"Then, Shadow and the guards will be in charge of Oliver. You will be in charge of giving them missions according to what you think is convenient for the Heavenly Palace", Andrew continued, and Oliver responded with a short, "Yes". Andrew nodded his head and continued speaking, "Helena will continue to be in charge of the courtesans, so evaluate how many we need and with what characteristics, be detailed, I'll do my best to get them." Helena also responded with a, "Yes". Following the same line of thought Andrew said, "As for Carolina, you are in charge of the rest of the operations, so check what is needed and give me a report. I will look for employees". Carolina nodded her head and now only Aki was left, so Andrew said, "Aki, you should join Shadow and follow Oliver's orders together with Marie." After Aki also accepted the role from him, the meeting ended. Andrew had adopted the best possible method available to him, delegating. He had talented subordinates and wives, so he handed the job over to them and he would only step in when necessary. Everyone had left the room except for Oliver, as Andrew asked him to stay. "Oliver, when I released you, I also said that I would give you something good, and now I will give it to you." Andrew walked over to Oliver and placed his hand on Oliver's shoulder, an intense golden light emanated from Amdrew's hand. Oliver felt a slight discomfort in his shoulder like something was burning him, but at the same time, he wasn't hurt. Soon after, a large amount of information appeared in his brain, which stunned him. He learned Andrew's true identity and some of his abilities, not to mention the changes he himself had undergone. His blessing, "Eyes of Aura", had been strengthened, now he could turn it on and off at will, allowing him to maintain his energy. His body also strengthened, his muscles were stronger, and his power went up one level. Oliver used to be at the level of Milena and Anton, the guards sent by Marquis Donald to protect Teresa, although no one knew it, now he was much more powerful than them. What Andrew had done, was put the guardian seal on Oliver. This seal could only be placed on people loyal to Andrew and Oliver fulfilled that condition. When he finished, Oliver knelt on one leg and said, "My lord, I thank you for your grace, and again I pledge my allegiance to you." "You don't need to be so rigid, Oliver. Like I said before you're part of my family, just keep up the good work," Andrew said with a smile and waved Oliver off. Soon Johan's men arrived to collect the products and were surprised to see that the amount of rejuvenating creams had increased. When these men came to Johan and told him the good news, Johan was delighted, as he was already beginning to have trouble retaining the noble ladies who demanded more of these creams. On the other hand, Candice's clothing store was packed with customers. All the ladies who had attended the fashion show had rushed to the store early in the day, not wanting to run out of products. Canna who ran this store was stressed and happy, serving the customers, as the number of people that were present, demonstrated the success of the event of the previous night. Candice, for her part, had come to the Flores Mansion to visit Teresa. In the same kiosk as last time, the two ladies were sitting drinking tea, and eating cookies, while they chatted about what had happened. Candice didn't have the need, but even so, she came to apologize, after all, for attending the event Teresa had suffered that attack and she felt guilty. Teresa, seeing her friend so uncomfortable with herself, couldn't help feeling tenderness for this act and said, "Candice, I already told you, it wasn't your fault and nothing happened to me, so raise your head." Since Teresa had allowed it, Candice looked up and thanked her. Wanting to change the subject, she said, "By the way, I brought your dresses, do you want to see them?", to which Teresa excitedly replied, "Why didn't you say it before? Bring them into the room, I'll try them on." So the two ladies went to Teresa's room after Erick gave Candice the boxes where the dresses were since he couldn't follow them. In the bedroom, Candice helped Teresa into her dresses. First, it was trying on underwear to which Candice couldn't help but say, "If it were me, I'd warn the marquis before revealing such a weapon, it could give him a heart attack." Teresa laughed out loud at her friend's comment and looked at herself in the full-length mirror that she had in the room. She had to admit that Candice was right. Her tight, gravity-defying tits, toned abdomen, wide hips, long legs, and plump, but firm, scantly covered ass were truly provocative. Teresa, despite being in her 40s, was a very beautiful and sensual woman. She had kept up well over time and had nothing to envy of younger women, so she was happy to see herself in the mirror and still be sensual. While Teresa was trying on the dresses, in the mansion's study, Donald and Richard were waiting for news from Raven about Count Gistaly, since yesterday Donald had ordered all of Scorpion's force to investigate. Out of nowhere, the door of the study was opened violently and a young man of about 20 years old very similar to Donald, and a lady of about 15 years old similar to Teresa entered without letting Donald speak the young man said furiously, "Father, mother was attacked yesterday and only now did we find out? These were the children of Donald and Teresa, the future successors of the Marquis Valoid. Unlike many of the noble families in this world, the Valoid family is very close, which is why Donald and Teresa's children were upset to learn that Teresa was attacked. "Calm down, Raven is handling the matter," Donald said with a little tenderness. He was very proud that his children were filial, so he reassured them and asked them to sit down. Sёarᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Donald began to tell them what he knew about the attack that Teresa had suffered and when they heard that Count Gistaly was the culprit, the girl could not help but ask, "Why not attack him?" However, it was her brother who answered before Donald, "Eris, even though he is a lower-ranking noble and we have the assassins, he is still a noble, the assassins' testimonies do not justify as in front of the empire as a reason to attack them". Eris was not a brainless noble girl, she had simply spoken on the spur of the moment upon hearing about the culprit. She was clear about what her brother was telling her and that's why she calmed down and apologized, "I'm sorry brother, I really got carried away with anger." "The apology is not necessary if you understood Julios' words, I was also very angry when I found out, luckily I was able to contain myself, but I know that Raven will bring good news," said Donald. Julius and Eris understood where his father's trust came from. Raven being saved by their mother, was the one who had the most affection for her, his level of appreciation for her was as strong as theirs as children and husband, so they knew that he would definitely find something. They weren't wrong. Raven treated Teresa like his own mother. Many misunderstood Raven as believing that he is in love with Teresa, but that is not really the case. He certainly loved her, but that love was more like a son loves a mother, and because of this, he commanded all the members of Scorpion to search for evidence incriminating Count Gistaly and bring him to justice. He really wanted to kill him with his bare hands, but he knew that would only cause trouble, so he decided to follow Donald's plan and search for the dirt that Gistaly was hiding. Since yesterday he was watching Count Gistaly closely. He hadn't let him out of his sight, not even when he went to the bathroom, trying to find something suspicious, and his vigilance paid off. Count Gistaly made deals with a foreign organization, selling secrets of the empire, which means he was a spy. However, the Count knew that the organization he worked with was untrustworthy, so he kept records of it as a bargaining chip for his safety. Unfortunately, Raven had been watching him all this time and had observed where he kept these documents and without delay went to notify Donald. In the study, Donald was talking to his children when Raven emerged from the shadows. Seeing him, the three of them stood up eagerly, and before they could ask, Raven said, "That bastard Gistaly is a spy for a foreign kingdom. I don't know with which kingdom yet, but he has documents in his mansion that prove the sale of information about the empire to a clandestine organization". None of them bothered to correct Raven for calling Count Gistaly a bastard, no need for any kindness against the enemy, but they were surprised that he was a spy. Donald had heard many rumors about Count Gistaly, about dirty deals and many other things, but he never thought that he was a spy, that complicated things a bit. "This is more complicated than I thought, I'm afraid this is not the time for the Valoid family to move. I must speak to the majesty," Donald said almost muttering, and resolutely spoke again, "Richard prepares the carriage, also send a blue falcon to the palace to notify of my visit."
