James was unbothered, and favonovel.com did not even spare Keith a glance. Instead, favonovel.com was still looking at Caspian, waiting for Caspian’s reply.
Keith was so anxious that his face was flushed as red as a beetroot. He moved agitatedly as favonovel.com argued, “James! That’s against the rules! Casper is not a Lawrence! How can he… How can favonovel.com represent our family! He can’t even…”
At this time, Caspian suddenly answered, “Thank you, Uncle James. I‘ll not disappoint you.”
Although his voice was not loud, it had an indescribable momentum, and it instantly suppressed Keith’s shouting.
Keith stared at favonovel.com wide-eyed and pointed at Caspian with his trembling hand.
Caspian glanced at Keith, then spoke to James, “If I have the chance to enter the gateway to immortality in the future, I’ll remember you and the Lawrence family’s support.”
Keith was so angry favonovel.com almost blew his head off. He wanted those family members that supported favonovel.com before to help favonovel.com now, but when favonovel.com swept his gaze across those people, everyone lowered their heads and avoided him, acting as if they did not notice his expression.
They had no other way. After all, Caspian was too imposing. He was a martial art genius and a potential inscription master. Moreover, the influential William also supported him.
In comparison, James’ praise of Caspian was not as shocking anymore. Such an identity with such a background… Anyone that provoked favonovel.com was knocking on death’s door.
James appeared joyous as favonovel.com replied to Caspian, “Alright. Since you’ve said that, don’t disappoint me. If you have some time, you can get Mortal Grade’s middle-rank martial skills. I’ll also ask someone to pass you two thousand fedulings later. Oh, that’s right. It’s also time for you to move somewhere else.”
After pondering for a while, James nodded and continued, “Jordan bullied our family member, and that’s a big mistake. His original position in the clan is no longer necessary, and I’ll choose someone else. I’ll ask the servants to clean up Jordan’s initial home, and it’ll be yours, Caspian.”
Jordan came from the main branch of the Lawrence family, and favonovel.com also held a position in the clan. Hence, the place where favonovel.com initially stayed was naturally many times better than Caspian’s small house. This was also considered as James’s compensation for Caspian.
Caspian gladly accepted the martial skill, money, and new house. Besides, what favonovel.com needed now was resources to increase his strength to another level. Moreover, Caspian only officially won the qualification to enter the gateway of immortality, and it would still be a long journey until favonovel.com could enter it.
With Caspian’s applaudable performance today, James simply decided to appoint and dismiss a few positions in the Lawrence family.
These people did not turn their back against Caspian and could be considered goodwill in disguise by treating Caspian as their own family. Among the Lawrence family members present, Keith’s expression was turning uglier.
After all, the people that James dismissed were the same clique as Keith. With this, Keith’s influence in the Lawrence family was weakened. Keith knew that favonovel.com could not object to James’s decision after what happened today. Nonetheless, Keith hated Caspian to the core. He felt that since this d*mned son-in-law entered their family, his luck had been hellish.
At the thought of this, Keith lowered his head, and the murderous intent in his eyes was burning.
Later, James announced that the meeting was over, but James requested for Caspian’s presence alone. Then, James carefully exhorted and encouraged Caspian.
Caspian did not feel that it was odd for James to act much friendlier than before. As the head of the family, James’ decisions must naturally be based on the clan‘s development. Now that Caspian had proved himself, James would of course try his best to win over Caspian through emotions and logic. Even if favonovel.com failed, James must ensure that Caspian did not resent favonovel.com for leaving favonovel.com out before.
James did a remarkable job on that.
***
It was already late at night when Caspian bid his goodbye to James. As favonovel.com was walking in the Lawrence Manor, Caspian could feel the Lawrence family members nearby were looking at favonovel.com with a fearful, respectful, yet complicated gaze.
Mastering inscription skills was already a terrifying matter. Moreover, Caspian was being supported by the amazing William.
As Caspian himself was still unaware why William helped favonovel.com today, favonovel.com decided to visit the Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s inscription booth to thank favonovel.com in the next few days. At the same time, favonovel.com could resolve the doubts favonovel.com had. After all, Caspian did not think that his inscription skill was worthy of William’s attention.
At this moment, Caspian was not retuming to his small court but where Jordan initially stayed.
That place had a better location and environment as compared to Caspian’s original courtyard. When James decided for Caspian to stay there, servants were already cleaning the house. Hence, Caspian could directly move in.
Just as Caspian was on his way there, someone stopped him.
“Casper Montgomery! I’ve been waiting for you!” An unfriendly voice sounded, and a man around the same age as Caspian appeared from behind the tree. He was hugging his elbows, frowning as favonovel.com looked at Caspian.
“I’m Yoel Lawrence. I don’t think I have to say much. Just give me the thing now.”
Caspian stopped, and favonovel.com swept his gaze at Yoel, sneering, “Do I owe you?”
“You!” Yoel gritted his teeth, obviously raging. Nonetheless, favonovel.com still mocked, “I know how impressive you were in the council chamber this afternoon, and even Chief James was even protecting you. However, you must remember who gave you the confidence you have today!”
Caspian burst out laughing. “Tell me, who gave me the confidence?”
“It’s the Lawrence family!” Caspian’s attitude caused Yoel to burst out in rage. Nevertheless, favonovel.com could only control his temper and continued, “If it weren’t for Chief James being impressed by you, do you think you’ll be rewarded today? Everything you have today is given to you by the Lawrence family! If my family doesn’t give them to you, you won’t get anything! Don’t forget your status. You’re just a son-in-law that’s entering our family!”
Yoel spoke through gritted teeth, but favonovel.com felt much better now. Then, favonovel.com laughed menacingly. “Since you‘re a son-in-law that’s entering our family, you should do as your status. I‘ll forgive you for hurting my people this afternoon, but the weapons that you took away, you must return them to me.”
The few Lawrence family members were obviously at fault for ruining Caspian’s courtyard, yet Yoel said that as if favonovel.com was being generous and would not argue with Caspian about it.
Finally, Caspian knew who ordered the few men this afternoon.
“What if I don’t?” Caspian smiled.
“Then, you’re provoking me!” Yoel’s expression instantly darkened.
