Fairy Tail: I Created the Magical Internet

Chapter 53

Jiu De saw his daughter Lucy's signature on the two IOUs.

As a father, he naturally recognized his daughter's handwriting.

But the content of the IOU surprised him a little.

Lucy bought two zodiac keys from the wizard in front of him at a price of 8 million J each.

Sagittarius and Virgo!

Jiu De couldn't help frowning at this.

It's not that he didn't approve of the deal, nor that he thought the price was too expensive.

On the contrary, as there are only 12 zodiac keys in the world, the price of one is only 8 million J...

What's the difference between this and giving it away for free?

"Your name is Knight, right?"

Jiu De raised his head and stared at Knight with the scrutiny of an elder.

"Lucy is the daughter of Heartfilia. She is different from ordinary people and lives in a different world. I hope you can understand this."

Understand what?

Nate didn't hear "three three three" and understood what Jiude was saying.

It felt strange that the other party suddenly said this after reading the IOU.

"I am very grateful to you for bringing Lucy back. I will give you ten times the amount of the IOU! 160 million J!"

Jiude's face was calm, and 160 million seemed to be nothing in his mouth.

Hearing this, Knight couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Sure enough, Jiude continued to talk about the following:

"I have decided to let Lucy marry the young master of the Qiu Renier family."

"Through this, the Heartfilia Railway Company will be able to consolidate its territory in the south and completely control the operating railways throughout the Kingdom of Fiore!"

These words should not be said to an outsider.

After all, the marriage between the two families has not been finalized.

But in Jiude's opinion, Knight's relationship with his daughter is a bit unusual, and it looks a bit like they are in love.

It's better to make it clear.

Of course, he is not a demon, and the other party will not have any objections to using 160 million J in compensation.

This time, Knight understood and understood what Jiude wanted to express.

Sure enough, the marriage has begun.

If he didn't bring Lucy back today, maybe after a while, the other party would issue a commission to the ghost and force Lucy to go home.

From an outsider's perspective, Knight felt that Jiude's father was a bit awkward.

On the one hand, he hoped that Lucy would marry him and make the family go further through marriage.

On the other hand, in the original plot, after Lucy refused in person, he actually gave up.

There was no intention to force Lucy at all.

So it seemed very awkward.

Knight couldn't help but guess that after Lucy refused, Jiude probably rejected the man's family, which led to a conflict between the two sides.

In the end, for some reason, the company went bankrupt and the Heartfilia chaebol collapsed overnight.

To be honest, Knight felt a little sympathetic towards this father. He was good at business, but not at maintaining the father-daughter relationship.

"Mr. Jiude, I suddenly feel that Lucy is already an adult, and it is better for her to repay her debts herself."

Knight snatched the IOU back with a smile:

"As for your family affairs, I don't want to get involved. The purpose of my visit this time has been explained before, just to discuss a matter..."

Bang!

"I don't agree."

The door of the study was pushed open, and Lucy stepped in with a serious expression.

"Lucy?"

Jiude frowned, looking at his daughter still wearing the same clothes she came in, feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart.

How could Heartfilia's daughter be dressed so poorly?

Lucy walked in front of him step by step, facing Jiude's dissatisfied eyes.

"Father!"

"I am so sorry for leaving this house without saying anything."

"I have deeply reflected on this."

Lucy first apologized for running away from home, then changed the subject, looked sharp and spoke with full momentum:

"Just now outside the door, I have heard what you said, but please allow me to refuse!"

"I will not agree to the marriage, my happiness is not determined by others, please do not decide my marriage for me without authorization!"

Jiu De showed a shocked expression on his face.

It was the first time he saw his daughter so "brave" to express her opinion to him.

Has this year of running away from home made her grow up? (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Lucy took a deep breath and continued:

"I admit that it was wrong for me to run away from home. Running away from this home is no different from escaping."

"Therefore, I will explain it to you this time."

"Father, I came back this time just to pay tribute to my mother, and then I will leave here!"

"You don't have to come to me, I will work hard to live alone!"[]

"What I want is not Lucy Heartfilia, not endless money and beautiful clothes."

"I just want to live as Lucy!"

"Well, sorry, father..."

Finally, Lucy bowed slightly to Jiude with the etiquette of a lady she had learned since childhood, and then turned around and left resolutely.

She also pulled Knight along.

"Let's go, Knight!"

For such a strong Lucy, Knight had no choice but to obey her.

Lucy, a mere figure, actually had a heroic moment.

After complaining in his heart, Knight spread his hands to Jiude who was still in shock, his eyes seemed to express:

See, your daughter is very strong, and your marriage plan seems to be ruined.

Bang!

As the door of the study was closed again, JiudeHe stood there for a long time before sighing.

He walked to the window and looked at the gate, waiting quietly for a moment.

Sure enough, Lucy took Knight out of the villa and headed towards her mother's tombstone.

Watching the two walk away silently, Jiude sat back at the desk in silence and took out a photo frame from the drawer.

The photo shows a family of three.

Lucy in the photo is still very young, with a happy smile on her face, and her mother holding her hand.

"Forget it... She is 17 years old, let her go."

Jiude put the photo frame back, leaned back, leaned against the back of the chair tiredly, and closed his eyes with a frown.

What should Heartfilia Railway Company do next?

If I reject the Qiu Renier family, will it cause dissatisfaction on the other side?

If the southern railway cannot be consolidated as soon as possible, the astronomical amount of money invested in the initial stage will not be recovered, and the chain reaction caused by this...

Behind the glamorous Heartfilia Financial 5.0 Valve, there are already many dangers.

It's like a cruise ship heading for an iceberg.

Jiu De was thinking about how to break the deadlock. He thought about it for more than half an hour, but he couldn't think of a foolproof plan.

Suddenly.

A voice sounded in the study.

"It seems that you are in big trouble."

Jiu De opened his eyes, his eyes were astonished.

The person standing in front of the desk turned out to be Lucy's boyfriend.

"Have you finished paying respects to Leila's tombstone?"

At this time, Jiude's attitude was much friendlier, "Where's Lucy?"

"She's still there. I came back first."

While answering, Knight took out a second-generation ring from his pocket and placed it on the desk, then chuckled and said:
