When An Moxue met Anthony, she gave him an unexpected answer and then stopped thinking about the matter. Even if she wanted to take over the Popov family, she knew that she had to keep the initiative in her own hands. Therefore, the best time was when they felt that she was their indispensable salvation. For now, let them put on their arrogant faces!

In truth, she truly admired the Nalan family's ancestor. Take this poison, for example. The Popov family members should have been given a "poison-attracting agent" without their knowledge. Although the drug is called "poison-attracting agent," it is not poisonous in itself; it only serves to attract people. Because once a member of the Popov family touches the Nalan family's treasures, even if it's just one person, as long as that person is poisoned, if that person has physical contact with the person given the "poison-attracting agent," then that person will also be poisoned. Using this as a medium, the entire Popov family will be unable to escape.

This is the price of betraying the Nalan family. It may also be the reason why the Nalan family dared to retreat gracefully when they were at their most glorious moment and saw that the situation was about to change. They were not afraid of your betrayal, but only whether you dare to bear the consequences of your betrayal.

Ultimately, their clever schemes were defeated by their own desires, because they all had a strong sense of national pride!

Dedicate your body and soul to the nation and the country!

How could An Moxue not be impressed?

An Moxue had always had a question: even if such a family lost its wealth, it should still have books, especially ancient books passed down through generations. So where did the Nalan family's books go?

For such a family, the thing they would never give up is books, as they are the foundation of their family legacy.

Could it be related to that treasure map? An Moxue is reading more and more books now, especially those about mountains and rivers. She has a feeling that the approximate location of the map should be on that lost land, which was assigned to Oseri before the establishment of the Xinlan Kingdom. Now, it just needs further verification.

The business partnership between her and Sophia and several others has been finalized. Her share is the smallest, only 15%, while Martha's is the largest, at 25%, and she will be responsible for operations. The other three each own 20%.

An Moxue's main purpose in investing in this project was not to make money, but to expand and strengthen her network of contacts.

The initial target market was the upper-middle class, a luxury item that not everyone could afford. An Moxue's skillful integration of modern business models surprised the others, who exclaimed that An Moxue's idea was absolutely right.

Everything is going smoothly for An Moxue, and she has already received an invitation from General Ak's mansion. This is her first time accepting an assassination mission, and she doesn't know if she will succeed. This person strongly advocates for conflict between Oseri and Lan Kingdom, and is a consistent advocate for border conflict.

That night, An Moxue transformed herself into a sexy, curly-haired woman with brown eyes and brown hair, dressed boldly and flamboyantly.

The banquet was held at a private estate. At the entrance, there were VIPs driving cars and old nobles in elegant two-horse carriages. The horses were clearly top-quality, some even more expensive than a car. The carriages were also two-horse, four-wheeled, a symbol of status.

An Moxue arrived at the door, witnessing this scene for the first time in both her lives; she had only ever seen it on television or in historical documents before.

The people who stepped off the carriage had a different kind of temperament. It was something that came from years of cultivation and refinement, an accumulation of time and inner strength, and certainly not the kind of temperament that only nouveau riche could possess.

An Moxue was a little envious of the people riding in the carriage; she wanted that horse and carriage too.

She was watching a passing carriage with great interest when a person came from the other end, walked up to An Moxue, and asked solicitously, "Miss, do you like that carriage?"

An Moxue kept staring at the carriage without moving her head, and said, "The horse likes it too."

After she finished speaking, she realized her rudeness and quickly turned around to the man, saying, "Sir, I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing."

"It's alright, Miss is such a sentimental person. Are you alone?"

An Moxue smiled shyly and said, "For the time being."

The man said somewhat solicitously, "May I invite you in with me, Miss?"

She hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Okay!"

An Moxue caught the fleeting hint of surprise in the man's eyes.

"Miss, please." The man extended his arm in a gentlemanly manner, and An Moxue pretended to be reserved as she took his arm.

The two entered the manor together. At the entrance, someone registered them. The man took out an invitation, and An Moxue also took out an invitation. Only then did An Moxue realize that his name was Anatoli, and the man also realized that An Moxue's name was Anna.

The man asked tentatively, somewhat cautiously, "Miss Anna, may I call you that?"

An Moxue smiled broadly and said, "Of course, don't we already know each other?"

"Then you can call me Anatoli." The man was now beaming with pride, never expecting such a beautiful young lady to be so easy to seduce.

An Moxue rolled her eyes inwardly and muttered to herself, "Silly Mumu." If she didn't want to stand out too much, who would be standing at the door trying to lure a fool? She secretly gathered her strength, stopped herself, and knew she couldn't be so presumptuous.

She forced a smile and said gently, "Okay, Anatole. Let's go in together!"

Anatoli was in a daze. Not only was he surprised to meet such a beautiful lady, but she was also so gentle. All he could say was, "Okay."

The two entered the hall, and Anatoli led An Moxue around to introduce her to his friends. An Moxue smiled throughout, exchanging pleasantries with people while observing the guests and the layout of the hall.

Seeing that the time was right, An Moxue said to Anatori, "Anatori, I'm going to the restroom for a bit, I'll be right back."

"Do you know the way? Why don't I go with you?" Anatoli said, somewhat worried.

"Thank you, but no need. Aren't there waiters? I can ask them for directions if I can't find my way."

Anatoli didn't really want to go; he was just afraid that An Moxue would run away. She was the beauty he had luckily found tonight, how could he lose her!

After finishing her sentence, An Moxue turned and disappeared into the crowd, walking out of the hall.

Under the pretense of finding a restroom, An Moxue wandered around the manor, observing the terrain and thinking about her escape route after making her move.

If you see someone and they ask, just say you're going to the restroom.

And so, under the cover of darkness, she surveyed the estate, discovering that many areas were off-limits. Her plan continued to evolve.

She walked back to the banquet hall. The host for the evening, General Ak, had already appeared in the banquet hall. He was chatting and laughing with several generals. An Moxue pretended to pass by a few people by chance and overheard him say, "Why stop? Those cowards from Lan Kingdom will be afraid if you beat them. Once you beat them until they cry for their parents, then you can take the opportunity to negotiate a ceasefire. Wouldn't we still be the ones who benefit?"
