The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 2161
“District 12? What did you say?” Wade was the first to react with a look of astonishment on his face.

He stared at the guard who was bowing and asked, “Are you sure that the convoy of the main family was escorted by the Necrons to District 12?”

The guard quickly replied, “Yes, Master Wade, we’re sure! The checkpoint guards at all three districts reported the same thing. It’s a convoy escorted by the Necrons. They showed their token. Their destination is indeed District 12!”

Hiss!

In the hall, several of the branch family elders gasped. The main family actually sent the Necrons to escort a convoy to District 12?

That was District 12! What the hell was the main family doing?

“Did you get a good look at the people in the car?” Hansel asked nervously.

The guard shook his head and said, “Master Hansel, according to the report, they couldn’t see the people in the car.”

Hearing this, Hansel turned to Wade and Morrow. He said, “Wade, Morrow, what’s the meaning of this? Why is the main family suddenly escorting someone to District 12 at this juncture? That’s the Death Block, an unregulated area. That’s Seth Larson’s turf!”

Morrow’s face was grave. After waving his hand to dismiss the guard, he looked at Wade and the rest. He asked, “Who do you think it could be?”

Wade’s face darkened. With his hands behind his back, he paced in the hall and roared, “Horace Clarke? Does he want to use the power of District 12to deal with our branch family?”

“No, Wade, what you said isn’t right.” At this time, Salem said with a smile.

“What do you mean?” Wade asked.

Salem said lightly, “Who else could it be? I’m guessing it’s Philip in all likelihood. Don’t forget, one of the three district owners in District 12 is Seth Larson. That’s his territory. He was brought back by Charlotte Larson back then and is her adopted son. I think Seth has most probably invited Philip.”

Wade frowned at his words before he nodded and said, “You have a point, but Philip shouldn’t be on Arcadia Island now.

At this time, a young man walked in through the door. It was none other than Levi, who was recovering at home from his injuries.

At this moment, he had regained his old handsome demeanor. He walked in, bowed to several elders, and said, “Greetings to all the uncles.”

Wade turned around, and the gloomy look on his face was replaced by affection. He stepped forward, patted Levi on the shoulder, and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Levi smiled and said, “Granduncle Wade, I’m here to inform you that Philip has returned. Earlier, that bitch brought her daughter to see a doctor. All the doctors at home have received a warning from me, so they went to the hospital in District 4 instead. Something unpleasant occurred and Philip stepped in. According to the scouts in the hospital, it’s indeed Philip who went to District 12.”

Hearing this, Wade looked grave as he turned back to Salem and the others.

His gaze fell on Morrow as he asked, “Morrow, what should we do now? Philip won’t really join forces with Seth Larson, right?”

Morrow’s expression did not look good either. He frowned and coughed into his handkerchief before asking, “Salem, what do you think?”

Salem ate a few nuts and said, “Let’s wait and see what happens. Seth is not a simple character. He’s the district owner in a complex place like District 12, which is enough to show that he’s not as simple as we think. Moreover, judging from the main family’s reaction by sending the Necrons, they’re also afraid of District 12. They’re afraid that Seth will do something that crosses the line.”

Hearing this, Morrow nodded and said, “Then do we need to send someone over to take a look?”

Salem shook his head, He stood up and put his hands in front of his stomach. He said, “Morrow, District 12 is unlike Districts 4 and 5. That’s the Death Block, and five miles around that area are neutral zones. People from other districts can’t enter without a permit. Moreover, if the people inside know that our branch family sent people over to monitor the situation, I’m afraid it won’t leave a good impression.”

Morrow nodded, looked at Levi, and asked, “Levi, do you have any other business here?”

Levi smiled and said, “Granduncle Morrow, I have something important to discuss with everyone.”

Chapter 2162
On this side, the Necron convoy quickly entered an eight-lane expressway.

This road was like a bridge from the bustling city to the sin city. Behind the car were the very prosperous and lively ten districts, while in front of the car were only street lights and a long eight-lane road that seemed endless.

It took about five minutes before everyone could see the outline of District 12.

There were many towering concrete city walls like the outer walls of a prison. The eight lanes led to a huge opening where a stone gate was raised! This was the entrance to District 12, and the gate weighed thousands of tons!

Two teams of fully armed patrols stood outside the gate, all of them in black combat uniforms. They looked just like those foreign armored soldiers in movies.

Every car entering and exiting this gate would undergo strict inspection. There were canines and machine scans. It was very strict!

Philip looked at the high city wall measuring tens of meters in front of him. He could see the tall buildings inside. They were pitch-black with few lights turned on.

The most central building of District 12 that was hundreds of meters high could be seen clearly. It was pitch-black, and the outer shell of the entire building was made of reinforced concrete. Only a few flashing red hazard lights could be seen.

It was said that as long as the district owner pressed a button, this building symbolizing District 12 would be locked down by iron walls from top to bottom!

No one would be allowed to enter or leave! Unless someone opened it from the inside, the building could not collapse even if it was bombarded with artillery shells, much less be broken into!

That was because the outer layer of reinforced concrete was close to a meter thick!

Soon, the convoy approached the gate checkpoint. The car stopped and the engine was switched off.

Four soldiers fully armed with guns and electronic scanning berets approached.

“Check, access permit!”

The attitude of these soldiers was rather rude and rough.

The Necron sitting in the co-passenger seat pulled out Seth’s invitation letter.

The patrolling soldier glanced at the invitation letter and looked at the people in the car.

He raised his hand in a wave and shouted to the person at the barrier, “Let them through.”

The car was just about to start. Suddenly, not far away, several off-road vehicles that were converted into armored vehicles rushed out from behind the gate. They were full of heavily armed soldiers!

The four cars drove over aggressively and surrounded Philip’s convoy! Then, a man with black sunglasses and a dark green combat uniform jumped out from the jeep in the lead.

He had a crew cut, deep scars at the corners of his eyes and mouth, and tanned skin.

He wore leather boots and led a group of more than a dozen people to approach Philip’s car with a sneer.

He stomped on the hood of the car fiercely, sneered at, sneered at Philip and the several Necrons in the car, and shouted, “Young Master Clarke, excuse me, but my boss asked me to invite you to the house first. I hope you can follow our vehicles without resistance. Otherwise, we might have some unnecessary misunderstandings. My people and guns don’t have eyes on them, after all.”

Chapter 2163The man in the lead was tall and strong with a rebellious and indomitable attitude in his words and gaze.

At the appearance of this group of people, all the soldiers in charge of patrolling the checkpoint stood silently on the side. They did not dare to take a step forward!

Philip sat in the car and frowned as he looked out the car window at the man with his foot on the hood. He could see that this squad that suddenly appeared had an extraordinary identity and status in District 12.

After thinking about it, Philip stepped out of the car while escorted by the Necrons around him.

The appearance of the Necrons also made the atmosphere at the scene unusually tense!

The man in the lead naturally recognized the Necrons. With a belligerent look in his eyes, he looked at Philip and asked, Young Master Clarke, so what do you think? Are you coming with me or should I kidnap you?”

Philip stuffed his hands in his trouser pockets, looked indifferently at the man who was in a battle uniform, and asked, “Who’s your boss?”

The man in the lead pushed his sunglasses up his nose bridge and said in a rather pretentious manner, “My boss is Tucker Stone.”

Tucker Stone?

Philip frowned upon hearing that name with a puzzled look in his eyes. That was because Tucker Stone was none other than one of the three district masters of District 12! Why would he suddenly arrange for someone to stop Philip at District 12’s checkpoint? Was he trying to snatch Philip under Seth’s nose?

Many thoughts crossed Philip’s mind. Finally, his eyes fell on the man in combat uniform who was in the lead. He said, “I’m sorry. I appreciate Mr. Stone’s kindness but I have other things to deal with for the time being. If Mr. Stone is really interested in me, why don’t you wait for me to take care of the matter at hand before I follow you to meet Mr. Stone?”

Bang!

The man in combat uniform stomped on the hood of the vehicle until it was dented. Then, with a cold gaze and an arrogant attitude, he stared at Philip and said, “Young Master Clarke, you’re the eldest young master of the main Clarke family on Arcadia Island and I should be respectful to you. But don’t forget, this is the territory of District 12. Your Clarke family doesn’t matter here. Here, only Master Stone’s will is the king’s order! Since he has invited you, you have to go!”

After saying that, the man in combat uniform waved his hand and shouted coldly, “Boys, invite Young Master Clarke into the car!”

Instantly, the soldiers in combat. uniforms who were already standing all around raised their guns and aimed the muzzles at Philip and the Necrons!

Philip’s eyes darkened as he looked at the dozens of men in combat uniform. He was a little upset.

Sure enough, District 12 paid no heed to the Clarke family at all. Even a small guard captain dared to point loaded guns at him!

Philip exhaled. Seeing the dozen or so men in combat uniforms approaching him with guns, flames of fury burst from his eyes!

However, at this moment, another group of people rushed out from the gates of District 12! The man in the lead also wore a combat uniform. He had an angular face and a stern expression. The only difference was that the badge on the chest of these people’s combat uniforms was different from the badge of this man with sunglasses.

Their appearance changed the situation here in an instant!

“Hubert, what did you just say? Your Master Stone’s order is the king’s order in District 12? Don’t you take Master Larson’s orders into consideration?”

The angular-faced man barged into the scene and rebuked the man with sunglasses.

“Steven, not bad. You came here fast enough.”

Hubert turned his head with a sneer, the scars on his face looking extremely hideous.

Steven snorted coldly as his stern eyes swept over the scene. He looked at Hubert’s men and said angrily, “All of you, put your guns down! Do you know who you’re pointing your guns at?

He’s the eldest young master of the main Clarke family! How many heads can you lose over this?”

The men in combat uniforms brought by Hubert glanced at each other at this moment. They looked at Steven and were about to put the guns down.

However, Hubert suddenly roared. “I’ll kill whoever dares to put his gun down!”

The confrontation was imminent!

The atmosphere was unusually harsh and cold! The group of soldiers who raised their guns was panicking at the moment!

One of them could not stand the pressure and slowly let his gun down.

Hubert’s eyes went cold as he moved his right hand and suddenly pulled out his pistol from his waist.

Chapter 2164
Bang!

A gunshot!

A circle of red appeared between the soldier’s eyebrows as he fell on his back in a pool of blood!

All this happened in a matter of seconds! Hubert’s actions were completed in one fluid motion and frightened all the soldiers he brought!

He calmly put the pistol back into the holster at his waist.

Thud, thud, thud!

His men instantly raised their guns and aimed them at Philip and the others again.

Steven’s face darkened at Hubert’s actions. He frowned and said angrily, “Hubert, are you challenging District Master Larson?”

Hubert smiled and said, “Steven, don’t threaten me with your district master. Our Master Stone is also a district master on the same level! If you have the ability, let’s fight to grab this person today! Whoever wins can take him away!”

Steven’s eyes twitched as a cold chill slowly emerged from his body. Both parties were in a highly tense deadlock at this time! That was because this was District 12! It was an area where bloodshed could occur at the slightest disagreement! Gun battles were not uncommon here! This was the Death Block!

A crack was heard. Abruptly, a rumble of thunder sounded in the sky as if it was marking doomsday!

A blue thunderbolt flashed across the night sky and illuminated the entire neighborhood!

Everyone’s faces looked ghastly pale under the light.

Thud!

Almost at the same time, Steven and Hubert whipped out pistols from their waists! The muzzles of the pistols were aimed at each other’s brows!

The situation was on the verge of breaking out! Everyone gasped. “Hubert, do you dare make a move?” Steven asked coldly.

Hubert smiled cruelly and said, “Steven, we’re one of a kind, so why bother with words? Tonight, only one of us will remain standing. If you’re scared, I don’t mind letting you go as long as you bow down to me.”

Hehe.

Steven sneered, “Hubert, you’ve crossed the line! Young Master Clarke is a distinguished guest invited by District Master Larson. Your actions are disrespectful to him!”

Hubert raised his eyebrows and said, “Master Stone wants me to bring Young Master Clarke over to the mansion for a chat. After the chat, he’ll naturally be released, so why are you so nervous? Why don’t I ask Master Stone to call Master Larson about this?”

“No need!”

Suddenly, a cold and deep voice came from behind everyone.

Philip stepped out. His eyes swept over Hubert, Steven, and the others. He said coldly, “I’ll just say it once, Tonight, I’m here by invitation from District Master Larson. I don’t want any fuss. If Mr. Stone really wants to invite me over, then let him wait!”

Chapter 2165
As soon as the words were spoken, it could be said that there was no room for maneuvering.

Hubert side-eyed the stern-faced Philip and said with a sneer, “Young Master Clarke, have you decided?”

Philip looked indifferently at Hubert and said, “No one has treated me as an object that can be tossed around yet. Mr. Stone is the first, and for this reason, I’ve decided to give him a little advice.”

With that said, under everyone’s baffled gaze, Philip drew a customized pistol from the waist of a Necron by his side.

Bang!

A gunshot was heard throughout the checkpoint!

In everyone’s astonished eyes, they saw that Hubert’s hand that held the gun had been shot by Philip!

Hiss!

Instantly, everyone gasped aloud. He actually fired!

That was Tucker Stone’s subordinate!

In District 12, Hubert had a notorious reputation! Hubert dropped the pistol in his hand, clutched his bloody arm as his eyes turned scarlet.

He burst out with biting killing intent as he glared at Philip and roared. “Young Master Clarke, how dare you fire at me?! This is District 12, not your Clarke family’s territory! My boss is Tucker Stone, one of the district masters of District 12!”

However, Philip merely tossed the gun in his hand back to the Necron. He stuffed his hands in his trouser pockets, his stern eyes revealing a biting chill as he stared at Hubert and said, “What about Tucker Stone? What about District 12? Don’t forget, this is Arcadia Island! The Clarke family will always be in charge! A small captain like you dares to disrespect me? Even if I kill you at District 12’s entrance today, will Tucker Stone dare to come out and show his fangs to me?”

His roar shook the scene! This was the first time that someone from the Clarke family dared to issue a challenge at the entrance of District 12! Moreover, it was against Tucker Stone!

Hubert frowned, his arm bleeding non- stop.

He stared at Philip grimly and sneered. “Very well, As expected of the eldest young master of the main Clarke family. Such courage and confidence! I can also tell you right now that as long as you dare to step into District 12 today, you’ll make an enemy out of me, Hubert Harris! I’ll definitely keep a close eye on you! Just watch out, I’ll certainly find the opportunity to kill you!

“I heard that you also brought back your wife and two kids. Haha, I hope you can protect them well. Starting from today, you’ll be up against me!”

After saying this, Hubert turned his head and wanted to leave.

However, at that moment, Philip’s cold eyes that had already mellowed down sparked with bone- chilling killing intent! He exhaled as he looked up at the sky full of rolling dark clouds and lightning flashes. He said, “At first, I planned to leave you a way out, but you’ve chosen to seek death. What I dislike the most is when people threaten me with my wife and children. The people of District 12 are no exception.”

As soon as he said that, Hubert, who had turned around and was about to leave, stopped in his tracks.

Hubert turned around again and met Philip’s eyes.

At that moment, he felt as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast! That look was very scary! It was as if one look from him could overwhelm a thousand enemies! Hubert’s heart could not help but tighten.

He frowned and asked, “What do you want to do?”

Philip walked up to Hubert, stared at him coldly, and said, “My wife and kids are absolutely off- limits. Even if this is a verbal threat, I’ll still do my best to prevent any possible mishaps. I’m sorry, but you’ve crossed the line and deserve to die!”

With that said, Philip threw a punch! At that moment, everyone saw Philip’s fist transform into a blazing fire chimera.

Puff!

It burst out suddenly and slammed into Hubert’s chest!

Chapter 2166
The fire chimera that burst out from Philip’s punch pierced through Hubert’s stomach!

As if being burnt by magma, Hubert’s stomach was translucent from the front to the back. His flesh and bones could be seen turning into fiery liquid!

Hubert was dumbfounded as he stared at Philip and spat out a word, “You…”

He collapsed before he could finish his words.

This scene shocked everyone. The fire chimera punched out by Philip just now flew into the sky before it turned into a flame and disappeared into nothingness!

What method was this?

No one dared to imagine at all!

Steven frowned as he looked at Philip’s punch and made a rough judgment. Like District Master Larson, he was that kind of special talent!

Steven immediately shouted, “Everyone, listen to my order and disarm their weapons!”

At his command, the soldiers brought by Steven took down Hubert’s subordinates and pressed them to the ground!

Then, he walked up to Philip and said, “Young Master Clarke, my district master is waiting. Please follow me.”

Philip looked away from Hubert’s body, nodded indifferently, and got back into the car.

Then, Philip’s convoy followed Steven’s convoy. They cleared the checkpoint and officially entered District 12.

Of course, the news of what had happened at the checkpoint was quickly relayed to a brightly lit mansion deep in the hinterland of District 12!

This mansion that covered an area of several thousand square feet was a white building. Soldiers with guns patrolled inside and outside the mansion. Soldiers were also stationed at all gates, strictly checking the people and vehicles that entered and exited.

At this moment, in the villa in the center of the mansion. A middle-aged man wearing a robe sat on the sofa in the living room, smoking a cigar.

Around him were sexy women in all shapes and figures from all over the world, They were dancing as entertainment, and they were performing a striptease that stimulated the heart.

In the living room, several other men and women in suits and casual clothes mingled with this middle-aged man.

“Mr. Stone, here’s to our cooperation.”

One of them was a sexy goddess who wore a fiery red dress with a high slit. She raised her glass and said with flaming red lips.

The middle-aged man with gray hair, a round face, and a lot of emerald and diamond rings on his fingers looked like a nouveau riche. He raised his glass, toasted with the woman, and drank it all in one go.

Then, he took a puff of his cigar and said with a big smile, “Miss Young, it’s a pleasure to work with you. I hope our operation will start tomorrow.”

Miss Young nodded graciously and said, “Of course. As long as you can help us get the pass, our goods in the outside world can directly enter District 12. At that time, those things will

belong to you, and you can gain a 300% profit! I believe it won’t be long before you become the richest district master in District 12! This way, your win in the next election to become the president of District 12 will be guaranteed.”

Tucker Stone smiled happily with a cigar in his mouth. He pointed at Miss Young and said, “Miss Young, you’re such a sweet talker. I like women like you. Here, let’s wish us a great victory!”

Miss Young smiled and was about to raise her glass when a man in combat uniform rushed in at the door. He walked quickly to Tucker’s side and said something in his ear.

After he finished speaking, Tucker suddenly became furious. He smashed the wine glass in his hand to the floor, got up, and roared. “Damn it! That guy from the Clarke family dares to kill my guy?”

Chapter 2167
Tucker’s sudden rage caused some panic among the bosses present. The man in front of them was Tucker Stone, a man who killed without blinking! He was one of the three district masters in District 12. He was the most money- grubbing, lustful, and power-hungry one! His hands were stained with blood!

Tucker took a puff of his cigar, turned around, pointed at the guard, and asked, “What else did he say?”

The guard reported, “He said he has a piece of advice for you. This is Arcadia Island and it’ll always be the territory of the Clarke family. Even if District 12 is not under the Clarke family’s jurisdiction, they have all the ability and means to take it back. He wants you to not cross the line, and killing Hubert is a warning to you.”

Bang! After hearing this, Tucker kicked the crystal coffee table violently, causing it to topple over.

Clatter!

The wine bottles fell to the floor, and the dancing girls all stopped in shock while looking flustered.

Tucker raised his eyebrows and pointed at the women. He grinned coldly, revealing a mouthful of gold teeth.

He said, “Dance! Keep dancing!”

After yelling, Tucker sat down again. He took a puff of his cigar and said to the guard, “Send someone to follow Steven and the others. I want to see what Seth Larson is doing by inviting that young master over at such a late hour. As long as it doesn’t interfere with my business, I can turn a blind eye to it. But if Seth dares to take advantage of that young master and plot against my business, I’m sorry to say that I’ll make that Clarke guy stay in District 12 forever!”

“Yes, Boss!” The guard bowed and retreated before quickly leaving the mansion’s hall.

In the hall, several men in suits and women in long gowns had grave expressions on their faces.

Tucker smiled and ordered the servants to clean up the place. He got up and said to everyone, “Everyone, follow me to the garden to continue our discussion.”

Everyone smiled, got up, and followed Tucker to the garden.

Miss Young walked next to Tucker and asked with a smile, “Mr. Stone, listening to your conversation with your subordinate just now, did someone from the Clarke family come to District 12?”

Tucker puffed on his cigar and exhaled a mouthful of smoke. He turned his head and looked at

the woman in front of him with a smile.

He sized up her curvy body and fair neck, saying, “Oh, are you interested in the Clarke family as well? Do you want to find out? Why don’t you become my woman and I’ll tell you all about it?”

An imperceptible trace of chill flashed in the corner of Miss Young’s eyes but a dignified and gracious smile remained on her face. She said, “Mr. Stone, you must be joking. How could a woman like me be worthy of such a majestic man like you?”

Tucker laughed and said, “Miss Young, your little mouth is really sweet. I really like you very much. Seriously, if you want to be my woman, I guarantee you can enjoy all the riches. Why don’t you consider it?”

With that said, Tucker stepped forward.

Yana Young lagged behind and stood in the same spot, looking at Tucker’s back. Next to her, a guard in a black suit approached and whispered, “Miss Young, we received news that Seth Larson invited Philip Clarke, the eldest young master of the main Clarke family, to meet at Summit Restaurant tonight.”

Yana turned her head with a darkened face and said, “Have your people continue to keep an eye on them. I want to know their every move. This is very important for our upcoming plan in District 12! If we can’t take Seth Larson down, we can take Tucker Stone. Our forces must be present in District 12!”

“Yes, Miss Young.” The guard said and left the mansion when no one was paying attention.

Back to Philip’s side. His convoy followed Steven’s convoy until they arrived at Summit Restaurant.

This was a famous restaurant in District 12.

Chapter 2168
Summit Restaurant was a classic building designed with red masonry and wood. A big red lantern hung at every corner of Summit Restaurant. It stood out in this quiet street!

This restaurant was located in the prosperous area of Fourth Avenue in District 12. However, due to the late hour, there was a curfew after nine o’clock. Thus, there was no one on the street. Except for patrolling people and cars, not even a dog was seen.

The convoy stopped at the entrance of Summit Restaurant.

At the door, four young ladies welcomed the guests. All of them had curvy figures and wore long dresses. Their hair was coiled on the top of their heads. When the wind blew, the hem of their dresses would lift, revealing their fair skin.

They bent over and greeted, “Welcome to Summit Restaurant, Young Master Clarke.”

Philip got out of the car and looked up at the golden signboard before he followed Steven into the building.

Five Necrons followed closely behind Philip while four stayed next to the car in case of emergencies.

However, as soon as they entered the door, two men in dark green combat uniforms stepped out. They reached out to stop the five Necrons and said, “District Master Larson has ordered that only Young Master Clarke is allowed to enter.”

Philip frowned and looked at the five Necrons behind him. They held guns in both hands, and a red line flashed across their black helmets.

Then, a mechanical voice came from the helmet of one of the Necrons.

A cold voice said, “We’re responsible for protecting Young Master Philip Clarke’s safety.” It was such a simple sentence.

The faces of the two men in dark green combat uniforms darkened, and they also said coldly, “District Master Larson has ordered that only Young Master Clarke is allowed to enter. No one else is allowed to enter.”

As soon as the words were spoken, two Necrons took two steps forward and grabbed Philip’s arms. They turned around and left!

This scene left the two men in dark green combat uniforms and Steven dumbfounded. Since they were not allowed to enter, they simply brought Philip back to the car.

Bang!

The car doors were locked!

Philip returned to the car, baffled.

At the checkpoint just now, the Necrons did not make a move, but they were so overbearing now.

“Everyone, it should be fine for me to go in alone,” Philip said tentatively.

The Necron who spoke earlier replied in the same mechanically cold voice, “We’re responsible for protecting the safety of Young Master Philip Clarke. If a situation has above 50% risk, we will enforce the safest practices!”

Philip shrugged helplessly and had to sit in the car to wait quietly.

Outside, Steven blinked his big eyes doubtfully. He was astounded. He glanced at the men in combat uniforms next to him and took out his phone helplessly.

He called Seth and said, “District Master, Philip has arrived but his guards won’t let him enter alone. We…”

“It’s okay, let his guards enter. We must be hospitable and meet all the requirements of our guests.”

At the other end of the phone, a calm, mellow, and magnetic male voice was heard.

Steven hung up the phone and walked to the car. He knocked on the car window and said, “District Master Larson says that you can all enter together.”

Chapter 2169
Very soon, several people followed Steven and entered Summit Restaurant. They went up to the third floor and sat down in a low-key but luxurious private room.

This private room was designed in a classic style with carved beams, and the screens were also painted with murals. A view of the streets could be seen outside the window.

Steven pushed open the private room door, bowed to the figure of a man with his back to everyone, and shouted respectfully, “District Master Larson, Young Master Clarke is here.”

“Okay,” the man replied throatily.

Steven turned sideways and made an inviting gesture to Philip and the others outside the door.

Philip put his hands in his trouser pockets, stepped into the room, and saw the figure.

Wearing a light gray suit, he stood with his hands behind his back. He looked at the view of the streets outside the window.

The figure was about 1.8 meters tall with a burly stature. It was not the bulging muscular type but rather sinewy.

In short, just at the sight of his back, Philip had a general impression of District Master Larson. “Welcome to Summit Restaurant.”

As he spoke, Seth Larson turned around. He had a handsome face and well-defined eyebrows. He wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a tie, looking like quite the gentleman.

Especially his voice, which sounded quite magnetic and sexy.

The smile at the corner of his mouth and the upward angle of his thin lips also made it easy for others to feel close to him.

This was Seth Larson, one of the three district masters of the Death Block that was District 12.

He politely gestured to Philip and invited him to sit.

Philip took a seat. Two Necrons stood at the door while another three stood behind him, protecting him very well.

After all, outside the door was full of Steven’s people.

Moreover, Philip also found four cameras with flashing red lights in this room.

“District Master Larson, why are you looking for me so late at night?” Philip asked, his eyes on Seth.

This man, who looked just a few years older than Philip, had a handsome appearance. However, those eyes revealed deep wisdom and complex schemes that went beyond his age. This was Philip’s judgment of him.

Seth smiled, sat down, and motioned for the servant to serve tea. He said with a smile, “Young Master Clarke, this is Earl Grey tea that just arrived from Riverdale. Do give it a try.”

Philip looked at the smelled a faint fragrance cup of tea and After thinking about it, Philip picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile, “District Master Larson, this tea is of the highest quality. Is it from the Eastern Mountain?”

Seth smiled and said, “You’re really amazing to be able to tell the origin of this tea with just one sip.

Philip put down the teacup, smiled, and said, “If there is something you want to discuss with me, please go ahead. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. As you know, my wife and daughter are waiting for me.”

Seth smiled and motioned for the servant to clear the tea set. He said directly, “I want to get rid of Tucker Stone with the help of your power.”

Hearing that, Philip frowned. He leaned back on the seat languidly and crossed his arms. Looking at Seth indifferently, he asked, “Why should I help you?”

Seth smiled blandly and said, “You experienced Tucker’s actions first-hand just now. He won’t spare anyone he sets his eyes on. Besides, you’ve killed someone close to him, and Tucker must have found out by now. According to the news sent by my people, Tucker has already dispatched two small teams at the checkpoint. As long as you leave this place tonight, you’ll be taken away by his people.”

Chapter 2170
At this point, Seth paused briefly to look at Philip’s reaction.

The expression on Philip’s face darkened. He did not like Tucker Stone because his actions could be regarded as a provocation and they had crossed the line. He was the eldest young master of the main Clarke family, after all, yet Tucker dared to send his people to invite Philip back to his place so forcefully.

“If that’s the case, I don’t think it’s enough to compel me to help you. District 12 is not under the Clarke family’s jurisdiction, after all. It’s difficult for our power to penetrate this place. Besides, offending Tucker Stone brings no benefit to me. I don’t have any ideas for District 12 right now.” Philip expressed his intentions diplomatically.

Seth nodded. He knew it would be difficult to get Philip to help him with just a few words. Hence, he clapped his hands, and the servant handed Philip a tablet.

The tablet screen showed the footage from a hidden camera. It was none other than the image of Tucker’s mansion as he conspired with Yana Young and the others.

Philip looked at it with a frown.

Seth asked lightly, “Young Master Clarke, you should know that woman, right?”

Philip’s face was indifferent. The woman in the video was none other than Yana Young. Philip

had met her once. How did this woman appear in District 12?

“What are you trying to say?” Philip asked.

Seth got up, put his hands behind his back, and stood at the window. He looked at the vast District 12 and said, “She’s from the Alliance. The power of the Alliance has penetrated District 12, and the culprit is none other than Tucker Stone. The thing they’re talking about is a new type of white powder from the outside world, which can destroy one’s nervous system and control one’s mind. Once this thing enters District 12 and Tucker sells it rampantly, it’ll cause great harm to District 12. When that happens, Tucker will rule over District 12 alone. Moreover, the next election is imminent. Once Tucker is elected president, he’ll reign for three years.”

“In the past, the elections produced no results because of the tripartite and each of us ruled separately. However, it’s different this time. The other party has started contacting Tucker in secret.”

After saying that, Seth took a long breath. He turned to Philip and said, “The goal of the Alliance is not just District 12. District 12 is only one stage of their experiment. Once their plan succeeds in District 12, it’ll affect the entire Arcadia Island in the future! When that happens, it’ll be too late for you to stop them.”

After hearing that, Philip looked at the content of the video and fell into deep thought.

He knew that Seth’s words were just to disguise his ambition of wanting to uproot Tucker.

However, Philip found no reason to refute. That was because this was indeed a matter of life and death for Arcadia Island. If what Seth said was true, Philip must make a decision!

“How can I believe that what you said is true? Arcadia Island is not the outside world. Even if the Alliance you mentioned has infiltrated District 12, wouldn’t that be a favorable opportunity for the Clarke family? After all, I’ve been thinking about reclaiming District 12 for a long time,” Philip said with a smile.

Chapter 2171
Seth looked at Philip as a smile slowly blossomed on his face. He said, “You’re carved out of the same mold as your mother. Even your characters are the same.”

Hearing this, Philip frowned. After a long while, he said, “How long were you with my mother?”

Seth turned around and looked up at the gray, gloomy sky. The muffled thunder exploded in his ears as the lightning flashed in his eyes constantly.

He said, “It’s about to rain.” Philip also looked out the window.

Seth continued, “Back then , it was in such weather that my adoptive mother rescued me from that place. After that, she brought me into the door of the Nonagon and taught me many things. She always said that I was stupid, and I, too, felt that I was stupid. She had to teach me many things many times but I just couldn’t master any of them. However, she didn’t know that I had already learned everything long ago. I just didn’t want to tell her that. In this way, she’d take the time to accompany me and teach me.”

As Philip listened, his face grew darker. He stared coldly at Seth,

Seth turned to him and said, “Philip, do you know? I’ve always been jealous of you because she was always thinking and talking about you. She kept mentioning you, her precious son, to me. You were the son she could never let go of. Many times, she was arranging everything for you behind your back. I always thought how wonderful it would be if I were you, the biological son of my adoptive mother. In this way, her love would all be mine.

“Enough!”

Suddenly, Philip roared as he glared fixedly at Seth. He said, “You’ve strayed from the topic of our meeting today!”

Seth smiled and said, “Philip, to help me is to help you. District 12 will always be a thorn in the Clarke family’s side. Back then, Mother took charge of District 12 to curb the main and branch Clarke families and to achieve a delicate balance. Here, there are many things that the Clarkes can’t get involved in, and there are many things that the Clarkes can’t control. If you help me, it will pave the road for you to rule the Clarke family in the future. As long as you help me, I can promise you one condition, a condition that I’ll try my best to help you with. So, what do you think of my generous offer?”

Seth’s face was full of smiles, and his eyes were shining brightly as if he had Philip in the bag.

After a second of silence, Philip got up and asked, “You said that you have entered the Nonagon’s door with Mother before. What’s your current strength?”

Seth smiled, raised his hand, and a golden ball of light suddenly erupted from his palm. Mysterious and obscure runes circled this ball of light. This ball of light also quickly illuminated this private room golden.

Seth flipped his hand back and the ball of light disappeared. He said, “My strength is acceptable, and I have the ability to protect myself. You don’t have to worry about me. You, however, are not even considered a disciple of the first zone yet you dared to take such dangerous action at the checkpoint. Don’t you know that many people are now keeping a close eye on the Clarke family and you? If they find out that you’ve developed your energy field and attributes, do you think they can still hold back?”

Hehe.

Philip chuckled and said, “I never had the intention of hiding it because my goal is to enter the Nonagon’s door. I must take a look no matter what. In that case, why not speed up the plans for them?”

Seth nodded with admiration in his eyes and said, “Interesting. You’re the first guy I’ve met who interests me. As expected of my adoptive mother’s son. No wonder she chose you as her heir back then. I’m curious to know how far you can grow.”

Philip frowned. His mother’s heir? What did Seth mean by that?

Chapter 2172
“What do you mean?” Philip asked. “Why am I my mother’s heir?”

Seth smiled and said, “It’s nothing. Let’s get back to the point. I want to ask you to help me take control of District 12. As long as you help me, when the time comes, we can cooperate from both inside and outside. District 12 will become a stronghold of the Clarke family. What do you think?”

Philip sullenly looked at Seth’s smiling face and said, “How confident are you to deal with Tucker Stone?”

Seth raised five fingers and said, “50-5 0.”

Philip frowned and said, “Are you taking a gamble?”

Seth smiled and said, “Many times, it’s a gamble in many things. As long as I put the right stakes, I win. If I lose, I also have a way to deal with It. How about it, Eldest Young Master of the main Clarke family? You aren’t afraid, are you?”

Philip raised his eyebrows and said with a sneer, “Seth Larson, this is not in line with your personality. You shouldn’t be someone who likes to use goading tactics.”

Seth laughed and said, “Philip, this is interesting. What kind of person do you think I am?”

Philip smiled and said, “You’re a person who trusts no one. In your eyes, everyone, including me, can be pawns you use to pave the way for yourself. I have to remind you that if you make use of the Clarke family’s power, you can never escape again.”

The smile on Seth’s face slowly froze. He looked at Philip very seriously and said, “I must get rid of Tucker Stone!”

Philip nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll trust you this once. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
