Chapter 38: Business Idea

6th of September, Friday, 12:00:

Lucian's recent days had been filled with piano performances at various houses and mansions, catering to the middle class and nobility alike. Thanks to Aether, his earnings had soared, a fact that never failed to astonish him. Amidst everything, he often found himself asking Selena's if there were any potential threats to him or his cherished ones.

His funds now stood at a single val note and two valling notes, still shy of what he deemed sufficient. The notion of selling the core he had acquired from Robert Bart took root in his mind. Given Robert's status as a Pact 4, it promised a substantial sum, perhaps enough to secure two Pact 2 cores.

A notion that had germinated within him days prior now held a clear purpose.
