A sorcerer? I am a Warhammer psyker.

Goodness, I finally understand now.

This old man is going to take away one of the two remaining fresh bok choy from the Isayama family, pot and all.

Isayama Naraku felt a bit like his computer had crashed; this was all too sudden.

How come, out of nowhere, his child suddenly became the heir to such a large family?

As previously mentioned, both out of sentiment and reason, Kenmei Isayama had to visit his uncle's house, since the matter of him being the next head of the Kamo family seems to have blown up too much.

The entire world of sorcery was in an uproar, as if a pot had exploded. If he hadn't given prior notice, it might have hurt people's feelings, so Kenmei Isayama had to go there in person.

As for the accompanying personnel, the most useful tool was naturally the powerful figure in the Kamo family, the eldest elder, Kenichiro Kamo.

As the Grand Elder, he should be able to help Kenmei Isayama explain things more clearly.

"Mr. Kamo, are you saying that Kenmei will become the next head of the Kamo family?"

Isayama Naraku took a sip of tea. Although he concealed it well, the slight ripples on the surface of the teacup revealed his inner turmoil.

He had already overestimated his nephew enough, but in the end he still underestimated him.

As he spoke, Isayama Naraku glanced at his nephew without making a sound.

Can't you be a little more discreet, you little rascal?

It now seems that the small Isayama family can no longer accommodate this "great Buddha".

According to Isayama Naraku's original plan, he would let his nephew and Yomi inherit the family business when they were older.

With two powerful first-level sorcerers supporting them, the Isayama family will at least not be destroyed before Isayama Naraku passes away completely.

He originally thought that Xiaoming possessed both the bloodlines of the Isayama and Kamo families, but the bloodlines of both families did not manifest later.

If we're lucky, it might manifest in Xiao Ming's offspring.

With Isayama Naraku personally guiding his grandson, he will surely be able to cultivate a super-grade sorcerer who surpasses even a first-class sorcerer.

Isayama Naraku's face stiffened, but if Isayama Kenmei were to become the next head of the Kamo family, all these plans made in advance would have to be abandoned.

My grandson and granddaughter.

Isayama Naraku's elaborate scheme ultimately came to nothing.

There's no way around it, the child is just too outstanding.

Isayama Naraku sighed inwardly.

So outstanding that it completely disrupted his plans.

It's impossible to say that such a shining pearl has been taken away and that we can't accept it.

But Isayama Naraku surely knew the principle that people strive for higher positions and water flows downhill.

The deaths of his younger siblings had made Isayama Naraku accept that it was all fate; without great strength, one cannot even resist one's own destiny and can only leave the stage prematurely. Moreover, Kenmei did not go to the Kamo family to suffer humiliation, but was groomed to be the next head of the family.

Therefore, better development opportunities can allow Kenmei Isayama to obtain better resources, better education, and greater power.

As an elder, how could I hinder his progress?

Kenmei Isayama was a very ambitious child, and he has achieved great things.

This step in their family's history is no accident; how could their prodigy not be outstanding?

Noticing his uncle's gaze, Kenmei Isayama smiled sheepishly.

Isayama Naraku sighed.

Why is this kid so noisy every day? The commotion is getting bigger and bigger each time.

Last time, he was commended by the Spellcaster Association for killing a top-tier cursed spirit, and the news was reported throughout the entire spellcasting community.

This time, he has become the next head of the Kamo family, one of the three major families in the world of sorcery. When the news reaches Isayama Naraku's ears next, will this kid become the second special-grade sorcerer in the history of the Sorcery Association?

Every single day, whose heart can take it?

If Kenmei Isayama knew what Naraku Isayama was thinking, he would definitely say, "As expected, Uncle understands me best."

Kenjiro Isayama pondered that if he were to sideline the entire Spellcaster Association, wouldn't he become the overseer of all spellcasters?

However, it's pretty much the same. The elders of the Kamo family are basically representatives of the moderate faction of the Spellcaster Association, standing in opposition to the radical faction led by the Zenin family.

It's like half of the higher-ups in the Spellcaster Association are his people. Imagine if someone tried to use the Spellcaster Association to pressure Kenmei Isayama.

At that time, Kenmei Isayama will just say one thing.

"Who here is accusing this official?" There shouldn't be any problem with that.

"Yes, Mr. Naraku."

Kenichiro Kamo replied

"Just call me Kenichiro, no need to be so formal."

"I only have one question, Mr. Kamo."

Ignoring his polite words, Isayama Naraku looked intently at Kamo Kenichiro.

I will make a judgment based on the quality of your response.

"Otherwise, as Kenmei Isayama's guardian, I would not entrust him to you in order to fulfill this responsibility."

"uncle."

“Mr. Naraku, you can ask me any questions you have, and I will do my best to help you.”

Kenichiro Kamo nodded in understanding.

"Because you've already scrapped the decision once, and the next leader has already made a decision, I find it hard to believe you won't consider doing it a second time."

The decision of a family to take over the leadership is extremely important and has never been overturned, unless another family destroys this family and a new family head must be selected under control.

But how could this happen to the Kamo family? It could only mean that there was a serious conflict between factions within the management.

Isayama Naraku probably thought that someone was unwilling to relinquish the power held by this eldest elder, who was at the height of his influence in the Kamo family.

Using the pretext of purging corrupt officials from the court before the next leader takes over, they denounce the Grand Elder.

The result was obvious: the reformists lost, and along with them, the Kamo family's intended successor as head of the clan was deposed.

"So what I want you to guarantee is very simple."

Isayama Naraku looked directly into Kamo Kenichiro's eyes; any falsehood would not pass muster with him.

"Can you guarantee that Xianming won't become a victim in your family's power struggles, just like Kamo Noriyuki, the son of your former family patriarch?"

Having a criminal record is hard to believe.

What if Kenmei Isayama is merely a scapegoat pushed out by someone in the Kamo family (the person in front of us) to be the target of everyone's criticism, while he himself remains hidden behind the scenes?

When the time comes, the tree that stands out in the wind will surely be felled.

Isayama Naraku had experienced the Isayama family's heyday, but due to internal family struggles, each branch suffered irreversible damage, the family declined, and ultimately the entire family's strength decreased significantly and collapsed.

Therefore, Isayama Kenmei Naraku absolutely did not want this kind of thing to happen to Isayama Kenmei, but the probability of this kind of thing happening in the future is not low.

Therefore, it is essential to obtain a guarantee!

In Isayama Naraku's words here, "guarantee" refers to making a vow, which is a kind of magical agreement protected by rules.

It's like a constraint, preventing any violation of the agreement signed by both parties.

If either party violates this rule, they will suffer irreversible damage. Being seriously injured is the least of their worries; in severe cases, it can endanger their lives and even cause them to lose all their magical power.

Sometimes it occurs in the torso of the body

Mutation and bad luck are both random punishments for violating this binding oath.

This is where Isayama Naraku's bottom line lies; he no longer wants to lose his family.

Even when confronting the most powerful figures of the three major families in the world of sorcery, they would not yield an inch.

"uncle."

Kenmei Isayama silently muttered to himself, his feelings quite complicated.

He sighed.

They were actually willing to go to this lengths for me.

I was afraid that I would fall for their sweet talk and agree to become the heir to a large family without even thinking about it.

You've really gone to a lot of trouble.

However, Kenmei Isayama did not intend to have his uncle establish a bond with the puppet he controlled, that is, a powerful verbal oath.

Although signing a binding agreement will not cause any damage, the bond of an oath is binding on both parties.

The longer the duration, the greater the physical strain on the practitioner. It is very uncomfortable, and Kenmei Isayama's uncle is old and cannot withstand such torment.

With this in mind, Kenmei Isayama laid his cards on the table.

"Uncle, don't worry."

"Actually, most of the senior executives in the Kamo family are my people."

Kenmei Isayama was absolutely right. Aside from those who were away on business trips or abroad that day, all the high-ranking members of the Kamo family had become his subordinates.

"There is one thing I need to clarify: the Kamo family did indeed experience internal strife during this incident."

"But this internal strife that swept through the entire family was not instigated by insiders, but was directly led by me, who suppressed all dissent."

Isayama Kenmei's words gradually caused Isayama Naraku and Isayama Yomi to widen their eyes.

They thought of asking Kenichiro Kamo for confirmation, but they witnessed him tacitly approving.

"It's not that they begged me to be their clan leader, but that I am the only one who can be the next clan leader!"

"I took over the entire management of the Kamo family, and I also crushed the younger generation."

"I am undoubtedly the strongest, so there is no need to worry about my safety."

"There will be no enemies within the family I rule, and the Kamo family will never fight amongst themselves again. I'm telling you."

“Uncle, you can rest assured. The Kamo family is just a temporary stepping stone for me. I will always remember what you told me to do to revitalize the Isayama family.”

"So don't worry about me. My original intention hasn't changed."

Kenmei Isayama briefly mentioned it, hoping his uncle would understand.
