"Family Head, many people have reached out and want to talk to us this month," Claire reported, her voice steady but tinged with urgency.
Felix's eyes narrowed slightly, a flicker of curiosity igniting within them. "Which ones?" he asked, his tone sharp yet composed.
Claire took a deep breath before continuing. "It's various independent merchants, the Chamber of Commerce representatives, and several Noble Families."
A sly smile crept across Felix's face as he muttered, "These people can't seem to manage on their own anymore. I'm not surprised."
He raised his head and addressed Claire with authority. "Inform Quill to come here with his father tomorrow morning. Also, let those interested parties know our table is open for discussions; they can join us then."
"Understood, Family Head," Claire replied solemnly, her expression serious.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"You may go now," Felix dismissed her with a wave of his hand.
As Claire bowed respectfully and exited the office, Felix was left alone in the dimly lit room. A moment later, he spoke again, his voice low and commanding. "Come out!"
At that command, dark mists coalesced into a figure clad in tight black attire with a hood obscuring its face. The figure knelt on one knee, head bowed in submission.
Felix cast a fleeting glance at the kneeling figure before issuing another cold order: "Tell Jarvis to come here tomorrow morning."
"Understood, Family Head," the figure responded in a hoarse whisper before vanishing into shadows.
Felix's silver eyes glinted ominously as he contemplated the impending meeting. "I hope these discussions remain civil; otherwise..."
His thoughts trailed off as an unsettling chill filled the room, the temperature in the room immediately plummeted.
If any Mana Cultivator was present at this moment, it would be clear from the powerful Mana fluctuations emanating from him that Felix is a Tier 7 Legendary Knight.

Time quickly passed by and Ina blink of an eye it was already the next day.
At the entrance of the Morningstar Industrial Base,teams of luxurious carriages pulled by magnificent Magical Beasts streamed through the grand entrance like an opulent parade.
Moments later, outside the towering office building stood an impressive assembly of individuals.
Everywhere they walked, employees paused to respectfully greet her, and she returned each acknowledgment with a friendly nod and smile.
After a brief journey through the vibrant lobby, they arrived at an exclusive elevator that only accessed the upper floors.
"Please," Claire gestured invitingly for them to enter.
With raised eyebrows and curiosity piqued, they hesitated momentarily before stepping inside.
As soon as Claire entered and pressed the button, the doors slid shut seamlessly.
The elevator shot upward swiftly, an unexpected thrill that left everyone wide-eyed in astonishment.
"What an interesting thing!" remarked the middle-aged man at the back of the group, a smile spreading across his face.
"Absolutely fascinating right!" chimed in a stunning young woman beside him with flowing white hair that shimmered like moonlight.
A few moments later, the group stepped off the elevator and onto the top floor, their anticipation palpable.
"Please follow me," Clair said with a welcoming smile, leading them down a sleek hallway to an impressive conference room.
The space was dominated by a long, polished table surrounded by plush chairs that beckoned for conversation.
"Go ahead and take your seats," Clair instructed as she gestured toward the array of comfortable chairs. "I'll let President Felix know you've all arrived."
With that, Clair exited the room, leaving behind a buzz of chatter.
Some of them exchanged curious glances as they looked around with interest in their eyes, while others wore expressions of skepticism or impatience.
It was clear that everyone had their own thoughts swirling in their minds as they awaited what was to come.
As the murmurs filled the air, as anticipation filled the room.
