Chapter 1595 [Afterword 4] Your Father Is Here
Departing from the Star Base, after a long voyage of dozens of days, the fully loaded ocean-going fleet successfully arrived at the port of Tangia in the south of the Old World.
At the dock, the managers from various chambers of commerce have been waiting for a long time. There is no need to worry about how to deal with the full cabins of New World specialty goods.
New World specialty goods are never hard to sell.
If it were not for anti-monopoly considerations, the Sterling Chamber of Commerce would be able to take all these goods.
When Ansel took over as the commander-in-chief and became the head of the New World Investigation Team, there were many people who raised objections and had concerns.
The reason is also very simple. Everyone is worried that the Sterling family siblings will "collude with officials and businessmen", and then the entire New World will probably become their family's private property.
However, no one expected that with the strong support of the great elder and the old commander, Ansel established a hard decree on the day he became the commander of the investigation team.
No chamber of commerce may occupy more than 30% of any New World specialty goods.
As soon as this decree came down, the Sterling Chamber of Commerce, which originally held nearly 70% of all the goods in the New World, suffered heavy losses.
Those chambers of commerce that were jealous but could not get involved cheered to divide the shares, and the monopoly position of the Sterling Chamber of Commerce no longer existed.
There are rumors that the head of the Sterling Chamber of Commerce, the famous strong woman Ms. Jessica, tore down the office in a rage.
She roared and declared that she would never have anything to do with her brother who "eats the inside out" and "repays kindness with hatred".
This matter became a joke among businessmen.
But few people know that the emergence of this decree originated from Jessica's own suggestion.
Since the fifth period of the group, the Sterling Chamber of Commerce has monopolized the goods of the New World for nearly ten years, and the name and trademark of the chamber of commerce have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
It is true that a few more years of monopoly can make a lot more money, but the pressure from the government and other chambers of commerce is also increasing.
Instead of being greedy and forcing it, and finally being overturned by those greedy guys, it is better to take a step back and make money together.
Anyway, I still make the most money.
My brother is the commander of the investigation team, and the only heir of the Chamber of Commerce is his daughter. How can the Sterling family suffer a loss?
It took some time to complete the personnel arrangement.
Ansel walked down the gangway with a stern face. After throwing the Chamber of Commerce managers who were smiling and gathered around to the head of the material class for reception, he boarded the high-speed airship to Dongduoluma alone.
He couldn't wait to go home and see his precious daughter whom he hadn't seen for two years.
And decide whether to give her a good beating depending on the situation.
Dondoruma.
After completing today's tutoring course, Fufu ran out of the study room with cheers, and suddenly felt a chill.
She stopped suddenly and shivered.
What's going on? !
She looked around vigilantly, but couldn't find anything unusual.
"Strange." Fufu muttered.
I thought it was my mother hiding in the dark, ready to suddenly jump out and give me a blow or something.
Am I overthinking? No, her instincts were always accurate.
Some kind of danger was approaching
Fufu came to the door of the restaurant with trepidation. The waiter opened the door. Before she could see the figures at the table, a familiar female voice came into her ears.
"My dear niece, why are you so sad?"
"Ah, aunt, good day!" Fufu raised her head and bowed to Jessica, who was looking at her with interest.
Jessica nodded her chin, motioning her to sit down. The waiter brought the dishes and the two began to eat in silence.
Fufu's back was very straight.
She didn't like to eat alone with her aunt. Although her aunt loved her since she was a child, she always felt that she dared not relax in front of her aunt.
Unlike eating with grandparents, she could be more casual. As for eating with her mother, as long as you eat the food on the plate clean, she doesn't care if you eat with your feet.
"From your expression, do you know that your father will be home tomorrow?" Jessica put down her cutlery after finishing her meal, with a faint smile on her face.
"?!!" Fu Fu's expression froze.
A while ago, I heard Uncle Gordon say that my father would be back soon, and I thought it would be next month.
How come he's here so soon? !
Tomorrow? !
So the danger I feel is actually this?
It's over, I'm really going to be caught and taken to the New World to open up wasteland. This won't work!
Looking at her niece's rolling eyes, Jessica's smile became more obvious.
I wonder what interesting things this little guy who looks quirky but is actually a little dumb like her mother will do.
At that time, what kind of expression will Anshil show?
Gordon reached out and rubbed Muti's head.
Suddenly, he felt that due to the height factor, it was particularly easy to rub his baby daughter's head, so he rubbed it a few more times, rubbing the little guy all over the place.
Gordon didn't withdraw his hand until his wife slapped him on the back of his hand.
"Good night, my baby." Hayata gently hugged her daughter and kissed her cheek and forehead.
"Good night, mom, good night, dad~."
Muti was a little shy, and after answering softly, she stepped on the stairs and ran back to her room on the second floor.
Although she didn't talk much on weekdays, looked mature and sensible, and was taller than many adults, she was just a little girl in her early teens.
Muti returned to her room and closed the door with a happy smile on her face.
The days when her parents were at home were the happiest days she had spent in recent years.
"Knock! Knock!"
A sudden knock on the window startled Muti.
She turned her head and looked out the window, where a vague but familiar figure was waving to her.
Muti reluctantly came to the window, opened it, and Fufu, who was outside the window, skillfully climbed over the edge of the window, got into the room, and hugged her.
"It's over! Muti! Save me!"
"Ehhhhh? Sister Fufu?"
Fufu's face was full of exaggerated panic, which made the honest child Muti at a loss. "What happened?"
She grabbed the water glass on the table and took a few sips. She exhaled heavily and said with a heavy face, "My dad will be back tomorrow!
It was originally promised that it would arrive next month! "
Muti was confused, "But isn't that a good thing?"
"No!"
Fufu looked serious, "That's a desperate situation!"
"It's not that big of a deal, right?" Muti felt that Fu Fu was acting a bit exaggerated.
In her impression, Uncle Anhil was indeed a serious and strict person, but he would not lose his temper casually, and he was also very kind to them.
Whether it is strength or leadership, he is very powerful in all aspects. Grandpa Yamos said that she should follow his example. He is a person she respects very much.
"That's for you!" Fufu gritted her teeth, "Dad likes children like you the most who are obedient, hard-working, and have clear goals in life!
People like me who want to hang out will only get beaten by him! "
Muti didn't understand why Fufu had such thoughts.
In her eyes, Fufu was much better than her.
Arithmetic, literature, art, etiquette. It seems that there is nothing in the world that she cannot learn.
As for myself, except that I am taller and stronger than my peers, I have no special talents.
No matter how you think about it, Sister Fufu is more powerful, right?
"You don't understand." Fufu didn't know how to explain.
That's because I was taught by tutors since I was a child, so I know a little bit about everything, but what can I really do that makes me stand out?
It seems there isn't.
It made her unable to figure out what she was good at and what she wanted to do in the future.
I am obviously only fourteen years old! Logically speaking, there is still a long time to hesitate and choose.
But there is a guy like Muti next to him who decided to be a hunter at the age of four, which makes him very indecisive!
"It's all your fault anyway! You have to help me!" Fufu, who didn't know what to say for a moment, decided to lie.
Muti, who had no idea what to do, was a little confused, "What can I help you with?"
"Listen to my mother, if I continue to be like this, living day by day and living aimlessly, my father will take me to the New World to train me personally.
Across the ocean, there is no one I know well there, only an unkind father! I don't want to go there! "
"Then, why don't you just tell Uncle Anhil that you don't want to go?" Muti suggested in confusion.
"It can't be that simple!" Fufu pouted, "If I just said I didn't want to go, I wouldn't have such a headache."
Muti felt that Fufu was overcomplicating the problem, but looking at Fufu's resolute expression, maybe he was thinking too simply.
"What should we do?" Muti, who has a relatively passive personality, decided to express less opinions.
"I want dad to feel that I am not just messing around, but have a clear goal!"
"Yeah!" Muti nodded fiercely.
She thought it was good to have a goal to work towards.
"But this goal is fake, so I can't really trap myself in it!"
"ah?"
"For example, I can't just run to my mother and tell her that I want to be a hunter. Then my mother will really send me to a training camp, which would be terrible."
"But, why not set a real goal?" Muti was puzzled.
Fufu replied with a serious face: "Because I am really a bastard who just takes it one day at a time."
"."
Muti, who is just a little girl after all, is confused.
Fufu continued: "Telling my dad that I like literature, music, art, etc. will definitely not work. He won't believe it if he asks the tutors about it.
It cannot be said that I like business, then I will fall into the hands of my aunt.
After much deliberation, the best way is to say that I want to be a hunter.
but! I couldn't say this to my mother. Life in the training camp was like going to jail. Being stared at under her nose would make life impossible.
The only way is to break out of the training camp system and become someone's 'disciple'! "
Muti nodded confusedly.
Of course she understood what the so-called "disciple" was. It was a hunter training system that was more traditional than the training camp and passed down skills in the form of "master and apprentice".
My parents learned this way, and my mother was a disciple of Grandpa Yamos.
But does it make any difference?
Fufu showed her true intention and said slyly: "Can you tell your parents for me?
Whether it's Uncle Gordon or Aunt Hayata, if I could become a disciple of any of them, my father would probably let me go, right?
I know that my uncles and aunts are very busy and it is impossible to take a novice like me to the border.
So just put your name on it and fool my dad! "
"."
Muti roughly understood what Fu Fu meant, but he always felt that something was wrong.
Considering the parents' personalities and the relationship between the two families, it would not be difficult for them to accept Sister Fufu as their disciple.
But the question is, is Uncle Anhil so easy to fool?
Early next morning.
Gordon and Gordon were not surprised by the uninvited Fufu on their dining table.
The two families lived not far away, and the child sneaked over to have a meal more than once or twice. Her mother also came sometimes.
Unlike the exquisite dishes at Sterling House, the breakfast at Gordon's house is simple and generous.
A huge pot full of stew and a whole basket of bread.
Hayata gave Fufusheng the same standard "small portion" as Muti, and she almost didn't have time to spit it out.
After trying hard to swallow two-thirds of the food, Fufu showed Gordon and Hayata a sweet and flattering smile.
Gordon grinned.
Hayata put down the tableware in her hands and pinched Fufu's cheek flesh: "This cheeky one looks just like your mother.
If you can't eat it, don't force yourself to eat it. Is there anything you can ask us for? "
"Hehehehe" Fufu scratched her head and giggled.
Gordon knocked on the table, "Stop laughing, I learned a lesson from your mother a long time ago. The more honest you smile, the more crooked your idea will be.
What tricks are you trying to play this time? Let’s talk and listen first. "
"cough"
Fufu stood up, took a deep breath, adjusted her expression, and bowed vigorously, "I hope to learn hunting skills from you two."
"no."
She was only halfway through her words when Gordon interrupted her in advance, choking off the second half of Fu Fu's words.
"You are not physically talented enough and my method is not suitable for you, although this is not the point.
We will return to the border soon. It is not a suitable place for apprentices to learn and hone, so I cannot promise you. "
That couldn't be better!
Fufu yelled in her heart. Of course, she couldn't say that directly.
Hayata didn't refuse as simply as Gordon did. She was more thoughtful and considered the issue from more angles.
"Didn't Gale say you don't want to be a hunter? Why did you suddenly change your mind?
If you want to learn to be a hunter, your mother should be happy to teach you personally. Haven't you mentioned it to her? "
Fufu opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain, so she could only turn her eyes to Muti for help.
Muti, who had promised to speak for her, pursed his lips and whispered to his parents: "Just help Sister Fufu."
Gordon and Hayata's eyes turned at the same time.
Now, Gordon, who didn't think much about it at first, also noticed something was wrong, "There are also lobbyists? What do you mean? Why do you feel like you have other plans?"
Hayata raised her eyebrows and looked carefully at the two hesitating little girls, "You want to become our disciples, why do you suddenly have such an idea?
Well, it seems that your father is going to Dongdoruma today. Could it have something to do with this? "
"Hahaha, you can't be thinking that with us as a shield, Ancil won't arrest you and go to the New World, right?" Gordon laughed.
"." Fufu looked away guiltily.
Hayata was also stunned at this time, "Is this really the reason? How did your child's brain grow?"
Seeing that the "plot" was exposed, Fufu simply stopped being secretive. She hugged Hayata's arm and started acting coquettishly.
"Aunt Hayata, please help me, I don't want to go to the New World."
Hayata rubbed the girl's head amusingly, "You don't like the New World so much? That's where you were born.
When I took you back by boat, you cried very sadly. "
Fufu puffed up her mouth and whispered: "It's not that I don't like it, it's mainly because my familiar relatives, friends, and teachers are all here, and suddenly they want me to leave and go to another land across the ocean. No one would be happy about it."
Gordon and Hayata looked at each other.
They had made great determination back then, and finally decided to leave everything behind in the Old Continent and join the investigation team.
The same choice is indeed too cruel for a pampered fourteen-year-old girl. (Rich second-generation junior high school girls are thrown away to develop Africa?)
Gordon pondered.
During the days when he came back for vacation, he also gradually learned about Fufu's situation from Gale, Jessica, and Muti.
What does this child say?
Thanks to various factors such as the inheritance of his parents and the investment in top educational resources, he almost grew up to be an all-rounder without even realizing it.
Is it because you can’t figure out the future direction because you don’t have your own opinion? No. It's because there are so many paths she can choose.
Jessica, who leads Fufu’s education, also has very direct ideas.
Whether you are a scholar or an artist, you can choose any path, and it doesn't matter whether you achieve something or not. After twenty or thirty years, Fufu has matured, and she is almost old enough, so the responsibility of the Chamber of Commerce can be handed over to her.
This is the life trajectory that Jessica has arranged for her.
Perhaps the reason why Anhil wanted to take her to the New World was to allow her to see a wider world and provide her with more opportunities to make free choices.
From this perspective, preventing Ancil from taking her to the New World may not be the right choice.
Not to mention, this is essentially a family matter.
"Bang bang bang!"
Just as I was having a headache, there was a loud knock on the door.
Gordon looked in the direction of the door, and Muti consciously ran to open the door.
Soon, a familiar bleating voice came from the foyer, "Ah! Are you little Muti? Are you so big?! You're almost up to me."
Why is ** already taller than me? ! "
Hearing this voice, Gordon and Hayata couldn't help but smile on their faces.
Fufu even cheered and ran out, "It's Sister Fengying!"
"Ahahaha! Fufu has grown up too! Okay, okay, finally there is someone who is not as tall as me.
Master Gordon! Sister Hayata! Here I come! "
Feng Ying hooked the shoulders of the two little girls and came to the living room laughing and joking, not looking like an elder at all.
Feng Ying, who was in a great mood, looked particularly excited after hugging Gordon and Hayata hard.
"Where's that Ancier guy? He won't arrive until this afternoon? Hey, leave him alone!
This trip came in a hurry and I didn’t prepare any gifts. Is there anything you two little guys want?
You can make a wish alone! "
The honest Muti shook his head, but Fufu rolled her eyes.
She remembered that this "Sister Feng Ying" who looked no older than her was also a super powerful master hunter.
He immediately hugged Feng Ying's legs like a snake and repeated his request to become a disciple.
Feng Ying would not be as scrupulous as Gordon and the others, and would agree to it on the spot.
"No problem! From now on, you will be my disciple, Lord Bai Feng!"
You can continue to stay in Dongdoruma and fish, you can travel around the world with me, wander around and gain experience, you can run around for a while and come back and touch for a while, it’s all fine!
If your dad doesn't agree, I'll tell him!
At worst, we sneak away."
"Okay!" Fufu raised her arms and cheered.
Gordon Hayata looked at each other again.
This guy who broke in unexpectedly completely overturned Ancier and Jessica's arrangements.
