"Resources?" Jankos asked in confusion, "What do you need resources for? After all, you can't bring resources to that other world even if you have resources."
"You're overthinking it." Lylia shook her head. "I have a close friend whose family just went bankrupt, so she's holding onto many resources to rebuild from scratch."
"I want to help her, but I don't have enough money or resources."
"Ah!" Jankos imdiately understood why Lylia was asking for resources.
After all, running a Lord's business was normal in this world.
Many people relied on helping the Lords develop to exploit resources from other worlds or hunt monsters and collect their corpses.
So monsters carried rare items on them, which, when sold, could be extrely valuable.
Others trained the Lords to beco rcenaries.
In general, in this world, almost every industry centres around the Lord for developnt.
"Your friend, huh? I don't know her, how can I trust and help her?" Jankos frowned.
Lylia didn't say much; she just waved her hand.
Suddenly, Vylyss entered the room.
Jankos imdiately had his eyes fixed on Vylyss, his eyes sparkling, his mouth hanging open as if his tongue might fall out.
Beautiful!
So beautiful!
More beautiful than Lylia.
So beautiful that he just wanted to rush towards her, savouring every inch of her body.
Is there anyone in this world who's this beautiful?
That face… truly perfect. When Jankos saw Vylyss, his first thought was that her beauty must have been altered.
It must be artificial beauty.
But as he looked closer, everything seed so natural that he couldn't find anything unusual.
At that mont, Vylyss' eyes suddenly emitted a faint pink glow, causing Jankos' mind to falter as if he were under so control.
However, the feeling didn't last long, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Jankos didn't even realise that sothing strange had just occurred.
His vision only blurred slightly, but then everything returned to normal.
"Nice to et you, my na is Vylyss," Vylyss said, her tone quite indifferent, making her seem like a cold, distant iceberg.
"I'm Jankos..." Jankos extended his hand as if wanting to shake hers.
But his hand stopped mid-air, and Vylyss didn't take his hand, nor did she pay him any attention.
"Vylyss has a bit of a cold personality, and she also has a condition where she's afraid of n, so you can't touch her," Lylia explained.
"Ah! My mistake," Jankos said, startled, retracting his hand. However, his gaze was still filled with greed as he looked at Vylyss, as if he wanted to devour her imdiately.
Jankos didn't realise that Vylyss had already altered his mind. His eyes were now entirely focused on her.
"So, Jankos, can you help her?"
Hearing Lylia's question, Jankos smiled and replied, "Of course, I'll definitely help her. Don't worry, I can buy any resources you want, as long as they're not too expensive or too rare."
Seeing Jankos so confident, Vylyss nodded slightly and indifferently said, "This is the list of items needed. If you buy everything on this list, you can contact ."
"If you want, I can write you an IOU and pay you back later."
At that mont, Vylyss' eyes glowed with a pink light again. Although Jankos was standing right before her, he didn't notice the change in her eyes.
On the contrary, he looked like a fool, smiling as he said, "Hahaha… no need, really no need. I trust you."
Jankos took the paper from Vylyss's hand, deliberately brushing his hand against hers.
Vylyss recoiled in fear, quickly pulling her hand back, her face flushed even more, making her even more alluring, which stunned Jankos.
"Hahaha… sorry, I didn't an to," Jankos said, though he still raised the hand that had touched Vylyss' and took a deep breath, savouring the enticing fragrance that captivated him.
Vylyss frowned, quickly turning her head to leave.
"You… I'm still standing here, and you're flirting with another girl," Lylia pretended to be angry, frowning as she spoke.
"Hahaha… Lylia, you have to trust . I really didn't an it just now. But your friend is really beautiful. What company does she run? I could help her rebuild it," Jankos said with a smile.
"I don't know," Lylia pouted and replied, "Did I ntion it so you could have a chance to et her?"
"You should rember, I am your fiancée now."
Jankos smirked inwardly.
'Huh! Stupid woman. Are you starting to feel like your position is unstable? Hahaha… wait until I marry you and take your first ti, then the next target will be your mother.'
'After that… it will be Vylyss. Kekekeke… A beautiful girl like her, how could I let her go? Vylyss, you will definitely be mine. No one else can have you.'
Jankos thought to himself.
He didn't stay long, taking Vylyss' note with him, and imdiately left.
After Jankos left, Lylia let out a sigh of relief.
Noralia, having witnessed everything, asked with confusion: "Lylia, just now you..."
"Mom, don't ask too much. This is Noan's plan," Lylia said with a smile. "Huh! You should see how Noan and I handled that bastard."
"Lylia, don't act thoughtlessly," Noralia said with concern. "Jankos is no ordinary man, he..."
"Okay, Mom, don't worry. I know exactly what I'm doing," Lylia said confidently with a smile.
However, Noralia didn't share the sa opinion; she could only sigh in response.
At that mont, Noan appeared: "Sorry for troubling Aunt Noralia today, I'll be leaving now. I promise I'll return later, bringing so gifts to compensate for it."
"No need!" Noralia shook her head. "Aren't you staying? It would be better if you ate lunch first and then left."
Noan shook his head: "I'm truly sorry, I have so matters to take care of and can't stay long."
Suddenly, Lylia rushed toward him and hugged him tightly: "You're not allowed to leave."
Noan shook his head: "Sorry, Lylia. I'll co to see you tomorrow, but now I really have to take care of so issues."
Lylia pouted, though unwilling, and eventually let him go. In a sulky tone, she said, "If you don't see , no matter where you hide, I will find you."
"You must reply to my ssages within a minute, understand?"
Noan forced a smile, nodding: "I understand."
He bowed his head to Noralia, then imdiately left with Vylyss.
Lylia watched Noan's retreating figure, feeling a slight sense of loss in her heart.
But today, she felt very satisfied, thinking that her future with Noan would be full of sweetness.
Noralia, on the other hand, seeing Lylia's expression, could only sigh and shake her head, unsure of what to say in this situation.
But… it was the business of young people, and she couldn't intervene too much.
…
Noan and Vylyss used teleportation magic, instantly appearing in a secluded area.
"Master, why didn't you let charm him and turn him into a slave?" Vylyss asked as she used a cloth, trying to wipe the spot where Jankos had touched her.
"Too risky," Noan shook his head.
In fact, he had helped Vylyss learn the frequency of the magical do, which allowed her to now use magic as well.
But Vylyss still felt confused. Jankos was just an ordinary person; if she used charm magic, he would undoubtedly beco her slave.
Noan understood Vylyss' confusion and imdiately explained: "Jankos' status is special; he's the eldest son of a large family."
"You can use magic without the Magic Do detecting it, but what if his family suspects sothing after Jankos has been manipulated by you?"
"They could use magical items to investigate, and everything would collapse at that point."
"Furthermore, if you use high-intensity charm magic, it could alert the City's Magic Do."
"That's why we need to act carefully and gradually change Jankos' mind."
"Although it will take more ti, the result will be the sa, but it's much safer."
Vylyss nodded lightly in agreent, obediently standing by his side.
In fact, there was another reason Noan hadn't ntioned: Jankos was a 'Fate Holder.'
If he acted too hastily, it could cause a lot of problems. After all, a 'Fate Holder' was like the protagonist of a novel.
If he didn't proceed carefully, it was certain that Noan would be in danger.
