"Ma'am Flora. We've received the information." A middle-aged man wearing a formal suit placed down a document. "According to our information, The British Royal Family has finally found the person they've been looking for this whole time.
"It seems that this person can increase one's Skill Rank. We don't have many details right now, but we have confirmed his ability."
"Is that so?" She narrowed her eyes and looked at the document. "It seems he can only upgrade the skills to B Rank, not more."
"That's what we believe too, but according to some information, the royal family has been contacting other influences about ranking up their Skill to A Rank. There is also a more unbelievable rumor. It's said that he can upgrade a skill to S Rank, but we don't have any proof of that right now."
"Upgrading skill to S Rank?"
"Yes. The rumor said he has upgraded someone's skill to S Rank."
"Who is that person?"
"She is currently working as her bodyguard."
"Give me the details of that person."
The middle-aged man immediately took out his Skylink and showed the data. Although it wasn't reported because the rumor was still too vague, he had prepared for this.

At a glance, she seemed to understand the reason why she became the bodyguard.
"The rumor is most likely true." Flora Wegener squinted her eyes and said, "It seems that England is planning to bind him with the Royal Family. I will give you three days to investigate her. We have to make a move immediately so that the Royal Family can't monopolize him. I'll also check his ability.
"Hmm, it's said that he can only upgrade a single person once, right? If that's the case, bring me all the Skill Cards we have."
"Are you sure about this? The chance is low…" The middle-aged man worried that she would be tricked.
"I know what to do. For now, prepare everything and we'll see who can fight against me."
"I understand."
…
However, she wasn't the only one who received the information. Every influence within the union received similar information. They were shocked because of the importance of this man, considering he could rank up a skill to A Rank or even S Rank. The boost coming from those skills was beyond B Rank Skill or lower. That was why they were prepared to fork out money to come to an agreement.
Still, Flora's movement was monitored closely. Her influence as the strongest person in the EU Base was enormous, so her making a move would pique everyone's interest, thinking they could use their connection to board the same plane as Flora, ensuring their safety as well as upgrading their skills.
This was the opportunity they had been looking for.
Of course, they would also contact the royal family since they had to get approval to rank up their skills. All people immediately started working behind the scenes so that they could get the favor of the Royal Family, allowing them to give that favor to Flora to make Flora owe them a bit.
This sudden movement steered the whole union.
And the Lexon Group, the competitor of the royal family, was panicking.
"Bastard!" The head of the Lexon Group, Alexej Nixon, slammed the table while gritting his teeth. He raised his head and glared at his son, Ricky Nixon. "What's the progress of your work?"
"I have managed to convince the Empress a bit by bit."
"You're too slow!" Alexej roared.
"I can only do my best. But I can't make it faster because the young master doesn't want to get her that fast." Ricky shook his head.

Even the Griffith Family might go there to test it. Without those two, we won't be able to turn around the situation even with the Empress!"
"But there's no way to convince them like this. Even if we create a rumor to make the information unreliable, the fact has been spread around." Ricky sighed.
"That's because you're an idiot that you can't think of something." Alexej gritted his teeth, looking down on Ricky.
He wanted to keep shouting to relieve his anger, but shouting only wasted his time. He had to think of a solution to handle this situation.
Suddenly, Ricky raised his hand and asked, "What if we killed that guy?"
"Killed that guy?"
"Yes. There is a difference between the Empress and that guy. The Empress is not easy to kill, while this guy can be killed as long as we push away his bodyguard. That's why we'll also sneak in and kill them."
"There won't be anyone that will help us. Even the Royal Family won't accept us."
"No. How about we use something we have?!" Ricky smirked. "We have those refugees here."
"!!!" Alexej suddenly fell silent, realizing Ricky's intention. He immediately ordered, "Tell that bastard Yermolayev that I can grant him real status for his family as long as he assassinates him."
"I understand." Ricky agreed without hesitation. "But how do we get the chance to go there? The refugees don't have enough standing to even request to upgrade their skills."
"I'll ask the Griffith Family for it. It's time for them to repay me for helping them spread those fake videos." Alexej gritted his teeth in anger.
Ricky's expression became cold for a split second before lowering his head. "I understand. I'll make sure Yermolayev accepts it."
"Go!" Alexej snorted and took out his Skylink to call the Griffith Family. He was sure that they were going to accept it because he would spread the truth about the video if they didn't help him this time.
Meanwhile, Ricky left the room and walked through the corridor. His expression became extremely cold as if he was about to murder someone.
