Chapter 768: 302

Austin once again made clear his stance, then said, "As for you, my point is simple; I am the master of the Lando Family."

"Austin, you will regret this!"

"Let’s talk about regret when that day comes!"

Austin rolled his eyes at Wayne, "Your ambition is as lean as the flesh on a Death Knight. I can’t understand why you insist on displeasing the Royal Family. What exactly is your purpose?"

"The training I received from the intelligence service in the old days—they were downright inhuman."

"The truth?"

"The Queen struck first."

"If you’re dissatisfied with the Queen, you could take it out on the Princess. Why push me to the forefront?"

Austin was utterly speechless, "Look at the mess you made last night, spreading rumors and smearing the Queen’s reputation, staying overnight at the home of the Moonlight Church High Priest as the heir of the Tulip Family; how do you expect the Queen to see me, how to view the Lando Family?"

"Firstly, I didn’t spread any rumors. It’s true you’re the Queen’s ex-boyfriend and it’s true you went to the Magic Department for a meeting late at night. Even if it involves spreading rumors, that’s quoting gossip and it has nothing to do with my personal stance," Wayne said with a look of grievance.

"Secondly, you as the head of the Tulip Family have a higher status than an heir. Didn’t you also stay overnight at the home of the Naturalism Church High Priest? You even got married and had children. What right do you have to criticize me?"

What, the head of a family can do it, but the heir can’t?

As expected of a family head, such an imposing official authority!

On hearing this, Austin fell silent, "That’s a fallacy."

"You just admit if it’s a fact or not!"

"..."

Austin waved his hand, skipping this merciless topic, "Lately, I need to show great loyalty to the Queen to mend the rift between the Lando Family and the Royal Family. You’re not suited to be involved in this. Future tasks will also not be entrusted to you."

"Nice talk, I act tough and then you come offering sweet nothings, you still have the face to talk about loyalty."

Wayne twisted his mouth, Austin was dumping him after using him, while sweet-talking the Queen in every way.

Let’s not mention his grievances. Just think about Austin’s actions towards the Queen, it’s clearly bullying a widow and her child, kicking a widow’s door late at night.

He will tell the teacher about this matter, and he won’t spare Austin from flying far away after spicing up the story.

Without the family tasks, Wayne was happy to enjoy some leisure time, continuing with his busy daily routine.

Don’t ask, busy is busy.

Like High Priest Philomena, that night in public, he groped Philomena’s buttocks, effectively making their relationship public, thereby generating quite a few side plots.

Overjoyed, Philomena rewarded Wayne generously, which took some time;

Chris found out about her relationship with Wayne and felt depressed, needing comfort, which also took time;

Chris finding out meant that Veronica and Vely will know sooner or later, and planning ahead still took time;

Besides, there were dates with the secretary, with an Angel on the left and a Succubus on the right, needing to balance things out, which also took time.

Then, Wayne indeed found himself two new jobs.

One was researching "Princess" Elizabeth.

After Juno regained her freedom, she would deliver Elizabeth to a designated place every night. The latter is a semi-finished product of a Philosopher’s Stone embodiment, a combination of void life, Windsor Magic Department, and Papal State’s three renovations, plus the base of a Legendary Mage. It’s a masterpiece of a Magic Doll with great research value.

Because of her, Wayne gained a lot of inspiration.

The second job was doing research in the mental hospital, invited by Planck, currently negotiating the salary offers.

A while ago, Austin returned several of The Forgotten from the secret base, both he and Wayne covered it up, but they couldn’t deceive Planck’s eyes.

The old fellow is an expert in studying The Forgotten, rich in experience, and instantly saw that the few Forgotten had been repeatedly used. Despite looking almost new on the surface, they’re beyond restoration inside.

Long ago, Planck started investing in Wayne, repeatedly increasing his stake, acting as one of the few logistics captains on Wayne’s path forward without tears and bloodshed.

Planck had his own thoughts. He hoped Wayne’s Protogenos Bloodline would prove his theory and show him a clear path.

Aside from using him and personal motives, he was of great help to Wayne. Receiving his call, Wayne happily met him at the usual place.

In the bar’s private room, Mona stood behind Wayne.

Planck as usual started with a sigh, "Too similar, you and Austin are becoming more and more alike. He has a High Priestess for a wife, and now you will too."

"Even you know about this?"

"Of course, it’s all over the Magic Department. Truly a Lando Family trait, deceiving women is your expertise," Planck remarked with amazement.

Austin had a secretary, and so did Wayne;

Austin had a High Priestess, and now Wayne did too;

Austin also had the Queen, so what about Wayne? Will he have one too?

Following that logic, could one suspect Wayne of having an affair with the Princess?

Planck lifted his drink and gulped it down, his laughter subsiding as he lowered his voice and said, "What’s going on with your family? Why has Austin suddenly abandoned his usual loyalty act?"

"Planck, I don’t know what you’re talking about, our Randao Family has been loyally devoted to the Royal Family generation after generation, we are staunch monarchists!" Wayne said earnestly, as if guarding justice itself.

The effect was average, even Veronica wouldn’t buy that line, let alone the old fox Planck.

He gave a half-smile and raised an eyebrow, "Just tell me, what’s the Lando Family planning? Are you going to be tough all the way or play tough first and then soften to gain the greatest political benefit?"

"What’s your interest in this?" Wayne wondered.
