Chapter 1683
The East End of the Central Sacred Continent was one of the five super-large trade zones.
The five super-large trade zones in the east, south, west, north, and center were each controlled by one of the top
five trading companies.
Splendor, owned by the Lightfoot family, controlled the East End, while Treasure Trove of the Fellowes family
controlled the West End.
There was a very large area at the East End of the Central Sacred Continent.
There were towering mountains and precipitous ridges, lush trees, and wild beasts.
It was the most primitive ecological environment, and countless quaint buildings stood in the center of this area.
This was where the main residence of the Lightfoot family was located.
Shortly after Cornelius’ death…

The nine consecutive loud chimes broke the peace.
Noises started to sound in the originally unusually quiet building complex.
“What happened? The family rang the bell nine times in a row. This hasn’t happened for many years.”
“Who knows? Let’s go quickly! Since the bell rang nine times, something important must have happened to the
family, and we will know what when we get to the main hall later.”
“Let’s go! They rang the bell nine times in a row. This is the most urgent convening order for the family. Anyone
who hears it must rush to the hall as soon as possible no matter what they are doing.”
Many people began to pour out of the quiet and quaint buildings, and they all rushed toward the main hall.
A man in his thirties was sitting cross-legged on the top floor inside a tower of the main residence of the Lightfoot
family.
The nine chimes also woke him up.
The man opened his eyes, showing a trace of doubt.
‘Why did the family issue a convening order now?
“They even rang it nine times.
‘What the hell happened?’
The man wondered for a moment, but he did not find an answer.
However, he did not get up and rush to the hall like other members of the Lightfoot family. Instead, he continued to
close his eyes.
Not long after, a voice came from outside the door.
“Master, the family has issued the highest-standard convening order. Something urgent must have happened. Do
you want to go and see?”
“I’m at a critical moment now, so I won’t go. You should go and see what happened. After that, come back and tell
me,” the man replied with his eyes closed.
“But…”
“No buts! If any elders in the family ask, just say that I’m at a critical moment of breakthrough and I can’t leave. I

“Yes, Master!”
The people outside the door leave.
The top floor of the tower fell into silence again.
This man was Archimedes Lightfoot, the first-in-line heir to the Lightfoot family.
At the same time, he was also top among the young generation of Star Kingdom.
Although he was not as good as the top geniuses, he was already considered outstanding compared to others.
If nothing unexpected happened, the next head of the Lightfoot family would almost certainly be him.
Cornelius was too arrogant out there, but in front of Archimedes, he still had to be respectful.
Cornelius had always wanted to surpass Archimedes.
It was a pity that no matter how hard he tried, he still failed.
Over time, the gap between the two grew farther.
This dealt a severe blow to Cornelius’ self-confidence.
Even after so long, Cornelius was still unwilling to give up on the position of head of the family.
