Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Chapter 843 250 Kael: What does it mean to be favored by the World Mother in terms of value? (10K)_2

For the vast majority of people, it's impossible to remain aloof, viewing this era with a detached perspective, watching the rise and fall of tides calmly.

Whether it's me, those I care about, or the countless people who, like me, drift around, will inevitably be swept into the whirlpool of chaos.

Therefore, to avoid such a situation, I must choose a future that is more acceptable to me, just like now..."

Kael gently pinched the stirring rod and tapped the bottom of the teacup, said casually:

"Although I drink tea frequently, there are times when I don't like the bitterness in the tea.

The tea leaves harvested in early spring and fried, when unfolded in hot water, give off a slightly bitter taste.

I like the aroma of tea and agree that it helps quench my thirst, but that doesn't mean I like bitterness. I'll add sugar, and if it doesn't affect my health, the more the better."

"If possible, who would want to live a bitter life?"

Bartlett nodded and said, "That's why I'm willing to lend you a hand for a second reason.

You are realistic enough. Idealism often strives to portray beautiful blueprints for the future, but often lacks the determination to root down and work.

Sometimes, whether I like the person doesn't matter; what's important is whether they have a better chance of helping us push the outcome towards the most advantageous option."

"Do you think that my character will inevitably make me, when facing a true enemy in the Bell Federation, do whatever it takes to crush them for my own goals?"

"Isn't that so?" Bartlett said with a smile.

Kael sighed softly.

He's been seen through.

Kael realized that from the beginning, he had fallen into a trap.

Initially, Kael wanted to pursue a "small but refined" development path, cultivating a few top professionals who could be led by him, creating an elite organization that ordinary people wouldn't dare to provoke.

But later, due to the threat from the Charles family, Kael had no choice but to unite all the forces he could to counter the danger that could arrive at any moment.

At first, he wanted to leverage the influence of Elanna's father, Baron Newman.

For the group of emerging nobility, Baron Newman, from his own achievements to his character, has been recognized by many of them.

Led by Baron Newman, the emerging nobles working in close cooperation and coordination aren't strong, but they represent the face of the Duchy of Angilans, and even the Bell Federation.

This is how the pragmatic emerging nobles form a special group.

They are valued by the Duchy for their abilities, which also makes their status particularly unique.

The pragmatic emerging nobles can die in an accident but not in assassination and murder. Otherwise, it would be akin to roasting the Federation's rules and systems over fire.

This is an outcome that would absolutely not be allowed.

If one were to solely rely on strength to determine someone's eligibility to join the emerging nobility, it would certainly lead to major issues.

The simplest method would be for the offspring of traditional nobility, those without the right to inherit family titles but with enough resource supply, to be immediately kicked out of their families and then use their resource-accumulated strength to reverse and acquire emerging noble titles...

That way, the system released by the Bell Federation to enhance internal vitality would have no effect.

At that time, Kael considered this problem and thus didn't oppose the idea too much when deciding to fulfill the marriage contract.

After all... he first needs to ensure his own survival, regardless of whether that means leveraging the special statuses of emerging nobility in certain fields. As long as it achieves the goal, that's enough.

If there were an even simpler way to survive, Kael wouldn't mind selecting other methods.

Perhaps it was because things weren't clearly thought out from the start, leading Kael's developmental path to run completely off course later.

Trading sincerity for sincerity.

Whether it was Baron Newman or Elanna, they supported him unhesitatingly, and to say Kael wasn't touched at all would be false.

How was the Gluttonous Slime Ranch established?

Very simple—to obtain these creatures with terrifying growth speed, Kael initially attempted to, much like with the Huge Hoofed Deer, root out the Gluttonous Slimes.

But later quickly discovered that this method of artificially influencing the reproductive speed of Gluttonous Slimes was not as effective as it was with the Huge Hoofed Deer.

This likely relates to the Slimes' atypical biological structure.

But in the end, the Gluttonous Slime Ranch was successfully established...

Because after completing the first Dungeon raid on his territory, Baron Newman understood the difficulties his son-in-law was facing, and unhesitatingly handed the majority of the Gluttonous Slimes over to Kael to handle.

For example, Mr. Luxius and Senior Sister Lily also helped him a lot.

Many of the Churches in the Royal Capital, including the Archbishop, Bishops, and even some Priests, offered Kael considerable support.
