Chapter 7: SSS-rank affinity
Two days went by quickly as Logan immersed himself in reading, reviewing countless reports and files. Thanks to his exceptional memory, he'd managed to remember the majority of them.
'Some businesses are rather easy to understand, such as mana core processing and cave rights, but others require more in-depth research,' Logan thought, having read through some basic documents about the scope of the businesses.
Overall, the past two days had been relatively peaceful. Something Logan welcomed with open arms after having his life turned upside down.
Other than Edric, only Silas had come to visit him. During the visit, Silas explained he would be gone for the next two weeks, having joined a raid team for an A-rank dungeon.
'If I have any more questions, I'm supposed to ask Edric, and he'll bring me into contact with the right person,' Logan thought.
In the past two days, Logan had also come to understand that the family businesses weren't in a perfect state right now. This was all thanks to Silas, who had sent him the document right after the visit.
'Turns out, being without a leader for an entire year created quite serious problems,' Logan thought, having made some notes about the current situation.

'Some departments have already fallen behind competitors,' he noted, 'and the lack of direction has shaken confidence among the regular staff. Without stability, people start fearing for their jobs.'
'External suppliers are also losing trust in the businesses and are switching over to competitors.'
