But those ears and tails are simply symbols of evil.is a sign of corruption.

Charles, who had a huge shiver, felt a chill pass through his body.

He gestured to his men.

"Follow them."

.........

After leaving Balk Chamber of Commerce, Cook and Nina went to Gretna Chamber of Commerce together.

"Although I know there is nothing to see, let's take a look."

"Well. I listen to Cook."

Cook takes Nina into the Gartner Chamber of Commerce.As soon as I entered the store, I saw people from the chamber of commerce hurriedly changing the price signs of sugar and flour.So many commodities have not been moved, and the price of sugar and flour alone has been higher than that of the Balk Chamber of Commerce.

The price is already four times higher than the retail price, even more than the price of spices with less harvest.

A little higher is the price of gold.

It's a shame they can afford such a high price.It's a ghost if someone buys it.

When entering the store, I also met a guy who left in a hurry.

When they passed each other, Cook looked at him for a moment.When the other party saw Cook, he immediately covered his face in panic and left at a faster speed.

Cook can't be wrong, that is the staff who just worked at the Balk Chamber of Commerce.Cook's tea is poured by him.

The staff of the Balk Chamber of Commerce fled in panic due to the sudden surge in prices of flour and sugar.With such an obvious performance, nothing needs to be explained.

Cook shrugged at Nina with a wry smile.

Chapter 415: Please don't leave me

"How is it? Sister Nina, I'm right."

In the face of Cook's joking statement.There was no smile on Nina's face, on the contrary, there was a faint shadow.

"Sorry, it's all my fault."

"Sister Nina, what are you talking about? It has nothing to do with you. Forget it, let's go first. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Yes."

........

On the first day, Cook didn't buy what he wanted most.

After returning to the hotel with Nina, in order to forget about these unpleasant things, he had a happy party with the soldiers.

Although Nina can interact with everyone with a smile on her face as usual, she still has a heavy feeling in her heart.

Considering that she couldn't influence Cook and affect the mood of the soldiers, Nina didn't express her inner thoughts.

"Hopefully everything goes well tomorrow."

Catwoman clasped her hands together and prayed silently.

.......

On the second day of arriving at Dalabangba, the schedule is basically the same as the first day.The soldiers moved freely, and Cook, who was not reconciled to not being able to buy sugar and flour, continued to go to Balk to find Charles to bargain.

This time, Charles still showed a domineering attitude, which made people feel more and more that this guy was not a businessman, but was deliberately looking for trouble with Cook.

During the negotiation, his dislike for Nina was also hidden from the beginning, and became more obvious when it was brought to the table.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Cook, do you lack women? I have wonderful women here, definitely much better than you think. I can introduce them to you."

As Charles spoke, he hugged the woman and rubbed her breasts, pretending to show it to Nina.Fortunately, Cook was not provoked by him.

"We're talking about flour, why are women involved. And I don't need unrefined women."

These overt and covert provocations from Charles made Nina feel sick to her stomach.

Nina is not afraid of other people cursing her. As a member of the cat people, Nina has experienced too many incidents of being treated differently because of her race. She has long been accustomed to unreasonable bullying and can face it calmly.The bloody general who has wandered in front of the gate of hell many times is a powerful character who has seen strong winds and waves, but he does not have the fragile emotions to fall into depression just because of someone else's look or a few words.

But Nina very much does not want others to do this in front of Cook.This would give Nina the feeling that Cook, whom she had harmed, had been brought down.

This will make Nina feel that she has done something wrong and implicated Cook... This will make the bloody general who can always break out of the siege to save the day feel powerless like never before.

Nina hated this feeling of powerlessness.

Speaking of which, the Lion King and the heroes are very manly people.Although they are also drooping people, they will never do such childish things as Charles.

Regardless of whether it is to save face for Cook, they will not reject Nina.

At the very least, you won’t show your annoying thoughts on your face.They will give Nina enough 'dignity' in front of Cook.

For this, Nina is very grateful to Lion King and Hero.Also because of The Lion King and Heroes, Nina still has a good impression of the country Darabonba.

But unfortunately, in this country that has never been open to orcs, not everyone will have the generosity of the Lion King and Hero.

Many more, with the same prejudices as Charles.

Ever since she walked on the streets of Dalabangba, Nina felt contemptuous eyes from time to time.

This feeling was much more than in Alcoron, and Nina couldn't help but think of herself when that tribe was expelled by humans in the past.

"Sister Nina, sister Nina?"

The continuous shouting brought Nina's consciousness back to reality. When she lowered her gaze, she could see a 12-year-old boy in ordinary clothes calling her anxiously.

Only that little face that looks a little immature but gives off a stinking feeling can bring healing.

The moment she saw him, Nina's pain diminished a lot, and the needle-pricking feeling in her chest became less intense. The negative emotions disappeared immediately as if they were blown away by the wind. The heavy memories of the past were also magically overturned. One page passed.

Cook, like a magician, brings warmth and security to Nina.

Looking at Cook's eyes shining with wisdom, Nina smiled naturally.

"It's okay, it's okay. I fell into a little thought. It made you worry."

After hearing Nina's explanation, Cook showed a relieved expression, let out a big breath, and pressed his hands on his chest.

"That's good. Miss Nina suddenly stopped moving while I was walking. I thought I was attacked by surprise and got enchanted."

Cook was really worried about Nina.

Nina, who understood this, felt warm again in her heart.

"No, no. Don't think about it. It's Cook, what are you going to do next?"

"There's a place I want to go. I'm going to go."

"Okay, I'll follow..."

Before Nina could finish her words, Cook shook his head to stop Nina.

"Sister Nina, don't come with me. I have to go to this place by myself."

"Ah? For, why?"

The heart that had just been warmed suddenly became cold.

'This, does this despise me? '

Uneasiness and panic replaced the warmth, filling Nina's chest.

Cook didn't seem to notice Nina's uneasiness.

"It's nothing. In short, I can only go to this place by myself. The only thing I don't want is Sister Nina to follow."

Nina felt a sword being stabbed in her chest, and her eyes were about to turn white.

"You just don't want me to follow you? Where's the guard? Where's the guard job?"

"I will ask General Patton's adjutant brother to protect me. Sister Nina, rest today."

"Hugh, rest. Yes, but I don't want to rest..."

When the words came to her lips, Nina couldn't say a simple "please let me stay with you" no matter what.

Cook was still explaining eloquently.

"I've been taking care of my stinky brat, and sister Nina will be bored. I decided to take this time to give sister Nina a vacation. This is pocket money, here, sister Nina, take it. Have fun and relax , buy what you want."

Cook seemed to be in a good mood and took out a cloth bag containing 50 gold coins and handed it to Nina.

The gold coins in the cloth bag collided and made a crisp sound.

Nina took the gold coin bag and forced a smile.

The idea was not conveyed to Cook this time.

"Sister Nina doesn't even bring any money, which makes me very embarrassed. If you give it to Sister Sylph, it will turn into wine immediately. If Sasi is here, I will be the only one who can't touch the money. Although Lilith is very good at it, Take care of money, but not obsessed with money. Really. Sister Nina, have fun."

After Cook finished speaking, he grinned and ran towards the hotel.

Looking at Cook's back, Nina made a gesture of reaching out to grab something.

She wanted to catch up with Cook, but her legs were like lead, preventing Nina from taking a step.

Nina could only watch as Cook's figure became smaller, and finally disappeared completely into the crowd on the street.

This reminded Nina of that dream uncontrollably.

The dream I feared the most.

'Please don't leave me, please let me follow you. '

Nina didn't say what was in her heart in the end.

Chapter 416: Malicious Intersection

Returning to the hotel, Cook asked General Patton's adjutant to accompany him.

The adjutant who knew what Cook was doing showed a very puzzled expression.

"Master Cook, you are good friends with His Majesty and the adults. You just need to talk to anyone about such trivial things as buying flour and sugar, and you can get them for free. You don't need to do such troublesome things at all. .”

Cook smiled and waggled his fingers in front of his eyes.

"Brother, you are right. Indeed, if I ask His Majesty, I can get flour and sugar without spending a penny. But, I will not do this. Even this kind of thing should trouble Your Majesty." , It will make people think that I am too arrogant and start to swell, and it will also cause unfavorable rumors to spread to Your Majesty and the adults. Speaking of it, this is still within the scope of my ability, and it is a private matter. Although I have encountered some setbacks, I think , I can overcome it myself. I don’t want to be said to be a vain fool. What I can do, I don’t bother you big shots. They are so busy. It’s not close for me to ask them to use public power to deal with private affairs. Favor will bring trouble to others, and it will also tarnish my image in everyone's heart... Human emotions are not unlimited, they will be consumed. Your Majesty and all the adults' favor towards me is very precious. It should be used in key places...Moreover, money is something that if you don’t spend it yourself, you won’t have the sense of accomplishment of making money. I want to feel the feeling of being in control of my finances.”

After Cook finished speaking, the adjutant was stunned at first, and then clapped excitedly.

"A small business can lead to so many great truths. This, this is a very profound philosophy of life. Listening to your words is better than ten years of reading. Mr. Cook, you are amazing. You have thought so carefully. Really. You are a model of interpersonal relationships. No wonder Lord Barton is full of praise for you and always asks me to learn from you. I, I didn't think so at the time, thinking that I was just a brat. Please, please forgive me for my rude thoughts. Only now do I realize that you are really awesome. So awesome. I only thought about getting the official position and using it as I wanted. I never thought about the impact it would have on my boss, His Majesty. I, I am still far away. Mr. Cook , please let me learn from you.”

The serious big brother suddenly expressed his emotion to a kid with snot and tears.This made passers-by stop and look at the two curiously.

Cook also waved his hands in panic to calm down the adjutant.

"Yes, it's not that powerful. Big brother, keep a low profile. People have gathered, let's go first."

"Yes. Master Cook, the villain obeys orders. Please guide me."

"It's all said to be low-key."

.............

Nina is not attached to money.

As long as you can have a stable life, it doesn't matter if you don't have much money.

In the beginning, Nina only wanted to live with Sylph and her sisters, and she was satisfied.Even if the food is poor, the clothes are bad, and it is no problem to sleep in a drafty house.

Right now, Nina just wants to be with Cook.

Therefore, Nina never asks for money.Even if Cook and Sylve often urged Nina to take away her salary.Nina always smiled and asked Cook and Sylph to keep it for her.

This is completely different from Sylph and Saxi who always want to keep the money in their own hands.Because of this, he was teased several times by Cook.

When Nina really wanted something, she would ask Cook for some money.

But where she really spent money for selfish desires, Nina didn't carry more than 20 silver coins with her most of the time.

Therefore, with such a huge sum of 50 gold coins all of a sudden, Nina was completely at a loss.

Cook is letting himself buy what he likes.

However, Nina, who has no desires, doesn't know what she wants.

Things that women like, maybe because she has been fighting on the battlefield, Nina doesn't have much interest in them.
