Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 636: 204. Calm Knight

There are two kinds of family banquets in the World of Wizards.

One is a gathering-style banquet with a large number of attendees, in the form of a buffet, similar to the “salon events” in Noland Lee’s understanding, with socializing and interaction at its core.

The other one is the type of banquet Noland Lee is attending now, with only the master and servant and specific guests present, without any outsiders involved. This kind of banquet is called a private conversation banquet, which is more private, and the content of the banquet is kept confidential by default.

In a private conversation banquet, there won’t be a situation of speaking while eating. The master and servant along with the guest will have their meals first, and then move on to the guest room for the formal private conversation.

“Thank you for purchasing the five islands for Miss, Mr. Jarvis,” Kaiden temporarily acts as the host of the private conversation, explaining the purpose of inviting Noland Lee on behalf of his master.

As Kaiden’s master, a young girl named Sienna sits solemnly, nodding from time to time in accordance with Kaiden’s words.

The two of them had obviously discussed beforehand to let Kaiden take the lead in the private conversation, while Sienna would nod and support from the side, giving authority to Kaiden’s words as an inheritor of the family branch.

With a faint smile, Noland Lee accepted the gratitude from the other two.

It was quite a coincidence. On the contract of island trading, the column with the seller’s name is “Pangula Family” without specifying which principal in the family.

Not until now did Noland Lee know that the five isles he bought, all of which had been exploited for resources, were all under Sienna’s ownership.

If asked why he targeted such isles with exploited resources to buy… Noland Lee could only answer with the word “cheap” in this case.

Isles like these are priced at only about half of the same type and size isles.

In Noland’s island hoarding plan, he arranged to buy isles from small to large.

So, cheap small islands like this naturally rank at the top of the shopping list.

Kaiden didn’t pry into Noland Lee’s reasons for buying five islands at once, he knew it would be somewhat inappropriate.

He wisely avoided that topic and instead handed a document to Noland Lee.

“Mr. Jarvis, on the island list of the Island Exchange, it will not specify which island belongs to which family principal. You might be aware that the Pangula Family has two principals in the Suman Archipelago. Miss Sienna is one of them. The other one is Miss Sienna’s cousin, the fifth in line to succeed in the family, Dickler Fegan. Here I have a list of the islands owned by Miss Sienna. If you plan to continue purchasing islands, we hope you would consider our isles first. After the transaction, we will return 2% of the transaction amount as our thank-you gift.”

Noland Lee had read through the list that was handed to him.

There are 12 islands listed.

Five of them have already been bought by him, Noland Lee.

The remaining seven are still listed for sale.

All 12 islands have been exploited for resources and are all in Sienna’s possession. Considering the family inheritance system mentioned by Kaiden before, Noland Lee had some guesses in his mind.

“Kaiden, why have all the 12 islands under Miss Sienna’s name been exploited for resources?” Noland Lee asked directly.

Sienna sat aside, pursing her lips, obviously feeling a bit uneasy. She probably worried that Noland Lee wouldn’t buy her islands anymore.

Kaiden sighed helplessly first, then slowly explained the cause and effect.

Once a family member gains inheritance rights, they must undergo regular assessments by the family.

After each assessment is passed, family members can receive resource support.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

If one assessment is not passed, resource support will be lost until the next regular assessment is passed.

After Sienna became the twenty-fifth in line to inherit, her first regular assessment she faced was selling islands.

From the islands owned by Dickler Fegan, the family head transferred 12 small islands for Sienna to sell.

Dickler Fegan played a little trick, emptying the explored resources on the 12 small islands in advance, and only then transferred them to Sienna like throwing away garbage.

Why did Dickler Fegan want to make things difficult for Sienna?

Well, that’s another story.

Kaiden continues to patiently explain so as not to make Noland Lee impatient and affect the island selling matter due to his own concealment.

Sienna’s magical talent is neither Metal System nor Rock and Soil Series; according to family rules, she can only inherit one-fifth of the inheritance.

Among the inheritance she inherits, there is only the island the three of them are currently on and a small amount of money barely enough to maintain life.

This island is the family territory she inherited from her father.

She moved to live on the island from the Kashel Continent. Before selling this island, she would remain the family principal of the Suman Archipelago.

As a result, two family principals from the Pangula Family appeared in the Suman Archipelago.

To force Sienna to lose her principal status, she had to be compelled to sell her family territory.

The first step in forcing Sienna to give up her family territory is to break her first regular assessment and make her lose the resource support.

Only then would Sienna have to sell her family territory out due to financial difficulties. Of course, this territory won’t be for public sale as the Pangula family members can purchase it first.

If Dickler Fegan can get Sienna’s family territory, then there will be only him as the principal in the Suman Archipelago.

This is the war among inheritors in a large wizard family, bloodless yet full of calculations.
