The world continued to change as more years passed.
Shang kept being isolated from the world, only hearing some news from Jerald.
Jerald's jovial and polite demeanor had vanished to a large degree after even his son had died.
Around 60 years ago, Jerald had been friends with basically all the different Dukes, had been on good terms with the Council, had George as a close friend, and had a son.
He had been at the prime of his life, and he had even owned quite a lot of Zones.
Everything had been going great.
And then, over the next 60 years, everything he owned began to vanish slowly.
He still had his personal power and wealth, but that was about it.
He only had one Zone now.
He was enemies with the Council.
He was enemies with all the Dukes.
George was dead.
Mattheo was dead.
Some of his close subordinates were dead.
