"Haha, nice to meet you, Brother. My name's Su Xing Yu. I'm a new lord as well, but I've had the opportunity to be around for a while—actually, for over two years," Su Xing Yu said with a chuckle, leaning back comfortably.
Ram blinked, masking his surprise.
Two years was quite a long time for a "new" lord to survive in such a competitive domain.
Su Xing Yu seemed to read his thoughts and grinned. "Surprised? I get that reaction a lot," he chuckled. "But I figured out the basics quickly enough and my father is also a high-level Lord in Red River Domain. That opens...a few doors."
Ram's expression didn't change, but his mind raced. 'Fuck, it's a rich second-generation kid,' he thought dryly. It made sense now—the confidence, the carefree attitude, even the lavish house in the city. This guy had someone powerful backing him up.
"Must be nice having someone to rely on," Ram commented, his tone neutral.
