Tia kept silent, these were not the main reasons.

"Tia, you may still be young and don't know what the words 'Pope candidate' mean, but it won't do you any harm to stay away from the struggle for power."

Because Jurgen was still a little curious about Tia, he patiently wanted to continue getting along with Tia.

Although Tia understood this principle, she did not like to interact with others with a purpose or in order to gain some kind of benefit from the beginning.

There was no longer any childish innocence in Jurgen's eyes. His whole body exuded a gloomy aura. Moreover, the conversation with him yesterday also included a prying into her secrets. His gaze was extremely oppressive and targeted.

She thought she was not very smart, and playing with such people would only involve herself. Maybe the people being sold would have to count the money. But if she was cautious when making friends with others, it would be too tiring.

And now, after just a few days of hard work, one of the two conditions for her death, the lack of magic power, has been completely resolved. She will definitely not seek death, and her relationship with Joel and Zoltan is also pretty good. As long as she avoids Jurgen, she should be able to bypass this plot line of death.

If you make friends with others in fear all day long, you will be discovered sooner or later. It is better to be honest with each other.

For a moment, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

"As a reward for saving you the other day, can you tell me why you don't like me?"

Jurgen was the first to break the silence. He didn't like doing useless work. He turned down all the work for the day. He didn't want this result when he came here.

"You plan too much." Tia's soft voice was still blown into everyone's ears by the wind.

Jurgen's pupils shrank sharply, and then he chuckled. "If I didn't know how to scheme, I wouldn't be able to stand before you. But I promise you, I won't scheme against you."

"But you were still prying into my privacy or doubting me the day before yesterday, and my life was in danger." Tia didn't like this kind of useless guarantee and promise, and she pointed it out directly.

"Then I promise I won't do this again. I apologize to you for my rudeness that day." Jurgen took off his hood, put his left hand on his chest, and bowed sincerely to apologize.

Tia couldn't do anything about this now. Things had come to this point. If she continued to care about it, she would probably offend others.

"OK then."

"You'd better do what you say." Joel had been watching all this silently from the side, but he didn't want to interfere with his sister's choice. Seeing that Tia had given in, he stood up to support Tia.

"Of course. I'm a trustworthy businessman." Jurgen spoke with pride. "I've got a gift for you. Do you want to take a look?"

"Where to go?"

"Dessert shop, I'll give you a shop." As soon as Jurgen finished speaking, the butler Belt behind him handed the contract to Tia.

"No reward without merit, and I don't know how to run a shop now." Tia shook her head. Although she had some ideas when she went to the dessert shop last time, she didn't plan to take action now.

"The store is already operating very maturely. You can just collect the regular income. I haven't had much contact with you, so I don't know what gift I can give you. Please don't refuse my kindness."

In fact... in Jurgen's opinion, Tia is his lucky star. After he knew the use of the black glass stone, he developed it many times. Now the profit from its sales is more than worth this store.

Not to mention that he also has a slave trading market under his command. Originally, they cooperated with high-end nobles, but a year ago, a force from nowhere began to take away their piece of the cake. They only knew that a rat had stolen the cake, but they handled it very carefully. This time they just caught the tail, and maybe they could follow the clues to catch this big rat.

and so……

He really likes Tia.

But I can't tell these things to Tia,

Jurgen's expression was too sincere, so Tia finally nodded.

"I'm sorry, I don't have a gift for you. Can I give it to you next time?"

Damn it, it seems like I already owed Zoltan a gift.

"Of course." Jurgen was looking forward to what Tia would give him, and his tone was filled with excitement. "So, do you want to go to the dessert shop now?"

"Okay, brother, are you going?"

Hoel was a little worried and was about to agree when Butler Raleigh came over and whispered something in his ear.

"You guys go ahead, I have something else to take care of."

"Ok."

I have to say that without Joel around, I still feel a little less safe. It would be impolite for Tia to fall asleep in the car, but she wouldn't know where to put her eyes if she didn't sleep.

"Am I scary?"

"I'm a little shy."

This excuse works really well.

Tia thought to herself, but when she looked up, she felt her scalp tingling as Jurgen looked at her.

"Why do you wear a cloak all day long?"

“Because it’s cool.”

No, he initially wore the cloak so that people couldn't see his face clearly, and even kept his bangs long to cover his eyes.

Tia thought about the description in the plot and felt that she had gone a little too far.

Jurgen's father is dying. If Jurgen does not stand up for such a large chamber of commerce, his father's efforts will be in vain. However, the business world is like a battlefield, and they will not give in to you just because you are young.

The most serious incident was when Jurgen was stabbed in the back by someone close to him, locked in a cage for three days, and his abdomen was pierced. If the church had not sent someone to heal him with healing magic, Jurgen would probably have disappeared from this world.

In order to make an example of someone, Jurgen used the highest punishment for traitors in the Chamber of Commerce - breaking bones - after escaping. In order to establish his prestige, he watched the execution of the crime the whole time. However, the traitor stared at him and said that he would remember his appearance forever and curse him to hell.

Perhaps the punishment of broken bones was too painful, and the man's face was still covered in blood, making his expression particularly ferocious, so that Jurgen hardly slept for a whole week.

Moreover, during the year, Jurgen was often given psychological hints by the restless people in the Chamber of Commerce, and sometimes he would wake up accidentally from his sleep. Now Jurgen also turns on the light when he goes to bed at night.

Tsk... so pitiful.

Jurgen watched Tia go from being afraid to talk to him at first to being dazed when she heard the answer, and then suddenly looking at him with a look of pity.

He restrained his expression and unconsciously drew his head back a little into his cloak.

I hate this look of being pitied. I always feel that there is a kind of contempt from the superiors towards the inferiors. The weak ones need to be pitied, and weakness is fatal in the business world.

Tia saw Jurgen unconsciously turning his head away, and realized that her expression might be a little strange, so she immediately smiled ingratiatingly.

"hey-hey……"
