Chapter 96: Aftermaths [6]

Lamphart Residence, Downtown, area 95 (out of the 100 area, the remaining 5 being managerial areas of the city), The Patriarch's Office (The Day of The Announcement):

A man with brown hair streaked with strands of white, likely in his 60s, sat alone at the desk in his office.

Stacks of documents and papers were piled high on both sides of the desk, and he sat in the middle, meticulously going through them one by one.

He wore glasses, and his eyes occasionally narrowed as he stared at the documents, his vision deteriorating more and more each day.

The office was lined with two cupboards on either side of the room, each flanked by shelves.

On the shelves were numerous items displayed to showcase the family's legacy: golden trophies gleaming under the dim light, honorary certificates commemorating various achievements, and picture frames featuring each current notable member of their family.
