The First Heir
âI got it. â
Shane nodded in response and said, âHow are the preparations for the god election going?â
Cleo replied, âDonât worry, Iâm taking care of it.â

Back at Fennelâs private manor, Philip, Fennel, and Steven sat together.
Fennelâs face was grim as he asked, âWhat do you plan to do?â
Philip was silent as he looked at the intelligence sent by Steven. After a while, he said to Steven, âI
need more information about the Lovelace family in the West. We can negotiate the price.â
Steven frowned and said, âMr. Clarke, itâs not that I donât want to help you, but my authority is limited.
The authority lies with my father. I need to ask him about this.â
Philip nodded. Steven quickly got up, walked aside, and made a call.
âFather, this is Steven. Iâm with Mr. Clarke now. He needs more information about the Lovelace family,â
Steven said respectfully to the person on the other end of the line.
A stern voice rang out. âSteven, you should know that any information comes with a corresponding
price. Mr. Clarke has not met our previous conditions, so the Smith family will not provide any more
information.â
âFather, Mr. Clarke is my friend. Can you be more flexible? This is also an opportunity for our Smith
family to befriend the Clarkes. Do you want to pass up this opportunity?â Steven asked.
There was silence on the other end of the line, then the sound of tapping on the table. After a while, the
person on the other end of the phone replied, âSteven, you have to remember that youâre the one who
did this. You didnât receive my consent. Do you understand? Iâm not the only person with the final say in
the Smith family.â
âI understand.â Steven immediately understood his fatherâs meaning.
After ending the call, Steven quickly received the encrypted information. All intelligence was embossed
with the Smith familyâs crest on the cover.
âMr. Clarke, this is the information you want. Iâm now a sinner of the Smith family.â Steven hurried over,
transmitted the information to the iPad, and handed it to Philip.
Philip glanced at it and said, âSteven, donât worry. Youâre my friend. Iâll help you.â
After saying that, Philip did not hesitate. The three of them read the information about the Lovelace
family in the West. After reading it, they had a general understanding of the Lovelace familyâs sphere of
influence in the West.
Fennel said grimly, âI didnât expect the Lovelace familyâs power in the West to actually be hidden so
deeply. They even have dealings with several sacred halls and are involved in the development of the
essence of life.â
Although the Hall of the Sun had its own intelligence agency, it could not do everything it wanted either.
In terms of intelligence, the Smith family was still one of the best at gathering it.
Philip looked at the information in his hand, and his face gradually filled with gloom. He said, âThe
Lovelace family has disappeared from the country for many years. After working hard in the West for so
long, itâs not surprising that theyâve achieved such results. The important thing is whether the Lovelace
family can gain recognition in the West. If I make a move against them, will these sacred halls and
forces jump out to stop me?â
