Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 492 - 275: I Am Naturally Greedy

"Teacher Jino, how do you think of my technique?"

Jino’s nose tingled, and he subconsciously retorted:

"For you, this is indeed quite an advancement."

This was the highest praise he could give.

Louis didn’t make it difficult for him.

He just smiled and waved the weapon in his hand, saying:

"I hope everything goes smoothly on the way to Tunisia."

Jino laughed and said:

"What unexpected things could possibly happen?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Though only two years had passed, the overall situation of the Ense Empire had improved significantly.

The most dangerous times were over, and prosperity reigned throughout the empire.

Most of the empire’s monsters and specters had retracted their claws, fearing to become the next target of the empire’s might.

He didn’t believe anyone would dare to challenge the empire at this time.

Louis immediately stopped him, saying:

"Please, teacher, you shouldn’t say things like that. In my hometown, those who speak like this often encounter misfortune."

Jino burst out laughing:

"Do you really believe in such superstitions?"

Louis said earnestly, "I just want peace of mind."

...

It wasn’t long before the scheduled time for Louis and Olivia’s journey.

In front of the teleportation array, Beatrice carefully adjusted his collar, then walked over to the little swan, gently rubbing her head, saying:

"This time, listen to Louis and Lumi in everything, don’t wander off alone."

The little swan pouted and said:

"I know, I’m quite capable now, why are you so worried?"

Beatrice said sternly:

"It’s precisely because you think that way that I worry."

She looked at Louis and said:

"Take care of my sister."

Louis nodded.

After speaking, the two didn’t linger and embarked into the teleportation array with the traveling party.

...

[Location: Tunisian Republic · Royal Capital]

Several days had passed since Louis and his party left the empire.

They were unable to head to the capital immediately as before.

Olivia had received an invitation to visit a large Mage Tower in central Tunisia to inspect the completion of a digital moisture transport model.

Upon hearing this, Louis decided to join her.

The digital moisture transport model was part of the Giant River Project.

Its initial intention was to efficiently predict weather changes in surrounding areas by controlling atmospheric currents through magical means.

The first phase of the Giant River Project had commenced.

In the Ense Empire, the White Tower had long known the empire’s plans for the coming years and prepared the digital moisture transport model in advance.

However, Louis hadn’t expected Tunisia to act so swiftly.

Usually, when two countries work together, reaching full agreement often takes time and negotiation.

But they completed the task faster than Louis imagined.

So much so that they remained in the central Tunisian Mage Tower for several days before finally arriving at the capital.

Soon after arriving in the capital, Louis received a message from Lord Rom.

"Sir, everything has been arranged for you here."

At this time, Louis, staying in a hotel, had already changed into Mayer’s attire, and said to Lord Rom:

"Well done."

This time in Tunisia, he once again assumed dual identities.

But unlike his previous trip with Beatrice’s group,

Mayer Commerce Association hadn’t initiated national-level commercial cooperation with Tunisia yet.

Therefore, it was inconvenient for him to travel with His Highness the Prince under the Mayer identity.

Moreover, the group traveling with him was relatively small.

If just one person was missing, it would be noticeable to others.

To prevent any clever individuals from linking Mayer’s true identity with Louis, he had Lord Rob forge evidence of his activities in another small country.

He also arranged for a body double to impersonate him, transported to Tunisia from that small country.

This way, "Mr. Mayer" as a private identity arrived in Tunisia’s lands, without attracting unnecessary attention associated with Louis’s group.

But what he didn’t expect was that as soon as he arrived, he received a letter from Joseph Williams sent to his residence.

The little swan tried to peek at the letter sent by Williams.

Louis blocked her face with a palm, pushing her back.

"Don’t mess around, I need to see what’s going on."

This time, they were staying at a hotel that specialized in receiving VIP guests.

Recently, Louis had been making fixed investments with his earnings.

As Mayer, he applied at the real estate center in the Tunisian capital, hoping for a place to stay here.

When the Williams Family learned about this, they offered their assistance.

Ultimately, through complex and meticulous means, he acquired a dilapidated Count’s family mansion.

After acquiring it, Louis arranged for the local Mayer Commerce Association manager to renovate the mansion.

When Louis arrived, he used the excuse that he had arrangements with "Mr. Mayer" to stay in the continuously maintained mansion.

What surprised him was that Joseph Williams hadn’t immediately contacted him, but chose to reach out to Mayer first.

Joseph couldn’t possibly know Mayer’s true identity, but his eagerness suggested he needed a favor.

Sure enough, upon opening the letter, he saw a line of text.

"Dear Mr. Mayer,"

"Previously, His Highness the Prince enthusiastically introduced you to me as a distinguished figure in the commercial domain."
