Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength
Chapter 365 - 364 The Problem

Chapter 365: Chapter 364 The Problem

"This matter..."

Upon hearing Spell’s words, Ronald didn’t initially focus on the ownership of the Blue Kite Flower.

Instead, he subtly sensed the tone of Spell’s voice at that moment.

His friend...

If it was merely an act of theft or for some other simple reason, the person returning the Blue Kite Flower would usually adopt a more honest apology or a teasing tone.

However, Spell’s words at the moment vaguely contained a dissuasive meaning.

— ’You don’t need to worry about this matter.’

About the Blue Kite Flower, it seemed there were other key points that Ronald didn’t know of?

"..."

As Ronald’s face showed a contemplative expression, Spell, standing still, read something from it.

Lowering her gaze, she asked with a subtly changed tone,

"Ronald, do you never watch entertainment news?"

"..."

Ronald paused as well.

He really hadn’t paid attention to entertainment news.

Current politics, business shifts, and some precious information were where Ronald’s energy primarily focused, and that was also an area where the Ginkgo Leaf Business Alliance had an edge.

Moreover, Ronald had once lived on Earth in the twenty-first century.

Compared to that era when the entertainment industry was booming, the entertainment industry in this world was just getting started.

Comparing the two, the entertainment news that Spell mentioned,

Ronald indeed had little interest in.

Realizing that Ronald truly knew nothing, Spell walked up to him and then playfully punched him in the chest:

"You could at least pay some attention to the industry I work in!"

Ronald gave an embarrassed smile:

"I’ve been busy trying to figure out the ’Nine Commandments Meeting.’"

"I naturally didn’t have time to pay attention to other things."

"..."

Seeing Ronald’s slightly apologetic expression, Spell shook her head helplessly.

"Sigh—"

She sighed, then started walking towards the distance.

At the same time, she explained to Ronald:

"This matter actually relates to our theater’s reputation and personal interests."

"Because lately, political figures from other countries have started coming to Springs, including Ms. Reidicia Mursoni."

"..."

With that, Ronald instantly understood Spell’s aim.

The Ms. Reidicia Mursoni mentioned by Spell was officially an honorable countess from the neighboring country of Grid and also the beloved wife of Prince Washington Mursoni.

And on the mysterious side of this society’s underbelly.

The couple was responsible for their country’s internal mystic forces and were almost certain to take on a kingdom’s responsibilities. Although not a world-leading power like Grid, it still was a significant nation.

And such a countess’s arrival in Grid.

Naturally involved many related interests.

The last piece was the entertainment news that Spell mentioned.

Countess Reidicia, before marrying the Prince, was actually just a downtrodden noble’s second daughter, who even had experiences performing in theaters. It was precisely through a performance that she met the Prince, and the two then went through a quite complicated destiny to finally come together.

Such a figure coming to Springs and being associated with the Oak Tree Theater, the empire’s premier venue, was indeed expected.

Having organized his thoughts, Ronald immediately continued to ask:

"So what issues has such a person caused with your side?"

Hearing his question, Spell looked around the area.

After confirming that there were no idle people nearby, she then explained to Ronald:

"I see you’re not interested in entertainment news, so I won’t mention that here. Anyway, this Countess’s practice of mysterious side magic is related to plants and flowers, which is why there are these actions that cater to her preferences."

So it was about catering to the preferences of this important figure...

Hearing this, Ronald finally understood the whole story.

Because the opportunity to interact with this important figure was right in front of him, Heloise had thus committed today’s theft, stealing the blue strange kite flower which the "Ginkgo Leaf Business Alliance" had prepared to offer to the queen.

Placing such a thing in front of the neighboring country’s Imperial Concubine, it also matched her own school of mysterious magic.

Indeed, it was tempting.

While continuing to walk forward, Ronald continued:

"However, if that’s the case, returning the flower to me won’t cause any problems, right?"

"..."

Upon hearing Ronald’s inquiry, Heloise remained silent for a few seconds.

Finally, she shook her head and said:

"A Hunter walking into the woods must choose between honey and a bear’s paw."

"If it comes to making a decision between these two."

"Ronald, I choose you."

"..."

Heloise’s words stemmed from an allegory about a hunter, meaning that people make choices in favor of what they prefer when faced with important matters.

However, an allegory is just an allegory.

After having interacted with Heloise for so long, Ronald was well aware of his friend’s identity and habits.

She was not like him.

Living alone, he just had to be responsible for his own safety and conscience.

Heloise choosing to help him in this incident meant that losing the blue strange kite flower was absolutely a significant blow to her personally.

At the least, her organization would basically consider this a serious dereliction of duty by Heloise.

The consequences that this would eventually cause,

Ronald could also roughly guess.

"..."

As Ronald fell silent, it was natural for Heloise not to notice.

Seeing her friend’s worry on his face, she smiled and patted Ronald on the shoulder:

"Hey, Ronald!"

"Don’t go imagining things on your own."

"If you feel guilty, it would be better to help me seduce Reidicia Mursoni, not only is she beautiful, but she also has quite a fondness for handsome men like you."

"What do you think, want to consider it?"

"..."

Hearing the implication behind Heloise’s words,

Ronald immediately gave her a sidelong glance, his tone slightly more serious than before:

"So you don’t want my help?"

"..."

Seeing the attitude of her friend in front of her, Heloise no longer feigned casualness.

She placed her hands behind her back, walking forward while speaking in a reflective tone:

"This isn’t about whether I want it or not."

"It’s about if you get involved, I can’t be sure whether it’s really a good thing or not, this isn’t just a simple matter of networking."

"..."

Dealing with the Imperial Concubine of a country, or rather, a person in charge of a country’s secret magic, naturally wouldn’t be just about a flower.

Ronald thought carefully for a few seconds.

Then he seriously said to Heloise:

"When we get back, just give me the flower."
