“He’s Nelly Tanner’s eldest uncle on her father’s side and has a say in the Tanners,” Robert reported honestly. “But he isn’t built for business and prefers playing with authority and power, so he stays in the University of Centrolis’ board of trustees.”

“Mm.” Zephyr was indifferent with a deep gaze.

“From my investigation…” Robert paused before he said, “Murphy’s a sly fox. Even though Nelly is his niece, he leaves himself a way out.”

This meant that if Murphy had the chance and wanted to do Zephyr a favor, he would not keep these benefits for Nelly.

Zephyr smirked. An outsider feared a strong united family. One would not be able to penetrate, no matter what. Since the Tanners were not that, it would be much easier for him to work with!

“Sir.” Robert looked out and chortled. “The fox’s here!”

Zephyr adjusted his collars and crossed his long legs at the table. “Let him in.”

Robert brought Murphy into the room and nodded politely before he left.

Murphy looked at Zephyr. In terms of age, he was an elder, but he still had to put on his best behavior in front of the latter.

The man’s presence was that powerful. Just his eyes were sharp like blades and could cut someone open at any time.

Murphy looked around and praised. “Mr. Zephyr, you have great taste. This private club looks pretty low-profile, but one piece of antique ornament is already super valuable!”

“You’re flattering me, Mr. Tanner.” Zephyr’s tone was flat. “I’ll be direct. I’m meeting you today because I need your help with something.”

Murphy blinked and pressed his lips together, knowing what it was.

“Hah, Mr. Zephyr, no need for pleasantries. Just let me know what you’d like me to do.”

Zephyr narrowed his eyes and fixed them on him. His deep voice was nonchalant. “You know what it is, Mr. Tanner?”

“Well…”

Zephyr chuckled. “To be honest, it’s for a student named Carter Irwin.

“I heard that the school’s board of trustees unanimously decided to cancel his admission because he’s too young?” Zephyr’s icy eyes were trained on Murphy. “This is a first in the history of the University of Centrolis, huh?”

Nelly’s gaze flickered with viciousness when she saw Cordelia. She looked natural again swiftly and approached them with a smile, greeting openly, “Mr. Z!”

Cordelia’s heart squeezed, and she looked at Zephyr instinctively. A woman’s sixth sense was always sharp.

“Heh, Mr. Z!” Nelly stood before them and scanned Cordelia. “This is Ms. Jenner?”
