"Except for Qiong, they should all have shareholders of Benson Economics and Trade behind them. Those shareholders are basically from side branches of the family. I guess they may want to discuss some business cooperation with you." Looking at the several contacts sitting with Qiong, Deman said to Mu Hua.

These contacts are said to be supervisors of the successor trials, but they are more like mouthpieces between the Benson family heirs and their backers.

But no matter what their real duties are, Mu Hua is not interested in them.

And it's a bit mercenary. From Mu Hua's current perspective, the Benson family doesn't seem to be very attractive to him in terms of strength or wealth.

At most, he was concerned about the impact on Samantha and Tabitha. Otherwise, he wouldn't have put so much thought into stabbing Ivy in the kidney and would have just found an excuse to create an accident.

"I'm not interested in Benson Economics and Trade, and don't let them bother me with the trial. By the way, you're not curious about the situation of the courtyard war at all?" Mu Hua asked Deman.

"I'm not an adventurer. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. I don't want to hear some disappointing stories about death and injury." Deman said indifferently.

"Oh, as long as you like it." Deman was rather resistant to the courtyard. Everyone has their own aspirations. Mu Hua did not say much either. He chuckled and saw Qiong waving over there again. Mu Hua turned around and walked in the direction where they were.

As Mu Hua approached, the four of them looked at Mu Hua, some with smiles on their faces. Qiong was about to say hello to Mu Hua, but saw that Mu Hua just nodded to her and walked straight past them, with smiles frozen on their faces.

At a round table near the window, Padget was flipping through a paper magazine, wearing a knitted woolen shawl.

The young woman had an air of arrogance that kept strangers away. The winter sun shone into the room through the frosted glass, and her face exuded a tranquility that made people want to "dirty" her.

"Are you back? How was it? Did you encounter any danger?" Glancing at the embarrassed people not far away, Paige put down the magazine in her hand and asked Mu Hua who was walking towards her.

"Fortunately, the monsters were more restrained and got some benefits." Mu Hua sat opposite Paddy and patted the big orange dog who was following him. The big orange dog walked to Paddy with lazy steps, and when he leaned over, he put his furry tiger head on Paddy's plump thighs.

"Hehe, you are really good at trying to please people. Where did you get the tiger?" The ferocious tiger is very lovable when it is well-behaved. Paige stroked the tiger's head and asked Mu Hua with a sweet giggle.

"Summoned beasts, do you like them? I'll give you a few." Mu Hua said in a natural tone.

"Then should I collect some magic books on tiger summoning?" Paddy gave Mu Hua a charming look and kneaded the soft cheek of the big orange boy, with fondness flashing in her eyes.

Summoned beasts can be transferred, except for the summoned beasts attached to Mu Hua's skills. But after the soul tide was perfected, it seems that the summoned beasts in Mu Hua's hands can also transfer the summoning authority.

Not to mention Daju, even his skeleton undead who were squeezed out by the Terror Riders and lying in the summoning space will do.

However, if you want to obtain a summoned beast given by others, you must at least learn the summoning magic to summon it. Otherwise, you won’t even have a summoning space, and you won’t be able to connect with Mu Hua’s summoning space, and it will be impossible to summon the summoned beast.

But if it was Padge, Mu Hua wouldn't mind wasting a few Hundred Refinements Secret Stones to get a few big orange dogs for her to play with.

"No need to bother, I'll teach you, go to your room." Mu Hua had a sly smile on his face. He still had the skill stone for summoning the tiger.

"Does this count as a bribe? Taibesha contacted me earlier and said she wanted to order a batch of hand shields and short spears with enhanced magic barriers and paralysis effects. In view of your efforts, I can ask the workshop to give her priority in shipping them."

With a smile on her lips, Paji pursed her pink lips and looked at Mu Hua without avoiding him. The slippery tip of her tongue that licked her upper lip looked very fierce, very aggressive.

"Mu Hua! What do you mean!" Qiong interrupted with a somewhat embarrassed and annoyed voice, but because she was ignored, Qiong chased after him.

"Huh? Something? If you have something to say, go find Betha. I don't want to get involved in the Benson family's affairs." Mu Hua frowned. His interest in appreciating Paddy's 'cruelness' was disturbed, and Mu Hua was a little unhappy.

"You..." Joan seemed to want to refute, but Padgy gave her a cold look.

"Miss, you shouldn't interrupt our conversation, it's very rude." Paddy seemed unhappy that she couldn't continue to be fierce to Mu Hua. She interrupted Joan's words, and the big orange lying beside her also made a threatening hissing sound at Joan.

The big orange one is very fierce. Even if it is just a wild beast, the physical fitness of an ordinary tiger can reach about forty.

However, Mu Hua basically confirmed that the strength of the summoned beasts given to him by the summoning skills should also be affected by his own attributes.

When he first obtained the Headless Horseman's summoned beast, his personal attributes were low, and the attributes of those Terror Rider summoned beasts were also among the lowest among the Terror Riders. He originally thought that was normal.

But now, not counting the bonus gained from the summoning skill level, the big orange beast he summoned has a physique of sixty, just like the gray wolf earlier. This is almost the limit of the natural growth of wild beasts such as tigers, and it is considered a tough character among tigers.

Well, although the big orange dog in front of her was very fierce, the young woman whose interest was disturbed was even more fierce. Compared with the big orange dog, Joan was more afraid of Padget.

She knew Padge, the founder of the Mockingbird Enchanting brand and the daughter of the president of the Northern Strategy Association. If she was scolded by her, it would be difficult for Joan to retort.

"Qiong, I don't know them. Whether it's Benson's heir or Benson's economic and trade affairs, there's no need for me to talk to them, right?" Mu Hua said to Qiong to break the awkwardness.

"Then you should also say hello to me instead of ignoring me. That's polite. That's very rude." As if to hit back at Paddy, Qiong said to Mu Hua.

A strange look flashed in Padge's eyes and a dangerous smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Perhaps the way she gets along with Mu Hua easily causes outsiders to have different perceptions of her, but Webster’s daughter is not a gentle and easy-to-talk-to big sister.

"Yes, yes, be polite, be polite, okay, you should go back over there." Mu Hua waved his hands helplessly. He had no grudge against Qiong. Seeing that Padget seemed to be causing trouble, Mu Hua drove Qiong away to prevent her from being cheated by Padget.

It's not that Qiong is blind. Although she is dissatisfied, she still knows when to stop. She turned around and left angrily, but saw Mu Hua suddenly seemed to remember something and asked.

"By the way, as far as I know, Ivy should have gone to live in the new city with Caesar's family. Is that okay?"

"It's none of my business." With an unpleasant reply, Joan walked towards the original table in her high heels without looking back.

"Hey, the Bensons?" Padge sneered and asked Mu Hua, who was no longer paying attention to that side. "Yeah." Mu Hua responded, and Padge was not interested in talking about them anymore, and pointed to the video playing on the projection screen.

"The black-robed man who cast Touch of Jealousy is you, right?"

"Well, you recognize all this?"

"Hehe, your size is very familiar to me. Touch of jealousy, this ability should be hereditary." Paddy chuckled, seemed to have emotion, and muttered in a low voice.

"Can this be inherited?" Mu Hua really had no idea about this.

"There's a certain probability that it may not be the Touch of Jealousy. It could be a similar ability, or it may be possible to master the Touch of Jealousy faster." Padge also had a vague understanding.

"Similar to supernatural talent?" Mu Hua was curious.

"Well, probably. Mu, do you want to have a baby with me?" Paddy had an expression as if she was researching a subject and said something that stunned Mu Hua.

"Are you kidding?" Mu Hua was surprised. They were good friends and it was okay to be shameless and call them best friends, but for best friends to have a baby, this was no longer a question of shame or not.

"No, I'm going to have a baby sooner or later anyway, so yours is top-notch, right?" Paddy chuckled, but nodded and gave Mu Hua a serious look.

"No."

"You don't need to raise me."

"No, I don't like children."

"I don't like it either."

"You still keep me if you don't like me?"

"Just throw it to Webber. There's no way I can raise a child."

"..."

"..."

The two were silent, looking at each other, and finally, Paji and Mu Hua both shook their heads. Forget it, let's put this issue aside for now. Having children is indeed not a pleasant topic.

Human beings are very fickle animals. Various movies and TV series always portray people's love for children. Even if they are tortured to death by their children, they will eventually show the warmth of family affection.

Just because of these things, after performing it so many times, people seem to take it for granted.

But it would be fine if you said you wanted to think this way, but under the influence of a strange emotion that seems unique to humans, even worse, not liking children has inexplicably become a very abnormal thing and mentality.

Not to mention your own children, even if they are other people’s, no matter whether you really hate children or not, you should pretend to be kind in front of children, both in public and behind others.

Otherwise, it is almost inevitable that people will despise and criticize you, and you may even end up in social ruin.

Just like respecting the old and loving the young is no longer a virtue, but if you don't respect or love them, you become immoral. What kind of crazy logic is this? You may be condemned if you avoid it.

It is normal for women to make trouble, but being reasonable has become a priceless virtue. The judges in the court can educate you from the bottom of their hearts. It is your fault to reason with women. . .

For most people, illogical common sense like these may only require a best-selling movie to reverse it. As long as the plot is more emotional and accompanied by some hype and praise, people can change their cognition in minutes.

Human beings are fickle. These situations not only happened in Mu Hua's previous life. This world is also full of various rhythm-setting situations, and these situations also apply.

Especially in the society of settlers, even in various strategy videos, the brave will definitely find a few girls to open their hearts and make vows. Without having a few children, the brave's life is full of regrets, he can't eat well, can't sleep, and his life will be hopeless after defeating the devil.

Regardless of whether it is required by the plot or the trend of the "general trend", it seems to have little impact. The audience thinks it is just an entertaining performance. After watching it many times, many people really follow it. Not only do they follow it, but they also believe that everyone is the same.

Perhaps human fickleness only requires a few performances and propaganda. With strong and deliberate operations, it is not an exaggeration to say that a group consciousness can be changed in three to five years.

It’s not appropriate to go into details, but it’s obvious that Mu Hua and Paji are the types who don’t buy into that.

Having children is the most troublesome thing. Let’s wait until I have been around for a few more years before we worry about it.

Even if you don’t have children, you still have to learn how to call the tiger. Learning makes people happy.

After sending Joan away and making an appointment with Paggi for home lessons, Mu Hua took Daju back to the suite on the third floor.

As for why we don’t just go back to the room and teach hand in hand now?
Well, Mu Hua had heard that the middle-aged man named Francis contacted Ivy and seemed to want her to come to the Deman Hotel.

Back in the suite on the third floor, Mu Hua entered the fortress city using the newly acquired courtyard key, sneaked out of the courtyard using shadow stealth, and returned to the town.

Afterwards, they sneaked all the way to the new city area, met up with Wednesday, and waited for Ivy to leave the hotel where they were staying.

After all the trouble, he had all kinds of alibis, so he wanted to see if he could take the opportunity to bury Ivy.

Mu Hua said, no problem, we are professionals. (End of this chapter)
