Chapter 2903
The First Heir
Lord Ludo said, âBased on the current situation, only Fitzgerald was found and confirmed to be from
the other shore. As for the others, I donât know.â
Hearing this, Philip breathed a sigh of relief and asked, âYou mentioned just now that Windsor is
Fitzgeraldâs follower. Are you saying that Windsor is acting on Fitzgeraldâs order?â
Lord Ludo nodded and said, âItâs very likely, so itâs best if you keep your distance from Windsor. His
influence in Mystic City is not small, and he doesnât only have Fitzgerald behind him. As far as I know,
the Imperial Palace is involved too.â
âThe Imperial Palace?â Philip frowned.
When it came to matters related to the Imperial Palace, Philip was uncertain too.
Was someone in the Imperial Palace working with Windsor?
Ludo said, âWe havenât found out the specifics. The Heavenly Court has no way to infiltrate the Imperial
Palace. The Imperial Preceptor is very powerful.â
Philip was quite surprised to hear this evaluation of the Imperial Preceptor from Lord Ludoâs mouth.
After all, the Heavenly Court that Lord Ludo belonged to was a branch of the ancient Heavenly Court.
Philip fell silent and asked after a long while, âHow much do you know about the Treasure-Digging
Event?â
Hearing this term, Ludo said, âThe Treasure-Digging Event is held to find the secret treasure of the
ancient sage. There are many challenges in the Mystic Cave, and only those who pass can get the
recognition of the ancient sageâs secret treasure.â
It was similar to what Windsor told him.
After a moment of silence, Philip chuckled and said, âLord Ludo, can I ask you for a favor?â
âNo can do.â
Lord Ludo grumbled, got up, and was about to leave. Philip was taken aback and scratched the back of
his head. Lord Ludo had quite the temper.
However, he still got up and asked, âHow much do you know about the Lovelace family in Mystic City?â
Hearing this, Lord Ludo turned around, sized Philip up, and asked, âWhy are you asking about the
Lovelace family?â
Philip said, âItâs a private matter.â
Lord Ludo frowned, thought for a while, and said, âI do know something, but why should I tell you?â
âWhat do you want?â Philip was not stupid and immediately understood Ludoâs meaning.
Lord Ludo smiled slyly and said, âI havenât thought of it yet. Iâll tell you when I think of something.â
After saying that, Lord Ludo said, âTurn right at the door and walk straight ahead for five miles. A
medical hall there belongs to the Lovelace family. You can take a look there. However, I have to tell you
that the medical hall is not simple.â
With that said, Lord Ludo left.
After Philip got the information, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said to Fennel,
âIâll go and come back as soon as possible.â
Fennel and the others quickly said, âWeâll go too.â
Philip thought about it and said, âLetâs go.â
Soon, they arrived at the medical hall mentioned by Ludo. Two burly men guarded the door.
Seeing Philip and his party approaching, they asked coldly, âShow your access card.â
Access card?
Philip was taken aback and asked, âWeâre here to buy some medicine. We donât have an access card.â
Hearing this, the burly guard shoved Philip away and said, âGo away. We donât sell medicine here. Go
to the next street!â
They did not sell medicine?
Philip asked in confusion, âIsnât this a medical hall?â
âNo! Get lost! Otherwise, donât blame us for being rough!â The burly man scolded sternly and pulled out
a saber from his waist.
Philip frowned but did not force his way inside. Instead, he walked to the side with Fennel and the
others.
âThis is strange. A medical hall that doesnât sell medicine or treat patients?â Fennel wondered.
Philip stroked his chin, stepped forward again, and said, âI want to see Miss Cleo Lovelace.â
The two burly men were just about to kick Philip out when they heard Cleoâs name. They were briefly
startled before they glanced at each other and said, âWait here!â
