GREED: ALL FOR WHAT? - Chapter 2266 2266: Unwilling Determination.

Of course, Sir Krissy isn’t afraid of the Golden Hammer gang, and he won’t admit defeat even if the Golden Hammer gang tries to fight him. But he is determined not to take the initiative to antagonize them anymore.

With his mind made up, what matters now is the attitude of the Golden Hammer gang.

So he thought to himself, “I should find out how they feel about me and my family. I should also stop my wife and remove that bounty hunter.”

Not only has he decided to stop antagonizing the Golden Hammer gang, but he has also decided that his wife must stop antagonizing them. This is for the good of his family in every way.

He wants to get rid of the bounty hunter not only to appease the Golden Hammer gang but also to appease the other noble families.

The latter is especially very important now that it seems that he might be going to war with a gang with eight epic beings and a leader who is both a giant and a killer.

In case he will need the help of the other noble families, it won’t help his case by having the identity of the people who brought a judge into their beloved city and let him run amok.

The other noble families might not want to help because of the judge. So the judge has to go.

Other than this, he doesn’t know anything he can do to improve his relationship with the Golden Hammer gang. The only thing he can do now is see if the Golden Hammer gang is ready to make a move on them or not.

He is not afraid of the Golden Hammer gang, but he would like to have accurate information about the situation so that he can make a good decision as to how to move forward. He is not afraid simply for the fact that the Golden Hammer Gang hasn’t taken control of Reinfield City yet.

The noble families control Reinfield City. In order to hold on to such a valuable commodity, they have the power of at least one legend supporting him.

This is the foundation of their control of Reinfield City. It is a bona fide legend with the accompanying spiritual power and powerful divine ability, not a pseudo legend like him.

The nobles always have a legend to rely on. This is why founding families that have become destitute over time, like those of Jack’s, can still maintain their existence and dignity.

He is a rank 6 merchant and noble. He has also met most of the advancement requirements for rank 7 and is in possession of the rank 7 divine flesh that he needs to advance. So he can make the attempt to become a legend anytime.

Most patriarchs are like him. They are ready to become legends. The main reason that they haven’t done so is because they cherish their lives and don’t want to die.

Usually, rank 6 epics like him will hold on until they are about to run out of life span, they have worthy successors, and in special situations, when the situation of the family is dire and they are in desperate need of the power of a legend.

Unless any of these things happen, he won’t try to become a legend. But if one of them happens and he makes the attempt, and he dies, his family still won’t be in trouble because of the inheritance system of the noble families.

The inheritance system of the noble families is the backup put in place to help them maintain their power. What’s more, they have two of them because the nobles cultivate both the pathway of merchants and nobles.

The inheritance system is based entirely on the special nature of the two pathways. In the case of the pathway of nobles, it is based on the ability to transfer power from generation to generation through the inheritance of land.

Other pathways can also transfer power, and they can do it without any connection because this transfer of power is based on the divine flesh. If any godclad dies, their divine flesh can be used by another to gain their power. It is as simple as that.

But the pathway of nobles is more complicated than that because the foundation of their power is not only based on their divine flesh. The foundation of power of nobles is also based on their bloodline and their land.

Be it rank 1 Noble Bloodline, rank 4 Land Sovereign, rank 5 noble title, or rank 6 Ancestral Power, they all rely on bloodline connection between family members and the ownership of land. Because of this, the power of a high-ranking noble can be inherited by someone from their family.

In the case of the land that a noble controls, when they die, their children can inherit the land and use it to become a rank 4 noble.

In the case of the rank 1 divine flesh and the rank 6 divine flesh, people who are related by blood to the person who previously used the divine flesh will have an easier time assimilating it.

Their bloodline will fool the divine flesh and make it seem as if they were their ancestor. So the divine flesh won’t be as aggressive as it should be.

The rank 5 divine flesh will also be easier to absorb if it comes from one’s parents or ancestors. But more than that, because a noble title comes from the liege system, it can only be inherited by the descendants of the person who initially worked hard to acquire that title.

If a rank 5 noble dies, his children will easily be able to become rank 5 by absorbing his or her divine flesh and inheriting his or her title.

On the other hand, a rank 4 noble who doesn’t have any inheritable noble title will have to work hard himself to acquire the rank 5 divine flesh and the noble title he needs to advance to rank 5.
