"When did you come back?"

"I went to the island this morning."

"Did you have a smooth journey?"

"With Philippa bringing so many ships to escort us, it was bound to go smoothly. We even set the schedule several days earlier," Shannara said with a smile.

On the other side, Philippa, who was feeding the parrot, looked over and pounded her chest with her fist.

Shannella continued, "You also know about the Star Flower incident. In order to save the Chamber of Commerce's reputation, I am still the president on paper, but I no longer have real power. After a while, this identity will be revoked with a reason."

"It's okay. Our family is big and wealthy. Even if you do nothing, I will support you." Wu Heng said.

The maids opened their eyes wide and looked at Shannara in unison as if they were watching a play.

The latter blushed and glared at Wu Heng, "You can't stay at home every day."

"Treasure Island is so big, it's hard to find something to do." Wu Heng said.

Minnie also asked, "Sister Shannella, can we live together from now on? We don't have to come here secretly every day."

"How can it be done secretly?" Shannara said, but she still said, "It's not possible now. I will just move in. It will be useless for the Chamber of Commerce to maintain my title of Honorary President. On the surface, it is just some business cooperation with the Island Lord's Mansion."

"Oh! Your people are so nosy." Minnie muttered.

Speaking of the wood elves, Philippa seemed to have thought of something and said in a tell-all tone, "When we were on the island, some people from Shannara's tribe blocked our way. If I hadn't been there, they wouldn't have let us go!"

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, "On the island, is there anyone who dares to bully you?"

"It's not bullying. The agreement I reached with the elders is to give up all the assets of the Chamber of Commerce, but the assets on Treasure Island are all mine and have nothing to do with them. I just need them to check it out." Shannara explained.

Philippa said, "You are just too easy to talk to. If I go up to him, I will slap him twice and see if he dares to trouble me next time."

Shannella said calmly, "They are just following orders. The Chamber of Commerce wouldn't really just be interested in one property."

"Remember to tell me if you have any trouble." Wu Heng said.

"I know~!" Shannara gave him a look full of tenderness.

Then, Shannara continued, "The Star Flower fleet came this time and brought the supplies you ordered last time, including five large warships. I saw the order, and someone will come to you to deliver the goods in the next two days."

"When the goods arrive, Andviel will go to inspect them. Philippa, you go to inspect the ordered ships tomorrow." Wu Heng instructed.

"Okay." Philippa nodded.

Wu Heng looked at Shannara and said, "Don't leave tonight."

Shannella's cheeks turned even redder and she nodded.

……

late at night.

Shannella curled up in his arms.

There was a blush on her face that had not yet faded.

"You miss me so much?"

"If you don't come back, I will go to the wood elves to find you." Wu Heng hugged her again.

Soft and smooth, filling the chest.

Shannella took away the other's moving hands and asked, "Did you come up with the newspaper?"

"Yeah, it works pretty well on the island."

"I didn't realize you were so good at promoting yourself. Your idea is indeed good and can prepare you for level 18." Shannara praised with a smile.

"It seems that the newspaper is indeed good to be recognized by President Shannella."

Shannella bit his chest lightly and said angrily, "I don't even have any real power, so why mention the president?"

"I will support you from now on, and everything will be no worse than before."

Shannella buried her head in her arms again, "I really feel a little empty and depressed after handing over the Star Flower that I have managed for so long."

Wu Heng stroked the man's hair and said softly, "Why don't you become the president of Treasure Island? You will have the final say over the entire caravan."

Shannella stuck her head out and said with a smile, "It's not that easy to establish a caravan. The other caravans are already famous. If you want to join them now, you will lose a lot of money. Besides, there are no resources to show for it."

Treasure Island is just an island. Although its territory is relatively large, there are large areas that have not been developed.

But it is an island after all.

Many resources need to be purchased from outside.

There are no unique resources of our own that can be supplied to the outside world.

Moreover, as Shannara said, if we set up a caravan now, we might be suppressed by others.

On Treasure Island, people give in to you.

When you go out as a merchant, no one will give way to you.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, "Let me see if I have any unique products. Then we can discuss it in detail."

"Okay, you have the final say." Shannara looked up at me with a doting look on her face.

He also reached out and touched his head.

Wu Heng took her hand away and patted her plump buttocks, "Lift it up a little."

As he said this, he turned over and folded him on his back.

"You're still here? It's so late."

Wu Heng patted him again, “You usually stay up late anyway, so hurry up.”

Shannella moved her upper body back and tilted it slightly upwards.

……

The next day, have breakfast.

Shannara returned to her own quarters to deal with the remaining issues.

Wu Heng also took a carriage to the association.

He walked through the hall and corridor, stood in the deacon's study, and knocked on the door.

After getting a response.

Opened the door and walked in.

"Looking for me?" Wu Heng asked.

Xilagui, who was behind the desk, looked up and said, "Luan and his master left yesterday. They should have left after the competition. I haven't received any news from here."

"So urgent?"

"Yes, and it's very secret." Xilagui thought for a moment and said, "I plan to write a letter to the association and tell the whole story to prevent other versions from spreading in the headquarters."

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows.

I understand what Xilagui means.

From the look in Luan's eyes when he finished speaking, there was a sense of dissatisfaction.

Then he left quietly, obviously there was some problem.

Wu Heng was not afraid. He was competing openly and not afraid of what the other party would say.

But Xi Lagui's idea was also right. If she told the association everything, everyone would naturally understand what happened.

"Okay, then you write a letter to the association, and I'll write one to Deacon Imiro."

"Write a letter to Deacon Imiro?"

"Isn't McIntosh in charge of intelligence work? When the two of them went to the island, she used her ability as a prophet to conduct some investigations and found that the two mentioned Imiro in their conversation, so it would be better to tell them." Wu Heng explained.

"Okay." Xilagui began to write.

Shi Yali also brought paper and pen to Wu Heng.

After they finished writing, they looked at each other's work again to confirm that there were not many differences.

After sealing the letter, Shi Yali took it to the front desk.

It can be sent out today.

……

in the afternoon.

Wu Heng returned to the island owner's mansion.

He handed the written content about yesterday's duel to the skeleton in charge of printing, "Rearrange the layout of the new issue of the newspaper, put this picture and content in the most prominent position, reduce the other content, print it tonight, and send it out tomorrow."

The skeleton took over the content and began to layout it.

The printing press began to make a clattering sound, and newspapers were printed one after another.

The ghost Grenda appeared, "You are going to let everyone know about this."

"Xi Lagui's suspicion is reasonable. I will publish the details of the duel and send some to other places. Then everyone will know what happened. If he didn't make up anything, it would be a normal failure in the duel. If he made up something, he would be a loser who is narrow-minded and confuses right and wrong."

"You're becoming more and more like a necromancer."

"It doesn't seem like you're complimenting me."

……

the next day.

In the early morning, the newsman took the newspaper in his hand and shouted loudly, "The fourth issue of the newspaper, the identity of the challenger is revealed, he is the prince of a neighboring country, come and see, come and buy..."

With the shouting, the whole Treasure Island seemed to become lively ahead of time.

It turns out that the person who challenged me has this identity.

The prince, another candidate supported by the association, was defeated in Treasure Island.

There was a long line in front of the newsagent.

Newspapers were sold one by one.

……

port.

Piles and bundles of sealed newspapers were loaded onto different ships.

"These are sent to various associations. Be careful and keep them in a dry place."

Amid the shouting, newspapers were loaded onto the merchant ship.

The associations were transported to various parts of the Emerald Sea on different ships.

……

Inside the tavern.

The bard Saban, after applying two positive statuses to himself.

Stride up to the platform.

He saluted first, then said loudly: "Everyone, before I tell you the story, let me first tell you about the fight. The challenger is quite an important figure..."

There was an instant of silence below, with everyone concentrating.
