The First Heir Chapter 249
A loud, booming voice was heard from the other end of the line, containing a trace of melancholiness. “Bob, what has happened for you to call me this late at night? This is very unlike you.” Desmond Fargo was currently at home in his study room, looking at the following day’s work minutes. He was wearing reading glasses, and his hair was white at his temples. He carried the aura of someone who had been in an official position for a long time. His actions and demeanor were both stoic and resolute. Bob Yates was a good friend of his for many years. In the past, both of them were often seen hand-in-hand, achieving numerous accomplishments in the system together. Even though Bob had retired early, he still had a strong influence. That was especially true when it came to many students. Bob flicked a glance at the nonchalant Philip and said, “Desmond, my son Samson is facing some problems in his company. The tax officers got to him and said there are problems with his books. Plea

Bob quickly regained his senses and picked up his phone. He had another way out; the angel investor! As long as the angel investor continued to invest in the Yates, there was still a chance for him to make a comeback! Mr. Clarke. That was right, Mr. Clarke! That angel investor had mentioned it before that his actions were on the account of Mr. Clarke. Bob could not wait to find this mysterious and wealthy Mr. Clarke. However, at this moment. Philip glanced at his phone placidly and asked with a grin, “Old Master, are you trying to approach the foreign businessman that invested one billion in your family last time to come and save you?” Bob was startled. His gaze swept across Philip and saw a trace of victory in the latter’s eyes. Could it be, that Mr. Clarke was… No, impossible! Bob shook his head repeatedly and screamed in utter aversion, “It can’t be you! Impossible! You’re nothing but a worthless piece of trash, the useless son-in-law of the Johnston family!” H

Philip ignored Martha and turned his attention to the men standing outside the house. “Do you still want to lay your hands on me?” Those people exchanged silent looks. When they saw Bob kneeling on the ground, they stepped back without a fuss. Philip then left the Old Johnston Manor with Wynn. Before that, Wynn had noticed the situation in the house and asked Philip, “Philip, what did you do to Grandpa? Why is he kneeling on the ground?” Wynn was shocked! The scene was simply unbelievable! Bob was the Old Master of the Yates family! He was her grandfather, a stubborn old fogey! However, at that moment, he was kneeling on the ground, and tears could be seen streaming down his cheeks! Philip… what exactly did he say to the Old Master? Philip looked at Wynn and said, “I’ll tell you next time. Now, I’ll bring you to the hospital to treat the injuries on your face. If a scar is left, you won’t be beautiful anymore.” Wynn’s words got stuck in her throat. Looking at one

“Are you relieved now?” Philip hugged Wynn’s shoulders and asked.Wynn nodded and wiped her tears.She had waited for this day for such a long time.At the same time, in the Old Johnston Manor, Martha was hysterically kicking up a big fuss.The Yates were bankrupt, and Martha had lost the support of her maiden family. What would happen to her status in this family in the future?How would she face her neighbors whenever she went out in the future?Especially when this matter was splattered all over the news.Early this morning, she received a few text messages from her friends. Their words were all full of gloating and sarcasm.“These mean b*tches, they must have been waiting for this day! Sending phony messages to comfort me… They’re just shedding crocodile tears!”Martha almost went crazy with rage. She tried to phone Bob, Peter, and Samson, but the calls went unanswered.After thinking about it, she sat on the sofa and called Paula.“Paula, what should we do? Our family h

Before he could finish his sentence, Wynn’s phone rang and interrupted their conversation.She rolled her eyes at Philip and said, “Regardless of what my Mom says, just don’t give her more money. She’s just kicking up a fuss now. It’ll die down soon.”With that said, Wynn stepped aside to answer the call.Philip stared at Wynn’s back in silence and mumbled, “Forget it. Once Mila gets well, all of us will move into our new home.”On this day, the news about Yates' bankruptcy intensified. Many forces and families were speculating about the power and influence behind all of this.The methods were too formidable!They only found out the terrifying circumstances after detailed investigation!Overnight!In just one night, the Yates went bankrupt and fell from grace.The reason turned out to be because the Yates had offended someone.Who was that person?It was a secret that many upper-class families and forces in Riverdale wanted to unearth.In other words, one small move from Ph

Philip was powerless as he got chased out of the house just like that.Standing at the entrance, he could still hear Martha’s tirade in the house.After brief consideration, Philip called George. “Old Man George, can you help me keep a lookout for any houses on sale recently? Wynn’s mother is thinking of buying a villa. If she asks about it, you can handle it on your own.”“Sure, Young Master. I know what to do,” on the other end of the line, George responded respectfully.After hanging up the phone, George immediately notified his secretary to contact all the real estate agents in Riverdale.As long as Martha had inquired about a villa to any real estate agent, the price would be reduced by half.In that case, even Martha would be able to afford it.After the arrangement, George responded to Philip who immediately gave his assent.He would treat that as a gift to the Johnston family. After all, Philip had not given anything to Martha in the past three years.After Philip left

Philip helped Wynn put on her helmet before he bopped her on the nose and said, “Nothing much. It’s just a company vehicle, that’s all.”With that said, he quickly started the vehicle and turned the handlebars. The BMW motorcycle roared to life pleasantly!It was the dream of every man.“Hold on tight.” Philip chuckled.The vehicle zoomed out quickly like a drift.Wynn sat behind Philip, her arms tight around his waist. She got a fright just now!When cornering, Philip actually imitated the moves of the bike racers on TV, leaning low into the corner!It was too cool!That scene attracted many passersby to cheer and take pictures of them.Was he still the trashy husband of hers?He even knew how to do stunts like this!Wynn stared at Philip’s back, her heart full of questions.How much did she not know about her own husband?Very soon, they arrived at the sales office of Hillside Villa on the bike.Wynn got down first and quickly dashed into the office.Philip had to park
The First Heir Chapter 256
“My mother-in-law and father-in-law are here to look at houses. Why are you chasing them away?”Philip appeared at the door. With his face stoic, he walked in one step at a time.His gaze immediately locked on Wynn’s left cheek that had an obvious red print. His wife got hit during the time he parked the bike?Philip walked up to Wynn and touched her left cheek. With fury in his eyes, he demanded to know. “Who did this?”With tears in her eyes, Wynn glanced at the flashy woman but shook her head and said, “It’s nothing. Let’s go.”Wynn was angry, but she did not want to cause any trouble. After all, the other party had connections in the family. As a commoner, she could not afford to provoke them.However, the unexpected happened.Philip said grimly, “That won’t do. In this world, no one can hit my wife, no matter who they are. Even if it’s the king of heaven, he must kneel and beg for your forgiveness.”He was brimming with dominance!The entire sales office fell silent.Eve

Seeing the woman’s horror, Philip scratched his head awkwardly. He did not expect that her reaction would be so intense. “Don't worry, I'm not a good person.” After saying that, Philip sat down nonchalantly as if he was not worried about this powerful woman. Seeing Philip’s disregard for her, the woman was so angry that she could barely speak.“As you can see, I’m one of those humans,” Philip introduced himself. Philip had nothing to hide. His identity was no secret. “So, you’re one of those disgusting humans. You look quite strong. Since you found me, I’ll accept my fate. Just kill me if you want. There’s no need to insult me any further.” This woman was quite interesting. She jerked her chin up as if she was ready to let Philip kill her. Philip sighed at her reaction. Why was someone so eager to die? “I don’t want to kill you. I’m just curious about you. I just arrived at Deadly Arena recently,” Philip said to the other party sincerely. He was very curious about the

“You’re right, someone is controlling these beasts behind the scenes. Although I don’t know if the culprit is a powerful beast or a guild, they're not to be trifled with.” Philip did not hide this information but asked his men to take action. Since they were already here, they had to ensure their safety. No one would be exempted if anything happened. “You can join in the fight, but don’t try too hard. Just kill a few beasts and wait until I get to the bottom of this,” Philip said to his people. He was afraid that his men would work too hard but end up with nothing. Everyone nodded solemnly at Philip’s instructions. They quickly joined the battlefield and casually swung their weapons around, killing the arrogant beasts. Due to their strength, they easily crushed the beasts without much effort. As the fight reached its peak, Philip observed the source of the beast stampede. “Do you see that? The beasts are coming from that direction, and they’re clearly well-organized and d

Philip noticed the change and frowned at the mysterious man, whose expression changed drastically. “This is bad. I’ve never heard this alarm before.” After saying this, he invited Philip to go with him to Deadly Arena to find out what happened. They arrived at Deadly Arena and saw everyone staring ahead nervously as if waiting for someone to speak. Philip’s guild members noticed his return and approached him nervously. Aslan ran up to Philip worriedly. “Philip, I asked around and found something wrong. Deadly Arena is a dangerous place because it’s situated next to the beast forest. This situation has happened from time to time in the past, but no one was bothered. They’d even organize teams to hunt the beasts and Deadly Arena would provide rewards for this.” Philip roughly understood the situation from Aslan’s explanation. Since Deadly Arena had been managing this place for so long, they had taken responsibility for the safety issue. Once the beasts appeared, they would ensu

Argent thought he had come up with a good plan to set Philip up, but he was the fool who was kept in the dark in the end. Philip smiled at Argent’s angry departure and invited the mysterious man to his room. Although Philip chatted with him earlier, he did not know much about him. Philip could tell that the man had concealed his true appearance. Philip was curious to see what would happen. The mysterious man noticed Philip’s anticipation but simply stared at him in silence. Philip wanted to know his identity and purpose for coming here. “I really think highly of you. It’d be best if you could join me.” He knew that Philip would not give in so easily, so his rationality told him to give up. “It’s impossible for me to join you, but I’m curious about your situation. I believe you have a grudge against that guy or you wouldn’t resent him so much.” Philip smiled at the guy. He knew that the grudge between the two was very deep. The mysterious man was surprised that Philip
The First Heir Chapter 5742
In Argent’s opinion, Philip was a prideful person and would never accept this proposal. “Of course, you have the right to refuse. I just want to see what you think.” The mysterious man smiled at Philip brightly as if he did not mind Philip’s rejection.Seeing the mysterious man’s attitude, Argent was afraid that his plan would fail. Philip was not a fool. He could tell at a glance that the two people in front of him were not on the same side. Everyone had their own agendas. “In that case, I have to refuse. I’m sorry, but I’m used to leading a carefree life. Besides, I have my own force, so I won’t join other teams.” A trace of regret flashed in the other party's eyes. He was surprised to hear that Philip was capable enough to form a team of his own. “I’m surprised that you’re so strong at such a young age. In that case, I won’t make things difficult for you. Maybe we can become friends instead.” The mysterious man quickly made small talk with Philip. He clearly had some idea

Most people would be freaked out at the sight of his face. He took out a photo from his pocket and held it in his hand angrily. “Argent, you've enjoyed your life long enough. It’s time to get what you deserve.” The mysterious man smiled cruelly with obvious hatred for Argent. This whole incident had nothing to do with Philip at all. Philip was simply a pitiful pawn in these people’s hands. Philip never dreamed that someone would target him for no reason. He just wanted to improve his strength. He could not care less about what other people thought of him.… Time passed quickly. The next day, Philip did not expect these people to come after him so soon. He just wanted to have a good rest and find a suitable place to settle down, but these people were as annoying as pesky flies. “Philip, get out here at once. I want to see how strong you are. How dare you show off in front of me?” Argent yelled at Philip’s door in disdain. His right hand was bandaged tightly as if he was still
The First Heir Chapter 5740
The mysterious man forced himself to contain his anger and smile at Argent. Argent knew that he had to stop asking for more. At this point, what was the most important? “I can give you Philip’s address, and we can deal with him tomorrow morning. If you teach him a good lesson, I’m sure he’ll listen to you,” Argent said smugly. His plan was simple. He wanted to use the other party to deal with Philip. Philip had messed with him earlier and crippled his right hand. He would have died if he had not stopped the bleeding in time. Therefore, the grudge between him and Philip was so deep that he could not wait to rip Philip into pieces. Argent and the mysterious man who refused to reveal his name quickly came up with a plan. “In that case, I’ll see you again tomorrow morning. I hope you won't let me down.” After saying this, the mysterious man zoomed into the distance and soon disappeared. Seeing the other party’s hasty retreat, Argent was full of disdain. “Hehe, you think too hig

“Wow, you guys are so generous to send me such a precious gift this time. Tell me more about the deal you want to discuss with me. If it’s up to my expectations, I can consider it.” Argent's mood changed for the better. He smiled brightly and did not consider other possibilities. He seemed to have forgotten the conflict and resentment he had toward Philip. “We know that a young heroic man has appeared in Deadly Arena this time. We’re very interested in him and have decided to recruit him. I heard that you fought him before. I wonder if he's as powerful as I imagined.” The other party did not introduce himself but looked at Argent with a smile. Argent scowled. He thought that this matter was over, but this guy brought it up again. He was obviously trying to belittle him. “Hehe, let’s forget it. I don’t have much of an opinion about Philip. He’s just an average person, nothing worth mentioning.” Argent was afraid of exposing his shame, so he tried to tarnish Philip’s reputati
The First Heir Chapter 5738
After confirming that he could leave safely, Argent ran away quickly, unwilling to stay a second longer. Philip was so terrifying that he wanted to keep his distance from him. Argent simply wanted to rob Philip of his treasures, but he was seriously injured instead. He could not accept it. Argent quickly ran back home. He had settled down with his family after such a long time. Given his strength, no one refused his requests. Argent’s family members simply wanted to follow someone strong, so they did not mind doing anything. In the meantime, an uninvited guest appeared at Argent’s home. He did not make an appointment with Argent in advance, so Argent did not know him. When Argent returned home in a mess, they bumped into each other. “I’m surprised to see the head of the family looking so miserable. I’m here at the right time.” The man stared at Argent mockingly as if he was enjoying the show. Argent was annoyed by his reaction, angry that an outsider had seen him in his most mi
