Chapter 52: Veronica’s pettiness

With Veronica’s profession as a weapon enchanter…

If she was willing to help out the Lisandris Family by helping to continue on the weapon enchantment shop that was previously managed by Mary Lisandris before she ended up dying during the incident that happened 20 years ago…

Lisandris Family’s financial situation would be able to easily become stable without long due to the great amount of spiritual stones that the weapon enchantment shop would be able to bring in for the Lisandris Family.

And in truth, aside from the reason that Lisandris Family’s founding ancestor possessed a peak-quality spiritual root and was level 10 of golden core realm, which was basically the highest cultivation realm one could possess within the North Continent…

Mary Lisandris’s profession as a weapon enchanter was the other main reason that the Lisandris Family was able to even hold the position of being the 2nd strongest family within Bright Moon City’s middle district, despite the fact that the Lisandris Family did not possess any single family member who possessed either a special body, or an element spiritual root.

Since Mary Lisandris and the Lisandris Family’s founding ancestor were the two main factors that contributed to the Lisandris Family’s ranking of being the 2nd strongest family within the Bright Moon City’s middle district…

The moment that both Mary Lisandris and the Lisandris Family’s founding ancestor died during the incident that happened 20 years ago…

It was only natural that the Lisandris Family would start going downhill, all the way to the pitiful state that the current Lisandris Family was in today.

…

Shortly after Veronica had left the conference room…

Everyone could be seen looking over to the person who possessed the lowest cultivation level within the conference room.

And the person that everyone was looking at was someone who possessed the lowest cultivation level amongst all of the foundation establishment realm cultivators that were within the conference room.

Upon seeing that everyone was looking at them, the corner of the person’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch, and after letting a helpless sigh, the person stood up from his seat, then walked out of the conference room.

Upon walking out of the conference room, the person began surveying around the area that was around the conference room, making sure that Veronica had truly left the area, and wasn’t hiding nearby so that she would be able to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Ever since they had found out that Veronica had actually been eavesdropping onto their meetings, this was something that he had to do every time that the higher ups within the Lisandris Family were holding a meeting.

And as for how they managed to find that out…?

It was due to a certain day, when Veronica suddenly barged into their meeting, then drag out a few higher ups to an open field that was used by the Lisandris Family’s family members to practice battling with each other…

Then while in front of everyone, Veronica began beating up those few higher ups to a pulp without any mercy, all the way until all of them had fainted and sustained grave injuries that would require months of healing in order to recover completely.

When the remaining higher ups that didn’t get beaten up by Veronica confronted her about what she had just done, Veronica merely tossed over a bunch of recording jades to them, and within all of those recording jades were video recordings that showed her being cursed at and talked badly about by those few people that she had just beaten up…

And as for the locations that those people were at when they cursed at her and talked badly about her…

It wasn’t difficult for everyone that had seen the video recordings to see that the locations of all the video recordings were of the same location, and the location was actually the conference room where their meetings were always held at…

…

Not long after…

After what seemed like 10 minutes had passed, the person who went out to survey the area could be seen finally returning back to the conference room.

“So? Is she still…?”

Right as the person who had went out to survey the area had sat down, someone could be seen immediately opening his mouth to ask.

“Nope, she’s gone. I made sure to use a detection tool while I was surveying around the area, and the detection tool didn’t go off at all. So, she’s definitely not hiding somewhere to eavesdrop on us.”

Upon hearing that, most of the people within the conference room immediately let out a sigh of relief, and quickly after, a few people could be seen immediately opening their mouths in successions and venting their frustrations.

“This ungrateful b… ungrateful woman is truly being too much! Did you all see the attitude that she had just shown to us?!”

“That’s right, that’s right! With the way that she acts, if one didn’t know better, they would think that she’s the one who’s calling the shots within the Lisandris Family!”

“Family head, are you truly going to allow that woman to just take one of the slots to join the main sect as an outer-disciple just like this? In the past 20 years, what has she even done for the Lisandris Family? Nothing! Nothing at all! And yet, she somehow feels that she is entitled to obtaining one of the slots?!”

“That’s right, family head! You have to do something about this!”

Meanwhile, faced with what everyone had said, both Henry and Damien could be seen to have a helpless look on their faces, while at the same time, the corner of their mouths could actually be seen to be twitching constantly.

And the reason for their reactions wasn’t because of what those people were saying…

But instead, because…

Right by the door, both of them could sense that someone was standing right by the door, just that, the person was currently invisible, most likely due to a concealment magical tool that the person was using.

And if both of their guesses weren’t wrong…

The invisible person who was currently standing right by the door was most likely Veronica…
