Chapter 1235
Author: Lord Leaf
The relationship between the prestigious families of Eastcliff was very intricate.

Noble intermarriage was a common practice between these families, similar to the royal intermarriage where members of the ruling dynasties married into other reigning families.

After all, every family had both male and female offspring, and when they reached the marriageable age, they were bound to look for suitable spouses. Since it was impossible for them to choose a spouse from ordinary families, their only options were the descendants among the prestigious families.

It could be said that all of these prestigious families were more or less related by marriage between each other. In fact, some families that had many offspring would extend their intermarriage practice to the large network of other prominent families.

In Europe, royal intermarriage was very common among monarchies where their kings and queens were related to each other, and this was because the royal families throughout Europe were

    That was when a man stepped out, frowning as he asked, "What are you doing here?"The cannery owner quickly said, "I'm the owner here… I mean, the former owner. The new owner actually owes me some balance payment, so I came to check things out…"The other man came to a realization with a start. "Oh, you want to see him? Just wait here."With that, he turned and headed indoors, and Martin soon stepped out.Seeing the cannery owner, he asked from behind the gates, "What are you doing here?"The cannery owner smiled and said, "Oh, I was just running an errand and decided to drop by to see how things are going. I mean, this was my life's work, after all…" Pausing, he then asked, "Also, why haven't you started work yet? I thought renovations would have started by now."Merlin deliberately sighed out loud as if he were really troubled. "Oh, don't even start—my partner is having troubles and asked to pull out! I've been basically working in his stead for two days now, all while trying

    Roy promptly replied, "Yes, Sir!"That was when a soldier from Ten Thousand Armies hurried inside, informing Charlie and Merlin, "Mr. Wade, Captain Lammy, we spotted a car approaching the compound. A lone driver.""Are you sure he's alone?" Merlin promptly asked warily."Yes, Sir. It was definitely one person in one car," the soldier replied. "Antric had a solid vantage point from high ground, and we are able to see anything moving within a radius of ten kilometers."As he finished, his satellite phone vibrated, and he turned it on to display the image he had just received from Antric—a photo of the driver's face.Merlin breathed a sigh of relief once he saw it. "That's the cannery owner. Probably came to check on my progress. Tell Antric to ignore him if he's just looking around, as long as he's not coming inside. But if he does, stop him. I'll go out to talk to him if he mentions me by name.""Yes, Sir!" The soldier promptly relayed Merlin's orders.-Meanwhile, the cannery o

    Meanwhile, at the cannery, over ten thousand people were queuing up to claim the antidote that would counteract the poison in their veins.After Cyprus, Charlie once again bore witness to the immaculate discipline that the armed cavalry guards, the dead soldiers, and even their family members had.Even if this was a dream come true for many of them, each of them observed the order and never complained as they stayed in the queue.Moreover, everyone was dead silent as their respective supervisors told them to stay quiet, and there wasn't even a whisper. All one could hear from those ten thousand people was soft footsteps, and maybe a little flapping of their clothes.As for the antidote, Charlie had used up every pill he had.After selling his Rejuvenating Pill for trillions, he could likely get the world's richest people to pay quadrillions or more for those pills.Still, Charlie wouldn't obsess over mere money—he could just make more pills.However, it was unlikely that he coul

    Arlo promptly called Fleur, immediately respectful when she answered, "My Lady, my Hubbertians have found Praetor Singer's sword in Duca Mines, but there are no other signs of her."Fleur frowned. "The sword I forged is the very definition of a magical instrument, and it was my choice to give it to Penny and not someone like Ruby Chain… Yet you're saying the enemy didn't even take it?! Are they belittling my treasures?!"Arlo really didn't understand how Fleur's mind was functioning just then.Was it not good for them that they had recovered Penny's sword? Why was she upset instead?Still, he soon remembered that despite Fleur's might and cunning, she was still a woman, and their ego tended to be wired differently from a man's.Perhaps in her mind, that sword was a treasure, so the sword being left behind like trash was an insult—she would rather her mysterious foe take it and consecrate it like a family heirloom.Feeling a little awkward, Arlo said, "If I may offer an opinion, M

    Although Moroccan Authorities had cordoned off the entire Duca mining facility, their barricade may well be nonexistent to the Hubertians.They first examined the evidence, as the investigators had sorted out everything they recovered from the rubble for further examination. Penny's sword was basically the first item they discovered, which they classified as a personal possession.Hubbertian elites always answered to the Right Military Governor, and most of them had crossed paths with Penny, so they quickly recognized it and were aware that it was a personal gift from Lady Griffin.When they found it, the Hubbertians were overjoyed and immediately brought the sword back to Arlo.On the other hand, Arlo only felt a swell of ominous feeling in his gut.This sword was a magical instrument personally crafted by Fleur, and Penny had treasured it.As long as she was alive, she would definitely hold on to the sword.But now, the sword had been left in Duca, making it clear that her f

    Seeing a ray of hope, Arlo promptly ordered the task force to find the ship logs of the Port of Casablanca, combing through the freight vessels that had docked or departed within the last few days.Naturally, there were hundreds of them, and some were even heading to the other side of the world.But to Arlo, each ship was suspect, and he wasn't worried about the vessels being hard to track after reaching the wider ocean.After all, the movement of every freight vessel had to be legally recorded, and if they found a suspect, it would be easy to track down its country of origin or the company that owned it. It meant a lot of searching, but that still meant their missing garrison wouldn't elude capture.So, he had people investigate and record the routes of every vessel within the suspected timeframe where the Duca Garrison had left the mines.The international shipping system was almost no different from the international civil aviation system, with real-time information about every
