Taking a Gamble

Previously, Jace's attention had all been on becoming the Huttons' helmsman.

But Lucas had ruined his chances and even helped another illegitimate son of the Huttons rise up to the position that should have belonged to him.

What the white-bearded old man had said opened another door for him, making him aware that he was qualified to become the successor of the royals!

The eight top families of DC were nothing compared to the royals.

In particular, the thought of trampling all over Lucas made Jace even more tempted and eager for the arrival of such a day!

The white-bearded old man made another timely remark. "Jace, you're an ambitious person, and that will become your greatest motivation!"

Hearing this, Jace felt empowered, and his fear and scruples toward Lucas immediately vanished.

"That's right, Mr. White. You're right! I have to defeat Lucas Gray. I have to become the successor of the Whitleys!"
