Chapter Four: Challenge

Palermo watched the approaching long caravan with some hesitation, the carriage in the middle bearing the snarling bear head emblem was particularly conspicuous. No need to mention that it was the distinctive clan emblem of the Caucasus Lord who acted alone, perhaps a way to show his blatant break with his father and brothers in Cyprus City.

Remembering the warnings given by Princess Katya, Palermo felt hesitant, "This guy may not seem impressive now, but he's certainly not a nobody. I can't be sure what he might do in the future, but once he does, it's definitely going to be shocking." This was Princess Katya's prediction for the Caucasus Lord, and although Palermo wasn't fascinated by politics, his business couldn't survive without it. Since he couldn't avoid politics, he must take the initiative politically. Only by doing so could he turn his investments into profits to the greatest extent possible. That was Palermo's creed.
