Chapter 617: Chapter 398: Leaving the Capital _2

Considering Vanessa’s relationship, Byron Devin is her elder, and with the support of Master Lane, integrating the Horizon Bureau would be smoother.

Jim is one of their own; he can wait for a while.

Byron Devin had a dignified appearance, a classic handsome middle-aged man. Owen Bertram respectfully greeted him: "Greetings, Uncle Byron." Byron Devin hurriedly stopped him: "Mr. Bertram, you are too polite, unworthy, indeed unworthy."

The maid brought the tea. Byron asked about Vanessa’s situation. Owen reported every detail, and naturally also praised Vanessa. After establishing their relationship, Byron vaguely stated his intentions: "In recent days, Mr. Bertram has made quite a stir in the Capital, almost single-handedly creating a storm. However, the future of the Horizon Bureau is still uncertain, and I’m pretty confused."

Owen pondered for a moment and said, "If Uncle Byron is interested, I can introduce you to Master Lane."

Byron Devin agreed with his request: "That would be great."

So Owen called someone over: "Go ask Mr. Oamond where Master Lane is now." When the servant left, Owen turned to Byron Devin: "There is someone waiting; please wait a while, and after I’ve seen that person, I will take you to find Master Lane."

Byron Devin agreed and drank tea while waiting.

Owen Bertram came out and met with Jim in a side hall in the front courtyard. As soon as he saw him, Jim knelt down: "Greetings, Your Majesty! I was fortunate to return in time from handling my affairs, otherwise, I would have missed you."

Owen smiled and waved his hand: "Official matters come first. How did your errand go? Can you be promoted again?"

Jim was ashamed: "I have failed Your Majesty’s expectations; it is difficult to be promoted in the short term."

Owen, however, said: "Now is a time of great change; there may still be opportunities available." Jim’s eyes lit up: "Your Majesty means..."

Owen waved: "I’ll arrange it for you. But after being promoted to revered Lord, you will need to be more dedicated to your duties. Also, your cultivation level is too low; you should improve as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Owen told him to go back and wait for news. Andrew Oamond’s people informed that Abner Lane had just returned to his mansion. Owen took Byron Devin to visit him.

There was a long line outside Master Lane’s mansion, all waiting for an audience with Master Lane.

Byron Devin was still somewhat uneasy at heart in such a moment of great change. He knew his value but was also aware that due to Harrison Ainsworth’s "crime," any connection to the General government could be implicated, and it wouldn’t be difficult for Master Lane to replace him.

Owen bypassed the queue and entered directly. The gatekeeper, seeing him, led the way and ordered others: "Hurry, hurry, hurry; inform Master Lane that Mr. Bertram has arrived."

Owen told the servant: "Ask the others to prepare some of Master Lane’s fine teas for me, and ten pounds of that diamond-shaped candy. Last time, I brought some back; my sister liked it a lot, so this time I’m taking more..."

Although separated by a few courtyards, the Seventh Level inside was already yelling angrily, "Do you want to move my entire Lane Mansion!"

Owen playfully responded: "No can do, my sister is already chubby, ten pounds is enough, I can’t let her eat too much."

Nick Liam snorted: "Just get in here already!"

Owen signaled the servant to prepare quickly.

He brought Byron Devin with him, and it was clear that Owen and Nick were quite close. Finally, Byron’s heart settled a bit. Vanessa was not valued at home but had been born with an attractive appearance. Her family originally positioned her as a marriage tool. She had set her sights on a small Military Officer, wanting to cultivate a relationship with him — such trivial matters wouldn’t even reach people of Byron Devin’s stature. He never expected to have to seek help at that Military Officer’s door.

Master Lane pulled himself out from the mountain of files. Owen hurriedly introduced, "This is Byron Devin, the Internal Canon’s supervisor."

Master Lane and Byron Devin had met before, but under the current situation, if Byron had come to ask for an audience, he would have to wait in line like those outside, and whether Master Lane would see him was still uncertain.

Owen didn’t stand on ceremony with Master Lane, and took the initiative: "Master Lane, I need a Revered Lord position for one of my men."

Master Lane pointed to the door: "Get out! What do you think a Revered Lord is? A cabbage?"

"Isn’t this for your benefit, Master Lane? In order to integrate the entire Horizon Bureau, especially the General government, we should have our own people in every department for peace of mind."

Master Lane asked: "Which department?"

"Internal Canon, a Prescott named Jim, whose achievements should be sufficient."

Master Lane thought about it, and he indeed didn’t have any suitable candidates to place in the Internal Canon. Jim seemed usable, so he pointed at the door again: "Leave, I have business to discuss with Byron."

Owen left cheerfully, taking the prepared snacks with him.

He went around the corner to Nick Liam’s Mansion. Nick had also been staying indoors recently, only coming out at night to discreetly visit the Education Bureau for relaxation purposes.

There were some things Nick Liam couldn’t decide alone.

Owen encountered closed doors, and after the doorman went in to inform him, he came out and apologized to Owen: "My master said he is unwell today and will not see Mr. Bertram."
