Making Millions With The Eyes Of God by Eric Gus

Chapter 850

What?

Gilmore turned down the position of imperial preceptor and showed no interest in half of the Golden Tower Empire’s territory.

This, indeed, took all the civil and military officials by surprise.

But upon further reflection, it wasn’t strange at all.

Consider this, Gilmore had easily defeated the Ice Venerable Master and the eight Ice Kings.

If he truly coveted the lands of the Golden Tower Empire, he could claim them in the blink of an eye.

Neither the Golden Tower Empire nor the Ice Clan could stand as his match.

Anything he desired was almost within his grasp.

He didn’t need Huston to offer him half of the empire.

So, it was clear that Gilmore genuinely held no interest in so–called power or territory.

At the banquet, Huston showed no significant change in expression upon hearing Gilmore’s refusal of his generous offer. He had anticipated such a response.

Huston addressed Gilmore, “Mr. Reed, since you are not inclined to stay as the imperial preceptor for the Golden Tower Empire, nor wish to share the reign with me, I won’t press you.

“However, the position of the imperial preceptor and my promise to share the empire with

Il always be open to you.”

Gilmore replied, “For that, I thank Your Majesty.”

Sitting beside Huston, Amy kept stealing glances at Gilmore.

Seeing him decline her father’s invitation, her eyes sparkled with an enigmatic light.

The grand and lively banquet continued for two whole hours before all the civil and military officials finally left, content and

merry.

And with that, the officials had all dispersed.

Huston, along with Amy and Yacouba, escorted Gilmore, Lilian, Claire, and Christine out of the palace.

“Mr. Reed, and all of Mr. Reed’s companions, please take your time leaving,” Huston said to Gilmore and the ladies with utmost courtesy.

Gilmore replied, “Your Majesty, no need for formalities. Please, return to the palace and rest.”

Huston nodded and turned to Yacouba, saying, “Yacouba, please see Mr. Reed and the ladies out for me.”

-Yacouba saluted Huston and answered, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

Then, Yacouba escorted Gilmore and the group away from the royal palace.

As Gilmore’s figure receded, Amy’s eyes flickered with complex emotions.

She lowered her head, biting her lip, seemingly lost in thought.

Standing aside, Huston, about to return to his own palace quarters, suddenly noticed his daughter’s demeanor.

He couldn’t help but ask her, “Amy, what’s wrong? You seem a little down to me.”

Amy glanced at her father, her lips pressed tightly together, and gave a small nod.
