Chapter 2742 The Elder Council

"You've done an admirable job in this matter!"

Mayson Durham lifted his teacup, gently blowing on the white mist rising from the steeping leaves. Throughout their conversation, he hadn't spared Solon a single glance.

Hearing Mayson's praise, Solon couldn't help but feel a surge of delight. "I merely made a modest contribution to the Durham Family."

Upon hearing this, Mayson offered a smile.

"Excellent work. You've shown great insight and humility. You're a promising talent. If our family had more descendants like you, the Durham Family would have long since dominated Seraphis."

Such commendation filled Solon with a sense of pride. It signified that he was superior to his family peers. However, Mayson's next words caused him to tense up.

"I've heard you've established a good rapport with Matthew. Not only did you collaborate to handle Sahil, but you also shared the underwater treasures that were unearthed with him. Matthew is a talented young man, and maintaining a good relationship with him could benefit the Durham Family."

Solon looked at the amiable smile on Mayson's face, and a chill ran down his spine.
