Chapter 559: 68. Moon Rabbit Orphan_3
Indeed, the next second, a look of resolve flashed across Ilois’s face. She clenched her black nun’s robe tightly before suddenly relaxing, her hands trembling slightly as she made a devout prayer gesture in front of her. The benevolent gaze of the Mother Goddess gave her courage and led her to the decision to temporarily leave the church.
“Sister Shalu, I apologize, but I must leave here for a while, but I will definitely co back later, this is my promise… Miss Valentina, I… I am willing to help you, to go back to Nebalon Kingdom with you to retrieve the Seal.”
Valentina nodded imperceptibly, a slight curve forming at the corners of her mouth.
“Since that’s the case, we will leave here tonight. If you have anything you need to pack, you can go and collect it now.”
“Oh? Tonight… But, but if the church isn’t cleaned and tidied up, there will be problems when I co back… I.”
Valentina rubbed her temples and soothed the Ilois in front of her before speaking,
“Speaking of which, I have investigated the situation here before coming. The nuns here had a land dispute with Luxiang Castle City in the past, which ans they had no plans to develop this place for the ti being. Otherwise, in a few years, you would be thrown out of the church by the police of the Female Country.”
“But now you don’t have to worry. I’ve already bought this land from the governnt of Luxiang Castle City. Once this matter is over, I will hire soone to renovate the church for you. It’s already so worn that it’s leaking.”
Hearing Valentina’s words, Ilois gaped in her usual innocent way, never having thought about how much a full renovation of the church would cost. It suddenly hit her at this mont, but after thinking for a long ti, she still couldn’t co up with a specific number…
It must be a lot of money, right?
She nodded blankly and then responded,
“Ah… okay, fine… I’ll go and pack now. By the way, I still want to speak with… Mr. Fisher.”
“No, you go pack first… I also have sothing I want to say to Mr. Fisher.”
Valentina touched the ring on her finger and returned her gaze to the Nali man in front of her.
Ilois stood there, uncertain whether to stay or to leave, but she covered her belly and looked back at Fisher, only after receiving his nod of approval did she cautiously head back to the little cabin behind the Mother Goddess Statue to start packing her belongings.
Watching Ilois walk away, Valentina pushed the joystick on the wheelchair next to her and crossed the boundary line ford by the compassionate gaze of the Mother Goddess, moving slightly closer to Fisher.
Her words were direct and her pale silver eyes reflected Fisher’s handso visage. However, it was clear her gaze was filled with distrust for Fisher,
“Mr. Fisher, although personally I am very inclined to believe your story, you have acted twice now ahead of us, which is far beyond what coincidence can explain… This operation is of great importance, and for the Turand Family, it is not permissible to fail.
Therefore, I can only say I am sorry to Mr. Fisher, but I must rescind our prior invitation for cooperation. Until you are frank about whom you truly work for, let’s put aside any talk of cooperation for the ti being…”
For whom, for God?
It was difficult to explain whether beating Valentina to the punch twice was a coincidence or a joke played by God. Obviously, the other party would not believe in his own words… to be honest, even Fisher wasn’t too convinced himself.
But he wasn’t too regretful, for in his hands, he held a trump card that would force Valentina to agree to cooperate with him,
“It seems the Turand Family is determined to claim the Frost Snow Phoenix Tree this ti. It’s all right if cooperation cannot continue, how about we make a trade instead?”
“A trade?”
Facing Valentina’s pale silver eyes, Fisher glanced unintentionally at Helldor standing behind her and nodded,
“Yes, a trade… I wonder if Miss Valentina might be interested in the Grey Bird Species Mark that is the key to the Wutong Tree?”
