Ancestor of Hal Family

 Despite the key already on his desk, the master and young master of the Hal Family did not react, still awestruck by what they just heard. Meanwhile, the reason for it remained calm, knowing they will be bought by his blatant bribe.

 Solail cleared his throat, wanting to say yes but nothing come out, the shock taking his ability to speak for a brief moment. Solanc did not suffer from the same predicament, though.

 "No wonder you say you have something that will allow you to get the Great Families and Noble Family to race one another to destroy the Uru Family," while it might not be the precise words, it still close enough to what Ryker said.

 "Yes. To destroy a Tier 1 Family, I will not give them an offer no one can't refuse. And this is one amazing offer isn't it. Destroy one Tier 1 Family, and in exchange, the Barony would find themselves with a number of experts triple time a Tier 1 Family could offer," Ryker replied, his hand on the key.

"As much as I would say yes, in the end, such an important dec-" it seem cutting of one another is a habit in the Hal Family as the door opened to reveal an old man.

 While he may looked feeble, Ryker knew he is nothing but that, for the old man is an expert at the Genesis Source, the most powerful expert he had seen so far in the Barony.

 "Do you accept the deal, Solail?" the old man said, looking at his son with a glare that would make even the toughest of men cowering in fear. Solail is no exception, though he manage to hide it better than most.

 "No, because I am going to defer with you, father," the master of the Hal Family said, looking at his father with a tinge of worry.

 The old man snorted, "I am not going to reject such offer my foolish son. After all, there is nothing but benefits, to the Great Families, and the Baron himself,"

 Solance, Solail, and a man who just enter, likely Shuri's father, looked at the old man in surprise. 

 "How do the destruction of the Uru Family would be beneficial for the Barony?" Solail could not help but asked. He did not hate the Uru, though it did began to form since he learnt of what they did to innocents townspeople, but he did not have shared love for them either before he learnt of their deeds.

 However, he knew the destruction of the Uru could cause turmoil in the Barony, one he would have to take responsibility too if he decide to wage war against them.

 "Those Uru had always been a bunch of bad seeds. It just the Baron had to accept a lot of people when he formed the Barony, so he could not just turn them away. We will be doing the Barony a favor if what those two young'un said about them is true, which I believe it is," the old man explained.

 Hearing this, the second and third oldest in the room could not help but agree with their father's assessment. While the powerful Family receive certain privilege due to their strength and influence, in the end, it just privilege that can be taken away.

 And from the look of it, the Uru would lose their privilege to live.

 "However, I'm curious of you boy. You do realize showing such treasure to us, if we are like the Uru's, we would just grab it and then kill you," he said to the young man, who just listened to the conversation calmly.

 Ryker only have a smile on his face as he answered, "Who said I don't take any precaution? Naturally, I do put my guards up, but the time I spend with Solance and in my brief time in the mansion, safe to say, I believe the Hal is the best family if I wish to collaborate with.

 Not to mention, I did save the young master. It should earn me a favor from the family," the old man looked at the junior in front of him before he guffowed like a mad man.

 "Hahahaahah! I like your style, brat! It such a pity, if you still single, I would married you to my granddaughter," behind him, the other white-haired man let out choked gasp.

 At the mention of the granddaughter, Ryker suddenly have a horrible premonition.

 "Elder," the old man looked at him, surprised that for some reason, the young man in front of him turn pale, "Please check what type of conversation my women and the young lady has. I know the one who control the Formation in the mansion could eavesdrop on anyone, though only when the owner wish to,"

 The old man merely raised on brow before obliging. Yet, few seconds after eavesdroping, he had the urge to destroy his hearing.

 When he turned towards Ryker, the young man merely put a hand on his face, tired silver eyes boring into the old man's blue orbs. The old man merely shook his head, muttering something about today's youth, to the confusion of everyone else.

 "I will talk with the Baron and other old fogies about this. Solail, handpick the most talented members of the branch family, along with our most trusted personal. Sharan, prepare your contact with the Craftsman Alliance, specifically the Formation Master branch," hearing the order of their fathers, the two nodded, bowing to the old man. The old was about to leave but stopped, turning towards Ryker,

 "Oh, and brat. You can stay in the mansion for as long as you stay inside the capital. But please keep the voice down," the old man told Ryker before leaving.

 "What is that all about?" Solance could not help but asked the silver-eyed man, who merely sigh, "You don't want to know,"

 Suddenly, Solail receive a Soul Message from his father.

 "Oh, Ryker, my father also said he will arrange you to meet with the other ancestors of the Great Families and the Baron. After all, this is the deal between you and them, so he will help you to get the most out of it," Solail told Ryker.

 "In that case, give my thanks to the elder," Solail did just that before turning towards his son.

 "Solance, show him his room. He will be staying as long as he remained in the Capital City," the young man nodded before tugging the other young man away.

 When the two left the office, Solail turned towards his brother with a serious look, "Sharan," "I know, I will make the necessary preparation," "And I will get in contact with the other patriarch," unspoken between the two of them is that an upheaval is coming to the Capital City of Mariz Barony.
