In the villa, Theo was having a discussion with a few of his henchmen. When Nino Gil was uprooted previously, Theo had been unable to swallow such a big piece of cake at one go. Hence, he had to discuss the matter with his brothers. After all, there were too many venues to handle, and they were related to too many interests and connections in the background. At this moment, when Theo saw the panicked Tiger rushing in, he raised an eyebrow and asked, “Why are you so flustered?” “Theo, Mr. Clarke has been arrested.” Tiger was sweating profusely as he spoke, “I just came back and overheard that Mr. Clarke was arrested at Concord Hotel.” Theo stood up abruptly, his face full of anger. “What? How could he have been arrested?” “It seems that he molested a woman and was caught red-handed. However, according to our men, that woman belonged to Al Hopper, a small-time gangster,” Tiger explained. “Al Hopper?” Theo looked puzzled but said domineeringly, “I’ve not even heard of him an

On the top floor, in a room several hundred square meters wide, there was a huge electronic display screen. George Thomas bent over from his waist and stood in front of the screen. His stature was respectful as he faced an old man sitting in a wheelchair; the man in the wheelchair had a breathing mask over his face. “Old Master, Young Master is in trouble.” George’s voice was trembling as he spoke. On the screen, the old man merely raised his hand slightly and moved a few fingers. Only then was an old and weak voice heard, “Don’t be too ostentatious. Let Reed handle this matter.” “Yes, Old Master,” George acknowledged respectfully. He paused for a moment before asking, “Old Master, do we need to let Young Master know about the matter with Miss Sommerset?” A moment of silence ensued. The old man sighed and replied, “That girl is simply too arrogant. Let Phil handle the matter on his own, cough, cough…” The electronic screen turned off; George turned around with Julian an

Juan grinned broadly, leaned back into his chair comfortably, and said leisurely, “I’m not asking Captain Fuller to do anything against the law. Just let him stay inside for a few more days. He has violated the law after all. We are merely enforcing the law strictly and fairly, don’t you think so, Captain Fuller?” Juan chuckled as his face showed an expression of triumphant success. Next to his wife, Brian Fuller was a loser. That was his weakness. Brian considered it for a moment before nodding in agreement. “Okay.” Ten minutes later, Brian finished sorting out the documents. He headed to the director’s office, knocked on the door, and entered the room after getting a response. At the time, Deaton Wade, Director of the Riverdale Law Enforcement Bureau, was busy handling official matters. He was a good public servant of the people, working late hours into the night. “Brian, why are you here so late?” Deaton greeted him in a friendly manner. Holding up his teacup, he ble

“Director Wade, this old man shall thank you then. Next year, I plan to invest in the construction of a police school to support the social development of Riverdale,” George said. Gulp! Deaton was dumbfounded! A police school?! It was shocking! Too astounding! “Thank you for your great support toward our work! I’ll handle the matter personally. Please wait for a moment, and I’ll definitely give you a satisfactory answer!” Deaton hurriedly thanked George before hanging up the phone. He then took a long breath and recovered from the shock. Afterward, Deaton hastily donned his hat and prepared to go out. Apart from excitement, there was also anger! To have randomly arrested the young master of Mr. Thomas, his men were too reckless! At this time, the phone on his desk rang again. Deaton was already very anxious. He grabbed the receiver and asked impatiently, “Who is this? Can’t you call back later?” His tone was extremely unfriendly. Unexpectedly, a cold snort cam

Brian was dumbstruck. He had not expected Deaton to become enraged! He had never experienced such a thing before. As a veteran, Brian knew very well that something had to have happened! Could it be that the young man who had been arrested had a terrifying background?! “Director Wade, what happened?” Brian braced himself. Deaton glared at him and said coldly, “You dare ask me? What a stupid thing have you done? That man, where is he? Bring me to him now!” Brian Fuller was still unaware of the current situation. He had worked for the police force for many years, but he was still so ignorant. Brian knew that Deaton was enraged and dared not delay. Hence, he led Deaton way to the interrogation room. At this time, Philip was calmly resting with his eyes closed in the room. He was not worried at all. He had not done anything wrong. Naturally, someone would take care of the matter for him. He just had to wait in peace. However, Philip was contemplating one thing, and

He used another phone and called Al Hopper. The call was only answered after a long while.“Juan, are you surprised that it’s me?”Juan trembled at the familiar voice. His hands and feet turned cold as sweat started to roll down his forehead in beads.“Philip? How did you…”Juan’s words were stuck in his throat.This was Al’s number but Philip was the one who answered the phone. Even a pig-brained idiot would know what was going on.“Where’s Al?” Juan controlled his frantic emotions and asked. “In front of your house,” Philip said calmly. Then, there was a muffled voice coming from the phone.Juan was shocked. He stood up from the sofa and ran to the window, looking outside through the glass.Two black Mercedes-Benzs were parked in front of the entrance of the mansion. Their tail lights were shining in an ominous red glow.There was a man at the hood of the car. He was smoking a cigarette. The red glow of the cigarette caused Juan to panic.Philip!How did he get here so f
The First Heir Chapter 153
Philip squinted his eyes and there was a coldness in them.Juan trembled. He felt that at this moment, Philip was radiating an aura that he could not understand.It was an air of over-confidence.“Philip, do you think you’re all that because you know Theo?” Juan scoffed. He forced himself to calm down.This must be fake. How could a coward like Philip become so strong all of a sudden?Juan had his father. His father knew people.He was not worried about what Philip might do to him!However, in the next second, Philip said calmly, “Juan, I’m not targeting you, but you’re always targeting me. I know you’re the one behind what happened tonight. If I let you go just like this, I won’t be able to forgive myself and I won’t be able to face Wynn.”As for Juan, Philip still had some sadness in his heart. The word ‘friend’ had become foreign to him. Juan was stunned. He knitted his eyebrows together and chuckled coldly. “Philip, I don’t believe that you’ll do anything to me.”How

Back to Philip. After he got out of Juan’s mansion, he got into Theo’s car and drove to George’s place.“Old Man George, it’s so late. Why are you here?” Philip sat on the soft sofa and savored his wine.George walked in front of Philip respectfully and bowed. He said, “Young Master, I’m sorry. My mistakes have caused you to suffer unredressed injustice.”Philip replied indifferently, “Old Man George, don’t do this. It’s nothing. Tell me, what’s wrong? Why are you so anxious to see me?”George pondered for a while and answered deferentially, “Young Master, Miss Sommerset will be coming to Riverdale in a few days.”Clank!The room plunged into dead silence.Philip’s wine glass was suspended in the air. After a long while, he placed it on the marble coffee table that was adorned with gold lining. His face looked glum.His eyes looked lifeless. He looked as if he had something on his mind.After a long while, Philip asked while lifting his eyebrow slightly, “Why is she coming her

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

“Vanna mentioned that you enjoy drinking, so I prepared some fine wine for you.” Ronan said it so smoothly that he must have practiced it. Jamie was surprised to see Ronan taking a bottle of wine from his pocket, not at the wine itself. It proved that Ronan had a storage space. Thinking of this, Jamie felt better. Since Ronan had a storage space, he had to have a strong backing. Carlos had determined from various aspects that Ronan was a man with good character. In that case, Jamie had nothing more to worry about, and he could feel at ease again. “We’re about to hold a competition between the guilds. You can join us if you’re interested. Since you’re already part of us, you should do your best. If you can win the competition, I’ll consider officially acknowledging your identity.” Jamie seemed like a gentle and easygoing person. Ronan was excited by his words. He never dreamed that he would have the opportunity to be acknowledged. Ronan thought that he was unworthy of Vann

Jamie was startled. He never thought that someone would speak to him in this manner. With his high and mighty status, everyone spoke to him politely except Carlos. He was not used to someone treating him so frivolously. “I'm here to look for someone,” Jamie said with a smile. The rabbit meant no harm, so Jamie did not have to act like a domineering guild leader. Rabbit stepped aside. “Of course, I know you’re here to look for someone. There’s no other reason to be here otherwise. It's just a matter of whether you can see them.” Rabbit hopped away. He just wanted to see if it was a good or bad guy. After all, troublemakers would be taught a good lesson. Carlos walked out calmly with a teacup. He had fallen for the taste of tea. Philip’s tea was simply perfect. He would feel a fluctuation in his strength after drinking it. He was ecstatic at the discovery and was unwilling to return to the guild now. Taking a sip, he realized that someone familiar was standing at the door and

“I’m surprised that the Celestial Palace would be so shameless. Since they refuse to do things my way, they shouldn't blame me for doing this.” Alain decided to make good use of this incident to guilt-trip the Celestial Palace. He told his people to spread the news of the Celestial Palace to the public. All of a sudden, everyone knew that the young lady of the Celestial Palace had married another man without consent. The incident caused an uproar, and everyone was talking about it. It was one of the most explosive pieces of news in the world of practitioners. The Celestial Palace was a large guild that valued the personal conduct of their guild members. A member would be punished for doing such a thing, but their young lady had rebelliously chosen to be with a man of unknown origins. The news was all hyped up, and everyone waited to watch the excitement. Of course, the people of the Celestial Palace heard the news too. The guild leader scowled upon receiving it. He did not th

Sure enough, Alain was very angry. He stared at Dennis in disbelief, surprised at his defeat. “How did you end up losing? Is he really as strong as the rumors said? I refuse to believe that a little brat can bring you any harm!" Alain subconsciously felt that Dennis had not done his best. Alain was sure that Dennis was being overdramatic. Dennis had always been a powerful god of war. This unexpected outcome was simply impossible. Thus, he felt that Dennis had not done his best to fulfill his duty. “Although I only exchanged one move with that young man, I could easily tell his level. I could feel that he’s more talented than Hogster. I believe it’ll be a great help for us if we can take him under our wing.” Dennis was doing it for the benefit of the guild. It would be an advantage to the guild if they could get Ronan. However, his words infuriated Alain instead. He was angry at Dennis’ stupid suggestion. “Ronan is clearly not the same as us. No matter how strong he is, he

Although Dennis could not be bothered with Hogster, he had to fight for the chance to recruit Ronan. However, Ronan shook his head. “I already have Philip, so you can forget about it. So, do you still want to fight? I don't mind showing you my strength.” Ronan had simply executed a casual move just now, so it could not be considered a full-blown display of his powers. If Dennis still wanted to fight, he would oblige. Dennis shook his head. He could clearly tell that he was no match for Ronan. Although he wanted to teach Ronan a lesson, he would only end up tragically if he went ahead with it. He did not doubt that Ronan could easily crush him. “Please excuse our intrusion today.” Dennis bowed to Ronan and left without another word. He did not want to stay in this unpleasant place any longer. He was the third elder, a person of high status. Not to mention suffering an easy defeat, but he also had to apologize to the person who defeated him, which was simply woeful. The perso
