"Alright, I have nothing else to say to you. You may leave now. I hope you act fast."

The mayor silently frowned.

Currently, apart from the Gelin family, the five major families in the city have united, and they have already formed a movement to force Edward's family to abdicate!

The Gelin family's position had been in jeopardy for quite some time. Whether it was in terms of industry or the status of various cities, if the major families joined forces, they could have the ability to replace the Gelin family. What was even more lamentable was that at this most critical moment, a traitor had appeared in his family!

Thinking of this, the mayor's eyes were filled with conflict.

What was his brother thinking? The Gelin family could only truly prosper if they stayed together. And he, Lear, a traitor who turned his back on his family... So what if he relied on this move to gain a higher status in the city? If the Gelin family fell, he would not have a good end either!

It was a pity that his stupid brother would not listen to such words anymore.

"The situation in this city is getting more and more severe by the day. We can't afford to drag this out! After the state assessment, come and report to me immediately!"

"Yes, Lord Mayor!"

Shen Fei held the golden key in his hand and was overjoyed. He had thought that it was a mistake for him to come to the banquet with Aloy. He had not thought that there would be so many unexpected surprises.

Not only did he receive the mayor's recognition, but he also received a lot of cultivation resources. It was a huge gain!

Shen Fei could not be happier. He wondered if there were enough ritual crystals in the mayor's treasure vault... If there was, he could save another few million!

Shen Fei held the key in his hand and hurried to the warehouse.

...

In the hall, Lear stared blankly at the large pool of mucus left on the ground. He sadly picked up the stinky pile and rubbed it on his face.

Seeing this, the few people around him turned green and almost vomited. Recalling the terrifying smell of that spirit beast, everyone present looked at Lear in disgust. They really did not understand why he liked that stinky spirit beast so much. And it seemed like he was not affected by the stench at all.

Li Yuan looked at him in disgust and threw away the handkerchief that he had used to cover his nose. He had only used the handkerchief to breathe for a while, and the handkerchief had turned black.

'Even if he couldn't smell it, wouldn't he be affected by the poison?'

"Don't be too sad." Zhang Youcheng walked to Lear's side and patted his shoulder to comfort him. "There are plenty of spirit beasts like this out there. You can always find another one."

"You sure make it sound easy." Lear glanced at him and looked at the mud in his hand with heartache.

This spirit beast was the one he had chosen from the moment he became a Beastmaster! It had followed him for more than ten years. Lear had not expected it to lose its life at Shen Fei's hands today!

At the thought of this, Lear's hatred for Shen Fei increased. Not only did he snatch away his lovely Aloy, he even killed his spirit beast!

The grudge was formed just like that!

Luo Jin stared blankly at the mud on the ground. He had also experienced such a gruesome defeat once, so he could empathize with Lear.

However, one must always look forward. The three young masters looked at each other in tacit understanding and nodded.

"Let's do it this way." Zhang Youcheng took the initiative to walk to Lear's side. "My family has a separate beast breeding institution. If you don't have a suitable spirit beast on hand, or have not chosen one yet, please come to my family's breeding institution. I will grant you the highest VIP access for you to choose one."

"Would it have the poison attribute?" Lear put down the mud in his hands and turned around to look at Zhang Youcheng.

Zhang Youcheng nodded his head decisively. "Yes, no matter what attribute the spirit beast is, we'll have it in our institution."

"Very well. I shall go have a look then." Lear stood up and dusted off the dirt on his body. He had to think of a way to kill Shen Fei when he returns.

'Shen Fei, just you wait!'

...

"Father is actually willing to give you the key to the treasure vault?"

Aloy stared at the key in Shen Fei's hand in shock. Even she could not casually use this key on normal days!

"That's because the mayor thinks highly of me, his future son-in-law." Shen Fei held the key and felt as high as the clouds.

Aloy smiled and felt happy. 'It seems that Shen Fei has started to accept this identity.'

Shen Fei curiously looked at Aloy. "By the way, are you going back to the Shen family or to the hotel with me tonight?"

"Neither." Aloy shook her head and said, "That annoying guy just left."

"What?" Shen Fei looked at Aloy in confusion. "He doesn't usually live in the mayor's mansion?"

Aloy shook her head. "He's usually not around. He has been traveling alone since I became an adult, and he only comes back a few times during festivals. I heard that he already has another city of his own, and he plays a more important role there. Anyway, when you go from now on, be more careful."

As she thought of this, Aloy looked at Shen Fei's face with worry. "I can see that he's been targeting you."

"Don't worry about that. Leave that for the future." Shen Fei shrugged his shoulders and took the key in his hand to the treasury.

"Young Master Shen, when the time comes, you can just write down whatever you want here."

The butler smiled as he threw a Little Bear to Shen Fei's side. It stumbled up, quickly ran to Shen Fei's side, and took out a form from its stomach.

"I still have some matters to attend to, so I shall be taking my leave first." The butler respectfully bowed to Shen Fei and Aloy before quickly walking away.

Shen Fei inserted the key into the door of the treasure, and with a crisp clicking sound, the treasury door instantly opened before Shen Fei.

An abundant aura of spiritual qi enveloped the two people outside the door. Shen Fei was shocked as he stared into the vault.

The things inside were a hundred times better than what the principal had secretly given him! If the items given to him by the principal were considered world treasures, then the items in the mayor's mansion were even rarer!

Just the two energy amplification stones hanging at the entrance alone could be said to have a price, but no supply.

Aloy looked at Shen Fei's shocked expression and revealed a mysterious smile. This was basically the reaction of every outsider when they saw their family's treasury.

After all, the Gelin family had occupied this city for hundreds of years. It was normal to have many good things.
