After hanging up the phone, Huai Shi lapsed into silence, speaking no more.
Sitting in his chair, he began to ponder.
The key position left vacant by the deposition of the head of the Li Jian family.
The foreseeable struggle between the legitimate main line and collateral branches of the Satomi clan, as well as the long-standing, deadly infighting between the Wu Family and the Dukes, the infiltration of the Dongxia Genealogy, the Chef Demon confrontation, the Ivory Tower's arrangements…
And finally, the reward promised by Amber.
The remains of the four great monsters in the Uji Treasure.
Treasures considered on par with the Philosopher's Stone.
Their continued existence to this day, and their immense power, were secondary; what was truly important was their status in history and the foundation they had laid for the Yingzhou Phylogeny.
Like ancient relics displayed with great care in a museum.
These were all testaments preserved in history, proof of a genealogy's past.
