"Another collapse occurred in the third mining area. Fortunately, our personnel have successfully evacuated the area safely. The aftermath has been handed over to the Thorn Family.

At this time, Xiang Mingri was busy dealing with piles of documents in the office.

When he heard the dwarf Frank report the mine collapse, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "How many times has this happened this month?"

Frank replied respectfully, "Mr. Mine Owner, this is the third time this month."

Mingri was concentrating on the task at hand when he suddenly heard the news. He stopped what he was doing, gently pressed his temples, and said to Frank with difficulty, "Why are they so anxious?"

"At first, the Thorn Family only controlled Mining Area No. 1, but now, they have seized Mining Area No. 2 from us. Their ambitions go beyond that, and they are trying to occupy our Mining Area No. 3. If we do not take action, we will have to retreat to Mining Area No. 4." Frank reported the current situation in detail.

"Are there any casualties?" Xiang Mingri asked.

"Not yet, but...it depends on your determination."

Xiang Mingri was silent for a moment, then waved to Frank to leave, "You go back first."

The dwarf Frank had just left, and soon after, the head gardener Rebecca arrived here.

"Master Xiang Mingri, would you like to enjoy some afternoon tea and rest for a while?"

Rebecca brought a plate filled with exquisite desserts and gently placed it next to Xiang Mingri's table.

"Is the work in the back garden finished?" Xiang Mingri raised his head and asked Rebecca.

"I've handed it over to someone else. Don't forget, besides being the head gardener, I'm also the head maid." Rebecca replied with a smile.

"When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"

"Just two days ago, they decided I should take the position. But you need to pull yourself together."

"I'm sorry, but I have no motivation at all right now. I don't even want to take care of the mine. I think even if I do nothing, I can probably still live on the assets left behind, right?"

"But... this happened when your father was alive..." Rebecca opened her mouth, as if she wanted to continue persuading, but seeing Mingri's expression, she finally chose to remain silent.

"How is Theresa doing? Did you give her another snack?" He changed the subject and asked Mingri with concern.

"Miss Theresa should have finished her snack and is probably sleeping peacefully in the sunshine amidst the sea of ​​flowers," Rebecca replied. "Don't worry, she's always serious and responsible about her work."

"Is that so...that's great." Xiang Mingri sighed softly, looking slightly relieved.

"However, sometimes I get carried away and mistake her for Miss Sunflower," Rebecca continued. "Although they look similar, their personalities are different. Miss Sunflower is innocent and full of curiosity about everything in the world, willing to try new things. Miss Theresa, on the other hand, is reserved and shy. Although she has a desire to do something, she often hesitates."

"Oh? There is indeed a big difference between them. It's quite pleasant to chat with her for a while every day." Xiang Mingri said leisurely, leaning his head on the chair.

......

Ahhh! What the hell is going on?!

A few days ago, Theresa was wandering around the manor alone and happened to find a training ground.

It turns out there is a place specifically for training here.

Maybe it is to deal with various possible emergencies. After all, the world of the rich is full of variables and dangers.

It turns out that it is better to accumulate some wealth, so that at least you won’t be targeted by others.

What’s even more interesting is that Xiang Mingri’s subordinates, who originally looked cold and serious, became extremely enthusiastic when they saw Theresa, with bright smiles on their faces, and affectionately called her Sunflower.

But even though Theresa revealed her true identity, they didn't seem to care. They continued to do their own thing and ignored her words.

Theresa even began to wonder if they did it on purpose.

Later, after listening to what they said, I learned that these people were actually displaced people with nowhere to go, but were lucky enough to be taken in by Master Xiang Mingri.

At first, everyone participated in the training with a mentality of just getting by, thinking that every day they lived was a day earned.

However, everything has changed since her sister appeared.

She often stood quietly by and watched them train silently.

Even though they were just watching from afar, she felt an inexplicable surge of strength and motivation in everyone's heart. It was as if her presence had infused everyone with endless energy and hope.

Therefore, everyone loves her.

When they learned the sad news of her passing, everyone fell into deep self-blame, thinking that they had not done enough to protect her.

From that moment on, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared, and only by training could they temporarily forget the sorrow.

This situation continued until Theresa appeared.

Well, let them indulge in this nostalgia. At least this will boost their morale and make them train harder.

After all, it's part of the job.

But Theresa's exclamation did not come from this; the problem lay in her control over the arcane art of light.

The white light that was once easily controlled has now turned into a golden light that is difficult to control.

"Buzz buzz buzz... snap!"

That's right, I lost control and couldn't even transform a kunai.

Theresa wasn't sure if this change had increased her power.

But she knew that she could not use it as freely as before.

I have a headache.

Theresa wanted to ask them for advice, but found that their answers were surprisingly consistent.

Initially, they knew nothing about the arcane arts of light, but somehow, they gradually gained a basic understanding.

They mentioned that Sunflower had never expressed concern about this, so they didn't know what was going on.

She had once, armed with a training stick, easily defeated all of them.

Only when sparring with her father does she display some real skills.

But everyone present could clearly feel that her sister was trying her best to restrain each of her attacks, as if she was deliberately suppressing some kind of power.

Perhaps, Theresa could try to make a breakthrough in this direction.

They have a point.

At this moment, Theresa had just finished enjoying a delicious dessert and was lying comfortably alone in the endless sea of ​​sunflowers.

These sunflowers are exceptionally tall, like a dense forest. They not only block out the sunlight, but more importantly, make people feel extremely comfortable lying in them.

She gently stretched out her palm, and a dazzling golden ball of light slowly emerged.

It just hovered there quietly, but then began to tremble slightly, and finally exploded suddenly, turning into countless dazzling golden light spots.

Seeing this, Theresa simply fell asleep.

Whatever, go to sleep! There will always be a way!
