Chapter 1687
“Master David, from today onwards, we can be considered to be on the same boat. We will rise and fall together, so
please take good care of me in the future.”
“Of course! As long as Miss Fellowes can help me complete the tasks assigned by my master, then I am fine with
everything else.”
As the two were talking, the merchant ship started again and quickly headed to the destination of this trip, the
super-large trade zone in the West End of the Central Sacred Continent.
Meanwhile, in the East End of the Central Sacred Continent, the Lightfoot family also sprung into action.
The second-in-line heir died suddenly. This was no small matter.
The Lightfoot family controlled Splendor, one of the top five trading companies.
They were a family with prestige and could command respect even in the entire Star Kingdom, let alone in the

Compared with losing a second-in-line heir, they valued their prestige and the family’s honor
more.
To put it bluntly, a direct descendant like Cornelius would appear again in a very short time.
However, if they did not find the murderer and exterminate their entire bloodline, the damage to the Lightfoot
family’s reputation might not be undone so easily.
Countless people would gossip about the incompetence of the Lightfoot family in private.
The second-in-line heir was dead, and they could not even find the murderer.
Then, the Lightfoot family would become the laughingstock of Star Kingdom.
The entire East End of the Central Sacred Continent would be in turmoil.
If Cornelius’ murderer was not found, it would soon spread to the other four ends of the Central Sacred Continent.
However, this turmoil would not affect the people living at the bottom too much.
If the murderer could kill the two beginner Sovereign Rankers next to Cornelius, they must be very powerful.
This was not something a normal person could do.
Therefore, the Lightfoot family started to eliminate their target starting from the place where Cornelius would often
go when he was alive. Their target would be mid-Sovereign Rankers or above.
However, in order to ensure that no one knew about his plan so he could finish it without anyone noticing, Cornelius
spent a lot of effort covering all his tracks.
In the end, he unknowingly helped the enemy.
Not only did he die, but he also caused a lot of trouble for his family.
They could not even find his murderer to avenge him.
Chapter 68
Cornelius did not know he would die.
Now, the Lightfoot family searched all of the East End and did not find any clues.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHence, they could only continue with the other four ends.
Cornelius’ death also spread within some major forces.
Everyone knew the second-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family died so the family was enraged. Therefore, they could
only close one eye toward the Lightfoot family’s extensive search.
If anyone dared to provoke the Lightfoot family now, the Lightfoot family would assume they were guilty.
If the Lightfoot family decided to pursue it, then it would be troublesome.
At this moment, the first-in-line heir of the family, Archimedes, took action.
He did not care about Cornelius’ death.
However, he had to think about the family’s prestige.
This was also a challenge the seniors of his family gave him. At the same time, they wanted to train him.
If Archimedes could find Cornelius’ murderer and protect the prestige of the family, he would be at the height of his
powers.
From then on, he would take over the family and become the head smoothly.
Even if he failed, it would be good training for him.
That was why Archimedes attached a lot of importance to this operation.
The area he was responsible for was the West End controlled by the Fellowes family.
