Chapter - 5263

“Collect the beasts for now. The fur and hide won’t be worth much, but the meat should be tender and delicious, am I right?” the emperor asked curiously.

As far as he knew, most beast meat had an average taste. The meat was tough and not something he preferred, so the emperor rarely ate beast meat. However, the emperor had never seen the beasts that attacked them this time, so he was curious and eager to have a taste.

“Don’t worry, leave it to me!” Fernand patted his chest, confident that he could handle it.

“It doesn’t matter if we can’t get any money, but our strength will greatly improve after we eat the meat of a beast,” Fernand added with a smile. He was speaking from his own experience over the years.

The emperor was very interested. He summoned his people to gather the edible meat and bring it back to his palace after cutting it into pieces. He did not want others to know about it. Otherwise, everyone would disturb him during mealtimes.

Seeing the emperor’s curiosity, Fernand was expectant.

As a well-informed person, he had heard about Treasure House. He knew that Treasure House had been doing quite well, but their business seemed to be in decline lately.

Thinking of this, he wanted to remind Lance how terrible it would be to fall from grace. Treasure House was a prime example. With fame but not the strength to match, the only result would be to fall from grace.

Fernand’s source of information was not very reliable. At least, the last report he received was that Treasure House was done for, and he had no way to verify the information. Besides, he had always relied on the intel given by his people.

This person was loyal to Fernand, and he was surprised to discover later that Treasure House had stopped for business.

It was a waste for Treasure House to stop doing business even though they had so much stock on hand.

Following this, he was very devastated and decided to tell Fernand about the collapse of Treasure House. Whether the news was true or false, he did not want any contact with Treasure House anymore. Therefore, Fernand did not receive any updated news about Treasure House.

In Fernand’s opinion, Lance was safe because he had someone behind him. Fernand figured out that this person was none other than the prime minister.

The prime minister’s secret support for Lance proved that he was opposing Fernand. Since their opinions differed, Fernand had to deal with the prime minister too. Thus, he had to seize this opportunity to achieve his goal even if he had to use Lance as an excuse.
