The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Baloo turned around and scoffed. “Are you threatening me? Mr. Quinn, you should realize that this is the private property of the Hane family,

not the bodyguard room of your Joo family. Besides, empty threats don’t work on me. Even if your identity isn’t simple, it makes no

difference.

“At my place, you have to follow my rules!”

Mack shook his head, feeling sorry for Baloo. He said, “Baloo, it’s not a threat, and I don’t have to threaten you either. I'm just explaining a

fact to you. Philip Clarke is not someone you can provoke. You still have 25 minutes.”

Hardy also looked at Baloo at this time with pity in his eyes.

This guy was still putting on airs at this time!

They had no idea what it would be like when Third Young Miss lost her temper!

They really did not expect the Hane family to be in such a mess. They were simply a nest of vipers!

After being repeatedly ridiculed and threatened, Baloo finally had enough.

Besides, he was one of the three top gamblers in Riverdale, so he turned around and said angrily, “Fact? What fact? The only thing I can see

now is this group of people from the Joo family relying on your special identities to forcibly trespass into the Hane family’s private property.

You’re even arrogantly declaring that you want us to release a person who was captured by the Hane family! I won’t let this matter go and

neither will the Hane family!”

Hardy folded his arms and scorned. “Mack, stop wasting your time with these people. Just look at them. They’re still so ignorant at this point.

So stupid! They’re just asking for it. Let’s stop talking nonsense with them and we’ll see who has the last laugh!”

“The Joo family is so uppity that they don’t even take the Hane family seriously. Well, since you said to wait for half an hour, then I’ll wait for

half an hour!”

Baloo also lost his temper at this stage. He stood at the gate without hesitation, lit a cigarette, and took a few puffs.

He had no choice. Since he had accepted the job, he needed to carry it out to the end!

Even if trouble arose, this matter was a problem between the Hane family and the Joo family. He could retreat completely!

He sneered, “I’ll stand here today and see if anyone dares to take another step forward. Half an hour later, I want to see what you’re going to

do to me!”

“Moron! I can’t bear it anymore. Mack, let’s break in!”

Just as Hardy and Roy were about to make a move, two dazzling headlights suddenly lit up at the gates.

Baloo sneered while Hardy silently lowered his fists. Looking at the license plate number, it was undoubtedly Klein’s car.

When Klein got out of the car, he saw that the compound was full of people with murderous auras.

He frowned and asked, “Baloo, what’s the situation? Didn’t I tell you to move faster? What are you doing here?”

Baloo flicked his cigarette, walked up to Klein, and whispered close to his ear.

Klein frowned, looked at Mack, then enthusiastically held his hands. “It’s the special class bodyguard from the Joo family. It’s such an honor. I

wonder what the Joo family is doing in my small courtyard in the middle of the night. Is there something urgent?”

Klein Hane was an old fox who could put the pieces together easily. At this time, he was trying to pull a bluff on them.

Mack naturally heard the intentions behind his words. It seemed that he and Baloo shared the same views.

Klein was also looking at Mack and his men. There were just three of them, so it was nothing to be afraid of. Even if a scuffle happened, they

could easily take them down and release them later.

Moreover, the people from the Joo family came all the way to his private residence in the middle of the night and he unexpectedly

encountered this peculiar incident.

This clearly showed that the Philip Clarke who they caught tonight was no ordinary person!

Klein guessed that Mack’s appearance was directly related to Philip.

After much consideration, Klein made a decision. It was nothing more than a few members of the Joo family. This was the Hane family’s

territory. He had every right to detain them!

Philip Clarke had to be delivered to the Hane family in Capital City tonight!

However, Klein also had some doubts in his heart. How did Philip get involved with the Joo family?

Could it be…

“We do have an urgent matter, and it’s very tricky!”

Mack looked at Klein and said, “You caught a man by the name of Philip Clarke tonight. We must see him immediately.”

Klein frowned as he turned to Baloo and asked, “Did you capture this Philip Clarke tonight?”

The corners of Baloo’s mouth curled upward as he said shamelessly, “Third Master Hane, I’ve no idea about this. I was just about to tell my

men to check.”

Klein nodded with approval in his eyes. Juan’s recommendation of Baloo was correct. This guy had brains.

He said, “Well, go ahead then. We can’t keep the special bodyguards of the Joo family waiting.”

After that, Klein turned to Mack and said with a smile, “Mr. Quinn, since you came here in a hurry, I believe you’ve not eaten yet. Why don’t I

buy you dinner?”

Hardy snorted. “Another buffoon who doesn’t know what’s good for him.”

Klein frowned and glared at Hardy furiously!

Mack quickly interrupted. “We’re not hungry. We hope Third Master Hane can deal with this matter as

soon as possible and we can return to our stations too.”

Klein retracted his gaze. With a face full of smiles, he returned to his pretentious harmonious

demeanor. He signaled to Baloo to continue his investigation while he remained in the courtyard with

Mack and the others.

He had no alternative. If they refused to enter the house, Klein could not enter either. He needed to use

his identity to suppress them.

Baloo brought his people into the dimly lit room and saw Philip sitting leisurely inside through the

modified glass wall.

Without further ado, Baloo pushed the door open and entered the room.

Chip’s back was already drenched with sweat at this moment. When he saw Baloo walking in, he

breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Baloo…”

Baloo waved his hand and said, “You can leave. I’ll take it from here.”

Chip nodded and quickly walked out.

After he went out, he stood at the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

The pressure inside was too intense!

That Philip Clarke gave him a feeling of a sleeping tiger that was ready to swallow people whole at any

time!

In the dimly lit room, Baloo sat down, looked at Philip sitting across from him, and smiled before saying,

“Hello, we meet again.”

Philip raised his eyebrows and glanced at Baloo with a thoughtful look in his eyes. Then, he said with a

smile, “Baloo, it seems that you still harbor conniving thoughts against me.”

“That’s right. I didn’t expect we’d meet again under such circumstances.”

Baloo switched off the recording device and folded his arms. His expression became stoic as he said,

“Let’s talk. Are you planning to let Theo come here again?”

Philip shook his head and said, “No, I can handle the Hane family on my own.”

“How? I’m very curious. What makes you so bold to say things like this? I checked up on you. You’re

nothing but a useless son-in-law of the Johnston family. But now, I’m confused. Who on earth are you?”

Baloo’s interest was piqued.

“Didn’t you see it clearly the last time?” Philip asked.

“That was the last time, this is now. People targeted by the Hane family rarely walk out alive unless you

have a trump card,” Baloo sneered.

Philip frowned and went silent for a moment. Then, he suddenly smiled and said, “Did Juan Parker

send you here, or Margot Pearson?”

Baloo’s heart instantly trembled!

He knew!

Baloo’s expression turned cold as he said with a slightly menacing sneer, “Is that important?”

“You’re right. They’ll end up dead anyway.”

Philip grinned, showing his white teeth while looking innocent.

However, that smile only made Baloo shudder!

From Philip’s grin and eyes, he felt the ferocity of a beast!

The look in this guy's eyes was so terrifying!

Was this the reason why the boss was apprehensive about him?

Philip scoffed. “I need to remind you, don’t fan the flames and set yourself on fire. Be careful or the

flames will burn everyone behind you to death.”

Hearing this, Baloo frowned. A wave of anger welled within him, but he quickly suppressed it.

He said grimly, “Philip, I know you’re on good terms with Theo and have some tricks up your sleeve, so

I don’t plan to torture you. I’ll give you two options. One is to explain Young Master Hane’s beating, and

the other is to find a way to get away from the Hane family. Obviously, the second option is more

difficult. No one can leave safely while being targeted by the Hane family.”

Philip shrugged, looked up at the ceiling, and said, “The so-called facts you mentioned were indeed

done by me. I can admit it, but the Hane family might not be able to do anything to me. When Kenneth

Hane went after my life with a bunch of street punks, I taught him a good lesson. As for Francis Hane,

he asked for it. He shouldn’t have harbored any intentions toward my wife.

“Let me add one more thing. If the head of the Hane family knows about this, he’ll definitely kneel and

beg for my mercy,” Philip grinned as he said calmly.

Baloo stared at Philip silently before suddenly saying, “There’s someone outside who wants to save

you. I'm very curious about your true identity.”

Philip waved his hand and said, “There are too many people who want to save me. I can only say that

justice will prevail over evil. As for my identity, I really have nothing to hide, actually…”

Baloo frowned and became tense as he stared at the smiling Philip.

At Baloo’s reaction, Philip deliberately leaned forward and beckoned. “Come closer. It’s not convenient

to reveal my identity like this. I'm afraid that the wall has ears.”

Baloo hesitated for a while before leaning closer.

Philip lowered his voice and said, “Actually… I’m your uncle!”

“You!”

Baloo was furious. He slammed the table and roared, yelling, “Philip Clarke, don’t play any tricks! This

is the private residence of the Hane family. Watch yourself! Otherwise, I can’t guarantee what they’ll do

to you!”

“Oh, really? That's great. I hope you won’t live to regret it!”

Philip sneered, “Baloo, at this point, you’re still acting in front of me. You really think I don’t know who’s

behind this?”

Margot Pearson was not so stupid, so it had to be Juan Parker.

Baloo retorted, “What are you talking about? Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. You’re the one who

didn’t cherish it. Whatever happens next, you asked for it!”

“Okay!”

Philip chuckled coldly. “I haven’t settled things with you the last time, so we can take care of everything

in one go!”

Baloo suddenly calmed down. He did not expect things to reach this point. Philip was actually so calm

and even threatened him in return.

Where did he get the confidence from?

From the Joo family outside?

There was no need for Baloo to continue the pretense. He sneered, stared at Philip, and pulled on his

leather jacket before saying, “Well, since you’re so adamant, then I have no other choice. It’s a pity. I

heard that your wife is still pregnant. What if she’s met with a mishap, a car accident perhaps, or falls

off a building? What’s going to happen then?”

Philip looked at Baloo and said coldly, “The only thing you shouldn’t have done is to threaten me with

my wife!”

Baloo looked at the time and snickered. “I’m out of time. Either you explain it or I’ll help you explain.”

“You’ll help me?” Philip asked.

In the huge courtyard, Mack stood motionlessly while staring fixedly at the gate. He would check his

watch from time to time. Next to him, Klein spoke incessantly with a smiling face.

Klein could not help it. The special class bodyguards of the Joo family had extraordinary background

and status. Even if he was the third master of the Hane family, he needed to treat them with courtesy.

It was because these people, to a certain extent, represented the patriarch of the Joo family and even

Old Master Joo himself!

“I say, it’s not appropriate for you to stand here all the time. Why don’t we head to the restaurant across

the street? Let me be the host.”

Klein’s objective was very simple—to divert the attention of Mack and his men and create favorable

conditions for Baloo to act.

Of course, Mack was fully aware of his intentions. He shook his head faintly and said, “No, I’ll just wait

here. Time is almost up anyway.”

“Time is up?”

Klein was taken aback. He had no idea what Mack was referring to.

Hardy scoffed. “I think this Klein Hane is really unfortunate. He's about to kick the bucket but has no

idea why. It’s no wonder. The people here are just a bunch of rubbish.”

When Klein heard this, he suddenly became angry. He had endured this kid for a long time. He was the

dignified third master of the Hane family but he kept being mocked by the other party!

“What are you saying?!”

Klein immediately said angrily, “Mack, is this the fine attitude of the Joo family’s special class

bodyguards? I’m the third master of the Hane family but you’re allowing your subordinates to abuse

me? The Hane family will definitely not let this matter go! I want to see just how the Joo family has

trained you!”

At this time, Mack did not reprimand Hardy but stared at Klein coldly instead. It was this look that frightened Klein all over as if he had fallen

into an ice pit. He felt as though he was being stared at by a hungry wolf!

“I’ve given you half an hour, but you didn’t cherish it. If this is the case, then you should bear all the consequences,” Mack said solemnly with

his cold eyes.

Klein was a member of the Hane family of Capital City after all and had weathered through a few storms. He immediately recovered and

sneered, “Well, well, what mighty airs you put on! People from the Joo family have trespassed into my private property in the middle of the

night. I’ve been very polite to you, but now, you want to meddle in my private affairs too. Okay then, let’s see what the consequences are!”

As soon as Klein finished speaking, Hardy was about to make a move, but two big lights suddenly lit up at the gate. The courtyard was

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

brightly lit in an instant.

It was a black Cadillac followed by another car behind it. Looking at the license plate, it was Deaton Wade in person!

This time, Klein’s frown grew deeper.

He knew Deaton Wade. He was a bigshot in Riverdale with an unusual status. Plus, he had Reed Williams standing behind him. He was not

to be underestimated!

As soon as Deaton got out of the car, he enthusiastically ran to the front, personally opened the door of the Cadillac, and said, “Miss Joo.”

Everyone was dumbstruck. Who was Deaton Wade?

He was the boss of the top bodyguard agency in Riverdale!

At this moment, he was willing to act as a valet and open car doors. One could imagine how amazing the identity of the person sitting in the

Cadillac was!

Vivi Joo stepped out in her black high heels. She could be seen wearing a black dress. She got out of the car with a stern face and smiled at

Deaton.

“Third Young Miss.”

Mack, Hardy, and Roy walked over and greeted her respectfully.

Vivi nodded, looked at the private residence of the Hane family, and asked coldly, “Where is he?”

Mack was a little nervous as he glanced at Klein. He said, “Still inside.”

Vivi frowned slightly and glanced at Deaton. Deaton immediately called out to Klein, “Hey, Klein, come here.”

Klein was already stunned. He was not a fool. He knew at first glance the identity of the woman who had just gotten out of the car!

The third young miss of the Joo family!

The Joo family was in the top four hidden families in Capital City!

It was a major affluent family!

At this moment, Klein was already covered in a cold sweat. With heavy steps, he walked to Deaton, forced out a smile, and said, “Miss Joo, I

didn’t expect to see you here.”

Vivi merely flicked a glance at Klein and said, “You know me?”

Klein wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and squeezed out a smile. “I was fortunate enough to visit the Joo family with my eldest brother

before and had the honor to see you. Of course, Miss Joo wouldn’t have remembered me.”

Vivi nodded without a word.

Deaton asked, “Klein, did you capture a guy by the name of Philip Clarke?”

It was over!

Klein knew he was in big trouble when he heard that. His eyes twitched, and he was just in time to see Mack looking at him as if he was

looking at a corpse.

He swallowed a mouthful of spit and said, “Yes, I did capture Philip because he severely wounded my nephew and the Hane family demands

an explanation.”

Klein’s remarks brought the Hane family to the table as a bargaining chip.

This way, the other party may weigh the next move more carefully.

Sure enough, Deaton frowned upon hearing this.

How could anyone dare to catch Philip Clarke?

Deaton still remembered the previous lesson vividly.

“These special bodyguards from the Joo family wanted to take him away from the Hane family, but I didn’t agree to it.”

Klein continued as he stared at Vivi.

The meaning was obvious.

He would not agree for the Joo family to take him away.

Deaton wanted to ask for more details, but unexpectedly, Vivi said coldly, “I don’t care about the affairs of the Hane family, but I want to see

Philip Clarke right now.”

Vivi’s tone was indifferent, but her attitude was strong. There was no room for discussion at all.

Of course, she did not put Klein Hane, the third master of the Hane family, in her eyes either!

Even if someone like Deaton Wade was here, she did not look at him directly.

When Klein heard this, his heart trembled. He was very clear of the consequences if Vivi entered the house. Almost instantly, his back was

drenched in a cold sweat!

Deaton frowned when Klein did not make a move and asked, “Klein, are you feeling unwell? Why are you sweating?”

Klein chuckled and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. On the other side, Hardy said sarcastically, “He’s definitely unwell. I’m afraid he

might piss his pants out of fright when he gets in.”

Klein was still worried that he might not be able to change the subject, so as soon as he heard this, he immediately jumped in anger!

“Insolent! Are these the carefully selected elites of the Joo family? How dare you talk to me like this! My name is Klein Hane and I’m the third

master of the Hane family! I represent the entire Hane family!”
