Bab 221: Devil’s Retaliation (Part 2)

"What… what did Nailisi tell you?" Saleen asked.

Confused, Lex replied, "Isn’t she bonded to you via soul bond? What else could she say? She said that you were interested in managing the northern side of Shengfeng and would like to open up a third port there. Now that I think about it, it’s not a bad idea. I can take a load off of my shoulders by entrusting you with the country of Shengfeng’s business affairs."

Saleen was livid. The veins in his neck looked ready to burst at any moment now. He was a mage, for crying out loud. He was not a nobleman and he definitely was not ready to be entrusted with such a huge responsibility. He wondered how Lex could be swayed so easily. He thought that Nailisi would turn into an obedient little imp under the restrictions of the soul bond. Looks like she loves control. We’ll need to fix that, Saleen thought grimly.
