Chapter 99
“They couldn’t survive initially. They were put into a sack with a huge rock tied to it. They were then thrown into the Pollerton sea. However, they were lucky, as a fishing boat that passed by saved them,” Nigel continued.
Hearing that, Conner fell into deep contemplation.
Not long after, he continued asking, “What do you think of Jennifer’s land reclamation idea?”
The corner of Nigel’s lips curled as he put on a disdainful smile””It’s total bullsh*t! It’s just her wishful thinking! That area is a conservation area. Even though most of the endangered fishes there have migrated, a Class One Conservation Area will always be a Class One Conservation Area. No individual, regardless of how influential they are, could downgrade it to a Class Four Conservation Area. The approval for land reclamation could not be obtained even if you propose it in person. It would require two-thirds of members from the Paradise Sept to vote to obtain approval! Who would be able to gain approval in this country?”
Conner answered, “There are still a few.”
“Are those even humans? They must be gods. Since they are gods, why do they need the approval still? I will humiliate her later. I will let her know that she is nothing without me!” said Nigel with contempt.
Sylvia’s wrinkled face frowned. “I’ll do it. I’ll make sure she knows her place.”
Nigel smiled silently. His expression was filled with mockery.
So what if I failed to take over Scarlet Swan Villa? I’m the future successor of the Tayhaven King! I will be in control of Tayhaven!
The atmosphere was lively in the hall.
Jennifer was sitting quietly at the side, scrolling her phone, thinking about what she should wear when the banquet officially began.
The guests needed to change into their formal attire before the banquet started. Most of them were discussing that topic too.
There were some that were already preparing to change into their formal dresses,
Jennifer came in a hurry. Plus, that was the first time she attended such an event, so she did not know about that rule. Hence, she was not well-prepared.
Suddenly, an exclamation was heard.
Turning around, a handsome mani entered the hall in his formal suit.
It was a tuxedo suit, and the cutting of the suit was pretty fitting. The suit was encrusted with diamonds that almost blinded everyone’s eyes.
The man was none other than Dexter Wilson. He was the crown prince of a small country’s royal family. The man owned fifty percent shares in the royal family and had a net worth of a few billion. His demeanor showed how wealthy he was.
“Wow! Isn’t this the suit that was presented during the international fashion show last time! It’s a notable creation of Thomas Forbis. The suit itself is worth eight million!” someone exclaimed.
Everyone who attended the banquet was already quite wealthy. However, a set of clothing that was worth eight million was still too extravagant for them.

“Yes! That’s the one. Look at how it’s encrusted with diamonds! It’s gorgeous. Only the crown prince is capable of wearing it,” someone said enviously.
The appearance of Dexter was already quite astonishing, but the arrival of the old man behind him was even more shocking.
The old man was wearing white gloves and was helping Dexter smoothen out the wrinkles on his suit. At the same time, he was polishing the diamonds on the suit.
The man was Thomas Forbis.
The master of the fashion industry was now the private butler of Dexter.
“Impressive! As expected from the crown prince of a royal family!” someone among the crowd exclaimed.
Kevin pouted as he looked at Dexter enviously. We’re about the same age. How come you can become the crown prince of the royal family?
Dexter was satisfied with everyone’s gazes of envy and admiration. He nodded with a smile and went to sit aside,
Both Nigel and Conner’s gazes were locked on Dexter.
“Our goal is to unite all eight branches of the family and win over the top conglomerates all over the world. He will be the key to our success,” Conner said.
Nigel nodded. “His father is one of your best students. You were the one who helped him get to where he is today. I guess he would be willing to lend a hand. Do you think we stand a chance against the Campbell family after uniting the eight branches?”
