"Then I have to go back first. My time is up as well. Take care of yourself, Father. Please let me know if you get out safely," Melinda said, her voice tinged with worry.
After saying this, she didn't know if she would ever see her father again. It was entirely possible that this was their last meeting.
"Yes, my daughter. Don't worry, I will leave safely. Focus on your duties, and make sure the Red Obsidian Trading House remains under your control. Only then can Zarak continue the battle for the throne," Belfor replied, his tone grave.
"I understand, Father. Leave it to me," Melinda answered firmly.
Belfor then gave her additional instructions. The Red Obsidian Trading House would most likely be claimed by the Imperial Palace, so Melinda should not act hastily.
At the very least, she needed to wait for the court's decision. Only once everything was settled could she approach Claire to secure ninety percent ownership of the Red Obsidian Trading House.
