I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means-Chapter 427 - 362 Mora "Gives Up" on Inheriting the Family Estate

"Father, what are you saying?"

Mora was somewhat in disbelief, but the demeanor he had cultivated over the past six months allowed him to keep the surprise from showing on his face.

Vim, seeing that Mora could still control his emotions well, nodded slightly in satisfaction and continued in a calm tone,

"I am preparing to let you inherit everything I own, including the shares of Golden Vine Flower Commerce and the position of president, as well as the Carl family’s title."

Mora was silent for a moment, to be honest, he was indeed quite surprised.

After all, from childhood until now, his father had never shown a hint of this intention, always grooming his elder brother, Jon Karl, as the family heir, while adopting a laissez-faire attitude towards him.

Why had his father suddenly made a complete 180-degree turn in his thoughts?

"I don’t understand why you would do this, Father?"

Mora stated honestly, expressing his doubts.

It was impossible not to be tempted; after all, Golden Vine Flower Commerce was also one of the top five guilds in the Feis Kingdom, although it still fell short compared to Feis Commerce and Radiant United Commerce, but for the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, which had only been established for six months, it was already a behemoth.

Whether it was the industries and guild branches spread across various cities and regions of the Feis Kingdom or the accumulated wealth and seasoned reliable manpower, they were all aspects that the White Dove Chamber of Commerce could not match.

That was precisely why, after leaving Bright City, Lis had casually poached the main manager from the Feis convoy.

However, with the substantial increase in Lis’s status and power, especially since he was about to become the Duke with the largest territory within the Feis Kingdom, the White Dove Chamber of Commerce was undoubtedly set to experience a new wave of rapid development.

And as the vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce, while Lis was frequently absent, Mora had in fact already taken over most of the Chamber’s powers in place of Lis.

Mora did indeed think of striving to inherit the Golden Vine Flower Commerce, but with the passion he had poured into the White Dove Chamber of Commerce over the past six months, especially after hearing from his father about inheriting Golden Vine Flower Commerce, he wasn’t as excited as he had once imagined.

Mora quickly calmed the tumult in his heart and quietly observed his father, Vim.

Vim too let out a soft sigh, stood up from behind the desk, and sat on the sofa opposite Mora, folding his hands in front of his chest.

"Mora, my son,"

"you should be very aware that previously I had indeed always planned to let your elder brother Jon inherit the Carl family."

"But it has been proven that Jon could perhaps handle being a manager at Golden Vine Flower Commerce, but to become the president of Golden Vine Flower Commerce, balancing the various internal powers, he is far from adequate."

"The most important thing is, Jon’s vision is too shallow; he always only sees the immediate Gold Coins, and is oblivious to future dangers."

Vim shook his head, his face showing a look of regret, then continued,

"The most important thing is, he is too confident, always believing he can handle things well, never listening to other’s advice."

"Although over the years it seems he has done well, bringing considerable profits to the guild, at the root of it all he still relies on the guild, relying on the family’s power to shield him from the elements."

"If it were anyone else it might be fine, but he is the Carl family’s heir!"

"The future is not about the family shielding him; it’s about him leading the Carl family forward, and he still has a lot lacking."

Seeing Vim’s serious expression, Mora couldn’t help but sit up straight, his demeanor becoming much more earnest.

Although Mora held some grievances, blaming his father for not giving him the opportunity to compete with Jon, he still regarded his father, who had controlled the Golden Vine Flower Commerce for over twenty years, as his goal to strive for.

He had always hoped for his father’s approval, but Mora hadn’t expected this day to come so suddenly.

"Then why choose me as the family’s heir?"

Mora asked softly; honestly, it all came too suddenly, catching him off guard.

Vim didn’t mind his youngest son’s doubts, nodded, and said:

"If you were your former self, I wouldn’t have considered handing the Carl family over to you."

"In the end, although Jon might lack capability, he is diligent enough."

"The worst case would have been letting Jon give up the position of president of the Golden Vine Flower Commerce, as long as the family firmly holds the shares, maintaining it would not be a problem."

"You are very clever, but previously you were too casual; I couldn’t see you handling Golden Vine Flower Commerce at that time."

Mora’s face showed a change for the first time, giving a sheepish smile.

Indeed, he had been somewhat self-destructive before, especially after choosing to enter the Feis Royal Magic Academy, and although he made good friends like Lis and Bernie, unlike the hard-working duo, he had always been lingering among the girls.

If it weren’t for being pulled up by his good buddy Lis later, who knows if he would still be living a life lost in oblivion!

Vim didn’t mind Mora’s embarrassment and continued:

"But I never expected that Marquis Kane would hand over the White Dove Chamber of Commerce to you to manage, and even more so, I didn’t expect you to perform so excellently!"

Mora looked up at the serious middle-aged man before him; it was the first time he had heard such high praise from his father.

"In the past six months, I have been observing your actions within the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, and although some aspects are still a bit naive, you have managed the development of the White Dove Chamber of Commerce very well."
