The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 2391

The middle-aged man was extremely furious. This was the first time someone dared to say such

arrogant words to him here!

He was told to get lost?

Ridiculous!

Everyone else crossed their arms indifferently, waiting to watch the excitement.

After the middle-aged man scolded, he pointed at Philip and said sharply, “Junior! You’re simply too

audacious. Now, I want you to kneel and apologize!”

However, Philip shook his head and repeated with a sneer, “You said just now that those who get to sit

here are judged by their strength. I think I’m stronger than you, so shouldn’t you get lost?”

“Hahaha!” That middle-aged man laughed uproariously, but a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.

He said, “You think you’re stronger than me? How dare a young brat like you brag like that? Very well,

then. Let me show you my strength!”

Bang!

After that, the middle-aged man slammed the table, jumped into the air, and threw a punch at Philip’s

stomach!

He did not hold back at all with this punch because he wanted to make an example out of Philip!

Everyone present was also surprised and said, “Patriarch West’s strength has improved again. I’m afraid

he has reached the strength of the fourth zone!”

“He was still in the third zone the last time. This time, the energy fluctuations in him are much stronger

than before.”

“Although everyone’s strength is limited to the third zone, looking at Patriarch West’s strength, that brat is

doomed for sure!”

Just as everyone kept singing Patriarch West’s praises, a figure flew out with a bang and crashed heavily

into a pillar before falling to the floor with a thud!

Everyone gasped when they saw the figure that was still standing!

An instant kill?

How was this possible?

Philip was standing in the same spot and had only raised his fist slightly.

With such a simple move, Patriarch West,

whom everyone said was quite powerful just now, was blown away with one punch.

Patriarch West fell to the floor, clutched his chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He looked at Philip with great indignity and spat out a few words, “Y-You’re actually so strong.”

Then, he passed out. At this moment, everyone felt a little creeped out.

This young man who could defeat Patriarch West with one simple move was by no means a simple

character.

At this point, everyone’s eyes fell on Philip with doubts, shock, and naturally, some hatred.

However, these people did not jump out immediately.

After all, Philip had proven his strength.

“Now, is this position mine?

Chapter 2392

Philip looked at everyone coldly and imposingly.

Following his scrutiny, no one dared to raise any objection.

Leon clapped his hands at this moment, stood up with a smile, and said to the subordinates behind him,

“Men, bring Patriarch West to treat his injuries.”

Then, he walked to Philip’s side, patted him on the shoulder, and addressed the crowd, “Everyone, this is

the new member of Cherry Villa. Please welcome him!”

After saying that, Leon clapped heartily while sparse applause was heard from the crowd. However,

Philip said, “Villa Master Jefferson, I didn’t agree to join Cherry Villa. I’m here to look for someone.

Leon smiled and said, “Philip, don’t worry. The Miss Johnston you’re looking for should have already

gone back.

“Gone back? With whom?” Philip was anxious and frowned.

Sure enough, Wynn had gone back.

Leon motioned for everyone to continue the conference before he walked out of the main hall with Philip

and said,

“Philip, the person who brought Miss Johnston here is a young man whose strength can be said to be on

par with yours. Such a person is naturally welcomed in Cherry Villa. They came here to get something.”

Philip frowned and asked nervously, “What?”

Leon raised his eyebrows, looked at the stars in the sky, and said with a sigh, “It’s an item left here by Mr.

Lovelace back then. If I’m not mistaken, that young man should be someone from the Lovelace family,

and Miss Johnston is most likely related to them too.”

‘Mr. Lovelace?’

“Villa Master Jefferson, that Mr. Lovelace you mentioned, could it be Grant Lovelace?” Philip asked with

a frown.

Leon turned his head, scrutinized Philip seriously, and said, “Do you know him?”

Philip got his answer. Then, he shook his head and said with a smile, “No, I just heard about him from

the elders in my family.

Leon nodded upon hearing that and said a little sadly, “Mr. Lovelace was an outstanding talent, a genius

who could stand on equal footing with that person among the four back then. It’s a pity that luck wasn’t

on his side, and The Lovelace family incident became a taboo that can’t be mentioned. Back then, Mr.

Lovelace single-handedly settled the dispute between the north and south disciples. He also brought

peace to all parties. It’s a pity that because of his achievements, his talents, and his strength, he was

envied and hated by all parties. It resulted in the destruction of his lineage. Mr. Lovelace is a true hero of

his generation.”

Leon spoke as if he recalled many past events. His eyes were red, and his expression was quite

emotional.

Philip was silent.

He did not know much about Grant Lovelace. Now that he finally found someone who knew him, Philip

had to ask clearly.

“Villa Master Jefferson, is Grant Lovelace really the hero you mentioned? I heard that the Lovelace family

was engaged in some inhumane human experiments, which led to their destruction,” Philip said.

Leon turned to Philip in surprise and said, “You seem to know more than I thought..

Philip smiled and said, “It was mentioned by the elders in my family before.”

Leon nodded and said, “Although the Lovelace family incident has long been concluded, it’s still widely

circulated among the people in the disciple community. There are three factions in the Lovelace family.

The radical faction is the one engaged in inhumane human experiments. The sanctions that were

supposed to be aimed at the radical faction back then ended up falling on the conservative faction by

accident, which led to the destruction of Mr. Lovelace’s

lineage.”

“Do you know how this situation happened?” Philip asked.

Leon shook his head in confusion and said, “I’m not sure either. No one dares to investigate the Lovelace

family.incident. However, there are rumors that before this incident happened, Mr. Lovelace once went to

the Gentleman Court and had a secret meeting with the court master for up to two hours. After that,

things started to happen to his faction. The Gentleman Court may know something about it.”

Gentleman Court?

Benny Larson?

Philip frowned, thought for a while, and said to Leon, “Villa Master Jefferson, I have some personal

matters to deal with, so I’ll take my leave now.

Leon smiled and said suddenly, “Philip, please wait. I have a request and I wonder if you’ll oblige.

Chapter 2393 Philip glanced sideways at Leon before he asked, “Do tell. If I can help, I’ll try my best.”

Leon smiled, rubbed his hands secretly, and said, “I would like to invite you to participate in the Disciple

Competition between Cherry Villa and Terrain Villa one month later.”

“Disciple Competition?” Philip frowned, a little puzzled.

Leon quickly explained, “As you probably know by now, Cherry Villa in the south has always been at

odds with Terrain Villa in the north. We compete both openly and covertly. When Mr. Lovelace single-

handedly pacified the disciple community from the north and the south decades ago, the Disciple

Competition became a tradition. After all, there have always been disputes between the north and the

south, but to prevent the situation from escalating, all issues will be resolved at the Disciple Competition.

The winner will decide how the issue will be handled.”

“This is also the reason why the southern supernatural disciple community has always been inferior to

the north for so many years, because the disciples in the north are supported by the ten great families.

Big disciple families like the Singer family is there to provide their disciples guidance. The gap between

the disciples in the north and the south is still quite large, which forms a vicious cycle. That’s why the

south has always been suppressed by the north.”

“Moreover, the young talented disciples from the north and the south have a huge disparity in strength. In

past Competitions, the results were all nine losses and one draw.”

At this point, Leon was obviously a little embarrassed.

The supernatural disciple community in the north was getting.stronger and stronger.

If this continued, perhaps the disciple families in the north and some unscrupulous forces might even

defy the rules set down by Grant Lovelace in the past.

They might try to unify the entire country.

When the time came, bloodshed would be inevitable.

Thus, Leon had been.troubled by this recently.

It was because the people Cherry Villa could send out were too few. Every year, they could

only rely on that one person to barely scrape through the situation.

Philip listened in silence before he frowned and declined, “I’m sorry, Villa Master Jefferson, but I can’t

help with this matter. I don’t want to join Cherry Villa or participate in the Disciple Competition. Those

things mean nothing to me. I have my affairs to deal with.”

Hearing this, Leon looked a little helpless and quickly said, “Philip, do think about it. As long as you

agree to participate, I’ll do my best to help you with anything in the future.”

Philip looked at Leon and found that he looked very serious.

However, Philip really did not want to get involved in the.disputes of these disciple families.

The supernatural disciple community in the north and south had nothing to do with

him either.

“I’m sorry, Villa Master Jefferson. I can’t help you.”After saying that, Philip turned around and was about

to leave.

“Philip!” Suddenly, a shout came from behind.

Philip turned around and saw a scene that shocked him.

Chapter 2394 Leon Jefferson was actually on his knees. He said, “Philip, I sincerely implore you to

represent the southern supernatural disciple community in this Disciple Competition. I’m not doing this

for personal gain but the greater good and stability of the disciples in the north and the south. We were

originally one, but because of some ambitious people, we found ourselves in this current situation.nBack

then, Mr. Lovelace noticed the conspiracy of those people and decided to use iron-handed methods to

stabilize the turmoil of the disciples in the north and the south. I don’t want to see his great achievements

be drowned in the long river of history, and I don’t want to see the disciples in this country kill each

other.”

“There’s not much time left for us in this world. I hope that in my lifetime, I can see the disciples in the

north and south unified and harmonious. I hope we can jointly resist the disciples from outside the

country. Philip, I hope that you can grant this request of mine.”

Philip was taken aback as he looked at Leon who was kneeling in front of him. He was one of the three

masters of Cherry Villa, and Philip had heard other people’s comments about how he was a disciple of

the sixth zone. With such an honorable status and strength, he was willing to kneel before Philip for the

sake of the Disciple Competition.

With such courtesy and virtue, he was truly a great man!

Philip quickly stepped forward, helped Leon up, and said, “Villa Master Jefferson, what are you doing?

Please get up. I’II agree to your request.”

Leon got up with Philip’s help, bowed slightly to Philip, and said, “Philip, I hope you won’t be angry at me

over my actions. I really have no other choice. The disciples of Cherry Villa are dwindling. This year’s

Disciple Competition may be the last test for us from the north. If we lose again, we might face a life-

threatening situation. I hope that you can try your best to help us!”

Philip sighed and said, “Even if I promise to help you, I can only achieve one victory.”

Leon sighed and said, “I’ll continue to look for some people to participate.”

Philip frowned and said, “If you trust me, I can help you bring a few people over.”

Hearing that, Leon asked excitedly, “Really?”

Philip nodded and said, “But I can’t guarantee that the other parties will participate. I can just try.”

Leon bowed and thanked Philip repeatedly. “Thank you for your help. In the future, if you need my help,

just ask and I’II do my best!”

“Thank you, Villa Master Jefferson. I’ll take my leave, then,” Philip said.

At this time, Leon suddenly stopped Philip and said, “Philip, be careful of the man beside Miss Johnston.

He’s very strong!”

Philip nodded and left Cherry Villa.

When he returned to Zodiac Palace, he saw Wynn, who had been waiting for him for a long time, as

soon as he arrived at the entrance.

“Wynnie!”

Philip exclaimed, ran over quickly, and asked, “Where have you been?”

Wynn looked at Philip who ran over and coldly said, “Get in the car.”

Philip was taken aback as he looked at Wynn who immediately got into the car. He followed suit.

Inside the car, the atmosphere Was somber.

Wynn did not say a word and had her arms crossed over her chest. Her face was cold.

When the car arrived at a nearby hotel, Wynn finally spoke, “Philip, I’m going to the Lovelace household.”

“The Lovelace family?”

Philip exclaimed and quickly said, “What did Shane Lovelace say to you? You mustn’t believe him so

easily! He’s from the radical faction of the Lovelace family! He has bad intentions toward you and Mila. If

you want to go back to the lovelace family, I can take you there.”

However, Wynn interrupted Philip and said, “No, you can’t take me there. You’re the enemy of the

Lovelace family l have decided on this matter. In a few days, I’ll go back to the Lovelace family with him.

There are some things that I have to face and investigate on my own. Philip, thank you for being with me

and protecting me for so long. However, regarding the Lovelace family and my parents, I want to handle

the matter myself.”

Chapter 2395

Philip looked at Wynn solemnly and asked, “Are you sure you want to go by yourself?”

Wynn was silent for a long time and finally nodded, saying with great certainty, “Yes, I’m sure. I want to

go to thenLovelace family to have a look. Only then can I know what I want, what l want to do.”

Wynn looked at Phillip with love in her eyes and said, “l also want to be the woman behind you. I want to

have the strength and ability to protect you, Mila, and Nelson. Philip, I don’t want to be a burden to you, I

Let alone a worthless decoration as others say. You’ve always been silently helping me. I didn’t know

your identity at that time, let alone my name.”

“Now, I don’t want much.l just want to know the truth and where my future path lies.”

After listening to Wynn, Philip fell silent. The atmosphere in the car was somber. It was so depressing

that it was difficult to breathe.

Finally, Philip’s eyes tensed as he said, “Okay, I agree. Do whatever you want to do, and find out

whatever you want to find out. Just remember that I’m your husband and am always behind you. You’ll

have my and the Clarke family’s backing. No matter what difficulties you encounter or problems that you

can’t solve, as long as you tell me, I’ll help you solve them.”

Wynn listened with tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.

She put her arms around Philip’s neck and cried softly. “Philip, thank you for your tolerance and

understanding for me all this while. I know that I’m too indecisive and weak-minded. I’m sorry. It’s my

bad. I’ll change myself.

In the end, Philip hugged Wynn tightly and said, “Wynnie, we’re husband and wife. You don’t have to say

such things. I believe in you and l love you, so I tolerate you. No matter what you do next, I”ll support

you.”

With that said, Philip pushed Wynn away, looked at her tearful eyes very seriously, and said, “Before

that, you must.promise me one thing.”

“What is it?” Wynn asked.

“For your safety, I’ll equip you with four members of the Shadow Squadron to always protect you. This is

my only request to you. I don’t know the Lovelace family. They give me a dangerous feeling, and they

seem to be up to something.” As Philip said that, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.

Wynn nodded and said, “Okay, I promise you. I’ll watch out for my safety too.”

After saying that, Wynn’s voice became smaller and she said, “After going to the Lovelace family this

time, I don’t know.when I can come back. According to Shane, itl take at least three months. There are

many things that I have to seek personally to find answers to. So, Philip, in the next three months, I’ll

leave Mila, Nelson, and Beacon Group to you.”

Philip looked at Wynn affectionately, stroked her head, and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of the

kids. I’ll wait for you to come back.”

Wynn nodded. “By the way, were you looking for something in Cherry Villa?” Philip suddenly thought of

something and asked.

Wynn hummed and took out a small black box from her handbag. Under the ear lights, the black box

looked very mysterious. The carving on top of this black box was also very special.

It seemed to be a picture of a group of ancient people holding a cauldron to perform alchemy.

They seemed to be offering treasures as well.
