Though it required a massive initial financial investment, the long-term returns were limitless.
Andres gently swirled the red wine in his glass.
"I'm just a participant like you. As for thoughts, I don't have any right now."
While Andres and Declan stood in relative quiet, a large crowd had gathered a short distance away.
Declan gestured toward them with his chin.
"Ivan Perez, the eldest son of the Perez family. He's the government's official representative hosting the summit today."
"All those people are rushing to suck up to him, probably hoping to squeeze some insider information out of him."
Declan slowly pulled his gaze back.
"You're pretty close with Ivan's cousin, Michael Perez, aren't you?"
Every descendant of the Perez family was exceptional.
Ivan was in politics, while Michael was in the military.
Although they were only cousins, their bond was stronger than that of biological brothers.
Andres caught the underlying implication in Declan's words.
"Michael and I grew up together. As for Ivan, we've never crossed paths."
Just as he raised his glass to take a sip, Andres spotted a familiar face in the crowd.
"Third Master Salazar is here too?"
Following Andres's gaze, Declan immediately locked onto the man.
"I remember hearing his health has always been terrible. There were rumors he was on his deathbed multiple times."
"Young, brilliant, but plagued by a terminal illness. I guess the heavens really are jealous of geniuses."
The man they were discussing was an elegant, refined gentleman in his early thirties.
He was very tall but terribly thin, his skin so pale it looked almost translucent.
This was Leonardo Salazar, the Third Master of the Salazar Family.
For a long time, he had existed mostly as an urban legend.
The Salazar Family held a highly unique position in Aethelburg.
Leonardo's grandfather had been a titan in the political arena back in the day.
