Chapter 10

Penulis: Master Yu Who Smokes
Philip glanced over calmly and expressionlessly.

Kyle was looking at Philip, clearly displeased. This guy seemed so normal, how could he be so calm? Interesting!

“Bro, can you pay the three hundred thousand?” Kyle was not a gangster who would just start getting physical for no apparent reason. Three hundred thousand was a humongous sum for a normal person. Kyle felt that a man like Philip could never afford this amount, but he still had to ask. Diplomacy before violence.

“I’m sorry, but he ran a red light and should take full responsibility. What’s more, we didn’t really hit each other,” said Philip calmly.

Jacob pointed at Philip and roared furiously, “Does that mean you won’t pay up?”

Philip stared quietly at him, not answering.

Kyle frowned slightly, shifting his gaze to the wrecked Harley on the ground and said, “Bro, three thousand won’t cost much. Just a leg.”

This was a threat. Philip’s gaze went cold as a glint appeared in his eyes.

As the heir to an elite family, did that three hundred thousand matter to him? It did not. But, he could not let himself be taken advantage of.

“What if I told you I don’t have any money?” Philip replied.

The group of bikers was snickering as they stared at Philip like he was an idiot.

Kyle rubbed his nose before draping an arm over Philip’s shoulder, flashing him an insolent smile. “Uncle, do you know who I am? I’m Kyle Lyon of Lord North Street. Everyone shows me respect by calling me ‘Brother Kyle’. It would be unreasonable if you didn’t compensate for a single thing today.”

Kyle was amused. It was his first time meeting such a foolish guy. Was his head made of iron? Or did he think he was a honey badger? Hilarious!

“Brother Kyle, just one look at his outfit, and you can tell that he’s broke.”

“This idiot might not even know what a Harley is, hahaha!”

“Uncle, quickly call someone to bring you some money. Our Brother Kyle doesn’t hold back in a beating.” The group of bikers jeered continuously. The girls crossed their arms with an indignant expression while the guys leaned against their bikes, smoking.

Lynn was among the group, watching coldly. She leaned against one of the girls who was wearing tight leather pants and a cropped camisole.

“He’s my cousin brother-in-law, a wretched piece of trash living under my cousin sister’s expenses.” Lynn suddenly interrupted, saying this like it made her seem more superior.

“Shit, a kept man! Uncle, you have quite the skills. Why don’t you teach us?” A few of the bikers started cracking up again.

Kyle stifled a laugh and shook his head. He scorned men who relied on women the most. “So, what is your decision, Uncle?” asked Kyle. He smirked and was ready to get physical.

Philip remained silent without saying a word. A mental calculation told him that it was about time.

All of a sudden, Philip’s pupils contracted as he saw a great number of red-colored scooters speeding over from afar!

“Why are there so many delivery men?” Without knowing who shouted, everyone turned to look.

The sight of red scooters, red helmets, and red vests filled their eyes. It was not just ten units. The whole crossroad was filled with the red delivery service fleet! There were almost fifty units! The scooters immediately surrounded this whole area.

“Shit! What gives? They’re all cheap scooters!” yelled Jacob. He then turned to Philip and asked, “Did you call for them?”

Philip nodded. “Yeah.”

“Hahaha!” There was a burst of laughter.

“You think that calling a bunch of delivery men over would be useful?” Jacob laughed out loud as he belittled.

Kyle was too lazy even to ridicule him, only shaking his head. Was this guy really an idiot? To actually have the guts to do such an embarrassing thing. Was this a popular method nowadays? To call for delivery services to save yourself. It was hilarious.

Lynn was among the biker’s team. When she saw this scene, she could not resist laughing out loud. This cousin brother-in-law of hers was just too much. How could her cousin have fallen for such a man? He was garbage!

Just then, from among the delivery fleet, Agnes came out in a black skirt suit. Under the headlights of the scooters, she walked toward Philip.

Philip only gave her a signal with his eyes and Agnes understood. Philip had explicitly told her before that his identity was not to be revealed. This man was really low profile.

Agnes then turned around to face Kyle and his group, saying leisurely, “I am Philip’s manager. If you have a problem with him, you can talk to me.”

Kyle’s eyes scanned Agnes up and down. This woman was exquisite. She was better than the young girls around him.

“Okay, I’ll talk to you then,” Kyle answered happily. “Three hundred thousand. Once we get the money, he can leave.”

Agnes frowned slightly. She looked at the Harley on the ground and said coldly, “Sure. But, we choose to settle it with a police report.”

Police report? Kyle frowned immediately.

The police were the most troublesome existence for a biker gang. Moreover, what happened tonight was mostly Jacob’s fault. If they made a police report, he would not have it well. The most important thing was Kyle did not bring his driving license out today.

“Babe, talks don’t work this way. It’s too insincere.” Kyle’s expression darkened. The people behind him started cracking their knuckles.

However, the moment they took a step forward, the delivery men in red vests around them rolled up their sleeves furiously, ready to dole out a beating. How could they still negotiate? It was ten people versus over forty greasy grown men. There was nothing left to negotiate!

Kyle knew that this situation was not favorable for him. He gritted his teeth and said, “Fine. You win in numbers. Let’s go.” He then led his group onto their modified bikes and drove away.

While they were still in view, Kyle lifted a middle finger at Philip. Lynn had shot Philip a cold glare, despising him even more. What was he arrogant about? A shitty delivery man like him actually needed a woman to fight for his honor. Serves him right to be a kept man for the rest of his life!

After the biker gang had disappeared into the distance, Agnes finally let out a sigh of relief. She turned to ask respectfully, “Boss, are you okay?”

The crowd of brothers started chiming in to ask about his well being too.

“I’m fine, I’m fine, you guys can head back now,” said Philip.

After making sure that Philip was alright, Agnes led the team away.

This crisis went away as quickly as it came. Philip got onto his bicycle and went back to the hospital. Wynn had come to the hospital later that night and got into bed with Mila after freshening up. Philip, instead, sat on the long bench outside the ward to pass the night.

***

Today was the old man, Charles Johnston’s birthday. After giving it some thought, Philip decided to make a trip over. As for his birthday present, Philip had brought along the Chinese painting, that Russell had gifted to him. Russell was a famous collector within the country, so the paintings from him were definitely genuine and could fetch a high price.

However, Philip knew that whatever gift he brought, it would still be scorned upon. But he did not mind it. It was just a token of his regard.

At the entrance of Virtuous Court, the place where Wynn had said to meet up, a beautiful silhouette of a woman was standing beside the door, evidently anxious.

Wynn Johnston had especially worn a long black dress today with her hair combed up. She looked gorgeous and elegant. But, this woman was cold to Philip.

Philip walked over, lazily, and teased, “Hey, are you waiting for me?”

Wynn frowned and shot Philip a look of disdain. “Did you bring a gift for my dad?”

Philip showed her the long gift box in his hand. “Yeah, I did.”

Wynn did not even bother to look and just turned around to strut into the restaurant in her high heels. She had to beg her father for a long time before she was allowed to bring Philip along.

“Once we get inside, don’t say anything rash. A lot of my family members and my father’s friends are here today, and if they say anything about you, just bear it. You just have to remember one thing today, that is to apologize to my parents. If you can do that, I won’t divorce you,” urged Wynn.

Philip chuckled, not taking her words to heart. If the old man knew of his identity, he might have been so frightened that he would come out to receive him at the door.

Seeing Philip keep quiet, Wynn looked back and glared at him, asking sternly, “Do you understand?”

“Got it,” answered Philip.

When the two of them entered the private room, the Johnston family and Charles’s friends have already gathered. It was lively inside.

“Look who’s here, the Johnston’s great beauty.”

“Wynn, you’re late today, so you have to drink as a penalty.”

“Sister Wynn, sit with me.”

The crowd was ardently greeting Wynn and completely ignoring Philip who was following closely behind her. He regretted coming now.

Although Philip was already used to the Johnston family being cold to him, to be publicly ostracized was still upsetting.

Charles Johnston and his wife, Martha Yates, were sitting at the head of the table, talking cheerfully to the people around them. However, when they saw Philip, Charles gave a cold snort before ignoring him altogether.

This son-in-law was too much of an embarrassment. There were not only family members here today but his friends as well. If it were not for his daughter, Charles would never have let Philip take one step inside.

Just then, the door of the private room was pushed open again and a well-dressed man in a branded full suit stood at the door.

Philip had seen this man once or twice before. The man was from a wealthy family. His family had a solid background and was an influential bunch in Riverdale City. This man had also been pursuing Wynn for a long time now.

  • The First Heir   Chapter 11

    Sigh! His wife was just too beautiful that so many people were trying to court her. It gave Philip a headache. “Hey, Aiden’s here! Come, come, come and sit beside your Uncle Johnston.” Martha was clearly enthusiastic as she welcomed him. “Why did you have to bring gifts? You’re just too kind. Just your presence would have been enough!” “It’s Uncle Johnston’s birthday, after all.” Aiden smiled and walked over to sit beside Charles. At this, the crowd started shooting mocking looks at Philip. This son-in-law of the Johnston family was just too wretched. Even an outsider could sit beside Charles Johnston, but as a son-in-law, he had to sit closest to the door. This difference in treatment was just too obvious. Martha was smiling with her eyes as she looked at Aiden like she was looking at her future son-in-law. “It’s thanks to Aiden reserving this private room that we get to dine here at Virtuous Court today.” The crowd then looked at Aiden in adoration. To be able to reserve a

    Watching everyone causing a commotion, Wynn felt like she was sitting on needles. Although she did not know what Philip had prepared, he had told her that it was a painting. Philip was not a complete idiot, so he had brought the painting that Russell had given him. But sadly, Wynn did not know. She only thought that Philip had simply bought a random decorative painting. Now that Aiden had brought out his famous Chinese painting and received great comments from everyone, the painting in Philip’s hand paled compared to a treasure like that. He would be humiliating himself if he took it out. “It’s just a gift. There’s nothing to see.” Wynn chirped in for Philip before shooting him a vicious look. If he humiliated himself in front of everyone today, she would hate him forever! She would never be able to lift her head up again in front of Aiden. “Sis, you’re just rude now. We can’t ignore Cousin Brother-in-law’s regards,” Lynn giggled as she said. She then walked over and snatched the

    “Since Mr. Clarke isn’t here, I won’t disturb you any longer. Please have a great time.” Javier had come so suddenly and left after delivering gifts, leaving the crowd shocked. Charles coughed with the card still in his hand and asked, “Does any of you know this Mr. Clarke?” Everyone shook their heads. A figure powerful enough to have the owner of Virtuous Court personally bring over delicious food and great wine was not someone they could be acquainted with their lowly status. “Could it be Philip Clarke?” No one knew who had said this for fun, but the whole room burst into laughter. “Stop joking, how could it be that trash? If it were him, I’d eat these wine bottles.” “Other than having the same last name, what else does our cousin brother-in-law have to show for?” A few of the youngsters were mocking without reserve. Wynn found it hard to bear, so she scolded furiously, “That’s enough! What are you guys saying? He is still your cousin brother-in-law no matter what!”

    Philip pondered before saying, “I won’t meet him for now. Let’s talk about it in the future.” Anna replied, “Understood, Mr. Clarke.” After the call ended, Philip sat in the corridor and slept the night away. The next day, early in the morning, Wynn said to him coldly, “I’m taking Mila home in the afternoon, will you be coming with me?” Philip nodded and gave her a bitter smile. “I’ll go and apologize to Father.” Wynn’s heart skipped a beat when she heard him, but her expression remained indifferent, only nodding without saying anything. In the afternoon, Philip and Wynn brought Mila to the Johnston family home. The atmosphere in the house was cold as soon as they entered. “Dad, I’m home.” Wynn feigned composure. No one came out to greet them. Charles was sitting on the sofa wearing reading glasses as he read the paper while Martha was busy in the kitchen. Philip put Mila down, and the little girl immediately hid behind her father’s leg, hugging Philip’s leg tightly.

    Aiden, who had been looking cheery, was now in a daze. What was going on? Mr. Clarke was upset, so the gallery was not to be opened to the public. Could there be any other reason more random than this? No, he must have done something wrong. “What’s wrong Addy, did something happen?” Charles and Martha found Aiden’s expression a little odd. “Oh, it’s nothing, nothing at all. They’re just reporting the gallery’s situation to me.” Aiden forced out a smile then added, “Uhm, Uncle Johnston, I have some urgent matters, so I will be leaving now.” He then stood up to leave. “Oh, Addy, is it really urgent? Won’t you be staying for dinner?” Martha followed closely behind him and saw him out the door. “Maybe next time. Goodbye, Uncle Johnston, Aunt Martha.” Aiden hurried away. Of course, he would be in a rush. If something happened to the gallery booking, he would lose all face in front of his future father-in-law. He had to rush over to the gallery to see what was going on. After seein

    “Causing trouble?” Anna frowned. Her aura became colder as the temperature around fell by a few degrees. Whoever dared to cause trouble at Civil Gallery must have eaten a bear’s heart! When Allison saw Anna’s reaction, her mouth curved into a cruel smile. She pointed to Philip, who had his hands stuffed in his pockets as he stood leisurely, and said, “That’s right. It’s that migrant worker over there. He’s not only causing trouble but was even delusional, saying that he wants to see you. I scolded him for a bit, but he said I didn’t have the right to be at Civil Gallery. Isn’t he an idiot?” Anna glanced coldly at Allison. Although she was not fond of Allison’s condescending tone, the girl was still one of her people, so she kept quiet. Anna then strutted elegantly over to Philip and asked with a straight face, “You’re the one causing trouble?” Philip glanced at this woman in front of him. She’s Anna Carter? Not bad. Gorgeous and very endearing. Philip did not answer but quietly t

    “Lloyd Zalman, who allowed you to come in here?” Anna denounced icily. She despised this shitty fat man because he had been coveting her for a long time now. Whenever he had time, Lloyd would come into her office and shamelessly tried to take her to a dinner date. He was also underhanded, always trying to bring his friends and family members into Civil Gallery through his connection. For example, Allison Cooper was one of the people he had brought in. “Anna Carter, what’s with your attitude? As the operations director of Civil Gallery, can’t I come here to take a rest?” Lloyd Zalman settled himself comfortably into the sofa. Like a huge pile of meat, he had layers of fats on his stomach that his shirt was threatening to burst open. “This is not somewhere you can enter. Leave immediately,” Anna pointed to the door and said coldly. The new owner was right here, but this idiot was so presumptuous. Lloyd chuckled then glanced at Philip and teased shamelessly, “You’re really somethi

    Philip smiled. “I’m here to take a look.” What a coincidence to run into Aiden here. “Take a look? What’s there for you to see?” Aiden sounded displeased. “Do you know where this is? Is this a place someone like you can enter? Get out this instant!” Aiden hated Philip. The broke man had stolen his goddess from him, and now, he even came to Civil Gallery for a stroll. Did this man not realize that he was tainting this gallery with his existence? Philip frowned slightly, feeling irked. “Why can’t I be here to look?” This Aiden Grant had no idea that the man standing in front of him was the new owner of Civil Gallery, so he still had the gall to look down on him. Philip felt disgusted. “Hahaha!” Aiden laughed out incredulously. “Philip, you’re such a fool. Do you know what kind of people are allowed in Civil Gallery?” “This, I really don’t know,” Philip calmly answered. Aiden tipped his chin up, already forgotten what he came here to do. When else would he humiliate Philip i

    A young man about the same age as him was so talented. Could anyone not be jealous? However, Louis was truly not jealous. He just wanted to learn from Philip. If Philip was really that strong, he would obey. Although Louis had a high status in the guild, he was not highly valued. That useless loser was given priority when it came to most of the resources, which made Louis upset. By right, resources should be allocated to talented people, but things were different because Hogster had a guild leader for a father. Thinking of this, Louis smiled at Philip expectantly. If Philip was worth following, he would leave the Hexa Guild without hesitation. “I want to apologize for offending you earlier. I also want to follow you, but I don’t know if I’m good enough. If you won’t consider me, I hope you can give my son a chance. He’s pretty talented.” Dennis was very polite as he apologized to Philip. Philip was surprised and thought that Dennis was quite nice. Philip invited them insi

    Dennis and Louis quickly arrived at the door and knocked nervously. Rabbit opened the door this time. He did not expect to see Dennis again. He thought Dennis was here to cause trouble, so he scowled. “Why are you here again, old man? Do you want to cause more trouble for us? You’d better think twice or I’m going to get angry!” Rabbit said fiercely. Rabbit easily crushed them earlier, so they would not forget about their miserable defeat so quickly. Louis was embarrassed to hear that this rabbit had defeated his father. He had always thought that Dennis was very powerful and would not lose to a younger person no matter what. Unexpectedly, Dennis was not only defeated but lost miserably too. Louis keenly perceived that this talking rabbit was Philip’s pet and became excited. If Philip's pet was so powerful, Philip should be better. Thinking of this, he was excited and wanted to see Philip immediately. Rabbit stared at Dennis and Louis, wondering what they were up to.

    Celeste was surprised to see that Esther had restored her appearance. She had just seen Esther wearing a veil to cover her ugly face when they first met earlier. “Amazing! You look beautiful all of a sudden,” Celeste praised Esther from the bottom of her heart. Celeste did not know how it happened, but there had to be a reason for it. Esther smiled at Celeste. “Now that I’m beautiful, I can fully focus on taking care of Philip. Don’t worry, I won’t be worse than you.” Hearing that, Celeste was puzzled by Esther’s aggression. While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, an uninvited guest turned up at the door. It was none other than Dennis of the Hexa Guild. Dennis was not alone as he had brought his son along with him. His son was quite talented and always listened to his father's opinions. After all, he knew that he would not be where he was without his father’s guidance, and most of his father’s decisions were correct. “Father, are you sure we should leave the guild

    Esther never thought that her curse could be lifted so quickly. More importantly, Esther found that all the negative energy in her body had disappeared. She took off her veil and looked at them with her true appearance. Esther was beautiful by nature, but the nasty technique had impacted her self-esteem. Now that she had regained her appearance, Esther’s confidence returned as well. “Wonderful! This technique is the perfect improved version! With this technique, our members can practice like any normal person without worrying about their appearance. Other guilds can’t kick a fuss over it or try to mess with us again!” Jamie was ecstatic and abruptly remembered a very important question. “By the way, what’s the deal with this technique? Did someone give it to you?” Jamie had to get to the bottom of it. It was very important. He would be uneasy if he did not figure out the situation. “Philip gave it to me. I don't know how he got our technique, but he’s quite good at studying

    Philip nodded. That was his intention too. It would be best if Carlos did all the work for him. After getting Philip's consent, Carlos rushed out excitedly. He took the booklet to Jamie. Esther and Jamie were discussing the plan of operation. “You have to catch hold of Philip. I finally got you here. Don't let us down. It’s best if you can trick Philip into joining our guild!” Jamie persuaded Esther, hoping she could trick Philip into joining the guild. Esther sighed helplessly. She knew what she should do, but Philip was clearly not buying it. She was not as pretty as Celeste, and she had this curse on her, so she could not hold her head high at all. At this time, Carlos rushed over in a panic. “Why are you in such a hurry? You’re already a father, but you’re still so impulsive—just like a child who never grows up!” Jamie sighed helplessly at Carlos’ behavior. Carlos was like a brother who grew up with him, and the two of them had always had a good relationship. Carlos w

    Carlos thought Philip would do something to him, but Philip simply handed him something he took out of his pocket. “Try practicing this technique.” After Philip handed him the item, he stared at Carlos, waiting for the result. Carlos was relieved to hear it. He had thought Philip was going to do something to him, but it turned out that Philip simply wanted Carlos to try a technique out. Carlos smiled and shook his head. “We can’t practice other techniques different from our own unless someone can make improvements to our existing technique. Only then do we have the chance to learn something new. But do you know how difficult it is to improve a technique?” Carlos smiled helplessly. Their people had been trying to improve their technique forever. After all, the side effects of the technique were simply annoying, but it was easier said than done. Their predecessors had been studying it for years but to no avail. They had no choice but to give up. Now, only one elder was resp

    “Since she’s one of your people, she can stay, but don’t try to do anything,” Philip said. Philip glanced at the holy maiden. Before he could say anything else, something appeared in his mind. It was the technique she practiced. Philip had no idea what happened. He had merely glanced at her when her technique appeared in his mind. Although it was weird, Philip did not think it was a bad thing. Instead, he was happy. He knew that it was a special ability. Thinking of this, Philip was in a good mood. He went back to his room after excusing himself. He wanted to study the technique carefully. It would be best if he could discover something. The holy maiden watched indignantly as Philip left. Jamie knew that Celeste’s biggest advantage was her looks. She was so beautiful that the holy maiden felt the pressure. “Stay here with peace of mind and treat it as your own home. No need for formalities,” Celeste said to them with a smile as if she were the mistress of the house. Jam

    Philip waved his hand. That was not what he meant. At this time, Celeste walked out of her room. She had fallen in love with cooking and always immersed herself in the kitchen, figuring out different recipes. In the past, Celeste lived alone in the gloomy forest without freedom or friends. After meeting Philip, she became more vibrant. Celeste would feel a sense of achievement whenever Philip ate the food she cooked. Seeing her, Philip greeted Celeste and introduced the visitors to her. “I don’t need a maid. I already have someone to take care of the household chores. Thank you for your kindness,” Philip said with a smile. Celeste had been doing a good job, so Philip did not think he needed another woman to take care of him. The more women around, the more trouble there would be. The holy maiden froze in surprise at the sight of such a beautiful woman around Philip. Although she was not ugly, she had to live with this ugly appearance until her marriage because of that nas

    “That’s enough. Stop talking about me. You might as well think about how to deal with Hogster and the others. The Hexa Guild will definitely come after you.” Philip greeted Jamie calmly without taking the incident seriously at all. Seeing his reaction, Jamie thought that Philip was more and more unfathomable. The Hexa Guild was making a big fuss over this case. Many guilds had accepted the Hexa Guild’s gifts and now stood in opposition to the Celestial Palace. Although this matter had nothing to do with those guilds at all, they accepted the Hexa Guild's gifts in exchange for hyping the news up. It would be best if the two guilds fought. Maybe they could take advantage of the situation in the process! The other major guilds were waiting to watch the excitement too. They hoped that the Celestial Palace would be affected by this incident and it would maybe result in them losing the guild competition. Philip was also quite interested in the guild competition but was more curious
