Chapter 275: Money War (5)
Vikir pressed the cat mask tightly onto his face and stepped out.
His target was Demian, a man with long dark brown hair in the distance.
He holds the title of Director of the Imperial Money Manufacturing Bureau and an outside director of the Bourgeois Landowners Guild.
An unusual position, half Imperial official, half director of a private company.
This is hard to understand without knowing the backstory of his exile after losing an internal family political battle.
He may have lost the Game of Thrones, but he was so capable and politically aware that even the Bourgeois family couldn't completely disown him.
So, in addition to overseeing the work of the Money Manufacturing Bureau in the Empire, he also has a hand in the inner workings of the Bourgeois family's largest landowning guild.
However, his status as a civil servant comes first, and he is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of his own family, so his position as a Director of the Landowners' Guild is almost unnoticed.
His influence within the family is also minimal, almost non-existent compared to his title and social standing as an earl.
Vikir thought quietly.
'Maybe his elevation to Director was a voluntary choice to survive.'
