Chapter 1720
"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

"All these money offers are exhausting me!" Dustin sighed heavily, wearing an expression of helplessness. Every cell in his body was exhausted. Why was it so difficult to get a good night's sleep?"Logan, long time no see!" While Dustin and Grace were whispering to each other, a young man dressed lavishly approached them, accompanied by an imposing entourage. The man had a dignified and graceful demeanor. When he smiled, it was like a breath of fresh air. This man was none other than Dragonmarsh's third prince, Nathaniel Linsor. "It's been ten years. You look amazing as ever, Logan," Nathaniel greeted him warmly as if finally meeting a long-lost friend. He continued, "I remember we used to hunt together back when we were kids. But my aim left much to be desired compared to yours." "Long time no see, Your Royal Highness." Dustin forced a smile."Hello, Nathaniel," Grace greeted him. "Oh, Grace, you're here too? That's great. Both of you can come over to my place for a vi

Nathaniel and Grace were much more refined compared to Dustin, who was wolfing down his food. They savored each bite and ate in moderation. Half an hour later, Dustin finally had his fill. His previously flat belly was now protruding, and he couldn't have been more satisfied. After the last sip of wine, Dustin couldn't help but let out a long, satisfied burp. At this point, a good nap would be perfect. Suddenly, Dustin felt himself feeling more tired. That meal had left him even sleepier. "Logan, are you satisfied with your meal?" Nathaniel asked with a smile."Absolutely. I had a feast today with you serving up rare delicacies." Dustin looked extremely satisfied. Everything tasted good to him when he was hungry. "That's good." Nathaniel nodded, the smile still on his face. "Logan, if I may ask, why were you wandering around so late at night instead of resting? A lot has happened today, and there are checkpoints both inside and outside of Oakvale. You need to be carefu

"There's no need to be humble, Logan. You were once the renowned Kirin. Even if you've been out of practice for a few years, you're still remarkable. I trust in your abilities!"Nathaniel patted Dustin's shoulders like an elder brother would. Dustin wondered whether it was even about his abilities. Clearly, it was the money that was lacking. If only Nathaniel were as generous as his brothers, Dustin wouldn't need to play along like this Despite his inner thoughts, Dustin remained composed on the surface. "Prince Nathaniel, you're too kind. My reputation is nothing compared to yours.""Logan, why don't you consider working with me?"Nathaniel continued meaningfully, "I have the highest chance of ascending to the throne among my brothers. With your support, my chances would be even greater. Backing me would be the wisest choice and the most rewarding investment." "I …" Dustin appeared pensive. Typically, at this point, anyone with common sense would recognize the need to pre

After a relentless effort to stay awake, Dustin's only reward was a piece of blue diamond. What a meager outcome. All three of them were princes, but why were they so different? Dustin decided it didn't matter, only wishing to head home and get some rest. "Prince Nathaniel, it's getting late. I'll be taking my leave first." Dustin excused himself. "Go ahead. I'll come to you when I need your help." Nathaniel nodded with a smile. Dustin and Grace left soon after a simple exchange of pleasantries. Back in the car, Dustin held the unremarkable pendant, shaking his head and sighing. "Grace, your brother is so stingy. How does he expect to win me over with just a pendant?" Dustin complained. "Nathaniel is a cautious man. He doesn't commit too readily until he's absolutely certain. He's already quite generous by presenting you with a fine blue diamond pendant considering his nature," Grace explained with a smile.In fact, had she not spoken up, Dustin probably would have left e

"Grace, there shouldn't be anyone else disturbing me tonight, right?" Dustin asked as he leaned back into his seat. The repeated disturbances had left him mentally exhausted. Each time he attempted to return home and get some sleep, someone would block his way, making him feel like a jumpy rabbit. Even though he was on the verge of exhaustion, he dared not close his eyes. He was afraid of being rudely awakened once he did, as that made it more unbearable. Dustin compared it to the feeling of being interrupted while in the middle of relieving himself."Why? Have you not earned enough?" Grace chuckled."Though making money is important, my life takes precedence. I'm truly exhausted. All I want to do now is sleep," Dustin said, rubbing his tired eyes."Don't worry. The only ones worthy of vying for the throne tonight were the three princes who approached you. My other brothers fall a bit short in various aspects and won't be joining in on the fun," Grace assured."Great." Dustin
