Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave novel Chapter 295

Throughout the Eastern Region, no one at the Illuminating Soul Realm would subject themselves to taking direction from anyone who was not an influential master.

There was a rich merchant of G County, and he could afford to employ several nature creatures as his personal bodyguards, which was rare for a man of his station. However, it was pure fantasy to think he could hire any of the masters in the Illuminating Soul Realm.

Still, the members of the Zhang Clan could.

The Zhang Clan employed multiple Illuminating Soul Realm masters.

These masters of the Illuminating Soul Realm willingly remained in the employ of the Zhang Clan to assist with the clan at critical times because they valued the connections along with the resources that the Zhang Clan possessed.

More importantly though, since the Zhang Clan financially supported those same masters of the Illuminating Soul Realm while they were growing up, they served loyally.

This was the biggest reason the masters of the Illuminating Soul Realm remained with the clan.

As the third son in the Zhang Clan, Wurth was raised in the environment which gave him a natural sensitivity to this aspect of how things were.

In Wurth's opinion, if Zen managed to defy the odds and gain entry into the Illuminating Soul Realm someday, his strength would rival any official at the Zhang Clan.

Therefore, Wurth wanted to invest in Zen.

He didn't invest money though because Zen wasn't lacking in that department, even going so far as to commission Wurth in the auctioning of heavenly essence which would in turn earn Wurth some money.

No, Zen had no need of Wurth's money, so, instead, Wurth invested his time, companionship in the form of building a friendship with Zen.

He knew how much Zen valued sentiment, friendship and respect above all other things, and although sometimes Zen would react emotionally, it was evident that he cared about his friends and brothers around him more than others.

For this reason alone Wurth was willing to help Nory and didn't consider the cost immediately.

Even if he put that aspect aside, Wurth would be involved because he viewed Zen and others as his brothers.

He was dwelling on that information, when a group of men and women entered.

A busy servant saw the group as they came in and stopped what he was doing to rush over to them. He nodded as he bowed and greeted them warmly, "Hello, Young Master Yates, welcome back. Please, have a seat here. This table was specially arranged for you and your guests."

While he spoke, several other servants hurried to set the chairs and table in order. They laid a soft napped tablecloth over the table before laying out fruit and snacks on it.

Young Master Yates smiled, graciously inviting his friends to sit down.
