The First Heir

Fennel said solemnly, “Based on the current situation, the Lovelace family has dealings with several major sacred halls. I don’t think these sacred halls will let you make a move against them so easily. Moreover, this is an extraordinary period. Shane Lovelace is competing for the position of the new god. Once he succeeds, these sacred halls will gain even more benefits. So, in my opinion, they should step in and stop it. After all, this place is different from our country. Human relations are not important, only profits. Furthermore, although your Clarke family controls a huge chunk of the economy, the rest is in the hands of the West. Here, they’re the only kings, while the Clarke family’s power can hardly penetrate.”

After hearing Fennel out, Philip fell silent. He understood Fennel’s meaning. It would be difficult to make a move against the Lovelace family in the West. It was tantamount to threatening the interests of several sacred halls. To oppose the Lovelace family was to declare war against these sacred halls, and the consequences were self-evident!

Moreover, if that really happened and the rest of the sacred halls were also offended, it would not benefit Philip.

“Steven, what do you think?” Philip asked.

Steven thought for a moment and said, “Mr. Clarke, based on my judgment and personal opinion, what happened tonight was probably deliberately arranged by the Lovelace family. You should still remember what Miss Cleo said to us when she came over. I suspect they were trying to provoke you on purpose and agitate you into acting impulsively. As you said, if we had chosen to fight them head-on just now, we might have had a tough battle waiting for us. Moreover, Miss Johnston is still in their hands. If the situation worsens, her safety can’t be guaranteed.”

Philip nodded. Steven was right.

The incident tonight was probably planned by Cleo to trigger Philip. However, no matter what, he had to meet with Wynn alone.
