The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 931

As soon as this was said, the temperature in the entire hall dropped sharply!

The coldness was terrifying!

Even for the arrogant and domineering Miguel Wallis, when he came into contact with the cold gaze of

24 at this moment, sweat beaded unconsciously on his forehead as he swallowed a mouthful of spit.

What a strong killing intent!

The other party really dared to kill him!

This was Miguel's most intuitive feeling!

However, according to Miguel’s temper, how could he take this lying down so easily?

He was very upset and immediately yelled, “Someone like you dares to kill me? Do you know who I

am? I’m Miguel Wallis!”

24 snorted, looked back at Fulton helplessly, and asked, “Boss, is it okay if I kill him?”

When he said this, 24 was completely indifferent.

Even Giada, who stood next to Roger at this moment, dared not open her mouth to say anything.

She blamed herself for pampering him too much, so much that he was so defiant now.

“Miguel, you’re too presumptuous!”

Giada bit the bullet and stepped out. She slapped him again and reprimanded, “Go home and reflect on

it. Vivian, take the young master back!”

“Yes, Madam.”

Vivian walked out, bowed her head toward Miguel, and motioned for him to go out.

Even if Miguel was stupid, he could see now that this old man in a wheelchair was not an ordinary

person.

Even Aunt Giada was in awe of him.

The shadow guard did not stop Vivian from taking Miguel away because the lord did not say anything.

After Miguel walked out of the hall, he gritted his teeth angrily and cursed, “Vivian, who is that old man?

Does he have a background?”

Vivian said, “Young Master, that’s the head of the Clarke family, Roger Clarke.”

“What?!”

When Miguel heard that, his voice immediately raised a few octaves.

At the same time, he felt his knees going weak. His back was immediately drenched in sweat and he

felt limp all over.

Roger… Clarke!

It was him!

Even a mammoth like the Wallis family, in the eyes of Roger Clarke, was nothing more than an ant!

Miguel realized that he had stood in front of the pearly gates just now!

Oh no!

Looking back to the hall of the villa, Giada pushed Roger into the hall. All other people had retreated,

leaving behind only the members of the Shadow Squadron.

“Master, why did you come here so suddenly? Why didn't you bring a family doctor with you on such a

long journey?

Giada pretended to be concerned and asked. With both knees on the ground, her jade-white fingers

were busy making tea.

Her tea-making skills were fluid and graceful.

Roger sat in the wheelchair with his eyes slightly closed. After a while, he said, “Giada, how is your

cooperation with the branch family?”

“Everything is going as planned. Even Olsen of the branch family has agreed to the division of the

business. This is a good start for the cooperation between the main and the branch family.”

Giada was still kneeling as she handed the teacup in her hand to Roger.

Roger took it, placed it in his palm, and glanced at Giada who was kneeling in front of him.

When he married this woman back then, he already knew it was not going to be easy.

If not for his own plans, he would never have allowed her to get away with so many things.

“What do you think about Philip inheriting the Clarke family?” Roger asked.

Giada said without hesitation, “Philip has not been at home these years and doesn’t understand many

things. I still hope that I can assist him. This way, when he grows strong enough, I can leave all the

family affairs to him.”

Giada said this very amiably.

However, everyone knew the hidden meaning behind it.

Chapter 932

Roger smiled and said, “Let’s wait for him to return before we discuss this matter. You should do your

duty in taking care of the cooperation between the main and branch family. Don’t be too concerned

about other things. I’ve my own arrangements.”

It was a warning in disguise.

Of course, Giada could discern the meaning. He was telling her not to dip her fingers in too many pies.

Her handling the cooperation with the branch family was more than enough.

However, how could Giada be content with that?

Her ambition was not just the cooperation between the main and branch families. She wanted

everything from the Clarke family and the power of the entire Arcadia Island!

She wanted to complete the magnificent conquest that the Wallis family had not achieved for many

years!

Therefore, upon hearing this, Giada’s eyebrows furrowed. She raised her eyes to look at Roger and

said, “You’re still wary of me.”

Roger acquiesced, took a sip of the tea in his hand, and said, “Once the taste of the tea has changed, it

won’t be as good.”

With that said, he placed the teacup on the table. His behavior and words may seem unintentional, but

to Giada, it contained a profound meaning

Then, Roger said a little tiredly, “Let’s go back.”

After that, Fulton stepped forward and personally pushed Roger's wheelchair.

Giada got up and bowed respectfully.

However, at the door, Roger stopped and said mildly, “Don’t think that because I’m old and surrounded

by all your people that you can do as you please. I can see through all your tricks.”

These words sounded very plain, but Giada's heart trembled suddenly!

The warning was blatantly obvious!

Giada clenched her fists and retorted with a faint dissatisfaction in her eyes, “Just because I’m an

outsider and a member of the Wallis family, you’ve been guarding against me?”

Roger shook his head and sighed. “In this game, the Wallis family is nothing but a pawn. I’d advise you

not to charge too far ahead. Otherwise, you won’t be able to turn back until everything’s too late. That’s

all from me. I hope you can watch your steps carefully and stop playing tricks that are disadvantageous

to Philip and Wynn.”

Having said that, Fulton pushed Roger out of the hall.

Looking at the distant figure, Giada gritted her teeth angrily and screamed hysterically. In her fit of rage,

she smashed many valuable items.

“Roger Clarke, you’ve gone too far! I, Giada Wallis, will never give up! If your Clarke family can stand at

the pinnacle of the world, so can my Wallis family! Let’s wait and see!”

Giada shrieked angrily. She had already lost her usual grace and elegance.

As Fulton pushed Roger away from the hall, they ran into another group at the door.

“Roger, when did you arrive? Why didn’t you tell me? I’d have picked you up.”

Tim Clarke stood at the door with a group of fully armed and menacing-looking death warriors, waiting

respectfully.

Initially, he was ready to charge in.

If there was any movement at all, Tim would destroy Cirrus Villa.

At the same time, Tim had arranged a team of fully armed Clarke family guards to surround the Wallis

family of Golden City!

Dozens of armed cars full of people stopped just 500 yards away from the Wallises’ manor in Golden

City!

With just an order, the entire Wallis family would be destroyed!

As if facing a major enemy, the Wallis family in Golden City was quickly mobilizing death warriors from

outside.

A storm was brewing.

From that moment, the entire Golden City was shrouded in peril.

At this moment, after seeing Roger coming out unscathed, Tim was relieved. He quickly stepped

forward and took the wheelchair from Fulton.

“I just came here to take a look. It’s not a big deal. There’s no need to kick up a fuss.”

Roger coughed several times before asking, “By the way, is there any news from Ethan?”

Chapter 933

Tim shook his head and chuckled. “That brat must be fooling around somewhere. Let’s not bother

about him and drink to our brotherhood today.”

Roger smiled in concurrence.

The convoy, as well as Tim’s men, quickly left Cirrus Villa.

The brewing storm dissipated in peace.

A few days later, the annual underground chamber of commerce finally began!

Early in the morning, Theo took Anna, Tiger, and his men to wait at the gates of First Palace.

Six black Mercedes were parked at the entrance, as well as Theo’s Maybach in the middle. Such a

scene would definitely shock the outside world if they found out about it!

The big shot of Riverdale, Theo Zander, actually brought his men personally to wait respectfully at the

gates.

Who on earth could warrant such treatment?

It was after about ten minutes before Philip walked out of the villa with Mila in his arms. As Wynn was

still in the hospital for recuperation and Anne was taking care of her, he had to take care of the child.

Seeing Philip, Anna strutted forward in her high heels and took Mila from his arms.

Today, Anna was dressed very smartly and formally in a white professional suit. Her slender legs were

wrapped in black stockings while her hair was loose and wavy. She had delicate makeup on her face,

making her look very charming.

“Mr. Clarke, everything is ready. We can leave now,” Theo opened the car door and said respectfully.

Philip nodded and got into the car with Anna in the back seat while Theo sat in the front passenger

seat.

The cars started and the six black Mercedes drove out of Longford Park toward a tourist town outside

Riverdale.

The town of Phoenicia.

It was a small town that prospered due to tourism, with a small population of only a few hundred

thousand. The town had beautiful sights and a long history.

It was surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on the other. It was a junction between

Riverdale, South River District, and Golden City.

Hence, it was the best venue for the underground chamber of commerce.

Every session had been held here previously.

Moreover, this was also the peak tourist season in Phoenicia and many tourists from all over the

country came here for holidays.

This place was famous for underground boxing arenas, jade markets, luxurious casinos, and so on.

Therefore, Phoenicia was very crowded now.

Of course, it was also a very mixed crowd.

After all, the underground chamber of commerce was being held here, so people from all regions would

congregate here.

As such, security here would be stricter.

After one and a half hours, Theo’s motorcade also arrived at Phoenicia.

At the entrance of the town, Wayne Kingsley, the patriarch of the largest family in Phoenicia, had been

awaiting their arrival.

The Kingsley family was the largest in this town.

In Phoenicia, almost half the people carried the last name Kingsley and everyone was related in one

way or another.

According to historical records, Phoenicia was a fiefdom bestowed to a certain aristocrat with that

particular last name. Since then, the Kingsley family had long been a prominent presence in Phoenicia.

The underground chamber of commerce was naturally being organized by the Kingsley family.

In every event, the Kingsley family would make a fortune from the underground chamber of commerce.

Therefore, every single person took this event very seriously.

“Oh, Mr. Theo, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for a long time.”

At this moment, Wayne saw Theo getting out of the car in his gray suit. He quickly stepped forward,

nodding and bowing in flattery.

Even if the Kingsley family was the most prominent presence locally, Wayne still had to respect big

shots like Theo Zander.

He was a goldmine, after all.

Behind him, dozens of Kingsley family members followed. They all had smiles on their faces.

There were seven or eight older members among them, and the rest were the younger generation of

the Kingsley family. They were craning their necks trying to catch a sight of the famed Theo Zander.

They were here to see the world.

Besides, in the next few days, a lot of people like Theo Zander would be here.

This time, at least 12 underground leaders from various districts would be here. Among them, four of

them were from the South River District alone!

Even people from Capital City and Golden City would be here. Therefore, this session of the

underground chamber of commerce had a higher standard than ever before.

Wayne had also started making preparations a long time ago for fear that something would go wrong.

Theo just smiled faintly as he waited respectfully at the door. He opened the door personally and

welcomed Philip to get down from the car.

“Mr. Clarke, we’re here.”

Theo bent down and respectfully said to the person sitting at the back of the car.

This scene fell in Wayne’s eyes and naturally caught his attention, making him astonished.

Who was the person sitting at the back of the car?

Chapter 934

Even a big shot like Theo had to open the door to greet him?

Wayne was not stupid. He instantly noticed something.

There were rumors that people of the South River District would join hands to topple Theo this time.

Now, it seemed that Theo had invited someone formidable with him.

It would be another tough battle.

Philip sat in the car with a sleeping Mila in his arms. After a while, he gently carried her and got out of

the car.

Anna also quickly got out of the car, standing beside Philip respectfully while helping him carry Mila’s

daily necessities.

This scene was even more bizarre in the eyes of Wayne and the other Kingsley family members.

They brought a child?

What was going on here?

Wayne was in a daze. Behind him, the juniors of the Kingsley family started talking in low voices.

“Is this the person that Theo Zander found? This must be the first time anyone brought a kid to attend

the underground chamber of commerce.”

“I don’t understand it. Maybe he’s already at his wit’s end. After all, four major forces of the South River

District are joining hands this time. Even someone like Theo Zander can’t withstand it.”

“Look at that man. He looks unfamiliar. Is he the one invited by Theo Zander?”

Wayne naturally heard the discussion behind him. He turned around, glared at them, and reprimanded

in a low voice, “That’s enough, stop talking nonsense. Can’t you tell that it’s inappropriate?”

The several young people all shut their mouths, but their expressions were still disdainful.

Was this person not stupid for bringing a child to the underground chamber of commerce?

Theo stretched out his hand to greet Wayne and said, “Please help me arrange a premium suite for Mr.

Clarke to stay in.”

Wayne quickly responded, “Sure, Mr. Theo. I’ll make arrangements right away.”

Since Theo had spoken, Wayne would naturally fulfill his request.

At the same time, he also found out that the other party’s last name was Clarke.

Judging from Theo’s actions, this Mr. Clarke was no ordinary person.

Very soon, they followed Wayne to the largest hotel in the area—the Fenix Hotel and Restaurant.

It was a seven-story building.

The first to third floors were restaurants while the fourth floor and upward were guest rooms.

The seventh floor housed superior suites with a bird's eye view of the entire Phoenicia.

However, it was very costly at 30,000 per night. In the past, very few people could afford it, but during

the underground chamber of commerce, this floor would be fully occupied.

Moreover, there were only 13 rooms.

Usually, in order to grab this comfortable top-level suite, the underground leaders from various areas

would often make advanced reservations or directly bid for it on the spot.

Whoever paid more would get it.

This time, Wayne personally led them into the hotel. The lobby manager had received the notification

long ago and hurried over. He whispered into Wayne’s ear with an embarrassed expression.

When Wayne heard his words, his expression turned unpleasant. Helplessly, he turned to Theo and

said, “Mr. Theo, there’s only one room left on the seventh floor. However, it has already been reserved

by Mr. Cecil Dane of the South River District. Can Mr. Clarke perhaps stay on the sixth floor instead?”

Cecil Dane was ranked third among all major forces in the South River District!

In the community, he was known as a ruthless character!

His methods were most brutal!

The power under his influence was quite substantial. With more than a dozen fraternities, there were

hundreds of people in total under him.

Moreover, Cecil and Theo were rivals!

Theo frowned. He was unhappy at hearing Cecil’s name.

He turned to Philip and asked, “Mr. Clarke, what do you think?”

Philip was unperturbed and said, “It’s fine, whatever.”

Wayne smiled upon hearing that and quickly told the lobby manager to make arrangements.

However, a rough sneer sounded from the doorway.

“Oh, Theo Zander, I didn’t expect to see you here. Is this the guy you found? I think he looks so-so. He

even brought a baby with him. Are you so afraid of peeing your pants that you brought diapers along

with you?”

Chapter 935

Everyone turned in the direction of that voice and saw a group with dozens of people walking in from

the door.

The leader was a bald man with sunglasses. He was smoking a cigar and wearing a mink coat.

His neck and hands were full of gold accessories and several jade rings.

His attitude was arrogant!

The pompadour was grand!

There were also two hot and sexy women next to him with his arms around them. They looked very

enticing with long legs and big chests.

Behind them followed a bunch of tattooed and swaggering punks, all of them looking murderous.

Cecil Dane!

The third major force of the South River District!

Everyone called him Master Cecil!

He founded the Cecily Group that now had assets of more than one billion!

As soon as Cecil appeared and stood in the lobby, the awe-inspiring atmosphere shocked everyone in

the hall.

What a domineering appearance!

“Damn! It’s Master Cecil! He came here too!”

“The underground chamber of commerce this time is going to be fun. How many bosses will be coming

to Phoenicia this time?”

“Look carefully. That person is Theo Zander. Cecil and Theo are deadly rivals. Let's go quickly. There

may be a fight in a while.”

The dozens of bystanders quickly dispersed in a hurry. The reputation of Master Cecil was very

impressive because he literally fought his way to get it.

Even a three-year-old kid would start crying when they heard Cecil Dane’s name.

Therefore, in the South River District, there were often housewives shouting ‘Master Cecil is here to

catch you’ to scare their naughty children.

It was quite apparent that Master Cecil’s fame had flown into the homes of ordinary folks.

Theo also had a somber expression at this time as he glanced at the approaching Cecil.

His first reaction was to explain to Philip beside him. “Mr. Clarke, this is Cecil Dane from South River

District.”

Philip looked sideways and observed the arrogant Cecil with a frown.

Was this guy insulting him just now?

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

Cecil naturally noticed that Theo was very respectful to the young man in front of him.

With a shrug of his shoulders, the mink coat on Cecil fell and one of his subordinates grabbed it.

Smoking his cigar, Cecil looked at Philip and said disdainfully, “Are you the cash cow that Theo brought

this time? What a pretty boy. Where are you from?”

Philip did not reply.

Cecil furrowed his thick eyebrows, his face flashing unpleasantly as he sneered, “Interesting. You’ve

got an attitude, but I wonder if you can get out of Phoenicia in one piece?!”

A threat!

Upon hearing this, Philip's expression also changed. A chill flashed in his eyes.

“Cecil, you’ve gone too far!”

Theo immediately stepped over with a grim face as he shouted at Cecil.

At his roar, all the men behind him also stepped forward.

When the men on Cecil’s side saw this, they naturally refused to back down from the challenge and

stared at Theo’s men murderously.

It was a face-off!

“Haha, Theo, did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? Bringing a boy with a baby in his arms and

you want to get hold of some territories from this underground chamber of commerce?”

Cecil mocked unscrupulously, his eyes full of disdain for Theo and Philip.

Everyone knew everything about Theo Zander, including his backing, his people, and his turf.

In the underground chamber of commerce this time, the four major overlords of the South River District

had already reached an agreement. They would join forces to swallow Theo and Riverdale in one fell

swoop!

Therefore, in Cecil’s eyes, no matter how Theo prepared this time or whoever he brought, everything

would be in vain!

Could Theo Zander bring someone more formidable than the four bigwigs combined?

What a joke!

“Cecil, our paths have never crossed. You’d better not be too audacious. I’m not a pushover! As for the

underground chamber of commerce, everything will be clear two days later,” Theo said angrily. He was

very upset with Cecil's attitude, especially at his disrespect to Philip.

However, Theo dared not do anything to Cecil recklessly.

After all, the opponent was the overlord of the South River District.

In particular, many local bosses of the underworld were trying to transform their images, but Cecil was

adamant in his ways. He was still fighting and killing his way about.

Therefore, in certain areas, Theo really could not measure up to Cecil’s ruthlessness.

“Don’t you f*cking try to scare me! Do you really think I don’t know how many tricks you have up your

*ss?” Cecil scorned.

“Cecil Dane!”

Theo’s face was full of anger as he growled.

Chapter 936

Seeing that both sides were about to come to blows, Wayne Kingsley, who had been watching on the

sidelines all this while, quickly stepped forward and said with a grin, “My honored guests, please calm

down. Since you’re already in Phoenicia, what’s there to argue about? The underground chamber of

commerce will be held two days later. If there is any animosity, you can fight it out during the event.

Now, let’s make peace.”

Cecil and Theo glared at Wayne at the same time, snorting.

Wayne was also sweating profusely. It was not easy to be a peacemaker.

A little carelessness would either offend this side, or that side, and maybe even both sides.

Seeing that both parties had calmed down, Wayne quickly signaled to the lobby manager and said,

“Why don’t you take Master Cecil to check-in and rest?”

The lobby manager immediately came running and said flatteringly, “Master Cecil, please come this

way.”

Cecil glanced at Theo coldly. As he walked past Philip, he directly threatened him. “Boy, I’d advise you

not to step into these muddy waters. It’ll kill you!”

After that, he moved away.

Suddenly, an uncanny voice sounded in the hall.

“Cecil Dane, is it? I’m really curious to find out what will happen if I do step into these muddy waters.”

Philip handed Mila to Anna and motioned her to take the child up first.

Everyone in the hall held their breath at his words!

All of them stared at Philip.

Who was this man? How dare he speak to Master Cecil in such a tone? Was he tired of living?

It was a known fact that Master Cecil once destroyed a whole family because someone disrespected

him!

Now, everything was over for this kid!

Cecil turned around and took off the pretentious sunglasses on his face as a ferocious cold glint

appeared in the corner of his eyes. He said, “Aren't you afraid of death?”

Philip said calmly, “No one has ever dared to let me die.”

Hahaha!

Cecil laughed. He pushed away the two beautiful girls beside him, glared at Philip, and shouted, “Little

Brother, you’re the first person who dares to act so arrogantly in front of me. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll

get someone to take care of you right now?”

“How dare you?!”

Theo rushed forward with a roar.

If anyone dared to make a move against Philip, even if it was Cecil Dane, Theo would not back down.

In the worst-case scenario, he would fight!

Philip stopped Theo, his eyes flickering as he looked at Cecil in front of him. He then said with a faint

smile, “Why don’t we make a bet? I bet that in this underground chamber of commerce, Theo Zander

will swallow all your territories in the South River District. How about that?”

So pompous!

His words were quite imposing!

The audience was astounded.

This guy actually dared to be so arrogant!

He was going to swallow the entire South River District?

He had to be joking!

Did he even know how terrifying the combined power of all the forces in the South River District was?

In that case, they would make an enemy out of the entire South River District!

The four overlords combined would be enough to overturn everything in the South River District!

Not to mention Riverdale!

Cecil applauded and laughed, his eyes full of fighting spirit. He said, “Very well! It seems that the

people chosen by Theo have the balls to swallow all the forces in my South River District. You have a

big appetite, but I wonder if you have the stomach for it?!”

The stomach?

Even ten Cecil Danes could not measure up to Philip’s stomach!

Philip smiled with a cold glint in his eyes. “Let me give you a kind reminder. Prepare a grave for

yourself, because I have my eye on you now. Otherwise, you’ll be fated to end the same way as Jay

Drago of the Brotherhood Fraternity!”
