Beatrice took off her mask. She was sweating on her head and looked a little tired. She glanced at Henry, nodded, and said to Philip, “The patient is suffering from acute bleeding and must be kept under observation. However, your wife is very strong. In such a severe situation, she still protected the fetus desperately. She’s a great woman. The fetus is temporarily saved, but the danger is still there. The next few days will be very critical. If she bleeds again, we might not be able to keep it.” The big rock in Philip’s heart finally fell. He looked at Wynn who was being pushed out of the operating room, his heart full of regret and self-blame. Philip rushed over, grabbing Wynn's cold and slender hand. He stroked her forehead and whispered, “Wynnie, I’m back.” Wynn squinted, looked very tired and in pain. She smiled slightly at the corners of her mouth and said weakly, “Baby… is fine.” In the intensive care unit, Philip held Wynn's little hand tightly and just sat like that.

Jack naturally understood and said, “Teacher, it’s really difficult to raise funds, but I know some friends. I might be able to contact them to ask if anyone is willing to invest.” Beatrice’s eyes lit up and said, “Great! We need patriots like you! Jack, as long as the institute is established, I’ll recommend you to be the first batch of medical researchers to enter the institute!” Jack said gratefully, “Thank you, Teacher.” After that, he was about to dial the phone numbers of some business owners he knew. It was also at this time that Philip stepped forward and asked, “How much needs to be raised?” After asking this question, both Beatrice and Jack looked at Philip dubiously. As far as Beatrice knew, Philip had already invested billions in helping Henry’s cardiology department. Was he going to invest in the comprehensive research institute now? Impossible! This was simply not the kind of financial support that could be given by one person! Moreover, the research pla

Ten… Ten billion? Instantly, everyone was stunned! Jack looked at Philip dumbfounded. From his expression, he could not read any deception.Was he telling the truth?How could it be? Ten billion! Was he crazy? Who could have so much money? Anyone who could simply invest 10 billion in the development of a research institute must have tens of billions of funds! Would such a person be unknown? However, when did Riverdale produce such a character? Jack had never heard of it! He had never seen a rich man like Philip! Therefore, he immediately sneered and mocked, “What did you say? Ten billion? Young man, you’re overly pretentious. It’s a good thing to be grateful to our Professor Swann, but it’s not good for you to talk nonsense like this.” He refused to believe that a guy like Philip could spend ten billion! Even if he had some wealth, it would be a million to ten million at most. Ten billion? Ludicrous! Beatrice was also taken aback. When she heard the nu

If he could not come up with ten billion, just reduce it to 100 million? Did he really think that money fell from the sky? He could come up with 100 million just like that? Beatrice also shook her head helplessly and said, “Mr. Clarke, I know you really want to support this project, but if it doesn't work out, we don't have to force it. We will find a way.” However, Philip was unperturbed and continued to dial another number. “Buffer, transfer ten billion to…” Philip turned to Beatrice and asked, “Do you have a bank account?” Beatrice was startled in puzzlement. However, Henry stepped forward and recited the bank account information. Soon, Philip hung up the phone and said to Beatrice casually, “Professor Swann, the money has already been transferred. You can check it later.” It was transferred? Beatrice’s face was full of disbelief. Jack sneered and mocked, “Young man, aren’t you done pretending yet?” He said this with a tone full of dissatisfaction. Was this g

Phoenix Pavilion, Phoenicia. The four Phoenix brothers were gathered together at the moment, wining and dining merrily. “Wallace, since Mr. Clarke and Theo are dead, the underground chamber of commerce this time will be different. When the time comes, a big piece of cake like Riverdale will definitely be popular.” The fourth brother, Gerald Phoenix, held the red wine in his hand. His face was full of joy. “In my opinion, we did a big favor to those people in the South River District. We’ll score a piece of this cake,” the third brother, Harvey, said. Only the second brother, Jerome, with bandages on his hands and accompanied by a special nurse, asked in a deep voice, “Wallace, what do you think?” Wallace stood in front of the large French window with his hands behind his back, looking at the darkening sky in Phoenicia, After a brief silence, he said, “Don't intervene in the affairs of the underground chamber of commerce for the time being. Let those big bosses fight it ou

At the same time at Fenix Hotel and Restaurant in Ken Cooke’s suite. Yana sat on the sofa with a vague look of joy on her face and said, “Master Ken, you’ve also received the news, right?” Ken put his hands in the pockets of his suit trousers and stood in front of the window, looking far away. His thoughts were unknown. He said, “I received it. Something happened to Theo and that Mr. Clarke.” “This is good news for us,” Yana said. Ken shook his head and turned around, looking at Yana with a profound look. He asked, “Do you think this news is reliable?” Yana shook her head and said, “No.” “Why not?” Ken asked and sat opposite Yana. Yana got up, stepped forward, and walked to the wine rack to pour two glasses of red wine. She said, “Because Bowen Roy’s people are all gathered in the north of Phoenicia and haven’t moved a single step.” Bowen Roy! When Ken heard this name, his heart suddenly tightened. Yes. Bowen had supposedly joined that Mr. Clarke, but now that t

The city was full of volatility. On this night, Phoenicia was very lively. There were twice as many people on the streets than usual. The underground chamber of commerce was taking place ahead of schedule tonight at an ancient building in Phoenicia. It was a theater lobby. It was an ancient theater that had been handed down ages ago. The place had carved beams, red tiles, and lamps hanging everywhere—making it seem extremely lively. At this time, the ancient theater building was heavily guarded both inside and outside. An endless stream of various luxury cars drove in from the gates of the building and stopped on the red carpet in front of the main entrance of the theater. From inside the cars, glamorously dressed prominent figures walked down one after another, accompanied by their female companions. They entered the venue one by one! To the outside world, these people were infamous leaders in their respective areas! Big bosses in their own rights! Tonight, they we
The First Heir Chapter 1028
At this moment on both sides of the stage, many big bosses from various districts were stepping out from backstage to the front to take their seats. “Oh, Mr. Wood, long time no see.” “Haha, Mr. Saunders, you’re here too.” Several people who knew each other greeted politely. On the surface, they were courteous like blood brothers. As soon as they sat down, however, their faces became cold. They were each thinking of ways to crush the other party later! Soon, the main guest arrived. “Master Cooke is here!” someone shouted in the crowd. The leaders who were all seated got up and smiled at Ken Cooke who was walking out from backstage. Ken, dressed in a black suit, looked vigorous with a ruddy complexion. He was determined to win the top spot tonight. “Master Ken, please take a seat. I’m afraid you’ll be taking the main seat tonight.” Someone stepped forward at this moment and flattered. Ken waved his hand and said, “Hey, the most important thing is to participate.”

The other party simply looked at Loony indifferently without responding. Suddenly, Philip’s ear wiggled. He heard something. “Eat this. Someone's coming.” Philip stuffed a pill into Loony's mouth and pulled him into a corner to hide. He heard someone coming from the depths of the cellar. The man who spoke to them heard the movement and shut his mouth. The other prisoners remained silent as well. At this time, a familiar person appeared in front of Philip. It was none other than Brett. This Brett was different from the Brett Philip knew. This one looked sinister and cunning. Philip recalled the Brett he met yesterday. He was elegant and seemed like a trustworthy man at a glance. He was shocked to see this difference in just one day. “I’m ready to create my second human puppet. Does anyone want to volunteer your body?” Brett said with a vicious smile. In everyone’s eyes, he looked no different from the devil. “I have a special preference for humans. In that case, I’ll

“That must be it. Let’s take a look.” Philip pointed to the entrance of the cellar, and Loony shook his head in fear. “I have some knowledge of geomancy, and my gut is telling me that we should avoid that place. We may easily lose our lives there.” The cellar entrance looked very scary, so he refused to step inside. Philip could not be bothered. They were very close to finding the truth. They might miss the opportunity forever if they gave up right now. Hence, Philip dragged Loony into the cellar. Before Loony knew what was going on, he felt his vision go black, and he appeared in the cellar in the next second. He shook his head at Philip’s manhandling, shocked that Philip refused to listen to him. “It’ll be a disaster if we rush in recklessly.” Loony glanced at Philip helplessly. Although disappointed about Philip's distrust in him, it was useless to say anymore now that they were in the cellar. They should figure out how to leave. “With the gusts of cold wind, this

“Let’s go right now. I can’t wait to figure out the situation.” Loony forgot all about breakfast and pulled Philip out of the room. He shuddered when he walked past Hercules. He was afraid of this puppet from the bottom of his heart. Philip simply moved along without a word. He was afraid that Loony would let the cat out of the bag. Philip felt that Loony had exposed them because of his fear. “Philip, where are you going? Can you take me with you?” Aslan said in fear. He trembled all over at the thought of Hercules’ spooky gaze. He just wanted to follow Philip and leave this scary place. “Just stay here for now. If anything happens later, I'll inform you to take care of it.” It was the best time to leave them alone together. Philip would never take Aslan with him. Aslan was in despair to hear that he had to stay behind. As Philip marched away, Aslan gritted his teeth and went into Lyle's room as if he wanted to chat with him, but he was actually seeking refuge. Herc

Aslan felt that he was going nuts. He never thought he would meet someone so scary. That guy was torturing him mentally. “Your eyebags are really heavy,” Philip suddenly commented. Aslan was certainly scared out of his wits. Something was definitely up with that human puppet, but Philip did not intend to tell Aslan the truth yet. “I’ve decided not to sleep. Let’s see what that guy is up to!” Practitioners could go without sleeping for a long time but as humans, they had the habit of resting at fixed times. Philip shook his head at Aslan’s reaction. He could tell that Aslan would suffer immensely, but he had to sacrifice this poor guy to get to the bottom of this. “I’m off.” Aslan tossed the quilt to one side and walked out. The moment he opened the door, Philip heard him gasp. He looked out of the door curiously and saw Hercules standing outside, staring at Aslan oddly. “Dude, what’s your problem? Will you die if you don't peek at others?” Aslan said in annoyance. He

Aslan saw Hercules' face in the window. He was very angry and was about to curse when he realized that it was an illusion. Hercules was not around, and his window was tightly shut. “What the heck is wrong with me? Are my eyes playing tricks on me because I peeked at beautiful women one time too many?” Aslan was worried that something was wrong with his eyes. “This is weird. Did that guy do something to me to make me keep seeing his nasty face all the time?” Aslan shook his head helplessly and turned his head away. Since he saw that face in the window, he would choose to avoid looking at it. When Aslan turned to his bed, he saw Hercules’ face next to his bed again. This was getting ridiculous. Aslan reached out and grabbed the image, but it was just another illusion. Aslan suffered such a great blow that he hugged his quilt and ran to Philip’s room in a panic. He swore that he had never felt so embarrassed all his life. Hercules’ weird appearance was so terrifying that Asl

Some people were so powerful that someone would turn them into puppets after they died and continue to use them, and the abilities they possessed before they died would be increased by several times. Although human puppets were powerful, they were difficult to produce and required the sacrifice of innocent people, so many people saw it as a twisted and forbidden technique. Every once in a while, human puppets had to kill some powerful practitioners to renew their skin or the skin would disintegrate until it became unusable. Although Philip had met Brett, it was just a brief contact. He was not clear about the Spade family. Philip believed that the human puppet must have been produced by the Spade family because the puppet needed practitioners to renew its skin on a long-term basis or the secret would be exposed in no time. A newly formed puppet had no thoughts of its own. It would gradually think like normal people as time passed, but the most important advantage of a human pup

“I’ve known Hercules a long time ago. He’s very powerful and a top fighter of the Spade family. I didn't expect them to assign him to us. I feel a little flattered now,” Loony said. Philip noticed his reaction. Now that he was rational, they could continue the conversation. “Did he look like this when you saw him back then?” Philip thought that Hercules' mechanical reaction was strange. No normal person should act like that. “He seemed stiffer before, just like a robot, and he almost couldn’t think for himself. “Anyway, he just has to execute the orders given to him by his master without thinking too much. I quite envy him sometimes. His master always speaks his mind without beating about the bush. If I can find such a master… “Bah, I’m an independent individual. Why should I follow a master?” As Loony described his earlier encounter with Hercules, Philip found a clue. “You're right. I finally know what's wrong.” Philip smacked his thigh. He felt that Hercules was too m

“To tell you the truth, we’ve always wanted to take action against the Swift family, but our identity makes it inconvenient for us. We've always hoped that an individual force could take action on our behalf. “The Swift family has other families to support them, but you don’t have to worry about them. We can take care of them. You just need to confront the main family.” Brett clapped his hands together, and a man walked in the door. The man was burly and looked like a strong fighter. “He’s a guard of the Spade family and a force to be reckoned with. To show you my support and gratitude, I’ll lend this guard to you for the time being. His name is Hercules, and he’s no different from the Hercules in our mythology. I gave him this name to make him stronger.” Philip smiled. Sure enough, only humans would appreciate such things. “Hercules, you’ll be their point of contact. You need to do your best to help them if they need help and hold nothing back.” Philip felt Hercules’ power
The First Heir Chapter 6018
“We’ll be meeting a young heir of the Spade family. He holds the highest status in the family apart from the head of the family. “I’m sure we can solve the problem as long as we reach an agreement with him. I’m just afraid…” Philip was puzzled by Loony’s hesitation. “What are you worried about? Are you worried that the Spade family won't help you?” Philip was curious. He did not know the Spade family, so he could not predict their reaction. “I’m just afraid that they may be concerned about how this incident will impact them. Although the Spade family resented the Swift family, they've never taken action against them over the years, which proves their caution. Now that things have escalated, I’m not sure if the Spade family will agree to our proposition.” Philip nodded. It was certainly worth consideration, but they could only find out after a talk with them. Philip was not worried about it. If they were willing to cooperate, both parties could form a strong alliance, but it
