Raydon stated, "I will visit the mansion when the time comes, but first I want the inheritance key as an advance payment."
The most important thing for him to do right now was to rack up experience points, and having this inheritance key would be a huge help to him in doing so.
Moreover, according to Galen, there was still time to celebrate his promotion to E-Rank.
Therefore, Raydon still had time to return to the mansion. During this time, he has the opportunity to gain even more power and rise to the E-Rank, both of which will serve him well in the eventual bargain he will strike with his family. After all, despite having a high rank behind him, the most important thing was still Raydon's own strength.
When Galen saw that Raydon had accepted, he was ecstatic and immediately responded. ''Consider it done. Before you come, that is, before I finish my task, they will not give me the inheritance key they promised me, but I can ask my father for another one. ''
In reality, he couldn't care less if Raydon came back or not. After all, he had only spent a fraction of his childhood with him, and their relationship was strained at best. Galen, like any other item holder, was only interested in himself, and the mission of persuading Raydon to come back was very important to him.
"Well, it seems as though you have some work to do, so I won't take up too much of your time. I will bring the inheritance key to you in two days, and later someone will come to get you before the celebration banquet. You don't need to come any earlier, but if you're late, my mission will be considered a failure. '' As Galen walked out of the antique shop, he gave Raydon a fist pump and said.
As Raydon watched Galen leave the store, he found himself engaged in some deep thought.
'So the celebration of his promotion to E-Rank is just a stage for me, huh? ' Raydon chuckled.
There was no mystery as to why Raydon's family wanted him back for the celebration day.
Since the day he was born, Raydon had a reputation as the family's "lost" child. It was widely known to other families on the day he was born and given the surname Demugen. After all, families were at odds with one another, and everyone knew pretty much everything that had ever happened.
Because of this, Fang was able to investigate Raydon's ancestry and learn that he was a member of the Demugen family. Even if they were to destroy every record of Raydon's past, they couldn't completely hide the fact that he was born into a family with the surname Demugen.
Raydon had not been seen in the social circle for a considerable amount of time due to the fact that his family hid him in the mansion all the time because of his mental illness and later cast him outside of the mansion. Therefore, the Demugen family needed to find a way to remind other families of Raydon's existence as the heir to the Demugen family once again.
And the best way to accomplish that was to use the upcoming celebration. During this celebration banquet, they would call their friends and other family representatives they were close to. After that, they would reintroduce Raydon to everyone as an heir to the family, thereby establishing an indirect connection with the high-ranking item holder, who serves as Raydon's imaginary mentor.
''I have no doubt that they have already begun spreading rumors about this high-rank and me.'' Raydon muttered to himself as he made his way toward the entrance to the item market while wearing an evil grin on his face.
He knew exactly what was going on in his family's minds, including their desire to show other families that they had a high rank behind them as well as their ambition to become a grand family.

''It was about time you showed up. Haha,'' The shopkeeper greeted Raydon with a genuine belly laugh as soon as he walked through the door.
''Hello, how are you today? '' Raydon replied with a smile.
''How am I? Since you never ask how I am, I can only assume that you are in an especially good mood today. Hahaha '' The man had another good laugh when he saw that Raydon was having a good day.
"I'm looking to make some trades and purchases." Raydon dismissed the man's observation and hastily started clearing out his dimensional storage.
Actually, he was more impatient than happy right now because he wanted to find a new item set. Because of this, he couldn't wait to finish his work as quickly as possible so that he could explore the stalls outside to look for new skills that were compatible with his newly revised stat build.
"Well, you quickly returned to the person I was familiar with. '' The man sighed and then began inspecting Raydon's sixth-match spoils.
Despite looting his own teammates' items, Raydon still only earned 17,000 gold coins from the match.
After that, Raydon started selling the items that he had acquired from the Granite King's inheritance. These included the body enchantment he discovered inside as well as the bodies of stone soldiers that he collected during the final stage of the inheritance.
Although Raydon believed the body enchantment to be adequate, he preferred to wait a little longer and find a blue-grade body enchantment as opposed to using another green-grade one.
In the end, it was also a very expensive process to separate a body enchantment he used from his body.
'I guess I'll have to find something else to replace the Eye of the Ash Gnome at some point," Radon reflected.
This body enchantment was actually quite useful, but now that he had the Ashen Heart, which had just been upgraded, he had no need for it anymore.
As of right now, both his HP and MP have the ash attribute, and since the +200 mana that is bestowed upon him by the ''Eye of the Ash Gnome'' is already accounted for in his own mana, it serves no other purpose for Raydon at this time.
