The choice of deciding who got to be in charge of the Larkinson Clan or the Living Mech Corporation was not a trivial matter. Either of them were incredibly influential to the lives of Ves and many other Larkinsons.
The right people in charge could lead them into prosperity while the wrong people could easily collapse everything that Ves had ever built!
Though Ves would have preferred to be in charge of everything, he was only one person and he did not wish to compromise his mech design career any further.
He had no choice but to embrace the necessary evil of trusting others to perform all of these jobs on his behalf.
Ves had no fundamental objection to raising Novilon Purnesse and Raymond Billingsley-Larkinson as two of the three chief ministers of the Larkinson Clan.
