The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1548

Fia—being someone with an extremely good family background—always had a sense of superiority over regular people. After hearing about Yosef’s family background, however, her eyes instantly lit up as she snuck a peek at Young Master Jenks.

After exchanging some simple pleasantries, Yosef found himself asking, “Speaking of which, Beau, what took you so long? Didn’t you promise to arrive a few days ago?”

“Ah, don’t even get me started on that… You see, throughout my absence, massive and rather drastic changes have taken place within Jenna City as well as Weston’s underground structure. With that in mind, I’ve been helping my father deal with the situation this entire time!” replied Beau.

“I think I heard some news about that as well… Sacrasolis Palace, right? Where did that large force even come from? According to what my father told me, several prestigious families and even a few underground forces in Yanam have already submitted to them! While I’ve been told that the palace master of the Sacrasolis Palace is a particularly vicious individual, rumor has it that by submitting to him, one’s family will definitely be protected and will cease to deteriorate for as long as a million years!” said Yosef.

Due to their overwhelming wealth, it wasn’t uncommon for large families to be in contact with extraordinary people. While ordinary people may find it slightly preposterous for rich families to submit to more powerful families that belonged to certain sects, it was honestly just business as usual for the wealthy.

“Speaking of which, your father’s still in the Jenna Province, right, Beau? Has he managed to contact anyone from the Sacrasolis Palace?” asked Yosef.

Shaking his head, Beau then replied, “We never got the chance. After all, there were simply too many powerful families heading there to submit themselves to them at the time. Even so, it appears that the Palace Master of Sacrasolis Palace was already pretty rich in the first place. With that in mind, many of the families there apparently didn’t suit his tastes. From what I’ve heard, to get acquainted with them, one must first pass through a number of assessments!”

Hearing that, Fia simply shook her head slightly contemptuously before saying, “But of course mere merchant families like yours aren’t worthy of getting acquainted with the Sacrasolis Palace! Do you even know how powerful the palace master truly is? How could anyone just submit themselves to Mr. Crawford like that?”

“…Oh? While we’re on the topic, I’ve heard that your family has a relationship with the Sacrasolis Palace… Does that mean that the palace master’s surname is Crawford? Also, have you met him in person?” asked Beau in a surprised tone.
