Chapter 717: Chapter 65: Western Expedition Victory Report and the West Merchant Association’s Intelligence and Gifts (Part 4)

It has to be said, all of this even makes one overlook her relatively ordinary face, and just want to press her onto the bed for a thorough release. Pouring all male brutality, impulse, and desire for conquest onto her plump yet soft tender body.

However, fortunately, Su Li just finished a morning practice with Ingrid.

Moreover, last night, the hair of the four women was tied together like a horse’s reins, held in his hand, truly squeezing every last bit of his energy.

So, he took a deep breath to adjust his heartbeat, his lips slightly curving upward, and said, "Thanks to the gift from Director Charlotte, every visit by the West High Merchant Association brings furniture gifts, and most of the decorations in my castle are furnished by your gifts."

Charlotte withdrew her hand, her fondness for Su Li increasing significantly—he was indeed a gentleman with patience and grace!

With just a simple handshake, she could immediately make the judgment. Because she knew her charm too well, in previous encounters with others, whether nobles or knights, even some church cultivators couldn’t resist teasing and teasing her in her palm during handshakes.

Yet the young, spirited noble in front of her showed no such frivolity in his territory, indicating he must harbor greater ambitions.

Of course, Su Li didn’t know her thoughts. The truth is, his female courtiers, especially Aeliria’s Illusion Technique, greatly raised his threshold for beauty; without unparalleled temptations, he wouldn’t lose control.

Charlotte’s increased fondness for Su Li made her continue with a smile, "Master Kote has already mentioned this to me. But I have criticized him; when gifting, one must be meticulous. The furniture I brought this time is crafted by masters, showcasing Blood Pine Wood’s benefits to the fullest—merely sitting on it feels like being amidst pines, the pine fragrance and fresh scent offering great relaxation."

"Also, the inside is filled with soft material woven by the Forest Witch using spider silk and silk velvet, which memorize and restore to the softest, most comfortable shape. This cloud velvet sofa and chairs, a total of 27 pieces, can absorb noise together, reducing the effects of cicadas, croaks, and other noises in the room."

That’s truly great, summer is approaching, and the sounds of cicadas and frogs truly affect rest.

Su Li smiled at Charlotte and said, "Then I must thank Director Charlotte for this generous gift."

Clearly, the West High Merchant Association has meticulously prepared for this exchange, and the interaction was delightful from the opening.

Only then did Director Charlotte move to the main topic of her visit, saying, "I personally came to Hesse Territory this time for a crucial goal—to discuss investment projects with you. The investment amount we brought this time exceeds 30,000 Golden Crowns!"

30,000 Golden Crowns?

Su Li’s eyes instantly lit up; this was truly a substantial investment.

Mind you, the entire fiscal scale of Hesse Territory is barely over 20,000 Golden Crowns.

Su Li promptly asked, "May I ask which areas Director Charlotte intends to invest in?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

30,000 Golden Crowns, without a comprehensive planning list, it would be impossible to adequately spend it!

And Charlotte or the West High Merchant Association seemed prepared for this, as Charlotte smiled and said, "You know, we are furniture merchants. We’ve long wanted to establish a large base around the Blood Pine Forest, to facilitate lumbering, storing timber, and producing furniture. But we haven’t found a stable footing in the territory before, so each time we had to travel back and forth, which was quite inconvenient."

"This time, we want to build a large permanent camp for the association directly outside Blood Pine Forest, to open up Blood Pine Forest."

Su Li raised an eyebrow—indeed, Director Charlotte, with her ambition and grand plans, stands far above a mere steward.
