The First Heir Chapter 5189
Niffler had outgrown his use, so his existence was no longer meaningful. Scarlet had found a new target. When she first entered the city, Scarlet had gathered a lot of information. It was rumored that the mayor of this city preferred beautiful women and would bring them into the mayor’s residence. However, the masses quickly refuted this unfounded gossip. Many people felt that this rumor was untrue and respected their mayor very much. The person who leaked the news had rotten eggs thrown at him and had to run away. However, Scarlet felt something off about this. As an experienced person, Scarlet knew there had to be a reason for this rumor. Since someone mentioned it, something must be up. Scarlet followed her memory and found the man spreading the rumors. He had been beaten quite badly and was tending to his wounds. He was startled by Scarlet’s sudden appearance and quickly dodged. Scarlet comforted the man, “Don’t worry, I’m not here to make things difficult for you. I wa

Although Alton acted as if he was greeting everyone, only he knew his purpose. As Alton said hello to everyone, he saw a woman selling potatoes on the side. The woman was very pretty and dressed modestly, very vibrant. She was none other than Scarlet in disguise. Scarlet had met Alton several times before, so she had to put on an act. As a customer of Treasure House, Scarlet had bought many camouflage pills. It was all thanks to them that she could change her appearance. Otherwise, people would have noticed her long ago. Alton was pleasantly surprised to see such a beautiful woman. The last beauty who caught his attention was Noelle from Treasure House. Due to Philip, however, Alton did not express his admiration and simply treated her as an ordinary person. Nonetheless, prolonged interaction made him uncomfortable. It was difficult to control his desire when he could see but not touch. “Young lady, why are you selling potatoes here all alone?” Alton stepped forward curiously

Alton could hardly refuse the request and quickly agreed. “No problem, we have a lack of maids in the mayor’s residence anyway. Just follow me.” Alton’s pretentious attitude made it impossible for anyone to discover his true nature. Scarlet knew that her plan had succeeded. The two of them left with their own agendas. The onlookers praised the mayor and thought he was the best man in the world. He was even willing to take the woman in as a maid to take care of her livelihood. Everyone cheered and applauded Alton. Alton smiled triumphantly and knew that his plan was a complete success. The two of them quickly hooked up, and Alton was very satisfied with Scarlet. Alton even had the illusion that this was his true love. With Scarlet's practice during this time combined with the pills she purchased from Philip, Scarlet’s level had reached greater heights. It was easier for her to control Alton now, but the duration was limited. Faced with the waves of spells, Alton had comple

Alton was surprised that his son did not attend his classes but came here to ruin his fun instead. Cosmo sneered and said, “The commotion you made attracted my attention!” Alton felt frustrated at Cosmo’s sarcastic retort. “Whatever, I’ll just blame it on your youth and ignorance. Don’t say such things again. You should return to your classes right now!” Alton waved his hand in dismissal. He still doted on his son. “Give me the woman inside,” Cosmo said. Alton was startled and turned to Cosmo in disbelief. “What did you say?” Cosmo stared at his father steadfastly and repeated his request with emphasis, “I said, give me the woman inside.” Alton was furious. Not to mention that he was already obsessed with Scarlet, even if she was just a tool for him to vent, she was not someone his son could touch! “Get out of my sight!” He smacked Cosmo and sent him flying. Cosmo looked at his father angrily. He had never suffered this treatment before. “Don’t say such things a

Scarlet nodded obediently. Seeing that, Alton hardened his resolve and left. Soon after that, Cosmo barged into the room. He held a dagger in his hand and wanted to cut this woman into pieces. He simply wanted to kill this woman when he asked for her earlier. While Alton was away, Cosmo wanted to get it done. Alton usually targeted ordinary women with little to no practice ability. As a practitioner, it was easy for Cosmo to kill someone. In fact, he could have killed this woman by stealth, but to fake a scenario of the mistresses competing for favor and killing each other, he decided to use the crudest method. Scarlet stared in disbelief at the man who suddenly barged in and quickly recognized him. Before Scarlet could say anything, Cosmo rushed over with a dagger and stabbed her in the heart. An ordinary person would be dead under that attack. Scarlet quickly dodged to avoid the attack. As both were practitioners, the chase went on for a while. “You're actually such a p

Scarlet was surprised that everything went so smoothly. This father and son were so gullible. Scarlet was also proud that the trap she set caused conflicts among many people. “Let’s see what you can do next, little guy.” Scarlet smiled as Cosmo left. She took another pill to ensure her appearance remained unchanged. She could only gain the trust of others by maintaining this appearance.… Meanwhile, Alton found Mark. At first, he thought he would let Mark take charge, but he was so slow that Alton was getting impatient. “Have you taken any action? Why haven't I heard anything?” Alton questioned Mark unhappily. “If you can’t get it done, let someone else do it!” Alton snapped so fiercely that the domestic staff cowered in fear. Mark sighed and told Alton what happened the other day. At first, he wanted to take this opportunity to capture Philip’s alchemist. Not only did he fail, but he also alerted the enemy. His men were keeping watch at the door but saw no signs of the othe

Before Alton’s arrival, Mark had sent someone to report the situation to Alton, but it seemed he had not heard of it yet. “As a last resort, I plan to break into the yard and capture the kid by force. That’s the only hope we have. What else can we do if the kid refuses to leave the house?” Everyone discussed the plan and finally made an important decision. They would kidnap the kid by force. The kid was just an immature teenager and would not understand these plots and grudges. If they could not lure him out, they could use some special means to trick him into joining them. The discussion slowly shifted to talking about their children. “Try and talk to Cosmo nicely. He’s a good kid. Maybe he’s just feeling rebellious. If that doesn’t work, we can think of something else. It’s a mental health issue that has to be addressed in time,” Mark advised Alton in a roundabout way as if he knew something. Alton was puzzled by Mark’s odd remarks. “What exactly do you mean? Just spit

Alton clenched his fists, shocked by his son’s actions. “He wants Philip to deal with me, there's no doubt about it!” Alton quickly guessed the truth. He would not hesitate to kill anyone who had second thoughts, but this was his precious son. His only child! “Yes, we have to kill Philip at once to prevent anything from happening or he’ll lead my son astray!” In Alton's twisted mind, everything was Philip's fault. Cosmo would never have the crazy thought of getting rid of him if Philip had not brainwashed him. “It’s all his fault. I only have one precious son to inherit the family business. If anything happens, I’ll obliterate him!” Alton was prepared to do whatever it took to get rid of Philip. Once Treasure House was in his city, he could easily control it. “I have a plan.” Alton pulled Mark over for a private discussion. After Alton changed his mind and decided to kill Philip, Mark was excited. He could take this advantage to gain some benefits too. Meanwhile, Phil
