The First Heir Chapter 154
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

Swoosh!The door opened to reveal Philip standing there.Martha’s expression froze. Then, she said curiously, “Aren’t you in jail? How did you get out?”Philip smiled and said, “Mom, I didn’t break the law, so naturally they let me out.”At the same time, Wynn heard Philip’s voice and ran out. She hugged Philip and wailed.Philip consoled her. “It’s alright now. I’m fine. See, I’m here now.”Everyone sat together in the living room.Martha and Charles sat on the sofa. Their eyes were piercing and they looked angry. They stared at Philip like they were going to interrogate him.There was an old man next to Philip. It was George.Martha started at George, looking annoyed, “Philip, who is this old man? How can you bring strangers into my house?”Martha did not like this old man’s outfit. He was old and wearing a suit. He was also holding a black hat that she had never seen before. There was a grin on his face.It was obvious that he was not an honorable person.No wonder Phili

“Oh, um… Mr. Thomas, please don’t misunderstand. Please don’t mind me. I’m just a wretched old woman. I was just babbling before. Please don’t take my words to heart.”Martha was frantic, but she was excited. She got up and went over to brew some tea and cut some fruits. She wanted so badly to give George all the best food in her home.George just smiled lightly. He said courteously, “You don’t have to do that. I’m just driving little Philip home. I’ll get going now.”“It’s nothing, it’s nothing at all. It’s such an honor to have you in our house, Mr. Thomas. Please have some, these are the fruits I just bought today. This is also the best Maojian tea. I won’t even be willing to drink this usually.”Martha’s attitude did a 180 change. She was eagerly attentive to George.She even interrupted Charles when he wanted to say something.“Sit there and read your newspaper,” Martha scolded Charles before turning around and looking at George like he was a national treasure. Her eyes were

This was Martha’s true self. She would reach out her hand and ask for money like it was the most natural thing to do.She was a woman with no shame.Philip was dumbfounded. He did not know what to say, so he looked at Wynn instead.Wynn walked over and said coldly, “Mom, what are you doing? Even if Philip has that money, we can’t give it to you. It’s for Mila’s treatment.”Wynn knew Philip’s personality. He must be saying that he had one million bucks to deal with Martha.However, he did not expect his mother-in-law to ask for the money.When Martha heard that, her face fell. She got up and started making a ruckus. “I never said I won’t use it to treat Mila. I’m just gonna keep this money for you and you can ask for it from me when you want to use it.”Wynn was furious. She would not give her the money no matter what.Martha did not even care about Mila. It would be hard to get the money back from her when she got her hands on the money.Martha turned her head to look at Phi

200 million? Derrick almost fell down from his chair.“Director Stanley, are you sure you’re not joking? It’s obvious that the terms in this contract are more beneficial to Beacon.” Wynn felt like she was dreaming. This was unbelievable.Director Stanley smiled and said, “Miss Johnston, we’ve already signed it. What else are you worried about?”Wynn looked over and the contract was indeed signed. It was also stamped.This meant that as long as Wynn signed it, the contract would be in effect.It seemed like Philip and Professor Turner’s relationship was not that simple. There must be something she did not know.She had to go back and ask Philip.Recently, Wynn realized she understood Philip less and less. He had changed too much.When she thought about that, Wynn lifted the pen and was about to sign.However, at this moment!The door of the meeting room was opened. In a flash, eight bodyguards in suits barged in and stood at the door.An elegant woman with a strapless lon
The First Heir Chapter 159
After that icy woman left the meeting room, everyone still could not calm down.Wynn’s face was burning. She did not even know who that was.However, it seemed like she knew Philip.Derrick looked apologetic. He said, “Director Stanley, I’m sorry about that. Um, about our collaboration...”Director Stanley smiled and tried to soothe the awkwardness. “Of course there’s nothing wrong with the collaboration. We can just…”Before he could finish, Director Stanley’s phone rang.After he answered the call, Director Stanley said a few things before his face fell. “Alright, I got it.”“What’s wrong, Director Stanley? What’s going on?” Derrick could read the changes in Director Stanley’s face.Did something happen?“I’m sorry, Mr. Hall, Miss Johnston. We have to stop this collaboration. I don’t really know the details. I have to go back and discuss this further with Director Turner. I’m sorry.”Director Stanley said that and left with his people. There were now only Derrick and his

Lynn was panicking. She stomped her feet and grabbed Philip’s arm. She said, “Philip, tell them if this is real or not. No, you have to call Theo now and tell him to come here!”Lynn was starting to throw a tantrum.She had never been suspected like this before, so of course she was feeling unhappy.However, Philip shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, I don’t know any Theo Zander. Lynn, did you make a mistake?”“Hahaha!”Laughter immediately erupted.Lynn’s face went red. She could feel the detest coming from her friends.She felt like a featherless chicken that was standing in front of everyone naked. She was being criticized and shamed by everyone.“Lynn, that’s enough. Your brother-in-law has already said that, so stop lying to us already. We won’t laugh at you.”“Your brother-in-law is an honest man. He’s not that much of an idiot it seems.”“That’s enough. We’ll just go and have fun ourselves.”Her friends left while laughing.Lynn was livid. She turned around angrily
The First Heir Chapter 161
She was panicking!Martha was beyond frantic now. She hurriedly took out her phone with trembling hands and took a photo.She wanted to save some evidence so that she could go back and ask Philip.Naturally, Martha was suspicious of Philip’s identity now.How could a spineless coward get into the same luxury car as the richest man in Riverdale?Martha could not understand this. She turned around and left.When she got back home, she told Charles everything. “Charlie, look at this. Is this Philip?”Charles was fiddling with his birds. He put down the birdcage and put on his presbyopic glasses to take a look. He said, “Why did you take his picture? Are you still following Philip?”Charles was shocked. What was wrong with his wife?She was even using such cheap tricks to stalk him?Martha glared at him and smacked him on the arm. She said, “Look at the person next to him!”Charles was curious. He looked closely and exclaimed, “Is… Is that George Thomas?”Martha nodded and sat

Argent was nothing more than average, but he was so full of himself. Philip felt that he might be inferior to the other party in that aspect. “All the rewards are in my hands. If you really want them, you can try to defeat me and take them away. Otherwise, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to get them with your strength.” Philip smiled at him. Although this guy was quite strong, he was no match for Philip. “I entered the top 100 of the advanced list when I was at your age. You’re nothing to me. Stop showing off in front of me.” A trace of disdain flashed across Argent’s face. He was clearly looking down on Philip. Philip nodded. This old man was very full of himself. His strength was undeniable, but it was nothing compared to Philip’s. “I heard that you don’t belong to a guild. Don't you feel ashamed? It’s a pity that no one is willing to take you in.” Philip smiled brightly. He said this on purpose to snub Argent. Argent was furious to hear Philip mocking him for this. He

After hearing Philip’s remarks, the guy trembled in anger. His name was Argent, nicknamed Silver Snake. He first came into contact with a practice technique when he was a teenager. As he did not know anything, he simply practiced the technique on his own. Unexpectedly, there was a problem with this technique. His height remained what it was in his teens, but his appearance became old. At first, he thought that he would always look like a teenager, but his appearance gradually became old and terrifying. No matter where he went after that, people would treat him as an old man even though he was only in his early 40s. Thinking of this, he felt sorry for himself, and his hatred for Philip deepened. Not only did his appearance change, but his practice level also slowly dropped to rock bottom. His mind gradually became more and more twisted because of this. Then, he stumbled into a cave and received a heritage by chance. The heritage was evil, but it helped him improve his practice

Philip nodded at the other party’s grace. “Not bad, that young man is quite decent.” Even though the other party was a middle-aged man, Philip called him a young man. Philip knew that someone else would approach him very soon. He could use this opportunity to find out more about the force behind the other party. He quickly reserved the inn and wandered around the streets. He wanted to see how many people were following him. Everyone had their own agenda and was up to no good. Philip soon saw a sneaky old man who did not seem to pose any threat. The old man looked at Philip thoughtfully with a hint of ridicule, which gave Philip an unpleasant feeling. “You should know the purpose of my visit. Do I need to elaborate?” the old man cut to the chase. Philip shook his head helplessly at the old man’s arrogance. The old man in front of him was quite powerful or he would not have been so arrogant. He thought he could deal with Philip easily with his strength. “You’re obviousl

Philip was surprised to hear that. “So, my performance was so outstanding that they can't wait to get rid of me.” Philip glanced at Duncan. Since he was not here for his money, there was no problem. Besides, he did not seem like a bad guy. “I have a job to do. I have to fulfill my responsibilities and obligations, so I need to report the situation truthfully.” Duncan knew he could not deal with Philip, so he had to find another way to negotiate with him. “If you promise not to take part in another match, I can consider letting you go for the time being. That way, I can go back and report my findings too.” He did not mention his men whom Philip took down as if they were not important at all. “Of course, I can’t agree to that. This isn’t as simple as you think. The people behind Deadly Arena won’t let me off so easily. Don’t worry about that,” Philip said with a smile. Since he knew that Duncan was from Deadly Arena, there was nothing more to say. Philip knew that Lyle

The captain was horrified by this scene. He did not expect that Philip was so powerful to take his men down in seconds. “What powerful magic is that?” Everyone was shocked to see Philip’s strength, and the troublemakers looked worried. “Let's go. Even the Shadow Army can't do anything to him. We stand no chance.” “I think he's concealing his strength, or there’s no way he could deal with the Shadow Army so easily.” The captain of the Shadow Army could not figure out what was going on. He had no idea if he could deal with Philip either. “I can deal with you easily, so stop wasting my time and just speak your mind. I hear that you’re from the Shadow Army. In that case, let’s have a good chat.” Philip quickly sat down with him in a tavern. “Let me introduce myself. My name is Duncan. It’s nice to meet you.” Since he decided to have a chat with Philip, he left nothing unsaid. The first step of good communication was to uncover his true details. “As you know, my name is Ph

“You seem stronger than Killer Bee. You might've stood a chance of winning if you had gone against him,” Philip taunted. Philip raised his head and took the punch without breaking a sweat. “If you want to steal from me, I'm sorry to tell you that you found the wrong target. If you just want to make friends with me, I’m more than happy to accept.” Philip grabbed the guy’s fist and threw him out with disdain, not taking him seriously at all. The guy did not expect that he would be tossed aside like a piece of trash and started panicking. Before he passed out, he only remembered that Philip easily dealt with him without breaking a sweat. He did not know what happened later, but he knew that Philip was so strong that he could kill him in a split second. If he could turn back time, he would never go after Philip again. Other people were shocked to see Philip’s strength. “He tossed the guy out so easily. This is terrifying. How did he do it?” “That’s impossible. That guy is p

Philip walked on the road leisurely, feeling honored to have so many people stalking him. “I’m surprised that I could attract so many people.” Philip sighed in amazement as he walked. Soon, he came across several good large inns and made his choice after some selection. He was not short of money, so he did not waste time on this. “I’m going to fully reserve this inn for the time being. I don't want to see other people on my territory, so your job is to keep irrelevant people out.” Philip negotiated with the innkeeper and received the other party's consent. After all, Philip’s offer was too good to refuse. They quickly reached an agreement, and Philip obtained the right to use the inn at a good price. At this time, a bunch of people surrounded Philip with disdain. “You’re quite bold to come out alone.” “It’s very interesting to see someone walking around with so many treasures on hand.” Everyone mocked with disdainful smiles on their faces. Philip shook his head helple

Very soon, someone sent Philip his rewards. The onlookers were surprised to see Philip receiving so many precious treasures. Some were happy while others were sad. Some envied Philip's treasures while others hankered after them. After all, not everyone could receive such rewards. Only practitioners who performed well had the opportunity to get these rewards that belonged to the advanced list. Although they could not do anything to Philip for the time being, Philip would leave Deadly Arena eventually. As long as they did not take action in Deadly Arena, no one would care what happened to Philip after that. “You can stay if you want to keep fighting. I’ll take a look around and find a place for us to stay,” Philip said to his people. These little guys had not shown off their strength yet, so they were sure to stay. Sure enough, everyone nodded. It was time for them to take the spotlight. Aslan and the others chose to stay. No one would miss the opportunity to show off. Philip
The First Heir Chapter 5728
Some people saw Philip's actions before he confounded everyone, so they were terrified. “What's going on? Has that guy gone crazy? I just saw him standing there motionless, waiting for Killer Bee to attack him.” “I would've moved ages ago. Killer Bee is very powerful. He was clearly lurking around, waiting for the chance to attack Philip, but Philip didn’t even try to dodge. Is he really that confident in his strength?” “It’s over. I bet tens of thousands of energy stones on Philip. Everything will go down the drain if he loses the match.” Everyone sighed, hoping Philip would not let them down. However, more people thought that Philip would definitely die this time. At his level, it was simply impossible for him to face Killer Bee's strongest sneak attack. The old men looked at Philip's action with excitement and anticipation, hoping that Philip would be killed immediately. “It’d be great if he died. We can recoup all our losses in one fell swoop.” “It’s good if we can
