Chapter 318: Stake of Souls

After successfully gaining some trust from my grandfather, the hardest part of my plan was finally complete. All I needed to do was solidify his trust until he finally passed on the family head title. 

I didn't know how long it would take, but my goal was to be finished in a year at most. There is no telling when The Pope may act again, making it feel like holding a bomb that could go off at any moment. 

I also can't forget the ordeal with Freja. Even now we still don't know why she was working with The Pope to seal Shaman's parents. There were a lot of moving parts, making me wonder how Shaman isn't overwhelmed by all this pressure. 

She is being pushed into the hero role because of her unique abilities, but will it even be enough? We are all trying to get to Tier 10 as quickly as we can, but surely there are others who are better positioned to handle this matter.
