Chapter 770: Empress’s Invitation

That was the only word that could be used in this situation. While Dark Moon Organization did ask for a portion of their earning, it was only 20%.     

In fact, the Dark Moon Organization would be the one to give information in the middle area.     

The only catch was that they had to move in accordance to what the Dark Moon Organization asked. In short, their target for robbery would be controlled by Dark Moon Organization.     

It was not exactly a bad deal.     

After all, the Dark Moon Organization had stated that they would not interfere with the daily operation in the West. They could still operate as usual and the Dark Moon Organization would not do anything much with it.     

"Elder, is this decision right?" one of them asked slowly.     

"I don\'t know." The man was looking at the agreement on the table. In the end, he sighed. "But since it had come to this, let\'s follow the agreement first. In the future, if there\'s a chance, we might be able to amend it."     

"Yes."     

The people from Forest Fire didn\'t really think that there was anything wrong with this agreement either. And for now, the collaboration would start to take place.     

…     

Nan Hua returned to her room and after tossing her clothes to the side, she rested. Her plan involving the Forest Fire had only appeared because she remembered the smuggler and also his activity.     

He was the best at disguising someone and sneaked them into other kingdom\'s territory.     

It was also because of this that there were some people\'s movement from time to time and Nan Hua wanted to make use of him. She had already moved some people to Zhang Xu Kingdom but their number was limited and it took quite a lot of time just to prepare their identity.     

The smuggler would be able to move people more smoothly.     

And that was Nan Hua\'s goal.     

But it was not the time for her to pay a visit to that person yet. For the time being, she would build the good collaboration with Forest Fire. The only big organization that was in contact with the smuggler was Forest Fire.     

As for the reason why, Nan Hua was not sure.     

Ordinary people would only get the information they needed after paying a sum through mediator. And Nan Hua didn\'t want to just meet with the mediator but with the real brain of this operation.     

After mulling for some time, Nan Hua fell asleep.     

The days passed quietly.     

Even though there were some restlessness because of the preparation for Emperor Yang Zhou\'s inauguration, the surface looked calm. There were some rumors circulating about Nan Hua and Nan Shu Cheng, but Nan Hua ignored it.     

From the moment she decided to leave Nan Shu Cheng\'s Residence, such rumors were bound to spread.     

She also heard of Luo Qing Wei frequent visit to Long Family Residence in order to treat Old Madam Long. Nan Hua herself didn\'t pay a visit there anymore because it would be improper if she kept on going there for no reasons at all.     

She spent her time with her sulking grandfather.     

A week went by.         

And Nan Hua received an invitation letter from Empress Xiao Qiang. After her marriage with Emperor Yang Zhou, Empress Xiao Qiang had started to establish her authority. Now, it was time for her to have some talk with the other nobles too.     

"Grandfather, there\'s a tea party with Empress Xiao." Nan Hua looked at her grandfather carefully. "I have been invited."     

"I heard about that." Old Master Nan\'s face was not exactly good. Because of the recent rumors regarding Nan Shu Cheng that involved Nan Hua, he had been wanting to rush over to Nan Shu Cheng\'s Residence in order to clear it up.     

Nan Hua\'s reputation hadn\'t been that good lately.     

But not many people talked about it on the surface because they were afraid of Nan Family\'s influence. With Old Master Nan\'s status as the only Grand Duke in Fei Yang Kingdom, who would dare to cross him?     

They would be seeking death.     

And Nan Hua was protected by him, so the rumors ended up more in her favor and putting Nan Shu Cheng down. But it was inevitable that there were still some rumors that said Nan Hua was not a filial child and so on.     

"I have to come, Grandfather."     

"If there\'s anyone who dare to slander you, tell me and I\'ll beat them up, alright?" Old Master Nan looked at his granddaughter and smiled kindly.     

Nan Hua looked at her grandfather speechlessly.     

She was sure that Old Master Nan actually wanted to make use of this chance to eliminate the Nan Family enemies. But if talking bad about her resulted in the entire family\'s destruction, wouldn\'t people start to call her a tyrant and a monster in secret?     

"I can handle it, Grandfather," Nan Hua said in a low tone.     

Old Master Nan snorted. "Those nobles better keep their mouth shut if they still want to keep their lives."     

"Mhm."     

Nan Hua didn\'t need Old Master Nan to make a move by himself. Once they crossed the line, Nan Hua was sure that she would be able to destroy their family easily. As for now?     

She had the information agency, Dark Moon Organization, and even the Forest Fire working for her.     

They could simply leak important information, assassinate the important family member, or stole from them.     

How easy would it be?     

Seeing Nan Hua\'s calm expression, Hou Lin felt chills on his back. He had the feeling that whoever dared to truly cross Nan Hua during this delicate time would be the first person who would have their entire family face destruction.     

As for Nan Hua suffering loss during the tea party?     

That was impossible.     

Nan Hua was not the type to stay silent and suffer. One way or another, her opponent would be the one who would suffer in her hand or through other people\'s hand.
