Austin burst out laughing, but as he laughed, he felt sothing was off and warned, “Don’t ss around, she’s old enough to be your mother.”
“It’s not who’s ssing around right now, it’s the other side that’s going to cause trouble.”
Wayne grumbled, inexplicably confident, Austin really dared to say it, as if an aunt was as easy to deceive as a college girl.
Austin couldn’t stand these comnts and warned Wayne to be more restrained when conning, asserting that if Veronica felt wronged, he wouldn’t let it go easily.
“Alright, father-in-law.”
(눈_눈)
“Father-in-law?!”
“Get lost!”
————
Austin told Wayne to get lost and left the study himself.
Outside the door, gan took down the sound barrier, followed behind the old master and the young master, her eyes filled with contempt as she watched the two dark figures.
She had heard everything!
The three of them got into a black luxury car, and Austin refused to sit with Wayne, choosing instead to sit in the back with gan.
Wayne was peeling off his bandages and expressed his understanding.
He would choose to sit with the butler, secretary, or mistress if it were a multiple-choice question.
Austin removed the bandage and placed it on the back seat without throwing it away; it could still be used later.
He said to Wayne, “Even though you’re serving as Brand Ambassador and will be hosting the High Priest from the Moonlight Church, your status is still not sufficient.
On the day of the pick-up, the Magic Departnt will also send a deputy minister…”
Austin explained the pick-up procedure.
The Queen is the head of the Magic Departnt but doesn’t get involved in managent directly; under her authority, there are three deputy ministers in the Magic Departnt.
Ob, due to demanding the Moon Shadow To, was one of the five suspects and was prohibited from participating in the welco ceremony.
He’s currently busy setting up a self-investigation team.
The Queen selected one of her trusted from the remaining two deputy ministers, Ivette Collins, a legendary female mage from the Collins family within the Tulip Family.
The Tulip Family has deep roots in various Windsor sectors, including magic, with the Collins Family specializing in magic.
Although not well-known in secular society, their prestige within the Tulip Family is extrely high.
There were also whispers that everyone in the magic field wanted a piece of the pie, but the Collins family got there first and dominated the blue ocean while others watched enviously, smiling on the surface yet cursing inside.
The fourteen branches of the Tulip Family aren’t united at all!
“Why are you telling this, do you want to suck up to Lady Collins?”
Wayne raised his eyebrows, emphasizing the word ‘suck up’ with suspicion, thinking that Old Login wasn’t looking for a successor but a socialite.
Many great families and conglorates have similar private forces for their own use and to entertain distinguished guests, waiting for the right mont for a seamless collaboration.
Austin couldn’t be bothered with Wayne; he clarified Ivette Collins’s background so that Wayne would restrain himself and neither deceive nor be deceived.
In a nutshell, maintain a certain distance.
As he spoke these words, Austin’s face was less than pleased; bringing Wayne to the Magic Departnt essentially made clear the latter’s status as the successor.
While this had been the plan, the timing was much earlier than expected, which was upsetting.
Acceptance ≠ Full acceptance.
Approval ≠ Complete approval.
In Austin’s mind, he had at least one year to train Wayne, waiting for the right mont to officially announce the successor’s role.
But the Queen’s directive threw all plans awry.
…
Windsor, Lundan, Magic Departnt.
The Magical Departnt Headquarters building is located in the West District of Lundan, very close to Buckingham Palace where the Queen resides.
As the most secretive departnt of Windsor, its facade reads ‘Forestry Resources Planning Bureau.’
It’s considered a seemingly useful yet largely useless departnt with idle responsibilities, and its aging workforce has led outsiders to see it as a political retirent ho.
The Magical Departnt Headquarters covers a vast area, with classical-style architecture featuring several large office buildings, a museum, a theater, a high-end restaurant, looking less like a governnt office building and more like a large estate or a fee-charging park.
Besides the headquarters, the Magic Departnt has several branches in Lundan, disguised as hospitals, zoos, and concert halls.
Strictly speaking, Plank is among the Magic Departnt higher-ups, and the Red Leaf Forest Asylum can be considered a branch of the Magic Departnt.
The black luxury car stopped at the gate, and two guards conducted an inspection.
gan presented the credentials, the guards confird the visitor list for the day, and they opened the gate to let them through.
The car drove for five minutes within the park and stopped in front of a four-story office building.
The building was white, with many pillars and a grand design, a standard example of classical architectural style.
This building housed the office of the deputy minister, Ivette.
gan stayed put while Wayne followed Austin inside to et this female deputy minister.
She was in her fifties, elegantly made up and with a dignified air.
Judging the age of a mage, especially a legendary mage, by appearance is undoubtedly a mistake, but since she chose to project that image, she wished for others to offer her the sa respect due to elders.
Austin showed great respect, lifting the elder’s hand for a gentle kiss: “Ivette, it’s been a long ti.
Your allure remains as astonishing as ever.”
Ivette smiled lightly, “Austin, I’ve heard you’ve been having so trouble recently.
How about it, do you need to speak a word or two on your behalf?”
“Thank you for your kindness.
I’ll handle this matter myself; it’s not that troubleso.”
The two chatted for a bit, and the conversation shifted to Wayne.
Austin patted Wayne on the shoulder, introducing, “This is Wayne, a junior in the family.
He’s a bit of a fool and his mouth is not the most pleasant.
I apologize in advance if he offends.”
