After Ves concluded his confidential talk with Saint Commander Casella Ingvar, he did not hesitate to give her full support to enact her master plan.
He granted her broad access to the Larkinson Clan's funds. He also gave her authority to act on his behalf, enabling her to override the orders of any other Larkinson official.
In a time of blood and war, bureaucracy would only get in the way.
There were periods where stuff needed to be done properly, and there were other periods where people had to achieve results quickly.
The current circumstances clearly called for the latter.
Of course, Ves was not completely stupid. Even if he was pretty sure that the Saint Commander had become a committed confidante, he still assigned Gavin to make sure that people monitored her activities.
The Saint Commander went to work right away.
