Chapter 1595 [Afterword 4] Your father is here
After setting out from the Star Base and a long journey of dozens of days, the fully loaded ocean-going fleet successfully arrived at the Port of Tangia in the south of the Old Continent.
At the dock, managers from various chambers of commerce had been waiting for a long time. There was no need to worry about how to deal with the full cabins of New World specialty goods.
New World specialties are always in demand.
If it weren't for antitrust considerations, the Sterling Chamber of Commerce would have taken over all of these goods.
When Ansel took over as commander-in-chief and became the head of the New World Survey Team, many people raised objections and had concerns.
The reason is very simple. Everyone is worried that the Sterling brother and sister will "collude with officials and businessmen", and then the entire New World will become their family's private property.
However, what no one expected was that with the strong support of the Grand Elder and the old commander, Ansel established a strict decree on the day he became the commander of the investigation team.
No chamber of commerce may hold more than 30% of the share of any New World specialty product.
As soon as this decree came down, the Sterling Chamber of Commerce, which originally owned nearly 70% of all goods in the New World, suffered heavy losses.
Those chambers of commerce that were envious but had no chance of getting involved cheered as they divided up their shares. The monopoly of the Sterling Chamber of Commerce no longer existed.
Rumor has it that the head of the Sterling Chamber of Commerce, the famous strong woman Ms. Jessica, tore down the office in a rage.
He roared and declared that he would never have anything to do with his brother who was a traitor and repaid kindness with enmity.
This incident became a laughing stock among businessmen.
However, few people know that the emergence of this decree originated from Jessica's own suggestion.
Since the fifth group period, the Sterling Chamber of Commerce has monopolized New World goods for nearly ten years, and the Chamber of Commerce's name and trademark have long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
By monopolizing the market for a few more years, the company can indeed earn a lot more money, but the pressure from the government and other chambers of commerce is also increasing.
Instead of being greedy and pushing forward, only to be defeated by those greedy guys in the end, it is better to take a step back and make money together.
I still make the most money anyway.
My brother is the commander of the investigation team, and the only heir to the Chamber of Commerce is his daughter. How can the Sterling family suffer any loss?
It took some time to complete the staffing work.
Ansel walked down the gangway with a stern face. He handed the smiling Chamber of Commerce managers who gathered around him to the leader of the logistics team for reception, and then he boarded the high-speed airship to Dondoruma alone.
He couldn't wait to go home and see his precious daughter whom he hadn't seen for two years.
And depending on the situation, decide whether to give her a good beating.
East Doruma.
After finishing today's tutoring class, Fu Fu ran out of the study room cheering, and suddenly felt a chill.
He stopped suddenly and shuddered.
what happened? !
She looked around vigilantly but found nothing unusual.
"Strange." Fu Fu muttered.
I thought it was my mother hiding in the dark, ready to suddenly jump out and hit me or something.
Was she overthinking? No, her intuition was always accurate.
Some danger is approaching
Fu Fu arrived at the door of the restaurant trembling with fear. The waiter opened the door, but before she could see the figure at the table clearly, a familiar female voice reached her ears.
"My dear niece, why are you so sad?"
"Ah, aunt, good day!" Upon hearing this, Fu Fu quickly looked up and bowed like a lady to Jessica who was looking at her with interest.
Jessica nodded, motioning her to sit down, the waiter brought the dishes, and the two began to eat in silence.
Fu Fu's back was straight.
She didn't like dining alone with her aunt. Although her aunt had loved her since she was a child, she always felt like she couldn't relax in front of her aunt.
Unlike dining with grandparents, where you can be more casual, dining with mom doesn't matter as long as you finish the food on your plate, even if you eat with your feet.
"From the look on your face, 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 from Uncle Gordon that my father would be back soon, and I thought it would be next month.
How come it's here so soon?!
tomorrow?!
So this is actually the danger I feel?
It’s over. I’m really going to be captured and sent to the New World to open up new wasteland. This can’t go on!
Looking at her niece's rolling eyes, Jessica's smile became more obvious.
I wonder what interesting things this little girl, who seems quirky but is actually a little silly like her mother, will do.
At that time, what kind of expression will Ansel have?
Gordon reached out and rubbed Muti's head.
Suddenly, he felt that due to her height, it was particularly easy to rub his baby daughter's head, so he rubbed it a few more times, rubbing the little girl all over the place.
It was not until his wife slapped him on the back of his hand that Gordon withdrew his hand with a wry smile.
"Good night, my baby." Hayata gently hugged her daughter and kissed her cheeks and forehead.
"Goodnight, Mom. Goodnight, Dad~."
Muti was a little embarrassed. After responding softly, she walked up the stairs and ran back to her room on the second floor.
Although she doesn't talk much, looks mature and sensible, and is taller than many adults, she is, after all, just a little girl in her early teens.
Muti returned to his room and closed the door with a happy smile on his face.
The days that her parents are at home are the happiest days she has had in recent years.
"Knock! Knock!"
The sudden knock on the window startled Muti.
She turned her head and looked outside the window shrouded in the night. A blurry but familiar figure was waving at her.
Muti walked to the window helplessly and opened it. Fu Fu, who was clinging to the outside of the window, skillfully climbed over the windowsill, went into the room, and hugged her.
"It's over! Muti! Save me!"
"Eh, eh, eh? Sister Fufu?"
Fufu's face was filled with exaggerated panic, which made the honest child Muti at a loss, "What happened?"
Grabbing the water cup on the table and taking a few gulps, Fu Fu exhaled heavily and said with a heavy face, "My dad will be back tomorrow!
It was originally said to arrive next month!"
Muti was confused, "But isn't that a good thing?"
"No!"
Fufu said seriously, "That's a desperate situation!"
"Not really?" Muti felt that Fu Fu was exaggerating a bit.
In her impression, Uncle Ansil was indeed a serious and strict person, but he would not lose his temper easily and was very kind to them.
He is very capable in all aspects, whether in terms of strength or leadership. Grandpa Amos even said that he should take him as a role model. He is someone she respects very much.
"That's for you!" Fu Fu gritted her teeth, "Dad likes kids like you who are obedient, hardworking, and have clear life goals!
People like me who just want to get by will only get beaten by him!"
Muti didn't understand why Fu Fu had such an idea.
In her eyes, Fu Fu is much better than her.
Arithmetic, literature, art, etiquette. It seems like there is nothing in the world that she cannot learn.
As for me, apart from being taller and stronger than my peers, I don't have any special skills.
No matter how you think about it, Sister Fu Fu is more powerful, right?
".You don't understand." Fu Fu didn't know how to explain.
That's because I was educated by tutors very strictly since I was young, so I know a little bit about everything, but is there anything that I can really excel in?
It seems there isn't.
As a result, she herself couldn't figure out what she was good at and what she wanted to do in the future.
I am only fourteen years old! Logically, I still have a lot of time to hesitate and make choices.
But he happened to have a guy like Muti who decided to be a hunter at the age of four, which made him seem very indecisive!
"Anyway, it's all your fault! You have to help me!" Fu Fu didn't know what to say for a moment and decided to play tricks.
Muti, who hadn't figured it out yet, was a little confused. "What help?"
"My mom said that if I continue to live my life aimlessly from day to day like I am now, my dad will take me to the New World to teach me personally.
I've traveled across the ocean, and there's no one I know over there, only an unkind father! I don't want to go there!"
"Well, why don't you just tell Uncle Ansil that you don't want to go?" Muti suggested in confusion.
"It's not that simple!" Fu Fu pouted. "If I could just not go if I didn't want to, I wouldn't have such a headache."
Muti felt that Fu Fu was overthinking the problem, but seeing how confident Fu Fu was, he thought that maybe he was just thinking too simply.
"What should we do then?" Muti, who was of a passive character, decided not to express his opinions.
"I want my dad to feel that I am not just wasting my time, but I have a clear goal to strive for!"
"Yeah!" Muti nodded vigorously.
She thought it was good to have a goal to work towards.
"But this goal is fake, so I can't really get myself into it!"
"what?"
"For example, I can't just go and tell my mom that I want to be a hunter, or she will really send me to a training camp, and that would be a disaster."
"But, but why not set a real goal?" Muti puzzled.
Fu Fu answered seriously, "Because I really am a person who lives one day at a time."
"."
Muti, who was after all just a little girl, was confused.
Fu Fu continued, "It would definitely not work if I told my dad that I like literature, music, art, etc. He wouldn't believe it if he asked the tutors about it.
I can’t say that I like business, because then I would fall into my aunt’s hands.
After much thought, the best approach is to say that I want to be a hunter.
But! I can't say this to my mother. Life in the training camp is like being in prison. I can't live like that under her watchful eyes.
The only way is to jump out of the training camp system and become someone's 'disciple'!"
Muti nodded in confusion.
Of course she knew what the so-called "disciple" was. It was a hunter training system that was more traditional than the training camp, and passed on skills in the form of "master and apprentice".
Both my parents learned this way, and my mother was a disciple of Grandpa Amos.
But does it make any difference?
Fu Fu revealed her true intentions and said slyly, "Can you talk to your parents for me?
Whether it's Uncle Gordon or Aunt Hayata, if I can become a disciple of either of them, my dad will probably let me go, right?
I know that uncles and aunts are very busy and it is impossible for them to take a newbie 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.
Given Mom and Dad's personalities and the relationship between the two families, it wouldn't be difficult for them to accept Sister Fu Fu as their disciple.
But the question is, is Uncle Ansil so easy to fool?
Early next morning.
Gordon and his friend were not surprised that Fu Fu came uninvited to their table.
The two families live not far from each other, and this child has sneaked over to eat for free more than once or twice. Her mother sometimes comes too.
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 basket full of bread.
Hayata served Fufu the same small portion as Muti, which almost made her vomit.
After trying hard to swallow two-thirds of it, Fu Fu gave Gordon and Hayata a sweet, flattering smile.
Gordon grinned.
Hayata put down the cutlery in her hand and pinched Fufu’s cheek: “You are so shameless, you look exactly like your mother.
If you can't eat, don't force yourself to eat. What do you want to ask us for? "
"Hehehe" Fu Fu scratched her head and smiled foolishly.
Gordon knocked on the table and said, "Stop laughing now. I've learned a lesson from your mother: the more you laugh, the more devious your thoughts are.
What tricks are you going to play this time? Tell me first."
"cough"
Fu Fu 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 with his hand, choking back the rest of Fu Fu's sentence.
“You are not physically gifted enough, and my style is not suitable for you, although this is not the point.
We will be returning to the border soon, which is not a suitable place for an apprentice to learn and hone his skills, so I cannot promise you."
That couldn’t be better!
Fu Fu screamed in her heart, but of course, she couldn’t say that directly.
Hayata didn't refuse as bluntly as Gordon did. She was a thoughtful person and considered the issue from more angles.
"Didn't Gale say you didn't want to be a hunter? Why did you suddenly change your mind?
If you want to learn to be a hunter, your mother would be happy to teach you herself, didn't you tell her?"
Fu Fu opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain, so she looked at 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 turned their eyes together.
Now, Gordon, who hadn't thought much about it at first, also realized something was wrong. "There are lobbyists? What does that mean? Why do I feel like you have other intentions?"
Hayata raised his eyebrows and looked at the two hesitant girls carefully, "Why do you suddenly want to become our disciples?
Hmm, it seems your father is going to Dondoruma today, could it be related to this incident?"
"Hahaha, you're not thinking that with us as a shield, Ansel won't take you to the New World, right?" Gordon laughed.
"." Fu Fu looked away guiltily.
Hayata was also stunned. "Is this really the reason? What's wrong with your brain?"
Seeing that her "plot" was exposed, Fu Fu stopped hiding it. She hugged Hayata's arm and started to act coquettishly.
"Aunt Hayata, please help me, I don't want to go to the New World."
Hayata rubbed the girl's head with amusement, "You don't like the New World so much? That's where you were born.
When I brought you back by boat, you cried so hard."
Fu Fu pouted and whispered, "It's not that I don't like it, it's mainly because my familiar family, friends, and teachers are all here. If I suddenly have to leave and go to another land across the ocean, no one would be happy."
Gordon and Hayatta looked at each other.
It took a lot of determination on their part back then to finally decide to abandon everything in the Old World and join the investigation team.
The same choice is indeed too cruel for a pampered 14-year-old girl. (A rich second-generation junior high school girl is sent to develop Africa?)
Gordon groaned.
During the vacation, he gradually learned about Fu Fu's situation from Gail, Jessica, and Muti.
What does this kid say?
Thanks to genes from his parents, top educational resources and other factors, he has almost grown into an all-rounder without realizing it.
Is it because she has no opinion that she can't find the future direction? No, it's because she has too many paths to choose from.
Jessica, who led Fu Fu's education, also had direct ideas.
It doesn't matter if she is a scholar or an artist, just choose a path. It doesn't matter whether she can achieve success or not. After twenty or thirty years, when Fu Fu is mature and she is almost old enough, it will be the right time to hand over the burden of the Chamber of Commerce to her.
This was the life trajectory Jessica had planned for her.
And perhaps the reason why Ansel took her to the New World was to let her experience a wider world and provide her with more opportunities for freer choices.
From this perspective, stopping Ansel from taking her to the New World might not be the right choice.
Not to mention, this is essentially someone else's family affair.
"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 Mutti ran to open it consciously.
Soon, a familiar voice came from the hallway, "Hey! Are you little Muti? You've grown so big?! You're almost as big as my...
How the hell is he taller than me?!"
Hearing this voice, Gordon and Hayata couldn't help but smile.
Fu Fu even ran out cheering, "It's Sister Feng Ying!"
"Ahahaha! Fu Fu has grown up too! Fortunately, fortunately, there is finally someone who is not taller than me.
Master Gordon! Sister Hayata! I’m here! "
Feng Ying hooked her arm around the two little girls' shoulders and came into the living room laughing and giggling, not looking like an elder at all.
Feng Ying gave Gordon and Hayata a tight hug and seemed particularly excited. She was in a very good mood.
"Where's that guy Anxiel? He only arrived in the afternoon? Hey, forget about him!
I came here in a hurry and didn’t prepare any gifts. Is there anything you two little ones want?
Everyone can make a wish! "
Honest Muti shook his head, but Fu Fu rolled her eyes.
But she remembered that this "Sister Fengying", who looked only a few years older than her, was also a super master hunter.
He immediately hugged Feng Ying's legs like a snake and repeated his request to be her disciple.
Feng Ying was not like Gordon and the others who were hesitant and agreed to everything right away.
"No problem! From now on you are my 'Master Bai Feng's' disciple!
You can continue to stay in Dondoruma and slack off, or you can travel around the world with me to broaden your horizons, or you can come back and slack off for a while, it’s all up to you!
If your dad disagrees, I will talk to him!
At worst, we can sneak away."
"Great!" Fu Fu cheered.
Gordon Hayata looked at each other again.
This intruder completely disrupted Ansel and Jessica's plans.
