When Carol heard Arthur mention the word "forbidden secret technique", her face turned pale.

"You mean," Carol was so scared that she stood up from the bed. She stared at Arthur with disbelief in her eyes.

"You suspect that the child who is competing with my son for the inheritance is the kind of..."

Arthur shrugged helplessly and said, "Who knows? Anyway, let's give it a try. Even if it doesn't seem very impressive, it can still pull out the filth hidden in the altar.

"The spread and severity of the cursed disease are getting faster and faster. No matter what, even the most powerful and fastest drug developer in the empire, Young Master Eric Impes, can only develop new drugs a few days after the cursed disease breaks out.

"What about the lives lost during this period? Who will bear their cost? So developing drugs is just an indicator, but it does not address the root cause."

Arthur paced back and forth as he spoke, his hands in his pockets, analyzing calmly.

"And think about it, it has now been proven that Haines is mixed with filth. And in the years I have been in charge here, no incidents have occurred. It is conceivable that there are huge problems within Atol's ruling group.

"Doesn't this mean that there are filthy things among them? To put it bluntly, if outsiders knew that there were filthy things hiding among them, then no matter what, I would have a huge advantage in terms of inheritance procedures and credibility.

“So I think this is still a good deal.”

Carol became more and more confused as she listened: "Just tell me what benefits I can get after doing this?"

Arthur put his hands in his pockets and shrugged: "I told you, after I inherit this place you can leave and don't have to stay in this sad place.

"If my guess is true, it would be really funny. The Atol ruling group would definitely be devastated and beheaded on the spot for endangering the safety of the empire. I think it's worth a try."

Carol closed her eyes and thought.

Indeed, the series of things that Atole had done over the years had chilled her heart. Although they were still married in name, Atole had now put all his heart on Lisa. He even took away her child...

This is betrayal and a stab in the back.

Carol's right hand clenched into a fist and she looked at Arthur who was waiting for her response.

Her response was a nod.

-

One day, it was Sheen’s 24th birthday.

Leo pushed Florin's wheelchair, and his expression matched that of Florin sitting in the wheelchair. Of course, the Impes couple standing beside them also had the same expression. They all looked surprised.

Scott and Sheen, who were in a completely different style, looked calm. But to their surprise, Eric also looked calm.

Yes, not long ago, Ivan removed the mask and disguised the black magic on the spot and restored Sheen's identity. This was done to avoid future troubles - you know, Impes had been arguing privately for several days to make a choice.

But for the two who knew each other well, such a quarrel was completely useless. So they were eager to announce that Ivan and Sheen were the same person, and that Ivan and Eve were the original body and the clone.

This is for the sake of family harmony in Impes! And also to avoid messing up the plot.

The expressions of the Impes, Leo, and Florin were shocked, which was within their expectations. But if Eric was so calm.

Sheen quietly took two steps back, away from Eric: "When did you find out my identity?"

Eric was playing with Vengas's silver pocket watch (of course, the other members of the Impes family didn't know the origin of this pocket watch, they just thought Eric took it to check the time), and said in a subtle way:

"Ah, I accidentally saw it when Ivan and Stella were having a tryst one day."

Scott and Sheen looked at each other in bewilderment. Oh my goodness, they were talking about how there was one less blueberry on the cream of the dessert in the bamboo basket during the military meeting (the two had a tryst). It turned out that Vengas had stopped time.

Although the door was closed at that time, when Vengas came in, he saw Sheen and Stella sitting in front of the coffee table...

Uh, Vengas (Eric) suddenly got it, got it.

These two are quite good at playing!

"What?" The Impers let out a sharp explosion.

"A tryst?!" Leo and Florin were also shocked.

Their faces almost looked like "It turns out these two have such a good relationship in private" and they almost had an auntie smile on their faces!

However, Sheenscott felt mixed emotions when he saw their expressions:

Please, I really just want to finish the story quickly, fix the plot and return to reality. I don't want to fall in love, get married and have children with the characters in the novel, blah blah.

Unless he (she) is also a realistic person!

It was still Mr. James from Impes who took the lead in holding the situation. He clenched his right fist to his mouth and coughed twice:

"It's okay, it's okay. Young people are full of youthful energy, and it's normal for them to fall in love with each other."

Scott laughed awkwardly: "It's really not what you think."

"What?" James' dark green eyes were filled with watching a show.

Of course, in order not to embarrass the young couple, the Duke gestured to everyone to end the topic:

"Okay, okay, since Ivan and Sean are the same person, there is no need for us to be unhappy about such a small matter. Sean is right, he did this to keep the family harmonious.

"But since Sean is turning 24 today, how can we not celebrate? Of course, the unlucky thing is that it is raining heavily outside today, so Sean can't go back to the Magic Tower to celebrate his birthday with his family. So he might as well celebrate his birthday in Impreza."

Nora, Duchess of Impasse, immediately agreed:

"Yes, yes, it's raining too hard outside, and it's not convenient to leave at this moment. Sheen, why don't you celebrate your birthday in Impess? It will be more lively with more people."

Florin also raised her hand to express her opinion: "Brother Xien, where does he have no relatives? Am I not Brother Xien's cousin?"

"Hahaha." Leo smiled when he heard this and raised his hand to stroke Florin's fur.

Sheen looked out the window.

Indeed, just as Impes said, it was cloudy outside and raining heavily, so rushing back at such a short notice would probably have dampened our mood.

Sheen smiled awkwardly and nodded, "In that case, I'll celebrate my 24th birthday here. Of course, we can just get together for a meal and some cake."

However, Scott looked out the window, put his hands on his hips and said, "Tsk, I've never seen such dark clouds. I always feel like something is going to happen."

Eric snorted coldly: "I hope it's not bad luck--"

blah blah-

The butler came in with Everett, who was wearing a casual cloak and a raincoat. Everett didn't care about etiquette and shouted to Sheen as he ran:

"Xien, something big has happened!"

Scott rolled his eyes at Eric, who felt his toes click into the ground, embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Sheen quickly stepped forward to help Everey take off his raincoat.

Avery gasped, "Xiron, Xiron. He's dead!"
