The First Heir Chapter 30
Philip got into the Audi and continued discussing Mila’s condition with Henry. Henry had already researched Mila’s condition for half a month now, and the success rate he could come up with was 80%! That meant a very high chance of complete recovery! They went to the hospital to take a look at Wynn. She was now safe but still unconscious due to the shock. Just after Philip left the hospital entrance with Henry, Keagan, and Theo in tow, he received a call from his father-in-law. Charles was furious as he bellowed, “Philip! Where did you run off to? Where’s the painting I told you to deliver?” Slap! Philip smacked his forehead then remembered that he had left the house this morning to deliver a painting to Civil Gallery. How could he have forgotten it? Without another thought, Philip quickly said, “Send me to Southville Street.” Theo immediately went up to open the door of his Benz, inviting Philip in. Henry and Keagan, too, wanted to invite Philip into their own cars, but they

Philip frowned at Aiden. The latter glared furiously at him and smirked. “You’re even late at the simple request of delivering a painting. Aren’t you just blatantly disrespecting Uncle Johnston?” Slap! Charles had come over with an infuriated expression and slapped Philip hard across the face. He bellowed in anger, “Why do I have such a useless son-in-law like you? You’re an embarrassment!” This sudden slap stunned everyone inside the exhibition hall. However, there was not a trace of sympathy on these people’s faces. Instead, it was filled with mockery. Watching Charles hit Philip in front of so many people made Aiden ecstatic. Great slap! Trash like this should get slapped more often. A biting chill flashed in Philip’s eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. Lowering his head, Philip said, “I’m sorry, Dad. I was a little delayed on the way.” “Hmph!” Charles let out a cold snort. He took the painting, composed his emotions, then turned around smilingly to walk away. “Come, come,

At this thought, Charles glanced at Philip, who was standing idly in a corner. He snorted in annoyance and mumbled, “What a useless man!” Philip noticed his father-in-law looking at him, so he gave him a bright smile, but the older man only rolled his eyes at him. Okay, so the older man really did think nothing of him. Just then, outside of Civil Gallery, a luxurious Bentley stopped at the entrance. A few female receptionists quickly rushed over. Russell Field had specifically come to Civil Gallery today because he heard that there would be a treasure from China’s Ming Dynasty displayed today. An authentic painting by Tang Bohu! He was very intrigued. The man was a famous collector in the country, so when he heard that there would be a rare piece on display, of course, he had to see it with his own eyes! Soon after he stepped into the gallery, Russell’s identity caused an uproar. “Oh god! Isn’t that President Field from Civil Trading Group?” “The grandmaster of collectors i

With just one look, Russell could tell that this was not the painting he gave Mr. Clarke. This was a counterfeit! So, who gave this painting to Charles? It was even displayed in Civil Gallery, and it seemed like everyone here thought it was an authentic piece. While Russell was lost in thought, Charles started to talk about this painting ceaselessly, including an explanation of its origins. “Master Russell, this painting is a birthday gift from Addy. It’s a priceless piece. Would you like to appraise it?” Addy? Aiden! Russell stared at Aiden, who was smiling to his eyes with an odd look. The latter seemed full of himself. This was the man who was rude to Mr. Clarke earlier! With this, Russell now had a plan formed. Aiden, you’re dead meat! I will teach you a lesson in place of Mr. Clarke! Russell walked over to the glass display earnestly and started examining it. Everyone felt the air become tense and mysterious as they watched on. After all, this was Master Russell, a famous

A fake! The crowd in the gallery burst into an uproar. It was actually a fake! “Impossible! How could this be a fake? We’ve all seen it before. It’s a genuine piece.” Charles quickly explained. “Although I’m not as famous as Master Russell, I can still tell a painting’s authenticity. How could this be a fake?” Russell knew that Charles would be in denial, so he analyzed the painting on the spot. “This painting could be said to be mistaken for the genuine piece. It’s not surprising if you guys can’t tell. But if you all take a closer look, the lines on these few figures are not full enough. There is an obvious gradient shown on the lines and color. This is a defect caused by machines, and it’s very subtle so many people can’t actually tell…” As the crowd listened to Russell’s explanation, they finally realized the truth. “So, it’s a fake! Charles Johnston, you’re too much!” “Yeah! After a whole day of suspense, you ended up showing us a fake instead! What gives?” In an insta

“Of course,” answered Aiden proudly. Russell already knew that Aiden would say this. Hiding a smile, he continued to ask, “May I know which friend did Mr. Grant buy this from?” Upon hearing this, the delight on Aiden’s face grew. Could Russell want to be acquainted with that friend of his? This was an excellent opportunity for him to befriend Russell. “President Field, his name is David White, the owner of an antique market. He’s quite famous. I can call him over this instant.” Aiden smiled. “There’s no need.” Russell waved then took out his phone to say smilingly, “I’m acquainted with David White.” Of course, Russell knew David White. The man was a famous antique market owner, but at the same time, he had a notorious reputation within the community. The reason was that David was an expert at selling counterfeits and forged pieces. He often sold off his fakes to people who did not know better, and it looked like David had tricked Aiden. However, Russell did not feel an ounce

“Master Russell, please let me explain.” David was anxious as large drops of sweat rolled down his forehead. Aiden was confused as he asked, “Mr. White, what’s wrong with you?” David was troubled. He now knew why Russell had called him over, so he quickly said to Aiden, “Mr. Grant, I’m sorry. The painting that I sold you last time was a fake. I’ll refund you the money as soon as I get back.” “A fake?” Aiden shrieked. The crowd of people standing behind him all gasped, looking incredulous. Charles looked especially shocked and was utterly stunned. “Mr. White, what do you mean? What do you mean by ‘a fake’? I’ve spent two million to buy it!” Aiden was getting flustered, feeling his body alternate between hot and cold. “And Master Russell had said earlier that that painting is an authentic piece. Are you drunk?” David was now like a cat on a hot tin roof. Upon hearing the words ‘authentic piece’, he rushed over to the glass display and looked carefully at it before exclaiming, “

This news came like a bolt from the blue! Philip was stunned for a few seconds before he finally digested Lynn’s words. His tone instantly shot up a few decibels. “Mila’s missing?! Where are you?” This was urgent! Philip felt like someone had kicked him hard on the chest. His back was now drenched with sweat. “Brother-in-law, I’m at Millennium Amusement Park, I only…” Lynn sounded distinctly flustered over the phone. Her background was noisy with sounds of people frolicking about. “Wait there. I’m coming!” Philip roared. Mila was missing! He no longer had time for the people in the gallery as he hurried outside. Behind him, Russell called out to him a few times, but Philip did not respond. Charles added words of contempt, saying Philip had no manners and that he was rushing to his death. Philip did not dare to tell Charles that Mila was missing, thinking that the old man might not even care for Mila’s safety at all. To them, Mila’s birth was a humiliation to the Johnston fami

At this time, Philip noticed something on the ground. He walked over and picked it up curiously. “Philip, that thing fell from the old octopus just now. I wonder what it is. Maybe it’s a rare treasure!” Rabbit popped out and looked at Philip excitedly, attracted by this shiny object. “Isn’t that the core of a monster beast? Wow, this octopus was so powerful that it could even produce a core! It’s a pity that it bumped into someone like me, who eats octopuses without leaving anything behind.” Philip collected the core that the octopus had developed for tens of thousands of years and grinned at the carcass that lay in his space. Only monster beasts that had practiced for tens of thousands of years could produce such a precious thing, so Philip hardly saw any. Philip had not killed any beasts with tens of thousands of years of practice, so he had only heard of it. “I’m surprised that this guy gave me such a precious thing. In that case, we must have a good meal to show our a

“Philip, I sense a weird presence. I think something is after us. Do you think it’s the octopus’ father?” Rabbit scowled, feeling they should leave at once. “Didn’t you explore the cave thoroughly just now? Did you find other monsters inside?” Philip frowned and explored with his senses. Although he was very strong and sensitive, he could not sense approaching danger like a monster beast. A normal monster beast could sense up to tens of thousands of yards but Philip could only sense thousands of yards at most. That was the ultimate difference between humans and monster beasts. Rabbit was worried. It did not consider this problem. “I was so busy looking for the way out just now that I overlooked this problem. Who would know that the octopus had a father?” Before Philip could retort, they felt the world spinning around them, and a huge tentacle hit Philip. Philip pressed Rabbit down and turned around to dodge as quickly as he could. He knew that a powerful being was here. “

“Haha, but I never planned to let you go either. In that case, don’t blame me for doing this!” The octopus' huge tentacle twitched as if it were going to teach Philip a lesson. Philip sneered at this scene. This little octopus was quite interesting. Although the octopus claimed that it would not harm Philip, Philip could read its thoughts from its eyes and actions. This octopus was more than met the eye. He would have died if he listened to its nonsense. “Hehe, I'm not hungry now. I’ll keep you and the rabbit as my food rations. Let’s see if you can escape my clutches!” The octopus swung its tentacles and sent all the surrounding gravel flying, creating chaos. “Philip, that thing is so full of itself. Let’s stop wasting time with it and leave at once. I've found the exit. It’s right in front of us!” Rabbit hopped up to Philip and pointed out the route it found. Philip let Rabbit go earlier so it could find the way out. Although Philip wanted to eat the octopus, he knew that
The First Heir Chapter 5843
“I wanted to let you go, but I've changed my mind. Leave this rabbit behind as my supper and you can leave safely. Otherwise, you can never escape. Since you're here for the ruins, you won't leave empty-handed. Let’s make a deal.” The octopus seemed very confident that Philip would give Rabbit up. Rabbit glared daggers at the octopus, shocked that it wanted to eat it for no reason. “I know many secrets about this place. If you strike the deal with me, I can tell you some secrets so that you can go through the King’s Ruins smoothly.” The octopus seemed to read Philip’s thoughts and tried to convince him to agree to the deal.Seeing that, Philip pretended to be tempted. “Really? That's great. It’s a good deal to get so many secrets with just one rabbit.” Philip placed Rabbit on his palm and shook it in front of the octopus. “But you have to tell me the secrets first or I’m afraid you won’t keep to your promise. I’m definitely no match for you. I won't gain anything if you go

The tentacle’s target was the bird in front of Philip. “It’s really strange to see a bird in this place.” Philip grabbed the bird and threw it to the tentacle, which caught the bird without noticing Philip’s presence. Philip followed along, curious to see what the tentacle belonged to. The tentacle looked like it belonged to a squid, which seemed quite appetizing. However, Philip did not think the tentacle was an easy opponent to deal with. The other party was clearly a force to be reckoned with, but it was not very sensitive to its surroundings. Philip had been here for quite long, but the tentacle had not discovered his presence. It was clearly a creature with a poor reaction. He was very curious to find out what creature this tentacle belonged to. He followed the direction where the tentacle disappeared but saw no end to the path. His hard work finally paid off, though. Through his relentless tracking, Philip finally found the body of the tentacle but was surprised by

“Are you sure you want to go in?” Rabbit jerked awake from its daze and crawled out of Philip's arms. “In that case, you should choose someone who isn't afraid to die,” Rabbit said tauntingly as if it was ready to watch the fun. Yule was startled by Rabbit’s sudden appearance and nasty remark. Although Philip had not formally introduced Rabbit, he knew that Rabbit was Philip’s pet, a powerful creature that most people could not afford to offend. Although rich people would tend to mess around with similar monster pets, a creature like Rabbit that had developed intelligence and could speak to humans were few and far between. “With all sorts of dangers below, you can give it a try if you’re not afraid to die. Of course, I’d advise against it. After all, you’re very weak,” Rabbit scorned Yule while telling him the truth. It was very mean, indeed. Philip shook his head helplessly while Rabbit intimidated others. He was more determined to cook Rabbit now. “Based on the informatio

“Are these things good enough for you? You haven’t seen anything yet.” Yule was embarrassing. If his people dared to do this, Philip would explode. He would never allow his people to act this way. “Yeah, the pills and weapons we found along the way are simply amazing. I can’t imagine what we’ll find in the real treasure vault. I’m sure even you’ll be won over.” They did not encounter any dangers or difficult creatures along the way as if they had passed the test. However, they did not find any trace of the King’s Ruins either, which puzzled Philip. “Is the so-called King’s Ruins referring to these useless things?” Philip frowned and glanced around. If this was the so-called King’s Ruins, he would be very disappointed. Rabbit popped out and waved its paw at Philip, clearly trying to say something. “Philip, you’re too much. Do you really think these things are worthless? Maybe you don’t find them valuable, but they're seen as priceless treasures to others. Most people can’t e

“Yule's father is seriously injured, and his strength has reduced significantly. He’ll die if he can’t find an expert to cure him. Do you think Yule can act so arrogantly if his father dies? There’s no way he can do that anymore.” Mason’s words gave everyone the hope to replace Yule. Yule had used his identity to gain a lot of benefits in Deadly Arena. Although no one said anything, they longed to do the same too. “If you can do this for me, I promise you the same treatment. You'll enjoy no less than what Yule has.” Mason was confident that since Sienna was on his side, it would soon be his time to soar to greater heights. It would then be impossible for these people to mess with him. He could easily deal with anyone from Deadly Arena who dared to oppose him. With Sienna’s strength, he could do whatever he wanted. “As long as you help me get what I want, I’ll give you whatever you want. That’s a promise,” Mason said smugly. Everyone was surprised and looked forward to i

“I’m surprised that these golems are so difficult to deal with. I thought we could crush them easily!” “If we had known earlier, we would've taken our time and let Philip’s people deal with them!” Everyone regretted it, but no one knew what to do now that the golems were in front of them. Mason gritted his teeth and led the fight. It was a matter of life and death, and no one could be excluded. These golems were difficult for Lyle to deal with, not to mention these losers. They suffered heavy casualties, and everyone was injured to some extent. Fortunately, they brought a lot of supplies with them. They had many pills to heal wounds and could save their lives for the time being. “One golem caused us such casualties. We’ll be in trouble if more golems turn up.” Someone glanced at Mason in a panic. The same man who spoke gulped and expressed his opinion, “I think we should work with Yule and the others. Maybe we can quickly reach our destination with them. More importantl
