Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 633 - 215: An Encounter with the Plotter of the Nation, Aister’s Skirt, Prelude to the Night Banquet at Lion Heart Castle_2
What? You say that no nation would behave so shamelessly?
Tsk… Before the Human Federation was established, there were nations that violated the spirit of sportsmanship, nations that lacked culture and yet forged the culture of other countries to register with institutions, and nations whose maps needed to be drawn with a wide-angle lens.
As long as there are sufficient benefits, all the major nations will transform into voracious beasts, scrambling for resources because if you don't, someone else will.
Kael was very clear about this, so he didn't plan on looking for trouble.
After all, if it really came down to it, the need to use "Version2" for strategic deterrence would make the whole affair pointless.
With the treasure now in hand, it should be used on those who it was intended for.
Like trying to kill a few more Chosen Ones?
Thinking of this, Kael stretched lazily and mentioned, "By the way, what's happening over at the Royal Capital? That 'Plotter' seems to be quite silent now."
Recalling that he had never even met face to face with Marquis Gransham whom he had remotely crossed swords with before, a mischievous expression appeared on his face.
He was actually quite looking forward to Marquis Gransham's next move.
At most, it would be a showdown, but was Marquis Gransham now truly capable of hurting him?
Kael had his serious doubts about this.
After all, his current situation was completely different from that of the Charles family in his past life.
The Charles family, while also possessing a significant heritage, did not have its main influence in military strength, not even Earl Campbell, whose job level should be higher than Earl Rezhe's.
In other words, if it really came down to a fight, the Charles family, being a bit more generous, was just an Extraordinary Rank force with heritage and heirlooms, all specialties being in the business domain.
The genius of the Charles family, his father Anthony, had long left home and had even passed away.
Grandpa White was by his side, and you could say that the Charles family really didn't have any high-end combat power left, with the most powerful being Earl Rezhe of Extraordinary Peak.
The Gransham family, even though it had shifted to the civil service, was originally martial, and not like the Lion Heart Duke who divided his family endowment widely, so their resources were superior to those of Rezhe's.
If they really wanted to launch a sneak attack… no, even a full assault, Earl Rezhe couldn't withstand it.

But Kael was different.
Kael's eyes deepened.
After his promotion to the Holy Land, because of his excessively high intelligence attribute, it was like opening the gates of heaven; he obtained tremendous combat power as soon as he entered.
Not to mention his combat experience, which could even be applied at the Legendary level.
And let's add on his guardians, subordinates, and others nearby.
Do you think he is the same person who had to act with caution when facing the Charles family back then?
Gentlemen, the roles of offense and defense have changed!
He is not like the Charles family; he wants money, he wants power!
If Marquis Gransham really wants to cross swords with him, Kael would not be afraid. However, once he makes a move, he must be prepared…
He is not someone who won't fight back after being attacked.
Kael's continuous stunts, keeping several moves ahead, were aimed at being able to directly flip the table and point at an enemy's head when faced with real trouble, right?
Why then back down just when it was time to show off his power?
Remembering some things, Kael's lips curled into a smile.
"Speaking of which, the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce has already reached a bottleneck in its development, it's time to make some preparations and further extend the foundation of the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce."
If it were in the past, limited by human resource costs and the cost of developing niche areas, making a breakthrough in the core domain of Magic Potions, beyond that was nearly impossible.
The business warfare in reality is far dirtier than the spy dispatching business battles in novels; without having sufficient power and deterrence, merely possessing treasures could accidentally lead to a farce like "thieves entering at night, committing suicide with twenty-eight stabs, and the next day having a fire dragon burn down the storage."
The further back the timeline is pushed, the more barbaric the eras grew to be.
However…
Calculating the time, a year has passed, and the annual nocturnal banquet of the Lionheart family is about to begin.
During the last banquet, due to Kael's sudden arrival, the entire plan at Lion Heart Castle was disrupted.
This banquet, to the heirs of the Lion Heart Duke, is an extremely private affair.
After all, for the most part, including Kael, the next candidates for Lion Heart Duke, without any emergency, would not meet with the Lion Heart Duke.
It's not that the Lion Heart Duke doesn't allow them to come, the main reason is still threefold.
The Lion Heart Duke is too powerful; simply standing before him, for most of the Duke candidates, would feel suffocatingly oppressive.
No one likes the feeling of being completely dominated from beginning to end, so the easiest and best method is to avoid meeting.
After all, if they did meet and the Lion Heart Duke despised them for being too weak, wouldn't that be a bit damaging to their pride?
Moreover, if the Lion Heart Duke misunderstood and thought that, as Duke candidates, they could afford to idle around him every day, doesn't it imply that their responsibilities as candidates are unsaturated?
Of course, the last and most fatal point being, if they were to meet the Lion Heart Duke, at the very least, wouldn't they have to report recent work performance?
