In the evening, Austin, Dustin, and a few others arrived at the border fortress, Peace City. Peace City was Lincon’s territory. A decade ago, it was still a deserted small town.
However, under Lincon’s leadership, it became West Lucozia’s top-five city in less than ten years. Peace City was one of the best in the military, economy, politics, culture, education, and even medicine sector.
It could be said that Peace City’s achievements were all thanks to Lincon’s knowledge and outstanding capability.
If Elijah was considered a hero in chaotic times, Lincon was a capable marquis in peaceful times.
A black SUV slowly stopped beside the road outside the Marquis of Riverside’s residence. The car door opened, and Dustin and Austin got out of the car one after another.
“Dustin, this is the last stop.” Austin looked at the Marquis Riverside’s door plate and sighed.
He continued, “Lincon has quite a good relationship with Dad, not to mention he’s also righteous, and we have Elijah’s letter. It should go smoothly.”
“It’s hard to say.” Dustin shook his head. “We must put our guard up despite approaching the last step. Lincon is a schemer. Even Rufus can’t see through him. Nobody knows what he’s thinking.”
“Are you scared that something will happen?” Austin tried asking.
“Since Julius has already contacted Elijah, he must have talked with Lincon as well. I’m scared that Lincon has already agreed to join Julius’ side. If that’s the case, we’re just voluntarily walking into a trap by coming here,” Dustin analyzed.
Julius was not stupid. It could be said he was both intelligent and a good fighter. He was the Grand General of the Iron Stallion Cavalry, after all.
With his intelligence, Julius surely would be able to guess what they were thinking. Thus, he wouldn’t just sit back and watch them trying to get people on their team.
This was attested when Julius offered two cities in exchange for Elijah’s support.
Among the Southern Four Sovereigns, Wyatt and Arthur had handed over their military insignia. Thus, they were definitely on Dustin’s side.
Meanwhile, Tyrus had already signed a wedding agreement with the royal family. With mutual interests binding both sides, there shouldn’t be a problem.
As for Elijah, he rejected Julius’s condition and even killed his men. Thus, there was no way the two could work together anymore.
Now, only Lincon was left. What choice he would make was still uncertain. If Lincon agreed to side with the monarchy, Dustin would have the capability to confront Julius.
However, Dustin would be in big trouble if Lincon agreed to side with Julius.
“Dustin, your concerns aren’t without reason. However, we don’t have a choice. We must give it a try and hope Lincon will side with us,” Austin said with a sigh.
“Okay. With me around, at least I can ensure your safety.” Dustin nodded.
He had already prepared for the worst.
If Lincon sided with Julian and set a trap for them, Dustin would destroy his residence and support new personnel to take over.
Of course, he didn’t want to use violence to solve problems unless it was absolutely necessary.
“Let’s go and meet Lincon.” Austin became more confident and marched up to the door.
“Greetings, Your Highness!” When Austin got close, an old butler immediately greeted him.
“Huh?” Austin was stunned for a moment.
He didn’t introduce himself or take out his badge. Thus, he wondered how the butler recognized him with just a glance.
“You… You know me?” Austin felt a bit strange. After thinking for a moment, he remembered he had never entered the Marquis Riverside residence before.
