Opening an office in Taila

Chapter 284 Worries about the Future

Song Yufeng doesn't like things the way they are now.

This was the first thing Song Yufeng thought about when he sat down in his office chair.

He felt very passive, much more so than when he was in Ursus and Yan.

Song Yufeng dislikes being passive; he prefers to take the initiative.

At the same time, he realized that he seemed to have lost his mind and was too panicked. The main reason was that he had developed PTSD from being attacked by the Deep Sea Church during the final battle in Ursus. If it weren't for Jingyu and others putting in their efforts and Song Yufeng risking his life, they might have really failed.

This also caused Song Yufeng to lose his composure and panic whenever he heard that the Deep Sea Church had made a big move.

Deep Pool is not his tool after all; they have their own goals. Neither the Duke nor Raphsini behind them can allow Deep Pool to become Song Yufeng's possession.

As for Abrahana? Song Yufeng felt that as long as it could create chaos, he would agree to Abrahana no matter what.

Song Yufeng sighed. The most important thing now is to further arm Shenchi.

Just as Song Yufeng was pondering, the office door opened, and Song Yufeng looked up and smiled.

It is Xiao Jingyun.

It seems that the King's Staff has figured it out.

Upon seeing Song Yufeng, Xiao Jingyun's expression was priceless, a mixture of anger and, most importantly, embarrassment. Since that day, she had reflected deeply on the matter. If what Song Yufeng said was true, then her attitude towards her grandfather had indeed been excessive…

She felt guilty, thinking she had been immature back then, and also felt that Song Yufeng, as an outsider, was still willing to talk to her so much, and that she had even tried to hit him, though she hadn't actually won...

"Miss Xiao, come, come, please have a seat." Song Yufeng greeted her with a smile.

"Um, Mr. Song, I...I want to talk about what happened a few days ago..."

"Hey, we're all brothers. What's with all this 'yours' and 'mine' stuff? With your attitude like this, what am I supposed to say? It's okay, it's okay. Everyone gets hot-blooded sometimes, it's perfectly normal. Besides, you didn't know the whole story back then, I understand." Song Yufeng patted her shoulder and said.

This left Xiao Jingyun speechless. She still remembered Song Yufeng's appearance that day; he didn't seem like an easy person to talk to. She had prepared a lot of apologies for coming this time, but she didn't expect Song Yufeng to be so enthusiastic. For a moment, Xiao Jingyun didn't know what to say.

“Actually, I think it’s not enough for me to get involved alone. You have to go and see your grandfather in person,” Song Yufeng said seriously.

"But...I...I don't know how to face him...How is he now?"

“He’s doing well, at least he was before I left. He’s just getting old, and he misses you a lot. I still hope that at least in his later years, he can feel the warmth of family again. The same goes for you. In other words, the two of you are each other’s only family left in this world. They say blood is thicker than water, and the companionship of family is irreplaceable by anyone else,” Song Yufeng said.

Seeing Xiao Jingyun lower his head, Song Yufeng didn't continue, but instead asked, "So, what is the final answer to the King's Staff?"

Xiao Jingyun looked up, her eyes red-rimmed, but she quickly rubbed them and said, "We've decided to do as you say, but you have to promise us one more thing."

"What?"

"To restore Victoria's former glory."

"Who defines it? Or rather, to what extent should it be restored?"

"With the King on the throne, the whole of Victoria is united."

"I will do my best," Song Yufeng said. "Of course, your conflict with that Celestial Master will be wiped clean."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, this is what you deserve." Song Yufeng said, handing a stack of documents to Xiao Jingyun.

“This is the information I fabricated about Deep Pool. Just give this to Theresis.”

After Xiao Jingyun left, Hai Mao came down from upstairs.

"Hey, I've made a decision on my own to wipe the slate clean of your past conflicts with them," Song Yufeng said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter. I didn't hold a grudge against them much. It's kind of pathetic that a bunch of naive kids were pushed into positions they didn't belong in," Hai Mao said.

Song Yufeng didn't speak, but just nodded, then stared thoughtfully outside.

"So, what's your next step? The worry about the King's Staff is gone," Sea Cat asked.

“I think I should at least go to Lentinium, but I’ll go alone, to see what the situation is like there.”

“That’s easy. I’ll have some people meet you around Lentinium.”

"I thought you would offer to come with me."

"Instead of me going, let Lilina go with you. By the way, if you're going to the area around Lontinim, you can also look for Deep Pool. Maybe they'll let you meet the duke who supports them."
