Chapter 253
“Greetings, Lord Ian.”
“Welcome.”
Ian shook Sereau’s hand while casually looking him over. His coat, tie pin, and shoes had all changed to considerably high-quality items.
While previously his attire had been just enough to maintain the appearance of a nobleman, now it was clearly of the highest quality, seemingly intended to flaunt his wealth.
For a family that had been maintaining its lineage through rental businesses, it’s unlikely that a bundle of money suddenly fell from the sky…
“You look quite dashing today.”
“To hear such words from Lord Ian, I’m embarrassed. Haha. Thank you.”
It must be one of two things.
Either he’s using future expected profits, or other nobles have offered tributes to curry favor.
