"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 rchants, the Chamber of Comrce 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 co 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.
"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 mont later, he spoke again, his voice low and commanding. "Co 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 co 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 eting. "I hope these discussions remain civil; otherwise…"
His thoughts trailed off as an unsettling chill filled the room, the temperature in the room imdiately plumted.
If any Mana Cultivator was present at this mont, it would be clear from the powerful Mana fluctuations emanating from him that Felix is a Tier 7 Legendary Knight.

Ti 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 stread through the grand entrance like an opulent parade.
Monts later, outside the towering office building stood an impressive assembly of individuals.
None of them are ordinary people so of them are Presidents from top Chambers of Comrce across the Kingdom alongside influential rchants and representatives from powerful Noble Families.

"Welco everyone! Please follow ; President Felix is waiting for you on the top floor," Claire announced cheerfully as she stepped forward with a warm smile.

However, her greeting was t with scrutinizing gazes from those assembled, each individual assessing her from head to toe.
Displeasure flickered across the faces of several distinguished guests as they surveyed their surroundings.
These were not just ordinary individuals; they were influential figures, accustod to being greeted with reverence wherever they went.
Yet, here they stood, faced with a re mortal, a seemingly insignificant person sent to welco them. To them, this felt like a blatant disregard for their status.
"What is the aning of this? Why would the President of Origin Technology send soone like you to greet us? Doesn't he understand how to show respect?" A thin man dressed in a luxurious red attire stepped forward, his cold gaze laced with disdain.
Unfazed by the hostility, Claire t their scrutinizing stares with calm confidence. "I apologize on behalf of my President," she replied smoothly. "He is currently occupied with welcoming the Head of the Maywraith Noble Family and unfortunately cannot greet you in person at this ti. I hope you don't mind my presence instead."
The group exchanged glances, their expressions shifting slightly as they processed her words.
"Don't worry about it; just take us to see your boss," said a middle-aged man, his tone surprisingly gentle despite the earlier tension.
"Of course! Please follow ," Claire responded warmly as she turned on her heel, leading them through the building's impressive lobby.
As they entered, their eyes widened in awe at the bustling scene before them, employees diligently attending to their tasks while others relaxed on plush sofas and chairs scattered throughout the space.
The lavishness was striking; many had never encountered so of the materials before.
"Miss Claire!"
"Miss Claire!"
"Miss Claire!"
Everywhere they walked, employees paused to respectfully greet her, and she returned each acknowledgnt 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 montarily 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 astonishnt.
"What an interesting thing!" remarked the middle-aged man at the back of the group, a smile spreading across his face.
"Absolutely fascinating right!" chid in a stunning young woman beside him with flowing white hair that shimred like moonlight.
A few monts later, the group stepped off the elevator and onto the top floor, their anticipation palpable.
"Please follow ," 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.
So 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 co.
As the murmurs filled the air, as anticipation filled the room.
