1025: Chapter 505: Who Gets the Last Share_4 1025: Chapter 505: Who Gets the Last Share_4 He was upset, but since the Pavilion Master of the Mysterious Pavilion had submitted and went on to work for Owen Bertram to atone, he could only reluctantly agree to be a witness for Owen Bertram upon his return.
Seeing his thoughts, Owen Bertram did not expose them but instead bid him farewell with a aningful gaze.
This inexplicably confused Levi Ingemar, who speculated about Owen Bertram’s intentions throughout the journey.
He even doubted whether Owen Bertram was truly as rumored to have a preference for male love!
After all, this ti he had witnessed that there were indeed no intimately related won around Owen Bertram.
In a few days, Levi Ingemar and Uncle Xavier returned to the capital, and the news they brought back excited the nobles of the entire capital!
These people were not unwilling to invest – everyone envied the few families that had invested in the war – they just doubted whether Owen Bertram had the ability.
Now that Owen Bertram had proven he could, and could make money with them, he beca a “friend” they all vied for.
Owen Bertram’s friendship was worth its weight in gold!
After that, it was a fight for shares.
Naturally, Uncle Xavier’s side obtained the largest portion, and the leftovers were divided among the various households.
Those who had been skeptical before, such as the families behind Levi Ingemar and Gene, were naturally passive now and couldn’t obtain many shares no matter how hard they tried.
As a result, Levi Ingemar and Gene were implicated, constantly being complained about and alienated in their circle.
Gene fared sowhat better, as he was of high status but rarely showed his face.
Levi Ingemar, on the other hand, found it difficult to bear.
During his grandfather’s tenure as the second auxiliary, he had beco accustod to being surrounded and adored.
Now suddenly isolated, his voice unheard and people gossiping behind his back – the contrast was too great, and Levi Ingemar couldn’t accept feeling miserable.
After a dozen days or so, most of the shares had been divided, and the remaining portion was even more competitive.
Levi Ingemar, who usually feasted every night, had already stayed ho for three nights in a row…
with no one inviting him out!
He couldn’t bring himself to invite others either, so he sulked in his room all by himself.
As he lay listlessly on a couch, his grandfather unexpectedly entered the room.
“Grandpa…” he started to stand up, but his grandfather picked up a nearby clothing and threw it to him, “Put on your clothes and co with .”
Levi Ingemar didn’t understand but dared not question his authoritative grandfather, quickly put on his coat and followed him out of the mansion through the back door.
Under the cover of night, the two, accompanied by a Sixth Great Realm bodyguard, quickly arrived at an unassuming residence.
The doorman seed prepared for their arrival and let them in without question.
Inside the Main Hall, there were already two people seated, one host and one guest chatting happily.
Levi Ingemar recognized the guest as Chancellor Ryan and the host as Abner Lane, the Commander of Horizon!
Levi Ingemar was genuinely surprised, and even more shocking was that Abner Lane, seeing Grandfather, smiled and got up to greet him, “Boss has arrived, please take your seat.”
Afterward, Abner Lane cut straight to the chase and said, “The leftovers are reserved for you two as agreed upon beforehand.
You can keep them for yourselves, have soone else hold them on your behalf, or transfer them to designated personnel…”
Levi Ingemar felt thunderstruck: What’s going on????
He didn’t catch a word of the following negotiation between the three, and remained lost in thought throughout.
Then, still bewildered, he was taken back ho by his grandfather.
Once seated, his grandfather ordered a bowl of cold tea for him.
After he finished drinking, his grandfather asked, “Do you know where you went wrong this ti?”
Levi Ingemar regained his senses and complained, “You treated like a pawn!
If you had told earlier that this was a sche you were planning together, I wouldn’t have let others manipulate !”
Grandfather shook his head, “Wrong answer, think again.”
