Fairy Tail: I'm just an archaeologist
Chapter 74
Luxurious villas are scattered among the green fields, and from a distance it looks like a large town.
But this is not a town, but a courtyard, a private courtyard with an area large enough to build a town.
Heartfilia, a powerful consortium that can rival the wealth of the kingdom, is so rich.
In the gorgeous building on the mountainside, Jiude Heartfilia, the helmsman of the Heartfilia Consortium, turned down an important meeting and met an important guest at home.
The pure silver teapot was tilted slightly, and the fragrance of the tea overflowed and poured into the gorgeous vessel.
Jiude gently pushed the teacup to the guest's table.
"Mr. Xia Zuo, I have already bought those newspapers that slandered you. I have fired all the editors and related personnel who fabricated your stories and sent them to the judicial authorities. They will face the charge of accepting bribes next. No newspaper will dare to accept them in the future."
"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Jiude.
Xia Zuo didn't expect that before he even thought about cleaning up those newspapers, his partners had already sent them to jail.
"It's just a piece of cake. Who told them to be so blind that they dared to think of harming Heartfilia's partners?"
Jiude didn't care about those people from the newspaper, as if he had just killed a few ants. As the richest man, he had the ability and qualification to do so.
Xia Zuo sipped his tea silently. De must not have invited him to listen to such trivial matters.
Jiude played with the empty teacup in his hand and said in a relaxed tone:"Mr. Xia Zuo, the first batch of high-end PHS has been produced and has been snapped up by royal families and wealthy people from various countries."
"I asked Mr. Xia Zuo to come here to discuss the price of that batch of low-end PHS."
"By the way, distribute the dividends that belong to you, Mr. Xia Zuo."So
I was asked to distribute the money.
Xia Zuo looked at the dazzling string of zeros on the check that Jiude handed over, and his heart was in turmoil.
Although Xia Zuo was not short of money, who would refuse to multiply their savings several times?
Putting away the check, Xia Zuo returned to Jiude's previous sentence.
"The prices of those low-end models should be as close to the people as possible. The built-in calling magic of Xiaolingtong is unique now. We are the only one in the whole continent, so we should take the route of low price and high sales volume to capture the whole continent's market."
Jiude nodded. He thought so too. They only said a few words about work. Jiude changed the subject:"Mr. Xia Zuo, is my daughter Lucy happy in the guild?"
Xia Zuo smiled slightly. He knew that Jiude's real purpose was Lucy. The dividends could be transferred directly to Xia Zuo's account. There was no need to go through the trouble of checks.
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiude. Lucy has been doing well recently. She got two more golden keys in the past two days."
Xia Zuo informed Jiude of Lucy's recent situation. When he learned that his daughter still owed Xia Zuo money, he immediately said that he would pay it back for his daughter.
However, Xia Zuo rejected Jiude. The reason why Lucy ran away from home and concealed her identity as a rich lady was because of Jiude, her father.
If Lucy knew that it was her father who paid back the money for the Sagittarius key, she would definitely not accept it.
Jiude looked lost. It can be said that the estrangement between his daughter Lucy and him was caused by him, which eventually led to the mother and daughter running away from home.
Looking at Jiude's guilty and self-blaming expression, Xia Zuo could only say that it was his own fault.
A few years ago, Xia Zuo met Jiude at the introduction of an archaeological colleague to discuss cooperation in the production of PHS.
At that time, Jiude looked down on the archaeological industry, so he was very rude to Xia Zuo and said some unpleasant words. Xia Zuo's temper came up. and used the power of the [Sheep Talisman] to treat him to a"Self-Awareness Punch".
Originally, Xia Zuo wanted to use the [Sheep Talisman] to see if Jiude had any dirty deeds. After all, few businessmen are clean.
But Xia Zuo was surprised to find that Jiude was an alternative. He was a super workaholic. And behind this workaholic, Jiude was actually trying to numb the pain of his wife's death. Although he was affectionate
, after being beaten by Xia Zuo, Jiude sobered up and his attitude towards Xia Zuo was no longer crazy. He was also willing to listen to Xia Zuo's Xiaolingtong plan.
After seeing the prototype of Xiaolingtong, Jiude concluded that this was an epoch-making product, and decisively gave up the project that he was preparing to invest heavily at the time and switched to Xiaolingtong.
Fortunately, Jiude gave up the project he was preparing to invest in before. Xia Zuo heard that the consortium that took over that project had been scammed into bankruptcy.
"By the way, Mr. Jiude, why are you so opposed to Lucy becoming a magician?"Xia Zuo mentioned the source of the conflict between Jiude and Lucy, magic.
Jiude sighed, his expression full of pain.
It turned out that Jiude was a son-in-law who married into the Heartfilia family, and Lucy's mother Leila was a very powerful magician.
The two were very loving.
For the sake of the family, Leila even gave up her identity as a magician and became a virtuous wife. Jiude also managed the Heartfilia family business to a thriving level.
Soon the two had the fruit of their love, their daughter Lucy.
But the good times didn't last long, Jiude remembered that day deeply.
July 7, X777.
For unknown reasons, Lucy's mother used a magic that overdrew her body, and she passed away not long after, leaving behind only Jude and her ignorant daughter.
Before she died, Leila told Jude not to be sad, saying that she was sacrificing her life for the mission of the Heartfilia family.
But how could an ordinary person like Jude understand all this? He only knew that it was the damn magic that killed his wife, and that the damn mission might fall on his daughter Lucy.
In order for his daughter to live well, Jude made a decision that went against the ancestors of the Heartfilia family.
The family history and magic books were sealed up, and she was kept at home, not allowing her to have any chance to come into contact with magic. But even so... Still, Lucy inherited the Celestial Key left by Leila, and the heart that cherishes the spirits.
Because his daughter learned magic without permission, Jiude's attitude towards Lucy changed drastically, and the relationship between father and daughter became worse and worse.
It was not until his tyranny and unreasonableness forced Lucy to run away from home that Jiude realized his mistake.
When he knew that Lucy joined Fairy Tail, Jiude's first thought was to entrust other magic guilds to get his daughter back.
But when Jiude saw Xia Zuo's name in the Fairy Tail intelligence collected by his men, he gave up his idea.
Since he is powerless to stop his daughter from staying away from magic, he might as well let his daughter do what makes her happy.
"Mr. Xia Zuo, you said that Lucy now has 9 golden keys. It seems that she is getting closer to her mother.
Jiude, who has let go of his worries, smiled with relief.
"Excuse me, is Lucy's mother also a celestial wizard?"
"Of course."
Jiude smiled and recalled his first encounter with Leila. He encountered bandits on the road, and Leila, a beautiful woman, saved the hero. The two fell in love at first sight and entered the palace of marriage.
"The Aquarius Key was left by Leila to Lucy. Leila was the strongest celestial wizard who had a contract with the 12 golden celestial spirits."
"Only Anna, the missing ancestor of the Heartfilia family 400 years ago, can be compared with Leila."
"By the way, when Anna's ancestors disappeared, it was also July 7, the same day when Leila used that magic. What a coincidence."
Is it really a coincidence?
Xia Zuo had a feeling that the mission Leila mentioned had a lot to do with Anna's ancestors.
And it was 400 years ago. That era was becoming more and more mysterious.
