Volume 6 Chapter 23 Akali was caught!

How to obtain a balance between work and home was something that even the sociologists on earth found hard to solve, so of course it was impossible for Still to easily find an answer.

But for Evita and Akali who didn’t even have their own small families, this wasn’t a problem at all.

Then again those two were focused on their research all day, so how could they have time to consider this?

The Frestech Chamber of Commerce had already made a breakthrough in development in the Marlow Empire, so they attached great importance to the work that had to be done on Marquis Southgate’s territory.

As the magic research facility that was the core of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s technology, they had to provide support in this.

For example, Xu Yi had indicated to Evita that they needed to set up a technical center on Marquis Southgate’s territory. With the Frestech Chamber of Commerce setting up several factories there, the factories would need technical support.

Evita would be responsible for distributing the staff during this time and making adjustments, so she was incredibly busy.

Akali’s team that focused on resonance technology, in order to build the magic signal towers and set up the magic communication network, were even busier than Evita.

Last time Evita saw Akali was a month ago when she freed up some time with the help of her subordinates. At that time, Akali’s skin was clearly much darker, having been tanned from working outside all the time.

But Akali’s spirit was quite good. Not only was she as spirited as usual, her eyes glowed even more. It was clear that she was invested in her work and was having plenty of fun.

Evita and Akali had been friends for so long and this was her first time seeing something she was so invested in, so naturally she felt happy for her.

She and Akali had been born in normal families of the Lampuri Kingdom, so even if people envied them because of their talents for magic, after they stepped on the path of becoming magicians, they realized that just having talent was far from being enough. They still needed the more important money to support them.

The two came from normal families, they didn’t have the finances to support their expensive magic research. Being able to let them attend the Lampuri Royal Academy had already taken quite a bit of effort.

The two of them thought that becoming at most a Fifth Grade Magician would already be good enough, that way they could live normal lives as magicians.

But they never thought that since meeting Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, their lives would change this much.

Now not only did the two of them have enough money, they were working jobs that they enjoyed.

Especially Akali focusing on resonance technology. She even rejected Xu Yi’s invitation to have her become the chief of the Lampuri Kingdom’s magic research facility, which showed just how much she loved her work.

Regarding her friend’s choice, Evita of course supported it and she approved of the beautiful scene that Xu Yi had described with the magic communication technology. She felt that Aakli choosing to focus on this project was the best decision in her life.

So when the news that Akali had been captured suddenly came, Evita was stunned for five minutes before reacting. The first thing she did was find Xu Yi.

“Sir chairman, how is Akali right now?”

Xu Yi took a deep breath and patted Evita’s shoulder before saying, “Relax, there should be no problem right now.”

“But why would she be captured?” Evita’s anxious voice had a trace of wanting to cry, “She’s already a Seventh Grade Magician, how could she be caught that easily? The people who caught her must be powerful, right? Could it be that she’s in danger?”

Xu Yi gave a snort as he said with a face as calm as water, “Just a small clown, what powerful?” After pausing, he took a deep breath before looking at Evita and slowing his voice to say, “Evita, you don’t need to worry, Akali won’t be in danger. I will save her as soon as possible, you……”

“No, I’m also going!” Evita suddenly cut Xu Yi off.

Xu Yi’s expression froze as he knitted his brows to look at Evita. But with how she looked at him with an extremely determined look, there wasn’t any chance of her backing down.

Xu Yi had known Evita all these years and knew that although she looked very gentle, she was a girl who was actually firm on the inside.

After all these years, this was his first time seeing her look this determined, so naturally he knew she already made up her mind.

After hesitating, Xu Yi gave a slight nod, “Alright, you’ll personally lead the team. Bring out all the Magic Airships, we’ll set off immediately.”

An hour later, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guard leader Hart personally picked out two hundred human guards, one hundred elf guards, one hundred dwarf guards, and one hundred beastmen guards, for a total of five hundred guards who set off on the Magic Airship.
