The First Heir Chapter 862
When Martha saw Philip’s calm look, she felt furious and could not wait to kick Philip to death. However, she did not consider that Philip was here to save her. Soon, the chips were sent up. The bald man looked at Philip’s chips worth 100 and chuckled. Then, he threw him 100,000 chips from his side and said, “Don’t say that I, Baloo, am bullying you. I’ll give you 100,000 worth of chips!” Philip smiled but did not refuse. “What are we playing?” Baloo asked cheerfully. Philip said calmly, “Whatever.” Baloo became more interested and said, “Let’s play sic bo then. Simple and fast.” Philip nodded in agreement. Soon, the game began. In the first few rounds, Philip did not make the right choices. Seeing the pile of chips on the table getting smaller and smaller, Martha and Amelia were anxious! “Philip, do you know how to play? Why do you keep losing? Are you doing this deliberately?” Martha admonished and could not wait to play on his behalf. His luck was too rotten.

Philip said indifferently, “You’re the ones who set this scam up, so naturally I’ve to beat you at your own game.” Baloo’s expression sank as he said coldly, “Why should I believe you?” 100 billion. If that was really true, he would make a fortune! Philip did not reply but dialed a number and threw his phone to Baloo. “Do you know Theo Zander?” Theo Zander? He and Theo had never crossed paths. Baloo was startled and said with a frown, “What do you mean?” “You’ll find out when you pick up the call,” Philip said calmly. Baloo answered the call and Theo’s voice sounded from the other end, “Baloo, I’ll vouch for Mr. Clarke.” Theo Zander actually vouched for this kid! Baloo suddenly panicked. Who was this kid? He looked at the croupier. The two exchanged a quick glance, and the meaning was pretty clear. “Okay! Open it!” Baloo roared. “I want to see where you got the confidence to bet on small!” The croupier raised her hand, lifted the lid, and said loudly, “1, 3, 4

It was also at this time that the boss called. Baloo said guiltily, “Boss, I screwed up.” On the other end of the phone, it was still the lazy and charming woman's voice. “I know. Just keep an eye on Martha Yates.” Margot had left the cruise ship earlier and was now on her way to Capital City. After hanging up the phone, Margot stretched lazily and smiled coquettishly toward an alluring woman who was reading a book at the back of the Rolls-Royce. “Sister, Baloo screwed up that matter.” That woman was really beautiful with a delicate and exquisite face. She had very long eyelashes and a pair of lively twinkling eyes. While reading the book, dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth from time to time. She just hummed softly in response, her voice as enticing as a lark that simply captured people’s attention. An angel—perhaps that was the best description for her. “My brother isn’t an easy person to deal with. Sister Margot, you have to work harder,” the beautiful woman

Great-grandfather? Philip took the small brocade box from Cynthia’s hands, glanced at it, and opened it. Philip was shocked! This was it! He quickly closed the lid, looked at Cynthia in bewilderment, and asked, “How is Great-grandfather?” Cynthia shook her head with a complicated and helpless expression in her eyes. She said, “Great-grandpa’s health has been deteriorating recently. The doctor said there’s not much time left. He wants to see you.” “Okay, I’ll find some time to go to Fernvale.” Philip was silent for a moment and nodded in response. He was also curious to find out about his mother’s accident. Maybe Great-grandpa knew something. “By the way, the third master of the Hane family, Klein Hane, will be coming tonight. According to reliable sources, the first reason for his arrival is for his two nephews, and the other is for the underground chamber of commerce. You must be prepared.” Cynthia reminded him. The third master of the Hane family, Klein Hane? Ph
The First Heir Chapter 866
Only three people were sitting in the huge private room, so it inevitably seemed a bit empty. Klein looked at Wynn with a smile on his face and said, “Madam Johnston is a very successful entrepreneur indeed. I heard of your name in Capital City, and after seeing you tonight, I must say the rumors are justified.” Wynn smiled and said, “Thank you for your compliments. I can certainly say the same about you. I grew up reading about your accomplishments.” Klein nodded silently and did not ask any further. They were all just empty praises. Klein turned toward Philip and said, “Mr. Clarke is here too. Let me propose a toast to you first. I hope this dinner tonight can clear up some misunderstandings between you and the Hane family.” Interesting. Was this a reverse strategy? Philip smiled but did not raise his glass. He looked at Klein and said, “Mr. Hane, I’m afraid I can’t afford your toast. Why isn’t Francis here tonight? I really wanted to talk to him over some drinks to clear
The First Heir Chapter 867
At this moment, Klein really could not control himself any longer, and his tone became a lot colder. The other party had humiliated him over and over again. It was absolutely obnoxious! Wynn just sat there quietly and had no intentions to intervene at all. She seemed to have understood what Philip was about to do. When they first entered, the entire private room was dominated by Klein Hane. Now, the situation was completely reversed with Philip in control now. “Haha, Mr. Hane, don’t be angry. I’m just an uncultured person. Let’s stop beating around the bush and speak directly.” Philip flicked a glance at Klein’s sullen face and said, “Mr. Hane, I don’t think we need to state the true purpose for the dinner invitation tonight. Everyone should be well aware of that. Since we’re all in sync, why continue wasting time here? Isn’t it better for us to go straight to the main topic?” Klein looked at Philip and suddenly felt a hint of coldness in the air. At the same time, he also

Several of his nephew’s ribs were broken and his internal organs were damaged. If not for his nephew’s good fortune, he would have died long ago! This man dared to say he had shown mercy? He was obviously gunning for his life! Klein could not stand by and watch as a member of the Hane family was oppressed like this. It was such a blatant degree of bullying at that! The Hane family was one of the most affluent families of Capital City! They would never tolerate such abuse from outsiders! “You haven't experienced his pain. He’s now covered in bandages and has lost his previous sunny disposition. He has become a gloomy person and it’s all caused by you! You ruined his life and his future!” Klein’s words are completely exaggerated. He was setting up the stage first! “Hehe, I ruined his life?” Philip mocked, “Excuse me, but you need to wake up to reality. A rotten person like your nephew must have ruined countless lives. Aren’t you embarrassed to talk to me about this? All
The First Heir Chapter 869
After hearing this, Philip decided not to leave. He pulled a chair, sat down, and said, “It sounds as if you have some unspoken grievances. Say your piece. I’m all ears.” Klein said solemnly, “It’s simple. You must accept the penalty.” “Did I hear it right?” Philip was stunned for a few seconds when he heard the words. Then, he mockingly said, “Are you talking to me about punishment? In that case, I believe that good-for-nothing nephew of yours should have been arrested a long time ago.” Klein frowned and retorted, “You don’t have to worry about that. If you committed the crime, you have to bear the consequences.” He knew in his heart that even though his nephew might behave badly, he was still his nephew after all. As his uncle, he had to avenge him! Philip shook his head helplessly at Klein’s insistence. “Whether this matter is my fault or your nephew's fault, you should know better than anyone else. You just want to vent some frustrations on your nephew or the Hane fam

“I just got the idea all of a sudden!” In the past, Ronan would never have done this. He would have simply rushed forward brashly and messed with the other party, doing so relentlessly. However, that would have only led to a tragic end. Ronan knew that it was the worst option. Not only would he not achieve his goal, but he would also get Vanna into trouble. Hence, he learned from Philip to solve his problems gracefully, and it would be best if he could do it without any effort. Philip was right. Power had the final say. As long as he displayed his strength, they would keep their mouths shut no matter what they thought. “Let's just wait and see what they’ll do.” While Ronan was brimming with confidence, Carlos returned to Celestial Palace with his men, who were quite puzzled. They were wondering why they were returning so soon. They had no idea how strong Ronan was. They simply thought he was all brawn with no brains. “Captain, we don't need to be afraid of him. He’s just

“She’ll never leave with you. You can forget it. I’ll give her everything she wants.” Ronan stepped forward and pulled Vanna behind him. Philip sat aside and watched in silence. He wanted to see how the Celestial Palace would deal with this case. According to Vanna, she was highly favored in the guild. In that case, things should not be so complicated. They should accept the man she loved. “Vanna, this isn’t something we can decide on our own. I’ll go back and report the situation to the guild leader. You must watch out when you're here. Don’t let others deceive you.” Seeing Vanna’s determination, Carlos had no choice but to sigh and leave. It was meaningless for them to remain in a stalemate. Vanna glanced at him without a word. Before Carlos left, Ronan stopped Carlos as if he remembered something. “Since you’re going back to report the situation, take this with you. See it as a gift for my wife’s parents.” Ronan took out a bottle of fine wine and handed it to Carlos. Car

Vanna’s appearance could be restored to normal, so she was not considered ugly but unfortunately cursed. However, that guy’s ugly appearance was permanent. “My birthday is two days away, so they’ll definitely try their best to look for me,” Vanna said dejectedly. She felt a little depressed at the thought that she might be taken back by the guild. “Don't worry, I won't let them take you away.” Suddenly, there was a knock on Philip’s door. They looked outside curiously, already expecting those people at the door. Philip waved his hand, and the door opened. Since they had to face it anyway, they might as well create a commotion. It was Carlos who knocked on the door. After some investigation, he finally learned about Vanna’s situation and rushed over as quickly as possible. He felt his hands shaking when he knocked on the door. “Vanna, nothing must happen to you. Otherwise, we won't be able to make up for it even at the cost of our lives!” Carlos knew how much Vanna was favor
The First Heir Chapter 6238
Although the Celestial Palace practiced a powerful technique, all their members faced the same problem of having an ugly appearance, which could be considered a curse. However, since the curse could be lifted, no one took it seriously. Many people were willing to join the Celestial Palace for strength. Almost everyone could solve the problem before the age of 20, but Vanna’s identity was special, so they were more cautious about it, which was why it had been put off until now. Vanna was simply relieved to regain her true appearance before she turned 20. Besides, Vanna and Ronan got along very well. They felt like they had known each other for a long time and felt close to each other. Nothing could separate them now. “Philip, no matter what happens, I won’t leave Vanna. Even if the people from the Celestial Palace try to stop us, nothing can separate us.” Ronan found Philip and solemnly expressed his determination. Philip nodded at his reaction. That was how a man should behav

“Therefore, not everyone can afford to mess with the Celestial Palace. Even ordinary families don’t have the right to know about them. The Cohen family is wealthy enough to know something about such mysterious ancient guilds, but they're unworthy to have any contact with the Celestial Palace.” Philip was surprised to hear Vanna’s background. It seemed that they were in big trouble this time, but Philip had never been afraid of any trouble. “I didn't expect so many things to be involved. I thought that this world was such a mess because of the various races and all the conflicts surrounding the races, but so many strange forces are involved too!” Philip was surprised. Things were getting more and more interesting. “Since many people don't know about the major guilds, how do you recruit?” Philip asked the key question, which was also the one he was most curious about. Vanna shook her head helplessly. “We simply travel around and bring them back if we find someone with good ta
The First Heir Chapter 6236
Philip waved his hand indifferently. “It’s okay if you don't want to talk about it. Everyone is entitled to their own secrets.” Celeste glared at Darius unhappily. What a goof. Since Vanna did not bring it up, it proved that she did not want to talk about it. “Yes, that’s what I meant too, but I spoke too soon!” Darius apologized awkwardly, feeling a little nervous. Vanna could not help laughing at his reaction. “I have nothing to hide. I'm from the Celestial Palace. Our people are indeed very different from you. We’re the only ones with this curse. “I ran away from the Celestial Palace. My people wanted to marry me off to a loser, so I ran away in a panic, but I’ve reached the age when I have to break the curse. If I don't do it before I turn 20, I'll have to keep that ugly face for the rest of my life.” Everyone understood the whole story with that explanation, but no one had seen it coming. “But that guy from the Cohen family isn’t any better. I heard that he’s also a

This matter would become very serious if Vanna married someone else. “Not exactly. She has been taken away by someone else.” Lazlo was relieved when he heard that these people were looking for Vanna. She was nothing but trouble. He wanted nothing to do with her anymore. “Who took her?” the man asked fiercely. He could not shirk responsibility if Vanna married someone else. He would not be the only one in trouble. All his subordinates might die too. “It’s a guy named Ronan. That disgusting man simply stole her away! But we don’t know much about his identity.” Lazlo told them everything he knew. After hearing Lazlo out, the man scowled and turned to his subordinates. “We need to resolve this quickly. If it goes beyond our control, just take action. We can’t afford any accidents.” Lazlo could not understand the man's cryptic message, but it was not meant for him anyway. “What’s going on?” Lazlo was full of doubts as he watched them leave, wondering who they were. They plan

“Why are you so embarrassed? That’s good news. It’s not easy to find two people who appreciate each other, and I think she has quite a noble status. It’s a good choice for you to be with her.” Philip smiled calmly, a little surprised at Ronan’s decision. Celeste and Darius were also surprised, but they gave Ronan their blessing. “Not bad. I’m surprised that you realized it. Although Vanna looks scary, she was simply cursed. Once you marry her, she’ll regain her true appearance. It’s a good thing!” Celeste smiled. As a woman, she could understand the despair of being ugly for the rest of her life. Vanna was clearly happy with Ronan, and they looked very good together. Suddenly, Philip heard a commotion outside the door. He walked out and saw a crowd marching across the street. They felt similar to Vanna. They walked to Lazlo’s home without stopping. Philip watched the excitement and went back home after making sure that it had nothing to do with him. Ronan and Vanna had de

Nothing would be more reliable than their prediction. Celeste glanced at Darius. They nodded and dragged Philip to a deserted corner. “That woman exudes a very gentle aura. If she puts on a veil, she can surely rule over the world.” When they saw Vanna, they felt that she had a strong healing power as if she could heal with a glance. “I believe she has the ability to cure diseases and save lives. That's how she easily saved the young heir of the Cohen family. But I can't figure out why such a capable person would choose to marry a scumbag. It’s very puzzling.” Celeste sighed helplessly. Although she never thought highly of her prediction ability and her self-protection ability was even worse, she would never choose such a man either. Philip shrugged. The woman had to be hiding something. Since she kept quiet, Philip did not ask either. Ronan was the one who rescued her, so he would let Ronan solve it. “I noticed something about her. If I’m not mistaken, she has a holy aur
