"Don't look at me like that, Olga Marie."

In the reception room, Olga Marie looked on the verge of tears, her eyes brimming with sympathy as she gazed at Bai Mo. He flipped through a pile of documents in his hands, feeling a terrible headache coming on.

It turns out there's a cause-and-effect relationship involved. Bai Mo never imagined that Circe's unintentional act would cause such a huge disturbance.

Looking at the group of Chaldea employees around him, and Arcueid sticking to his side, Bai Mo couldn't help but wonder if he would be forever trapped in endless affairs, unable to find a way out.

"Brother Bai, I didn't know you were hiding this so well! Now that things have come to this, just give the order and we'll support you as the new Chaldea!"

Ritsuka looked like she was enjoying the drama, and Olga Marie's angry, tearful expression intensified at these words.

"Alright, stop bullying your director."

Upon hearing this, Olga Marie's expression instantly brightened. Bai Mo, not intending to accept the Chaldea offer, inwardly condemned Marisbury's abstract and unreliable behavior, and thus brought this dispute over the directorship to a close.

"According to the law, although Marisbury committed theft, I will only recover the portion of the shares that belong to Chaldea. You will still be the director of Chaldeas. You can keep all the Magecraft instruments and Magecraft patents such as Spiritron Transfer."

Of course, the matter with Marisbury is your family affair, and I will provide you with sufficient evidence.

As for Mr. Goredolf, your investment can be converted into shares. Although it's not a large amount, it's at least enough to form the foundation of the family. You can use this as a springboard to revitalize the family. Of course, all of this is predicated on Chaldea operating well.

With Bai Mo's decision finalized, this matter can be considered closed. The Magecraft instruments and Magecraft patents are Chaldea's most valuable assets, but Olga Marie can't protect them on her own now. In any case, her family has already been ruined by that biological father, which is the best outcome for her personally.

Goredolf accepted the agreement, since Chaldea was in dire need of manpower. If this problem could be resolved, his share, though small, could potentially take off.

Moreover, this means that he still has a place in Chaldea, and Olga Marie's presence actually helps to share the burden of responsibility and pressure for him.

So, are your salary and bonuses settled?

"Go ask Olga Marie, she's in charge... but she doesn't have any? Never mind, I'll give them to you."

Finally, the debate over who was the Lord of Chaldea, which had lasted for nearly fifty days, came to an end. Only then could Chaldea truly settle down.

After it was all over, Arcueid remarked with some emotion:

"So there was this connection. You should have said so earlier, then I would have helped from the beginning. But thanks to you, Bai Mo, I had an unexpected gain."

"Hmm? What did you find?"

Bai Mo turned his head and asked, and then Olga Marie hurriedly grabbed Arcueid, giving him a look that said, "Dad, stop talking."

The person who just sold those paintings has become my major shareholder. Now this secret is truly something I must take to my grave. Olga Marie's mind was racing to change the subject.

"Speaking of which, as a shareholder, what suggestions do you have for the future operation of Chaldea? We're still within your space, after all."

Upon hearing this, Arcueid poked her head out with great interest. Now that Bai Mo was considered the boss, she naturally felt much closer to the place, and with someone like Da Vinci around, she was sure this place would be very interesting in the future.

"Could we set up an art studio? I'd like to try oil painting."

When did you develop this interest?

"Just now, and I've always been quite knowledgeable about art and such. Bai Mo, you know that."

"Watching a few movies doesn't make you a true expert... Oh well, it's not a bad thing anyway, do whatever makes you happy, just don't cause trouble for others."

"Yay!"

Seeing Arcueid's beaming face, Bai Mo was pleased that the girl had found some other hobbies. Of course, these had to go through the proper procedures; they were simply her personal interests.

As for the future work of Chaldea, it's not my place to get involved, as someone who knows absolutely nothing about it.

"We might really need your help here, everyone. Things are probably going to be very busy in the future."

Just then, a familiar voice rang out, and the temperature in the room instantly plummeted to freezing. Many employees, including Goredolf, voluntarily went outside.

Seeing Shiki suddenly appear and sit on the other side of Bai Mo, Goredolf knew very well that this was not a situation for an outsider like him to interfere in. This is where Olga Marie's role comes into play.

"The task of negotiating with these great terrors is now entrusted to you!" Goredolf even gestured for the others to leave with a hint of relief.

"Get out of here, are you crazy?"

Upon seeing Shiki's sudden appearance, Arcueid silently withdrew her hand from Bai Mo's, crossed her arms, and lightly tapped her arm with her fingertips, instantly reverting to her previous icy demeanor.

"Isn't that considered illegal intrusion? Suddenly barging into a banquet and ruining everyone's mood? That's really inhuman. But ultimately, it's just that you can't understand that kind of thing through the Vortex of the Root."

"What a strange description. A vampire running into a crowd would be even more ominous, and what about illegal intrusion... Have you forgotten where you are? This space belongs to me, and you are all born from me."

If anyone needs to be kicked out, it should be me who does it.

He revealed a gentle smile, but to Arcueid, that smile was glaringly offensive.

An invisible force collided at that moment, and the two behemoths seemed about to follow their instincts and engage in a fierce battle. Olga Marie felt cold sweat soaking her clothes.

I really want to run away...

"Alright, you two, stop acting like enemies the moment you meet. Shi, what did you mean by that just now?"

Bai Mo pressed down on the heads of the two ferocious beasts, forcibly suppressing their murderous aura. She tossed her long hair and turned to Olga Marie, saying:

"Although the space here isn't small, its capacity isn't unlimited. According to your plan, Bai Mo, there might be other Lostbelt in the future."

This time, a portion was taken from other powerful entities, more or less, just enough to contain such a large Russia. But it's nearing its limit, so it's necessary to recover the fragments used to construct space.

There are certainly more than just Ashiya Dōman obtained these fragments throughout the universe. While they might be of little use to them, they are very important here. However, we cannot freely enter and exit from here, so we need the help of everyone from Chaldea."
