Semua Bab The First Heir: Bab 5201 - Bab 5210

Granite glanced at Noelle and Philip. Since they did not speak, he would not interfere either. Granite fumed in anger as he worked. The man who spoke felt a little embarrassed when he was ignored, but it quickly turned into anger. He had never been overlooked like this before. Even though he came here with his family to seek refuge, he would not let anyone look down on him. “I asked you a question. Are you deaf?” The man glanced around and finally focused on Granite. Granite looked like an attendant here and would definitely know where the shopkeeper was. “Tell your shopkeeper to come out. Don’t make me repeat myself. Of course, it’s a different question if you’re deaf or dumb.” He glared at Granite with murderous intent. Granite smiled and said, “Sir, you don’t sound local. It’s best if you don’t mess with the locals.” Although Granite did not recognize the other party, he knew the man was an outsider. The man laughed and said, “You should find out more about Vance Cod o

“Let’s go!” Vance shouted and left with his men. Philip sneered as they left. They were pretty strong but not as good as he thought. “Watch out for their retaliation,” Philip reminded Granite. Granite smiled and said, “Don’t you think I can't deal with that guy?” Granite was pretty confident about himself. With Philip’s help, he had improved by leaps and bounds. He was totally different from before. “I know you’re very confident in yourself, but it’s better to be prepared.” Philip could tell that Vance was not someone who would give up easily. As an outsider, he would never accept this indignity and would strive to make a name for himself. Granite was not very concerned about it, but he took Philip’s advice seriously. “Don’t worry, I’ll watch out. I won’t let him get me.” Philip reminded everyone to always be prepared for the worst. Even though they could get rid of the guards, what if the other party found more powerful helpers? Philip’s worries were not unfounded.

Vance was sullen and felt that Philip had hurt him. As a person of high ranking in Breeze City, Vance was not used to such humiliation. “I have to let him know that I’m a person of noble status while someone like him can only hope to remain a shopkeeper for the rest of his life!” No store ever dared to kick him out. Philip was the first. Jeff looked at Vance nervously, wondering why this store messed with Vance. Although he wanted to figure out how the conflict started, it was not the time to speak while they were out in public. Jeff noticed Vance’s air of superiority and sighed. “Do whatever you want, but you have to bear responsibility for your actions! I suggest that we divide our family property so that we can protect ourselves if something goes wrong," Jeff finally stated his thoughts and purpose. Everyone finally realized how important energy stones were after they encountered the beast stampede and were forced to flee from Breeze City. “I think we can consider your

Alton could always find something to help him decide. At this time, Alton was focused on connecting with people from Breeze City. The Cod family was quite big. Arriving here in one piece was enough to prove their strength. It was better than nothing. The gains would far outweigh the losses if Alton worked with them. Although Jeff was unhappy with Vance’s actions, he chose to help Vance for the sake of the family’s interests. Since the family wanted to gain a foothold in the city, they had to make a name for themselves. The simplest method was to mess with Treasure House. Vance and his men only had a grudge against Treasure House since they arrived, so they decided to target the other party. Alton happily received Jeff, who was the sole representative. “Indeed, I've heard of the Cod family. You have a good reputation, and you have good financial standing to back you up,” Alton said with envy. To be honest, he was truly jealous of such a wealthy family. Although he held a high po

Vance roared in anger and dissatisfaction. “Hey, don't say that. He’s doing all the errands. We need someone like him to do that. Your grandpa took him in just for that reason, so don’t take it to heart!” Emma’s explanation was very shocking, and everyone stared at her in angry disbelief. They preferred Jeff, who was always fair and hardworking, compared to the arrogant and domineering Vance. Jeff returned to the inn at that moment and heard everything clearly. Emma’s words left his heart cold. Indeed, he was an adopted child. He knew that he was different from others, so he had always worked hard and tread carefully to make a living in the family. He did not know these people looked down upon him so much. Jeff was upset but showed no signs of it. Vance’s mother, Emma, held all the family’s finances in her hand now. He had to please her to get the money. In turbulent times, they had to have money in hand. Jeff quickly came up with a plan to deal with these people. When
