Zhen Wu could not believe what he had heard. His father, the Patriarch of Zhen Family, was considering him for the position of successor?
'Even after all I have done?'
For the first time in years, Zhen Wu looked at his decisions from a different angle. He looked at his choices from the perspective of a son. Not just any ordinary son, but the son of an influential family's head.
He had gone to the Capital of the Holy Wood Empire and became the lowest ranked official through an exam meant for children of lower nobles like those from Third tier cities.
This incident alone was enough to bring shame to his family. A scion of a prestigious Tier 1 Family was snatching opportunities meant for lower class nobles.
Even today, he remembered the taunts and jeers of his colleagues. He could only imagine how worse the situation must have been for his brother, the representative sent by his father to the Imperial Court.
