Dragon Covenant

Chapter 23

In the Soul Liquid House in Navia City, the previous store manager left due to certain reasons, and the position of store manager has been vacant for the time being. So Bernard took the opportunity to promote a deputy store manager and tried to interfere in this branch store. Fortunately, Emily noticed it in time and quickly arranged for someone to come and restrain him. Therefore, things are quite troublesome in this branch of the "Soul Liquid House" now, and it has also affected the production of the Soul Liquid House this year.

"That bastard Bernard is really a brute." Albert couldn't help cursing in his heart. In the past, he didn't pay much attention to it, but now when he suddenly needed a large amount of funds, he found himself restricted everywhere. Only then did he realize how much trouble that ungrateful Bernard had brought him.

Otherwise, with the whole Martin family united as one nowadays, the funds he could use wouldn't be just the three hundred thousand or so in Navia City every year.

...

The carriage passed through the crowded Navia City and finally stopped somewhere in the north of the city.

Albert and Cherry got off the carriage. He looked ahead and saw a large building like a pavilion standing there. In front of the pavilion hung a sign that read "Soul Liquid House".

There were strict guards at the door.

However, when they saw Albert and Cherry, they immediately made way for them.

The two entered without any hindrance and then saw a group of people coming towards them.

Albert looked over and saw that there seemed to be two groups of people. The leader on the left was a middle-aged man with a smile on his face, while the one on the right was quite eye-catching.

It was a young woman with a slender figure. She was beautiful with a straight and delicate nose, wearing a pair of silver-framed round glasses. Her long hair cascaded down, and she carried an undisguised air of coldness and arrogance.

At this time, Cherry's voice came softly.

"The person on the left is named O'Casey, who is the deputy store manager."

"The beautiful woman on the right is named Anna. She's an outstanding student in the Soul Liquid Academy of Niuhurst Advanced Academy, also Emily's best friend. She's now a four-star Spiritual Light Master and is the reinforcement that Emily brought in."

Hearing this, surprise immediately showed in Albert's eyes, and his gaze couldn't help but turn to the young girl with long legs, wearing silver-framed glasses and looking extremely cold and arrogant.

He hadn't expected that she was from the Niuhurst Advanced Academy that he had always dreamed of.

"Hehe, Young Master, Chief Steward, your presence in the Soul Liquid House really honors this place." The middle-aged man named O'Casey was the first to speak, with a sincere and enthusiastic smile on his face.

Compared to his enthusiasm, Anna was much colder. She just looked at Cherry, then glanced at Albert, put her hands in her pockets, and didn't seem to have any intention of speaking.

"Deputy Store Manager O'Casey, you're being too polite. The Soul Liquid House is an industry of the Martin family. It's only natural for the Young Master to come and see his own industry. What's there to say about honoring the place?" Cherry said with a smile.

O'Casey was startled for a moment, then quickly nodded with a smile and said, "I was wrong."

He stayed and chatted for a while longer, then cupped his hands towards Albert and said that he still had things to do and left straight away.

Albert watched this scene. Obviously, O'Casey had completely sided with Bernard, so when facing him, although he seemed enthusiastic, he was actually a bit guarded and distant.

That enthusiasm was just put on.

On the contrary, Anna, who had been cold all along, although she didn't pay much attention to him, had stayed with them all the time and hadn't found an excuse to leave.

However, as O'Casey left, Anna's expression softened a little, and she said to Cherry, "Sister Cherry, what are you here for today?"

Her voice was clear and pleasant, like a flowing stream, clear and charming.

Cherry walked forward, took Anna's arm, and said with a charming smile, "I'm bringing the Young Master to have a look."

Both women had excellent temperament and appearance. Now that they were standing together, they were even more pleasing to the eye. However, precisely because they were standing close together, some differences were revealed.

If Cherry was like undulating waves and magnificent mountains, then Anna was a bit like a flat prairie.

Albert's gaze swept over them briefly, but was still keenly noticed by Anna. Immediately, she slightly raised her fair chin and said somewhat contemptuously, "Little brother, what are you comparing?"

Albert blinked innocently.

Anna snorted softly, ignored him, and pulled Cherry as she walked inside.

Albert didn't care and followed behind them.
