777 Chapter 477: It’s Time to Harvest [2/2]
The hoarse voice said, “Speak.”
The messenger who came to report didn’t dare to waste any time and said straightforwardly.
“The President of the Violet Merchantile Association Chamber of Commerce, Vale, has sent a message…”
The heart of Windsor trembled when she heard this.
“Do you have news about Lord Richard?”
Her tone trembled as she spoke.
“According to President Vale… Lord Richard had sacrificed himself in that plane.”
Richard wouldn’t be in that situation if it weren’t for her repeated pleas.
Now, the most arduous thing was not to face the situation Richard decided to commit but to tell his loyal and expectant subordinates this cruel news.
It was like his comrade had sacrificed himself, and he had to visit his parents to tell them his fate.
It was hard to say.
The messenger raised his head in shock when he heard this.
“Lord Richard sacrificed himself?”
‘Could the information she received be a mistake? That’s incorrect! President Vale clearly said!’
He looked at Windsor’s expression and immediately felt something was odd.
He hurriedly said, “Chairman Windsor, is there a misunderstanding? President Vale wanted to send you a message. Lord Richard asked him to tell you that he has safely returned to Twilight City and has retrieved the god’s heart. He will come to Solan City after a few days of restoration.”
“Also, I want to inform you that Lord Richard wants to see you when you have the time.”
Windsor’s eyes shone brightly.
Her spirits instantly climbed up to heaven from her hopelessness.
It was like one had bestowed her a soul, and she resurrected to life.
The old white-haired man in the mechanical wheelchair turned his head in shock and looked at the door.
“That young fellow…He didn’t die?
“He even got the god’s heart?
“Was this… Was this a joke?!!”
“The plane collapsed and fell into the bottomless abyss! The spider goddess even targeted him.
“How could the human overlord retrieve the god’s heart?
“You’re telling me under such circumstances that the young fellow had escaped the collapse of the plane, and he also retrieved the god’s heart right under the spider goddess’s nose…
“Isn’t that a fantasy story?”
Windsor’s emotions were at their peak. She could not suppress the joy in her heart. She took a few deeper breaths afterward.
She could not have been so emotional if she had received this news earlier.
The feeling of being rekindled with hope was profuse after she experienced the despair.
“Is this news true?”
“President Vale personally informed me. He had just left…”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, Chairman.”

Alves flapped his broken dragon wings and dashed toward Solan City at its fastest speed.
Richard watched as the yellow sand on the ground swept past him.
Anticipation rose in his heart.
This trip to Solan City was different from the past.
The Crimson Moon was about to arrive, and the new expansion pack was about to be released.
At this critical moment, he had established a friendship with the upper echelons of the Crimson Moon.
That would be invaluable to Twilight City amidst a vital change.
Information was always the most valuable thing. One could ordinarily earn a lot of money but could critically repay his life at a crucial moment.
Richard could obtain vast benefits as long as he could get the plans of the Crimson Moon from the other party.
In high spirits, Richard arrived at Solan City on the evening of November 22nd, illuminated by the setting sun.
A middle-aged man wore the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce badge and immediately gathered around him with a large group of people just as he left Alves there. They respectfully prepared a carriage and invited him to the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce.
Richard didn’t have any objections to this. He didn’t waste any time and followed the man into the city.
They passed through the streets and alleys as they relived the prosperity of Solan City. The carriage stopped before the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce complex building.
Richard went down the carriage and saw a graceful figure in a red aristocratic evening gown.
The lady saw him, and she immediately revealed a bright smile.
At this moment, her nearly perfect face gave people a stunning impact.
Her charm warmed the surrounding air.
The surrounding guards had never seen this scene before. They widened their eyes, and their hearts seemed to have stopped beating.
They stared fixedly at the figure with extraordinary temperament and could not return to their senses for long.
Richard was equally amazed, but his expression did not change. He stepped forward with clear eyes.
He stopped and stood still.
He looked straight at the beautiful figure with overwhelmed emotions.
“President Windsor.
“I have retrieved… The thing you want…”
His flat tone became sweeter than any music in Windsor’s ears.
She took a few deep breaths and could not suppress her emotions.
She looked at him deeply and held her chest solemnly.
She bowed most respectfully.
“Lord Richard…Thank you for your efforts.
“You will always be a friend of the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce.”
A smile grew wider behind her.
“He’s also my friend.”
It was a light remark, but it carried ten times the weight in Richard’s eyes.
The guards around him returned to their senses and looked at Richard in shock.
The Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce chairman bowed to this young man!
What kind of existence was the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce? She possessed strength at the level of a tyrant in the desert of death!
Not even the princesses and princes of the kingdom had the right to be treated like this by their paragon!
Who was the other party to make Chairman Windsor treat him like this?
Amidst their shock, Richard followed Windsor to a giant building in the center of the Phoenix Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce’s complex establishment. They took the alchemy elevator to the top floor, where they could overlook half of the city. At a glance, a figure who leaned against a mechanical wheelchair greeted them.
He was the old white-haired man from the Red Dragon General Store who had lost his heart, Peim.
Peim’s mouth cracked into a weak smile when he saw Richard.
“Young fellow, I didn’t expect you could escape Lolita’s hands.
“You surprised me.”
Richard looked at him with a half-smile and did not answer.
‘Escaped from Lolita’s hands?’
