Max Level is 100? I Can Upgrade All skill s to Lv99999!-Chapter 121 --Caelan, the Legion’s Heir!

In a daze, Caelan followed behind Caesar and entered a private office.

Behind him, those relatives were staring at his back with eyes full of envy.

In truth, all of the relatives present understood one thing very clearly.

That was: this time, Caesar—the true helmsman of the Grey family—had genuinely acknowledged Caelan as a possible heir.

In fact, the test just now had not simply been about measuring Caelan’s strength. It had also been about seeing whether he had the potential to be cultivated as a successor to the Grey family.

And now, everything pointed to one conclusion: Old Master Caesar was extremely satisfied with Caelan as an heir candidate.

Of course, this did not mean the position of Grey family heir had been fully decided.

It only meant that Caelan had become a candidate and would be able to receive more resources.

But even so, that alone was enough to make everyone envious—including the high-ranking figures present.

"That kid Caelan really is lucky. The old master has taken a liking to him, so he’ll probably get quite a lot of good stuff."

Jelena narrowed her eyes, the corners of her lips curling into a faint smile.

On the other side, Johnson nodded heavily and said in a serious tone,

"I think Caelan’s strength and potential are worth any price Old Master Caesar is willing to pay."

Meanwhile, inside Caesar’s office,

the room was nothing like Caelan had imagined. It was not luxurious at all. In fact, it did not even have the huge floor-to-ceiling windows one might normally expect.

There was only a perfectly ordinary window, along with oak desks, chairs, and stools.

Seeing Caelan standing there somewhat absent-mindedly, Caesar instead revealed a warm smile.

"What is it? Does my office feel a little unusual to you?"

Caelan came back to his senses, then slowly nodded.

"It does. I didn’t expect your office to be designed so simply."

Caesar smiled faintly, his gaze passing through the window toward the distant sky. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

At that moment, a bald eagle was soaring through the air, searching for its prey.

"You see, what use is there in making things too complicated? Only by keeping things simple can we see our goals more clearly, isn’t that right?"

Caelan nodded. It had to be said—his bargain-bin grandfather was actually quite a philosophical old man.

At that moment, Caesar slowly opened his drawer and took out a brand-new medal.

"Little Caelan, from this day forward, you will temporarily serve as an Honorary Vice Commander of our Ironclad Legion. Although the title of Honorary Vice Commander does not carry much actual authority, for someone like you, that simply means you won’t have to shoulder too many responsibilities and will enjoy greater freedom instead."

"But there’s one thing I must make clear to you: the treatment of an Honorary Vice Commander are exactly the same as those of a regular Vice Commander. Given how smart you are, you should understand what that implies."

Caelan froze for a moment, then excitement flashed through his eyes.

It had to be said—his grandfather was astonishingly generous!

He had casually made him an Honorary Vice Commander of the Ironclad Legion.

One had to remember that the Ironclad Legion was one of the top great legions in all of humanity, so there was no need to even mention how exceptional the treatment here must be.

To put it simply, Caelan’s treatment now already surpassed 99.9% of all humans!

And let’s not forget—he had only awakened his class a few days ago!

What Caelan could not understand, however, was why his grandfather had made such a decision on the very day they had just met.

Talia had been standing beside Caelan the entire time.

The moment she saw the medal of Honorary Vice Commander, surprise also flashed through her eyes!

Old Master Caesar, who had always been known for being stingy, had actually chosen to be unusually generous today!

However... this move of his was actually a very clever choice.

In an instant, Talia understood the reason behind it all.

Testing Caelan’s strength had never really been the most important part.

The reason Old Master Caesar had done all this was most likely because he wanted to use Caelan’s strength to silence the dissenters.

After all, even though Old Master Caesar held supreme authority within the Ironclad Legion, it was not a place where he alone could decide everything. He still had to take the attitudes of the other higher-ups into account.

But the strength Caelan had displayed just now had also demonstrated the enormous value he possessed.

So after seeing that, the other higher-ups naturally would not have much to say.

Even if they learned that Caesar had made Caelan an Honorary Vice Commander of the Ironclad Legion, they would simply regard it as a means of drawing him in.

At the very least, among the high-ranking figures who had attended today’s meeting, not a single one would object to it.

Sure enough, old ginger was still the spiciest!

Just as Caelan accepted the medal and momentarily had no idea what he was supposed to do next,

Caesar suddenly took another card out from his drawer.

The entire card was forged from black metal. Although it reflected a metallic sheen, it was impossible to tell whether it was made from some special material or crafted through some unique process.

The weight of the metal card was almost negligible!

At that moment, Caesar’s warm voice sounded by Caelan’s ear.

"This is an internal benefits card of our Ironclad Legion. Keep it."

With a confused expression, Caelan put away the so-called internal benefits card, because at this point he had no idea what it actually represented.

It was only when Talia lightly tugged at his sleeve and whispered in a low voice,

"Don’t just stand there. Hurry up and thank your grandfather! There are at least 10 billion gold coins on that card!"

10 billion gold coins!?

Caelan froze, and then disbelief flashed across his eyes.

The Ironclad Legion was indeed a colossal force, and it was certainly wealthy.

But the Legion’s money did not belong to Caesar alone—it belonged to the Grey family and the Merlin family as a whole.

That meant Caesar could not possibly just mobilize the entire Ironclad Legion’s funds and hand them over to Caelan.

So these 10 billion gold coins were completely Caesar’s own gift, a grandfather’s care for his grandson, and had absolutely nothing to do with the Ironclad Legion itself.

Caelan opened his mouth, just about to thank him,

but right at that moment, Caesar took out yet another object from his pocket—a simple, ancient-looking pocket watch.

"Little Caelan, I think you may need a proper pocket watch, something like the one I’m using now."

"Take a look. Do you like it? And don’t be too quick to refuse, because this is a gift from me—both as your grandfather and as the helmsman of the Grey family."

"Don’t forget, you are also a member of our Grey family!"
