Chapter 163 Chapter 99 A Touch of Steel on Guitar Strings_3

"Wait a moment, Dantalion." Vurowus called out to her, which was rare.
"What is it?" The girl turned around, now having changed out of her pitch-black gown and into a white and blue dress.
"Regarding Dantalion's future schooling, I've heard from Lady Isabelle," she nodded.
"I have a sister, similar in age to Dantalion, who will also be attending Edith Academy in South First District. Perhaps you can become friends, and she may be able to help you a lot."
"Ah, that... sure." Though it was a bit unexpected, the girl still agreed.
"What's Dantalion's communication ID? I'll help you contact her first..."
"It's..." Hexia took out her personal terminal and reported her ID.
Before long, an avatar with a silver leaf pattern appeared in the contact list.
"Annelli Xielanhuasi." The name shown under the avatar should be the real one, as there was a verification symbol next to it.
This kind of verification is generally not sought after, as it costs money to maintain, but in formal business conversations, to gain trust and show reputation, many people still go for the verification.
"Phew, that's done." Vurowus sighed in relief, this seemingly simple task had apparently not been easy.
"She's also 16 this year, very smart, probably the precocious type. If you don't get along well with her, you can tell me, and I'll give her a good talking-to."
"Cough cough, no need for that." The girl signaled for Vurowus to not worry so much; usually, this maid-sister was very calm and composed, but today she seemed a bit off. Maybe it was because of her own sister?
Meanwhile, in the distant Emerald Moon Star Domain, a young woman with silver-grey curly hair was walking on a bustling commercial street. With curly hair tips and long legs, she was followed by a dozen men in black.
These men were both bodyguards and attendants, carrying the spoils of the young lady's shopping for the day.
"Hmm, so slow. It took my sister this long to get a contact, no wonder she's marginalized in the family." The corner of the personal terminal in her hand had a Circle-shaped nibble, which she whirled around her finger effortlessly, spinning the valuable personal terminal through the air in loop after loop.
Finally, the chirping notification sound came, and an avatar with the same grey hair appeared on the screen.
"Hexia Tilan..." She read the name of the girl on the screen slowly, stopping her finger from twirling the personal terminal.
After pausing for a long time, she took a deep breath and then exhaled, letting go of the tension that had been hidden deep inside her.
"Finally... I've made contact with her..." Clutching her personal terminal to her chest, she closed her eyes and reminisced.
A month earlier, she had heard this name at a family meeting, followed by a debate among the adults, which involved a lot of power struggles within the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain. There were continuous visitors and negotiations until everything was decided only in the last two days.
"You will act as Miss Tilan's first contact. You will not only represent the Xie Lanhuasi family, but also the joint support from our twelve major and giant corporations, including 'Grey Dust Crystal', for Miss Tilan..." A group of well-dressed business moguls sat in the conference room and declared this to her.
And she was to change her previous plans, heading instead to Edith Academy for her studies.
Behind every High Rank Songstress is the support of many forces, and even if they don't have it initially, as soon as their Talent and status are revealed, countless businesses are willing to become their backers, whether for brand promotion or political considerations.
Sometimes, just making your enterprise less vulnerable to harm is a huge advantage.
