Chapter 477: Chapter 362: Mora “Giving Up” on Inheriting the Family Fortune_3

Many nobles at Bright City actually wanted to invest in Lis but never had a good opportunity.

Mora spread the news about Lis’s new territory, which also included Lis’s own intent to signal goodwill and a willingness to cooperate.

For the Carl family, having Mora, Lis’s good brother, and also having him in charge of the most important guild, how could he possibly let Mora give up such a rare opportunity?

Intensify the investment!

Mora finally realized and somewhat resentfully said to Vim,

“Father, had you already decided to let me inherit the family and follow Lis instead of having me come back?”

By this time, Vim could no longer hold back his expression and laughed:

“Haha, you realizing now is not too slow!”

“Really…”

Mora felt somewhat helpless, not expecting his usually serious father to make such a joke with him.

However, having his father make such a decision made Mora quite happy.

He had achieved his childhood wish without giving up his own efforts, which was the best outcome for him.

Thinking this, Mora rubbed his hands together and smiled ingratiatingly:

“Father, since you’ve decided to let me inherit the Golden Vine Flower Guild, may I possibly…”

Vim looked at Mora, who had always been attentive to his youngest son and was well aware of what Mora had recently been busy with.

Since they had chosen to invest in Lis, they couldn’t be stingy about the chips paid upfront.

“I’m not old yet, don’t think about taking the president’s seat of the Golden Vine Flower Guild now.”

“But I can temporarily give you my seal, go do whatever you want!”

“Thank you for your support, Father!”

Mora didn’t mind the president’s position of the Golden Vine Flower Guild, he wouldn’t even be pleased to have it now!

But with the full support of the Golden Vine Flower Guild, the preparation for the new territory could be much easier.

Just then, a knocking sound came from outside the study.

“Come in!”

Vim’s voice regained its previous calmness.

The old butler gently pushed the door open and walked in.

“Master, Young Master Mora!”

“What is it?”

“Lord Lis Kain is downstairs right now, wanting to see Young Master Mora.”

The old butler spoke succinctly.

“Father!”

“Go ahead!”

Mora rose to his feet and followed the old butler towards the reception room on the first floor of the mansion.

Vim didn’t move, sitting on the sofa, he relaxed and smiled.

Having such a close relationship with the future Duke Kane, surely many in Bright City would envy the Carl family, wouldn’t they?

He hoped that Lis Kain would continue to rise as before, and the Carl family could also leverage this to reach a new breakthrough.

…

Lis was sitting in the reception room of the Carl family mansion, enjoying the exquisite pastries and the meticulous care of the maids.

Upon learning that Mora had returned home, he had come here alone.

It was somewhat unbecoming of his status as a Great Noble, but Lis didn’t care much.

After all, many noble etiquettes and dignities are meant to earn others’ respect and maintain their nobility status, but these had little meaning for Lis.

Title is the most important thing for many noble men, but for Lis, even the title of Duke was just icing on the cake.

Lis, who had just begun to grasp the power over his future, already had the confidence and capital to disregard these norms.

“You coming to my house, that’s really rare!”

Mora burst through the door excitedly, casually sitting on the sofa across from Lis.

Seeming very thirsty, Mora didn’t touch the coffee in front of him but grabbed the juice placed aside and took a big gulp.

Lis watched with interest as Mora, filled with excitement, sat across from him, not even rushing to inquire about Count Pitry.

“You rascal, did something good happen?”

Responding to Lis’s inquiry, Mora nonchalantly waved his hand:

“It’s nothing big, just that my father has finally recognized my ability and allowed me to be the heir of the family!”

“Ho, that is indeed good news!”

Lis’s mind stirred, somewhat guessing the intention of the president of the Golden Vine Flower Guild.

However, Lis didn’t mind, since the benefits were still with his good brother.

“He finally noticed my Talent!”

Mora, in front of his good brother, didn’t hide his excitement and proudly stated.

“Come on, rein it in, look at you getting all carried away,”

Lis said laughing, in a teasing tone.

Mora continued to boast in front of Lis, happily speaking while eating a piece of jam-covered cake:

“So, why did you come to see me today?”

“Count Pitry, do you know him?”

Lis asked straightforwardly.

“Count Pitry…”

Mora thought for a bit and while munching on the cake, he took out a pile of well-maintained parchment from the storage ring, carefully picking out one and handed it to Lis.

Lis took the parchment and saw it was densely written with a lot of information about Count Pitry, including his address in Bright City, his subsidiaries, and a series of other details.

It even had a small portrait of a middle-aged man on the back.

Mora, while eating the jam cake, said vaguely:

“This Count Pitry, I have met him a few times, do not have much of an impression.”

“I did encounter him at a banquet a few days ago; he said he admires you and wanted to meet you!”

“Oh?”

Lis flipped through the information in his hand and smiled slightly.
