Chapter 121 Finance Minister

Chen Luo had a lot of surprises at the exchange meeting tonight. He originally planned to stay and see if he could find any more treasures, but Isabella's appearance made him dispel the plan.

In this world, no one is more familiar with Chen Luo than Isabella and Teacher Britney. Even if Isabella did not recognize her for a short time and had a long contact, she would definitely doubt her again.

I just spent a lot of time with Angus upstairs. When Chen Luo went downstairs, the number of people in the hall was more than twice as high as before.

At this kind of magic exchange meeting, there are very few junior magicians, and those who attend the meeting have at least intermediate or intermediate or above.

Chen Luo asked casually: "Are there so many intermediate and above magicians in Yabo City?"

Jasmine walked beside him and explained: "They are not all magicians. In order to meet more powerful magicians, some nobles and merchants often attend such exchange meetings..."

Chen Luo attended an academic salon once, and it was far less lively than the exchange meetings of the Magic Association.

It seems that although scholars and magicians have a considerable status, the former's communication is often limited to a small circle of scholars, while the latter is the object that everyone wants to make friends with.

When Chen Luo and Moli walked towards the door, at one moment, Moli subconsciously hid behind Chen Luo.

Chen Luo looked at her in surprise and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jasmine looked ahead and whispered: "The one who just walked in was the Finance Minister. Every time he came to the association, he would cause some unpleasant things. We should avoid him..."

Chen Luo looked along Jasmine's gaze and saw a fat man who was shorter than Toby but fatter than him.

The fat man was wearing luxurious clothes, a golden necklace around his neck, and his five fingers were actually wearing rings, each ring was inlaid with jewelry. When he walked over, many parts of his body were shining.

This is the first time Chen Luo has seen such an exaggerated financial minister. He just looked at the things on him and said that he was not corrupt. I am afraid no one believed him.

However, one thing still puzzled Chen Luo. Where is the Magic Association? In the Kingdom of Luolan, even the royal family would give them three points of face, let alone a small finance minister. There is no reason why he could leave safely after the Magic Association was in trouble, and he has been arrogant until now.

Moli explained: "This Finance Minister is the queen's younger brother. It is said that she can't stay in the king's capital and came to Yabo City. Because of his identity, even the city lord cannot offend him..."

No wonder this fat man is so arrogant. His Majesty the King has only one queen. The Magic Association does not care about the face of the Finance Minister, but also cares about the face of the Queen and the King.

This also explains why the taxation in Yapo City was in a mess, and Isabella's father did not attack him either.

Jasmine sent Chen Luo to the door, and Chen Luo stopped and said, "Okay, I'll send it here, you can go back."

Jasmine smiled and said, "Goodbye sir."

"Goodbye Jasmine." Chen Luo took two steps, looked back at him, and said, "We are friends. When there is no one in the future, don't call me sir..."

Jasmine nodded with a smile. When she walked back to the hall, a sound suddenly came from behind her.

"Is this a new deacon from the Magic Society? Why have you never seen it before?"

Jasmine turned around and immediately said, "Mali has met the Minister of Finance. I just became a deacon..."

The fat man with a bloated body stretched out his hand to her, the fat on his face trembled a few times, and said with a smile: "Deacon Jasmine, I'm glad to know you."

Jasmine's face turned a little pale. She was not a very familiar and intimate person and would not use a handshake gift at all. However, she had seen the consequences of refusing the Minister of Finance before. Even the Magic Association would not offend the Minister of Finance because of a deacon.

Just as she was standing there and was a little at a loss, a figure suddenly came from behind and held her hand.

Isabella glanced at the Finance Minister and asked, "Uncle Walter, do you know my friends?"

"It's Isabella's niece..." Walter looked at her and asked, "Is your father here too?"

"The father is there, Uncle Walter can go find him by himself." Isabella pointed in a certain direction, then pulled Lamoly's hand and said, "Let's go there..."

Watching the two girls leave, Walter's face showed dissatisfaction and said, "Auston is asking me for trouble every day, and even his daughter is against me. My sister should have made me the lord of the city at the beginning..."

One of the followers behind him showed a look of embarrassment on his face and said, "Marquis, the city lord of Apo, has been hereditary by the Claves family since the establishment of the Kingdom of Lora. Unless Auston committed a serious crime, even His Majesty the King cannot directly make you the city lord..."

Walter's face was even more dissatisfied, and he shook his head and said, "I don't care. You must find a way for me, otherwise I will deduct all your salary next month!"

The follower cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. After scratching his head, he said, "Actually, there is no way..."

While he was whispering to the Finance Minister, on the other side, Isabella let go of Jasmine's hand and asked, "Miss Ms. Jasmine, are you okay?"

Jasmine said gratefully: "Thank you Miss Isabella, I'm fine."

Isabella said in surprise: “Hey, you know my name.”

Jasmine nodded and said, "Mr. Blair told me your name, thank you very much this time..."

"Blair's friend is my friend. Just call me Isabella..." Isabella waved her hand and said, "By the way, are you very familiar with Blair?"

Jasmine looked at her and whispered, "I don't know much..."

Isabella looked curious and asked, "How did you and Blair meet? Do you often mention me when he is with you..."

...

After Chen Luo left the Magic Association, he found an opportunity to change into his own clothes.

When he returned to school wearing that black robe, he was most likely considered a gangster who was ill-behaved. When he returned home, he saw Teacher Britney sitting on the sofa, as if reading a book.

However, when Chen Luo walked towards her, the few pages of paper in Britney's hand suddenly ignited, and then a breeze broke out in the room, rolling the burning ashes out of the window.

Chen Luo stood there in a daze, "Teacher Britney, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Britney smiled at him, but this smile was a bit reluctant no matter how you look at it.

However, Teacher Britney is different from Isabella. Even if something really happens, if she says it’s okay, then Chen Luo will not be able to ask anything.

Everyone, including Chen Luo, has a secret. Chen Luo did not ask until the end. He was silent for a moment and asked, "Would Teacher Britney be hungry? Do you want me to cook a bowl of noodles for you to eat?"

Britney, who never ate much at night, nodded for the first time this time.

Isabella is still growing and often wants to eat before going to bed at night, so Chen Luo often has side dishes in the refrigerator.

Soon after, a bowl of plain noodles with poached eggs were prepared.

Britney finished the noodles silently, looked at Chen Luo who was sitting opposite her, and said, "Thank you, Blair."

Chen Luo smiled and changed the subject: "I just met Senior Sister Isabella in the Magic Association."

Britney looked at him and asked, "Isn't she recognized it?"

"No." Chen Luo shook his head and said, "In such a thing, senior Isabella is not that smart..."

Isabella opened the door, walked in from outside, looked at Chen Luo suspiciously, and asked, "Blair, why are you talking bad about me in front of Teacher Britney while I am away?"

Chen Luo shook his head: "No..."

"I said no!" Isabella glared at him and said, "I heard you say my name outside..."

Britney smiled and said, "No, Blair is saying you are smart."

Isabella stopped caring about this and handed him a small cardboard box in her hand.

Chen Luo asked in confusion: "What is this?"

Isabella gave him a blank look and said, "Didn't you like Alice's cake the most before? This is what I brought to you from the Magic Society. It tastes very good..."

Isabella could think of herself when she encountered a delicious cake in the Magic Association, which made Chen Luo feel very pleased. It was worth it that he got up in the middle of the night when she was hungry.
