After that, Fang Zheng took the little girls to stay in the hot spring village for three days. After enjoying the hot springs, the northern scenery and the delicious food, he took them back to the Scarlet Imperial Capital.

However, when Fang Zheng drove the car into the gate of the imperial capital, Alyssa, who had been chatting and laughing with others along the way, was now unusually silent and said nothing.

Finally, it's coming to an end.

Looking at the familiar scenery around her, Alyssa felt a special kind of nostalgia and reluctance at this moment. Although Fang Zheng's driving skills were really hard for her to accept, especially when he was racing, he felt like he was in a hurry to reincarnate and die, but Alyssa had to admit that the ten days she went out to travel with Fang Zheng were the happiest days she had ever had.

They raced on the cliffs together, camped in the wilderness together, had barbecues by the icy lake, experienced adventures in the castle, and took a hot spring bath together in the hot spring village. Here, Alyssa didn't need to care about her identity as the eldest daughter of the Ryan Fort family, and the friends around her didn't care either. They would throw snowballs at you mercilessly and push you into the hot spring without stopping.

But now…

For a moment, when she saw the purple-haired maid standing on the street waiting for her, Alyssa even had an impulse. She wanted to grab Fang Zheng and tell him that she was not going back and that she wanted to live with Ling and Theo... However, as the eldest daughter of the Ryanfort family, Alyssa was very rational and suppressed this unrealistic idea.

"Okay, stop looking so miserable and like you're going to be executed."

Through the rearview mirror, Fang Zheng naturally saw Alyssa's reluctant little face and smiled.

"You can still keep in touch in the game, and when you grow up, you can come and play."

"But Liberl is not close to the Empire..."

"It's not close now, but it's hard to say in the future."

"Why……?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Alyssa was stunned for a moment, but Fang Zheng did not answer her. Instead, he reached out and took out a laptop from his arms—well, don't ask him where he took it out from.

"Give this to your mother and tell her that it contains everything she wants. If you don't know how to do it, go find someone who knows how to do it. Anyone who is not illiterate should be able to do it after reading it twice."

"……What's this?"

"Your mother will know when she sees it."

"……?"

Alisa took the notebook in confusion and looked at it, but couldn't tell what it was, so she nodded. At this moment, the car stopped, and the purple-haired maid came forward and opened the door without saying anything. Alisa looked at Ling sitting in the passenger seat, and Tio and Tita beside her, and finally smiled slightly.

"Then I'll go back first."

"Well, I'll contact you later."

Facing Alyssa's farewell, the girls also smiled and waved to her. Then Alyssa got out of the car with her luggage, and the door closed. Then, accompanied by the sound of tires scraping the ground, the dark chariot rushed forward and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Miss, let's go home. You must be tired after being out for such a long time this time."

"I'll just go back."

Alyssa didn't look away until the car completely disappeared from her sight. Then she handed the rectangular box in her hand to the purple-haired maid.

"Give this to your mother and tell her that it was given to her by Mr. Fang Zheng. Everything she wants is in it."

"So what about you, Miss?"

"I...walk a little further."

Alyssa turned her head and looked at the familiar city. This was what she had learned from traveling with Fang Zheng. When you arrive at a place, walking around and looking around by yourself is sometimes better than anything else. You can even experience some things that you couldn't experience before. After this trip, Alyssa felt that she had grown a lot. Now, she also wanted to try this feeling.

Looking at Alyssa dragging her suitcase and slowly walking along the street, the purple-haired maid's eyes showed a bit of surprise, but in the end she said nothing and turned and left.

Meanwhile, in the car...

“Big brother, why did you run away like this? I wanted to go to Alyssa’s house. She said before that her house is very big and luxurious, but I haven’t seen it yet.”

"Yes, Mr. Fang Zheng, there's no need to be so hasty..."

"Why not?"

Listening to Ling and Tita's complaints, Fang Zheng gripped the steering wheel tightly.

"Hurry up, it's too late to get away!"

“……???”

"You don't think Alyssa's mother is a fool, do you? This woman has no good ideas. If you don't want to follow me all the way back to Liberl from the Empire, run away now!"

Fang Zheng knew exactly what Irina was up to, especially when she gave him a VIP card at the reception. Obviously, even if Irina didn't know Fang Zheng's leading position in the manufacturing of the "Light Krypton Machine", she could guess that he had something to do with it. The Ryanfort Company was a behemoth that dominated the entire empire's manufacturing industry. For them, it would be great if they could get the assistance of the core personnel who were related to the Light Krypton Machine.

They couldn't invite Dr. Russell, as national treasure-level scientists like him usually don't go abroad.

But Fang Zheng was different. Perhaps they had not yet figured out the origins of Starlight Technology, but it was obvious that Fang Zheng was one of its core members. If they arrested him and then tortured him or used threats and inducements to force Fang Zheng to sell some secrets, it would be very cost-effective.

That's why Irina found such an excuse to let Fang Zheng come to the Empire. Presumably in her opinion, a young man like Fang Zheng couldn't stand the temptation and would fail in no time.

In fact, Fang Zheng did come, but he came and then ran away.

The main reason is... Alyssa wants to go traveling, so of course he has to risk his life to accompany Loli.

Now that Loli has finished accompanying him, the matter is over.

As for Irina, a menopausal woman... Fang Zheng declined the offer and ran as far away as possible.

When Irina looked at the laptop on the table in front of her, Fang Zheng had already driven away from the empire.

"So, he's gone?"

"Yes, President."

The purple-haired maid nodded, then looked at Irina in confusion.

"Do you need..."

"No."

Irina waved her hand. She was not stupid. The fact that the other party did not come and gave her this gift through Alyssa's hand had already explained his thoughts. It was too late to send people to block them now, and given the current situation, the Empire was not suitable for a direct conflict with Liberl.

Although I have noticed from this point that this young man does have some connection with the "Light Krypton Machine", but that's all I have learned so far.

"Sharon."

"Yes, President."

"Give this to the technical department and let them study it carefully."

Looking at the laptop computer on the table in front of her, Irina's eyes flickered. Fang Zheng had not launched this kind of portable personal computing terminal before at the expo, but now it seems that this thing is much more powerful than ordinary computing terminals. I really don't know where the Kingdom of Liberl got this unimaginable guidance technology from.

Fang Zheng had no control over what the old woman Irina thought, but he knew that he would probably not be able to go to the Empire again in the next few years.

That's why Fang Zheng took this trip. After this trip, he can be said to have fulfilled his wish.

In the short term, Fang Zheng will stay in Liberl as a stay-at-home for the next few years.

But now, he still has a big plan to complete.

After leaving the Empire, Fang Zheng did not return to Liberl immediately, but went straight to Crossbell - after all, there was a big deal involving several billion Miras that needed his approval.

Soon, Fang Zheng came to Crossbell again, but this time the silent person was a different person.

That's Ling.

"Brother Fang Zheng, what happened to Ling?"

Since entering Crossbell, Tita was surprised to find that Ling, who had been so cheerful and lively all the way, was now just staring out the window without saying a word, as if she wanted to see something, but also didn't want to see something.

"I've gone too far, and now I need to take a break."

Fang Zheng glanced at Ling, then looked away.

"I'll take you to the office."

Starlight Technology wanted to build the tallest tower in the entire Semria continent in Crossbell, so of course it was impossible to just set up a makeshift team and go straight into the game. In fact, when Li Xuelu first came to Crossbell, she had already purchased a storefront as the office of Starlight Technology in Crossbell and hired a lot of people, but now the main job of these people is not to promote Starlight Technology's products, but to be busy building the Starlight Tower.

A 500-meter-high tower, covering an area of ​​three blocks, requires a lot of manpower. In fact, when Fang Zheng brought the three girls to the Starlight Technology Office in the Port District, it was still a busy scene, and Li Xuelu hurriedly took Fang Zheng and others to the office.

"Sir, you are finally here."

"I said I'd come over to take a look. It looks like you did a pretty good job."

“Although this place is a little different from my hometown, it feels really good.”

Facing Fang Zheng's praise, Li Xuelu also smiled slightly.

“Also, building this kind of giant structure… is also a very new experience for me.”

"You'll be fine once you get used to it. So tell me, what other problems do you have that need to be solved?"

"First, there is the issue of the Rubacher Chamber of Commerce. You requested that the entire Starlight Tower span three blocks, namely Happy Street, the back alley and the central square. However, the Rubacher Chamber of Commerce is located in the back alley. We sent people to negotiate with them, but they were very arrogant and said they would never give in. The president of the Rubacher Chamber of Commerce even wanted to talk to you in person."

"Okay then, I'll go talk to him. What else?"

"Mayor McDowell also wants to talk to you about the development of the old city. Currently, the redevelopment of the old city has been hindered, and the city council seems to be having trouble making a decision in this regard..."

"I see. Anything else?"

"Finally, there is one more thing. IBC's president, Dita Kurois, wants to discuss the financing of the Starlight Tower with you."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"We at Starlight Technology have sufficient funds and do not need financing."

"Yes, sir, you once told me that, and I also told President Kurois that, but he insisted on discussing this with you, and said that IBC was willing to reach a cooperation agreement with Starlight Technology in this regard."

"Cooperation agreement..."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and revealed an amused smile.

"Then I'll go meet him when I have time."
