After Andre turned around and slipped away in shame, the matter came to an end. Although everyone did not think that the young man had really read it wrong, they were not fools. Naturally, they understood that the lady in front of him was not easy to mess with. After leaving the backer, the people of the Howard Chamber of Commerce quickly slipped away. Without the support of anyone, they could not continue to stay here. Of course, for these two chambers of commerce, the matter was far from over. In any case, Fiat's mine was the only support of their two chambers of commerce, so no matter what, they still had to come up with a solution to deal with the current troublesome situation.

However, for Rhodes, his mission has ended here. No matter how hard Fiat goes, it has nothing to do with him, let alone Rhodes is more concerned about the issue of Parfield's northern defense line. After completing these two tasks, Rhodes has followed the clues to find some clues about Lydia's plan. He knows what Lydia wants to do, and if everything goes well, he might have a chance to play his favorite game again...

It is also because of this that early the next morning, Rhode packed up his salute and left the chamber of commerce with Celia and Celestina. Of course, they did not forget to say hello to the current temporary agent of the chamber of commerce before leaving.

"Why?"

The teacup in Emily's hand fell on the table with a "pop", and the hot black tea rolled out of the teacup, soaking the solid wooden tabletop and the paper scattered therein. However, Emily didn't care about this at all. She just stared at the "Miss Sailun" in front of her, stunned and didn't know what to say.

"Miss Sailun, you said you were leaving here?"

"Yes, Miss Emily."

Rod showed an apology smile. He nodded to Emily before speaking.

"Although I am very sorry for my actions that have caused a lot of trouble to the Chamber of Commerce and even caused you to lose your father. Unfortunately, I am a businessman after all. This time I went to the Chamber of Commerce and originally planned to negotiate ore transactions, but judging from the current situation, the situation in the Fiat area seems to be much more complicated than what our Chamber of Commerce imagined. There is such a thing in the mine. I think it is impossible to resume production in a short time. So, it is meaningless for me to stay here, so I plan to say goodbye and prepare to leave. Miss Emily."

"But...but..."

Faced with Rhode's words, Emily was in a hurry and stuttered, as if she didn't even know what she should say. To be honest, "Miss Sailun"'s farewell was not surprising. But for Emily, she could not accept such a fact for a while. Although she had only known this lady for only two days, Emily felt that she and she had fallen out of the same place at first sight, as if she had been together for a long time. Now that my father had such a thing happened, she still had to continue to be responsible.

The business of the entire chamber of commerce adjusts the interests of those merchants and is busy with their complaints and quarrels. Sometimes Emily really feels in pain. Isn’t she the saddest person? She is the one who lost her father! But those merchants don’t seem to care about her at all. They just quarreled for their own interests. For the first time, Emily felt that these people were so cold-blooded and ruthless. She hoped that someone could be with her, comfort her, and care about her. Let her rely on it—this is also Emily’s only expectation at present.

However, after learning that "Miss Sailun" was leaving, Emily felt that the floor under her feet seemed to be pulled away by someone, and she fell into the endless void with a loss.

"Miss Sailun, can you stay for a few more days? I……………”

"I think it's better not to disturb you. Miss Emily, the Chamber of Commerce is in an extraordinary period now, and there are many periods that need to be dealt with and resolved. As an outsider, it's really hard for me to stay here. This is not good for the Chamber of Commerce, and... I didn't expect that there would be such a cruel thug in Fiat. Miss Emily, please be careful about the Howard Chamber of Commerce. Their conspiracy did not succeed this time. I think they might continue to attack you."

Speaking of this, Rhode walked forward, smiled and stretched out his right hand, gently stroked Emily's cheek.

"I'm glad to know you, Miss Emily. It's not easy to meet a trustworthy friend in a foreign country. I will remember you."

After saying this, Rhodes took two steps back, lifted up the hem of his skirt and bowed.

"So goodbye, Miss Emily, I hope you can achieve your dream as soon as possible."

The sound of closing the door sounded.

Emily looked at the closed door in front of her and was silent for a long time. Finally, she gritted her teeth suddenly, as if she had made a decision, turned around and walked to the bookshelf, then pulled out a book from it and spread it out. Then she picked up the quill next to her, and began to write something on it trembling and hard.........

"Is this really good? Master?"

Walking into the carriage, Celestina's eyes fluttered and she looked at Rhode with a sarcastic smile. When facing her gaze, Rhode raised his brow. Seeing Rhode's expression and reaction, Celestina smiled softly, and then continued to talk.

"You left that girl like this. Didn't you see that she was very sad? Why don't you just take out the set you are best at, let the girl calm down and become your slave? Isn't this fun? And for you, don't you like this set the most?"

"I'm a person who clearly distinguishes my personal hobbies and work, Selestina."

Faced with Celestina's sarcasm, Rhode kept his smile and lowered his face again, showing his usual cold expression, but this did not change their attitudes because for them, this was Rhode's normal expression, not the gentle and friendly smile mask that looked gentle and kind before.

"Work is work, and you cannot get personal relationships when completing tasks. What's more, I don't have a way to satisfy my personal hobbies." As she said this, Rhode looked at Selestina meaningfully. After he noticed Rhode's eyes, his face changed slightly. Then he snorted coldly and turned his head to look out of the car window, and ignored Rhode. Only Celia was confused between the two, and she had no idea what Rhode and Selestina were communicating with each other. She looked at this and then that, and when they saw that the two had no intention of explaining, she closed her mouth and stopped asking... For the Angel of War, gossiping about other people's privacy is not her hobby.

"Um?"

At this moment, Selestina, who looked out the window, suddenly opened her eyes slightly. She stared out of the car window with interest, and then asked with a chuckling and a question.

"Master, you just said that you clearly distinguish between work and personal hobbies, right?"

"Yes. What's the problem?"

"So now, since our mission has been completed, you shouldn't mind continuing to enjoy it, right?"

“……………?”

Just as Rhodes noticed something was wrong and frowned, the carriage suddenly slowed down. Then he stopped on the side of the road, and until this time, a breathless sound rang out. For Rhodes, this sound was not familiar, but it was definitely not unfamiliar. Just now, he had spoken to the owner of this voice.

"Please wait, Miss Sailun!!"

Hearing Emily's call, Rod frowned slightly. But he finally chose to open the car door and walked out of the carriage--at the same time completely ignored Celestina, who was obviously smiling at the opposite side. After getting off the carriage, Rod soon saw Emily's figure, and she grabbed a small bag in one hand and ran towards him desperately. At this time, Rod noticed that Emily was not wearing the home clothes she wore when she met her before, but a suit that was convenient for outdoor movement. This made Rod's eyes twitch... The holy soul is on, can't say...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Although he was muttering in his heart, facing Emily who was panting and running towards him, Rhode still showed his gentle and elegant smile before.

"What's wrong? Miss Emily? Is there anything else?"

"Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Emily ran to Rhodes in anger. She could see that she had been following the carriage for a long time. Fortunately, Rhodes' carriage had just started on the road. She did not leave Fiat City, otherwise, looking at the young lady, she would probably chase the carriage and run into the deep mountains and forests.

After a while, Emily recovered. She raised her head and looked at Rhode. After a moment, Emily gritted her teeth suddenly as if she had made up some decision, and then spoke.

"Sai, Miss Sailun...If possible, can you please take me out of here?"

“……………………………………………………………………”

I'll go...

Rhodes has so deeply realized how accurate it is to not speak nonsense and not to answer this common saying.

Although Rhode had noticed it when he found out that Emily came to find him, he still didn't believe that Emily would simply give up the life of the Chamber of Commerce and be a travel merchant with him? Is this also part of the mission? What an international joke! If Rhode is really a female businessman player, then it is not a problem to take Emily on the road, but the problem is that not only Rhode's identity as a businessman, but even his gender is disguised... And now Rhode is still eager to return to the Parfield front to deal with the subsequent offensive of the reformists, where can he have time to accompany Emily on a travel merchant trip?

However, Rhode did not refuse Emily's request. He just stared at the girl quietly and had not spoken for a long time. Seeing Rhode's reaction, Emily lowered her head a little uneasy and cramped, just like a student scolded by the teacher, helpless and confused. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it. At this time, Rhode's voice rang again.

"Why? Miss Emily?"

“Because…because……”

Faced with Rhode's inquiry, Emily opened her mouth, but found that she had no idea what to say. Before leaving, she had come up with so many reasons and so many words to talk to "Miss Sailun", but after seeing her with her own eyes, Emily couldn't say anything.

“Because I……………”

"I don't know what you are thinking, Miss Emily, but I will not take you out of here... I can understand that you are very painful and sad after losing your father. But... This is not the reason why you can choose to leave. Miss Emily, now you are not capable of embarking on the road to becoming a travel merchant. And, as a citizen of a country of light, I cannot take you out of the country without authorization. Especially in such a sensitive period."

"But Miss Sailun, I......"

Hearing this, Emily couldn't help but speak reflexively to say something, but she had just spoken. Rhode stretched out a finger and placed it beside her mouth, blocking her next words.

"This is the first lesson for traveling merchants. On the road of travel, you are always alone, and merchants are also humans. They are qualified to suffer and be sad, but in their lives, "business" is placed before "people". Escape cannot solve the problem, Miss Emily. If you cannot be as independent as a businessman, then you will have no way to travel with me. I'm sorry. But now to be honest, Miss Emily, you do not have enough qualifications to embark on this path."

“……………………………”

Hearing Rhode's words, Emily's shoulders suddenly relaxed. At this moment, she was like a balloon that had let go of her breath. She looked so helpless.

"I can't really travel with you? Miss Sailun?"

"Yes, Miss Emily, at least for now, you don't have that ability."

"So………so when will I have enough ability?"

"When you pick up your backpack again without hesitation and reluctance."

After saying this, Rhode looked at Emily, who was stunned by her words and didn't know what to say, and smiled.

"You have such qualifications, I promise you, Miss Emily. If you are willing to stick with it, you will become a very outstanding travel businessman. But that is not now. Because you are not yet able to have that ability, and you are not even ready."

Speaking of this, Rhode looked up at the sky.

"It's getting late, Miss Emily, it's time for you to go back... Then, goodbye, I hope you will be an excellent travel merchant next time I see you." After saying this, Rod bowed to Emily again, then turned and left, and seeing her figure walking onto the carriage again, Emily reacted. She reached out to say something to Rod, but at this time, the carriage door had been closed again, completely isolated her words and movements. Then, the coachman raised his whip again, and the carriage re-loaded, heading towards the distance.

Emily stared at the carriage in the distance, withdrew her right hand, she stared at her palm, and then smiled bitterly.

"It's just... the travel merchant is not a crying child... Miss Sailun is right. Now I am not qualified to go on the road with her, but......"

Speaking of this, Emily held her right hand tightly.

"One day, I will become an excellent traveler, Miss Sailon."

"call……………"

Relying on the back of the carriage, Rhode closed his eyes and took a deep breath. It has to be said that Emily's last sudden attack did surprise him. Fortunately, Rhode reacted quickly and refused Emily's request without giving Emily time to think. However... Rhode couldn't help frowning. In this way, he could still complete the "Fire Red Rose" task? Thinking of this, Rhode quickly closed his eyes and then called out the system panel. Soon, he saw a line of dark system prompts, and when he saw this line of system prompts, Rhode smiled bitterly.

"What's wrong? Master?"

Seeing Rhode suddenly laughing, Celia couldn't help asking, and when she heard her inquiry, Rhode just shrugged and shook his head.

"It's nothing, Celia, but... sometimes, some things are still impossible to force."

Speaking of this, Rhode turned his head and looked at the sky outside the car window.

I wonder how Lijie is doing?

If Lijie could hear Rhode's mind, she would definitely answer with a straightforward and neat answer.

Not good. Very bad.

At this moment, the girl was sitting on the cold chair in the fortress, staring at the people in front of her. The atmosphere at the scene was very hot, but for Lijie, she felt like a cold as a cemetery. It was not a physiological reaction, but a more inner pressure from the heart.

"We recently discovered that the reformist masters have become increasingly unhonest. In the past two days, they have sent to the front line to investigate twice as many scouts as before. Hey, I don't think this is a good sign. The same is true in Lando. The other party seems to have hired a lot of rangers and hunters. The troubles have obviously become much more difficult these days than before."

“Does it mean the chance of being discovered?”

"Hahaha, you are really good at joking, Miss Qilian. We were trained by Lord Canary and Lord Bubble. When you go back, tell them that we will be discovered by a group of rookies. Then I'd better go to the front line and die... That's not the case. I mean, these guys seem to be very enthusiastic about pulling out secret whistles recently. I suspect that the reformists may have big moves next."

"Well......It's not impossible. Xiao Lijie, do you have any problems?"

"Why?!"

Suddenly, when everyone's eyes were all looking at her, Lijie couldn't help but feel nervous immediately. She hesitated for a moment before she asked quietly.

"That... look like this. How many people are there?"

"It's hard to say, Miss Lijie, but according to my opinion and Lando, the other party has a large number this time, and there should be about 10,000 people."

“……………Where are their troops?”
To be continued...
