Chapter 195: Pressure From All Angles

Three days later...

After the Bergs family's aide for external matters, Calhner Bergs, showed up at the store, it irked Lucas just a bit. When the meeting came to an end, the former had informed Lucas that there would be more individuals like himself coming to see Lucas. During these three days, the words of Calhner Bergs turned out to be true.

The next day, it had been the butler of the Dufour family that came to Lucas' doorsteps.

Similar to the Bergs family, the Dufour family was a top four family that had previously produced a city lord once. However, that wasn't where the family's power and influence came from.

The Dufour family dealt in the business of unique minerals and ores —a contrast to the Mertens family that sold desolate beast parts and materials. The Dufours also have a large share of the serum market. Serums were drugs with unique properties similar to the magic potions from Lucas' past life.
