Chapter 4140
The First Heir
Irvinâs words dropped like a bombshell.
Apart from him and Verdant, everyone else in the living room had different expressions.
There was surprise in Philipâs eyes, disdain in Nigellaâs, and shock and disbelief in the Page family
butlerâs eyes.
Two talents want to mess with the nine royal families that has taken root on the Starfall Continent for
many years?
It was nothing but a joke no matter how anyone looked at it.
Verdant smiled and said, âIrvin is used to being outspoken. Please excuse him. However, thatâs the gist
of it. The nine royal families have ruled over the continent without any problems, but thatâs not the case
for other practitioner families, many of which have been destroyed.â
Verdant looked up at Adrian, the meaning in his eyes quite profound. There was a trace of helplessness
and longing too. It was the desire to take control of his own life.
âTherefore, I want to join forces with all casual practitioners not to stand against the nine royal families
and the ancient Heavenly Court but just to have the power to protect myself. We donât want to be caught
unaware in a deadly crisis,â Verdant added while taking a deep breath.
Morine saw a trace of sincerity in Verdantâs eyes, which he admired the other party for. After all, not
many people would dare to make this sort of declaration. One careless move and they would be
completely wiped out by the nine royal families.
After a moment of silence, Morine said, âWhat backing do you have?â
This remark was quite forthright, but Verdantâs eyes sharpened instantly.
He said, âI can contact more than a dozen pseudo holy talents! Iâm ranked 38 on the nine-star talent list,
and I have the brains that many people donât have!â
Since Morine questioned Verdant, he had to prove his ability.
Morineâs eyes narrowed. He seemed to understand why Verdant wanted to approach him.
Based on Verdantâs explanation, he did not need Morine at all. After all, Morine was just a nine-star
practitioner. However, Morine was keenly aware that Verdant did not mention any holy beings!
In other words, Verdant did not have a holy being in his group, and it was the biggest drawback for his
force.
How could he gain a foothold without a holy being?
âI seeâ¦â Morine looked at Verdant thoughtfully.
He unconsciously tapped the armrest with his fingers, and a clear rattling sound could be heard on the
wooden armrest.
Everyone looked at Morine while Verdant said with a smile, âIt seems that youâve realized my purpose.
Let me know your thoughts.â
Morine pondered for a while.
He had some people under his command. If he joined this alliance, he did not have to worry about the
hostility of the two royal families in the future, although he was not particularly concerned about it in the
first place. However, it was better to have less trouble if possible.
With that thought in mind, Morine said, âIâm not sure if my teacher will join your alliance. If he refuses,
your plan will be in vain.â Verdant grinned broadly.
