When Karon entered the study, his eyes first swept over the painting of Earl Rekar, who held a queen of Veyn in his arms. He deliberately ignored the painting of black cat and settled into the chair behind the desk that stood beneath the painting of the founder of the Allen family.
One by one, Bede spread the documents out in front of Karon, and then stood to the side like a secretary.
Master Anderson sat down across from Karon, both hands resting on his cane, his expression humble and gentle.
Mike remained in his wheelchair. Karon found it a bit uncomfortable to look at the man, due to the fact that the red cane marks on his face were uneven.
“Breakfast will be sent up shortly, Young Master Karon,” Bede informed him.
Karon nodded, and then turned to the pile of documents spread out before him. Rather helplessly, he asked, “Is there some kind of summarized overview?”
With everything before him, who knew how long it might take for him to read it all.
“There is. I have already prepared it for you,” Bede said as he opened the blue folder he had placed at the very center and moved it closer to Karon.
“Good. Then, Mr. Bede, you should sit as well.”
“No, I prefer standing.”
Karon glanced at Bede. The seat Karon was occupying should have belonged to the other man, and yet there was no jealousy or anger to be seen in Bede’s eyes. Instead, there was something that looked similar to relief.
It was only due to the incidents involving both of the man’s elder brothers that had clearly forced the man into the position of patriarch. For someone who considered himself an artist to his core, it must have been genuine torment.
Karon lowered his head and began reviewing the documents.
The summary was a statement of the Allen family’s assets. Bede had clearly taken into account that Karon was not a professional in the field and had written the summary in a way that was easy for him to read.
In just York City, the Allen family outright owned twelve apartment buildings.
Karon went back to look again, and confirmed that, yes, it was twelve buildings, not twelve units.
