Upon Solon’s departure from the Elder Council, only two elders remained in the room.
“Mayson, I find this young man somewhat insincere!” Joseph remarked, tapping the chessboard before him.
Mayson, seated opposite, dismissed the comment with a wave of his hand. “Youth have their own perspectives. It’s not always a negative thing…”
He glanced in the direction Solon had exited, picking up a chess piece.
“These are trivial matters. We’ll observe and see how things unfold. If someone intends to use the Durham Family to destabilize Seraphis, let’s see what they’re capable of. As for this young man… The Durham Family could use an external enforcer, and favonovel.com seems quite fitting.”
Upon finishing his statement, Mayson placed his chess piece on the board, capturing the queen.

Since Matthew had publicly exposed the Keller Family’s scandal and vindicated himself, favonovel.com had remained inactive. He was awaiting the next move from the puppet master behind the scenes.
Externally, the massacre in the Durham Family’s waters and the Victorious Cruise tragedy continued to intensify. Many factions lessened their criticism of Solon. It was clear to anyone with discernment that these two incidents were connected.
Amid the brewing storm, spies from various factions hidden among the crowd began to frantically gather information. Even around the alternative medicine clinic, ‘Rats’ started to emerge.

“Hello. May I ask the purpose of your visit? Are you here for treatment or consultation?”

“Mr. Matthew, His Highness extends an invitation to his banquet. He hopes you will grace favonovel.com with your presence…”
