Philip flew straight backwards and landed heavily several steps away.

"You guy... Are you cheap?"

Su Cheng, who maintained his fist posture, said in a low voice.

"I didn't come to you, but you invited me."

"Alan? Brother? "

"You bastard, what do you mean to call yourself Alan's brother?!"

Su Cheng stared angrily into Philip's eyes as if he were about to burst out a flame.

"You have no right to call yourself Alan's brother!"

"Go as far as you can!"

"Stop jumping in front of me!"

"You guy...!"

Philip, who was sitting on the ground, was stunned for a short time, and his anger rushed to his cheek.

No matter who is suddenly punched by others - especially a man like Philip who has been well-dressed since childhood is suddenly punched by others, he is naturally angry.

Philip, who had never suffered such humiliation, got up from the ground and rushed to Su Cheng.

Su Cheng neither hid nor flashed. He looked at Philip rushing towards him without expression.

Philip grabbed Su Cheng's collar with his left hand, clenched his right hand into a fist, and then hit Su Cheng in the face.

However - when Philip's fist was about to hit Su Cheng's face, his fist suddenly stopped in mid air.

Philip seemed to recall something, with a hesitation on his face and hesitant to shake his fist.

"What's the matter?"

Su Cheng looked at Philip, his fist in the air, and then at Philip in front of him.

The corners of the mouth are full of sarcastic radians.

"Realize that you can't beat the head of Michael's knights?"

Hearing Su Cheng's words, Philip's face turned red with anger.

But his fist still couldn't be waved off.

"Hum!"

After making a cold "hum", Su Cheng shook Philip's hand holding his collar away.

"I tell you, I'm not afraid of your Ryan family."

"I always welcome you to come and trouble me."

"As long as you are ready to make enemies with the head of the Michael knights."

After that, Su Cheng ignored Philip.

Unwilling to even look at Philip, he left and returned to the banquet hall.

Philip was left alone with an ugly face.

……

……

At the banquet, although Kong Nan had been chatting with Ilsa and other people on the field, his eyes had been secretly looking at and observing Gail, the Regent sitting next to Ilsa.

Gail's title of "Regent" existed in name only after Ilsa escaped from the Bank of Yeni River and returned to pandragon.

Although Ilsa still retains Gail's title of Regent, Gail will no longer participate in the discussion and handling of state affairs.

While konnan was still secretly looking at Gail, Philip came back.

Looking at the faint redness and swelling on Philip's face, Kong Nan's eyebrows gradually wrinkled.

……

……

By about 21 p.m., the party was over.

When konnan and Philip returned to their carriage and set off to return to their residence in Pendragon, konnan immediately asked Philip what was the matter with the redness and swelling on his face.

Under the oppression of his father's majesty, Philip obediently and thoroughly reported all the events to konnan.

As soon as Philip's report fell, Kong Nan immediately calmed down and angrily scolded Philip:

"Didn't I tell you not to provoke Su Cheng?"

"You don't know Su Cheng's position in the Empire now."

"As a last resort, we should avoid direct conflict with Su Cheng."

"I really just want to ask Su Cheng how Alan is now..." Philip said calmly.

"When Alan was still in our house, I didn't see you care so much about Alan. Now Alan is not in our house, but you care about her?"

After scolding Philip in a sarcastic tone, Kong Nan stressed again:

"In short - don't have a direct conflict with Su Cheng unless you have to."

"Especially when we are about to start our plan."

"... yes."

Kong Nan looked at Philip with an angry face. Kong Nan sighed.

"It seems... I shouldn't have taken you to Pendragon."

"Philip, you're too young to hold your emotions."

"Let you stay in Pendragon, I'm afraid it will only spoil our great event."

"You leave immediately and return to Leif."

"You're in charge of Leif city."

"It's enough for me to stay in pandragon."

"Remember to be ready to receive my orders."

"If there is any change in the plan, I will send someone back to Leif city to inform you immediately."

"Remember to be ready to escape to the Lorraine Empire at any time."

"I have only one request - when I send my people to tell you to flee to the Lorraine Empire immediately, you should take all your money to the Lorraine Empire at the first time."

"As for the escape route, do you remember?"

"Remember." Philip nodded.

"Just remember. We must follow that escape route. I've managed all the checkpoints on that route. As long as we follow this route, we can escape to the Lorraine Empire unimpeded. "

"Yes..." Philip whispered.

After hesitating for a while, Philip raised his eyes and looked at Kong Nan.

Then he said carefully:

"Father... Are we really going to start that plan..."

"Really... Is it necessary to carry out this plan..."

"Father, the power of our Ryan family has been great, hasn't it?"

"Looking at the whole continent, no business family can compare with us."

"Now that we are so powerful, there should be no need to carry out such a risky plan?"

"Although if this plan is successful, the power of our family can indeed grow several times or even ten times."

"But if it fails..."

Speaking of this, Philip dared not go on.

Kong Nan listened to Philip's words silently.

After quietly listening to Philip's last words, Kong Nan said in a deep voice:

"Philip, I understand what you said."

"But you should also know your father's character."

"I am not a man willing to stop."

"The power of our Ryan family has not improved for a long time."

"I don't want to."

"In order to expand the power of the family, I can do anything bold."

"Just like - I made Alan in order to bring down the hosrod family in the underground arena."

"The power of our family has not been further developed for a long time."

"I'm not willing to let the power of the family stop here."

"Therefore - as long as we can further expand the power of our family, I dare to do anything."
