The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes
Chapter 1741-1780
The First Heir – Chapter 1741
“Hehe, he won’t buy it?” The guy next to Hector sneered disdainfully. “A loser with a face like that is nothing
but trash!” At this point, everyone burst into laughter again. Immediately after, the bimbo walked over. She looked at
Philip disdainfully and said, “Dude, don’t say that I won’t help you in this matter. I’ll give you two options. Either kneel down and apologize to Hector or throw yourself into the river. You choose!” Philip smiled and sat aside, calmly saying, “Sorry, I don‘t want to choose either.” At this point, Fennel just acted like a passerby who stood aside and watched silently. This petty tiff was just
like kids horsing around. The chicks in this bar were still beautiful and the liquor was decent as well. Hector immediately sneered and said, “Stop bullshtting with him. Once his boss gets here, we’ll get rid of both of them in one fell swoop!” After saying that, he directly dialed the phone number of Angus Wager. A gruff voice came from the other end of the phone, “Young Master Hector Dunley? What is it? Do you have any orders for me?” Hector immediately turned on the speaker so that everyone around could hear him. He said with a smile, “Hello, Angus, I’m at Starlight Bar right now. This place is on your territory, right?” “Wow, really? Are you in Starlight Bar? Tell them my name and they’ll definitely give you the best women! Angus exclaimed. Hector was startled before he quickly explained, “No need.” Why did Angus say this out loud? However, there was no trace of embarrassment on his face. Instead, there was a hint of smugness as he looked at Philip gloatingly. “Oh, I understand. Young Master Hector, I’ll immediately make secret arrangements and make sure you’ll have a good time tonight! But, Young Master Hector, why are you calling me so late?” Angus asked. Hector laughed and said, “I’m in a bit of trouble here.” Upon hearing this, Angus became angry and cursed, “What? Who dares to cause you trouble in Starlight Bar? I’ll bring my men over right away. Damn it, some people are getting out of line!” At Angus’ arrogant attitude, Hector was full of smiles. His triumphant look at Philip also grew more intense. See, only his men would dare to say such things! However, immediately after, Angus suddenly asked, “Does the person who messed with you have a backing?” “Yes!” Hector immediately laughed. Hearing this, Angus fell silent on the other end. However, no one noticed it. Then, Hector added, “He has a boss named Victor Dell. Do you know him?” “Victor Dell?” Hearing this name, Angus’ voice became loud again. “Who the fck is Victor Dell? I haven’t
heard of him. But no matter who he is, since he dares to mess with you, I’ll take him on even if he’s Victor
Bell!”
“Victor Bell? One of the three lords of Uppercreek?”
The bimbo exclaimed on the side. After that, she suddenly showed a smug smile and looked at Philip. This was Angus’ strength and loyalty!
At this time, Hector said, “Victor Bell? Is he very powerful? What will happen if I mess with him?”
“Don’t worry, it’s okay even if you did!” Angus quickly said when he heard that. “Victor Bell is one of the
three underground lords in Uppercreek, but I’ve been running the bar street for more than a decade. Why
would I be afraid of him?” Hearing this, Hector could not help but glance at Philip again. It was obvious he just wanted to show off
Angus’ powerful influence!
Philip felt helpless. He finally could not help but say, “Actually, you’ve misunderstood. I don’t have a boss. The person I called is…”
“Who’s that talking?” Before Philip finished speaking, he was interrupted by Angus on the other end of the line.
The First Heir – Chapter 1742
“That’s the kid who provoked me. Okay, Angus, quickly come over with your men!” Hector looked at Philip and sneered. “Sure, give me ten minutes. I‘ll be there in ten minutes!” Angus said and hung up the phone. At this point, Hector said to Philip, “Kid, to be honest, I can’ t figure it out. Why is a loser like you being
pretentious? Do you really think you can fight me?” Philip sneered and could not be bothered to talk nonsense with Hector. The bimbo followed with a snicker. “He has a reason to be smug. After all, he has a big boss named Victor
Dell!” Faced with the sarcasm and ridicule of the two, Philip was too lazy to argue. Time passed by quickly. Suddenly, five cars stopped in front of the Starlight Bar in one row. The first car was a domineering Land Rover. Immediately after, the car doors opened. One after another, young lads with fierce eyes and crew cuts got down from the cars.
After getting out of the cars, the young lads kept joking and laughing, waving their fists from time to time. Some of them looked around and picked up a stick in their hands as though they were gearing up for a brawl. A guy with a large pot belly came down from the Land Rover. With big sunglasses, a gold chain on his neck, and a fitness ball in his hand, he exuded a vicious aura that intimidated people at first sight!
At this scene, all the passersby around quickly ran away, not wanting to have close contact with these people. When Hector saw them, he quickly waved at the man with a pot belly. “Angus, I’m here!” The man with a big belly was Angus Wager, the overlord of bar street!
When Angus turned his head and saw Hector, he immediately smiled, spread his arms, walked over to Hector, and embraced him like a crime boss. Then, he laughed and said, “Haha, Young Master Hector, long time no
see. But let’s not catch up now. We should solve your problem first!” Hector was about to point at Philip in a hurry. However, Angus stopped Hector. He turned around, looked at the other people in the bar, and shouted coldly, “Seeing that I’m doing my job here, those who have nothing to do with this matter should quickly get lost!” At once, the people who were here for dinner or to watch the excitement stood up and turned around to leave. No one wanted to be involved in this matter. Looking at this scene, the boss of the bar hurried out and tried to act as a mediator. However, with just one look from Angus, two of his lackeys walked up to stop the boss and said, “This is
none of your business. If you insist on getting involved, don’t blame our boss for not showing mercy!”
“I…”
The boss looked troubled. He looked at Philip and then at Angus as well as his dozen young men. Finally, he
sighed and silently stood aside. It was not that he did not want to fight for justice but he still needed to support his family. He simply could not
afford the price of fighting for justice!
Soon, apart from Angus and Hector’s people, only Philip and Fennel, who was sitting and drinking beside
Philip, remained in the entire bar. No one took Fennel seriously. Everyone only regarded him as a backdrop. Angus abruptly sneered and raised a finger to point at Philip. He raised his eyebrows, glared at Philip with
eyes wide open, and shouted, “Are you the one who messed with my buddy?” When most people saw this pomp, their legs would go weak from fright
However, Philip just smiled slightly, looked at Angus coldly, and said with a smile, “It’s me. What are you
going to do about it?”
The First Heir – Chapter 1743
As soon as Philip uttered those words, the bellyful of bragging remarks Angus had prepared earlier got stuck
in his throat!
This was not the first time he had made such a grand appearance. According to previous experience, when he
asked this,
the bolder ones would only manage to speak while trembling. The more timid ones would already balk from fright. However, Philip not only steadily stood up but even
dared to respond to his question directly. This guy was more courageous than the average person!
Despite that, Angus had weathered some storms. In a flash, he came back to his senses. He pointed at Philip
and yelled sternly, “You son of a btch, how dare you act so cocky in front of me? I’ll have you admitted into the hospital today!” As soon as he finished speaking, the young lads he brought with him immediately grabbed hold of the empty liquor bottles in the comer. Those who could not find empty bottles grabbed the stools beside them. Those who had picked up some sticks outside brandished them while pointing at Philip. All of a sudden, a street brawl was about to break out. All of a sudden, a street brawl was about to break out. Just then, Hector spoke up from the side, “Angus, don’t bash him up too badly later. I want to personally teach him a lesson!” “Haha, don’t worry, my buddies have been through a lot of battles with me and know what to do!” Angus grinned menacingly. The bimbo also spoke, “Wow, Angus is so savage, but… I like it!” Angus grinned and said, “Hebe, this is nothing. What’s so savage about this? Boys, charge over and do all the savage things you can think of!” Instantly, the young lads surrounded Philip. Seeing that the empty bottle in the hands of the young man taking the lead was about to smash on Philip’s head, a thunderous bellow suddenly sounded at the door. “Stop it!” The youngsters were stunned by the sudden roar. Angus immediately showed his displeasure. He just said that this group of young lads was experienced in battle, but now they were distracted by a loud shout. How could this be? He immediately cursed, “Damn it, I’m the boss around here. Who the hell are you listening to?” As he said that, he could not help but turn his head to the doorway. Who dared to cause trouble while he was doing his job? Even if the police on patrol in this neighborhood saw him, they still needed to show him some respect! However, when he turned his head to take a look, his face suddenly changed and he could not help but stannner, “M-Master H-Heath?” That was right, the person at the door was none other than Heath. Hearing that, the youngsters dared not move anymore. They put down the weapons in their hands and stood to the side. Although Hector was not very good at reading people’s faces, he could still tell that the person Angus was addressing as Master Heath was no ordinary character. Thus, he immediately put on a smiling face and said to Heath, “So, Master Heath has arrived. We’re taking care of some business here. Once it’s done, how about we have dinner together?” “Shut your mouth. Do you think you’re worthy to eat with Master Heath?” Upon hearing this, Angus quickly turned around and berated Hector, showing no mercy at all. Hector could not help being startled by this and pouted aggrievedly. What did he say wrong? Damn it! Angus was still calling him Young Master Hector so affectionately earlier, yet everything had changed the next second? He was such a scumbag! Besides, he was the young master of the Dunley family. Why was he not worthy of inviting this Master Heath for dinner? The bimbo also felt indignant for Hector but dared not open her mouth. As for the little buddy behind Hector, he looked ready to speak up as long as Hector said the word. Just when Hector wanted to say something, Angus had walked to the entrance of the bar to greet Heath. He said to Heath with a smile on his face, “To what do I owe the honor of you visiting my turf today? Is there something you want to do? Just say the word and I’ll do it for you, even if I have to sacrifice this pot belly of mine!” Seeing this, Hector could not help being taken aback. He finally realized it. This Master Heath was obviously in ore powerful than Angus. Otherwise, Angus would not be so respectful to the other party. However, the next second, only a crisp sound came. Heath had raised his hand and slapped Angus across the face without mercy. Instantly, Angus’ face swelled as five finger marks visible to the naked eye appeared on his cheek. At this moment, everyone present was dumbfounded. The First Heir – Chapter 1744 Angus Wager just got slapped in the face? Of course, the ones who were most surprised were the bimbo, Hector, and his friends. At this time, they stared at Angus with wide eyes. Did Angus not say earlier that he was the rightful big boss in this part of bar street? Did he not say he was not afraid even if Victor Bell, one of the three lords of Uppercreek, showed up? How dare this random Master Heath who came out of nowhere slap him in front of so many people? However, a scene that surprised them even more happened next. After being slapped in the face, not only was Angus not angry but the smile on his face grew bigger. “I deserve this slap. I’ve been worried that there’s no one to whip me into shape and you happened to appear.” That flattering look and his act of sucking up to Heath inevitably reminded people of court jesters who still had to crack jokes in front of the king despite being beaten. At this time, everyone’s jaws dropped to the floor. What the hell was happening here? How powerful could this Master Heath be? After slapping Angus, not only did Angus not dare to get angry but he even had to laugh it off? However, just when everyone thought that this was the climax, Heath spoke. He said coldly, “On your knees!” What? Hearing this, everyone’s faces changed. After getting slapped earlier, Angus had to laugh. Now, it seemed that it was still not enough. This Master Heath even wanted Angus to kneel? The world had gone crazy! Hector could not help but gulp as his gaze fell on Angus. Logically speaking, Angus would not take this standing down anymore. After all, he had just said that he was not even afraid of Victor Bell. However, the next second, a thud was heard as Angus knelt directly in front of Heath without even thinking about it. “What the…” At once, a few muffled shrieks could be heard in the small bar. These were from Angus’ underlings. They had always regarded Angus as a god. They did not expect Angus to be so cowardly today. Who the hell was this Heath? At this moment, Angus suddenly turned around and shouted at his underlings, “Why are you still standing around? Didn’t you hear what Master Heath said? On your knees!” “Do we have to kneel too?” The youngsters were a little overwhelmed. Why should they?! However, on second thought, Angus was quite influential yet even he had to knee! in front of Heath. For punks like them with no background or backing, what right did they have to remain standing? At once, a series of muffled thuds could be heard. All the punks present were kneeling in front of Heath. Heath’s face looked a little better now. Angus quickly said, “Master Heath, did I do something wrong? Please tell me. Otherwise, I won’t know how to improve!” Heath sneered at his words. “It seems you’re not stupid. You know that you’ve done something wrong.” As he spoke, Heath could not help but look at Philip. He was not sure if Philip wanted to expose his identity here. At this time, Philip also sensed Heath’s intention. Philip pondered for a moment. It seemed that there was no need to hide his identity anymore so he nodded lightl The First Heir – Chapter 1745 With Philip’s permission, Heath no longer hesitated and kicked Angus right in the face. Instantly, a size 42 shoe print appeared on Angus’ face. Immediately after, Heath stepped forward and grabbed Angus’ collar, violently knocking his head on the floor three to four times. Only when Angus screamed and his face was covered with blood that Heath grabbed him by the collar again and dragged him in front of Philip. This… Angus was so startled that he even forgot to scream. What did Master Heath mean? Not just Angus but his underlings who were kneeling on the floor were also stunned. Why did he drag the boss in front of this poor loser? The most surprised was naturally Hector and his buddy. The two looked at this scene in astonishment and could not stop their jaws from dropping. Philip Clarke? How was this matter related to him? At this time, Heath grabbed Angus’ collar and said, “Now do you know what you did wrong?” Angus’ gaze shifted between Philip and Heath continuously before asking in confusion, “This kid?” Bang! Heath knocked Angus’ head violently on the floor again before asking, “What did you say?” Angus immediately reacted. “Did I make a mistake because I offended this buddy?” Bang! Surprisingly, Heath slammed Angus’ head on the floor again, causing Angus to see stars. “Calling Young Master Clarke your buddy? Are you worthy?” For a moment, Angus almost wanted to cry. Who the hell was this kid? Even if he was Heath’s friend, it was not too much for him to call him buddy. However, he dared not talk back to Heath. He quickly changed his tone and said, “I know my mistake now. I shouldn’t have messed with this boss!” “That’s more like it.” Heath chuckled and let go of Angus. Then, he raised his head to look at Philip, asking, “Young Master Clarke, what do you want to do with this fatso?” Young Master Clarke? Hearing this, Angus trembled while lying on the floor. He could not be more aware of Heath’s identity. He was the right-hand man of one of the three lords of Uppercreek, Victor Bell. His status in the Uppercreek area was second only to the three lords. However, even a person like him had to address that ordinary-looking loser as Young Master Clarke? What did that mean? It meant that this loser was likely a figure on par with Victor Bell! Had he actually provoked such a person? Goodness! For a moment, Angus simply wanted to stand up and swallow Hector, who was standing there, alive. How dare he make him mess with such a person? Meanwhile, Hector, who was standing at the side, was dumbfounded by Heath’s remarks. What? This Master Heath who pinned Angus to the floor and beat him up so terribly that he dared not fight back actually addressed Philip as Young Master Clarke? Was this guy not a poor loser? Why would someone like Master Heath call Philip Young Master Clarke? This must be a fcking world-class joke!
Hector could not help but glance at Philip, the shock in his eyes apparent.
At this moment, Philip spoke, “This Angus Wager isn’t the main culprit.”
“What? The mastermind is someone else?” When Heath heard this, his gaze tensed as a fierce aura radiated
from his body. He turned his gaze and it fell directly on Hector. “Is it you?”
“Uh… I…” Hector opened his mouth to realize that he was so frightened that he was stuttering. He gulped fiercely and
continued, “This seems to be a misunderstanding…” Smack!
Heath raised his hand and slapped Hector across the face, causing Hector to hit the wall. “Do you still want to
deny it?” Hector almost cried because of this slap. He wanted to say that this was really a misunderstanding. He thought Philip was just a stinking loser. How
would he know that Philip knew someone like Heath?
However, before he could react, Heath grabbed his collar and slammed his face against the wall. With a muffled thud, Hector’s face was also covered with blood. At this time, Heath dragged him to Philip and said, “Young Master Clarke, what do you want to do with this
kid?”
Hearing this, Hector quickly begged for mercy. “Young Master Clarke, this is all a misunderstanding. I really
didn’t want to do anything to you. I wouldn’t dare even if you gave me the guts to do so!” Hearing this, Philip just chuckled. “Didn’ t you ask me to kneel down to apologize earlier? Why are you
saying this now?” Hector was filled with resentment. He was just annoyed when he was at the Concord Hotel today about how a loser like Philip was actually
selected by the Larson family. Now, it seemed that this guy’s identity was not simple. No wonder the Larson family picked him.
The First Heir – Chapter 1746
At this time, Philip spoke again, “Didn’t you ask me to choose between kneeling and jumping into the river?
Are you still letting me choose now?” Hector quickly said, “No, of course not. I was blind and ignorant before this. Young Master Clarke, please let
me off this time!” Philip chuckled, looked up, and his gaze fell on Hector’s buddy. At once, the guy trembled and his legs went weak. He immediately knelt on the floor. “Young Master Clarke, I didn’t mean to do it. Please let me go.” Seeing the frightful looks on these two people, Philip could not help but smile again. To be honest, although these two people had wanted to deal with him, Heath came in time and they did not
end up doing anything. Hence, Philip did not want to go too far. Thus, he said, “Heath, that’s enough. Let’s just leave it at that.” Heath nodded. Then, he turned around, raised his leg, and kicked Hector and the others out of the bar. “Next time, make sure
to keep your eyes open. Also, if you dare to go out and say anything about Young Master Clarke’s identity, I’ll kill you!”
“No, of course not. We’ll keep our mouths shut!”
Angus and Hector said as they scrambled to flee, even forgetting about their cars. What Philip and Heath did not notice was that when Angus and Hector’s group ran to a small alley, Angus
raised his hand and wanted to beat Hector up. However, after thinking about it, he still held himself back. Hector was a member of the Dunley family in Charbury. Although he was just from a branch family, his
identity was still influential. Since he had offended Philip and Heath this time, he was afraid he might not be able to survive in Uppercreek
anymore. If he could take care of Hector, maybe he could go to Charbury instead. At this time, the fear on Hector’s face also disappeared. It had been replaced with deep resentment. “Angus, who the hell is this Heath? Why should we be so afraid of him?” His underlings also looked at Angus in puzzlement. It was too frustrating today. How could they survive if
word of this got out?
Angus could not help but show a wry smile before he said, “Heath is Victor Bell’s right-hand man, do you
understand now?” Hearing this, Hector’s face immediately became very unpleasant. Did Angus not say that he was not afraid of Victor Bell?
Why was Angus so afraid of Victor’s subordinate now, causing him to get beaten up as well? The wound on
his face would not heal within a month!
However, he naturally would not say this out loud. He just snorted coldly and said, “Is that so? I get it. Angus, I don’ t blame you for what happened today!”
Angus sighed. “It’s good that you understand!” Hector huffed and turned to leave. “But I won’t forget about this matter just like this!”
“Do you still want to cause trouble for Philip? Don’t do it!” Angus quickly tried to persuade him. However, Hector had already made up his mind. “Fck, I’m not a local in Uppercreek. I’ll return to the Dunley family in Charbury right after teaching Philip a lesson. What can Philip do to me then? What can that bstard Heath do to me? Even Victor Bell has to watch his step when he’s in Charbury. If he dares to act
arrogant, I’ll take care of him!” Angus paused and suddenly felt that there was some truth in those words. Charbury was larger than
Uppercreek and the waters naturally ran deeper. Angus thought about it again. He could not survive in Uppercreek anymore and would have to go to Charbury
sooner or later. If he could lend Hector a hand this time, he could certainly borrow Hector’s power after
arriving in Charbury. Hence, he quickly said, “What you said makes sense. We can’t just forget about this matter. We must seek
revenge for this. I’ll help you!”
“Really?” Hector stopped in his tracks. Although he wanted to take revenge, he also knew it was very difficult. After all, he had no connections in Uppercreek. However, if Angus helped him, it would be a different story and things would become much easier. “Of course!”
Angus nodded earnestly and said, “I can’t take this lying down. I must take revenge. I think it’s best for us to
make a counter-attack right now. Philip and Heath will definitely not expect it!”
“That makes sense!” Hector raised his eyebrows, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. Meanwhile, Philip was laughing as he walked out of the bar with Heath and said, “Send me back to the hotel.”
“Okay!” Heath drove his Bentley over and set off with Philip. As for Fennel, he had left long ago. The night was precious. However, he had also agreed that he would start
to formally train Philip tomorrow to stimulate his potential. When Philip and the others left, they did not notice Angus, Hector, and Hector’s friends closely tailing behind
them in another car.
The First Heir – Chapter 1747
After returning to the hotel, Philip left Heath a few instructions and went upstairs. He did not notice two sneaky guys behind him watching as he went upstairs. They followed him the entire way, saw the room number, and turned around to go back downstairs. Then, they found Angus and Hector who
were waiting in a car parked at the hotel’s entrance. After listening to his subordinates’ report in the car, Angus sneered coldly. “Young Master Hector, since we
already know his room number, the rest will be easy. Rest assured that I’ll definitely teach that arrogant guy
a lesson for you this time! We’ll make him a cripple and leave Uppercreek immediately. At that time, I’ll have
to ask for your support.” Hearing this, Hector’s eyes exploded with chills as he responded, “Angus, that definitely won’t be a problem. As long as that son of a btch is crippled tonight, you’ll be my comrade for life! With me around, you’ll easily gain a foothold in Charbury!” After talking, Hector took the baseball bat passed by his friend from the back of the car and held it in his hand. Smiling fiercely, he put on the black mask he had prepared! Then, he pushed open the car door and was the first to step down before anyone else. Angus signaled with his eyes and immediately put on a mask with a few of his men before they followed Hector who took the lead. This was an opportunity to die for and Angus would not miss it! When he came to the floor of Philip’s suite, he looked around and found a few bodyguards patrolling outside the corridor. “Damn it! This guy even has bodyguards?” Hector was stunned. Angus was also taken aback and said, “Young Master Hector, don’t worry. This is a piece of cake.” After that, he motioned to his two minions to lure the bodyguards away. The two minions got the signal. They rushed over in a swaggering manner and clashed with the bodyguards. A moment later, those bodyguards were successfully led away by Angus’ men. At this time, Philip heard the commotion from inside the suite and walked out. When Hector saw Philip coming out, his eyes were full of fierce cold intent. He wanted to rush over and beat Philip up right now! However, Angus grabbed Hector who wanted to rush out from the stairway and whispered, “Young Master Hector, don’t be impulsive. If we go over now, everything will be in vain! Listen carefully. I heard a woman‘s voice inside the suite. It must be his wife or sister. We might as well attack the people in the suite! In this world, there’s nothing more painful than when your loved ones are hurt and you fail to save them!” As he said that, Angus showed a treacherous sneer across his face. When Hector heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately looked at Angus with praise. He patted Angus on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Angus, well done!” Angus chuckled and said, “It’s all because of you that I got enlightened.” Hector did not bother to listen to Angus’ flattery. Seeing that Philip had left, he immediately went to the door of the suite with Angus and the rest. They knocked on the door without a word. In the suite, a delicate female voice was heard. “Did you forget your door card?” Following that, the suite door opened. Hector saw the woman standing at the door. How beautiful! Very young too! Anne Foster was standing at the door, blinking and staring at the people in front of her, especially at the young man in front who took out a baseball bat from behind! Anne was shocked and the smile on her face froze as she asked in fear, “You…” “Are you alone?” Hector’s gaze was cold as he poked his head in and looked around. Seeing no one there, he barged in and pointed the baseball bat in his hand at Anne! “Who are you? Get out! Otherwise, I’ll call the police!” Anne shuddered. She immediately understood that these people were probably here to cause trouble for Philip! Moreover, Wynn was resting in the bedroom inside. If these people broke in or saw Wynn, the consequences would be disastrous! While thinking that, Anne blocked the door with her delicate body. Although her legs were shaking, she warned them seriously, “I’m the only one in the room. My boyfriend just went out. Who the hell are you? If you don‘t leave, I’ll shout for help!” The First Heir – Chapter 1748 Once he heard that she was alone and was also Philip’s girlfriend, Hector’s sneer turned malicious! “Hehe, I didn’t expect that kid to have such a beautiful girlfriend. I’m sorry, then. He provoked me so you can go to hell for him, btch!” With a roar, Hector raised the baseball bat in his hand and smashed it on Anne’s head!
Boom!
The bat landed right in the middle of Anne’s head. She directly passed out from that, blood gurgling from her
hair, instantly streaking her pale face with blood. “Fck! Why is this btch so weak?” Hector was taken aback and cursed while kicking her. Wynn, who was resting in the bedroom, heard the commotion in the living room outside. She called out, “Anne, what’s wrong? What’s that noise?”
Immediately after, Wynn stood at the bedroom door while supporting her big belly. She saw Hector and
Angus with his men standing at the entrance of the suite, as well as Anne, who had fallen into a pool of blood
at this moment! “Ah..!” Seeing this bloody scene, Wynn instinctively yelled before covering her mouth tightly!
Swish!
She and Hector locked eyes!
Hector and Angus saw Wynn with her pregnant belly. They were furious. They rubbed their heads while
laughing and cursing. “Fck! That damn btch actually lied to me! This is the real one! She’s even pregnant!
Since the deed is done, I’ll kill you too!” While cursing, Hector’s eyes were already red. He carried the blood-stained baseball bat and rushed at Wynn!
However, at this moment!
Not long after Philip and a few bodyguards chased after the two thugs, they successfully got away. Philip was still puzzled about this when he suddenly heard Wynn’s screams from the suite! “Sht!” Philip shuddered and quickly ran back! Suddenly, he saw several figures standing at the door of the suite. “Who are you?” Philip roared. As soon as Hector was about to rush toward Wynn, Angus saw Philip running back. He immediately grabbed Hector and said, “Let’s go, Young Master Hector. He’s back There are surveillance cameras here too! Run quickly!” “What?” Hector turned his head and saw Philip and several people running along the corridor. “Fck!”
In a flash, Hector yelled and threw the baseball bat in his hand to the floor. At the same time, he turned his
head, gave Wynn a vicious look, and threatened, “Count yourself lucky! But don’t worry, I’ll definitely be
back!” After that, Hector, Angus, and the others quickly fled! At the same time, he looked back at Philip with a sneer
and put up a middle finger at him. Angus and his underlings dragged Hector out of the hotel. They got into the car and headed straight for
Charbury!
There was not a moment’s delay!
Philip rushed to the door of the suite and was instantly stunned!
The First Heir – Chapter 1749
Blood! The floor was covered with bright red blood!
Anne was passed out on the floor! She was covered in blood!
After a brief pause, a heartbreaking cry was heard in the suite. “Anne, Anne!” Wynn recovered from her panic and immediately ran over while holding her stomach!
Philip quickly squatted on the floor, put his finger just below Anne’s nostrils, and felt for her breath. She was
still breathing. At the same time, a few bodyguards in black suits were standing at the door of the suite. They were shocked
by the scene in front of them!
Fortunately, Mrs. Clarke was fine. Philip carried Anne bridal-style from the floor, looked at Wynn, and shouted at several bodyguards, “Contact
the nearest hospital immediately. Also, call Victor to send more men to surround the whole hotel to ensure
Madam’s safety!”
“Yes, Mr. Clarke!” Several bodyguards nodded solemnly and got to work, calling the hospital and Victor. As for Philip, he turned and left with Anne in his arms. Standing at the door of the suite, Wynn saw Philip
leaving and shouted, “I’m going too!”
“Madam, for your safety, please stay here.” Several bodyguards stopped Wynn and persuaded her.
Wynn had no choice but to cry silently, praying in her heart for Anne’s safety. Meanwhile, Victor, who was hosting friends and handling business in Uppercreek, received the call from his
subordinate. “What? Someone attacked the hotel? Anne was seriously injured? What about Mrs. Clarke? Is she okay?” Victor jumped up from his seat upon listening to the words being said on the other line, his face full of shock!
Something big had happened! Someone actually dared to attack the hotel!
Victor was drenched in a cold sweat!
Without even saying goodbye to his friends, Victor left the restaurant and rushed to the hospital. In the hospital, Philip was standing outside the operating room with a frosty face. Victor jogged to Philip and said with a bow, “Young Master Clarke, sorry I’m late. Is Miss Foster okay?” Philip shook his head and said, “They’re carrying out an emergency rescue.” After saying that, he looked at Victor gravely and said, “Find out who did this at once!” Victor was terrified at this moment because from Philip’s body and the coldness that flowed from his gaze, he
knew that Philip was livid!
Although Anne was just an ordinary woman, Victor knew that Philip had acknowledged her as his godsister. Now, she was undergoing emergency rescue! He was afraid that Uppercreek, no, even the entire Penhart
region would face an enormous earthquake from the impact. Victor bowed and said with a nod, “Understood. I’ll look into it now!” After saying that, he immediately contacted his trusted aide. Not long after, a man wearing a leather jacket appeared in the hospital. This man had a dark face and looked
very fierce. His name was Simba, a competent subordinate recruited by Victor. He used to work in related agencies
engaged in professional tracking and investigation!
However, because of a case, he broke the rules to punish a murderer who escaped the law and was fired. Then, he met Victor and had been following him for five years. This person had many means. In his words, he would take care of things that the law could not. His aim was
not to be a hero but to give his conscience and faith a justification. Victor briefly introduced Simba to Philip. Simba bowed respectfully to Philip and greeted, “Young Master
Clarke.” Philip nodded. Victor updated Simba on the current situation. After listening, Simba stroked his chin and said, “The hotel should have surveillance. I’ll go to the hotel to
investigate and see if we can find anything.”
In less than ten minutes, Simba rushed back from the hotel and said to Philip, “Young Master Clarke, I found
something. This is the surveillance footage of the assailant.”
The First Heir – Chapter 1750
Following that, Simba played the video on his phone. The surveillance footage showed the entrance to Wynn’s hotel suite. Two guys ran to the door and clashed
with the bodyguards there, who chased them out. Not long after, Philip followed them. At this time, a group of people wearing masks appeared at the door. Immediately after, Anne opened the suite
door. The leader of the group raised the baseball bat in his hands and hit Anne right on the head!
Subsequently, the footage showed Philip’s arrival and how the group of people ran away. Seeing this, Philip clenched his fists tightly and took a deep breath with chills in his eyes!
He recognized this group of people. It was Hector, Angus, and several others who had clashed with him in the
bar earlier!
He did not expect his show of mercy to bring Anne harm!
Moreover, it could be seen that they were actually targeting him but since he was not around, they went after
the people inside the suite instead!
At this moment, Philip was feeling scared!
If Anne were not around, perhaps it would have been Wynn lying in that pool of blood and Wynn in the
operating room right now!
Damn it!
Hector Dunley, Angus Wager!
They deserved to die!
Just then, a low voice sounded from not far away. A police officer said, “Are you the victim’s family member?
My name is Ross Hogan. From now on, Anne Foster’s case will be handled by us.” Philip looked over and saw a uniformed middle-aged man with an angular face and thick eyebrows. He frowned slightly and asked, “Why are you here?” Ross Hogan glanced at Philip, as well as Victor and Simba, who was standing respectfully next to him. Ross was instantly shocked! He recognized Victor Bell!
He was one of the three lords of Uppercreek!
He was here, and by the looks of it, he had a lot of respect for the young man in front of him. This was not
what surprised Ross the most, though. It was that Simba was also here!
Ross knew of Simba’s reputation and had always admired him!
However, it was later heard that he began working for Victor Bell. Ross initially thought it was a rumor but it
turned out to be true. In that case, it seemed that the young man in front of him should not be underestimated. With Victor and Simba accompanying him, it was enough to see that he had a high status.
Thus, Ross did not take Philip’s attitude to heart and merely said, “We received a report that there was a case
of intentional assault. We’re here to conduct further investigations. Please cooperate with us.” Philip frowned and looked at Simba who immediately explained, “I didn’t notify the authorities.” Then, his eyebrows tensed as he said, “The other party must’ve made the report. They don’t want us to
intervene. They must be pretty confident in clearing their trail and aren’t worried about the involvement of the
authorities at all.” Hearing this, Philip frowned when he realized what Simba meant. Hector Dunley wanted to resolve it through the normal channel and prevent Philip from getting involved. By doing things this way, Hector had room to maneuver.
The First Heir – Chapter 1751
Ross’ face darkened as he said, “Anyway, we’ve taken over this case and we already have the relevant
evidence. We only need to ask a few questions…”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Hogan, I want to handle this case myself. I have a feud with these people,” Philip interrupted
Ross and said, “However, I can provide you with some information. One of them is Angus Wager, a famous
figure in bar street The other one is Hector Dunley from the Dunley family of Charbury.”
“Well, Ada, have you taken note of it?” Ross turned his head and asked a female officer behind him. That female officer looked valiant in uniform. With a ponytail, a delicate face, lightly powdered cheeks, a pair
of sultry eyes, and pouty lips, many men would think of her as a goddess. Ada Sacha nodded and said, “Ross, it’s been recorded. I’ll inform the others and immediately conduct a search
in the entire city.” Ross nodded. Philip glanced at Ada and added, “I suspect that they’ll flee to Charbury. I suggest that you station your
manpower at each highway to stop and check the vehicles.” Ross turned around and frowned. He was a little annoyed by Philip’s order but still replied, “Don‘t worry
about this. We have our own arrangements.” Philip did not say anything else and just looked at Victor. Victor immediately understood. He left the hospital and arranged manpower to be stationed at the various
highway entrances and exits in Uppercreek.
As long as those people were caught, Philip had a hundred ways to make those sons of btches kneel and beg for mercy! Meanwhile, Hector, Angus, and the others were already sitting in the car and heading straight for Charbury. However, looking at the road conditions, Angus, who was sitting on the co-passenger seat, seemed solemn and puzzled as he said, “This doesn’t seem right. Why are there suddenly so many private bodyguards on the road? Young Master Hector, I suspect that these people are here for us.” Hector initially had his eyes closed to rest his mind. Hearing this, he shuddered. He sat up straight and looked out the window at the speeding patrol cars and the private bodyguards blocking the road at various intersections. He was rather worried and said, “It can’t be. So fast? Damn that Philip Clarke. It really seems that he’s not that simple. Sht! I’ll call my father right now. He must have a way. As long as we leave
Uppercreek, the entire country is free for us to roam!” While talking, he took out his phone and dialed a number. Soon, the call was connected. A middle-aged man’s stern and deep voice sounded from the other end. “Hector?
What’s the matter? Is something wrong? Why are you calling me so late?” Hector said, “Dad, I’ve caused some trouble in Uppercreek The police force has already been mobilized. There are also a large number of bodyguards who may be out to catch me!”
“What? You caused trouble in Uppercreek? Who’s the other party to be so capable? Didn’t you tell him that
pick you up. He happens to be inspecting a project in Uppercreek. You can return in his car.”
“Seventh Uncle? Is he in Uppercreek too?” Hector smiled and subconsciously asked, “Dad, is Seventh
Uncle‘s car safe? The streets are full of people who are waiting to capture me now.”
“Don’t you know what kind of power your seventh uncle has? His car is absolutely safe! In Uppercreek, your
seventh uncle is still considered a person of status and position. He even knows Alan Holmes, one of the three
underground lords of Uppercreek. Besides, your seventh uncle is representing our family to talk about
cooperation with the relevant units in Uppercreek this time. It’s a high-level reception and the car belongs to
a sponsor. No one will dare to check it. I’ll call him right now,” his father said with certainty. Hector breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Soon, he received a call from his seventh uncle. “Hector, why are you making your father worry so much?
Did you get into trouble again? My car is parked in front of the Hibiscus Hotel. Come over and I’ll bring you
out of town.”
“Okay, thank you, Seventh Uncle!” Hector quickly ended the call and urged Angus to hurry over.
The First Heir – Chapter 1752
Before long, a group of seven or eight people arrived at the entrance of Hibiscus Hotel. Hector saw a row of
sponsored cars parked in front of the hotel from a distance. Hector immediately trotted over, knocked on the car window, and whispered, “Seventh Uncle?” The car in the middle opened the door and let Hector in. Angus and his men saw this scene and tried to
squeeze in but the convoy immediately drove away, leaving Angus and his men stranded. This scene made Angus completely dumbfounded!
He had been sold out! ‘Fck!’ He had been used by others! “Son of a btch, Hector Dunley, you fcking bastard! I curse your entire Dunley family to hell and back!” Angus exploded in fury while standing there and cursing. However, he also knew that he could not stay here for long. After cursing a little more, he quickly led his men to the car. No matter what, he must leave Uppercreek today. Otherwise, he would be finished! “Follow them! We’ll leave the city with them!” Angus made a last minute decision! However, when the car arrived at the highway toll gate, they saw that there were already seven or eight private cars parked there. Private bodyguards in black suits and several patrol officers were inspecting the cars one by one! Angus watched as Hector’s car was directly released without being inspected. Seeing this scene, his heart almost stopped. He could not help but roar at his underling, “Turn around! Go back and take the rural road! We can use the water route there to get out of the city!” The eight access roads to Uppercreek were all blocked in just ten minutes! Angus was a sensible person as well. After so many years of experience, he could make out the current situation at a glance and immediately chose to take the rural road. No matter how many people the other party had or how powerful they were, they could not block the rural roads. Along the way, the rural road was very dark with lights only coming from a few houses in the surrounding area. After driving for a short while, the smile on Angus’ face grew bigger as he said with a laugh, “Hehe, they want to lock down the city and arrest me, Angus Wager? Dream on! As soon as we pass this turn, we would’ve left Uppercreek!” “Angus, you’re amazing!” “Angus, we’ll rely on you from now on!” “Where should we head to after this?” For a while, his underlings were full of praise and asked about their future plans. Angus thought about it and said, “Go to Golden City. I have a buddy over there.” However, as soon as he said this, the car lurched to a sudden halt. The passengers all crashed into the car windows and seats! Damn it! The scene in front completely left Angus dumbfounded! Even the only rural exit was blocked! At one glance, a dozen black-suited bodyguards and seven to eight cars with the headlights on were completely blocking the intersection! “Fck! How did this Philip Clarke find so many people? He actually blocked all of Uppercreek! We just hit a
nanny. Why kick up such a big fuss?” Angus was stunned. The underling behind him also gulped and asked with a trembling voice, “Angus, what should we do now?
Force our way through?”
The First Heir – Chapter 1753
‘Force their way through?’ Hearing this, Angus turned his head, slapped the underling on the back of his head, and yelled, “Do you want
to die? Force our way through? Open your eyes and see what kind of people they are!” The underling rubbed the back of his head and said aggrievedly, “If we don’t force our way through, are we
just going to sit here and wait?”
“That’s right, Angus. What should we do next? Even the only rural road out of Uppercreek has been
blocked.”
“Angus, you have to think of something. You know a lot of people. There must be a way!” At this time, the underlings could not hold back any longer and kept talking. They were afraid that Angus
would abandon them. Just when Angus was hesitating, two black SUVs with alarms pulled up at the intersection. Five or six heavily
armed people came down from the car!
They were very heavily armed!
Seeing this scene, Angus was completely dumbfounded! “Even the combatants are here?! What the hell is going on?” Angus cursed and added, “Drive and get out of
here. Let’s head back first before we make other plans.” The driver hummed in assent and the rest also kept their mouths shut. However, their faces carried a look of
panic and trepidation. Who would have thought that things would progress to this point?
They had just knocked out the nanny of the other party yet this Philip Clarke actually kicked up such a big
fuss!
Did he not only know Heath?
What means could Heath have?
Even Victor Bell… Could he do this?
Angus kept thinking about it but could not figure it out. His underlings were sullen and kept quiet. Since they
had chosen to follow Angus, they could only follow him to the end now. It seemed that the situation had gotten very serious. They did not want to be captured just like this. Once
captured, they would definitely be miserable. Soon, they returned to the city and stopped at the car wash in the
western suburbs of Uppercreek. The neighborhood was sparsely populated and belonged to a development zone. A large area around it had
been demolished, so there were very few people here. Angus chose this place because he had an old house here that could be used as a temporary hideout. After a
while when everything had died down, he could then get ready to leave Uppercreek. Since they had to hide for a while, they had to buy some daily necessities. Hence, he and his men wore masks
before sneaking into a nearby convenience store. He wanted to buy some food, drinks, and toiletries. However, when they were checking out, they saw that the owner was intently watching TV. What was playing
on the TV was none other than a reward notice!
On the screen, the female anchor was saying seriously, “Half an hour ago, a vicious assault occurred in a hotel
in Uppercreek. After an investigation by relevant authorities and confirmation from the surveillance on site,
the following people are suspected of committing major crimes.” While saying that, the pictures of several people appeared in the upper-right corner. It was Hector, Angus, and
the rest. Immediately after, the female anchor continued, “As the perpetrators are now at large, Uppercreek will offer
up to five million in cash rewards to individuals or units who provide clues or information that lead to the
successful arrest of the suspects!” Seeing this, Angus and the others were all dumbfounded! They were on TV but it was a wanted notice!
Moreover, the reward amounted to five million dollars! Angus’ right eyelid jumped. He never thought that he
would one day be so valuable!
Furthermore, he seemed quite photogenic. At this moment, an underling next to him pointed at the TV and exclaimed, “Angus, look at the TV! We’re on
TV!”
The First Heir – Chapter 1754
This made Angus sweat all over!
Idiot!
As for the owner who was watching TV, he turned his head and looked at Angus and the others who were
wearing masks. He compared them to the faces on TV. Holy sht! It was really them! Instantly, Angus and the others grabbed the things and ran away! The shop owner yelled at them to stop and quickly dialed the contact number. That five million dollars would be his. After Angus and his men ran out of the convenience store, they continued running for seven or eight minutes before stopping at a dim alley. As soon as they stopped, Angus turned around and slapped the underling who had yelled earlier. He gave him several kicks as well while cursing, “Pig! You’re a fcking idiot! That was a wanted notice!” The guy got kicked to the ground by Angus and clutched his face while saying aggrievedly, “A-Angus, I never
went to school. Besides, that’s five million dollars!” Angus almost fainted with anger upon hearing this. He pointed at the guy and yelled, “Are you saying you
want to report me? Or do you want to report yourself? Are you going to say, ‘Hey, I’m a suspect, come and
arrest me. Give me that five million…’ Is that it?”
That underling grunted before saying, “T-That’s not impossible. We didn’t do it anyway. At most, we spend
a few years in jail. After we come out, we’ll have five million dollars!”
“You… Are you talking out of your ss now?” Angus was furious as he went up and kicked him again. Then, he said to his remaining underlings, “This doesn’t seem right. Too many patrol officers have been dispatched. Now, we’re even on TV and the reward is so high. I suspect that this incident is being manipulated by someone. They’re likely trying to accuse us with other charges and make us the scapegoats.” “Angus, you mean…” his underlings looked bewildered and could not figure out what Angus meant. “Damn it, are you really that brainless? We’re on the wanted list and the reward for catching us is so high! We were just accomplices, so why is the reward so high? Something else must have happened and they’re trying to find people to take the blame. We’re taking the blame for others!” Angus was exasperated. Why were his minions more brainless than the other? How did he survive all these years? “But Angus, only the assault in that hotel was mentioned on the TV just now. Nothing else was mentioned,” one underling said dubiously. Smack! Angus smacked the kid on the head and cursed, “Don’t refute my words! I’m saying that’s how it is! Use your brains and think about it. Could Heath kick up such a big fuss? Or Master Bell? Do they have this ability? Someone higher up must be manipulating all this. The aim is to capture us to take the fall. So, we must hide, wait for things to die down a little, and leave Uppercreek quickly.” “Yes, Angus is right!” His underlings realized the situation and nodded, thinking that Angus’ explanation made sense. “In that case, what should we do now? Turn ourselves in? At the most, we’ll be charged with being accomplices. After all, Hector was the one who did it. We have nothing to do with it,” an underling suddenly said. The First Heir – Chapter 1755 Bang! Angus kicked the person who spoke and cursed, “Are you an idiot too? We’re already wanted by the authorities. How can we turn ourselves in? Besides, who’s Hector Dunley? A member of the Dunley family in Charbury! What can happen to him? We’re just scapegoats. As long as we get caught and the Dunley family pulls some strings on their side, we’ll become murderers!” The underlings were terrified when they heard this. At the same time, they also understood that in this situation, they could only run and hide. Only when things died down a little would they have the chance to escape Uppercreek. Angus and his men smoked a few cigarettes in the alley. Then, Angus got up and said, “I’m going to ask a friend of mine to see if he can take us out of the city. The first priority is to leave Uppercreek. As long as we can leave, we can still work hand-in-hand.” “Okay, we’ll listen to you!” The underlings nodded. Angus was the backbone of the group. Angus did not think too much about it either. He took out his phone and called his friend. His plan was very simple. He would reach out to his friend to look at the situation. If that did not work, he would hide in this area. This friend of his specialized in cargo transportation. They had known each other for more than a decade and were close friends. Soon, the call was connected and a familiar voice was heard. “Angus? Why are you calling me?” “It’s me. Have you seen the news? I’m in some trouble and need to get out of the city. Do you have a way to get us out of the city with your goods?” Angus glanced at his incompetent subordinates while asking. “Leave the city? Tonight?” The other party hesitated briefly. Angus got anxious and said, “Eugene, don’t worry. I have a card with my savings over the years. It’s still in my desk drawer and has over three million in it. As long as you help me, I’ll give it to you!” Angus knew that he could not fish without bait. Sure enough, a reply came from the other end. “Okay, it’s not convenient to talk on the phone. Come to my place and we can discuss further when we meet.” When Angus heard this, his face was full of joy. Without saying another word, he immediately ended the call. After that, he took his group of men and left the western suburbs to head to Eugene’s transportation plant. However, just a few hundred meters outside the plant, Angus suddenly asked his men to stop the car and turn off the engine. Then, they just stopped on the side of the road, observing the movement in the plant. “What’s the matter, Angus? We’re already here. Let’s hurry in.” The driver was anxious, afraid of wasting time. However, Angus was very wary. He looked all around him with a dark face and mumbled, “Something’s wrong. Why is it so quiet? By right, his plant should have some shipments at night. Trucks should be coming and going. But look, not a single vehicle can be seen. It’s not right. Something must be wrong.” Angus whispered as sweat dripped from his forehead. “What should we do, then? How about I go down and take a look?” an underling frowned and asked. Angus thought about it and nodded. “Okay, sneak over and see what’s going on in the plant. You must be careful.” “Sure.” After that, the guy got out of the car and ducked low as he stealthily made his way to the entrance of the plant. Inside the car, Angus and his men stared at the guy intently. As soon as the guy entered the door, he was pinned down by a few people inside! “Sht!” Angus cursed and roared, “Quick, run!” The driver immediately got ready to flee!
However…
Pop, pop, pop!
Instantly, all the spotlights on the high beams around the plant were turned on. The entire plant was as bright
as day now!
Angus’ car was also completely exposed under the light! At the same time, he saw that dozens of trucks
around the periphery of the plant had turned on their high beams, all of which were shining on their car!
For a while, Angus and his men could not open their eyes under the headlights. All of them held their hands
up to block the blinding light. Meanwhile, a group of people walked out of the plant.
The First Heir – Chapter 1756
Soon, Angus and his men were dragged down from the car by a group of truck drivers. At this moment, Angus knelt on the ground and yelled hysterically at the fat man in a suit who was standing
in front of him, “Eugene Cain, you betrayed me!” The fat man smiled and said, “I’m sorry, friend. I didn’t want to, but you’ve messed with people who
shouldn’t be messed with.” Hearing this, Angus’ heart went cold as he roared, “Why? Did you betray your friend for five million dollars?
Don’t forget, I was the one who helped you make a fortune back then. Without me, you wouldn’t be here
today! You ungrateful son of a btch!” “Hehehe…” Eugene sneered and said, “Angus, you’re wrong. I’m not doing this because of the five million dollars. You don’t seem to understand the situation yet. Now it’s no longer a matter of just the five million dollars. Even the streets have issued a pursuit notice against you. Do you know how much it is?” The streets? Could it be Victor Bell? “How much?” Angus asked coldly. Eugene raised a finger and said with a smile, “100 million dollars, and if you get caught, another 50 million dollars!” Boom! At this moment, Angus was stunned! Completely dumbfounded! ‘100 million?’ ‘And another 50 million if he was caught?’ It was so much money that even Angus could not help but want to arrest himself! No wonder Eugene would betray him. Who would not b e tempted by such a high reward amount? However, would Heath spend 100 million dollars to catch him? Was it Victor? Impossible! Absolutely not! How much was Victor worth? Why would he spend 100 million dollars to catch him? Was he crazy? Angus simply could not figure it out. He had only followed Hector and severely injured a nanny. Besides, he was not even the one who did it, so why was the other party biting onto him? “Angus, I’m sorry, but I can’t resist 150 million dollars. I can totally enjoy the rest of my life with this money,” Eugene grinned and said at the same time, “Of course, I have to thank you for this opportunity. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of your mother and wife.” Hearing this, Angus laughed and yelled, “Eugene Cain, go to hell! I won’t give myself up!” With a roar, Angus struggled to get up from the ground and ran away! However… Boom! A black shadow flew over and kicked Angus on his stomach. Like a cannonball, the latter flew back and crashed into the car heavily. The window of the side door shattered and the door was also dented. Angus spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. The person who kicked Angus looked at him indifferently and said to Eugene, “We’ll take him away. The money will be remitted to you later.” “Yes, thank you, Master Bell. Thank you, Young Master Clarke.” Eugene bowed and smiled at the several men in black suits. Philip had already received the news from Victor. “Young Master Clarke, we’ve captured him, but something went wrong,” Victor bowed and said. Philip frowned and asked, “What happened?” The First Heir – Chapter 1757 Victor immediately said, “We’ve caught Angus Wager and his underlings. They’ve been locked up and can be interrogated at any time.” “So?” Philip’s eyes narrowed slightly. Was this not good news? Why did Victor say that something was wrong? Victor looked at Simba next to him. The latter understood and said straightforwardly, “According to the news from the scene, Angus admitted that the one who made the move was Hector Dunley. However, Hector left Uppercreek in a car from one of his seventh uncle’s sponsors and is heading back to Charbury. Moreover, according to the news we received, Hector’s seventh uncle is quite influential in Uppercreek and knows many people.” As soon as he finished speaking, Philip’s eyes burst into cold light. I-Ie stared at Simba and asked, “A sponsor’s car? Why wasn’t it checked thoroughly?” Simba helplessly glanced at Ross Hogan who was talking to his subordinates and said, “This matter should be explained by them.” Philip looked at Ross coldly. Ross seemed to have just received a report from his subordinates. He walked over and said to Philip and the rest, “According to the information we received, Hector Dunley has already gotten into one of his seventh uncle‘s cars and left Uppercreek. Mr. Clarke, you don’t have to be agitated. Now that we have evidence, we’ll definitely bring Hector Dunley to justice. Even if he escapes back to Charbury, we’ll catch him. There are just some minor hurdles to be resolved, so please be patient, Mr. Clarke.” Hmph! Philip snorted and glanced deeply at Ross, who was in front of him, as well as Ada Sacha, who was behind Ross. He said, “I can handle this matter myself. I don’t need your help. If you really want to help, just wait for my orders.” Ross’ face tensed as his expression quickly crumbled. He had never come across a victim’s family who dared to say such words! Who did Philip take Ross for? He even wanted to order them around! Ada also had a cold look on her face at this moment. She stared at Philip indignantly and said, “Mr. Clarke, I hope you’ll pay attention to your words. We are the city’s…” However, before Ada finished speaking, Ross interrupted her and said to Philip, “We can understand your feelings, but since we have taken on this case and it has also caused a lot of impact in the local area, we have to follow up on the investigation. Even if you know a lot of people, we still hope that you won’t take matters into your own hands and trust us instead.” Philip was indifferent. He took out his phone, dialed a number, and said lightly, “Contact the mayor of Uppercreek for me. I need their unconditional cooperation in arresting someone.” “Yes, Young Master, I’ll arrange it right away.” On the other end, George Thomas’ cordial and gruff voice was heard. When Ross and Ada heard Philip’s arrogant words, their expressions slightly darkened. Ada really could not stand Philip’s attitude at this moment. Who did he think he was? Ross frowned and was about to say something when his phone abruptly rang. He frowned and glanced at the caller ID. It turned out to be a call from Mayor Winter! Ross quickly picked up the call and asked with a respectful and serious expression, “Mayor Winter, what can I do for you?” On the other end of the line, a stern and majestic voice said, “Ross Hogan, from now on, you will take orders from Mr. Philip Clarke. You’ll do whatever he tells you to do. No matter what kind of cooperation is needed, you must obey unconditionally.” The First Heir – Chapter 1758 Hiss! Hearing this, Ross was dumbfounded. He looked at Philip in confusion and asked, “Mayor Winter, what do you mean?” On the other end of the phone, Peyton Winter took a deep breath and said, “Ross Hogan, don’t ask any more questions. All you need to know is to follow orders. After this matter is over, I’ll give you an explanation.” Since he had put it this way, Ross also understood that the young man in front of him had a very special identity! Could he be the son of a hidden affluent family? Did he represent a certain level of identity? Ross ended the call with a frown before he said respectfully to Philip, “Mr. Clarke, I’m at your disposal.” “Huh? Ross, what are you talking about?” Ada, who was behind him, dropped her jaw. Her eyes were full of shock. Ross was notorious for not bending to the influential, but now, his attitude had changed with one phone call. “Ada, don’t ask what you shouldn’t and just obey orders,” Ross said. “O-Okay.” Ada’s beautiful eyes swept over Philip. Who on earth was this guy? Philip nodded slightly before he turned around and looked at the tightly closed door of the operating room. At this moment, the door of the operating room opened and the surgeon came out while looking tired. He took off his mask and respectfully said to Philip, “Mr. Clarke, we tried our best. The patient’s situation is very critical and her brain has been injured. Our medical equipment is limited, so we need to transfer her.” “Transfer?” Philip frowned and said, “No need for that. Someone will come over later to take over. You just need to vacate the largest ward.” The doctor was taken aback and said, “Mr. Clarke, is someone going to take over the operation? The patient’s current condition is very dangerous. Unless it’s one of the few expert neurosurgeons in the country, the patient won’t last long. I suggest transferring her to Golden City…” However, before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a rumbling helicopter above his head. All the doctors and nurses in the hospital, as well as some patients, were stunned. What was that sound? Then, all of them ran out of the hospital. At the entrance, they saw a helicopter hovering in the sky! At the same time, a dozen doctors in white coats walked in from the entrance of the hospital. Although many of these people had gray hair, the doctors in the Uppercreek hospital were all dumbfounded the moment they saw them! It was because the old man in the lead was none other than the top neurosurgeon in the country, Danny Baxter! “This… He’s Danny Baxter. He actually came to our hospital. What is he doing here?” The group of people quickly discovered that the person behind Danny was also another expert neurosurgeon in the domestic medical industry, Professor Stan Marshman! This medical team of a dozen people consisted of top neurosurgical specialists in the country! Those who could be named were all well-known medical bigwigs in the country, heroes of the medical field! Why would these people appear in this small Uppercreek hospital today? What the hell was going on here? However, the next scene left everyone dumbfounded. The medical team led by Danny walked up to Philip. Danny said, “I’m Danny Baxter. It’s nice to meet you, Young Master Clarke.” The First Heir – Chapter 1759 All the medical staff of Uppercreek Municipal Hospital was shocked by this scene! Terrifying! The people in front of them were all iconic figures in the domestic medical field. At this moment, they were so respectfully bowing to the young man in front of them. For such a lineup of medical personnel, it would be almost impossible to find another group of people in the country who could be compared to them. Moreover, there was still a hovering helicopter above their heads! For a while, all the medical staff looked at Philip with awe and suspicion. The identity of the young man in front of them was definitely something special. He obviously looked so ordinary, though. How could he have the means to gather such a team of medical experts in such a short time? Philip left the hospital and appeared in Victor Bell’s office. Victor had stayed up all night as he dared not be negligent at all. Due to Anne’s accident, he dared not be careless and had sent all his men to search the entire city before they eventually caught Angus and his gang. Moreover, he was still troubled over Hector Dunley’s matter. After all, the other party had already escaped from Uppercreek and was heading straight for Charbury. If he returned to Charbury, he would be beyond Victor’s reach. The waters in Charbury ran too deep for Victor to intervene. Although Victor was one of the three underground lords of Uppercreek, he was no one in Charbury. Philip stood in front of the large French window with his hands behind him. He was looking at the night view outside that was filled with neon nights. Victor stood behind Philip and said in a solemn tone, “Young Master Clarke, Charbury is a complicated place and the Dunley family is an old family in Charbury. Their power there is second to none. I’m afraid that it’ll be difficult to capture Hector Dunley with our current means.” Philip frowned. The window reflected his unpleasant expression as he asked, “How so?” Victor immediately explained, “Charbury is different from Uppercreek. Charbury is a large district with eight sub-districts. Moreover, Charbury is a large ancient town with a thousand-year history. There are many powerful families and localities there. Even now, the families in Charbury are related to each other. Since ancient times, the Dunley family has been a big family in Charbury with the largest number of people and the strongest clan backing. Although Hector belongs to a branch family, he’s still a descendant of the Dunley family, after all. They won’t leave him in the lurch. If we target Hector, the Dunley family will not sit idly by.” Hearing this, Philip’s expression darkened before he sneered and said, “Are you saying that if we capture Hector, we’ll inevitably clash with the Dunley family? And at that time, we may even make enemies out of the entire Charbury?” “Yes, Young Master Clarke. Although this is unlikely, it’s difficult to say for sure. After all, none of us knows where the Dunley family stands,” Victor said solemnly. It was obvious that Victor did not want Philip to go to Charbury and offend the entire Dunley family just to deal with Hector Dunley. It was just too risky. It was not as simple as dealing with an individual person or a company. The families in Charbury had very complicated relationships. Dealing with one family might cause seven or eight other families to jump in. If they wanted to deal with the seven or eight families, they could very well end up having to face all the families in Charbury! Philip remained indifferent after hearing this and merely said, “Okay, I understand.” After that, he took out his phone, dialed George Thomas’ number, and said coldly, “George, help me contact Hector Dunley’s father.” “Yes, Young Master. I’ll make the arrangements now.” George immediately agreed. Soon, George found the contact number of Hector’s father and sent it to Philip. The First Heir – Chapter 1760 Without hesitation, Philip dialed the other party’s number. The call was quickly connected, and the person on the other end asked in confusion, “Who are you? Why do you have my personal number?” “Homer Dunley, I’m Philip Clarke,” Philip said flatly. “Philip Clarke? I don’t know you. Did you dial the wrong number?” When Homer heard this, he frowned and wanted to end the call. However, Philip’s next sentence startled him. “Your son, Hector Dunley, injured my god-sister and is fleeing back to Charbury.” “Hector?” Homer frowned. After contacting his son earlier, he learned that he had gotten into trouble in Uppercreek after injuring a female nanny. He did not think it was a big deal then, so he did not ask much about it. However, the other party’s god-brother had taken the initiative to approach him now and was even able to get his private number in such a short time, which meant that the other party’s influence was not small. It seemed that this matter was not that simple. After thinking about it, Homer said, “So it’s about this. My son was indeed a little heavy handed and did something wrong, but it’s inevitable for young people to be a little impulsive. As his father, I’ll definitely take full responsibility. You can ask for any compensation you want. As long as I can do it, I’ll definitely satisfy your demand. What do you think?” Homer had always pampered his son. Since things had progressed to this point, he would naturally take the responsibility for his son. It was just money, anyway. The Dunley family had plenty of it. As long as the other party did not pursue the matter, he could afford to fork out a few million dollars. However, the only thing he had overlooked was that he did not know Philip‘s temper and background. He thought that the name of the Dunley family could suppress everything and everyone. Upon hearing Homer’s words, Philip sneered as his eyes burst with cold intent. He stated at the neon night view outside the window and said, “Since you want to settle it privately, my condition is also very simple, tell Hector Dunley to get the fck back to Uppercreek right now!” On the other end of the phone, Homer went silent upon hearing Philip. His face was slightly cold. He did not expect the young man on the other end of the phone to be so arrogant!
After a while, Homer enunciated each word, “Hector is still young, so it’s normal for him to make mistakes. There’s no need to go after him for such a small matter. Moreover, you should give him a chance to repent. Since you could find my private number in such a short time, it means that you’re not an ordinary person. Let’s do this. I’ll compensate you five million dollars and this matter is over. He just hit your god-sister with
a baseball bat. It’s nothing. Five million is a lot. You should learn to give in.” However, Philip’s face on the other end was very unpleasant, especially his eyes that could cause heart
palpitations to those who saw them. He said coldly, “Five million? If you tell Hector to get the fck back right now, I’ll give you 50 billion! I just want his life. How about that?” The First Heir – Chapter 1761 “50 billion?” Homer was startled before his expression turned cold and he said solemnly, “Young man, are you kidding me?” 50 billion dollars was a sky-high amount even in Charbury! Even as the richest family in Charbury, the Dunley family would be tempted by such an astronomical figure. Homer’s face was very gloomy as he added, “I’m discussing a solution with you. Don’t you think it’s a bit too disrespectful of you to talk to me like this? Also, do you even have 50 billion dollars? To tell you the truth, five million is my limit not a single cent over this number. If you want to make a move on my son, I’m afraid it’s difficult to do so.” At this point, Homer was very angry. The other party was clearly trying to scare him and taunt him by naming out 50 billion. Homer was already being very generous by offering five million dollars, but the other party did not know What was good for him! “Hehe, Homer Dunley, are you saying that you don’t want to hand the person over?” Philip’s eyes were icy-cold as he directly questioned. Homer snorted and asked, “Hand him over? He’s my son, and I naturally have a say about his well being. Aren’t you very capable? Well then, you can bring my son back to Uppercreek yourself. As long as you can bring him back, I won’t intervene on his behalf and will leave everything to you! However, I have to remind you that the waters in Charbury run deep. Be careful not to drown yourself!” “Hehe, I’m relieved to hear that. In that case, I won’t have any concerns about making a move on your Dunley family, then. This is what you asked for!” Philip laughed, and that laughter made Homer tremble! The waters in Charbury ran deep? It would seem that way for a small fish. However, Philip Clarke was a dragon in the deep abyss. How could a small Charbury drown him? “Good! Let’s see what abilities you have to go up against me!” Homer said coldly. He wanted to say a few more threatening words but the other party directly ended the call. “Damn it!” At this moment, in a brightly lit and sizable villa in Charbury, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face looked utterly unhappy. He stared at the phone in his hand and cursed, “Philip Clarke of Uppercreek? Hehe, let’s see what means you have to dare to challenge the Dunley family of Charbury!” “Ernie!” Homer Dunley, who was dressed in a dark gray casual outfit, pondered for a moment before he shouted in the direction of the door. Soon, a man with steady footsteps and a chilling gait walked in. He bowed and said respectfully, “Patriarch, how can I help you?” “Go to Uppercreek and look into a guy named Philip Clarke. I want all his details. Go now!” Homer commanded with a cold voice. The dark-skinned Ernie who had an unfriendly face and a build of a strong bull nodded, saying, “Yes.” He was about to turn around when Homer added, “Wait. If you encounter any problems, you can contact Alan Holmes in Uppercreek directly. Just say that Homer Dunley needs his help. Also, if you find out that the kid named Philip Clarke is just bluffing, you can…” Homer made a swiping gesture across his neck. Ernie understood and turned to leave. After Philip ended the call, he stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the night view outside the window as he instructed Victor, “Immediately contact all the people you can mobilize. Chase after Hector Dunley and bring him back to me at all costs!” “Yes, Young Master Clarke.” Victor bowed and replied. The First Heir – Chapter 1762 He knew that his strength alone was not enough to bring Hector Dunley back. However, he dared not resist Philip’s order or make any excuses to reject him. After thinking about it, Victor made a suggestion. “Young Master Clarke, based on the current situation, it’ll be difficult for me to intervene in the affairs in Charbury. The foundation of the Dunley family in Charbury is too solid and I may not be able to bring Hector back in a short time.” Philip nodded and said, “You can just assist me in this matter. I have my own arrangements.” After that, he dialed George’s number and said, “I want to overthrow Homer Dunley’s lineage in Charbury.” Philip still had his limits. Since this was a problem that involved only Homer Dunley and his son, it was enough to punish their family without involving other innocent people. On the other end of the phone, George looked grave. He had just investigated the Dunley family and obtained a lot of background information. The Dunley family of Charbury was no ordinary family but one who used to have a round table meeting with the Clarke family back then. He was afraid that this matter would not be that easy to deal with. However, if Philip was only dealing with Homer and his lineage, perhaps it would be easier. If they were to go against the entire Dunley family, they might need to pay a huge price for it. It might also bring about resistance from within the Clarke family. “Young Master, I have to remind you that the Dunley family is not to be trifled with and they have some connections with the Clarke family. Are you sure you want to target Homer Dunley and his lineage?” George had no choice but to reconfirm. Philip’s face tensed. For George to say this, it meant that the Dunley family was by no means just a simple affluent family. However, he had made up his mind and no one could change it. Philip said coldly, “Regardless of anything else, I want the lineage of Homer Dunley to kneel in front of Anne and admit their mistakes to her.” Hearing this, George understood and immediately nodded as he said, “I understand. I’ll make the arrangements. If we encounter resistance, we’ll have to rely on the family’s power.” Philip said, “There’s no need to utilize the family’s power. If you run into trouble, just tell me and I’ll deal with it.” George was startled before he smiled and said, “I understand, Young Master.” It seemed that the young master had grown into a big dragon and already had his own power. Would it be enough to confront the Dunley family, though? After saying that, George looked at the several men and women around him. They were all inside a manor. He said, “You’ve heard the young master’s intentions. You can put forward your opinions now.” These men and women were all elite talents selected by George Thomas from various industries and companies of the Clarke family. They were meant to support Philip’s succession as the head of the family in the future. All of them were rare prodigies, and in certain aspects, had extraordinary potential and strength as well. These people looked at each other until one of the men said, “Mr. Thomas, this matter is actually very easy to handle. Since the Dunley family is subservient to the Clarke family, we don’t require the consent of the elders of the family. We only need to use the Clarke family’s prestige to suppress the Dunley family and it’ll be easy to deal with Homer Dunley’s lineage. I doubt that the Dunley family will offend the Clarke family just because of a minor branch family.” Subsequently, several others also put forward their respective opinions. George nodded and said with a smile, “Let’s do as you suggested. Immediately notify the Dunley family that Homer Dunley’s lineage was disrespectful to the Clarke family and harmed the young master’s younger sister. The Clarke family will issue a kill order against Homer’s lineage. If the Dunley family stands in our way, they will be an enemy of the Clarke family!” The First Heir – Chapter 1763 In Homer Dunley’s villa in Charbury. At this moment, Homer was in the living room, sitting on a luxurious leather sofa while sipping on warm tea. Next to him, his son Hector was venting angrily, saying, “Dad, that damned Philip Clarke even tried to stop me in Uppercreek. Hehe, I must get him back for this!” Homer glanced at his son and said unhappily, “That’s enough! Do you have any idea how much trouble you’ve caused? He has already contacted me just now!” Hector was taken aback before saying in an unperturbed manner, “He contacted you? Did he ask to settle it privately or something? I just injured a female nanny. It was just one knock and she passed out. It’s her fault for not being physically fit enough to resist a beating. Besides, there’s nothing remarkable about Philip. He just knows a guy by the name of Heath, who happens to be a subordinate of Victor Bell in Uppercreek. Even if Victor personally came to Charbury, there’s no thing to fear! This is the territory of the Dunley family!” Homer glared at his son coldly. He had pampered him too much, which caused him to have his defiant character today. However, he shared his son’s thoughts. It was just Victor Bell from Uppercreek. If he came to Charbury, he would be akin to a stranded whale waiting to be butchered. After a while, Homer said, “This matter won’t be that easy to solve. Victor contacted me a few minutes ago. It seems that he has no intention of letting either of us off the hook. You should stay at home for now and not go anywhere. Just tell the butler if you need anything and he’ll arrange it for you.” “Dad, what’s there to be afraid of? This is Charbury, the Dunley family’s territory. Do we need to be afraid of them?” Hector was puzzled and yelled at the top of his lungs. With resentment in his eyes, he added, “Besides, I haven’t gone after Philip Clarke yet. If he dares to come to me, I’ll have him die in Charbury!” “Idiot!” Homer cursed angrily and glared at Hector as he said, “It was the wrong decision to let you go to Uppercreek to make contact with the enforcers of the Nonagon. Since Philip was handpicked by the Larson family of Fernvale, he’s definitely not an ordinary person! If the Larson family interferes in this matter, do you know how serious the consequences will be?” “The Larson family?” Hearing this name, Hector also panicked instinctively and said, “Dad, it can’t be. Why would the Larson family interfere in this matter? Isn’t the main Dunley family…” “Shut up!” Homer bellowed, “The relationship between the Larson family and the main Dunley family is not something you can speculate. All you need to do is stay at home. Don’t go out if it’s not necessary. If things really progress to that point, I’ll naturally ask the main family for help.” At this point, a ringtone interrupted Homer’s next words. He looked at the caller ID and answered the call. He looked unhappy as he said discontentedly, “What‘s going on? Why are you calling me in the middle of the night? Didn’t I say not to call me after nine o’clock at night?” “Chairman, something has happened to the company! Watch the TV, the local news channel” A flustered and anxious voice came from the other end of the phone. Homer’s expression darkened as he quickly asked Hector to turn on the TV and switch to the local news channel. An interview was playing on the screen. A bunch of people had gathered at the entrance of Homer Pharmaceutical and there were many reporters too. At a glance, there were no less than a hundred people on site! “This is an emergency broadcast. According to the informant’s report, Homer Pharmaceutical is manufacturing counterfeit health care products that have harmed tens of thousands of elderly people in the city. Let’s go to the scene right now.” Subsequently, the anchor took the microphone and interviewed the elderly people at the scene. The First Heir – Chapter 1764 “Homer Pharmaceutical, return my hard earned money! You bunch of cheaters!” “Homer Pharmaceutical has victimized old helpless people like us. They say we can live up to 99 years old if we use their health care products. But now, several of my friends have been hospitalized after taking their products!” “The chairman of Homer Pharmaceutical, Homer Dunley, once promised us that we can get dividends if we buy their health care products like buying shares. Now that we’re here for the dividends, they’re giving us all kinds of reasons and excuses. They even got hooligans from the streets to drive us away. Sometimes, those people even lay a hand on old men and women like us!” Hundreds of elderly people appeared on the camera. They were standing in the cold wind, frantically condemning Homer Pharmaceutical. Seeing this scene, Homer could not help but smash the remote control in his hand. Then, he picked up the phone, dialed the number of the general manager of the local news channel, and yelled, “Mr. Pearce, what’s the meaning of this? Why did you suddenly arrange for your staff to interview the people in front of my company? You’re even broadcasting it on TV directly. Do you know how much damage you’re causing my company?!” On the other end of the phone, a middle-aged man’s voice was heard. “Chairman Dunley, don’t be so imprudent. It’s not my intention to do so, but your company has internal problems. We only went to interview them after receiving a report from a whistleblower.” “Bullsht! Neal Pearce, you’re doing this on purpose! Have you forgotten that you have two units of dividends
from my company? If something happens, you won’t get any benefits! I’m now ordering you to get your
people out of my company!” Homer was furious, and his eyes full of chills. This damned Neal Pearce was clearly doing this on purpose!
Neal laughed and said, “Mr. Dunley, I can return the two units to you. After all, I’m doing this for fairness
and justice. I have my duties to fulfill.” Hearing this, Homer’s face tensed as he said coldly, “What do you mean by that? Are you trying to jump ship?
Or are you asking for more units? Okay, I’ll give you four units to suppress this matter! Get all those reporters
to withdraw!” However, Neal just said, “No need for that, Mr. Dunley. You can keep the four units to yourself.” Hearing this, Homer’s face darkened as he said, “Neal, don’t joke with me. I’m asking you again. Are you
going to suppress this matter or not?”
“No!” Neal said bluntly before he added, “Mr. Dunley, you’ve messed with the wrong people. This is just a small
lesson from the other party. More lessons are waiting for you. I hope you can survive this.”
“Neal Pearce, are you threatening me?” Homer was furious. He stood up from the sofa and asked fiercely, “Who made you do this? Tell me, I’ll personally go to him!”
“Hehe…” Neal sneered, saying, “Mr. Philip Clarke.”
The First Heir – Chapter 1765
The instant he heard this name, Homer was stunned!
Philip Clarke?
How could it be?
That man only had some influence in Uppercreek. How could it reach Charbury?
Moreover, Homer Pharmaceutical was one of the top companies here with many supporters behind it. By
doing this, it was tantamount to challenging Homer’s patience and prestige, as well as challenging the
company’s backers! “Neal, don’t you fcking bullsht me right now! How could Philip’s hand reach Charbury?” Homer’s face
grew colder with deep resentment in his gaze. To his surprise, Neal grinned and said, “Mr. Dunley, I’m afraid you don’t understand. Your four units of
dividends are nothing compared to the benefits they promised me. Besides, it’s also difficult to determine how
long Mr. Clarke’s hands can reach. I can only give you a word of advice, don’t be too pretentious and look
down on others. This Mr. Clarke is likely to be the jinx in your life.” Hearing this, Homer was very upset. However, he could not be too harsh on Neal and could only go with the
flow. He said, “Well, even if he has the ability, we’re in Charbury now and due respect must be given. Are
you really going to do such things that’ll harm your own interests? Don’t forget that I’m Homer Dunley of the
Dunley family. If something really happens, can you afford the consequences?” The anger in Homer’s chest almost burst!
However, he still had to put up with it for now. Plenty of evidence of his wrongdoings was in the hands of
Neal Pearce!
“Hehe, Mr. Dunley, you don’t have to threaten me with such words. I’m not a local from Charbury. Mr. Clarke has promised me that after this matter is over, I can go to Uppercreek where a bigger company is
waiting for me. It’s no less than what you’ve given me.” Neal said with a smile. The meaning behind this was too obvious. Homer gritted his teeth, a chill flashing on his face. He said word by word, “I’ll offer you ten million dollars
and ten units. You must suppress this matter for me!”
“Ten million dollars and ten units? Mr. Dunley, even a miser like you can be generous for once, huh? I’m
really surprised by that.” Neal laughed heartily at the other end of the phone before he added, “But I think you
should know one thing. Mr. Clarke has said that no matter how much you offer, he’ll offer three times as
much. Listen clearly, he said he’ll give me three times more. So, Mr. Dunley, you might as well offer more. Just think of it as you’re doing me a favor.” Three times?
Homer was completely speechless now. Philip Clarke was a lunatic! “Neal, do you think the other party can afford to pay such a high price? What if this is just a scam and he
double-crosses you in the end?” Homer sneered and asked rhetorically. This was a wonderful tactic of inciting
doubts. However, Neal was sitting in his office chair at this moment, looking at three large silver suitcases in front of
him that were filled with banknotes. Neal smiled and said, “Mr. Dunley, you may not be aware of this but he has already honored his promise. Let
me show you.” After that, Neal ended the call, took a video with his phone, and sent it to Homer.
On the screen, Neal was seen squatting in front of three large silver suitcases. Holding his phone, he said with
a grin, “Mr. Dunley, as you can see, these are all real banknotes. Thank you for your offer just now. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to get 30 million dollars.” Seeing this scene, Homer got angry and switched off the phone.
The First Heir – Chapter 1766
“Damn it! How dare Neal Pearce pull another trick on me at this point?! Once I regain my foothold, I’ll make
sure his life is worse than death!” Homer cursed. On the side, Hector could not help but say at this moment, “Dad, that Neal Pearce is nothing but a cunning fox. I never had a good impression of him before. But he has so much evidence against us in his hands, what
should we do? Why don’t we expose him first? That way, that old fogey won’t have the chance to deal with
us.” Homer pondered before saying, “Nonsense! What a lousy idea! Even though he’s done this to us, we can’t
retaliate this way! You have to remember that Neal Pearce is not the only one who has a partnership with our
family. If we expose him at this time, what will our other partners think?” Homer was still rational and knew that this absolutely must not happen. Otherwise, not only would he lose Homer Pharmaceutical but he and his son would also be ruined! “Then what should we do now? If this and that won’t work, are we just going to watch our company
collapse?” Hector was anxious. Homer took a deep breath. For the first time, he felt that Philip was a little tricky to deal with. Moreover, it was the middle of the night yet the man could still influence the local media in Charbury so
quickly!
He had some means!
While thinking of that, Homer’s face darkened as he said, “I’ll give your seventh uncle a call. He should have
a way to deal with this matter.”
Hector’s seventh uncle was the person who safely brought him away from Uppercreek, Milo Dunley. His status and influence in Charbury were quite significant. Moreover, he also had some say in the main
Dunley family. Soon, the call was connected and Homer went straight to the point. “Milo, something has happened. Have you
watched the news?”
“I just watched it.” On the other end of the phone, Milo did not seem nervous at all but said with a laugh, “Just
give Neal Pearce a little gift for a matter like this. It’s no big deal. Don’t be afraid to spend money. Just think
of it as spending money to eliminate disasters.” Homer laughed wryly and said, “Milo, I just contacted him and he remains resolute. He insists on continuing
with the exposé. If this continues, I’m afraid Homer Pharmaceutical will have no choice but to shut down and
declare bankruptcy.”
“What’s going on? What’s Neal thinking? Does he want money or more dividend units?” Milo was also
slightly surprised. “Neither.” Homer shook his head and said, “He’s received an offer from others and the amount is a lot more. The other party also promised to settle him down in another place.”
“Okay, I understand. I’ll deal with it.”
It was rare for Milo to become so serious. After saying that, he hung up the call and dialed Neal’s number. At this moment, in an office of a TV station in Charbury’s Flower City, Neal Pearce was sitting with his legs
propped up. He was happily drinking tea. The floor in front of him was full of banknotes. He was in a good mood! He never thought that money would come to him so easily!
Suddenly, the phone in front of him rang. After seeing the caller ID, Neal’s face darkened as he frowned. Sure enough, this was really happening. After answering the call, Milo’s voice sounded from the other end. “Neal Pearce, you should be a sensible
person. I just want to say this. If you want to mess with Homer, I’m the first to disagree! Of course, I know
that it’s every man for himself. I can give you another option. No matter how much money you’ve taken from
the other party, I just need you to broadcast the news two to three days later. How about it?”
The First Heir – Chapter 1767
Hearing this, Neal immediately said with indignation, “Mr. Dunley, as you know, we’re talking about 30
million dollars right now. If you want me to take the money without doing anything, won’t that be wrong of
me?” Milo sneered and said, “You can still do what you need to do, but I’m just saying that you can delay the timing
a little. You can broadcast the incident about Homer Pharmaceutical three days later. Now, tell those reporters
of yours to withdraw. It’s not like the party behind you wants you to bring down Homer Pharmaceutical
tonight, right?” Neal was taken aback, and his eyes darted about. What Milo said made sense. It was certainly possible. If he did things this way, he would not offend the Dunleys nor Philip. This was the
best of both worlds. After thinking about it, Neal’s heart began to waver. When he was hesitating, Milo spoke again, “Neal, since you’re in Flower City, you should understand what
kind of place Charbury is. Here, the Dunley family is king. If you help outsiders to mess with my Dunley
family, you should know what the consequences are! So, I advise you not to go too far. Otherwise, even if you
escape to the end of the world, the Dunley family will not let you off!” This sentence was full of threats. Upon hearing that, Neal’s face turned pale as he said solemnly, “Milo Dunley, are you threatening me?”
“Hehe…” Milo sneered and said, “No. Everyone has a way to make money. I won’t stop you from making a fortune, but
you have to give my fourth brother a little time to react and prepare. I don’t want to see any more reports on
this matter tonight. Whatever has been done, leave it to our public relations to handle it. As for the rest, I hope
you understand what to do.” After saying this, Milo ended the call. In the office, Neal’s face was pale. Holding the phone tightly in his hand, he bitterly smashed it on the floor
and yelled, “Damn you, Milo Dunley! Sooner or later, your entire family will be destroyed!” Philip received a call from George who said, “Young Master, our plans have been halted. The other party
received 30 million dollars from us but is trying to find a loophole with the timing. We estimate that the
broadcast on Homer Pharmaceutical will be delayed until three days later.” Philip’s face was grim as he said, “No matter what you do, I want Homer Pharmaceutical bankrupt tonight!”
“Understood, Young Master. I’ll make the arrangements.” George hung up the phone, looked at the dozens of
elites around him unhappily, and said, “I received a call just now. The plan against Homer Pharmaceutical in
Charbury was stopped. We must figure out a solution as soon as possible. The young master is in a bad mood. We must do whatever it takes to bring down Homer Pharmaceutical!”
“Yes, Mr. Thomas!” Hearing this, everyone frantically sprang into action. In a flash, information on the entire Homer
Pharmaceutical, as well as the background information on Homer Dunley and Milo Dunley that included their
interpersonal relationships, was collected!
In Homer Dunley’s villa. At this moment, Homer’s face looked very unpleasant. Although he had just received a call from his seventh
brother that things had eased, he was still a little flustered.
The reason was simple. Philip’s tactics had somewhat caught him off guard. He did not expect the other party to be so heavy handed. He directly forked out 30 million dollars to deal with
him. Who the hell was this guy?
He actually had such financial resources to take out 30 million without blinking!
Moreover, the speed was too fast! He bought Neal Pearce over so quickly!
The First Heir – Chapter 1768
Seeing the frown on his father’s face, Hector smiled and said, “Dad, what are you thinking about? Stop
worrying. Hasn’t the matter been resolved for now? We have three days. Besides, with Seventh Uncle around, who dares to do anything to our family?”
“Fool! Don’t you understand by now?” Homer glared at Hector angrily and shouted, “30 million dollars! Can
you take out 30 million dollars to squander just like that? Moreover, the other party bought off Neal Pearce
in just a few minutes. What kind of strength and means does it take to act so quickly within the boundaries of
Flower City in Charbury?” Hearing this, Hector was also taken aback. Yes, it was 30 million dollars. If he spent all that money just like that, he would be heartbroken. Moreover, the other party directly bought Neal off within ten minutes after talking to his father. It could be
seen that his strength was not to be underestimated. Hector thought about it and said with a snigger, “Dad, maybe he just knows Neal? Aren’t we getting ahead of
ourselves? Flower City, including the entire Charbury, belongs to our Dunley family. What else do we have
to worry about?” Homer shook his head helplessly and said with a sigh, “Son, it’s not that I’m thinking too much. I can’t help
feeling that things won’t be that simple this time. Don’t go out for the time being. Wait until things are settled
before we talk about it.” Hector dared not refute his father’s order and said with a nod, “Okay, I got it.” However, Homer still reconfirmed, “Hector, are you sure the person you injured is just a nanny?”
Hector was unconcerned. “Yes, I wanted to target his wife at first, but the nanny deceived me and said she’s
Philip’s girlfriend, so I acted. I later learned that he has a wife who’s pregnant. That woman is just the nanny
he hired.” Homer shook his head and said, “No, that woman is his god-sister.”
“God-sister?” Hector was surprised before he sneered mockingly, saying, “I think it’s a different kind of
god-sister than the one we know. This kid is really something else, keeping two chicks by his side. I have to
say, both the young lady and his wife are really good looking. Especially his wife, she’s the most beautiful
woman I’ve ever seen. Even though she’s pregnant, her figure and poise are not something normal people can
compare with!” When he said this, Hector unconsciously licked his lips with a lustful look in his eyes. He regretted it a little
for not making a move on Philip’s wife. Having such a woman should be quite enjoyable. As if he understood what his son was thinking, Homer glared at Hector bitterly and yelled, “Such an
unpromisin g fellow! If not for you, would our family be in trouble now? You should reflect on your actions. How much trouble have you caused me?”
“Hehe, Dad, I know I was wrong.” Hector laughed nonchalantly. Homer shook his head helplessly. After that, he suddenly remembered something and asked, “How did your
meeting with the enforcers of the Nonagon go?” Hector quickly said, “Dad, I’m afraid this won’t work. The four enforcers have very indifferent attitudes
toward us. Besides, the Larson family has already selected Philip Clarke. If not for this, I wouldn’t have
clashed with him.”
“What about the spot for direct access? Did you find out anything about it?” Homer asked again.
If they could enter the Nonagon, the status of their family would rise. At that time, they might be able to rank
higher in their internal family’s ranking. Perhaps, they might even get a chance to be absorbed into the main
family.
The First Heir – Chapter 1769
Hector shook his head and said, “I didn’t find out anything. The four enforcers of the Nonagon this time are
different from those before. They’re keeping information on the direct access spot under a tight lid. Many
families ran around asking about it but no one got any definite news. However, I have a friend who heard from
the grapevine that the direct access spot this time has already been taken.” Hearing this, Homer asked in surprise, “It’s been taken? Have you found out who it is? What price did the
other party pay?” Hector still shook his head and said, “Since this is a rumor, how can I find out? As for the price, it hasn’t been
revealed yet but it’s at least ten billion dollars.”
“Ten billion?” Homer’s face darkened as he exclaimed. “Ten billion was not a small amount!” Even Homer Pharmaceutical was only worth over a billion dollars. If he put together all his family assets, it would only total to about two or three billion dollars. It was far from
enough. It seemed that the talent selection of the Nonagon was a lost cause this time around. Homer looked disappointed and helpless as shook his head. He said, “Forget it. It seems that we stand no
chance to enter the Nonagon.” Hector asked, “Dad, is this Nonagon really that powerful? Why are so many people trying so hard to get in?” Homer rolled his eyes at his stupid son and said solemnly, “You don’t understand the power of the Nonagon, so I don’t blame you. But what I can tell you is that even a thousand affluent families in this world are not a
match to the Nonagon. The influence and forces behind it are definitely not something we can contemplate and
imagine.”
“They’re that amazing?” Hector was startled and looked doubtful. “Yes, the existence of the Nonagon is to stabilize all major events in the world. No matter who it is, to enter
the Nonagon is to enter the torrent that can control and operate the major forces in this world. Do you want to
be a small potato or do you want to enter this endless torrent that can control everything?” Homer asked. Hector said directly, “The torrent, of course. ” Homer nodded, looked at his son approvingly, and said, “It seems that you still have some great ambitions. My son, the power of the Nonagon is absolutely beyond our comprehension. You just need to understand that
even the Dunley family has to humble ourselves and bow down in front of such a behemoth, okay?”
“What?” Hector was stunned. To him, the Dunley family was the overlord that ruled over the sky!
Now, his father was telling him that a giant like the Dunley family was just an ant in front of the Nonagon. Unbelievable!
Terrifying!
Only then did Hector understand why his father had been obsessed about sending him into the Nonagon over
the years. However, he did not seem to be a fitting candidate. “Dad, I’m sorry to disappoint you,” Hector said.
Homer smiled and said, “It’s okay, it doesn’t matter. Even if you can’t enter the Nonagon, our family still has
a foothold in Flower City. It’s enough to keep you rich and prosperous for several lifetimes. But you have to
change your attitude and stop causing trouble everywhere, understand?” Hector nodded and replied, “Understood.” Homer was just about to get up when his phone rang again. Suddenly, Homer panicked. Looking at the caller ID, it was the company’s number!
After answering the call, Homer asked solemnly, “What’s the matter this time?”
“Chairman Dunley, something big has happened! Many people are coming to our company and asking to
return the goods for a refund!” The person on the other end of the phone sounded very anxious. Hearing this, Homer’s face darkened as he cursed, “Are you a bunch of fools? Do you have to report such a
small matter to me? Just deal with it how you always have! If they want a refund, just give it to them.”
“No, Chairman Dunley, it’s different this time!” The line sounded very noisy. “About 400 to 500 people
have surrounded our company requesting to return the goods for a refund. There are more people coming as
well! Our company will lose at least 50 million dollars this time!”
“What? 50 million dollars? What the hell are you talking about?” Homer got a shock and stood up from the sofa with cold sweat on his forehead.
The First Heir – Chapter 1770
Was this a joke?
50 million dollars?
His company’s market value was only over a billion. 50 million dollars was equivalent to cutting one of his
arms off!
If they accepted all the refund requests, what would they do tomorrow?
Continue to process refund requests?
In that case, his company would go bankrupt immediately!
Homer finally realized the severity of this problem and quickly asked, “What the hell is going on? Why are so
many people coming to ask for refunds? Is there a problem with our product? Isn’t it just an ordinary
tranquilizer?” Homer Pharmaceutical was in the business of health care products. Their medicine was neither good nor bad,
it was just a normal tranquilizer. It would indeed have some effect on the elderly, but they would not live to
99 Years old. Besides, these lonely old people were easy to cheat. As long as their salespeople said some flattering words
and visited them a few times, the deal was done. Moreover, they had rebate contracts. Many elderly people would fork out their life savings for their
retirement.
Homer was not afraid of getting into trouble either. After all, they were just a bunch of old men and women. If something happened, he had a way to take care of them. He would just resort to intimidation and threats. What could a bunch of old people do?
Furthermore, his family enjoyed a certain status in Flower City. Many people knew about their underhanded
activities but chose to close one eye. Now, with so many people coming for refunds, someone was obviously messing with them behind their
backs!
The person on the other end of the phone was also confused and said, “Chairman Dunley, we don’t know
what’s going on either. This group of old men and women are blocking the entrance of our company now. Moreover, they arrived at the scene in chartered cars. There are also no less than 20 or 30 bodyguards in
black suits at the scene protecting these old people. Our people dare not do anything at all!”
“What did you say? Chartered cars and special bodyguards?” Homer was dumbfounded. What the heck was this?
“Damn it! Hurry up and find out who’s behind this!” Homer cursed. He was almost going mad from anger! “Okay, we’ll talk to them now.” The person on the other end of the phone nodded repeatedly and hung up. In less than ten minutes, Homer’s phone rang again. As soon as he answered it, there was a heart piercing
scream from his subordinate. “Chairman Dunley, it’s over, we’ve been beaten up! There are too many of them
and they’re all ruthless. Before we could say anything, the other party immediately made a move!”
“What? How could this be? What exactly did you say?” Homer asked. “We hadn’t even said anything. The other party has a man from the Northeast who asked us what we were
looking at. We also have a grumpy man from the Northeast on our side. They just started squabbling back and
forth. Then, the fight broke out.”
“F*ck!” Homer roared and dropped the phone. Philip Clarke must be behind this!
He quickly dialed Ernie’s number and said gruffly, “How long before you reach Uppercreek? The order has
changed. Kill Philip Clarke immediately!”
The First Heir – Chapter 1771
On the other end of the phone, Ernie said tersely, “Master, I’ve arrived in Uppercreek.”
“Good!” Homer said coldly, “Find that kid immediately and kill him!”
“Understood,” Ernie responded and ended the call. At this moment, he was sitting in the dark car, smoking a cigarette. The scarlet tip of the cigarette looked
particularly eye-catching at night. After sitting for a while, Ernie observed the surroundings through the car window. He looked at the hotel
where a dozen people were guarding the entrance and looked up. This was the hotel where Philip was staying. According to the young master, his pregnant wife was in this
hotel. Menacing intent flashed from the corner of Ernie’s eyes. He glanced at the people patrolling around as a sneer
appeared at the corner of his mouth. Such an arrangement could indeed deter many people. However, Ernie was different. He was an expert at
assassination, someone who had survived from the edge of the sword. These people arranged by Victor Bell were nothing more than moving targets in his eyes. Ernie inserted a dagger that glinted with a cold light between his legs and used his pants to hide it. Then, he
took out a Desert Eagle from the bottom of the car seat and inserted it into the back of his waist.
After that, he put on a mask and a broad hat. After his preparations, he pushed the car door open. He threw the
cigarette to the ground and stomped on it heavily. It was drizzling in Uppercreek and there were not many
passersby or pedestrians. Ernie walked to the hotel’s front entrance. As he approached, he suddenly turned around and walked toward
the back entrance of the hotel. He took advantage of the night to feel for an open window. After looking around, he took out a tool from his
pocket, pried open the window, and entered through the opening. Thud!
The muffled sound of him landing was very light. He was in a lounge for hotel employees. Ernie crouched down, grabbed a staff uniform from the bench, and changed into it. Three minutes later, he very calmly walked out of the lounge while pushing a small dining cart. He walked
along the corridor until he reached the elevator. On the way, he would smile politely whenever he met any bodyguards on patrol. Nobody found Ernie
suspicious. Ernie smoothly got into the elevator and pressed the button for the floor. Half a minute later, the
elevator door opened with a ding. Ernie pushed the dining cart and walked out calmly. In the corridor on this floor, he found a bodyguard stationed every three to five steps apart. Two rows of
black-suited bodyguards were protecting this floor securely. Basically, two bodyguards were standing guard on both sides of every suite door. At the suite at the end, eight
burly men with sharp eyes were standing at the entrance.
Ernie’s appearance instantly made the bodyguards alert. However, they just glanced at him without a second look. Ernie pushed the dining cart and came to the door of a room. He rang the doorbell and shouted, “Room service. Your food is here.” Soon, the door opened. The lady inside wore a bathrobe and was wiping her wet hair. She said with a puzzled
face, “I didn’t order any room service.” Ernie smiled and said politely, “Complimentary from the hotel.” The woman frowned slightly before she turned sideways and said, “Come in, then.” Then, with a bang, the door was closed. Ernie took advantage of the woman standing with her back toward him and took the knife from the dining cart. He stabbed the woman in the back firmly and accurately while covering the woman’s mouth with a white
towel. Although she struggled and screamed, no one outside heard her. The woman fell, her back completely
drenched with red while her eyes were still wide open. Ernie glanced around the room calmly. He then walked to the vent in the room, moved the table and chairs, and removed the vent cover. He jumped up and got into the ventilation channel. Following the map in his head, Ernie slowly crawled forward. As he passed through several vents, he could
hear sounds of pleasure from men and women as well as other noises from the rooms.
Finally, Ernie stopped at a vent and looked down. In the room, a woman with a big belly was anxiously talking on the phone. “Philip, how is Anne? Is she
okay?” Ernie sprawled at the vent opening, looking down at the woman who had a charming back.
The First Heir – Chapter 1772
He found the target. He bit the dagger in his mouth and observed the situation in the room. No one seemed to be in the room except
for the target. Then, he slowly removed the vent cover. He waited until Wynn walked to the living room and jumped into the room through the vent opening. The faint noise was masked by the thunder outside. Ernie crouched down as he looked around. Holding a
shining dagger in his hand, he approached the woman in the living room who was on the phone with her back
facing him. At this moment, Wynn was completely unaware of the danger approaching behind her. She was still on the
phone and said anxiously, “Philip, we must cure Anne. This only happened to her because of me.” At this moment, Ernie was already right behind Wynn. The dagger in his hand was aimed at her neck. However, suddenly!
A cold female voice rang in the room. “Who sent you here?!” Boom!
This sudden sound made Ernie’s movements halt in the air!
He turned around and saw a woman sitting on the living room sofa. She was wearing a black leather jacket and
leather pants. She had shoulder length hair and a valiant appearance. There were two butterfly blades on the
coffee table. She was holding a revolver in her hand that was aimed at the center of his eyebrows. All the hairs on Ernie’s body stood on end!
There was someone else in the room. However, he had not heard the sound of her breathing just now!
Despite that, another woman was indeed sitting on the sofa right in front of his eyes! “Ah!” Wynn also realized something and turned around abruptly. She saw a man standing behind her while
holding a shiny dagger. He was wearing a mask, and his eyes were flashing fiercely. “W-Who are you?” Wynn was shocked. She quickly clutched her stomach and stood behind 17. Bam!
At this moment, the door of the suite was slammed open from the outside!
In a flash, seven or eight fully armed bodyguards rushed in with the guns in their hands aimed at Ernie in the
room. With a self-deprecating sneer, Ernie said in a low voice, “This has been arranged a long time ago. It seems
that I underestimated this mission.” He suddenly made a move and quickly attacked. With a killing move, he rushed toward the seven or eight
people at the door!
He wanted to force his way out. At once, those seven or eight bodyguards started fighting with Ernie!
However, the bodyguards were obviously not a match for Ernie’s skills and strength!
Biff, bang, thud!
Pretty soon, several bodyguards fell to the floor. One of the bodyguards quickly tried to pull the trigger!
However!
Swoosh!
The dagger in Ernie’s hand flew out and pierced through the bodyguard’s wrist!
Following that, Ernie darted around and kicked the two at the door, trying to take advantage of the situation to
escape!
