The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 2571
Dr. Garner entered the password and slowly opened locker No. 7.

Philip and Fennel also became excited. Everything would be much easier if they could find Wynn’s stored memory. However, when the locker was opened, it was empty inside.

Philip frowned and looked at Dr. Garner.

Dr. Garner shrugged and said, “It looks like a copy of Miss Johnston’s memory isn’t here.”

“Then what should we do next?” Philip asked.

Dr. Garner said, “We can only get it from Young Master Lovelace.”

‘Shane Lovelace?’ Philip frowned. This was an impossible feat.

As the three pondered, suddenly, the alarm bells outside blared!

“Intruder alert! Intruder alert!”

Philip frowned, grabbed Dr. Garner by the collar, and barked, “What did you do?”

Dr. Garner roared in a fluster. “I… I don’t know what’s going on either!”

Immediately after, in the corridor outside, more than a dozen fully armed guards quickly rushed to the memory storage room. Philip and Fennel exchanged a glance and rushed out with Dr. Garner in tow without further delay. The two guards in white combat uniforms at the door even tried to fire their guns when their throats were slit by a black shadow.

Fennel flicked the dagger in his hand, looked at the dozen incoming guards in the corridor, and said, “It seems that we’ve been tricked!”

With that said, a red dragon halberd appeared in Fennel’s hand. He rushed out while yelling, “Take Dr. Garner and leave!”

Philip did not hesitate and dragged Dr. Garner to leave decisively.

Boom!

The entire research institute was ablaze with the sounds of explosions and never-ending gunshots. Several people were sent flying out of the institute by scarlet airwaves and collapsed several walls.

Philip dragged Dr. Garner along and fought his way out. When they rushed out of the institute and stood in the field, he suddenly realized that they were fully surrounded.

The entire field in front of him was swarmed with guards in black combat uniforms. All the guns in their hands were aimed at Philip. There were about a hundred of them. In the lighthouse in the distance, all the lights were also aimed at Philip and Dr. Garner.

Two fighter jets hovered in the sky. The snipers inside also aimed their guns at Philip on the ground.

Philip’s face darkened, his eyes went cold, and biting killing intent gradually surged from his body.

An enticing figure slowly walked out from behind the armed guards. She wore a red backless evening gown with high heels, looking charming and gracious.

Cleo Lovelace stepped forward with a chip the size of a fingernail in her hand and said to Philip, “Young Patriarch Clarke, are you looking for this?”

Philip narrowed his eyes, stared at the chip in Cleo’s hand, and said, “Give it to me!”

Cleo chuckled and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, if you’re looking for this, why didn’t you look for me directly instead of coming here sneakily? How about we make a deal?”

Chapter 2572
Philip scowled as he looked fixedly at Cleo and said coldly, “What deal?”

Cleo laughed lightly and said, “To express your goodwill, don’t you think you should release Dr. Garner first?”

Philip frowned and looked at Dr. Garner beside him, who was already scared out of his wits. He lifted his hand and released Dr. Garner. Dr. Garner exclaimed in shock and quickly ran away before he was brought away by relevant personnel.

Only Philip remained at the scene now, surrounded by all the guards. He said coldly, “Miss Lovelace, to express your goodwill, shouldn’t you tell them to withdraw too?”

Cleo shrugged and indicated to the surrounding fully armed guards to back up three meters.

Then, Cleo said with a smile, “I’ve heard about your fame, so this is the most basic defense. I hope you don’t mind.”

Philip frowned, thought about it, and made no further comment. He asked instead, “So, what’s the deal?”

Cleo said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, can you help the Lovelace family make a comeback and return to the peak of glory in this world? Rest assured, when the time comes, the Lovelace family will share the entire world with the Clarke family. What do you think?”

Philip’s eyes froze as he stared at Cleo as he asked, “Do you think this deal is possible?”

Cleo smiled, waved the chip in her hand, and said, “Aren’t you that loving husband in the rumors? Are you really willing to allow Wynn to become a stranger who’ll never remember you, your daughter, and your son?”

Her words were like a knife that stabbed through Philip’s heart over and over again. He clenched his fists bitterly, and the fire in his eyes blazed!

This damned Lovelace family was actually after this!

Was he really supposed to betray everyone and help the villainous Lovelace family make a comeback?

In the past, Philip once made an oath that he would betray the entire world for Wynn’s sake. However, when this choice was right in front of his face now, how was he supposed to choose?

Once the Lovelace family made a comeback, the danger to the entire world would be unimaginable!

If it were Wynn, what would she choose?

Philip fell silent. This was the first time he went silent.

Seeing the silent Philip, Cleo smiled and said, “So, it seems that everything you said in the past was just empty words. Men are really sweet talkers. In that case, I can’t give you this chip.”

Philip immediately scowled and said, “I’ll take the chip, but I won’t help the Lovelace family!”

He would grab it. Philip had made his choice. Instantly, killing intent surged from his body!

As if Cleo had expected this, she merely laughed and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, do you really think you can lay your hands on this chip? This thing is very valuable and is the only memory chip that belongs to Wynn. I’ve already destroyed the copy. If you do anything that makes me unhappy, this chip will most probably be destroyed too. If that happens, Wynn will never return to the way she was.”

With that said, Cleo fished out a test tube in her other hand and said, “The chip will melt instantly if tossed inside. What do you think you can do, Young Patriarch Clarke?”

Philip was taken aback and frowned deeply. He stared at Cleo’s hands with chills in his eyes and said angrily, “Stop! Except for helping the Lovelace family make a comeback, I can agree to everything else!”

“Oh, is that so? I have to think about it carefully, then.”

Cleo smiled slyly with a victorious look in her eyes. Then, she looked in the direction of the research institute where a fierce fight was still ongoing. The sky was full of human figures and scarlet airwaves. Suddenly, she smiled wickedly and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, I just thought of something. I’m sure you can do it.”

Philip frowned as he saw a trace of malice on that sly face.

Sure enough, Cleo pointed at Fennel who was fighting over there and said, “As long as you kill him, I’ll give you this chip. What do you think? I’m pretty sure you can fulfill your end of the deal.”

‘What?!’ Philip narrowed his eyes as anger raged all over him.

He was supposed to kill Fennel Leigh in exchange for Wynn’s memory chip?!

Chapter 2573
Philip’s expression was tense as he stared fixedly at Cleo and barked. “You’re challenging my limits!”

Cleo chuckled and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, you have too many limits. These are the choices right in front of you now. I’ll only give you 30 seconds to think about it. Kill Fennel or I’ll destroy this chip!”

With that said, the smile on Cleo’s face was completely replaced by malevolence. This woman was exactly the same as described by Steven, scheming and ruthless!

Philip stood on the spot and felt the world spinning around him. His mind was full of the two choices mentioned by Cleo. He could still hear Fennel’s battle cries behind him.

Rumble!

Scarlet airwaves surged. Fennel was currently fighting with the warriors of the Lovelace family who had been enhanced with the special drugs researched by the institute. This group of warriors was no ordinary people. They were totally like killing machines, very powerful. They were at least on par with the disciples at the peak of the fourth or fifth zones.

The Lovelace family’s research on the human body had actually reached such an amazing level.

Simply terrifying!

However, the red dragon halberd in Fennel’s hand gushed with scarlet airwaves and killed the last gene-enhanced warrior of the Lovelace family. Then, Fennel saw Philip being surrounded. He rushed over with the halberd in his hand.

Swish!

Fennel stood in front of Philip, his face grim as he stared at Cleo on the opposite side. He raised the halberd in his hand, pointed at the other party, and roared. “Cleo Lovelace, what do you want to do?”
