The three sat down when the servants brought over some tea.
“First off, I’ll have to congratulate you both,” said Harvey York before sipping his tea, smiling faintly.
Watson Braff and Soren Braff frowned.
“What do you mean by that?
“What’s there to congratulate about?”
“Eliel has a purple aura moving around his forehead. Along with his treasure room filled with the same aura…
“If my guess is correct, he’s probably about to head to Wolsing to become one of The Nine Elders!
“If this succeeds, the Braff family’s status will be on par with the top ten families.
“The Jean family might also be forced out of their position.
“Shouldn’t we be celebrating that?”
Watson and Soren froze.
“Are you serious?!” screamed Watson with a crackly voice.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHarvey nodded.
“I’m at least ninety percent sure.
“This is probably why Eliel’s worked up about it, too.
“Since ancient times, there has never been a moment where someone’s rise to power is smooth sailing.

“But if you’re willing to gamble in Wolsing, I can probably help you convince him.”
Watson took a deep breath before glancing at Soren with a bitter smile.
“To be honest, all of us working for the government only want to go higher.
“We will naturally support Father’s rise if possible.
“That said, it might not be good for him to go in such a state.”
Soren lightly nodded. Both of them hoped for the same thing for their father.
Harvey smiled.
“I got it. I’ll help your father with this.

“You’re basically reborn at such an old age. How are you still not happy?”
Eliel froze before heaving a sigh.
“You don’t know my frustrations, Master York.”
Harvey crossed his arms with a faint smile.
“Of course I do.
“Wolsing is a dangerous place.
“Every step of the way will be paved in blood if you pursue success there.
“Speaking of, have you thought about something?
