"But no matter how big those artifact refining factories are, it can’t possibly produce the quantity of artifacts required by the military departnt, right?" Walter Yoder frowned.
"That’s correct, so what they truly seek is Heavenly Path University," Mr. Yoder said.
Walter Yoder imdiately recalled that Laurencio Kirilova from Heavenly Path University had a good relationship with Mr. Lin, and collaboration was not out of the question.
Heavenly Path University absorbs so many artificer students every year.
Even if the Yoder family recruiting nurous talented artificer, in term of reserve, it’s naturally couldn’t match with Heavenly Path University’s.
Besides, Heavenly Path University wasn’t just an educational institution; they were self-sufficient in many aspects.
"It must be Laurencio Kirilova; he’s been at odds with us for years," Walter Yoder’s expression turned serious.
"Continue pressing the military departnt. If they refuse to collaborate with the Yoder family this ti, the number of artifacts supplied to them in the future will significantly decrease, and prices will rise. Let’s see if it’s Heavenly Path University’s abundance of essence unity crystals or the Yoder family’s reserves that prevail."
The hefty thud of the walking stick in Mr. Yoder’s hand echoed heavily against the floor, and its muffled sound akin to the distant rumble before a storm.
"What about those slots?" Walter Yoder inquired again.
The thirty spots not providing much advantage for their family.
"Heavenly Path University has fifty spots in their ranking competition, but it’s already underway, and we might not secure many."
"Nicholas Sabate has been very cautious with our family since long ti ago. He’s keeping the Yoder family tight-lipped to prevent us from interfering in Heavenly Path University’s ranking competition," Mr. Yoder saw through it, and recognizing the military departnt’s determination this ti.
His stern gaze holding an intimidating authority.
Walter Yoder also realized this, "The final round is about to start. I’ll try harder; if I can bribe a few more, I’ll do so."
Mr. Yoder nodded, and leaving with a parting remark, "The plan for the new disaster zone must succeed, not fail."
"I understand, Father," Walter Yoder nodded in agreent.
anwhile, in the office of Heavenly Path University,
"To think they’d drag into this ss. Even if I agree this ti, the Yoder family is petty and holds grudges. Next ti, they’ll surely make things difficult. Think it over. There must be pressure from the military departnt as well," Laurencio Kirilova squinted his eyes, while staring at the holographic screen who currently displaying Mr. Lin.
"We’ve thought it through. The Yoder family has been domineering for too long; it’s ti for a counterattack. The pressure from the military departnt can still be managed for now," Mr. Lin said it with a smile.
Laurencio Kirilova raised an eyebrow, "Will Stephen Zhao agree?"
"When it cos to matters affecting the country’s future, Stephen Zhao knows what’s important. He’s long been displeased with the Yoder family," the last sentence held the crux of the matter.
"Friendship aside, debts must still be settled," although Laurencio Kirilova was the dean of the artifact refining college, so matters couldn’t be decided unilaterally.
Mr. Lin understood this well; even brothers had to settle their accounts, "Also, pay closer attention recently. If the Yoder family fails in their objectives, most likely, they’ll reach out to disrupt the ongoing senior ranking competition at the school. That girl from the Yoder family shouldn’t be underestimated."
"As long as they don’t disrupt the school’s regulations, I won’t intervene; it’s up to the Yoder family’s capabilities."
The opportunity in the new disaster zone was a significant temptation, especially for those without connections, and relying solely on their abilities as a spirit cultivators.
They needed that spot more.
Although Heavenly Path University had a complex structure, the higher-ups aid to admit more commoner students because they had a stronger sense of belonging toward the school.
Leading the institution to relax its admissions criteria and policies in recent years.
So might not have noticed, but the number of commoner students walking the school grounds increased almost every year.
However, there is also a downside; commoner students are very easily to be recruited and influenced, like by the Yoder family.
They often send so talented youngsters from their family into the artifact refining college to gather outstanding talents and absorb them into the Yoder family.
The fact that the Yoder family’s artifact refining factories have sustained their developnt until now is also due to this reason.
Fortunately, in recent years, the Yoder family’s influence within the artifact refining college has diminished compared to before.
Among the senior grades, there’s a standoff between Michael Wang and that girl from the Yoder family.
The Yoder family’s attempt to control the artifact refining college through their younger generation is no longer feasible.
"Oh right, what about Amalia, who was ntioned earlier? How is she doing in the artifact refining college? I recall the junior grades is being dominated by the Yoder family’s younger generation, soone nad Rasler Yoder," Mr. Lin suddenly rembered.
"I’m not very familiar with the specifics situation. It’s only been less than a month since the sester has started, so there might not be much action," after all, Laurencio Kirilova wasn’t idle and he couldn’t deliberately focus on a junior.
Mr. Lin shook his head, "When the Yoder family’s juniors entered Heavenly Path University before, each of them always made quite a stir from the start. This Amalia seems to have ek temper."
"Artifact refining itself requires patience. It might not be a good thing if soone is too impulsive," Laurencio Kirilova remarked.
"That also true, then let’s wait and see," Mr. Lin agreed without delving further.
They moved on from this topic and turned to discuss matters concerning the military departnt.
Thus, they missed another golden opportunity.
Unbeknownst to them, the seemingly mild-mannered Amalia had already engaged in a regular challenge and a life-and-death battle at the weaponry departent among the first-year students, and making a na for herself.
Even the seniors had heard about her na.
