When Ningzhe returned to Liyue, he heard that the executive of the Fools who was mentioned the most by the Seven Stars was not the "famous" [Master], nor the [Doctor] who was denounced as a "heretic" in the academic world, but

The [rich man] who has been hiding in the dark.

At the beginning, Ningzhe only knew that [Beiguo Bank] was an industry owned by fools, and did not know that the actual leader of this organization was the executive in charge of economics... But after he found out, he suddenly understood.

Why can [Beiguo Bank] maintain its foothold in Liyue?

Obviously, this [rich man]'s plan was all behind it... If Ningzhe hadn't caught the conclusive evidence that the fools were indeed teleported from the North Country Bank to the battlefield during the battle of Osel, the North Country Bank would probably still be in Li.

Within the moon harbor.

And by the same token, since he can achieve this level in Liyue, then in Daoqiu, who is not as powerful as Liyue...

"If it is really him, then the implementation of the determination at this time should no longer be under the control of the Hiiragi family."

After coming back to his senses, Ningzhe shook his head and said, his face was very calm, this kind of thing didn't seem to be beyond his expectation.

"That's right."

Ayato also nodded. With the talent and learning of the current head of the Hiiragi family, it is not surprising that he has fallen to this point. However, there is only one thing that makes him a little worried...

After thinking for a moment, Ayato picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and then slowly said: "It's just that the marriage between the Hiiragi family and the Kujo family is a bit strange. If it is said that this is also the plan of the [rich man], it would be a bit unreasonable."

"As far as I know, Hiiragi Chisato and Kujo Kamaharu do indeed love each other sincerely. And when the heads of both families are still alive and the difference in power is not huge...it is difficult for the marriage of the two parties to bring extremely high benefits to one of them.

Benefit."

"Judging from [the rich man's] various arrangements in the past, he will never do such a thing without obvious benefits..."

The Ninth Seat of Fools’ Executives [Rich Man] Pantalone has always been known for his ruthless business methods. When he was in Liyue Port, one of the major industries of the North Country Bank was loan sharking...

"I understand what you mean." Hearing this, Ningzhe nodded, and quickly continued: "The marriage between Tianling Fengxue and Kanding Fengxing should not be the handiwork of the [rich man], it looks more like Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi

Shinsuke will make the decision."

"Perhaps the assessment administration received the [rich man's] ultimatum a long time ago, and they didn't want to sit still and wait for death... so they came up with this idea."

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Ayato nodded and put down the tea cup.

After saying this, the scene fell into silence, and the three people including Thomas seemed to be thinking about things.

A few minutes passed, and the door to the room was slowly pushed open, and a figure walked in.

"Brother, Thomas, and Ningzhe... I've been waiting for a long time."

Princess Egret, dressed in casual clothes, came to the Mulao Tea Room. When she saw Linghua, Ningzhe raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Why did she come to the Mokuro Tea Room at this time...shouldn't she have been sitting in Kamisato Yashiki?

"Why do you seem so surprised? Did my arrival surprise you, Ningzhe?" Seeing Ningzhe's confused expression, Linghua blinked her eyes and said with a smile.

"I'm not too surprised... Well, since you appear here, it means that the resistance team has been assembled, right?"

Hearing this, Ningzhe coughed lightly, quickly straightened his expression, and said seriously: "Wanye, Goro...are they ready?"

"That's right."

Linghua nodded, pretending not to notice Ningzhe's abnormal reaction just now.

When Ningzhe saw that Linghua had no intention of questioning, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

In fact, he was a little afraid to meet the Egret Princess, because he once published a light novel called "About My Marrying into Kamisato's House" on Inazuma. Although the protagonist in it is not named "Kamizato"

"Ayaka", but it was indeed created based on her...

When writing this novel, Ningzhe never expected that he would interact with Ayaka himself in the future, so some of the words he used in the book were very...elegant? Yes, they are elegant.

cough...

Thinking of this, Ningzhe glanced at her secretly, and then did not dare to say anything more, but just sat there very upright.

Obviously he didn't expect that the book "About My Marriage in the Godly Family" would quickly and accurately become popular throughout Daozhu, and even spread to Liyue due to its popularity...

It would be fine if the Kamisato family didn't know that the author of this book was Ningzhe, but the problem is... Yae Kamiko didn't hide it from them from the beginning, which led to Ayaka himself knowing about it completely.

...

"Well...it's just a pity that we don't know the specific time of the Fools' action, otherwise we can make detailed arrangements for the action plan."

Ayato noticed Ningzhe's unnaturalness early on, but he didn't care. He just said a simple sentence to break the atmosphere: "The members of [Final Episode] were arranged to various places in Inazuma City early in the morning.

Collecting intelligence from every corner, what we can know so far is that the members of the Fools scattered all over the country have accelerated their actions recently."

"Ah...yes, that's right."

Ningzhe also nodded and glanced at Ayato gratefully, but Ayato pretended to have seen nothing and just said leisurely: "It's a pity that we have completely lost the whereabouts of the executive officer [Master] of the Fools.

After he injured General Kujo, he disappeared. Even though the ninjas searched the entire Inazuma Castle, they couldn't find him..."

Having said this, Ayato looked at Ningzhe and his expression became serious.

"I know that you have a good personal relationship with that [young master], but if we really get into hands with each other then, I'm afraid it will be difficult for both parties to keep their hands."

The implication is very simple. Based on what [Master] has done, the Inazuma shogunate must be hostile to him. When the two sides fight, casualties will be inevitable...

"Don't worry, although that guy likes to fight, he is definitely not a reckless man who doesn't value his own life."

After hearing Ayato's words, Ningzhe's expression remained normal. Even if Dadalia had a good personal relationship with him, he would not change his plan just because of this.

and...

"What's more... based on what I know about him, it's not certain whether he will appear in the next battle..."

Ningzhe also took a sip of tea slowly, then put down the tea cup, his expression extremely calm.

"Is that so? Well...I understand."

Hearing Ningzhe's words, Ayato was stunned for a moment, then looked at him meaningfully, and then nodded.

The general's attitude has been very clear. On the one hand, she will not personally stop the Fools, on the other hand, she will not take the initiative to help them...

In other words, the general wanted them mortals to "prove" her wrong.

That being the case, they can officially begin.
