The second meeting

Meeting in Section 2

Two people sat down at the table. The wine on the table was the best drink this tavern could provide, but for a big businessman like Ajin, it was a medium- and low-end wine. But at this moment, he had poured two large glasses, one glass for each person.

With two glasses of wine falling into her stomach, the atmosphere between the two people has become much closer.

"What happened?" Ajin asked. "Have you really gone to the Chaos Tribe?"

"That's right." Ashu Rufate admitted.

"Oh my God, you can come back in full. You don't know how surprised this makes me. The Chaos Realm is not easy to mess with."

"At least I'm doing well." Ash Rufat smiled. "I've become a Chaos Lord, and I have a large territory... and many subordinates."

"What...what?" A Jin was stunned for a moment, "Ah, no wonder. You are so powerful in the Chaos Tribe, it's normal to eat in the Chaos Tribe... Wait!" The next moment, A Jin showed a heartbroken expression on his face. "Ashu Rufat, is it equivalent to abandoning your status, territory and subordinates when you come back?"

"Of course."

"Ahhh... you are too ignorant. If you stay in the Chaos Tribe, we can establish long-term business transactions... After all the business stabilizes, you can come back. Think about it, how much profit we can get..."

"A Jin!"

"Okay okay... Forget it, you are not a businessman anyway, so you probably don't care... Alas, you don't know what this means at all! It means monopoly!!! Imagine that we can complete unprecedented innovations and establish a stable trade route with the Chaos forces..." Ajin said with some frustration. "Okay, it's useless to say anything now. Ashurufat, you're back. I guess your subordinates and your territory will not be waiting for you to go back in an empty place."

Ash Rufat smiled and agreed to Ajin's guess.

"But, Ashu Rufat, since you are back, why are you so sneaky?" Ajin asked in confusion.

"Ah, this, I'm having a little trouble," said Ashu Rufate, but he immediately changed the subject. "Now the Falcon City... no, how is Grooney's situation?"

"What's going on? You came all the way from White Fort and didn't know anything?"

"This..." Asu Ruffatt seemed a little embarrassed. "For some reason, I didn't have the chance to inquire about it. I want to know how Groney is now?"

"What else can it be done, everything will be the same!" Ajin replied. "But our King has taken some care of me and helped me solve a lot of small troubles."

"How is that little girl?" Ashu Rufat asked.

"Her Majesty the Queen of Our Abdicated?" Ajin smiled. "Very good, the first heir to the throne, but I haven't gone out much in her own mansion recently... But I can be sure she is doing well, but there is a legend... she is obsessed with you." Ajin lowered her voice. "Ashu Rufat, don't tell me what special relationship is there between you and her...!"

"The relationship between the monarch and the subject." Ashu Rufate smiled and replied. "It was once the relationship between the monarch and the subject."

"I'm afraid it's more than that," Ajin replied. "You must know that our king... the current one has publicly announced that her Highness Princess Angel will make her own choice in her marriage. Don't tell me you don't understand what this implies!"

"I have two wives." Ash Rufate replied.

"Tsk! You never held a wedding at all. Although your Aunt Mary claimed all day long that you were already a legal couple, and even found a church priest to help her lie. But I know this is impossible! Ashu Rufate, I can't believe that you wouldn't invite me to the wedding. We are friends, right?"

"Of course...well, Akin...but now I want to know, how is Groney going?"

"How is it? I said, everything is normal! It's too good to be better. Chaos didn't make any trouble, and the financial problems were solved. Our neighbors, the Tiberius, were honest. The nobles were all obedient... What else could there be wrong with this?"

"What about the church's search for the believers of Chaos? I remember when I left, they were doing this with all their might."

"There is no such thing as this world that can do all your best to do for several years." Ajin laughed. "Since you defeated the Chaos Legion at White Fort, this matter has quickly faded. Now the church has returned to its original state-I mean it is as usual, as we did when we first met."

"Xingjian... what's the situation in my residence in Eagle City?" Ashu Rufat asked.

"It's not better than good," Ajin asked. "Do you know nothing about your Aunt Mary? What can happen if you have her under her? Ah... I forgot to tell you something, Miss Shirley is no longer the acting Minister of Finance."

"Discharged?" Ashu Rufate asked.

"It's a pity, no, I resigned. Because I really don't have time to take up the position of Chancellor of the Finance Department." Ajin said. "She is now fully launching the Tobacco Chamber of Commerce. I have to say that Shirley is a good person, with courage and luck... She is doing a lot of business now, and the Internet has even spread to the Seven Kingdoms. Although there is a problem of unstable foundation... But," Ajin drank another drink. "I even admired it."

"It's really that good?"

"Tsk, I have had enough business dealings with her, so I can guarantee it." Ajin replied.

"Is she in Hawk City now?"

"No, she shouldn't be in Groney now... Maybe in Sham, maybe in Tiberiu... Of course, maybe in Turan." Ajin burped. When he was just talking, his mouth was very busy, and the table of food and food was wiped out by him. "This is the disadvantage of the business being too big. She couldn't find too many capable and reliable subordinates, so she had to do everything herself and run around. You know," Ajin laughed proudly. "Actually, as long as I want, I can also make my business so big, but this does not conform to my principles... As a businessman, we must not only focus on profits, but also on risks. My cousin repeatedly warned me when I was a child that everything should be done within my ability. Excessive greed is the road to destruction."

"Is everything so perfect?" Ashu Rufat said to himself softly.

"By the way," Ajin suddenly remembered something. "Why did you come to me so secretly? You are so open and honest... Wait, you have no money on you?"

"No." Ashu Rufat sighed. "I'm just a little worried...you don't know what kind of trouble I'm in."

"No matter what kind of trouble..." Ajin patted his chest and made a bold statement. "I will support you to the end, don't worry. Ah, Ash Rufate, don't you want to promote the belief in evil gods, right? This is very difficult..."

Ash Rufate shook his head. "Ajin, everything is better than I expected. But I still want to ask if there are any rumors about the political situation?"

"I know what you want to ask," Ajin sighed. "But you may not know... There is a very sad rumor now. Our Majesty the King was irreversible and could no longer have children when he was imprisoned."

"Rumor? Or is it true?"

"Who knows. The truth is always a secret, only the wall knows it. But although the wall has ears, there is no mouth." Ajin sighed. "I just want to explain that our king is married, but he has no children yet. So Princess Angel is in a better situation than outsiders have expected. She has plenty of time to wait patiently for the crown to return to her head, right? And a person with a slightly longer vision will understand where he should put the chips. OK, Ashu Rufat, don't worry, I promise that you can return to your home safely from the road without worrying about someone causing trouble for you... But why do you ask me for information first? Isn't Countess Marianne more suitable?"

"Because the whereabouts of a merchant are not valued." As a nobleman, he may be paid attention to by those who are interested."

"I used to think you were a casual person... Wait, Ashu Rufate, tell me, what trouble are you in?"

"In fact, Ajin, I want to borrow your carriage."

"Carriage? Of course, there is no problem!" Ajin agreed immediately, and then woke up. "What happened? You... can't go into the city by yourself?" He looked Ash Rufate up and down, but couldn't see any problem. "What's going on?"

Ashu Rufate made a "Follow me" gesture.

The two left the tavern gate, and the shopkeeper, the guy and the waitress all came to stop them. Everyone knew that the rich man paid far more than the food they enjoyed.

Under the leadership of Ashu Rufate, the two began to walk towards the wasteland outside the town. There was a forest here, and this season was deep and dense. Usually, Ajin refused to go to such a hidden danger. However, with a companion like Ashu Rufate, Ajin would do it.

They walked a long way and took several turns. Then Ajin saw a man standing under a big tree in front of him.

The man was dressed exactly like Ash Rufate - he also wore that ugly and dirty inferior cloak. If Ash Rufate hadn't led the way, Akin would have thought he had been tricked into the bandit's nest.

After Ajin approached, the man raised his head and showed his face.

"This is..." Ajin immediately recognized this face. In the past few years, the two sides have been in contact with each other. "Ms. Pala... wait, no..." Ajin was a businessman after all, and immediately noticed some differences in temperament. "You are Miss Kaqiuya, you are not... By the way, I remembered that Ash Rufate was for you..."

Ashu Rufate walked forward and gently took off the hood from the star carving head.

"Gods of the Star Domain!" Ajin exclaimed.

"I'm sorry, although I brought Xingke back, she... has been branded with a Chaos Seal." Ash Rufate said. "Take her, everything must be cautious. I don't even dare to take her into the city, it will be bad if I'm searched by the guards."
