On the eve of the peace meeting, Chaos City was calm and peaceful.

However, the messenger pigeons that kept flying out of the city showed that not everyone could sleep well.

The ordinary people might deem this day a holiday. To Chaos City, this was an annual event because Chaos City had been established on this day. Hence, many children were looking forward to the celebrations tomorrow.

Apart from the people in control from all the races, some well-informed merchants also found it hard to sleep now.

The Buffett Manor.

Scheer stood behind Ian, who was fishing under the moonlight. With a worried expression, she asked, “I wonder, what will be the outcome of tomorrow’s peace meeting?”

“Due to Alex’s hard work, the peace alliance was already formed. Even if Andre is still ambitious, it’s difficult for him to create any trouble now,” Ian replied calmly.

“You once said that Andre is a calm lunatic. He can do anything.” Scheer’s brows were still deeply furrowed.

“However, he has never done stupid things. This is why he could make the Roth Empire grow stronger continuously.” Ian smiled. “If he had been a businessman, he would also have been a very successful businessman.”

Scheer was thoughtful.

“In fact, all of us should thank Alex. He is a real warrior. He’s brave and strategic.” Ian looked at the moon on the water’s surface, and lamented, “It’s very hard to imagine that a young man like him who has been through the rock bottom of life restrained the way he uses his power when he is at the peak of his might. He knew very well what he wanted to do, and executed it perfectly. Such a young man is rare.”

“Alex is indeed a very outstanding person.” Scheer nodded slightly. Although she didn’t care much about those so-called powerhouses, this man who was changing the world drastically now still managed to attract her attention.

Once, she thought that she was one of the decision makers among the younger generation. Buffett’s gigantic financial empire gave her plenty of power on the entire Norland Continent.

However, once this world descended gradually into chaos, she discovered that her power wasn’t stable. She couldn’t even make the world change for her.

Meanwhile, the younger generation’s powerhouses like Alex and Irina stood out at this time, and changed the world’s situation with their every move. They gave people no choice but to listen to them seriously.

Ian smilingly said, “Money is the least valuable thing in chaotic times. Only might rules.”

“Money might be useless, but skills are valuable. The trial train route to Vic Mountain is already successful. Once the war starts, we can send soldiers in batches to Vic Mountain.” A smile appeared on Scheer’s face too.

Ian slowly turned around to look at Scheer with an increasingly bright smile. “The point that I most appreciate about you isn’t your sensitivity to finance, but your enthusiasm to innovate and overcome failure.

“I don’t need someone to preserve our business. I need a successor who can bring the Buffett Family into the next great age. I am now sure that you can accomplish that very well.”

“I’ll try to not disappoint you.” Scheer nodded slightly.

“If the peace talks fail, we Buffetts will take out all our money to support the peace alliance,” Ian added.

The Moreton Manor.

Madam Denise went into Jeffree’s study, where Jeffree was sitting by the window, and nervously said, “Master, I heard that times are not good now. Maybe we should hide away? I heard that the Roth Empire might invade Chaos City, so it isn’t a good idea to stay here.”

Jeffree threw a glance at her before coldly admonishing, “Foolish woman. Escaping to Rodu due to the devil’s attack was a last resort. If the Roth Empire is going to attack Chaos City, what if you escape to Rodu?

“We are just businessmen. We also have assets in Rodu, and we’re humans too. As long as we keep quiet, who is going to know?” Denise panicked.

“Our Moreton Family prospers because of Chaos City. How can we escape at a time like this?” Jeffree said gravely.

“Master, if you are not coming, then I will bring Cyril and his family away. My parents’ family has already prepared the flying steeds for us, and we’re setting off tonight,” Denise said with a shifting gaze.

Jeffree flicked a glance at the door, and coldly ordered, “Get in!”

Cyril shrugged, and went in unwillingly. He lowered his head and avoided Jeffree’s gaze. Instead, he hid behind Denise, and softly said, “Father, come with us. Let’s bring all our assets with us. We can still enjoy life in Rodu too. Perhaps our lives will be even better there.”

“Useless creature!” Jeffree threw his cup on the floor next to Cyril’s feet. The tea and broken porcelain went all over his feet.

“If you are not coming with us, so be it. I will be leaving with Mother and the uncles anyway. I won’t die together with this city…” Cyril leaped two steps backwards, and exited the study right away.

Jeffree’s hands and mustache were quivering as he angrily said, “Scram! I will take it that you are not my son!”

“Master, we will wait for you in Rodu.” Denise didn’t want to stay for long, either. After saying that, she hurriedly turned and left.

Soon, Denise, Cyril, Cyril’s family, and a few servants boarded the horse-drawn carriages with bags and cases of valuables, and left the Moreton Manor.

Jeffree leaned back against the chair hard and sighed. He looked forlorn.

“Grandfather, it’s getting cold. Let me brew some hot tea for you.” Right then, a figure came in with a small stove.

The small stove was placed on the coffee table. The charcoal was burning hot, and the copper pot placed over it soon began to steam.

Jeffree looked at Gloria, who was brewing tea seriously, and asked, “Do you want to leave?”

“Where is home if there is no Chaos City?” Gloria looked up at Jeffree. Her grandfather, who always looked stern, looked just like an ordinary old man now. She even felt pity for him after seeing his forlorn expression.

A gleam lit up in Jeffree’s eyes. “You are not afraid?”

“I was a little afraid when we were in Rodu previously, but I am not afraid now.” Gloria shook her head.

A smile appeared on Jeffree’s face. He looked at the teapot. “The tea smells good.”

“It was given by a customer. He said it was harvested from his own plantation. I brewed it once, and I think that it tastes good, so I want to let you try it,” Gloria replied smilingly.

Soon, the tea was brewed.

Gloria poured a cup for Jeffree, and placed it in front of him.

Jeffree looked at Gloria with a calm and serious expression, and said, “Tomorrow, I will declare that you are the new head of the Moreton Family.
