The reincarnated devil was blessed by the goddess

"I'm back, bro."

Xiang Mingri stood there quietly, his eyes locked on her from the moment she appeared.

Hearing her voice, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, and his smile was still as gentle as before.

But those deep eyes hid some difficult to describe complex emotions, like relief and emotion.

"You've...changed a lot."

He stared at Theresa and finally said this softly.

"You shouldn't say that. You should say I've grown up."

Theresa raised her chin slightly, shrugged her shoulders, and tilted her head playfully, revealing a sense of ease and confidence that she had never had before.

Xiang Mingri shifted his gaze from Theresa to the vigilant guards and waved.

"She is indeed my sister. She has been traveling these years. Look, her illness has been cured."

The guards looked at each other with confusion in their eyes for a long time, but finally retreated according to his signal.

"Why don't you let your brother hug you? We haven't seen each other for so long."

Open your arms to tomorrow with a hint of expectation in your eyes.

“There are so many people here…” Theresa scratched her face awkwardly. “Let’s talk about it when we get home.”

"uh-huh?"

Xiang Mingri glanced at the guards and the scarred man and his group intentionally or unintentionally.

He did it on purpose. If he wanted to help, he naturally had to show some sincerity, and he also wanted everyone to see his intimacy and trust.

"Alright alright......"

Theresa smiled helplessly, and finally slowly stretched out her arms and hugged Xiang Mingri.

This long-lost hug is so nostalgic.

"Ah... Fatty, why is there a "日" character in the name of Hiyori Castle? Maybe it's because it's so hot here."

The scarred man said this intentionally or unintentionally, and glanced at his companions who were staggering behind him. If they continued like this, they would probably all suffer from heatstroke.

"You go back first."

Xiang Mingri gently combed his sister's sweat-soaked hair and said, "Go ask Rebecca to prepare some food and drinks, and then you can have a good rest."

"Know it!"

Where Theresa ran, the friction of the fabric of her clothes flew out, and tiny sparks flickered in the scorching air.

He stared at the fleeting flames and then turned his gaze back to Mingri.

The scarred man rubbed his rough hands and took a half step forward awkwardly.

"Um...Boss Xiang? Do you think we should...hehe..."

Judging from their conversation just now, the man in front of him must be very rich.

Xiang Mingri turned slowly, and the gentle expression he had when facing his sister just now faded away like the tide, and he glanced back and forth at the people in front of him.

"How... did you know her?"

The scarred man scratched his head, a look of reminiscence appearing on his face.

"Well, it's a long story. We went to Tianyuan before and encountered life-threatening situations. It was a near-death experience. Just when we were about to give up, my aunt appeared and saved our lives. Later, by chance, we ran into her again on a boat. Don't you think this isn't fate?"

"Then what are you planning to sell me?" Xiang Mingri crossed his arms over his chest.

When the scarred man heard this, he immediately became alert. He quickly took off a small cloth bag from his waist, took out a piece of mineral emitting a unique luster from it, and handed it to Xiang Mingri with both hands.

"Boss Xiang, we have top-grade ore from Tianyuan here. Look at its quality. It's definitely something you can't find anywhere else."

"It's really good and quite rare. But I have mines right here at home, and they haven't even been fully mined yet. Tianyuan is so far away, and I know all too well how many hardships and dangers it would take to get there. For me, a stable supply is the most important thing. Why take such a risk when it's so close?"

The man with the scar naturally understood that what Xiang Mingri said was true. After all, they had come all the way from Tianyuan.

There is no reason for Xiang Mingri to give up his own stable mining resources to purchase their special Tianyuan ore.

The source of the ore in Scar Man's hands is extremely unstable. Once it is put on the market, their own mining industry will definitely suffer a considerable impact.

Even if this ore really has something special, given Xiang Mingri's style, he would definitely not sell it easily to avoid disrupting the existing business structure.

When an unprecedented novelty appears in the public eye.

People's reactions are often complex and unpredictable, and acting rashly will only bring many uncontrollable risks.

However, the scarred man's next words were like an unexpected beam of strong light, which instantly attracted Xiang Mingri's attention and made his eyes suddenly brighten.

"Boss Xiang, I don't think I ever mentioned selling the mine from the beginning to the end, right?"

Xiang Mingri raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, and asked, "Oh? You mean, the ore in these full boxes is not for sale?"

"Look at us, we have nothing. Just from that, you can imagine how shabby our boat is."

The scarred man looked around at his ragged and poorly equipped companions and sighed.

Having said that, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, outlining a confident arc.

"But even so, we managed to get so much ore with the worst equipment and facilities. Think about it, if the equipment and facilities were better, what could we achieve?"

"Interesting. So this batch of your goods is just a stepping stone to prove your strength, right?"

Xiang Mingri instantly understood the scarred man's intention, and a hint of interest surged in his heart.

"It's such a pleasure to talk to smart people! Yes, this is our stepping stone!"

The scarred man nodded vigorously, his face filled with excitement.

"We've already achieved such a bounty with our shoddy equipment. If we could secure funding, we'd be even more powerful. Not only would we be able to acquire even more high-quality ore, but we could also open up new waterways and land trade routes for you, expanding our commercial territory!"

“A great idea…”

Xiang Mingri rubbed his chin and looked at the person in front of him with a new respect.

Many people simply sell goods to make money and then continue to work hard.

What Scar Man wants is an entire trade chain.

The reason is simple. With more manpower, we need to fully utilize their brainpower instead of hard labor.

"Come with me, we'll talk in detail then." Xiang Mingri waved, signaling the scarred man and his group to follow.

"Let's go, brothers!"

The scarred man waved happily to the group of people behind him.

I believe that in the near future, he will become a real captain.
