The First Heir

Steven smiled, nodded in response, and said, “I’d better call you Mr. Clarke.”

Philip was not bothered.

They stood at the entrance of the castle and watched the intoxicating pool party inside. Many prominent figures in the West were at the scene, mingling and chatting. Philip and the others also found a corner and sat down for the time being.

A waiter walked over and served them wine.

Philip looked at the frolicking crowd nearby, then asked Fennel and Steven in a low voice, “Is the private event tonight this pool party? Is the election of the gods such child’s play in the West?”

Without waiting for Fennel to speak, Steven explained, “Mr. Clarke, you’ve misunderstood. This is just an appetizer before the private party. The main event will come later. What you see now is just the prelude. The real big shots are usually inside.”

As Steven said that, he motioned with his eyes for Philip and Fennel to look at the second floor of the splendid castle.

Philip looked up. Indeed, he could see the huge open-air balcony on the second floor of the castle from here. Many dignitaries chatted and occasionally glanced at the partying crowd below.

“However, we have no internal invitation, so we can only take a look from here. Only the core guests of this private party can enter the second floor, including all the forces related to the Lovelace family.”

Steven made full use of his intelligence expertise and introduced several big shots to Philip and Fennel.

“The old man with gray hair is Hubert Marjorie, the president of a listed company with total assets amounting to 30 billion dollars. He manages the import and export business for the Lovelace family in the dark and sometimes smuggles weapons.”

Philip’s eyes fell on an old man with gray hair on the second floor. He looked plump and flushed as he sipped wine and chatted with a few women.

“That tall guy over there is Pete Faraday, the person in charge of liaison and main agent for the Lovelace family in Sendona. He has many abnormal forces in his hand and likes to come up with devious methods, but this person has greed for money and lust.”

Steven took a sip of his wine and said with a sneer, “Maybe you can start with him and get a lot of inside information about the Lovelace family.”
