Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master

It was true that Cantory was the disciple of the lord of the Illuminati, but he was just learning magic from him, and had no right to really participate in the making of the important decisions of the Illuminati. Besides, his identity was known to everyone, and the members of the Illuminati were no fools, either. Hence, how could they possibly tell him about such an important matter?

Although Cantory relied on his status to build some connections among the Illuminati, he definitely couldn’t get close to someone as authoritative as Saint Edmund. Not to mention that he hadn’t become the lord of the Illuminati yet, even if he really succeeded the lord, the four saints would not take orders from him.

“In fact, what I am most worried about now is not about surviving while being sandwiched between these two parties, though it’s just as important. Our family has been operating in the Gilded Kingdom for such a long time, and this matter will at most cause our family to decline for a while. We won’t be overthrown, but…” Burgess said worriedly.

Burgess’ words baffled everyone. What could be more important than the destruction of their livelihood and survival? Once their conjecture became true, these families would lose the right to continue doing the things that used to bring them massive benefits, even if they might not be suppressed immediately. They had to stop doing many of the things they used to in order to avoid letting the royal family and the Illuminati get hold of evidence against them.

“Burgess, what are you saying? Shouldn’t you be the most worried about our future?” asked Cridia. He didn’t hide his concerns, since they were all in the same boat.

Barges nodded slightly and glanced at them before saying in a low voice, “What I’m worried about is that there might be a huge disaster if the royals or the Illuminati find out about the things that our ancestors have left for us.”

When they heard Burgess bring up the matter that they almost never talked about, everyone’s face stiffened immediately. The atmosphere in the room began to become bizarre too.
