Aska seemed to want to speak but hesitated when he looked at his father.

“If you have something to say, say it,” Rick prompted.

“Father, your health has only just improved, there’s no need for you to go on this trip yourself,” Aska said.

Rick didn’t respond, but lifted his head to look at his son with a calm gaze.

“Do you feel embarrassed being the heir of the Campbell family and having to offer thanks in person?” Rick asked.

Just as Aska was about to make excuses, he met his father’s deep gaze and held his tongue.

“The comfortable life you’ve had since childhood and the flattery of others have made you forget the excellent quality of humility.”

“Aska, I’m very disappointed,” Rick declared solemnly.

“I’m sorry, Father,” Aska said, his head bowed, yet his tone lacked any hint of regret.

Rick shook his head slowly, then after a moment suddenly asked, “Do you know what Silver Fern Grass is used for?”

At Rick’s question, Aska showed a hesitant look, “You know?”

Lady Fern, as a symbol of Zealand, was not a mutant creature, and even up to now, there had been no discovery of any particular properties of Silver Fern Grass.

This clearly didn’t fit the mutation theory of regressive evolution amongst mutant creature populations.

Therefore, to research whether the Silver Fern Grass had any hidden effects, Zealand had poured countless resources, but to this day, there had been no progress.

If his father knew the purpose of the Silver Fern Grass, then…

Aska’s breath quickened at the thought.

“I don’t know,” said Rick, his pale blue eyes watching the convoy that was becoming more distant, “but perhaps they might know.”

“The reason I came here myself was to seize an opportunity for our Campbell family.”

Adding this, Rick’s gaze softened considerably as he gently took Aska’s hand and patted it.

“Sooner or later, I will leave, and the Campbell family will ultimately be passed on to you. That Shao Zifeng is young but has great potential; I hope you can seize the opportunity I’ve fought for this time.”

“By the time that comes, our Campbell family may well be able to return to rule over Britain again,” Rick mused.

Thinking this, a strange light shone in Rick’s eyes. It had been his life’s greatest dream to lead his family back to Britain.

When he and his father had been exiled from Britain, he had sworn that one day he would lead his family back there.

But decades had slipped by, and his ambition was nearly worn away.

Until he heard that the top research teams of Daxia were buying Silver Fern Grass.

“But Father, if you give all the Silver Fern Grass to them, won’t the other families become suspicious?” Aska asked.

With confidence in his face, Rick replied, “Of course not all of it, the Silver Fern Grass on the market is still there; what I sent was just our family’s stock.”

Saying this, Rick patted his son’s hand, “Aska, I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

At this moment, Aska’s thoughts were entirely on the Silver Fern Grass, indifferent to his father’s wishes.

Facing Rick’s words, he replied absent-mindedly.

“I will, Father,” he said.

Rick: ???

You ungrateful son!

…

The journey by land intertwined with the route by water, which was even more remote.

By the time the convoy reached Littleton Port, it was already past nine in the morning.

Mayor Ian, with his beer belly, dutifully opened the car door for Chen Yixin.

In the southern hemisphere’s hottest season, the seaside air’s moisture concentrated the sunlight’s ultraviolet rays, and soon Ian was dripping with sweat.

“Professor Chen, you must stay longer next time; the scenery of Christchurch City will surely meet your standards,” he said eagerly.

“Is Mayor Ian really sincere?” Chen Yixin asked with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

Ian’s chubby cheeks quivered as he awkwardly laughed it off.

“Of course…”

“Ah!”

“There’s a dead body!”

Just as they were about to board the ship, a terrified scream suddenly came from not far away.

The soldiers of the Phoenix Army and the investigators of Christchurch City immediately tightened the circle around them with tense expressions.

Ian grimly signaled an investigator with his eyes, and several of them quickly rushed towards the source of the scream.

Before long, an investigator ran back and whispered a few words into Ian’s ear.

“Are you certain?” Ian looked at the investigator with a serious expression.

“Absolutely certain, we have records of each person here, and since these individuals haven’t been dead for long, their identities were easily confirmed.”

“Alright, I understand,” Ian said with a somber face as he waved his hand dismissively.

“Since Mayor Ian still has official duties, we will take our leave,” Chen Yixin said, courteously speaking a rare polite word to him.

“Professor Chen is too kind, as it happens that recent issue is somewhat related to you.”

“Those scumbags, under pressure, were afraid and committed suicide.”

At that moment, Cang Haiyuan nudged Shao Zifeng with his shoulder, speaking dissatisfiedly, “These guys even dared to provoke us.”

Shao Zifeng raised an eyebrow, “Where do you see this as a provocation?”

“Think about it, if you were about to go on a long trip and your enemy killed a few chickens and threw them next to your car, wouldn’t that be a provocation?”

Hiss.

Shao Zifeng nodded, “That makes a lot of sense.”

If the people behind the club knew this is how you understood it, they would be moved to tears.

…

“Yo~”

On the foredeck of the Snow Dragon.

Shao Zifeng gently held the little deer whose tiny head rested on the railing, gazing out at the azure sea, lost in thought.

He was extremely tender with his actions, afraid of inadvertently hurting the little deer.

Currently, the little deer’s situation was peculiar, with its entire body turned elemental, making it very light.

However, in contrast to the body, the still materialized head was exceptionally heavy.

Its body couldn’t support its head, making it quite difficult for the little deer to move.

Since summoning the little deer, Shao Zifeng had been very careful to protect it.

Fearing it might be blown away by a sudden gust of sea wind.

“Little deer, eat this.”

Shao Zifeng took out the Silver Fern Grass that Yang Qi had bought earlier from his pocket, carefully offering it to the little deer’s mouth.

Having been occupied with tending to the two little ones since boarding the ship, Shao Zifeng hadn’t yet had the chance to inspect the Silver Fern Grass sent by the Campbell family; he only had this one stem on hand.

The little deer, curious, sniffed at it with its delicate nose and then obediently ate it.

Next, Shao Zifeng witnessed a miraculous scene.

As the chewed Silver Fern Grass entered the energy-formed body, streaks of green energy were rapidly absorbed, while the remaining residue passed straight through the little deer’s body and dropped onto the deck.

“Yo~”

The little deer looked puzzled at the residue on the deck.

Qiuqiu watched the little deer with envy.

It extended its pink tongue and licked the corner of its mouth.

If it had this kind of power, wouldn’t it be true that you couldn’t get enough no matter how much you ate, that you could eat whatever you wanted?

That would be too blissful.

Wuu~

The Snow Dragon sounded its deep, muffled horn, and with the help of a tugboat, the vessel slowly left the dock.

“Grr.”

Suddenly, Qiuqiu’s body trembled, and it turned to look at a certain spot in the sky, emitting a low growl from its throat.

The little deer also struggled to turn its head, resting in Shao Zifeng’s arm, looking in the same direction.

Shao Zifeng followed their gazes, but the clear blue sky was empty.

“Wuu~”

Qiuqiu let out a warning growl, its body quivering slightly, and the claws that clutched at Shao Zifeng’s collar tightened.

Mrs. Silver Fern.

Thinking of that exceedingly beautiful figure, Qiuqiu’s battered appearance flashed in his mind.

Shao Zifeng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the negative emotions brewing inside him.

He was too weak now.

Just like Mrs. Silver Fern had said, she wouldn’t care about his hostility at all.

“Wuu~”

Qiuqiu’s eyes reddened, and its low growls kept ringing in his ears.

Shao Zifeng tried to tune in to Qiuqiu’s emotions, and his heart gradually sank.
