Chapter 281 Departure

Name:The Fox Goddess Author:
"Can I come with you?" Anna asked Yuki as she stood up and held Yuki's sleeve meekly. She wanted to be with Yuki, also she was curious why someone is looking for Yuki.

"Stay here, for now, I will come to find you later since I also want to talk to you about something later," Yuki answered softly, she didn't want to expose Anna to this kind of thing as it would get dirty when she starts her conversation with Asakura.

"Okay…" Anna reluctantly agreed as she let go of Yuki's sleeve, she then sat back down on her seat and continued eating her breakfast. Yuki finally made her way toward where Asakura was and behind her were King Dagart, and Lian.

"Miss Yuki is here." Asuka opened the door and announced. Asakura sprung up as she heard Asuka's voice. She was extremely nervous that she didn't even get to take a short nap like she planned to. But now, she became even more nervous when she saw her cousin and uncle.

"U- Uncle. Lian…" Asakura stepped back and set her eyes on the both of them, she was never expecting to meet both of them. She then looked at Yuki with shock in her eyes.

"They wanted to know why you wanted to see me," Yuki spoke up, she then calmly sat down on the sofa right across from Asakura and crossed her legs.

"It's good that you are not if you were even a second late. I would have probably punished you right now. Now that you're here let's get started." Yuki cuts Asakura before she can speak. She wanted to get this over with as fast as possible as she would be busy in the incoming days.

"Yes. My Colossal Dragon Auction House would be honored to work under you, Miss Yuki." Asakura easily accepted Yuki's offer, if anyone received this kind of offer, they would accept it no matter what. It was once in a lifetime to be able to work under Yuki and even possibly be friends with her so that her connections would be much stronger.

"WHAT!? You are going to work under her? But isn't your Auction House already successful? It is already as strong as a Kingdom though, so why?" Lian asked, she didn't expect her cousin to work under Yuki, it was not because she is against Asakura working under Yuki, but she was glad.

"Well…" Asakura didn't want to tell the reason, but one look from Yuki caused her to get goosebumps, so she was forced to tell the real reason why she chose to work for Yuki. After hearing Asakura's reason, King Dagart held his forehead as he sank to the sofa. He could never believe that Asakura would bring calamity to their family.

"Why did you think it was a good reason to lie about such a thing!? You could have asked her directly, then maybe there is a chance. Even if it's extremely low." King Dagart said in frustration.

"I'm sorry. This is why I'm here." Asakura said meekly, she was quite afraid of her Uncle because she is a strict person. Now, she regretted what she did, using Yuki's name for her benefit.

"It's fine now, just don't do it again, or else. I will destroy your Auction House to the ground." Yuki waved her hand, she didn't want to see any drama right in front of her.

"Now that you work for me you only need to know two things. Don't regret what you did, and don't betray me." Yuki said all that she wanted to say and left, she left the three of them in the room so that they could talk around themselves.

"Asakura, do you have any updates for me?" Yuki asked Asuka as soon as she got into her office, Asuka was her right-hand woman in terms of her business. If she is gone, Asuka would be the one who will control everything. Even though Asuka was hesitant at the beginning because she doesn't have any knowledge of such a thing, because of Yuki's order and teaching she became good and the right person for the job.

"There's nothing that changes much Miss Yuki, for this week you have gained 20 Million Purple Gold for our Main Branch and 10 Million for our Sub Branch. In total, we have gained 150 Million Purple Gold. Also, the construction for our next Branch in the Elf Kingdom is about to be completed, so we need a representative to control that Branch. Should I start hiring now?" Asuka updated Yuki on how much they have gained this week. Asuka also informed her about the nearing completion of their Branch, this time it was built in the Elf Kingdom.

"No, you don't need to find one. I already have someone in mind. After those three finish their conversation, inform Asakura about this plan and let her lead that Branch you already know the procedure for doing it right? Yuki asked Asuka and after getting a confident answer from her she smiled, she then placed the papers in her hands to pat Asuka on top of her head.

"Good, is that everything?" Yuki asked Asuka, to which she answered that it was all she had to report. Just as Yuki is about to leave, she remembered something and assigned a difficult task to Asuka.

"Oh yes, I will be gone for a few weeks. Maybe even months, so I trust you to take care of the business. The papers that I need to sign are all ready, as for the expansion. Do you think you can handle it, you will also need to have meetings with our partners. If you can't handle it, I can assign someone to help you." Yuki asked Asuka if she was ready for the job, Yuki's question made Asuka stop for a moment. But after she recovered her emotions, she answered Yuki with pure confidence.

"Yes, please trust me. I will be able to do anything as long as you ask me." Asuka said she would never want to disappoint the person who has given her everything that she currently has. Because of Yuki, her family is not in poverty anymore, she has her land, and most importantly her family is very happy which was her goal from the start when she first started working. She was rich enough to even hire her maids.

Yuki has even given her the chance to retire and enjoy the rest of her life as her savings are already enough for a few thousand years. She didn't need to work anymore, but because she wanted to stay with Yuki. She refused the offer, now she is Yuki's main maid/secretary. Her position in Yuki's mansion is extremely high.

"Alright then, I shall trust you with this operation. But if you ever need any help just ask Yumie, and Katsumi can help you. They also have a vast knowledge about what we are doing." After finding out that Yumie is quite good at handling business despite only being 10 years old is amazing, so of course, she taught her the ways. Her only flaw is that she is too soft, she doesn't want to take too much from her partner, and she wants to be fair because of her kind heart. So when it comes to dealing with business partners, Katsumi got that handled.

"Yes, I will ask for their help when I need it," Asuka promised Yuki, and after saying a few more words, Yuki left to go find Anna about her departure.

"Hey, are you busy?" Yuki asked as she entered her room. Anna was currently laying in bed and reading some news.

"No. You said earlier that you wanted to talk with me. Are you done with the business?" Anna asked with a smile as she sat up on the bed to give Yuki some room.

"Yes, I'm done. I will be going out to do some experiments because it is going to be dangerous. I will have to go to a deserted Galaxy or something. I may be gone for a few weeks at best, but most likely I will be gone for 3 Months at most." Yuki informed Anna about her departure, it was a hard decision but she needs to do it as she wants to get stronger quickly.

"Does this mean that I can't come with you?" Anna asked in a sad tone, just the thought of her being alone for 3 Months made her heartache. She felt like she couldn't do it even if she tried.

"F*ck…" Yuki cursed inwardly, she doesn't want to take Anna with her because the chances of her failing to make weapons out of the Soul Realm are low, and if she ever fails. She will explode a whole Universe by accident.

A.N

I decided to change how destructive the Explosion of a Soul Realm is, in Chapter 222 I wrote that an Overseer Peak Tier can destroy millions of Universes. I decided to change that to Galaxies, and the explosion of a Spirit Gathering could destroy a whole Universe.

"You are there, Yuki. Why are you even afraid of taking her? At most, you are probably the one that she needs to watch out for because you might eat her." Momozano laughs, but Yuki gets irritated by her joke. But she didn't lash out, and just took a deep breath.

"Who said that you can't come with me? This is the reason why I'm saying this, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to come with me." Yuki said in response as she caressed Anna's cheek gently.
