Chapter 1866: Chapter 1864: Kingston House Has Almost No Usable People

"I surrender!" After being stunned for a moment, General Xander thought of his family members. He knew that if he did not surrender today, given Prince Harvey’s nature, he might indeed wipe out his family. Then, recalling the great power demonstrated by Prince Harvey, he clenched his teeth and uttered those words.

Peter Brown gave General Xander a long look before nodding slightly, then said to Philips Williams, "Take him to swear an oath."

At that moment, General Xander was truly speechless. Other princes treated him with utmost respect, fearful that he would not submit to them, but why did everything change when it came to Prince Harvey?

With a heavy sigh, General Xander could only follow Philips Williams.

Seeing General Xander’s expression, Philips Williams curled his lips and snorted, "General Xander, you should be glad. If His Highness did not currently lack dependable personnel, even your cultivation wouldn’t catch his eye."

When General Xander heard this, he seriously considered it and realized it was indeed the case. With the display of great power by Peter Brown, he truly was not a significant figure in his eyes.

With this thought, General Xander quickly adjusted his mentality and bowed to Philips Williams, saying, "In the future, I ask for your guidance."

With a laugh, Philips Williams said, "Don’t blame me for not warning you, do you really think His Highness only has that much power? You are mistaken. The inheritance His Highness has received is incredible. Apart from being able to kill those of the Thirty Star Rank, even those of Fifty stars are nothing in front of him. You’ll see His Highness’s methods in time."

What?

At that moment, General Xander was truly shocked; he hadn’t expected Prince Harvey to be so formidable.

While they were discussing their own matters, Peter Brown was talking to Jett Johnson. For Peter, understanding the situation in King’s City as much as possible was of utmost importance.

"How much power do we actually have within Kingston House?" Peter Brown asked, bringing up a crucial issue. The affairs of Kingston House had always been managed by Jett Johnson and others. The previous Prince Harvey had never interfered. If it weren’t for the fact that Jett Johnson was recommended by Prince Harvey’s mother and was so loyal, Jett Johnson would have been poached long ago.

Upon hearing Peter Brown’s inquiry, Jett Johnson sighed and said, "Your Highness, the situation is very bad!"

"Explain."

Peter Brown was already mentally prepared for any situation and didn’t feel surprised.

"Your Highness, since the Father Emperor ascended to Heaven, various powers have come to King’s City to vie for control. Your Highness disappeared suddenly, causing the morale within Kingston House to dissipate. Many people have been poached by other powers, leaving behind those with little capability."

Peter Brown nodded slightly; he wasn’t surprised, as this was to be expected.

"What kind of strength do we still possess? Please explain it well to me."

"Your Highness, starting with Kingston House, aside from your humble servant, Mr. Collins is also still loyal. There are also a few minor officials left. They probably don’t want to leave either, likely because not many people are trying to poach them."

Peter Brown couldn’t help but smile bitterly. He hadn’t expected the strength of Kingston House to have declined so rapidly. Of course, Peter also believed that it was not so much a rapid decline as it was a lack of strong power to begin with.

"Oh, since the Father Emperor ascended to Heaven, the Empress’s days have been very difficult. There have been high officials proposing the idea of the consorts joining in funeral rites, and everyone is currently discussing this matter."

Although the Empress in the Imperial Palace was Prince Harvey’s mother, Peter Brown, after all, was impersonating someone else. Upon hearing this, he frowned slightly, knowing that this matter was likely concocted by someone with an agenda.

"Who is leading this initiative?"

"The Crown Prince!"

Yet again, the Crown Prince!

Peter Brown was now beginning to understand. The Crown Prince’s mother had died, and he had no close kin left. The purpose of this move was probably more about using it to pull the princes to his side. If they didn’t listen to him, he would bury their consorts.

"How many people can we mobilize within Kingston House now?"

"Your Highness, all the experts have already left. There aren’t many people we can count on, though there are still quite a few at the One or Two-Star level."

Peter Brown sighed yet again. The mess left by Prince Harvey was really difficult to manage, and it was only possible for someone like himself, who could defy the odds.

At this time, Jett Johnson was also bitterly smiling. Since Prince Harvey had always shown a lesser disposition, and everyone could see it, it was no wonder few chose to stay.

But now, Jett Johnson was somewhat puzzled by Peter Brown. He couldn’t understand why such a situation had arisen. From what he could see of Prince Harvey now, he was entirely different.

Could it be that he had always been biding his time?

Jett Johnson thought of the situation everyone had guessed about concerning Prince Harvey.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Prince Harvey must have been pretending all along, and now the true Prince Harvey was emerging.

Thinking this, Jett Johnson felt as if he was seeing the light after the clouds had parted. If Prince Harvey truly was such a person, it would indeed offer a tremendous opportunity for him.

"Your Highness, although we do not have much power in King’s City, through today’s events, everyone will henceforth see Your Highness in a different light. You have shown the world your strength, be it in formations or energy bombs, which are not things everyone can possess. The forces that will align with Your Highness will surely come. I’d like to inquire about Your Highness’s next steps in development. What are you thinking?"

"Jett Johnson, you needn’t probe. Since the Father Emperor ascended to Heaven, it represents an opportunity for us princes. No one doesn’t want to take the throne, and I share this aspiration. Our next move will revolve around this idea."

At this moment, Jett Johnson earnestly stood up, bowed to Peter Brown, and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, your servant will dedicate all efforts to this cause. Although Your Highness’s current power is limited, your servant believes it won’t be long before Your Highness will possess great power."

"Indeed, we need not recruit anyone. I also have troops in Wavehider City, and I have already ordered a group to be transferred here. When they arrive, no one will dare touch my personnel. From now on, you all must also operate at full capacity, especially paying attention to the information in King’s City. I wish to know about any and every event that transpires here."

At this time, Philips Williams returned, accompanied by General Xander.
