Chapter 356: Chapter 0356: Goodbye (seeking monthly tickets with third update)

Half an hour later, a middle-aged woman with a tired face arrived at the door.

“Long time no see, Cecilia.”

Su Lu felt like time had travelled back to the past and, unable to resist, he grinned and greeted her.

“You are…”

Cecilia rubbed her deep dark circles and suddenly gave Su Lu a hug: “Su Lu… you’re still alive. That’s great!”

“Uh…”

Su Lu was somewhat speechless, but he understood immediately.

Cecilia is not from the Inner Circle, she didn’t know much, only that there was an attack and Su Lu had since become a ‘missing person’. She most likely assumed he was dead.

“Cough, cough!”

A cough echoed. It was William Jessel, his rigid face looking even older. He glared at Su Lu, “Come with me!”

Even though he was part of the Inner Circle, at the time of the incident, he was in this research facility, and had luckily survived the onslaught.

But at this moment, William’s expression wasn’t too cheerful.

He took Su Lu to a conference room, roughly closed the door, leaving Cecilia outside, he lowered his voice, “Why did you return after leaving?”

Understanding his dissatisfaction, Su Lu nodded.

According to the old rules, his long-term disappearance could very likely be seen as ‘defecting’ from his sect.

Of course, now that the academy has been turned into a laboratory, his departure is considered different, at most he might be treated as a member who left without handing in a resignation notice.

At least, on the legal level of the Federation, there is no place to blame.

As for the constraints of Green Tree Castle? Sorry… the Arcane Spirit that had previously served as the central hub and the ‘witness of the oath’ is already gone. Su Lu left before the new contract was developed, which can be considered a loophole.

“Well… after wandering around the Federation, I feel that Green Tree Castle suits me best, and… I want to retrieve some of my belongings!”

Su Lu sat down, crossed his fingers, and answered calmly.

Even though he could extrapolate with experience points, he still hoped to obtain the follow-up job information of [Wandering Mage] from the Material Realm, because the consumption was too terrifying.

Besides, to make the ‘Sealing Card’, a large amount of precious spiritual material is needed, and Green Tree Castle is the most complete warehouse.

In the past, he hated the constraints of power, but after becoming a Legend, his vision and worth are dramatically different!

However, he doesn’t need to mention this to William.

“Things that belong to you, are you referring to…the telegram?”

William sighed deeply, lit his pipe, and slowly blew out a smoke ring, “I heard that you have already sold the patent to the Francis Consortium.”

“It’s a licensing agreement, I have a certain stake and dividends!” Su Lu frowned.

“Although I am from the Inner Circle, I don’t know too much about this matter…” William took another deep puff from his tobacco, tapped his sea foam stone pipe against the ashtray, “But… your ‘disappearance’ was discussed within the Electrotechnic sect at that time, it was almost deemed as ‘defection’, it was only because Lord Sleydon Watt appreciated your talents that it was forced down.”

This meant that if Su Lu wants to confront Orchi, who is from the Inner Circle of Green Tree Castle, it wouldn’t be wise.

In William’s eyes, Su Lu was still the low-level occupational person from before.

After all, Su Lu, who hasn’t activated the [Wandering Mage] form, his spiritual fluctuations have converged to a frightening degree, so much so that even some Fifth-Level Legends can’t detect his disguise.

“Thank you very much, Lord Ninth… But it looks like Orchi intends to default?” Su Lu couldn’t help but chuckle.

“It’s Lord Sixth seat!”

William corrected him: “After that incident, the seats of the Green Tree Council were adjusted…and, I don’t think your claims would be supported.”

He was still kind, revealing some information.

“Then… goodbye.”

Getting the information he wanted, Su Lu stood up and politely said goodbye.

As he walked out of the conference room, he saw that there was another person beside Cecilia, it was Andrew!

“Long time no see.”

Andrew, now dressed in an official researcher’s white lab coat, nodded reservedly at him, with a neutral expression.

“So, see you later.”

Su Lu shrugged his shoulders and walked out the door.

Indistinct voices continuously came from behind.

“Andrew, how could you do this? Have you forgotten that when Victor was bullying you, it was Su Lu who helped you!” Cecilia’s unhappy voice came.

“But… I’m officially a researcher now.”

Andrew’s voice came: “Not only that, I will soon be favored by the Spa Tutor and taken as an official student… Su Lu, he has been away from here for too long and he can’t keep up with us.”

“You’ve changed!”

“People always change eventually, senior sister, you must accept reality, we are people from two different worlds, it’s useless to contact him further.”

The next day, Su Lu sat at a roadside table in a restaurant, drinking coffee and reading today’s newspaper.

“Orchi’s Telegram Bureau is about to be listed on the White Eagle City Securities Exchange! Numerous investment banks and economic analysts are optimistic and it’s expected that the stock price will undergo a soaring wave… ha ha…”

He read a report in the financial section and a teasing smile appeared on his face.

“Yo… isn’t this Mr. Su Lu Pottery?”

At this moment, a somewhat exaggerated greeting sounded.

Su Lu looked up and saw Orchi Francis.

The man was wearing a stylish and exquisite suit, a gilded tie, holding a gemstone-encrusted cane, a black silk top hat mixed with the burgundy series of long hair, they complemented each other nicely.

He looked like a gentleman from high society.

No, he already was one.

“Orchi…”

Su Lu crossed his legs: “Are you here to talk to me about dividends and rights issues?”

Orchi’s playful expression was stiffened.

Learning the appearance of Su Lu Pottery through some channel, he exhausted a lot of manpower and resources to track down Su Lu’s residence and rushed to him, wanting to create a strong psychological pressure.

But who knew, it seemed that the other party wasn’t taking it too seriously, making him feel like he had punched the air.

“Dividends and rights issues?”

He sat across from Su Lu, and a bunch of bodyguards began to clear the area: “As the chairman of the telegram company, I regret to inform you that due to your absence from several financing board meetings in the past, your shareholding has continued to decline and has triggered the red line we set in our contract. I have bought back your shares with my own money.”

Orchi stared at Su Lu, it seemed he wanted to see the other party’s shocked, angry among other expressions.

But he was disappointed, Su Lu’s expression was still very calm, like a calm lake, with no ripples: “Is it? So… you’re here to give me money?”

“You…”

Orchi’s face suddenly darkened.

He stepped forward, lowered his voice: “I know what you did at White Tower, don’t think I don’t know! If you know what’s good for you, you better leave immediately, or else, I will pass the evidence to Green Tree Castle and turn you into a defector!”
