The First Heir – Chapter 1665
Bernard was stunned. He did not expect the other party to be so angry and hurriedly asked, “Master
Eight, what do you mean by that?”
Master Eight said angrily, “Bernard, the person you told me to take care of is someone I can’t afford to
mess with! You’re pushing me into the fire! I’m telling you, the two of us have never spoken on the
phone! Even if something happens to you, don’t ever reveal my name! Otherwise, I’ll kill you!”

The call ended.
Bernard was confused!

A person Master Eight could not afford to mess with? He was second only to the three lords of
Uppercreek. He had both people and influence.
Such a person just said he could not afford to mess with Philip Clarke?
He must be joking!
Did Philip have any connections in Uppercreek?

Bernard’s face darkened as Liam quickly asked from the side, “Uncle Bernard, what’s wrong? What did
Master Eight say?”
Liam was full of excitement and anticipation at this moment. He had heard of Master Eight’s fame. He
was the kingpin second only to the three lords of Uppercreek. He had many underlings and was very
powerful on the streets!
If such a person made a move, that stinking Philip would be dead for sure!
However, the next second, Bernard said, “Something went wrong. Master Eight said he can’t afford to
mess with Philip and broke off all contact with me.”
“What? Uncle Bernard, you must be joking, right? I’ve made some inquiries before. In Uppercreek, other
than the three lords, the next person in line is Brad Weiss, also known as Master Eight! Even he can’t
afford to mess with Philip? Uncle Bernard, what exactly is going on here? Isn’t Philip already bankrupt?
Why does he still have such a large network in Uppercreek?”
Liam panicked and became more nervous. If Philip was not taught a lesson, Liam would be very upset!
Bernard’s expression was also very unpleasant. He frowned and thought for a while before saying,
“Philip seems to be more complicated than we expected. He must have been hiding his true colors this
whole time. Liam, go and find out more about Philip’s past involvements in Uppercreek and see if you
can discover anything.”
Liam nodded and said, “Sure, Uncle Bernard. Should I make an appointment with Hoyt Luther now?”
Bernard nodded and said, “Yes, make an appointment with him right away. I’ll personally go and meet
him.”

Liam dialed Hoyt’s number and said with a flattering tone, “Director Luther, it’s me, Liam Johnston. My
third uncle is here in Uppercreek and we’ve specially booked a private room in the Imperial Court. We
hope tO see you tonight.”
On the other end of the phone, Hoyt was accompanying Philip to inspect the conditions of the
Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce. At this moment, he turned to Philip and said, “Young Master Clarke,
Liam Johnston’s third uncle is here in Uppercreek and is inviting me to dinner. I’m afraid it’s still regarding
the cooperation. Should I go?”

the warm tea in his hands. He said, “Go ahead and see what Bernard Johnston and the others have in
mind.”
Hoyt nodded.
In the evening, Hoyt arrived at the Imperial Court as per the appointment time. As soon as he entered
the private room, he saw Bernard and the others already waiting for him. Bernard quickly got up,
stretched out his hands, and greeted him with a flattering smile. “Director Luther, you’re finally here. I’m
Bernard Johnston, the deputy chairman of Martin Pharmaceutical. It’s an honor to meet yo u. Please
have a seat.”
Hoyt smiled and sat down with Bernard and the others.
Liam sat on the side and said with a smile on his face, “Director Luther, this is my third uncle who
personally came from Riverdale just for the cooperation between us. He’s very sincere about this.”
Hoyt smiled and said, “Haha, Mr. Johnston, you’re too enthusiastic. It’s very difficult to resist.”
Bernard raised his hand and signaled to the waiter to serve the food and wine.
