He returned back inside and his consorts came asking about his well-being.
"Great Prince, today was really too dangerous."
"Get lost! Said looked coldly.
The consorts dropped their things in fright and went inside.
He scoffed, "You people cant wait for me to die eh? If Im dead, your sons will become the new ruler eh?"
At that moment, the grand consort and his mother walked in.
"How is it that Ive heard you were nearly bitten by a tiger today?"
"Mother, its just an animal. Ive already ordered for slaughter."
"Ive told you from the start not to rear these sorts of beings, and you wouldnt take my word."
He looked ahead, lightly holding onto something. He thought, "But that woman today was really intriguing."
"Woman? What woman are you interested in again?"
"The woman that Gu Jingze brought."
The grand consort was stunned. "Youre saying. Ah, that is Gu Jingzes wife. Yes, he wouldnt bring other women, only her. What do you want to do? Dont be rash. Gu Jingze adores her, so be careful not to get into trouble."
"Gu Jingze? Now that its only a tiger with a broken tooth, theres not much use for it. Hes no longer the head of the Gu Clan, so whats there to be afraid of?"
The grand consort stood in front of him and looked at him threateningly. That cold-looking face made Said flustered in an instant.
"Dont forget. You were almost eaten by a tiger with a broken tooth today."
Saids face stiffened.
"Hmph." The grand consort said, "You better be honest these days. Hammond is more convincing than you on the media now, and its all because of your nonsensical doings all the time."
Hammond?
Said paused slightly, gripping harder on the thing he was holding onto.
Lin Che watched the people move the chairs and let out a big sigh when she was out. "I didnt think I would earn a chair like this on my trip here. Can I melt it when I take it back? It makes me feel guilty if I sit on it."
"Since its gifted to you, you can do anything you want with it. However, the craftsmanship is exquisite. This chair took a year to be completed. Are you sure you want to melt it?"
"" Lin Che looked at the "extravagant" chair.
It was a wonder what the Great Prince was thinking.
"Alright, then well just let it sit at home."
Soon, they returned to their accommodation.
Hammond had been waiting for them.
Seeing Gu Jingze return, he went over to ask, "Did he say anything?"
Gu Jingze nodded his head. "Relax, there wasnt any action."
Hammond said, "Then thats good. I was worried he would be hostile to you. Weve been pretty close recently. He may have been wary."
"The Old King is still around. Whats he anxious about?"
Hammond replied, "Recently, there are rumors that Father is receiving treatment for cancer in secret. Perhaps, he has believed them. In any case, I dont. The Great Prince is the successor and perhaps hes being impatient. I personally feel that this is only news let out by Father, just to test us."
Gu Jingze pondered. "I thought you guys have plans to go to C Nation in the near future?"
"Thats right. Weve started preparing and liaised with your oldest brother. We should be going over soon."
