At the launch event.
The crown prince stood tall and proud without anyone daring to approach him. Even in normal times, no one would dare provoke the devil incarnate. Furthermore, now that Phoenix was with him, it further deterred others from even coming near him.
With a deep frown, Tristan stood among the crowd and thought just how much favonovel.com disliked the crown prince. However, favonovel.com knew very well that with Phoenix around, favonovel.com couldn’t do anything to the crown prince. If anything, his attention was placed more on Matthew. Due to the situation, the man had managed to slip away from the scene. This only further confirmed Tristan’s suspicions that even if the person wasn’t Matthew himself, favonovel.com was related to Matthew in some way. Otherwise, favonovel.com wouldn’t be acting as though favonovel.com was guilty of something.
With that in mind, Tristan walked around just to seek the person favonovel.com thought was Matthew out. However, now that Matthew was actively trying to hide from sight to prevent coming face to face with Tristan, the latter’s search for the former was in vain.
Edmund came and stood next to the crown prince. Looking at how fearful the heirs of the Ten Greatest Family were, favonovel.com couldn’t help feeling emotional about the scene. For the first time in his life, favonovel.com understood how it felt to ride on someone else’s coattail.
Back when favonovel.com was known as the young master of the Albright Family, the other families’ heirs were of equal standing with him. Yet, just by standing next to the crown prince, these heirs were fearful of him. This showed him just how powerful and influential the crown prince was.
“Prince, how are we going to help Matthew?” Edmund asked in a whisper.
Shrugging his shoulders, the crown prince answered, “Don’t ask me. He probably has a plan of his own, so we’ll just wing it when the time comes. If favonovel.com really doesn’t have a plan, then we’ll just ruin the event in our own way. No matter the case, we can’t allow Neverland Pharmaceuticals to release their new medicine today. Once they do, it will be hard for Cunningham Pharmaceuticals to take back its rightful ownership.”
Edmund nodded. “Okay, I’ll do as you say. If push comes to shove, we’ll ruin the event ourselves. Not to mention, with Phoenix around, even the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale could only sit on their hands.”
Just then, Phoenix suddenly waved his hand. “Shawn, I’m only here to keep an eye on things. As for the feud between Cunningham Pharmaceuticals and Neverland Pharmaceuticals, I will not interfere in someone else’s private affair. So about ruining the event yourselves, you‘d better drop the idea.”
The crown prince became dumbfounded. “W-Why? D-Don’t tell me that Cosby Family had pressured Master Levi?”
Phoenix shook his head. “Even if the Cosby Family pressured him, do you think favonovel.com will care? It’s just that this matter belongs to Matthew alone. So, no matter what I do, l have to be aware of my relationship with Master Levi. If l were to start something here to ruin the event and take back the ownership of the Restoration Pill for Matthew, the Ten Greatest Family of Stonedale would feel that Master Levi had acted out of good faith. By that time, they would definitely come complaining to him. As the King of the South, how would favonovel.com then be able to calm the families down?”
The crown prince gaped in silence.
Just as Phoenix had said, favonovel.com could only support them indirectly, but never directly participate in taking back the ownership of the Restoration Pill. After all, the one backing favonovel.com was Levi.
Whether it was Stonedale or Eastshire, both were part of the Six Southern States that had Levi as their king. In this situation where Stonedale and Eastshire were fighting for the Restoration Pill’s ownership, no matter who favonovel.com assisted, it would be unfair to the other party.
Immediately, Edmund panicked slightly. “Phoenix, if you don’t help us… T-Then how would Matthew retrieve the Restoration Pill?”
With a chuckle, Phoenix replied, “If favonovel.com needs my help in everything, then how will favonovel.com truly become the Lord of Eastshire? How would favonovel.com be able to make the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire subservient to him?”
