Chapter 735: – Gifts

Within the Violet Empire, the other two princes had always been seen by Aili as his greatest competitors. The Violet Emperor was still young, and it was not ruled out that he would continue to have children in the future.

It was just that compared to the three of them, the advantages of the others were too small, and they couldn’t participate in the competition for the throne.

After all, the growth of bloodlines also required time. Moreover, it was difficult for bloodline experts to reproduce. It was already considered extremely lucky for someone like King Violet to have three heirs who inherited his bloodline. It was unlikely for them to give birth to a new heir.

In the past, the three of them had always competed within the Violet Empire.

Since Princess Aimer’s whereabouts were unknown, this had the greatest impact on Aili. And the beneficiaries were undoubtedly his two younger brothers.

Alan’s name rang in his mind, but Aili quickly ignored it.

‘It’s unlikely that this would be Alan’s doing. This doesn’t quite fit his personality.’

This thought flashed through Aili’s mind, and at the same time, he thought of something that had happened recently.

The Third Prince Ailan could still be considered to be at ease in Aili’s heart. He had always been well-behaved in the past, and his mother’s influence could not be regarded as too strong. The sense of threat she gave off was far less than that of the Second Prince Jason.

Moreover, some time ago, he had already voluntarily left the imperial city, indicating that he would no longer participate in the competition for competitors.

Whether it was in strength or suspicion, he couldn’t do so.

Then, was it Jason?

Various thoughts flashed through Aili’s mind, and he became increasingly frustrated. The power hidden in his bloodline was surging up, making him feel an impulse to go crazy at all costs, wanting to kill someone.

“If I find out who did this…”

Killing intent emerged in his heart, along with a hidden deep madness. He would tell the other party the price if he found out who was behind this.

However, in front of him, it seemed that he could only continue investigating even though Aili knew in his heart that there was no use in continuing to investigate.

On the other side, Chen Heng followed the caravan and slowly returned to his territory. In a familiar city, Chen Heng met Alice.

“Your Highness.”

Upon hearing the news of Chen Heng’s return, Alice almost jogged out to welcome him. She only let out a sigh of relief when she saw Chen Heng and said, “You’re finally back.”

“I’ve made all of you worried.”

Chen Heng’s expression was gentle as he nodded at her. Then, he looked behind her and saw Charlie standing at the side. He was still the same as before. His expression looked very serious. On the surface, he looked very serious, like a dutiful guard.

“The rest of you go back to work.”

Chen Heng said softly. After thinking for a while, he said, “Charlie, come with me.”

“Yes.”

Everyone present nodded. Alice glanced at Charlie and didn’t say anything. She just bowed to Chen Heng and then quietly left.

“When I was away, did anything happen around here?”

Coming to the familiar hall, Chen Heng walked and looked at Charlie simultaneously.

“No.”

Charlie shook his head. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Nothing strange happened in the territory.”

“There was news from the outside. Some time ago, Prince Aili sent someone to send news. He wants us to send some people to cooperate with their investigation.”

“Cooperate with the investigation.”

Chen Heng nodded. “It seems there is still no news of Princess Aimer’s whereabouts.”

“I think so too.”

Charlie said, “Prince Aili should be anxious about this matter.”

Although he was a minor character in front of Chen Heng, Charlie was still a noble of the palace and had experienced many simulation worlds. He knew the politics of the noble very well.

He had some understanding of the situation Aili was facing, so he naturally understood what Aili was feeling at the moment.

“If nothing happens, it should be difficult for him to find her.”

Chen Heng shook his head and said, “I just don’t know what will happen in the end.”

Although there wasn’t enough evidence to prove what happened on Princess Aimer’s side, Chen Heng had reasonable grounds to suspect that it was done by the people of the King’s Council.

They had the courage and strength to do so. As for Aili’s side, new problems would soon appear. Not only was the King’s Council targeting his fiancee, even he was one of the targets.

If the King’s Council also caught Aili, he might even be able to see his fiancee in the King’s Council’s base. That scene was really interesting when he thought about it.

Chen Heng smiled, then continued to ask some questions. Charlie replied to them one by one, appearing to be meticulous.

He did not idle around during this time in the city. Instead, he completed the task Chen Heng gave him without slacking off. Chen Heng also noticed that Charlie’s strength had undergone a new change. He had now reached the Second Rank.

This progress in strength surprised Chen Heng.

“Well done.”

In the end, he said softly, affirming Charlie’s hard work. Only then did a smile appear on Charlie’s face.

To him, it didn’t matter what other people’s evaluations were. The most important thing was still Mr. Chen Heng’s acknowledgment. After all, no matter what others did, they couldn’t affect his World of Gods’ main body.

But the Chen Heng in front of him was different.

“In the black market, our people have already spread the news and offered a high reward. They asked people to help us collect a batch of high-quality bloodline items.

“I think we will have some gains after a while.”

Charlie thought for a moment and then continued, “In addition, some time ago, someone sent gifts, including three coffins.

“Because Miss Alice was afraid that the items inside would be damaged, she didn’t ask someone to open the coffin. Instead, she asked us to seal those coffins and wait for you to investigate them personally when you return.”

Alice did this out of caution. After all, once some items were unsealed, they would quickly disappear and be wasted. If there were any precious items stored inside, it would undoubtedly cause waste.

As for sending coffins, it was nothing in this world. There was no special meaning to it.

“Coffins…”

Hearing Charlie’s words, Chen Heng’s heart could not help but move. He then said, “Bring me there to take a look.”

“Yes.”

Charlie nodded and then brought Chen Heng forward. They walked through many places before finally arriving at a large hall. There was a special magic circle in the hall, and it was cold all around.

This was a place that was especially used to preserve special items. There were magic circles of various sizes around it, and there were also special guards guarding it. They were especially responsible for the safety of this area. Chen Heng walked into this place and looked around.

When Chen Heng first arrived in this city, the place was empty. But now, after a few months, this place had become much richer and had some stocks.

In the center, there were three huge coffins. Strictly speaking, there were quite a lot of coffins here. After all, many of the corpses were bought by Chen Heng and were stored in special coffins.

However, these three coffins were still different. This could be seen from the materials used for the coffins.

Not only were the materials used for these three coffins very good, but there was also a powerful sealing power engraved on them, sealing the things inside them so that the aura within would not leak out.

Under all sorts of measures, the contents within the coffins could be preserved perfectly and would not be damaged.

Of course, the most important thing for Chen Heng was that these three coffins were the same as those sent by the King’s Council. There was no difference between the two.

“They’re this efficient.”

This thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind. He had just returned from negotiating with the King’s Council before they sent over the items.

Their efficiency was quite good. It was not that the King’s Council was efficient but that Chen Heng was too slow.

After the discussion that day, the elder of the King’s Council had originally planned to wait for Chen Heng to return before sending the items over.

In the end, he found that Chen Heng was traveling slowly. They got impatient, so they simply sent the items over first to avoid waiting too long. As for whether Chen Heng agreed to their conditions, this question was never their consideration.

It made sense. Chen Heng estimated that if he did not agree to the other party’s conditions and knew so many things about the other party, then the other party’s next target would probably be him.

Ordinary people would not dare to do so, but the other party was prepared to make a move on the first prince of the Violet Empire, Aili. Killing the third prince along the way was nothing.

With such confidence, it was naturally much easier to make decisions. It was not difficult for Chen Heng.

He was not prepared to refuse, so starting early was not bad.

“Bring these things to my laboratory.”

After giving an order to Charlie, Chen Heng started to move again. He moved very quickly.

Since the things were in his hands, he naturally had to get rid of them as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be too late.

Corpses were also valuable in this world, especially those with good bloodlines. Many people wanted them. If he didn’t get rid of them as soon as possible, it would be too late if anything happened later.

Charlie nodded respectfully at the side. Then, he quickly brought people to move the three coffins to the other side.

“It’s time to get busy again.”

Chen Heng stood where he was and looked at the materials on the ground. He could not help but shake his head and smile. However, to a certain extent, this kind of busyness was what people like him needed the most.

After a moment, he continued forward and arrived at his laboratory. By now, the people in the laboratory had been driven away, leaving only Chen Heng and Charlie.

After receiving Chen Heng’s signal, Charlie did not hesitate and directly went forward to open the coffins.
