The First Heir Chapter 5261
Everyone was finally safe. Lance and his men returned to Imperial City to resume their duties. They were stuffed to the brim, and their strength had improved by leaps and bounds. Lance saw the emperor and told him all the things he had made up. He and his people had agreed on the same story. Since everyone had a share of that delicious beast meat, they had to do something as repayment. Lance took Philip's actions as his own and took all the credit. Although Lance only met Philip once, he knew that Philip did not care for merit. Since the other party wanted to conceal his identity, Lance had to shoulder this responsibility. However, Lance felt uncertain when describing the incident. Philip was so powerful that Lance was not sure if he could replicate it. However, the emperor did not know what Lance was capable of, so Lance was not afraid of exposing himself. As the youngest and most promising commander, he simply had to play the part. “So, that’s what happened. We took c

Lance angrily rebuked Fernand. He wanted to have a good conversation but lost the desire to speak at the sight of Fernand’s appalling face. He just wanted to curse at him. Fernand scowled at Lance’s outspoken words and arrogant attitude. This brat dared to challenge him! “Such audacity. I think everything’s just a coincidence. You didn’t do anything that great, so stop putting on airs!” The two of them argued in front of the emperor, neither one backing down. “That’s enough. Everyone has worked hard, so let’s put this aside. I’ll compensate you for it.” The emperor could not figure out the situation, but he could not condone this racket either. Thus, he glossed things over and ended the argument. Lance bowed in dissatisfaction and left. He did not have a good impression of Fernand and loathed staying in the same room with him. “Only a loser will shoot his mouth away without the facts,” Lance muttered as he passed by Fernand. Fernand was angry, but he knew that he was no

“Collect the beasts for now. The fur and hide won’t be worth much, but the meat should be tender and delicious, am I right?” the emperor asked curiously. As far as he knew, most beast meat had an average taste. The meat was tough and not something he preferred, so the emperor rarely ate beast meat. However, the emperor had never seen the beasts that attacked them this time, so he was curious and eager to have a taste. “Don’t worry, leave it to me!” Fernand patted his chest, confident that he could handle it. “It doesn’t matter if we can't get any money, but our strength will greatly improve after we eat the meat of a beast,” Fernand said with a smile. He was speaking from his own experience over the years. The emperor was very interested. He summoned his people to gather the edible meat and bring it back to his palace after cutting it into pieces. He did not want others to know about it. Otherwise, everyone would disturb him during mealtimes. Fernand was expectant.As

“Let’s see what an unworthy prime minister can do to me!” Fernand was very confident. He knew that although the prime minister’s position and power were higher than his, after what happened with the recent beast invasion, his status would soar beyond anyone’s imagination. Many people opposed the deportation of refugees, and Fernand took this opportunity to overthrow many loyal officials. Fernand was simply carrying out the emperor’s orders, but he took advantage of this limelight to spread the news about the officials’ actions, including how they disobeyed the royal decree and kept the refugees in captivity at home. He also spread the word about how their private aid and assistance to refugees had greatly affected Fernand’s work of deporting them. In a nutshell, he made the issue more serious than it was. The emperor could not accept anyone disobeying his orders. No ruler in the world could tolerate this, so even though the officials were loyal, they were ostracized. The

When Alton returned to the room, Jeff had been waiting for him. Seeing Alton, Jeff stood up respectfully and greeted him. As the mayor, Alton was full of arrogance. He looked at Jeff in disdain and said unhappily, “I didn’t expect to see you. Just speak your mind and stop wasting my time.” He wanted to take this opportunity to get something from the Cod family. Now that the Cod family had taken root in Cosmo City, it would not be that easy for them to leave. He would not let them leave without giving him anything in return. “The Cod family is in a critical situation right now, so I’d like to seek your help,” Jeff pretended to plead with Alton. Jeff seemed very anxious about getting Alton to save the Cod family, but in fact, he was very calm and even thinking of taking a nap. Since he bought the storage ring from Philip, he had been full of confidence. Every time he passed Treasure House, he would bow in worship. Jeff knew that Philip was not afraid of the Cod family or

Although Philip mentioned before that he would auction some things, it never happened, so everyone gradually lost interest. Now that the door was open, Jeff did not make a commotion but ran over and looked inside expectantly. He saw Aslan busy at work and Philip instructing him. Although Jeff did not recognize Aslan, he knew Philip! “Shopkeeper, are you open for business? I’ve been waiting for ages!” Jeff said excitedly. Philip recognized this man who had bought a storage ring previously. He observed Jeff and found that his demeanor had changed. This guy looked very dejected when Philip first met him, but he was in high spirits now. More importantly, Jeff’s luck seemed different. “It’s been a while. You look a lot better,” Philip said in delight. He could tell that Jeff was a nice person. “Yeah, it’s been a while. I’m doing very well now. Are you open for business? Can I buy something?” Jeff could not put the storage ring out of his mind. The ring had helped him a lot

In summary, all the missing money was Vance’s fault, and Jeff, the real perpetrator, had nothing to do with it. “Your son is so smart that he squandered all the family’s money!” “Tell us how you spent the money! How did you spend so much money in two weeks?” “If you refuse to tell us, we’ll kick you out!” The Cod family members shouted angrily, certain that Vance was the thief. Vance was about to curse these unreasonable people when he recalled that his bodyguards were no longer around. To save money, they fired all the bodyguards. He had to think twice before doing anything now. He and his mother were two people against more than a dozen on the opposite side. The other party looked aggressive and ready to kill. After much deliberation, Vance had no choice but to contain his anger. “You guys are so annoying!” Vance grumbled under his breath, not daring to speak out loud. He knew that he would be dead if he offended them. “I spent the money to buy things from Philip!”

Vance stared at Jeff, shocked to hear this remark from him. “Jeff, you son of a bitch! How dare you speak to me like that?! You have no right to meddle in the Cod family’s affairs! You’re nothing but a slave!” The more Vance cursed, the happier Jeff felt.… While the Cod family was in chaos, Philip welcomed a mysterious guest, who was none other than Niffler. He went to Comet City, but his trip was ruined because of the beasts. Now that the incident was over, Niffler returned to Cosmo City, but Scarlet was nowhere to be found. He doubted Scarlet chose to run away and blamed everything on the mayor. He had heard some rumors in the past two days about a charming woman by the mayor’s side. Niffler thought the mayor took Scarlet because of her beauty. “Do you want to make a deal with me?” Niffler was dressed in black and stood in a dark corner staring at Philip. Philip was amused by his attempt to look mysterious. When Niffler first flipped over the wall and into the yard,
