Chapter 2009: Scheming

At dusk. Location: A large mansion outside the palace. By a small lake, in a pavilion, two figures stood with their hands behind their backs. One wore a purple robe with golden lions, a purple crown on his head, his face stern and dignified. The other wore a silver robe, with sharp eyebrows like swords and eyes like stars, exuding a keen aura. This was Prince Caspian's residence. The two standing by the lake were Prince Caspian and the eldest prince, Salvador Mooney. "Uncle, the Starfall Shop is growing stronger. Zratol, Phoenix Cry City, Heaven Wind City, Maple City, Crane Cry City—all these major cities now have its franchises. Our pill sales have been greatly affected; this month's revenue dropped by thirty percent." Salvador's eyes flashed with a cold glint like an eagle's. Prince Caspian's gaze was deep as water. He said in a low voice, "For him to challenge my decades of development with Everlasting Trade Association in such a short time is truly beyond my expectations."
