexpectedly matches Lyon’s appetite.

The exclusive forest egg roll made with the fruits of bread, the small pancake rolls made of pineapple, paired with the sauce made of jump mushrooms, is simply delicious. The nut porridge has also won the praise of Chartya for its unique taste.

"It has some almond dew smell, but this is the first time I drink this porridge that needs to be chewed."

However, what Chartia was a little dissatisfied with was that there was no meat food for this breakfast, and there was no animal protein and fat to reward her taste buds, so she always felt that she couldn't help but feel that she couldn't help her.

"Sir, this is your order." A Kobayashi Jin ran over and placed a plate in front of Lyon. The plate was like jelly, milky white and opaque, and smelled very fragrant.

"What is this?", smelling like meat, Chatia raised her fork to grab a piece to taste it.

"This is a traditional food of braised snail meat, Lin Jing, and the taste is good." As Lyon's answer, Chartia slowly retracted the fork, sat back on her seat and sucked the nut porridge in the bowl without saying a word.

"Do you want to have a piece? The taste is very similar to that of a beef."

"reject!"

"Oh." Lyon seemed a little disappointed and ate the last piece of braised snail.

"Give me some grilled bacon." Chartia called out to Kobayashi and ordered a relatively normal dish.

After breakfast, Lyon took Chartia to the merchant guild.

"I'll talk to the person in charge of Birds of Paradise. You'll find out if there are any merchants with this emblem here. Also, don't fight. If something happens, pretend to be a weak girl and call someone." Lyon put a piece of paper with the insignia of gold coins and wine bottles into Chartia. "If you have to fight, be sure to use some gentle weapons."

"Oh." I heard that I was not allowed to fight, Chatia was a little indifferent.

When he went out with Lyon, Chatia's favorite thing was to stay in the place where adventurers and mercenaries gathered, waiting for some stupid guy with no eyes to regurgitate her, or they fought on their own, so that Chatia could fight as much as possible without any fault. Lyon of course saw her idea and suppressed it back.

As soon as Lyon walked to the door of the Birds of Paradise Chamber of Commerce, he was welcomed to the office by the person in charge who had been waiting for a long time.

After drinking the black tea handed over by the secretary, Lyon began to ask him about the issues he asked the Chamber of Commerce to investigate yesterday.

"The information has been sorted out." The person in charge handed a few pieces of paper to Lyon. "The small chamber of commerce is called Aizot, and its predecessor was a small caravan named Fengcheng. Fengcheng mainly makes money through grain trade. Of course, you know that unless the grain trade volume is huge and has news channels that are one step faster than others, the profit is not high. Therefore, Fengcheng was acquired by a mysterious person half a year ago." The person in charge of the chamber of commerce introduced.

"Then they gave up the connections accumulated by the Harvest Caravan and all order contracts and started the precious metal gems and liquor business?" Lyon pointed to the report and asked.

"Yes, after changing its name to Ezot, Fengcheng left their original entrenchment and began to move the business southward, and came to Toto City a few months ago."

"How is their business? What is the profitability? You don't mention these in this report." Lyon asked the person in charge and signaled the secretary to give another cup of black tea.

The person in charge: "This is also something that makes me confused, so I didn't write it in the report. Last night, we looked through the transaction records and found that Azot had only had a small piece of copper ore transaction with us. And after I asked the heads of several other big chambers of commerce this morning, they even had no impression of Azot's chamber of commerce."

"Didn't you say they are in precious metal gems and wine business?" Lyon asked, pointing to the information on the report.

“That’s just the information they registered in the trading hall.”

"So what you mean is that Ezot hasn't done a business since he came to Toto City?"

"Just like us big chambers of commerce, other small vendors did not conduct investigations because it was already night when you asked us to investigate. If you need it, I can send someone to inquire now."

"Ah, no need. Have any of you ever received this gift from the Azot Chamber of Commerce? This matter is very important."

"Ah, my secretary checked the warehouse records last night and found that they had indeed given us gifts. Just when they first arrived in Toto City, but due to regulations, I asked my employees to throw them directly into the warehouse. I'll take them for you now." The person in charge raised his hand and signaled to the secretary to take the box.

"Have you opened it and read it?"

"No, I don't think a small chamber of commerce can bring out what our bird of paradise doesn't have."

After a while, the secretary returned to the office with a big box. "It's so heavy." The secretary girl complained.

After opening the box, the three of them looked at the things in the box and were silent for a while.

Lyon: "What do you think of Mr. In charge?"

The person in charge: "I think this thing appears here to damage our image as a bird of paradise, so why not throw it away."

Secretary: "The ugly and heavy thing must be the work of a fat man with acne-filled face."

The secretary's wife's unexpectedly sarcastic tongue.

It is a large vase with three huge rubies inlaid on it, and the bottle is carved with the pattern of peony flowers. Its only value is that it can be transformed into many gold coins after melting, but the most important thing Bird of Paradise is gold coins.

"The aesthetics of these people are beyond salvation." Lyon smiled bitterly, "You back a little bit and I'll see if this vase is as dangerous as those other gifts of Azot."

Lyon took out the small bottle containing silver-white powder and poured the silver-white powder in front of the bottle.

There was no reaction, but just as Lyon was about to pour a little more, the bottle moved and a scorpion-like thing crawled out.

The golden disc body has no eyes, four pairs of abdomen support the body, and behind the body is a scorpion tail. However, this thing looks slow to move, far less energetic than Shana's necklace.

The secretary shouted and took a step back.

Lyon carefully grabbed the tail of the thing, shook it, and then the gadget died. It was not very accurate to say that it was dead. This thing should have completely lost its vitality.

"It's very fun." Lyon grabbed its tail and started to take turns in his hand.

"Master, sir! Please don't do this, I, I...I'm scared." The secretary was about to cry.

"Ah, sorry." However, Lyon's expression was not a sincere apology.

"That..." Just as Lyon was about to say something to the person in charge, a cry for help came from outside that lacked feelings.

"Save life-a-a-a-a-a-blaming-a-girl-girl-girl-girl-girl-girl-girl-girl-girl-girl-girl-girl-girl-girl-girl-girl-girl-girl-girl-girl-girl-girl-girl-girl-girl-girl-gir

Lyon sighed, "I'll go out and take a look, my students seem to be in trouble."

"I'll go out with you to have a look."

"Um."

After leaving the room, the person in charge turned around and looked at the secretary in confusion, "What are you doing with me?"

"Please don't put me and that vase in the same room. I don't want to. I haven't had a boyfriend yet, Dad!" the secretary pleaded with the hand of the person in charge.

Lyon: "This..."

The person in charge: "She is my daughter. She has been afraid of these things since she was a child, which makes you laugh."

Lyon smiled awkward and polite.
