The First Heir Chapter 1584
Hiss! The atmosphere in the small conference room became extremely somber all of a sudden. “Why is he back all of a sudden? Did you detain him?” Mr. Jenkins from earlier asked nervously at this moment. Another person also followed and asked, “He’d better not ruin our plan at this juncture or all our efforts will be wasted.” “What exactly is the situation, Mr. Johnston? Quickly tell us.” Martin nodded and said, “According to our plan, our people would detain him and Wynn as long as they appeared. But now there are some problems. Philip is not as simple as we thought. Even Webster Shaw has been arrested because of him. Moreover, according to the information I received, Theo Zander is also working for Philip—most likely for Wynn. He came back this time and brought a lot of people with him. Theo also arrived in Riverdale not long ago and helped Philip resolve the crisis. Hence, our operation has failed this time.” After Martin finished speaking, the entire conference room fell
The First Heir Chapter 1585
This furious roar shook the entire room until it was buzzing! Everyone followed the sound and saw Philip with his hands in his trouser pockets, followed by Theo who respectfully stood at his side. They were leading a dozen thugs in black suits who were barging in! At this moment, everyone panicked! Martin’s face was dark as he stared at Philip who was approaching him. He said solemnly, “Who let you in? I’ve reserved this room. Get out of here!” Martin was furious. This Philip Clarke was really lawless! He even barged into his private room! Thinking about what Philip had done to him earlier, Martin was very upset. If he did not personally teach this arrogant junior a lesson, what qualifications did he have to continue to stay in Riverdale? “Philip, this conference room has been reserved by my second brother. Get out of here immediately!” Bernard Johnston, who was on the side, also stood up at this moment and angrily pointed at Philip's nose while cursing. However...
The First Heir Chapter 1586
Philip smiled and turned to Martin, who was standing with his hands behind his back. He said, “Martin, why aren’t you saying anything?” Martin’s face was cold as he waved his hand and shouted, “I have nothing to say. Your words are all nonsense! I’m just talking to my friends. Besides, I’ll resign from Beacon tomorrow. What does it matter to you what I do?” “That’s right, what does it matter to you what Martin does? Are you trying to force him or something?” Bernard’s face was cold as he echoed. Philip nodded and looked at Martin before saying, “Actually, whatever you do is meaningless to me. Because all of you are unqualified, even if you join forces.” “Insolence! Philip, you simply don’t put us in your eyes!” “You’re just relying on your wife to get to the top position and got to know some people through her. Do you really think you’re that great?” “Hehe, how dare a kept husband spout such big words?” For a while, several board members expressed their dissatisfaction on
The First Heir Chapter 1587
They had planned to use divestment as a threat at first, but now, it seemed that Philip was determined to let them divest. Did he really have the ability to get 1.6 billion in funds to fill the gap after their divestment? If this could not be done in time, Beacon would face bankruptcy and liquidation! “Hmph, are you trying to scare me?” Martin roared and threw the agreement in his hand to the floor! How dare Philip do this? Was he trying to scare them? Following that, Martin looked at the several board members and shouted, “Don't let him scare you. He’s deliberately putting up a tough front and trying to deter you!” The board members looked at the divestment agreement in their hands and panicked a little. What should they do? Did they really have to divest? They looked at each other with a worried look in their eyes. This scene fell in the eyes of Martin and Bernard. They naturally sensed that the situation was dangerous. If they did not divest, what would they
The First Heir Chapter 1588
Martin laughed scornfully and said, “Don’t talk to me about Milanelson Angel Investment Group. Your mother-in-law has investigated it before. It’s just a shell company with no money left. Besides, your mother-in-law also told us that you’re the bankrupt young master of some Clarke Group? Hahaha, that’s really ridiculous. You have to pay a huge debt, right? Right now, you’re nothing but a pathetic dog that’s living off the scraps given by Wynn. As long as you kneel down to apologize and stand on our side, I can give you more than Wynn gave you. What do you think?” Martin Johnston was a cunning old fox. He was actually trying to come between Philip and Wynn’s relationship. Smack! Philip put the teacup on the coffee table heavily and raised his eyebrows, looking at the board members who had various expressions in front of him. He said, “I’m afraid to disappoint you, then. I can easily get 1.6 billion dollars in minutes. Do you believe it?” “Why are you bragging? At this time, do
The First Heir Chapter 1589
Very soon, ten minutes went by. There was still no movement downstairs. Bernard was even standing at the window and deliberately looking outside. Except for a few cars that drove past, there was no sign of any delivery trucks on the streets. There was not even a person! He turned around, shook his head at Martin, and said, “Martin, there’s nothing downstairs.” Martin immediately slapped his hands on the armrests, got up, and laughed unrestrainedly. He mocked Philip, “My dear nephew, what now? Ten minutes have passed. Where are your cash delivery trucks? Where’s the 1.6 billion dollars in cash? Hahaha!” Immediately after, the surrounding directors also spoke sarcastically, “I'm laughing my ass off. It's really fun to watch this drama at night.” “Yes, even though I’m an old man now, I can still watch such funny things happening. I’ll remember this for the rest of my life. Maybe I can even live longer from laughing at this.” “Philip, where’s your convoy? We’ve waited for te
The First Heir Chapter 1590
There was 50 million dollars in each case! Seeing this, the hearts of Martin and the others dropped to rock bottom! Philip actually got his hands on 1.6 billion dollars? In such a short time too! This was terrifying! What kind of strength would it take to do all this? Martin was flustered and extremely scared. What kind of monster was he fighting against? With such strength, why was Philip still in the Johnston family where he had to suffer from the contempt of others? “Did you prepare all this?” Martin was still a little suspicious. However, right after that, a middle-aged man in a gray suit quickly ran in from the door. He stood respectfully in front of Philip, bent over, and said with his head lowered, “Young Master Clarke, thank you for using Swiss Bank. Here’s 1.6 billion dollars in cash. This is your black card. Please check it.” Swoosh! Everyone was shocked when they heard the Swiss Bank being mentioned. At this moment, seeing the middle-aged man respec
The First Heir Chapter 1591
This damned Philip dared to threaten them like this! Abominable! How hateful! After Philip left, Bernard breathed a sigh of relief and asked his second brother, “Martin, what should we do now? We’ve really landed ourselves in trouble. I don’t think Philip will let it go. Who would have thought that he actually has a black card from the Swiss Bank? This is simply unbelievable!” Bernard was very uneasy. How could they deal with Philip, a person who owned a black card from the Swiss Bank? It was impossible! Such a person could make all of them bankrupt and homeless just by lifting his finger. Martin’s face was very unpleasant. Standing with his hands behind his back, there was a mess of emotions on his face. Several members of the board also looked worried and sorrowful at this moment. They looked at Martin and asked, “Mr. Johnston, what should we do now? We’re stuck in a rut with you now.” “That's right, Mr. Johnston. We withdrew our capital from Beacon after listening

The First Heir Chapter 6206
Fitz felt particularly bad at the thought that he failed to protect his people. He vowed to take revenge. People of other races shared the same thoughts. Everyone thought that their people had gone out to seek ways to leave but were met with an accident. Unexpectedly, they were harmed by the spider people, which was simply despicable and unacceptable. “You just need to sacrifice one more person for everyone to leave this dangerous place and lift the curse from us,” Weaver said. Everyone's eyes turned bloodshot at his words, shocked that Weaver would say that so openly. “Hehe, you’re really bold to perform a sacrifice. Why not use one of your own?” Fitz laughed and stared at Weaver. Weaver scowled. Of course, the idea crossed his mind, but the records stated that they had to use other races for sacrifice. Using their own people as sacrifice would void it, so they had to use others. This would not only reduce the other party’s manpower but also save a lot of effort. However,
The First Heir Chapter 6205
Philip wanted to figure out what the spider people were up to. It looked like they had been planning this for a long time, which was terrifying. He had to let the others know about this. Everyone had the right to know. Moreover, the pitiful magpie woman was scared out of her wits. Philip had to bring her home. “Let's go back now. We’ll explore this place later. Do you want to stay here or go out with us?” Philip looked at Celeste curiously. He did not think she was brave enough to venture out. Sure enough, Celeste tugged at the corner of her clothes as she pondered. “I'll go out with you!” Celeste finally decided after much deliberation. Since she had decided to follow Philip, there was no point in hiding here anymore. She had to pluck up the courage. Celeste had lived in the forest for very long and had never gone out before, so she was curious about the outside world. “I want to see the outside world!” Celeste said nervously. Philip simply nodded without a word. The
The First Heir Chapter 6204
At this point, Philip sprang into action. He appeared in front of the other party, catching them off guard. “Who allowed you to kill people for no reason?” The spider people were shocked by Philip’s sudden appearance. They were frightened to see someone there, and he was none other than the human who had strayed into this place by accident. The spiders panicked and wanted to run, but Philip quickly released Puffy. The spider people could not escape because of the curse placed on them and also because of Puffy's existence. The passage only allowed entry, not exit. When anyone stepped into that passage, they would not only come under Puffy’s attack but also suffer a gut-wrenching pain. They felt something was wrong when they tried to escape. Someone noticed Puffy approaching them and yelled in fear, “It’s that deadly thing!” Someone recognized Puffy and ran away screaming. They had no chance of winning against Puffy, so they had no choice but to run. Seeing someone running aw
The First Heir Chapter 6203
Philip could tell that Celeste wanted to help, but she was too weak to do anything. “Don’t worry so much. Let’s wait and see what happens. If possible, we won’t stand by and do nothing. These people are simply outrageous.” Philip did not have a good impression of the spider people, and this incident made it worse. “Not bad!” Rabbit hopped onto Celeste’s shoulder excitedly. Ever since he found out that Celeste had no ability, he liked her even more. He liked people who had no combat power. Except for that extra eye, there was nothing strange about her. Besides, she was quite a beautiful woman, so Rabbit was fond of her. “Philip will take care of it. Don’t worry about it. He’s an outstanding man who fights for justice. You’ll have a good life if you follow Philip, especially since you have that ability but are powerless to take care of yourself. I’m sure you need someone to protect you,” Rabbit chattered away. Rabbit knew how special Celeste’s ability was. She would be of gr
The First Heir Chapter 6202
Celeste seemed simple and kind, and after she told Philip everything she knew, Philip and Rabbit gradually changed their minds about her for the better. “We actually learned such a big secret this time. What a surprise!” Philip exclaimed. He followed Celeste to the altar, which was very far away. Before they reached the altar, they smelled a strong stench of blood. Philip frowned at this unexpected development. Rabbit covered his nose in surprise at the strong stench of blood. “Wait, I don’t think it’s human blood.” Philip sensed that the blood came from the few pitiful races. “I can smell it. Except for the spider people, I smell the blood of other races!” At this moment, a soft sound came from the side. Celeste quickly pulled Philip and Rabbit to hide in the corner. Celeste had lost the ability to be invisible, so she could only take Philip to hide in a panic. She knew that they could not expose themselves. “Someone is coming. Stay here and don’t do anything. You’ll f
The First Heir Chapter 6201
“No one ever comes to my place. You must be outsiders.” Celeste was curious, wondering who Philip was. Celeste knew about the four unique races, but Philip’s appearance and form did not fit any of them. “You’re right. I’m an outsider. I wanted to know something, so I came to the forest. It’s best if you can give me an answer. I don’t intend to harm anyone. If you can answer my questions, I’ll leave and remove the curse on you as well,” Philip persuaded her. He felt that the woman was quite sincere, different from what he imagined. In that case, there was no need to make things difficult for her. Besides, he did not feel a murderous vibe in her, so she had probably never done anything bad. Philip had no reason to make things difficult for someone who liked to hide and sing. “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I know, but I don’t really know much. I usually stay in my own territory and have no contact with the outside world. Even the other races don't know of my existence.” Rabbit
The First Heir Chapter 6200
Philip felt that there was no problem with his hearing. Someone was humming a song, and the tune sounded very strange and spooky in the dark forest. Rabbit frowned and nodded. He also heard the strange sound and was scared. “Who has nothing better to do but to sing here?” Rabbit nervously grabbed the corner of Philip's clothes, afraid that Philip would leave him behind. Philip shook his head. According to the others, no one would come here for no reason. Due to various dangers in the forest, they would only wander around the edge without seeking trouble in the depths. In that case, the abrupt singing voice was very strange, indeed. “Philip, don't be nervous. Stay calm.” Rabbit's voice was trembling. Although Rabbit kept telling Philip to stay calm, he was already freaking out, so scared that he nearly wanted to run away. Philip knew Rabbit’s character, so he did not comment. He simply observed the surroundings and listened carefully to the sound, which was so ethereal tha
The First Heir Chapter 6199
Philip took Puffy along and quickly arrived in a forest where the other races usually hunted, so they should not face any danger here. As soon as Philip left, a woman appeared in the corner and looked in the direction where Philip left with a conflicted look on her face. “Should I follow him?” Ariadna had been left behind in the snake people’s village. She had no friends, and no one paid her any attention. Sometimes, they even displayed their ridicule and disdain for her. She did not get good treatment even though she was a junior from the outside world. In desperation, Ariadna decided to follow Philip. Unexpectedly, she saw Philip with a cute kid the next second. Ariadna was surprised to see that Philip had such a big and cute child. “Wait, that kid looks a little weird.” Due to the distance, Ariadna could not see what the kid looked like, but his color and body shape seemed different from that of normal people. After much deliberation, Ariadna decided to tag along, co
The First Heir Chapter 6198
“I’ll look around and find out what’s going on. Don’t worry about me. Look for Ronan if anything crops up.” Philip decided to leave Ronan in charge. Ronan did not object. He knew that Philip wanted to train him. He rarely interacted with others, so he had poor social skills. He had improved with Philip’s help, but his skills were still nothing compared to Philip’s subordinates. He was deeply moved by the opportunity that Philip had given him. “Sure enough, heroes will emerge from the youth. You two will have a bright future!” Wren said excitedly. Philip did not comment. After a few pleasantries, he wandered around with Rabbit. Selma and her people had no time for Philip. They finally found their predecessors, so they had many questions to solve. Philip was most interested in getting to the bottom of this mysterious place. It felt more like a cage designed to trap them. It was devoid of rich energy and other resources suitable for them. What was the purpose of the person b
