Dragon Covenant

Chapter 11

Thinking of this, Albert Martin was completely stunned. This was simply a bottomless pit. The Martin family founded by his father and mother probably couldn't afford to support a spendthrift like him.

It seemed that his father and mother had foreseen this; otherwise, the Martin family would really be bankrupted by him.

Upgrading from Five-Star to Six-Star was still bearable. Don't think about the later upgrades for now. Just focus on the current task first.

Albert Martin then began to concentrate on his cultivation. During the day, he practiced the Myriad Spirits Transformation to temper his soul power, and at night, he absorbed the Soul Liquid to increase the star level until the Soul Liquid was used up.

In the accounting room, Cherry was wearing a figure-hugging black long dress. The dress was as smooth as silk, tightly wrapping around her curvaceous body. She was sitting slightly sideways, with a slender waist that was so tiny it seemed one could hold it with just one hand.

The hem of the dress fell gracefully on her long, slender legs. With her slightest movements, it would occasionally sway into an enchanting curve. Her legs were straight and well-proportioned, looking even fairer than snow against the black dress.

Cherry's top was designed with a low neckline, revealing a patch of delicate porcelain-like skin and an alluring cleavage that was faintly visible, exuding an irresistible sexy charm.

Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, adding a touch of laziness and charm.

Cherry looked away from the account book and turned to Steward Lee. "The business of the Martin family in Navia City has decreased significantly this year."

Steward Lee said with a wry smile, "Yes, Chief Steward. There are three local families in Navia City: the Mill family, the Gunter family, and the Green family. Although they can't compare with the entire Martin family, they have deep roots in Navia City. They have been encroaching on us quite severely. Among them, the Mill family is the most aggressive. Recently, two of our chambers of commerce were suppressed by them in various ways and then annexed."

Cherry sighed. "Alas, when the two heads of the family were still around, the heads of these families would visit us with gifts every year. Things are really different now."

Cherry was extremely intelligent. The Martin family had originally squeezed the interests of the three major families in Navia City. Now that the Martin family was facing both internal and external troubles, it was no wonder they would take advantage of the situation.

At present, the Martin family really couldn't spare anyone to come to support in Navia City.

After thinking for a moment, Cherry said, "Close down some of the shops that are not making a profit for the time being. There's no need to get entangled with them. Allocate the staff to other shops instead."

Temporary forbearance is necessary. When the Martin family stabilizes, these families will have to spit out however many shops they have swallowed.

The other stewards nodded and left one by one.

At this time, Cherry, who was wearing a figure-hugging black long dress, was about to go out when she saw Young Master Albert Martin running over in a hurry. Cherry slightly raised her delicate eyebrows and said with her red lips slightly parted, "Young Master, what's the rush?"

Albert Martin stopped, panting slightly. "It's not a big deal. It's just that the fifty portions of Soul Liquid I purchased a few days ago have been used up. I'd like to ask Sister Cherry to purchase another hundred portions of Four-Star Soul Liquid."

Hearing this, Cherry's beautiful eyes widened, and she slapped the table with her jade-like hand, shouting angrily, "Albert Martin, do you want me to lose my job?"

Cherry's sudden reaction really startled Albert Martin. Looking at the anger on Cherry's face, he felt a flurry of panic in his heart and quickly explained, "Sister Cherry, everyone can see your ability. How could I want you to lose your job?"

After a while, Cherry's emotions gradually calmed down, and she said with a hint of apology, "Young Master, I'm sorry. I was a bit too outspoken just now." Then, she slightly narrowed her eyes, and her gaze became sharp as she added, "Could it be that someone is deceiving you, Young Master, trying to obtain Soul Liquid by using your identity?"

Albert Martin shook his head firmly and replied, "Sister Cherry, I really do need the Soul Liquid. No one is deceiving me."

"Don't blame me for being nosy, Young Master. What on earth are you going to do with so much Soul Liquid? I'm also worried that you might believe someone's lies and do something harmful to yourself. I'm even more afraid that Emily will blame me for not taking good care of you." Cherry said worriedly.

Albert Martin was silent for a moment, thinking that the awakening of his soul would be made public sooner or later. He would still need Sister Cherry's help to purchase Soul Liquid in the future. Then he said, "Sister Cherry, my parents left me a secret technique that can awaken my soul, and the Soul Liquid is an essential thing."

After hearing this, Cherry nodded slightly and said, "In that case, indeed, nothing is more important than the awakening of your soul, Young Master. I'll go and make the arrangements right away. It's just that this will cost more than a hundred thousand gold coins again, and half of the gold reserve will be gone. This will make the already precarious Navia City branch of the Martin family even worse."

Albert Martin asked with some concern, "Sister Cherry, is it very difficult for you?"

"Don't worry, Young Master. I'll handle it." Cherry said firmly.

Albert Martin and Cherry talked for a while longer, and then Cherry turned and left
