Lucien's response was unexpected since he didn't think Lucien will refuse. Not only was Lucien lacking since he had no backing but he has also made powerful enemies from various noble families today and that's aside from the Raizen clan. In his mind, Lucien would feel elated and happy to jump at his offer but that's not what happened.
The Lucardo family head couldn't help but give Lucien another meaningful glance and only then did he see the confident smile on his face. It was like Lucien was silently telling him something! Something like;
'You don't have to worry, I can take care of myself'
"I am truly grateful for your offer and I will never forget your kindness and sincerity towards me… For the sake of my relationship with your grandson, I hope we can build a strong relationship after I take over the Raizen47 clan in no distant future" Lucien said with a face void of any form of emotion.
