Chapter 389: Chapter 389: The Trap Set for the Keli Family

"We want to help our master with some things too," said the two little fox spirits, Anfei and Lu Qi’er, rushing in. They had been eavesdropping outside when they found Anya, and although Fang Jie was aware, he didn’t bother to address it.

After all, their loyalty was at full value; there was no need for any concern.

He wasn’t even worried about them being tricked into saying something, as the two little foxes had always been within his own territory. In his territory, it was highly unlikely for other creatures to appear.

Even if people from other places came to report and deliver, they were always in a rush.

"Do you two even want to deal with these things? Then come over and have a look," Fang Jie invited them to take a closer look, handing over the documents. However, as they looked, they were befuddled; while they were talented in cultivation, they were not quite as gifted in this area.

Forget analyzing and discussing; they could barely understand any of it.

"Uh, it seems that we don’t quite understand," Anfei said, a bit at a loss.

They had instinctively wanted to compete for their master’s favor but hadn’t expected these matters to be beyond their capabilities. Having been with Fang Jie for so long, the two little foxes lacked skills in this area.

"Alright, this isn’t your forte anyway. You should focus on what you excel at," Fang Jie reassured them.

The two little foxes immediately burrowed into Fang Jie’s embrace, wriggling about. "Master is the best."

As the foxes purred and nuzzled against him, Fang Jie’s mood flared up. He simply wrapped his arms around their waists: "Then show what you’re good at, and take good care of your master."

Fang Jie carried the two little foxes off to the rest room next to the study, leaving Anya alone with a flushed face.

It wasn’t long before muffled sounds came from the rest room, prompting Anya to quickly cover her little face and run toward the door. The faster she ran, the more her heart pounded.

What was going on? Her father, the emperor, had sent her here for this very reason.

Why was she holding back now when the opportunity had arisen?

But now Anya didn’t dare look back; every time she remembered what had just occurred, she couldn’t help wanting to flee.

Fang Jie didn’t bother with her; after all, Anya was too young. He didn’t want to end up with any trouble, so before entering the room, he made sure to shut the door. That made it impossible for Anya to enter even if she wanted to.

The next day, Anya was arranged by Fang Jie to go to Quisha Island.

With Fang Hao’s full support, although puzzled, he knew he needed to learn.

At the same time, Qin Lan also set aside her tasks to assist Anya.

"Not bad at all; you’ve stumbled upon a treasure this time. This princess is quite capable," Qin Lan said to Fang Jie, genuinely recognizing Anya’s abilities.

Perhaps still somewhat inexperienced compared to herself, but by no means deficient, merely lacking some experience.

However, due to their similar temperament, Qin Lan didn’t quite warm to Anya, even viewing her as a rival instinctively. It was an innate feeling.

Of course, even as rivals, it was a healthy competition, not the kind that was cutthroat.

Both belonging to the same camp, Qin Lan instinctively wanted to outperform Anya in abilities. And somehow, Anya also sensed something, so when the two were together, there was always a distinct tension in the air.

Fang Jie couldn’t figure it out, but seeing that there was no real hostility, he simply let it be.

With their cooperation, the plan gradually improved. By this time, they had reached the preparation stage, and a seemingly ordinary seascape began to undergo some special changes.

That day, across different ports and at different times, some materials began to be shipped.

Just as they started loading, the information reached the hands of the Keli family. The Eldest Young Master of the Keli family started to furrow his brow as he looked at the materials.

"It seems that there’s something off about these materials."

"Eldest Young Master, I found the issue. At eight o’clock the day after tomorrow, all these materials will pass through this position. It’s between two islands and looks wide, but it’s actually very narrow."

"All of them passing through here? How much are the total materials and how much time do they overlap?"

"Based on our analysis, they will consecutively pass through this area within ten minutes from different angles, and it’s very likely they’ll intersect. I’ll compile a list of the total materials right away."

The Eldest Young Master’s eyes lit up as he looked at the unfinished list.

The sheer quantity of materials was vast and highly valuable. If this operation succeeded, it would roughly amount to half a year’s income for his family during its peak years, not in its current state.

Based on the family’s current revenue, this equated to several years’ worth of income.

If they could seize all of it, it would not only bolster the family’s growth but also cause the Material Trading House to incur substantial losses. And all without risking multiple operations; this one move would be enough.

"Very well, if that’s the case, let’s wait for them right there the day after tomorrow and intercept them."

"But, Eldest Young Master, wouldn’t that be too much of a coincidence? Besides, with so many fleets, it’s uncertain whether we can handle their defense forces," one cautioned. Each fleet had its own defense.

Increased incidents lately had led to bolstered defense measures for the Material Trading House.

If they waited for the fleets to gather, the combined forces would prove formidable.

The Eldest Young Master frowned, then spoke, "According to our investigations, it’s just a coincidence, not an issue at all. On a safe route, the arrangements for all materials were coincidental; we just happened to find this vulnerability."

"As for combat power, let the second and third brothers join in. We must be the ones to devise and lead this plan. Though they will have their share of the credit, the main merit is mine."

To be cautious, the Eldest Young Master also had to involve his brothers.

This situation further convinced the Eldest Young Master that this wasn’t a trap set by their rivals. If successful, it would be a major accomplishment. As the leader of this endeavor, the largest share of credit would be his.

This would increase his chances of inheriting the family leadership. As for the possibility of his brothers causing trouble on this matter, the Eldest Young Master never considered it. If they dared to meddle at such a time, it would be viewed as lacking vision, and they would definitely lose their rights to succession.
