---- Chapter 2153 Barnaby said, "The Phn family has stayed silent. As for the Driscoll family, they were unfortunate enough to be wiped out by him." Mateo gave a coldugh. "Destroying one family only proves he still has some conscience in him. But ruling Gabo Creek means nothing. One wealthy n from Chetvine could crush the entire province effortlessly. "So your news holds very little value, and that''s me being generous. If Mr. Cunningham Senior heard it, he would''ve dismissed it as garbage." Barnaby forced a dryugh. "Yes, of course. It''s only natural for someone like Mr.
Cunningham Senior to scoff at my meager intel. Mr. Parrish, from what I know, the Dragon Prince has already set out for Terror Town. From there, he will return to Chetvine." Mateo nodded. "Very well. The Cunningham family will remember this favor. That will be all. We won''t be seeing you out. He turned and walked away without sparing another nce at Barnaby. ---- Barnaby did not mind and even smiled as he left the Cunningham residence. He ordered the driver to head to the next destination, the Robertson family. The Cunningham family was not the only stop.<fn0d9d> Official source is find·novel</fn0d9d>
He nned to visit every major family and aristocratic house that might want to know about Andrew''s return to Chetvine. He would not let this golden opportunity to curry favor with these powerful families and aristocratic houses pass him by. He was confident that this information would give him the chance for further advancement. What Barnaby did not realize was that his actions today wereying the groundwork for his own downfall in the future.
Meanwhile, in a quiet courtyard inside the Cunningham residence, a man ina long robe stood beneath a grove, ying with a bird Mateo came hurrying over. Without turning around, the man remarked casually, "Your steps are somewhat frantic. That''s rare." Mateo bowed. "Mr. Cunningham Senior, there is trouble. The Lloyd family''s Dragon Prince is about to return to Chetvine." ---- The calm on Otto Cunningham''s face slowly disappeared until it was reced by cold indifference. "Why am I only hearing of this now?
Has our intelligencework all died off?" His tone was not heavy, but Mateo''s skin prickled, and his heart skipped. Otto was the head of the Cunningham family aristocratic house, a true martial emperor. He was the kind of person who could destroy anything with a mere wave of his hand. Mateo said carefully, "Mr. Cunningham Senior, the Dragon Prince has gone to Terror Town. It seems he intends to linger there beforeing to Chetvine, so we still have time to make arrangements." Otto waved his hand sharply. "I do not want to see him set foot in Chetvine!
He was lucky to survive back then, but this time, I want him dead." Mateo bowed low. "Understood. I will make the arrangements immediately." He then retreated quickly. Otto no longer had the mood to amuse himself with birds. He returned inside, sitting down with a stormy expression. "The Lloyd family royal line is already powerful enough! If he returns sessfully, the Lloyds will only grow stronger. "So why would I want to see the already arrogant Lloyd family ---- cultivate another towering tree? No, once this spawn of Reginald grows up, it won''t be as simple as just another towering tree!
He will be a pir that holds up the sky, a roadblock no one wishes to face. That is why he must die."<style>
