CHAPTER 82: LUCIEN IS SUMMONED BY TWO PRINCESSES

"Cough... Sir, I am Gavien Thorne, and I am the Keeper of Vaults. From acquisition, distribution, to storage of the assets all around the Edoria Kingdom, it is overseen by me."

Gavien adjusted his glasses, showed a proud look, then lowered his voice a little,

"Sir, don’t take my earlier words to heart. I was just concerned—"

"Yeah, I know. No need to explain. Next, you.."

Gavien thought Lucien might be angry about his earlier words and wanted to clarify, but he was once again cut off, making his face dark.

But he could do nothing and stepped back as the youngster in front was already the owner now.

"Sir, I am Selrc Vane, and I look after all the trade routes, transport security, and cross-border transactions. The seaport and such come under me."

"Sir, I am Maells Dorne, and I look after everything related to the magical assets and artifacts side of Goldveil Exchange."

"I am Brannic Holt, and I look after all the logistics and transport all over the Edoria Kingdom."

Perhaps they realized Lucien didn’t want to waste time, the remaining men quickly introduced themselves one after another.

From how they were divided into different roles, Lucien could see that his grandfather at least had some talent in business.

"And you?"

Lucien nodded to everyone and looked at the tall, slim figure in front, who was the only one remaining, and asked.

"Sir, I am Irwen Sable. I look after all the intelligence and ledger aspects of business."

He introduced himself and stood silently just like the others.

"Oh? So, does that mean you know everything?"

Lucien suddenly raised his eyebrows, intrigued.

After all, wasn’t this the one he was searching for all around?

So many debtors on the list. He was going to inquire about each one and hunt them down.

He knew that the Domain Dungeon: Shadow Kingdom could open at any time.

And with his Apprentice rank strength, he was nothing there. After all, even his grandfather returned home in a coma.

And now that he was recognized by the World of Origin, to increase his realm, he had to go through the class awakening process.

That too, he didn’t know how hard it would be since his class was a unique one.

’Let this guy collect the information of everyone in the Full Collection Debtors list.’

There was a reason why Lucien diverted his attention here.

Before he would go to the World of Origin, he would stack up as much stat as he could.

"Cough... Sir, it is not that exaggerated."

Irwen was a little embarrassed by Lucien’s expectant eyes.

"But... although I may not know everything, if it is related to our Goldveil Exchange, I still have enough information."

Feeling that he might look incompetent, he immediately said, assuring Lucien.

"Of course, some information takes time. But I still have a few news about our losses in various duchies, the Lionheart family’s next plan, and—"

"Okay, no need for that. Do you have a Memory Crystal?"

Lucien directly stopped the guy who was about to explain boring things.

"Hmm? Yeah, I have some."

As a person responsible for the intelligence of the Goldveil family, Irwen, of course, had a few memory crystals in his possession.

Although he was confused, he immediately took out one and handed it to Lucien.

"Just use your mental power and imagine the things you want to decode. It will be imprinted immediately."

He also carefully explained how to use the item, feeling that Lucien might be new to this.

Lucien nodded and took the crystal in his hand, which looked clear and smooth, with faint patterns gently shifting and moving inside.

Then, as Irwin said, without waiting a single second, he closed his eyes and directly transmitted the few names of the Debtors inside.

He carefully encoded each name with some information about their location, as mentioned by the system.

Of course, he didn’t mention their embezzlement; he just gave their names and affiliations and ordered him to collect their information.

As for powerful figures like Master Alric and Lady Vernessa, he simply asked to keep an eye on any news related to them.

As for Zeyvyr, anything he could find was good news, as long as they remained discreet while investigating the person.

Once Lucien checked everything was alright in the memory crystal, he opened his eyes and threw it to Irwin and ordered,

"Okay, take this and go. I need the information on everyone in the list as soon as possible. The faster and more reliable your intel, the greater your reward. Understand?"

Lucien suddenly said to Irwin, who was staring at the memory crystal in shock.

’Who are these people?’

He wanted to ask, but the look on Lucien’s face stopped him. Those sudden cold eyes, like a beast ready to devour him alive, made him go quiet and meek in an instant.

Lucien clearly didn’t want him to ask any questions.

"You don’t need to ask anything. Just do as I say, and do it as soon as possible. Be careful. Don’t share this information with anyone but me. Now, go."

Lucien waved his hand and asked Irwin to leave. This was a very important task, and he didn’t want any delay.

The faster he got the information, the faster he could use the Debt Collection on them to start increasing his stats.

"Yes!"

Irwin understood Lucien’s intention and immediately left the hall as ordered, leaving Cedric and the remaining men confused.

’What the hell did he ask him to do?’

Cedric was really itching to know, but stopped himself. However, now he felt that maybe his son did really have a plan?

Otherwise, how could he ask Irwin to investigate people? Who were they? Even he had no idea.

"Okay, now that is taken care of, let’s—"

Lucien didn’t bother to explain and was just about to resume the meeting when someone suddenly interrupted him.

"Sir Lucien, there is someone outside who wants to meet you."

It was Garrick who suddenly ran over, conveying the news, a little anxious.

"Someone wants to meet me?"

Lucien looked at Garrick, a little confused. He was in an important meeting, dealing with everything seriously, and this guy had to butt in.

"Tell them to wait."

Garrick heard what Lucien said and smiled a little awkwardly.

He also knew his visit was impromptu. But the person who came to visit Lucien was so important that he couldn’t afford to ask them to wait at all.

So, he hurriedly came near Lucien and whispered in a low voice,

"Sir Lucien, the person who came to see you is Eldest Princess Sera and Third Princess Lilith."

Although he whispered to Lucien, everyone was close enough that they heard it loud and clear.

"Hmm? Two Princesses came here suddenly? What happened?"

Cedric even mumbled in shock, standing on his feet.

He then couldn’t help but look at Lucien, as he didn’t know what this brat did that two princesses came to visit him all of a sudden.

"Sera and Lilith?"

Lucien also raised his eyebrows in surprise. He never thought that the ones who came to visit him were these two girls.

’Why are they here?’

He was completely confused.

He already knew these two girls had looted his family’s wealth secretly and should be quite busy counting gains.

Moreover, he had just separated from Sera last night and still didn’t know how she would deal with him after that incident.

Honestly, he really didn’t want to meet them yet. If it weren’t for that bastard Lionheart family, he would have already left Bellenford Capital.

’Damn! Can’t they leave me alone?’

Lucien had a headache.

Finally, he was about to enjoy his power-up arc, and these two abominations had to come to ruin everything.

Not to mention, he couldn’t just leave them waiting outside because of their status.

"Sigh... okay, this meeting is dismissed. We will talk about plans later."

Lucien sighed with a bad mood and canceled the meeting immediately.

Just when he was about to go out, though, Cedric stopped him and asked,

"Do you want me to go with you?"

Although the two princesses specifically asked Lucien to meet, Cedric still wanted to help if needed. After all, he could clearly see the annoyed look on his son’s face.

"No need, Father. I can handle it. It is nothing serious."

However, Lucien shook his head, denied his suggestion, and turned around, thinking while gnashing his teeth in hatred,

’Just two brats with screws loose in their heads. I can handle them fine.’

After that, he looked at Garrick and ordered, before walking out of the meeting hall,

"Lead the way."
