Ves needed to make a lot of important decisions after his return. The day had just started and already more and more dossiers fell onto his desk.
His subordinates had already analyzed the pros and cons of many plans and favored many specific decisions. They just needed to check whether the patriarch of their clan approved of their initiatives.
Though Ves had already granted his chief ministers and other important leaders a lot of autonomy, what happened with Ark Larkinson was a warning of what might happen if no one kept these people in check.
For better or worse, Ves needed to take back some of the reins and exert more oversight over the people he empowered to make decisions for the clan.
This was not a trivial change. The clan had grown to the size of a small city-state up to this point. The sheer amount of departments that rose up during this time had become massive entities that spent thousands of MTA credits like running water.
