"Of course, you can. You're the leader of the Judd family!" Veronica said to Veer in a sarcastic tone. "However, to think that you've mistreated our mother… Aren't you supposed to resign already?"Veer coldly replied, "Don't worry. Even if I do resign, you won't be the next leader. So you can stop dreaming about it already."The corner of Veronica's lips twitched. She had wanted to say something else when an old man with white hair came out from the inner chamber at that moment. With a cold voice, he rebuked them, "Enough! Your mother is still unconscious in bed right now, but all of you argue amongst yourselves here. Where are your manners?"I have not been managing things for many years, but do I no longer have any influence within the family?"Veer narrowed his eyes a little when he saw the old man. Then, he stepped forward and bowed his head. "I understand, father."After seeing Veer's attitude, he turned his attention to Veronica and the others. "It's the same for all of you.
When Marlee heard what Veronica had to say, Marlee snorted. "If that Master Eridan is really as good as you claimed, none of this would have happened at all."After hearing that, Reginald's expression turned dark before Veronica could even reply. "Marlee, there are some things that you can't just make offhand comments about. Master Eridan and his school served the royal court for centuries since the 12th century. Even when it was during the Braided Dynasty and the modern era, they still possess incredibly high status."Usual families wouldn't even be able to ask for their assistance. How can you be so ungrateful and talk behind his back after he was willing to help us a second time? I will let it pass this time, but if there's a second time, you'll be punished for this, understand?"When Veronica heard what Reginald had to say, she nodded, full of pride. "That's right. Someone like you shouldn't be questioning Master Eridan. What do you know? I'm your aunt, and I have much more expe
Originally, Veer had more faith in Harvey. But seeing that Eridan was already here and had helped deal with the problem, he had to show the geomancer some respect no matter what because he was the family leader. Especially when it was something huge like this when everyone within the Judd family who was of age would have half their body become numb. If they all fell, the Judd family would be halfway ruined.When Eridan noticed Veer, who had been so serious before, was forced to smile, Eridan smiled back at him and said, "You're welcome. Your father and I are old acquaintances, and I've come to change this place's configuration. However, now that your mother has become ill, everyone is saying that it's because of my insufficient skills."That is why I have to come to your residence one more time, whether out of my own accord or the Judd family. However, it's a little late to say this, so I think I should reveal everything so that you won't have any misunderstandings toward me!" Eri
"Don't worry. Once I'm done here, naturally, I will visit the mountains behind your residence. Once I've settled everything, all of you will be fine as well," Eridan spoke wisely to those from the Judd family.Reginald smiled and nodded. "While I am no longer the leader of the Judds of Wolsing, I can promise you that you will be the Judd family VIP if you can help us settle these problems. We will give you everything you want, whether money, prestige or something else!"Reginald knew how big the issue was. If Eridan could help them stop the looming danger, then whatever price they paid was worth it.Veer noticed how relaxed Eridan was, and he said nothing. Then, he even gave Marlee a look and told her not to say anything. Marlee upsettingly bit her lip, but in the end, she said nothing.Veronica smiled when she looked at Veer and Marlee, who had both taken a step back. "Father, Veer, don't you worry. With Master Eridan's help, I'm sure our family will be as prosperous as ever. Also
"I'm willing to swear upon my School's name, Ms. Marlee, that I’m the only one who has the power to help the Judds of Wolsing," vowed Eridan with a puff at Marlee."Of course, if someone within your family doesn't trust me, it's fine. Have someone else deal with this, and I shall immediately take my leave. From now on, our school will never step into the Judd family residence, so you better think twice!" said Eridan coldly.It was apparent to all that Eridan was forcing the Judds of Wolsing to make a choice. If there were anyone who believed in Harvey, he would leave. The School of Astronomers had its pride to consider! His reputation as the best Geomancer in Wolsing was not something that was made up either. Whoever dared to question him was to challenge his entire school."Tell your daughter to leave with that charlatan!" Reginald stared at Veer without letting Veer have a chance to say anything. "Otherwise, everything will be too late if Master Eridan leaves because of his bad mo
"How dare you!" Eridan bellowed, his body shaking with anger. "You have a sharp tongue and like to make things up! I'm willing to bet on the reputation of the School of Astrologers that she will be fine for six days and nights!"I will use the Cleansing Technique in the arts of Geomancy to cleanse the evil spirits within her one more time. Then, I will slightly change the configuration before demolishing that mountain shrine! Everything will be solved then!"Then, Eridan pointed his finger at Harvey's face and said, "Stop criticizing my expertise when you do nothing, boy!""That's right. Stop being so proud over nothing," Veronica said to Harvey, having no liking for him at all. "Don't think I don't know just what kind of personality plebeians like you have. Do you think you can do anything you want, and will your status rise once you're acquainted with my family?"In the end, you're just making nonsense that won't be able to solve the problem and make it even worse. Only a piece o
"That's enough, Veronica!" Marlee's face hardened. "No matter how good Master Eridan is, that's not a reason to treat Master Harvey like this. Not only did he heal Grandma in the first place, but we also have to respect him because he's willing to come to our family this time. We…""Enough!" Reginald was getting slightly annoyed, so he immediately made the decision. "It looks like I have no say in this despite being your grandfather, Marlee? Since you have so much to talk about, you can leave too. Otherwise, you'll take full responsibility if your grandmother's rest is interrupted!"Someone like Reginald knew how to humiliate someone without even pointing his finger at them. While he was scolding Marlee, he was actually humiliating Harvey. Since someone of his age hated the youths, who were so energetic and thought highly of their capabilities.Perhaps he did have some talent, but how could his talents compare to a true expert? It was as if he was the only one who could deal with th
Once Harvey was back in his estate, he did not dwell on what happened at the Judd family residence today. Instead, he reflected on what had happened in the past few days.Firstly, Vaughn was ready to take over the Thompsons of Wolsing with the support of Tyson and the others. Everything needed to be done before the end of Hector's mourning period, or at the very least on the day itself.Secondly, nothing could have been done with the Country H Commercial Group. Elric would not easily give up the post of the next chairman. Not only was this for his own benefit, but the fact that Emery wanted it was enough to make Elric do everything in his power to.Thirdly, it was about the Country H Martial Arts Alliance. He had already crippled one of the so-called Four Kings of the Alliance and took him as his own. No one would trouble him for the time being. The only thing he needed to do was to wait for the full moon's night, and he could finish everything in one swoop by crippling those from t
