Chapter 216 Higher Status

"I can turn you into a witch." Ye Zi whispered in Noriko Honma's ear.

After the words fell, Ye Zi stepped back a little, and looked at her mother again. At this time, Noriko Honma was looking at her with complicated eyes.

Ye Zi held back the idea of ​​trembling, she felt a series of emotions from her mother's eyes, not joy, nor surprise, but not the slightest loss.

It's more like... absolutely neutral and calm. As if Ye Zi's words did not provide unexpected surprises.

This was beyond Ye Zi's imagination. She didn't know her mother's attitude, so she held her breath and didn't dare to say any more. There is no doubt that the mother is the absolute superior, who can influence Xisheng's operation, and can also decide the life and death of Ye Zi. All the signals conveyed by Noriko Honma require Ye Zi to interpret and analyze deeply, otherwise Ye Zi will hardly leave this tea room alive today.

At any time, she dared not really treat her mother as a so-called relative. After all, Noriko Honma was both dangerous and indifferent, and now her two characteristics became more obvious.

"Ye Zi..." Mother stretched out her hand to Ye Zi.

According to the self-protection measures of biological stress instinct, Ye Zi immediately wanted to stand up and back away, trying to stay away from Noriko Honma as much as possible. But she restrained her animal instincts, it is this critical moment of choice that distinguishes people from beasts.

"I'm here." Ye Zi smiled slightly.

Instead of escaping, she approached her mother obediently, feeling her fragile and delicate skin like a plastic film, which was a soft shell that could not withstand any turmoil, covering the decayed organs.

Ye Zi stayed in her mother's arms, and Noriko Honma's movement was not big, but it was enough to make Ye Zi dare not break free.

The time left for Ye Zi is very short, and her thoughts are running fast.

Only one thing is certain—

If she wants to become Xisheng's successor, she must overcome every challenge without turning back or escaping.

"Mom..." Ye Zi said softly, "I have the 'star spar'."

"That is a stone that contains the power of a witch." Noriko Honma has heard of it, "...it needs to be matched with a proper ceremony."

"'The Witch's Mystery of Rebirth'," Ye Zi said, "...I also know people who can do this kind of thing."

"How?" Honma Noriko didn't move, her tone was very kind, but Ye Zi could feel the murderous intent behind every syllable.

She is so close to her mother that she can hear her mother's heartbeat, which is different from normal people and has a slower rhythm.

Now comes the critical point of divergence.

Either tell the whole story about Xu Yang and Farosha to increase the credibility of his words.

Either withhold key information, ambiguously, and cast a tinge of mystery over the whole thing.

No, not right.

The former will make the value of Ye Zi be compressed to the minimum. After all, Noriko Honma can directly go over Ye Zi and establish contact with Xu Yang and the others, and Ye Zi becomes a dispensable existence.

The latter will make himself sound like he is pretending to be mysterious, and greatly increase the risk of being killed or imprisoned. After all, Noriko Honma is vigorous and resolute and will not tolerate any form of affectation.

Then, there is only one way to do it.

"I can take charge of everything," Ye Zi looked up, "Mom, I can arrange everything, please wait patiently."

"It's up to you? Up to you? Little Yezi?" Honma Noriko stared into her daughter's eyes. Now, she can read from Yezi a kind of decisive execution, a kind of strong self-confidence, enough to cut off all chains of doubt .

"Yes." Ye Zi gently broke free from her mother's arms, Homma Kiko took the initiative to step back to make room for Ye Zi, "Mom, I have already contacted the best ritual performer, she is a mysterious figure who knows the past I also know everything about the ceremony. I also got asterites, the best and highest quality stones. Soon I will be able to arrange the whole thing in order, mother, I long for you to live, hope Only you are qualified to control Xisheng, which is a business created by you yourself. If you are not in charge of Xisheng, I would rather see it fall apart, go bankrupt and reorganize."

Honma Noriko stared at her daughter. Sometimes she felt that her offspring were like clones of herself. Watching them act was like watching another herself act. The closer their approach is to Noriko Honma, the more she feels benefited, as if she has successfully cultivated her own shadow, and their behavior constitutes an extension of her own will.

Kojima Leaf exhibits this quality.

"I can give you time." Noriko Honma took a deep breath.

Ye Zi was so excited that she almost collapsed on the ground, she survived, and she gained the trust of her mother, at least her mother would not kill her, nor would she take over the whole incident violently.

But she can't lose her composure, otherwise everything will fail.

"Please rest assured that I will provide the highest quality results." Ye Zi said softly, "My father is a mediocre person, but he also told me that the family motto of the Xiaodao family is 'what God gives, what God will take'. This is fate The opportunity given to us, please let me help you arrange it, mother, you will become a witch and have everything a witch has—longevity, mastery of magic power, and beauty that never fades."

"I'm looking forward to it." Honma Noriko said softly, "So, what do you think about other things? For example, the rebellion of the Blackfyre Revolution?"

"The actions of Black Flame Revolution have aroused the anger of all peace-loving people in the world," Ye Zi cleverly transformed different forms of words, "What we have to do is to isolate them, Xisheng has far more friends than Black Flame Revolution. "

"You know what to do, you have a clear head. I think you should get a higher status in the family." Honma Noriko felt relieved.

"Yes..." Ye Zi bowed her head obediently, and fell at her mother's feet, making a weak posture, lying down like a real little green leaf. She must always control the strength she shows, and accept it as she should.

"I'll give you Ephron," Noriko Honma said.

Ephron is a fund management company of Xisheng Holdings. It mainly issues a series of funds related to the concept of spices. It is a top-ranked fund company in the archipelago, with an asset management scale of 390 billion. More importantly, it is responsible for the operation, investment and maintenance of countless spice development companies in the Near East, which is equivalent to a key link in blood transfusion for mothers.

And, no matter how turbulent the economic situation gets, demand for spices will never shrink. If the basic needs of ordinary people are food, clothing, housing and transportation, the basic needs of decent people are spices. People with a little money will find ways to get some spices to improve their physique and prolong life, which will greatly help improve the quality of life in their later years. Spices, as absolute rare treasures, will always be in short supply.

"Yes." Ye Zi responded briefly, but her heart was already too excited.

Taking over Ephron means that she has successfully jumped up in Xisheng's system, and she is close to her mother's core sphere of influence. She is no longer a marginalized family member who fights around, and greatly shortens the distance from her mother!

She almost wanted to sing loudly, different degrees of joy bloomed in Ye Zi's heart, she wanted to run out, find Xu Yang's dodo, and completely release herself.

Noriko Homma could also see Ye Zi's current joy, she gave Ye Zi a gentle look, indicating that Ye Zi could go.

"I'm waiting for your news." Honma Noriko said.

Ye Zi got up with extremely slow movements, she longed to leave from the bottom of her heart, she wanted to disappear from this oppressive tea room in the blink of an eye, she wanted to get away from Xisheng Shrine immediately. But she must not appear too impatient, must be extremely slow, extremely obedient, fully showing her restraint and discipline.

"Then, goodbye." Ye Zi bowed to her mother, and then slowly left.

After Ye Zi left, Noriko Honma called his personal guard, Fumihiko Yanagawa, and he walked in quickly.

"Ma'am." Yanagawa Fumihiko knelt in front of Noriko Honma without looking up, showing an absolutely loyal attitude.

"You also saw how the Black Flame Revolution insulted Xisheng." Honma Noriko said.

"They must have the confidence to do so." Yanagawa Fumihiko said, "The archipelago is under blockade."

"Send a letter to the northern military industry, they should also enter the game, and at the same time guarantee our rear."

"Yes." Yanagawa Fumihiko nodded.

Noriko Honma picked up a cup of essence tea and tasted it slowly. It was rich in substances excavated and extracted from the main body of the forest, and it was also a key means for her to increase her life span.

Rizhi Yanduo was imprisoned infinitely in Kyoto, while the northern military industry imprisoned the Lord of the Forest.

Hizhiyan was out of trouble, and Noriko Honma thought that the Lord of the Forest might also be rescued similarly.

"Also," Honma Noriko ordered, "ask them to transfer the position of the Lord of the Forest. If they can't do it, I can contact Qiyin on their behalf."

"I will emphasize the importance of this matter with the northern military industry." Yanagawa Fumihiko obeyed the order.

"And..." Noriko Honma looked towards the direction where Ye Zi went away, "...I want you to do one thing."

She secretly entrusted Fumihiko Yanagawa with a task, and Fumihiko Yanagawa quickly understood it.

"It must be done." Yanagawa Fumihiko stood up.

He was worried that there would be omissions in Ye Zi's plan, and that this little Ye Zi and her friend would hurt Noriko Honma. However, after hearing the task that Honma Noriko gave him, he was relieved.

At least Madame also designed the ultimate insurance.
