So, Lia gave her a simple explanation:

“Once this weapon is made available for public sale, everyone can get their hands on it, regardless of class or intention.”

"The lords will have weapons, and their rule will be more secure, but it will be built on violence."

Indeed, anyone who disagrees will be shot.

Bullets are much cheaper than hiring bodyguards.

"Once the enemy has a weapon, they will only think about which enemy to attack first the next day."

For powerless civilians, this weapon is extremely deadly.

Weapons have no eyes, and this kind of gun only requires pulling the trigger to kill a person at an extremely long distance.

"If everyone had a gun, the outcome would only be more chaotic."

The fact that everyone has a weapon does not mean that everyone is unarmed.

An ordinary person with no supernatural powers acquires a weapon that could potentially kill a superhuman.

What will they do?

The human heart is unfathomable, just like a dog that has not been leashed.

You say it doesn't bite, but does it really not bite?

Therefore, dogs that are leashed and muzzled are often the safest.

Similarly, such a weapon must never fall into the hands of commoners or lords.

Simply put, it must never be sold publicly.

"We don't want our weapons to plunge a village or a city into chaos."

"There are many greedy people in the world, but we will not do such a thing for money."

After she finished speaking, Liya gently placed the teacup on the mahogany coffee table.

Seeing Zola's mind go blank and him unable to utter a single word, she smiled slightly.

"I hope you can understand, but if we do join the Chamber of Commerce, these weapons may appear among the Chamber's senior members."

"As a small gift to protect oneself, I think this is perfect."

Zola snapped out of her daze and finally understood what Lia meant.

They won't sell these weapons, but they're willing to give them away free of charge to important people who need self-protection.

But will this weapon really be given away for free?

Don't forget, this kind of weapon is only possessed by the Clevina family.

And as Lia just said, this is only the first generation product.

In the future, there will be a second generation and a third generation.

Those important figures, even if they don't need Victor's protection.

After experiencing the sense of security this weapon brings, they will inevitably gravitate towards the Clevner family and develop friendly relations with them.

As long as no one else can develop this weapon.

The Clevner family then achieved a monopoly.

Moreover, they might have already developed the second or third generation.

What she's seeing now is only what Lia wants her to see.

At this point, whether or not the Clavenna family could join the Chamber of Commerce was no longer up to Zola.

She looked down at the exquisite, small pistol in her hand, which was capable of unleashing tremendous power.

As long as this little pistol appears in the homes of those important people that very night.

The next morning, they all had to beg Clementa to join the Cassidra Merchant Guild.

Zola was completely under their control.

She couldn't believe that this woman, who looked almost the same age as her, could so easily overwhelm her with just a few words.

It even made her heart flutter.

Zola suppressed his inner turmoil, his hands trembling.

As if afraid the pistol might suddenly discharge, he placed it on the table.

Then he raised his head and solemnly said to Liya.

“Miss Lia, I need to ask my father, Chairman Nannard, about this matter.”

"I think I need to stay in the Empire for a few days first, and then we should discuss the matter in more detail."

Having said that, she prepared to leave.

Because her current level is too high, she has been being led by the nose by Lia.

She was no longer able to control the situation on her own.

If she continued talking like this, she was afraid she would give the entire Chamber of Commerce to Clavenna.

But Leah didn't want to let her leave. She covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes still full of amusement as she said:

"In that case, why don't we stay in Braxton for a few days?"

"As you know, that is our Clavenna territory, and the only outsider territory permitted in the entire empire."

“My original intention was to have a detailed discussion with you in Brighton, but I didn’t expect you to arrive so quickly. We also need to go back to Brighton, so we can go together.”

Zola thought that since Braxton was so far from the capital, she was about to say that it was not necessary and that she would visit him in a few days.

But then Lia suddenly called out upstairs.

"Victor!"

Zola's heart trembled violently.

Her blunt tone was just like when she was at home.

Her mother gave orders to her authoritative father in the exact same way!

This is a tone that can only be achieved between very close partners.

No wonder, after all, Viktor was even willing to let the woman in front of him manage everything in the house, they must be very much in love!

Thinking of this, she looked expectantly up the stairs.

Zola was stunned the moment that familiar black trench coat appeared.

The aloof man was holding a sleeping girl.

The girl looked young and petite, with one head resting on Viktor's shoulder, obscuring her face.

It just feels like the ears are pointed and long, but they look no different from those of a human.

But at that moment, perhaps it was the suppressed feeling of being led by the nose by Lia that reached its limit.

Her brain completely shut down, and without thinking, she blurted out:

"Your child is already this big!?"

Liya: "?"
