The Commander of Sambia sat majestically at the head of the table, waiting for his young son to enjoy dinner with him.

The Grand Commander is no longer young, according to the usual perception of the Faren Continent, he is already an old man, his tall body has begun to cripple when he was young, and his hair has turned gray, the only thing that has not changed is the Grand Commander's gloomy eyes and the usual hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth.

After years of hard work in the business field, maintaining the status of the Edric family in the top wealthy family in Sambia, and now he has changed from a member of the twenty-two group to the general of Sambia, and the Sambians who are familiar with or not familiar with the old man will remain in awe of the old man, and will not despise him because the old man is old and frail, you know, during the seven-year term of the Grand Commander, he will be the most powerful person in the entire Sambia Kingdom.

The old man waited patiently for his young son, and the few maids who were waiting beside him did not dare to breathe, trying to make the old man ignore him, and the atmosphere in the dining room was very dull.

Finally, a tall young man hurried to the restaurant, with the same golden curls as the old man when he was young, a fair face, gray and cold eyes, thin lips, wearing a comfortable fur vest and silk shirt, seeing his young son, the old man's mouth hung a habitual smile, nodded at his young son, and began to eat.

The dining room is lavishly furnished, surrounded by elaborate tapestries made of gold threads, a few scimitars inlaid with gold and silver, glass lamps with an inextinguishable flame spell hanging from the ceiling, and a fireplace in front of the dining table burning charcoal deliberately carved to the shape of a beast.

In the center of the walnut dining table stands a small, delicate marble figure holding a fruit basket with tropical fruits from the Chult jungle in the south of Feren, a dish of honey pheasant from the estate, beet salad, bacon-wrapped trout, lamprey pie, roasted swans stuffed with oysters and mushrooms, creamy chestnut soup and wild boar ham jelly, large plates of silver, and small plates of Karatu porcelain.

Although the Grand Commander has been using secret medicine and mage's magic to recuperate, the long period of overwork in the early years, as well as the huge pressure of being at the helm of the Edric family, still caused the Grand Commander to suffer from many minor problems, so the Grand Commander's appetite was not good, and every dish was just a superficial taste, and every moment he put down his knife and fork and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

The Grand Commander slowly wiped his mouth as he looked at his young son with scrutinizing eyes, cocking his tail finger from time to time, and taking a sip of the hot coffee offered by the maid.

Seeing his father's scrutinizing gaze, Clark hurriedly raised the water glass, swallowed the chicken and peas in his mouth with the mountain spring water in the cup, and then hurriedly wiped his mouth with a napkin, waiting for his father's instructions.

After taking a few deep breaths, Clark looked at his father, seeing his father's gloomy eyes without saying a word, and the smile that had not changed at the corner of his mouth for many years, Clark couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and had to look at his father hard, but the general only took a small sip of coffee and had no intention of speaking.

The only sound in the dining room was Clark's slightly flustered breathing and the sound of the Grand Commander swallowing his coffee, and finally, under Clark's almost pleading gaze, the Grand Commander finally put down his coffee and began to speak.

"You've messed up the matter of the ETA Comptoir, I'm not wrong about you, you're really a waste. ”

Hearing his father's words, Clark trembled violently, and couldn't help but defend himself: "That's because—"

Before Clark could say anything more, the Grand Commander interrupted him: "I don't care about any excuses, I only look at the results, I only see that you tried to raise the price of Karatu silk on the market, and also released the false news that the gold trade route was cut off, regardless of the process, the result is that you bought silk at a price much higher than the market price, but failed to sell it in time, the silk quickly fell back to the normal price, and you foolishly sold the silk immediately, and finally lost a lot of money." ”

Clark was still a little reluctant to say more, and the Grand Commander then said mercilessly: "Stay at home honestly, you apply to go to the front line of Bow Valley, forget it, it is enough to have Mykros there, it is useless for you to go, it will only cause trouble for your brother." ”

Hearing his father's words, Clark subconsciously clenched his fist, but let go of his fist under his father's gaze.

Saluting at his father with an expressionless face, Clark stood up and prepared to retreat, and the Grand Commander continued: "Don't think about superfluous things, with your brother and cousin here, you have only been a mage apprentice after many years of magic, and you have no achievements in business, it is impossible for you to be in this family, and finally, take care of your pet." ”

Clark nodded palely and bowed to his father again.

Clark's elder brother Mikros is much older than Clark, and when Clark was a child, he was already a powerful adventurer, and his footprints over the years have been all over the Sea of Falling Stars, the Moon Sea, and the Northland, and even adventured deep into the dark regions many times, and he also has an unclear relationship with the pirates of the Pirate Islands, Clark's cousin Clabe is a genius in business, and he is in charge of the family's most important Six Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce at a young age, and has a great relationship with the Church of the Goddess of Wealth.

Clark was just a mage apprentice who couldn't do anything, and as soon as the little ambition for the family business in his heart sprouted, he was ruthlessly extinguished by his father, and he walked to the small building where he lived in despair.

Entering the small building, Clark did not stop in the living room and dining room on the first floor, but went straight to the second floor, where the partition on the second floor was opened to form a large hall, piled up with Clark's carefully collected musical instruments, bass playing piano, piccolo, fragrant wood piano, and there were also Karatu porcelain, Chult faience, the water clock of Neverwinter, all kinds of rare plant specimens, and skeleton specimens of magical creatures.

Clark played his own tune in the hall for a while, and felt that his hobby could not relieve the depression in his heart, so Clark chose to find his pet.

Arriving at a boudoir on the third floor, shrouded in the powerful magic cast by his teacher, Clark finds his pet, a lust demon dressed in revealing Cormier's court costume and wearing a magic collar.

"Honey, have you decided you want to kill your brother and cousin?" the glamorous Lust Demon asked casually with a sweet smile at Clarke
