Thank you two for protecting my daughters.”

This is the first sentence Old Holkin said after seeing Yiming and Icefish.

"You're welcome, it should."

Yi Ming shrugged, he didn't tell any lies.

"To be honest, I didn't expect this kind of danger at all, I was really careless."

After noticing that Brenda closed the door and left, Old Holkin sat down seriously and said to the two of them.

"Although I had guessed that things were not simple, I didn't expect that the Kingdom of Commerce would do such a behavior... This made me very uneasy. The President of Olds Chamber of Commerce has always been scheming, but he didn't expect that he would count me in this time. If it weren't for Lord Yiming and Miss Ice Fish, I really didn't know what to do."

"The President of Olds Chamber of Commerce is not simpler than you think."

Yi Ming also replied with a serious expression.

"I can see that he had judged that the kingdom of Marco was exhausted, so he sold the other party to us very readily. To be honest, he is really a very tricky guy. From my point of view, if he can, he doesn't even want to deal with him again."

"That's what I'm worried about."

Old Holgin also frowned slightly in snow-white brows.

"On the surface, this time he sold a favor to me and you. But God knows when he will use this to threaten us to do something. I am old. But the President of Olds Chamber of Commerce is in his prime. If nothing unexpected happens, then when my son faces him in the future, I am really worried that he will suffer."

Impressed the old Hallkind worry. Impressed it. As a friend, little Holkin is worthy of a gift. But from the perspective of politicians and businessmen, he is still a little lacking. He is cautious in everything and has to figure out everything. He is not as experienced as Old Holkind in terms of qualifications. People with such serious personality can easily fall into a trap. When making their own judgments, if they change their position with Xiao Holkin and Immediate, he will not be as safe as Immediate.

"………Mr. Yiming. It is useless for us to consider this issue now. The reason why I invite you here is that there are other important things to report to you."

"About the federal invasion of the empire?"

Yi Ming smiled slightly.

"I believe Mayalie should be solved perfectly, right?"

"No, it's true..."

Old Holkin smiled helplessly. Indeed, when he received the notice last night, he was extremely nervous. But as the night passed, the news that Old Holkin received again completely dissipated a trace of darkness in his heart. In fact, Old Holkin was not not worried about his choice, but he would not show it like his own son. Even if he was really anxious inside, he had to show stability and trust, but now, he understood that his choice was indeed correct.

"The problem is not here, but afterwards."

"after?"

Yi Ming raised his eyebrows in surprise, and Ice Fish sat upright, looking at Old Holkin quietly and seriously.

"Yes, we revealed a message on the Fieldney Intelligence Network. Just this morning, Fieldney formally submitted a letter to the Empire."

“……………?”

Not sure at all.

It is no wonder that with Yiming's geographical knowledge, he is quite familiar with the neighboring countries in his territory, but they all belong to his cognitive scope. However, even so, he could hear the hidden meaning of the old Hallkind. As soon as the battle of the Federation ended, the country named Fieldney submitted a letter to the empire, and the timing was a bit too coincidental.

"You mean there is something wrong with it?"

"perhaps."

Old Holkin nodded.

"Mr. Yiming, you may not know much about Fieldney's situation. There is no normal exchange between it and our country. It can even be said that Fieldney is quite hostile to our country. As a country based on magic civilization, Fieldney has never appreciated our country's open attitude towards magic art. They believe that magic should be the privilege of some nobles, not the patent of ordinary people. Therefore, our country has few contacts with Fieldney. I'm afraid that no one will have any ghosts in it after the federal attack."

“………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Yi Ming stood up and probably judged that he could not get any useful things.

"There is another small thing, Lord Yiming..."

At this moment, Old Holkin also stood up, but unlike before, his expression was a little subtle.

However, Yi Ming seemed to know what he was thinking.

"I won't be close to Brenda. I advise you to find a good family to marry her soon. Although there shouldn't be too in-depth evaluation of other people's parenting policies, I honestly think your spoiling is dangerous."

"I know this very well myself."

It seemed that Yi Ming had pointed out his weakness, and Old Holkin showed a hard smile that he had never had before.

"Although I can make up my mind to educate my son, I love my daughter very much. In this regard, I may not be called a qualified businessman. Originally, I should have let her understand her survival value. But, no matter what, that child is,

My wife exchanged her treasure for her life, so I am just a simple and blessed person. Now it seems that this kind of happiness may become a kind of pain for her."

"A good reference, and it's very useful to me."

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Yi Ming smiled and touched the ice fish's head.

“………………………………… Yes, if Igyu wants to get married, a man who doesn’t get my approval will die miserably.”

Although she was a little disgusted with the title of "Dad", Yi Ming was still a qualified protector. However, Ice Fish didn't seem to appreciate it. She moved her body slightly, and with a hint of dissatisfaction, she avoided Yi Ming's outstretched hand. Then...

"I don't marry anyone except my dad."

A declaration was issued seriously.

"………………Well."

“Ah hahahaha……”

Compared to Yi Ming, who looked embarrassed, Old Holkin laughed as if he had seen something happy.

"That's right, that's right. My daughter also said this to me when she was a child. It's great. Lord Yiming, Miss Bingyu seems to have a deep affection for you?"

“Haa……”

Yi Ming had no choice but to spread his hands helplessly and shrugged his shoulders.

"So, Lord Yiming, this is my last request."

After laughing, Old Holkin retracted his smile again and turned into a serious expression again.

"I think you already know very well why our Holkin family supports you. I just want to dare to make a request to you, hoping that you and Lord Mayali will support our Holkin family when you need help in the future. Perhaps, I cannot live to see that day, but if my children do something stupid, I hope that you and Lord Mayali can take my place and guide them well. At the cost, I will let the Holkin family support all your actions."

“……………………”

Yi Ming's expression also became solemn.

No matter what, this is too unknown.

Even if Old Holgin is old, he should have at least more than ten years of life to live in such a place. So, why would he say such an unlucky entrustment now?

"I see."

In the end, Yi Ming nodded.

"Then, I'll go prepare the carriage now. Lord Yiming, Miss Ice Fish, please wait a moment..."

"No need, if you have ice fish here, it only takes one or two days to return to Azus City from here. You have to be careful all the way. After all, we can't determine what President Olds Chamber of Commerce is thinking so far. If he attacks you, the largest family of Yulia, in order to dismantle the empire, then things will become very dangerous."

"Haha, please don't worry, Lord Yiming."

Old Hallkind smiled very calmly.

"After all, I have also experienced so many storms and storms. I still have this level of danger. What I fear is nothing but unforeseen danger."

It was not until Yiming and Ice Fish disappeared that Old Holkin breathed a sigh of relief and then sat back on the chair.

Yes, as a businessman, you always have the awareness of facing danger. Whether it is commercial fraud, assassination, robbery or stealing from thieves, these are all difficulties that can be solved. The most feared thing is that when danger comes, you have lost the power to solve the problem. Or, by that time, you are no longer there.

As his own son, although little Holkin had come into contact with many merchants, he became increasingly mature. But for him, everything went too smoothly. Occasional failure was not fatal enough. All of this was because of the status of the Holkin family. Although he was a smart child, he did not have a sense of crisis that the family might be destroyed at all, which was the part that old Holkin cared most.

If Yi Ming said that, he should be able to take good care of that stupid child on his behalf.

Through the contact with Yi Ming again and again, Old Holkin already understood very well that the other party was not just a promising young man. He did not have the domineering nature of young people, and seemed to like to let things go. He had no extravagant desires, and did not value power and status. He did it simply because this position was more beneficial to his life. If not, it seemed to be okay for him. This kind of optimism and detachment surprised Old Holkin. Even if he had experienced countless years of hardships, he would feel a little sad to give up everything, but the man was obviously not like this.

If you ask him, you can definitely make your family prosperous.

Old Holkin thought so and picked up the wine glass in front of him.

“………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

At this moment, Yi Ming, who walked out of the door, suddenly broke the silence and said something without a head or tail, which surprised the ice fish.

"Dad? What did you say?"

"No, I'm just thinking about the possibility of conquering the world."

Yi Ming shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless expression.

"Look, Ice Fish, this time we went out, we had trouble one after another. Why is this?

|Simple, we are people from the Leah Empire, and we have strong (and will cause damage to the interests of other countries. And in our lifetime, we may be afraid that such boring troubles will follow one after another. Isn’t all the causes of all this caused by conflicts of interests between countries? Just like the territorial issues of the Federation and the Empire, these troubles are always inevitable. In this case, we should just raise our spirits and unify the entire continent into a country. In this way, not only will there be no conflicts between countries, but we will have much less troubles. I finally understand the ideas of those who try to conquer the world."

"But, that's hard."

Bingyu looked at Yi Ming and expressed his own opinion.

"Yes, that's also very troublesome. What I fear most is that when our hair turns white and the world has not been unified yet, then this life will be wasted. After all, reality is not a game, and there are so many problems to be dealt with."

Speaking of this, Yi Ming scratched his head and gave up his thoughts readily.

Everyone regards conquering the world as a bad thing, so is conquering the world really that bad?

No, conquering the world itself has no distinction between good and bad.

It’s just that everyone and every country have the desire to conquer the world. So, all they can’t tolerate is the fact that they are conquered by others. It’s like a child’s temper, just unwilling to give up what originally belonged to them. This most basic instinctive reaction is the biggest obstacle to conquering the world. Originally, if a country tries to conquer the whole world, then it goes to find another country and says I want to unify the world and merge it. The other party will definitely not agree, and will reject it with the argument that “why are you, I can conquer the world too”. Then start the battle, and in the end, you may win, or lose, or both lose. But so what, just don’t want the other party’s ideal to realize this instinct will continue.
