Capítulo 227: Meeting Shane

Shane Emerald was a very enigmatic businessman.

Contrary to the nobles, his demeanor and aura were notably different.

While the nobles wore their wealth like armor, showing off expensive robes and extravagant accessories that served no practical use, Shane's understated elegance suggested a confidence borne not of heritage but of hard-won achievements.

As Leo finally spotted him within the Royal Palace, he could immediately notice that Shane was different from the surrounding nobles he was chatting with by a mile.

His smile was sparing but genuine, and his eyes, sharp and assessing seemed to miss nothing—a stark contrast to the often dismissive gazes of the blue-blooded elite.

Raised in the merchant quarters of the Lower Fifth District, Shane's beginnings were humble, a world away from the gilded corridors of power he now navigated with ease.
