Chapter 27: Instructor
The argument ended in a weird atmosphere as the patriarch kept deflecting the issue to money.
Sir Rosen looked at the satisfied patriarch speechlessly. "You really hate those elders."
The patriarch snorted. "Why are they acting like court ministers? Scheming there, scheming everywhere. What do they want from this family? We are basically just a hollow shell." Then he sighed. "Most aristocratic families are now hollow shells."
"Now with the new era, the Void Regulation Authority (VRA) was becoming particularly strict with void users." The old man shook his head. "Meeting with their chairman is a hassle. That stoic old guy's face always haunts my nightmares."
"That's probably because the Hollow Accord is now becoming more active." Mr Rosen said as he sipped the tea.
"Those shit heads are really causing trouble everywhere." The patriarch murmured. "I don't know what's going on, but it seems to have been getting worse these days."
Mr Rosen remembered something. "Wasn't the heir of the Vexley family attacked just a while ago?"
The patriarch thought about it. "Yeah, it was a fortunate accident. Their son managed to awaken void energy. They are now eligible to access the other world."
Thinking about the recent events, Mr Rosen felt that something was brewing. "A lot of ordinary people are now encountering void users. I don't know if this is a signal for some kind of chaos, or just the wheel of life evolving."
"If something bad is happening then let it happen." The patriarch didn't care. "Let's find a way to solve that problem when the problem is already there."
"A lot of ordinary elites have now gained interest in the void." Thinking about the mess that was happening, Mr Rosen felt headache.
