The Celestial Eye was one of the three greatest sacred relics of the martial world. It shared a similar reputation with the Celestial Pearl and was a priceless treasure countless individuals dreamed of possessing. The Celestial Eye was an extraordinarily mystical item with infinite uses. It could not only see through all kinds of illusions, but it could also break through numerous intricate spells. For example, one could immediately tell if they were trapped in an illusion or ensnared by a spell. Not only that, it was also useful during battles. It could discern all of the enemy's attacks. Not only that, it could also see through their weaknesses and lethal moves. Plus, it was an advantageous item to have during treasure hunting. It could tell if something was a treasure, its exact value, and its precise location. The Celestial Eye would reveal them all.Dustin never expected Tristan to possess such a treasure."You have a good eye, Logan!" Tristan exclaimed. He continued with a s
"I've been frail and ailing since childhood and can't deal with taxing work, not to mention trekking through mountains or waters, " Tristan explained. "Besides, I'm just a scholar. Why would I need the Dracan essence to enhance my cultivation? "Stop hesitating and just take it. You're the future King of West Lucozia and a pillar of our nation. The stronger you become, the more prosperous our country will be. "If I get the chance to inherit the throne, I will share the world with you, and together, we will create glory!"Tristan patted Dustin's shoulder with a smile, his last sentence implying a clear message. Since Dustin had accepted his treasure, he should support Tristan's ascension to the throne, and it would be a mutually advantageous situation."Prince Tristan, I appreciate your generosity. Thank you," Dustin said. Since Tristan had already put it that way, Dustin couldn't find another reason to decline. But the main reason was because the Celestial Eye would help him g
"What happened?" Dustin was in a daze and only felt a gentle fragrance envelop him. When he finally came to his senses, he realized he was lying in Grace's arms. Grace was dressed in loose attire, so he didn't notice it at first. But the intimacy of their close proximity finally made him realize the true meaning of firmness and suppleness. "What are you doing?" Grace frowned in anger and embarrassment. "Sorry, it wasn't on purpose. The car suddenly stopped, and I lost my balance, so …" Dustin felt awkward. "How long are you going to touch me? Get your hands off me!" Grace yelled."I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Dustin was so shocked he retracted his hands immediately. Sure enough, being too tired would only lead to delayed reactions. "What's going on outside?" Grace asked in a slightly louder voice. "Your Royal Highness, someone has blocked the way," the driver replied. "Blocking the road at this late hour? Is it an assassin?" Grace was the first to get out of the car. Dus
"If I insist on going home?" Dustin's expression grew cold. "We're just following orders. I hope you won't make things difficult for us." Neville stood still, not making any indication to move. The Silver Armor Army behind him also looked at them with burning gazes. Based on the grand scene, it appeared Dustin would be forcibly taken there if he refused to go. "Your Highness, since they're already here, there's no harm in going. Having another friend is always a good thing." Grace gently nudged Dustin as a reminder.This wasn't the time to be stubborn. No matter how tired he was, he had to endure it. After all, it would be a clear lack of courtesy if he agreed to visit Tristan but refused to visit Matthias.With Matthias' personality, there was no saying what he would do."Fine, please show the way, General Elrod." Dustin took a deep breath, holding in his temper. While he wanted to refuse them flatly, it would trigger a chain of problems afterward. "Thank you, Your Hi
Upon hearing Dustin's ambiguous answer, Matthias narrowed his eyes and chuckled. "Logan, my old friend," he said, "let me be honest with you. I'm just a warrior. I'm skilled in combat but inexperienced at being a crafty politician. "I'm especially bad at getting hold of information and have much to learn from Tristan. That is why there are not many things that I am fully aware of." "I see."Dustin nodded and continued with a smile, "Actually, His Majesty and Prince Tristan didn't discuss anything important with me. They just wanted to catch up since we haven't met in so long."Matthias' expression hardened, clearly displeased with Dustin's answer.A bearded military officer next to him shot up in anger, rebuking, "Rhys! What do you mean by catching up? Do you take His Royal Highness as a fool? I'm going to take you down!" As he spoke, he looked like he was about to draw his sword."Show some respect!" Matthias glared at him and scolded, "Logan is the Crown Prince of West
"Matthias …" Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, Grace was about to speak up. However, Dustin spoke first, "I would appear rather ungrateful if I didn't show my appreciation for your generosity. Very well, I'll accept all these treasures!""Huh?" Grace was stunned and swallowed back her words. What was going on? What was Dustin thinking? First, he accepted Tristan's gift, promising to back him in the shadows, and now he was accepting Matthias' treasures without hesitation. What an opportunist! Was the West Lucozian Crown Prince that weak against temptations? "Hahaha ... Great! You're really candid!" Matthias laughed heartily when Dustin agreed. "Guards! Pack up everything here and send them to Logan's residence later!""Thank you for your generosity, Prince Matthias!" Dustin bowed in gratitude."It's nothing." Matthias chuckled. He then changed the subject, "But speaking of which, did Father really not bring up anything special during your conversation?"Hearing th
Matthias fixed his gaze intently on Dustin, his expression brimming with enthusiasm and anticipation. He had only intended to obtain crucial information from Logan, but he didn't expect him to hold such significant influence that directly affected his father's decision.In other words, Logan played an equally important role in determining whether he could ascend to the throne. This realization brought him immense joy."Your unparalleled courage and outstanding military achievements make you most fitting for the throne. However, the final decision ultimately lies in His Majesty's hands. I can only offer a suggestion," Dustin explained."That's fine. I'm satisfied as long as you give me your full support!" Matthias exclaimed excitedly."With your generosity and our shared camaraderie, I will definitely endorse you as the next King," Dustin stated."Excellent! I can rest easy with your assurance." Matthias laughed. "Logan, from today onwards, you are my true brother. If you ever
"So, that's your plan." Grace was slightly surprised, finally understanding Dustin's behavior. It was just as Dustin said, declining Tristan's and Matthias' invitations would undoubtedly anger them, leading to unnecessary trouble. On the contrary, if he could please both princes and keep them happy, it would not only be advantageous for him but also prevent conflicts. While Dustin might appear greedy on the surface, Grace had to admit that his approach was the most sensible solution. After all, it was wiser to not take sides and offend either party. "Well, I'm in a difficult position too. If I had a choice, do you think I'd willingly accept these treasures? They're like hot potatoes and represent a heavy responsibility. But for the greater good, I have to make sacrifices," Dustin explained, shaking his head. "Next time, wipe that smirk off your face before saying something similar," Grace said, rolling her eyes at him. Dustin's shamelessness knew no bounds. Despite gaining
