Chapter 131 (2)

The first one to recognize Rockefeller was none other than Jason.

Of course, the girl who followed him was just as surprised.

'Was that boy the new Guild Leader they were talking about?'

Jason thought with an incredulous expression.

'How is that boy here?'

Back then, the boy was an enigmatic, hardworking bank clerk.

A boy who recklessly overused promissory notes.

And he later heard about the outcome.

The lord went bankrupt.

'So that's what happened.'

Although somewhat belated, Jason was able to recognize who the newly appointed Guild Leader was.ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

The bank clerk boy he had met back then had silently grown up to become the leader of the Lyon Guild.

"Arent you the boy I saw in Montefeltro territory? Do you remember me?"

When Jason spoke, Rockefeller seemed somewhat surprised as well.

He expected someone from the Sinclair family to come, but he didn't expect them to visit among so many family members.

'Is it a coincidence? Or...'

Rockefeller quickly hid his surprised expression and smiled.

"It's been a while. We met once before, right? In Montefeltro territory."

Rockefeller glanced at Isabella, who had matured significantly since their last encounter.

'She's grown up quite a bit. She was just a child back then.'

"Nice to meet you."

As Rockefeller greeted her casually, Jason, who had come with her, became stern.

"How dare you! To be so disrespectful..."

But Rockefeller, who intercepted him, was no ordinary person either.

"I am now a noble, not a commoner."

Seeing him, who had become somewhat arrogant compared to before, Jason felt many things.

'People... change. If that's his true nature, was he hiding his true colors back then?'

"..."

When she spoke, Rockefeller, who was sitting somewhat arrogantly, began to speak with a smile.

"If you're asking about the Crown War, we've already made our position clear."

Isabella decided to just listen quietly to what he had to say.

"We have no intention of helping the First Prince or the Third Prince. And this means we will not help the Sinclair family."

Daring to say that in front of a Sinclair family member?

Unable to listen any further, Jason, who grimaced, tried to step forward, but Isabella gently stopped him with a gesture.

"Isn't it going to be difficult for the Guild if you break off like that? And haven't we been close friends for a long time?"

At the mention of friends, Rockefeller gave a faint smile.

"That was all in the past. Since I took office, the Lyon Guild has..."

Rockefeller emphasized as he continued.

"Been reborn under this sky."

Reborn, he said.

The two magicians, who came to visit, looked at each other in disbelief.

They both suddenly wondered.

What was he relying on to act so arrogantly in front of the two magicians?

"Do you not know who we are?"

When Isabella asked, Rockefeller still maintained the same expression and brushed it off.

"I know. You are the two magicians from the Sinclair family."

"Yet your attitude is disrespectful."

At her words, Rockefeller did not deny it.

"Since we're not on good terms to begin with, what's the point of making a fuss about it here?"

Rockefeller continued.

"What I'm doing is indirectly letting you know our Guild's position. There's no other meaning to it, so don't misunderstand."

Unable to bear it any longer, Jason stepped forward.

"What are you relying on to act like that?"

At his words, Rockefeller still replied with a smiling face.

At that, Rockefeller still smiled and brushed it off.

"Of course, there's a lot to trust. I have someone named Lee Han behind me, and the Ismail family, who isn't present here, is also involved in one way or another. I'm sure you all don't know everything, but if something happens to me, it would be best for you all to be prepared."
