Chapter 3049
The First Heir
Philip still held the gun against the manâs head and watched as Fennel and the others went through the
gate smoothly with Janike before he slowly walked inside.
After they entered, the man angrily threw his hat on the ground and roared, âWhatâs going on with this
first line of defense? Are they crazy?â
As he vented his anger, a voice suddenly came from the headset, âEveryone, alert! Outsiders have
infiltrated Cochly Mountain! The seventh squad of the first line of defense has been killed!â
Hearing this, the manâs expression changed. His eyes widened as he looked at the departing backs of
Philip and the others. He roared, âAfter them! Theyâre spies!â
In an instant, several teams gave chase.
After Philip and the others passed through the huge city wall, they strayed off the main road and braved
the wind and snow to enter the nearby mountains. At this moment, they lay on the edge of a nearby cliff
and looked down at the search parties.
Fennel sneered and said, âHe guessed it. Will they discover our identities?â
Philip adjusted his hat and said, âItâs very simple. If theyâre the defense force of Cochly Mountain and
they canât even discover us, theyâre simply too vulnerable.â
After that, Philip glanced into the distance and said, âWe need to stay off the main road. We donât know
the situation inside Cochly Mountain yet, so we can only walk from here.â
Hearing this, Janikeâs face, which was red from the cold, went dark as she said, âWhat? Do we need to
go through the mountains? No way. Itâs not a big deal if I just tell them that I brought you guys in.â
Philip turned to Janike and said, âIf I told you that those people just now didnât really intend to escort
you to the stargate but wanted to kidnap you, would you believe me?â
Hearing that, Janike blinked her big eyes and said in puzzlement, âHow could they? This is Cochly
Mountain. They wouldnât dare.â
Philip smiled and said, âIn the face of interests, nothing is impossible. Youâre very important to Cochly
Mountain. Iâm sure many people want to catch hold of you to threaten Cochly Mountain.â
âBut how do you know that they want to kidnap me?â Janike asked seriously.
For the first time, she realized that people could be so evil.
âItâs simpleâ¦â Philip chuckled and said, âYouâre very important to Cochly Mountain, but after hearing
the news of your return, no one actually came to pick you up in person. Instead, these so-called guards
wanted to bring you back. Donât you think that it doesnât make sense?â
Janike fell silent, and her eyes dimmed. She did not want to believe it, but Philip had a point.
Fennel looked at her and shook his head helplessly. At first glance, this girl was obviously
inexperienced in the ways of the world and did not understand the darker side of human nature.
âWho do you think it is?â Fennel asked.
Philip frowned, thought about it, and said, âMaybe someone from the Lovelace family or the Nonagon.
Anyway, we have to be on high alert.â
A moment later, Philip got up and said, âLetâs go.â
Then, the group walked along the mountains following the route in Fennelâs memory to the small main
city in the depths.
At this moment, in a snow-covered building in the main city.
Owen Greeneâs face was very ugly as he stared at the electronic surveillance screen angrily.
On the screen, it showed the earlier scene where Philip impersonated a guard of Cochly Mountain and
took Janike and the others across the defense lines.
âSearch for them immediately! Be sure to find the guardian maidenâs whereabouts! Also, notify the five
marquises that sheâs back!â Owen said coldly as he clenched his fists tightly.
He never imagined that someone could pass through so many lines of defense and enter the heart of
Cochly Mountain unscathed!
