Upon hearing Dustin’s ambiguous answer, Matthias narrowed his eyes and chuckled.
“Logan, my old friend,” he said, “let me be honest with you. I’m just a warrior. I’m skilled in combat but
inexperienced at being a crafty politician.
“I’m especially bad at getting hold of information and have much to learn from Tristan. That is why there are not
many things that I am fully aware of.”
“I see.”
Dustin nodded and continued with a smile, “Actually, His Majesty and Prince Tristan didn’t discuss anything
important with me. They just wanted to catch up since we haven’t met in so long.”
Matthias’ expression hardened, clearly displeased with Dustin’s answer. A bearded military officer next to him shot
up in anger, rebuking, “Rhys!
What do you mean by catching up? Do you take His Royal Highness as a fool? I’m going to take you down!”

“Show some respect!”
Matthias glared at him and scolded, ”
Logan is the Crown Prince of West Lucozia and our esteemed guest. You’d better watch your manners!”
“Your Highness! This guy is leading you on without a single word of truth. In my opinion, he needs to be taught a
good lesson before he talks!” the bearded officer ranted.
“Silence!”
Matthias was furious and slapped him across the face heavily. “If you act out again, I will have you punished by the
military law!”
“Hmph!” The bearded officer was defiant but eventually backed down. However, he gave Dustin a deathly glare,
showing clear hostility.
“Logan, I’m so sorry about that. It’s my fault for not teaching my subordinates well. Please forgive us,” Matthias
said with a forced smile.
“Your general is an outspoken man who acts on emotions. It’s understandable,” Dustin responded lightly.
“Logan, we’re not strangers. Let’s just get to the point.”
Matthias continued with a meaningful tone, “It’s obvious the reason my father and Tristan invited you over was not
to have a catch-up session over tea. You must have discussed something important.
“While I may not excel in other areas, I’m a capable man when it comes to handling matters. If you need any help,
feel free to discuss it with me.”
“Thank you for your kind offer, Prince Matthias, but I don’t require any assistance for now.” Dustin shook his head.
“It’s okay. While you may not require assistance for now, you might just need it soon.” Matthias smiled, then
snapped his fingers lightly.
Following that, the door opened. A group of beautifully dressed attendants brought in various treasures. Among
them were gold and silver jewelry, antique jewels, divine weapons, and even a few rare treasures.

Under the illumination of the lights, the treasures shone brilliantly with a dazzling display. Most importantly, every
single item was a valuable treasure. Simply picking one of them would be enough to make an ordinary person
wealthy for a lifetime.
Dustin looked at the treasures that had piled up like a mountain. The total value of everything was simply
immeasurable. If they were exchanged for cash, it would be enough to build an entire army.
“Logan, we’ve hit it off from the start. These treasures are a gift from me to you, a token of our newfound
friendship. Please accept them,” Matthias said with a smile.
“Prince Matthias, these are too much. I feel unworthy of such generosity. I kindly ask you to reconsider.” Dustin put
on an anxious expression.
“Hey, don’t say that. We’re brothers, and what are a few gifts between brothers? As long as I achieve great success
in the future, you’ll definitely share in the benefits!” Matthias said with enthusiasm.
“I…” Dustin pretended to hesitate.
“No need to hesitate. Just accept it. We’ll be conquering the world together in the future, for better or for worse!”
Matthias patted Dustin on the shoulder.
