But unexpectedly, Xie Lidan Xiandi came to the office at this moment.
When the business of the gym was doing extremely well, she didn't forget to pay attention to Mike.
Seeing Mike run back to the office while there were many people, she was a little disappointed. She specially called Mike here today so that he can be a witness to her management skills, but he didn't say anything after seeing it. Mike actually hid!
Thus, Xie Lidan Xiandi went straight to the office. She had to hear Mike praise her today!
"Knock! Knock!"
She knocked hard on the office door to express her anger.
Mike happened to turn off the system. Hearing the knock on the door, he immediately assumed that it was the lady. So, he raised his hand and lowered his head to pinch the space between his eyebrows. He said rather helplessly, "Please come in!"
Mike had experienced how intensive this lady named Xie Lidan Xiandi was these past few days. On the first day, she woke up early and said that as the master, he had to watch the servants work, so, she woke him up from home. She actually did the same thing the next day and the third day.
Moreover, this lady woke up on time. Mike couldn't even slack off even if he wanted to. He complained in his heart, 'This is the first time I've seen such a dedicated employee in the world.'
However, what Mike didn't know was that although Xie Lidan Xiandi said that she would wake him up every day to watch over the employees, she actually wanted to see him every day.
Hence, Xie Lidan Xiandi came to the office and crossed her arms as she looked at Mike. The first thing she said was, "Hmph, have you seen what I did for the shop?"
What she meant was, didn't he want to praise her?
Mike smiled. After spending so much time together, he had little understanding of this lady's personality. He knew that she came here to take credit.
So, he played along with Xie Lidan Xiandi and clapped.
"Amazing, amazing. As expected of Miss Xie Lidan Xiandi."
When Xie Lidan Xiandi heard this, her initial angry face immediately blushed. Mike was obviously teasing her!
But all of this was what she wanted. Mike had indeed praised her, so Xie Lidan Xiandi couldn't reply even if she wanted to. She turned her head, snorted, and immediately ran away.
"Hmph, just you wait!"
Thus, in the past days, this pair of young people were so happy to get along, and the business of the gym was still doing very well.
At the same time, President Edmund Lev, who was far away in the Alexander Empire, received the letter from Monroe's men.
Edmund Lev, who was busy with his work, was writing with a quill.
When he suddenly heard a knock on the door, he looked up and saw that he was a servant of his Chamber of Commerce. He could not help but stop what he was doing and put the quill back into the ink bottle. He crossed his hands in front of the table and said in a deep voice, "What is it?"
President Edmund Lev guessed that it would take at least seven or eight days to cross thousands of mountains and rivers to arrive at the Alexander Empire. He did not know what happened to the Chamber of Commerce after he left. When he remembered that he had to leave immediately because of a sudden incident, Edmund Lev regretted instantly leaving. If he had known earlier, he would have left after settling all the major and minor matters of the Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, if something happened to the Chamber of Commerce, it would be too late for him to fix it.
Seeing that the servant was in a hurry, Edmund Lev understood that trouble would come looking for him.
The servant who was dressed in Chamber of Commerce uniform immediately knelt on one knee and bowed. He handed over the bundle with the letter on his waist and said, "Reporting to the President, Lord Monroe has sent me here to deliver a letter. Please read it, President!"
Edmund Lev was puzzled when he heard the servant's words.
Monroe?
Didn't he send him to deal with that batch of amethyst crystals? Could it be that he had already found a seller and was prepared to tell him the good news?
But there was no need to rush the delivery of the letter.
Edmund Lev, who was puzzled, opened the package and saw the envelope with the seal of the Magic Chamber of Commerce affixed there completely.
The seal was intact, and it could be seen that it was not damaged by anyone. The seal of the Magic Chamber of Commerce could only be owned by someone who could enter his office. Edmund Lev nodded when he saw it. It was indeed written by Monroe, because, besides his daughter, only Monroe, who was a butler, would be allowed to enter the manor.
So, Edmund Lev began to be curious about what was inside.
He tore open the envelope and slowly read it.
But after reading what was written, his anger almost caused him death. The letter read:
"Dear President, I hope you can forgive me after reading this letter. A few days ago, I went to look for an alchemist, but it was futile. So, I decided to find an old viscount named Mike, whom I was familiar with. But I have learned that he opened a magical shop called the gym. I wanted to find you to report about it, but you were not here in the country. Your daughter, Miss Xiandi, learned about this, so, she went to the gym to check."
"But, I never thought that this damned Mike would dare to abduct your beloved daughter. I tried to rescue the young lady but to no avail. Please forgive me for my unintentional mistake, President."
Edmund Lev read the letter while controlling his anger. He heavily crumpled the parchment, especially on the part when he read the sentence, "He dared to abduct the young lady!"
Edmund Lev felt like his lungs were about to explode!
At the end of the letter, Edmund Lev jumped up and stood on the table, raising his head and shouting,
"My precious daughter!"
President Edmund Lev only had one child, Xiandi. It could be said that he adored her so much. He taught her all the skills in business management, intending to nurture her as his heir. He was afraid that she would go astray if he was too strict on her, and she would go weak if he was too easy on her. But now, Monroe was telling him that his precious daughter, whom he had raised for more than 20 years, had been abducted by a wild boy from an unknown background!
How could he not be angry? Edmund Lev's eyes were filled with tears as he held the rough parchment. His eyes were fixed on the name Mike on the parchment. He was so angry that he could not even speak clearly.
"My!!! My precious daughter!!! She was abducted!!! Whoever this fellow is, or what viscount he is! I'm going to skin him alive!"
After saying that, Edmund Lev could not wait any longer. No matter how busy the Alexander Empire business was, he had to rush back immediately!
Thus, he directly tore up the letter which made him furious. After he was done with his work, he called his men and immediately rushed to Danafu City-State.
When the ambassador of the Alexander Empire saw that Edmund Lev was about to leave, he wanted to persuade him to stay.
"Edmund Lev, what is it? Why are you in such a hurry? Let's sit down and talk about it calmly."
Unexpectedly, Edmund Lev jumped onto his horse and said, "It's urgent. I have no choice but to go back. I'll visit you another day, my old friend!"
Then, he left with a cloud of dust in the air.
