Compass

Lucy and her father were currently facing such a problem.

In the first place, Lucy's father was not a core member of the Goodman family.

Lucy's father strived for the opportunity to expand the Goodman's family influence in the Eastern markets. However, if he failed, he would be abandoned by the Goodman family. This meant that Lucy would also be abandoned.

Therefore, Lucy understood that even if her father succeeded this time around, he would not become classified as 'important' within the Goodman family. It was merely a temporary means to preserve their position in the Goodman family.

And hence, Lucy had other plans. Other than helping her father expand their family's influence into the Eastern markets, she wanted to find the long-lost compass that belonged to the Goodman family.

That was the easiest, most effective, and most direct way for them to gain their family's approval and trust.
