The First Heir

So that was the case. Philip nodded silently.

Marquis Fulmore returned the token to Philip and said gravely, “Although Emperor Kai’s Token isn’t as good as the Human Emperor’s Token, to a certain degree, its usage is the same. The splendor of the First Emperor still commands awe. Even someone like Emperor Kai wouldn’t dare to call himself the Human Emperor, so you can imagine what a supreme presence it is…”

“Kid, I never expect that you’d be acknowledged by the Human Emperor as his successor. Do your best. This world will eventually be handed over to the younger generation as you.”

While saying that, Marquis Fulmore patted Philip on his shoulder, putting all his hopes and ambition on him.

The world belonged to the younger generation, after all. Old people like them could only do their best to clear the obstacles for these young people of the future.

Philip nodded and said, “Thanks for your clarification, Marquis Fulmore.”

Marquis Fulmore smiled and said, “Have a good rest. I’ll be going back too. Come to me if you face any problems, but I still want to remind you not to act on your own in Cochly Mountain. I’ll find time to take you to the stargate.”

With that said, Marquis Fulmore left.
