The Merchants' Guild has five levels.

The first floor is a grand lobby comparable to that of a seven-star hotel.

High ceilings, comfortable and luxurious leather sofas, a relaxing mini-bar, a pool table for entertainment, and a tea area for business meetings.

After passing through the lobby, there is a small magic teleportation array.

Yes, that's how extravagant the merchants are; they build teleportation arrays directly within the guild and use them as 'elevators'.

Standing on the magic teleportation array, Li Aili arrived at the top floor of the association in the blink of an eye.

The vice president led them to the room at the end of the corridor.

The fat man kept wiping his sweat with a white handkerchief while gently knocking on the door.

"Come in."

The vice president immediately and respectfully pushed open the door, gesturing for Li Aili to enter.

The president's office is very spacious, with a bright bay window and a grand writing desk.

Six important figures were already seated on the sofa for guests, including men and women, humans and non-humans.

However, their perspectives were remarkably aligned.

The light swept over Li Aili's ears and neck, finally settling on the spatial ring on her hand.

Upon seeing the spatial ring, a large merchant with a snake-like face froze for a moment, then stood up and warmly greeted Li Aili.

He flicked his tongue, "Welcome, welcome, noble and beautiful aristocrat."

“I am Yede, the Grand Minister of the Merchants' Guild of the Saint Nich Empire.”

"How should I address you?"

Li Aili said, "Li Aili."

Just then, a lazy female voice came from behind the desk under the window.

“Yed, don’t try to undermine me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the executive chair behind the desk turned around, and a handsome man sat in it.

The man was holding a black, long-haired winged cat in his arms* (Note 1).

At that moment, he was holding a comb and intently brushing the cat's fur.

Just as Li Aili was beginning to doubt the handsome man's gender.

The winged cat raised its head, its mouth opening and closing to emit a lazy, feminine sound.

"So, which country's nobleman are you, and what big project do you want to discuss with me?"

Li Aili: "…………" So the cat is the main character?!
