Novel Full Chapter 238 238
“You did well,” Keith spoke after he went through the files and listened to Caesar and Sebastian’s accounts of the past few months.
He had left the matters of Business in the hands of Amelia, and the other more discreet matters in the hands of Rebecca.
Everything was going well, and Rebecca had managed to dismantle the Falken Family, who were now without any heirs. The old man of the Falken Family had already decided to leave Sameran City, but the enemies were a little too determined to eat their flesh to the bones.
Demiliore, Angelini, and Grayson Families had already gobbled up nearly 50% of the Falken Family’s Business, and the vultures were only gathering in numbers, waiting for a total fallout where they would grab anything they could get their hands on.
Lin Family was no longer as powerful and wealthy as before. The death of Lin Houtian and his bastard son, and all the scandals he had been surrounded by for the past few months, hit the business hard.
Qingyue had already returned everything she was responsible for in Lin Business to her younger brother, who was trying his best to manage everything, and it was working in his favour as people in the business community had a good impression of him. It was all thanks to how the Four Big of the Sameran City, the Demiliore, the Grayson, the Angelini, and the Clarks welcomed him and engaged with him in healthy business talks.
Then again, nothing was ever for free, and everyone had named a stake which would profit them. It was just that nothing was too outrageous, and it was all to show respect for Qingyue and Keith’s relationship, which was not official yet, but everyone already considered her his wife. .
“Young Master,” Caesar spoke after he watched Keith finish signing a few documents. “Have you decided on the date of the inauguration of Noxville?”
“Not yet.” He shook his head. “There were a few minor changes in plans and the new projects won’t finish until August, this year. The inauguration could be held in September if everything finishes up in due time.” He replied and then smiled at the old man. “Why?”
“Master Raizer is planning on going out to explore a few special places in the world…” Caesar meaningfully said.
His grandfather was finally embracing his old self, where he loved travelling and exploring new places. It was a good thing, and Keith knew that it also meant that his Old Man had made up his mind to accept his proposal.
“I see. And you will be going with him?”
“Yes.” The Head-Butler of the Demiliore Family nodded his head. “I will be leaving Sebastian in charge of everything.”
His words surprised his son who was sitting right next to him and was hearing his father’s plans for the first time.
“It’s fine.” Keith nodded his head. “You will let me know before you leave on your vacation. And tell Grandfather that I will be arranging for a few people to stay in the shadows.”
“I will, Young Master.” The old man smiled and then stood up, bowed to him and excused himself from the study.
“Sebastian.”
“Yes, Young Master?”
“You will leave for Mystich City tomorrow.”
“The capital of the Oldwyn Province?” The young man curiously asked.
“Yes. I will send you the details in a message. You have to buy me a mansion, and you will also arrange for the Black Forest Group to take over the Golden Galaxy Casino Chain.”
“It will be done, Young Master.” Sebastian did not ask any questions even if he was curious and simply nodded his head.
“Go, get some rest.”
“Yes.” His right-hand man stood up and bowed to him before taking his leave. And Keith, who was left alone in the study, leaned back in his chair as he went through every detail of the Plan of Destiny he read about Mathew Frost, the Child of Destiny whom he was going to deal with a couple of months later.
Mathew Frost was a son of a famous Baker in the Mystich City of the Oldwyn Province, and his mother was a daughter of a very rich Family in the city who escaped her home to marry the man she loved.
Now, his maternal family did not have anyone to inherit the family wealth, and Mathew was going to be soon contacted by his maternal grandfather.
Keith was looking forward to meeting Mathew as dealing with this Child of Destiny was going to be very fun.
Two months later, he was going to awaken a System, a very interesting System by the name of the Flower Cultivation System.
The System was going to help Mathew Collect the best beauties of the Mystich City by providing him with various talents to woo them. And with every successful Mission, Mathew was going to receive handsome rewards.
Even though the System had not given him the quest yet, Keith knew that there was unlikely to be a time limit on dealing with this Child of Destiny.
According to the Plan of Destiny, it was going to take well over two years for Mathew to finally become strong enough to leave this world. And he was going to be under an Invincible Halo for a while after the awakening of the System, so Keith was going to enjoy himself a lot before finally getting rid of the pretty boy whose happiness was only going to be short-lived.
His attention turned to the door that was knocked, and he inadvertently looked at the clock.
There was still time before midnight.
“Come in.”
“Young Master.” It was Viola who entered the room and bowed to him. “A letter has arrived for you.”
“Thank you.” He smiled as he accepted the letter from her hand. “It is going to be a long day tomorrow. Get some rest.”
“I will.” She smiled at him. “The ladies are waiting for you.”
“Ladies?” He curiously smiled.
“Your wives plan on sleeping in your room tonight.” She could not help her giggle as she said that.
“I see.” He helplessly shook his head and then opened the letter, read the first line, and raised his head to look at the maid who was waiting for his answer. “I will join them in fifteen minutes.”
“Yes, Young Master.” Viola bowed to him again before leaving the study, and Keith returned his attention to the letter.
It was a letter from a certain Messenger, and it contained information about someone’s recent activities.
Nergal was growing impatient, and recently he had faced off against Hades at an event. Nothing serious happened, but the Underworld was in chaos. The winds of war had started blowing now, and they were going to catch momentum in the coming months.
“A stepping stone is a stepping stone.” He whispered before he erased the existence of the letter by summoning the black flame in his hand.
“System.”
[Yes, Host?]
“If I kill the Inheritor of Nergal, can I get my hands on his legacy?”
[Yes, Host. If you wish for it, you can use System Points to capture the God Stone after you kill Nergal.]
“How much would it cost?”
[50000 System Points.]
“Just 500 Fate Value?”
[He is not a True Inheritor of Nergal, Host. Had he been, you would have had to spend over a Million System Points to capture the God Stone he was born with.]
“How many God Stones are there in Nergal’s legacy?”
[The System requires permission to use 50 Fate Value to reveal the basic information of Nergal’s legacy.]
“Granted.”
[There are a total of Four God Stones in Nergal’s Legacy. Two of them are with an Inheritor in the Heaven Realm. One is here, and the last one can only be found by a True Inheritor or if all three of the other God Stones are possessed by a single Inheritor.]
“I see. Is there anyone around me who has an affinity for Nergal’s Legacy?”
Keith knew that the legacy of Nergal was of no use to him. And the legacy of a God could only be utilised to its full potential if one was a True Inheritor. However, even if someone becomes a normal Inheritor of a Powerful God’s legacy, they would progress far in their path of Cultivation.
These legacies were very valuable treasures, and they were not something just anybody could possess. Only someone with an affinity for a God’s legacy could pass the tests.
[No, Host. You and your wife Rebecca have a very high affinity for Nergal’s Legacy, but it is of no use to the two of you. Both of you are already True Inheritors of more Powerful Legacies. Other than the two of you, your Mother has a decent affinity for it as well. She can use it, but it is not suited for her.]
“Could I use it in any other way?”
[You can, Host. But for that, the System needs to be levelled up. However, it will still be of little to no use to you. If you want to retrieve the God Stone after killing the Inheritor of Nergal, the System recommends keeping it until you have someone in your ranks that has a perfect affinity for it.]
“Anything more that I should know?”
[With the help of the System, you can mark the God Stone and let nature take its course. If one day, a True Inheritor of Nergal is born, the System can help you find that person and you can recruit them in your ranks.]
“Would it be before or after they awaken their powers?”
[The moment they are born, Host.]
“Interesting…” Keith smiled at this piece of information.
Though it was of no use to him in the short run, it could prove quite useful in the long run.
Putting his thoughts aside, Keith left the study to head to his room. He had kept his wives waiting long enough.
“Hey.” He called out to them as soon as he entered the room, and all four of them raised their heads from the big book that was placed in Rebecca’s lap.
He recognised the book as it was the storybook he had gifted to Minami, which she had finished recently and was now keeping another book that he had gifted her a couple of days ago.
It seemed like the girls had borrowed it from her, and Rebecca was reading out a story to the three of them from it.
“Have you read the Tale of Mysaria Black?” His blonde wife asked.
“No.” And he shook his head, failing to recall the name.
“Join us then!” Kiara happily said, and Keith smiled at her before nodding his head.
He quickly entered the dressing room to get changed and then entered the big round bed before pulling Kiara onto his lap and sitting between Rebecca and Amelia.
The girls told him about the story they had learned so far before continuing from where they left off.
It was an epic tale of an unwanted child who founded one of the most powerful Sects in the Heavens. It was quite an interesting story, and Keith had to stay up until dawn before it ended and all five of them hugged each other to sleep.
