Now that Michael bought some of the necessary resources to fortify and expand his territory and used his remaining fortune to create the Awakened Agency, all he had to do was wait until the seedlings in the Agency would sprout and transform into potential future powerhouses.
Others might be worried about Lords stealing their seedlings, but Michael didn't mind. Not many Lords would be willing to get out of their way to turn someone who didn't fit their requirements into their subordinates.
Most Descendants wouldn't even bother to glance at the weaker Awakened whose Soultraits were of no use for their territories. Instead, the Descendants would focus on nourishing the strongest Awakened, who owned useful Soultraits and powerful Artifacts, but had been unfortunate to encounter even stronger enemies in the Origin Expanse.
