"Master, one day, I will defeat him."
When had this boss from the death arena ever been weaker than anyone else?

The Grand Duke of Frostwolf in Solan City slowly leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest in the City Lord's Mansion. He received the servant's report that the Violet Merchant Association Chamber of Commerces's carriage had left.
Christy looked at the empty archway with a silly smile on her face.
She pondered about something interesting.
A seventy-year-old butler was in the room other than the two figures. White hair shrouded his head. He dressed meticulously.
A long silence had passed.
The seventy-year-old butler said slowly, "Grand Duke, aren't we agreeing too quickly?"
The Grand Duke of Frostwolf in Solan City closed his eyes. He replied softly but did not open them.
"What should we do? What is your opinion?
"We could negotiate more conditions. We could obtain a portion of the management rights of Ell Plane. Lord Richard will make a concession.
"He needs allies and the support of Solan City."
These words prompted the Grand Duke to open his eyes.
He looked at the seventy-year-old butler who had watched him grow up with a complicated expression.
"No, Butler Yarrow, you're wrong. It's not that Lord Richard needs Solan City. We… We need Lord Richard as an ally!"
These words stunned the seventy-year-old butler.
"Grand Duke, why does Solan City need a Grace Mainland Overlord?
"We could still do it even if the other party has a plane and gathered several Grace Mainland Lords.
"But that's still a rootless duckweed that hasn't experienced the threat of the outside world..."
The Grand Duke of Frostwolf's gaze became more subtle.
"Because Grace Mainland Overlord is the future.
"He is the key to open the door to a new world.
"Richard, he might be holding this key right now…"
His expression became solemn as he spoke.
"The Holy Church Empire should change following the Third Prince's visit to Lord Richard. Bring him to see me.
"A new king might bring about a different atmosphere.
"Christy, you can go to the Violet Merchant Association Chamber of Commerce and talk to Lord Richard."
Christy's eyes immediately lit up.
Joy overwhelmed her heart.
"Father?"
The Grand Duke of Frostwolf looked at his beloved with some reluctance.
"Mhm... In June, I will open the forbidden area of the clan. You won't have the chance to go out in the next six months."
"The situation is getting more and more unclear. I can't guarantee that Solan City will be safe and sound in this chaos.
"Christy, the thing your mother left for you… I'll leave it to you.
"Strength is the only pass. Solan City needs an heir with enough strength to lead it."

Early morning of April 9th.
Richard had breakfast and softly asked Vale afterward. He had thought of something.
"Has Chairman Windsor been in Solan City recently?"
He had dealt with the Grand Duke of Frostwolf the other day. He couldn't go to the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce.
The system hadn't settled the rewards for the S-rank mission he completed last time.
During this period, the Crimson Moon did not make any big moves. It was a little too quiet.
He also wanted to know what the main character of the new expansion had planned for the next step.
It would be easier for him to adjust the development plan of Twilight City.
"Chairman Windsor told me that you must pass on the information to her as soon as possible on her return.
"Yesterday, I informed the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce.
"They responded that President Windsor would be back this morning."
That was a simple problem with the relationship between the two chambers of commerce.
Richard nodded.
"Prepare the carriage to the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce."
