Chapter 2916
The First Heir
A huge battle broke out between the fire chimera and the giant snake. This scene happened in one
corner of Mystic City and attracted the attention of many forces!
âWhoâs fighting? Such terrifying energy fluctuations are no less than the strength of disciples in the
sixth zone!â In an attic, a man with a folding fan asked with a frown.
âYoung Master, we havenât received any news yet,â a servant replied.
The handsome man frowned and gazed sharply in the direction where the battle broke out in the
distance, and his pupils were filled with flames and the power of lightning!
âFind out immediately! I want to know the detailed information of the other party. If we canât control such
people, we must kill them!â the man said coldly.
âYes, Young Master!â The servant immediately turned and left.
At this moment, a stoic middle-aged man walked out from behind the young man. He had gray hair and
his hands were behind his back. His angular face looked serious and resolute.
âUncle Samuel, why are you here?â the handsome man said with a slight bow.
The middle-aged man looked into the distance where the battle broke out with his wise eyes and said
in a low voice, âDonât pay too much attention to such things. You should understand the purpose of our
trip this time.â
The handsome man raised his eyebrows and said, âUncle Samuel, I donât understand why my father
insists that I marry Layla Nolan. Is it really worth the effort for us to get the neutral faction on our side?â
Uncle Samuel gazed sharply at the handsome man and said, âDonât you understand yet? The neutral
faction is now the backbone of the Heavenly Court. Gaining his approval is equivalent to gaining the
initiative in Heavenly Court! If you marry Layla, our faction can gain more authority and initiative!â
Hearing this, the handsome manâs eyes darkened as he said, âBut you should know that Layla doesnât
like me. Itâs difficult for me to win her over.â
The middle-aged man said, âWeâve made plans for this. During the Treasure-Digging Event tomorrow,
weâll create some situations. When the time comes, you just need to take action and save the damsel
in distressâ¦â
Hearing this, the handsome man scowled and seemed a little reluctant.
The middle-aged man said, âAlso, stop sending some low-level killers to assassinate Layla. This makes
us seem very passive.â
The handsome man nodded without another word.

Back to Philipâs side. The battle was still going on, but the man with a mask was sent flying out by a
sword strike. He rolled to the ground and spat a mouthful of blood. On the other side, the fire chimera
stomped on the giant lightning snake and roared to the sky.
Philip walked up to the man, nudged the longsword to his neck, and asked coldly, âOne last time. Who
sent you here?â
The man laughed and said, âJust kill me. You wonât get any information from me!â
Philip snorted and said, âIs the person behind you worth your life? If he cares about you, shouldnât he
have sent someone to save you by now?â
Hearing this, the manâs eyes turned gloomy. However, he quickly chuckled and said, âThis outdated
trope of sowing discord wonât work on me. If my master wants me to die, Iâll die without any complaints!
Just do as you please!â
With that said, the man closed his eyes and waited for death.
Philip frowned and looked at the man. He did not kill him but said instead, âGo back and tell your
master not to try to challenge my patience. I donât want to have any conflicts with him, but if itâs really
inevitable, the Dragon King of Mystic City will soon be replaced!â
