The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

The Dragon Seal!

It was the personal token of Roger Clarke who was the head of the Clarke family!

The power was immeasurable!

If this token was issued, all the forces and financial resources that belonged to the Clarke clan would have to follow the order!

Furthermore, this token could be used to call upon the old veterans who conquered the world with Roger back then!

It was a token that could mobilize Roger’s hidden power!

If the Sovereignty Seal was used to command the power of the Clarke family out in the open, then the Dragon Seal would command the

power that was hidden in the dark!

It would include mobilizing the Shadow Squadron!

This token was the only one in the entire world!

This was what Giada, including the people behind her, coveted the most!

That was the cornerstone of Roger Clarke and the cornerstone of the Clarke family!

However, Roger gave the Dragon Seal to Wynn!

The moment this token was taken out, all the frolicking shadow guards in the entire ward froze as they looked at Wynn with great respect.

Wynn did not know the significance of this token. She just took it in a daze, glanced at it for a few moments, then replied, “Father-in-law, it’s

too expensive. It’s pure gold. I can’t accept it.”

Wynn did not know the identity of Roger Clarke, the head of the world's most powerful family.

He was the head of the Clarke family on Arcadia Island.

He was the controller of 70 percent of the world’s assets.

She only thought that the token looked strange. It was made of pure gold, so it was very valuable.

She could not accept it.

However, Roger shook his head and said, “Take it. This is the only thing I can give you. You’re the daughter-in-law of the Clarke family. As

your father-in-law, I have to give you something decent.”

Wynn could not refuse his kind intentions, so she nodded and accepted it.

After chatting for a while longer, Wynn hesitated before asking, “Father-in-law, what does our family do?”

Roger smiled and said, “Philip should be the one to tell you this. Take care of the baby. I have something else to deal with now, so I’ll be

taking my leave.”

After that, the middle-aged man behind Roger adjusted the blanket on Roger's body, then pushed him to go out.

“Grandpa, are you leaving?”

Mila ran over and grabbed Roger’s hand.

Roger touched her little head fondly and smiled kindly. “Good girl. You must listen to your mother. Grandpa will see you next time, okay?”

Mila nodded heavily and smiled mischievously. “When Grandpa comes to see me next time, remember to buy a Barbie doll for me.”

Roger laughed and said, “Okay, I’ll buy it for you next time.”

After that, Roger left with everyone.

With Mila in her arms, Wynn looked at the people leaving while holding the pure gold token in her hand.

What exactly was this token?

Here, Roger was not in a hurry to leave. He said mildly, “Where is she?”

The unsmiling middle-aged man behind him bent over and said, “Old Master, let me go instead. It’s unbecoming for someone of your status

to see her.”

Roger coughed a few times, waved his hand, and said, “It’s the in-laws after all. It’s just a meeting.”

After that, the middle-aged man stopped speaking and pushed Roger to the next inpatient ward.

At this time, Martha was lying on the hospital bed wailing.

Her arms hurt.

Although she just went through surgery, the anesthesia had passed. It was a heart-piercing pain that she would never forget!

Damn that Philip! She would never let him off!

With her arms in plaster casts, Martha stared at the ceiling with very bitter eyes.

Next to her, Charles also shook his head helplessly and sighed.

His wife had done something wrong again.

This time, Philip obviously did not let her off.

The moment Charles knew that Martha had an accident, he completely gave up.

“Charles, I can’t tolerate this. Philip actually asked someone to break my arms. How could he treat me like this? I’m his mother-in-law.”

Martha sobbed, hoping that Charles would seek justice for her.

However, Charles only shook his head helplessly and sighed. “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? Isn't it your fault? If anything happens to

Wynn, can you bear it? Moreover, you actually hired murderers!”

Charles was heartbroken. He did not expect Martha to be so wicked.

Martha glared at Charles and cursed, “Do you think I want to do this? If Philip hadn’t forced my hand, how would I do such a thing? Besides,

don’t you realize that many things have happened to our family recently? Which incident is not related to that wastrel? Our family can only be

peaceful once he’s dead!” Martha argued.

She dared not tell the truth. She was afraid of Margot’s retaliation.

After all, she had messed things up.

Moreover, time was running out for her.

Martha was panicking. With her arms broken, how was she going to steal that jade thumb ring?

What was that thing anyway? Was it valuable?

Was it the same as the glassy jade bangle that she had back then?

When Charles heard Martha’s words, his face darkened with a frown as he said, “What are you talking about? You hired someone to kidnap

and kill! It’s a criminal offense and you can be jailed! Fortunately, nothing happened. If something really happened, the rest of your life would

be over!”

Charles could not believe that this sentence came out of Martha’s mouth.

Was she crazy?

“Bullsh*t!”

Martha cursed hysterically, “I don’t care if that piece of trash dies. What does it have to do with me?”

Charles was helpless while Martha was completely consumed by hatred.

Martha stared at the ceiling, hissing and crying in pain. The continuous pain made her resentment for Philip grow deeper.

Damn it. She would kill him sooner or later!

Just as Martha was cursing Philip to the heavens and back, a few people suddenly appeared at the door of the ward.

First, two bodyguards in suits entered the ward and looked around. Then, an old man sitting in a wheelchair was slowly pushed in.

Immediately afterward, eight men in suits stood in the ward.

Immovable!

Majestic!

Both Martha and Charles were startled at the sight.

“Who is it? Where did this old man come from?”

Martha was angry now, so she was naturally displeased when she saw such an old man coming in

without permission.

Was this man about to die so he was sent to the hospital?

He was in the wrong ward.

“Get lost! What is this dying old man doing here? You must be in the wrong ward,” Martha cursed

again.

She was very grumpy now.

Charles was still well-behaved. After he got up and looked around, he could tell that the other party was

not a simple man.

After all, the eight guards in suits were no ordinary people.

However, at this time, these guards heard Martha's disrespectful words and their demeanors exploded

with murderous intent!

The killing intent from these eight people alone seemed to overwhelm the entire ward!

Like a tangible sword, the deathly aura directly pierced the venue!

If someone else dared to show such disrespect to the old master, their head would have rolled to the

ground long ago!

However, before they came, Roger had instructed them not to make any rash moves.

Charles was not stupid either. In a split second, he felt as if he was being targeted by an evil dragon.

The feeling of being uncomfortable and cold all over made him panic.

“Uh, excuse me, may I know who you are?” Charles asked tentatively.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Roger glanced indifferently at Martha on the hospital bed. There were chills in

his eyes.

Sure enough, this in-law was really not afraid of death and showed no respect to others at all.

She was so harsh and unreasonable. He wondered how Philip tolerated her over the years.

“I'm Philip’s father, Roger Clarke,” Roger said to Charles politely.

However, his tone was already full of chills.

Martha and Charles immediately stood there blankly!

This old man who looked like he was at the brink of his death was actually Philip’s father!

Then, he had to be Giada’s husband!

Martha was dumbfounded and her heart was pounding with fright.

When her eyes met Roger’s deep fathomless gaze, she trembled with trepidation.

It was horrifying. What kind of look was that? It was as if the invincible king had descended on the

mortal realm!

Martha trembled in fear.

This was her first time meeting the in-law, and the scene was actually like this.

He looked very old and sickly, but his eyes were full of vicissitudes and profound depths.

Martha felt as if she was stripped naked in front of Roger, where even her thoughts could not be

concealed at all.

That feeling was mortifying!

Moreover, at this moment, Roger’s aura was very intense. Although it was already being suppressed,

Martha, who was lying on the hospital bed, was still overwhelmed by the kingly presence.

She could not help swallowing a mouthful of spit, cold sweat running down her forehead!

The entire ward was filled with killing intent!

Charles dared not say anything as well. Seeing Roger at this time was even more terrifying than the

time he saw his immediate boss back then!

This was Philip’s father, his in-law!

How terrifying!

Although it was just a look, Charles’ knees went weak.

The man’s next sentence made Martha panic.

“I heard that in the past three years, you’ve humiliated, beaten, and scolded my son. You’ve even done

a lot of detrimental things,” Roger said calmly while looking at a pale Martha.

With just one sentence, Martha was now faced with enormous pressure!

This was her first meeting with Roger, but the other party’s words, mannerisms, and gestures all carried

a strong aura of regality!

Hiss!

Martha had a strong feeling of foreboding, especially since she had just yelled at him just now. Was

she not courting death?!

That was the in-law.

Philip’s money also belonged to this person.

“No, I didn't. It's all a misunderstanding. Please don't listen to others' nonsense.”

Ignoring her pain, Martha forced a smile and quickly explained. She was flustered and felt so guilty that

she dared not look at Roger.

However, Roger smiled and said intently, “I know exactly what you’ve done. This time, I want to give

you a piece of advice. The Clarke family is not a pushover. My Philip is kind-hearted, but it doesn't

mean that I’m soft-hearted. Martha Yates, you’d better watch your steps from now on. If I ever find out

that you did anything out of the ordinary to Philip, my daughter-in-law, or my granddaughter, I don’t

mind personally killing you.”

Kill… Kill her?

Martha panicked.

However, she was unwilling to yield. There was deep resentment hidden in her eyes.

What the heck!

Who did he think he was?

He was just the old man of Philip, that wimp! With that dying look of his, he still dared to come here and

threaten her?!

Martha was very upset and immediately retorted, “What right do you have to say that? You’re just the

father of Philip, that piece of trash. What? Do you think you can scare me by bringing so many

people?”

When Charles heard this, his heart jumped suddenly. He quickly yelled at Martha, “Shut up!”

Then, he apologized to Roger. “Mr. Clarke, please don’t mind her. She’s angry now and doesn’t know

how to filter her words.”

However, with just one look from Roger, Charles was so shocked that he took several steps back!

What a terrifying gaze!

Not only him, but even the gazes of the suited bodyguards standing behind Roger made them all look

like hungry tigers. Their eyes were filled with killing intent!

It was quite obvious that as long as Roger gave the order, they would not hesitate to kill Martha!

Charles panicked.

Roger looked sickly, but he gave people the creeps.

“Slap her mouth,” Roger said lightly with a biting chill in his eyes.

As soon as his voice fell, a shadow guard behind him stepped forward at once.

Smack!

Smack, smack!

Three slaps, one after another, landed on Martha’s face!

Every slap was made at full force!

Like thunder, it resounded through the ward!

Martha was dumbfounded!

She never expected that the other party would act so recklessly!

The in-law actually told someone to slap her!

Furthermore, it only seemed to be a little warning!

Martha was very angry, but she was even more frightened. This in-law was too intense and scary. His

gaze looked as if he wanted to eat people up.

Charles stood on the sidelines, completely speechless.

Compared to Philip, this in-law had far more powerful methods!

Roger coughed a couple more times before saying indifferently to Martha, “Remember what I said and

don’t go too far. In my eyes, Philip breaking your arms is just a small lesson for you. If I were to make a

move, you won’t even be alive now.”

Martha quickly nodded and replied, “I know. I won’t do it again.”

She could not help but give in. Compared to that wimpy Philip, this in-law was much stronger.

Until now, she still could not accept Philip riding on top of her head.

Furthermore, even his father was putting airs in front of her now.

She was upset and dissatisfied.

However, Martha could only endure it, grit her teeth, and swallow her grievances.

Did she dare to talk back?

No!

She was afraid of death.

Martha could tell that if Roger nodded, the people around him would kill her in an instant.

Roger glanced at the uneasy Martha and said lightly, “I really hope you keep it in your mind instead of

just saying it to me. If I ever find out that you’re up to no good, don’t blame me for not considering our

in-law relationship.”

“Of course not,” Martha quickly responded as she sweated profusely.

At that moment, she really experienced Roger’s majesty and imposing power!

She was a coward after all. Now that Philip’s father was so domineering, Martha panicked.

It was not until Roger left with his men from the ward that Martha finally let out a sigh of relief. She was

feeling uncomfortable and exhausted.

Horrible!

How could a dying man show such intensity?!

Martha gritted her teeth with hatred in her eyes!

Philip bullied her, and now his old man was bullying her too! Damn it!

Was Martha Yates such a pushover in their eyes?

“Damn that old man, scaring me when he’s already on his deathbed,” Martha cursed bitterly.

Charles shuddered in fright at her words and quickly said, “Don’t talk so much. I can tell that the in-law

is not an ordinary person. Let’s not provoke him so recklessly.”

“So what if he’s not ordinary? Even if he is powerful, can he be the richest man in the world? Besides,

he’s almost dying. He already has one foot in the grave with only one breath left,” Martha cursed

vehemently, but her frustration was not vented at all.

However, what she did not know was that Roger Clarke was indeed the richest man in the world!

Even Giada Wallis, who she feared, would bow down in front of him!

Suddenly!

A man appeared in the doorway of the ward.

He was one of the eight suited bodyguards from before.

At this moment, his eyes were cold with a biting killing intent. His entire being was like the towering

Himalayas as he slowly walked in.

At the same time, he took out a pair of white gloves and put them on his hands. His eyes were cold as

he said, “Although the Old Master doesn’t want to lay a finger on you, your disrespect to my lord has

violated my professional creed, so…”

He did not state it clearly.

However, the man's behavior, words, and eyes all revealed a deadly vibe!

Martha immediately shouted in horror, “You… Who are you? What do you want? This is a hospital. Are

you trying to kill me? Even your master dare not touch me. How dare you? I’m going to call for help!”

She was flustered and scared, especially when she saw the man donning white gloves. Was this not a

common plot in TV series when killing people?

Martha was panicking now, shaking all over.

If she was not afraid of these people before, including Roger, then she was truly scared now.

These people could do anything!

“You! Don’t come over! I'm his in-law! If you do this, aren’t you afraid that your employer will settle the

score with you?” Martha shouted hysterically with panicked eyes.

However, her arms were broken and suspended in mid-air in plaster casts.

She could not run away even if she wanted to.

“My master’s kindness has nothing to do with me. Anyone who’s disrespectful to the lord should be

killed, even if you’re the in-laws!”

The man wore the white gloves as his dark eyes flashed with killing intent!

No one in this world could insult the master!

Violators had to be killed!

“Charles, stop him! He’s crazy! They’re a bunch of crazy people!” Martha shouted desperately.

At this time, Martha could only rely on Charles.

However, Charles’ knees had already gone weak. He wanted to go up and stop the man, but the chill that exploded from the other party's

body and that bitter murderous intent made Charles unable to take a step!

It was too overwhelming!

Watching helplessly as that man walked toward the hospital bed one step at a time while stretching out a white-gloved hand, Martha yelled

with fright.

“Help! Murder! Save me!”

However, it was to no avail.

Crack!

The sound of broken bones was heard throughout the ward.

It was immediately followed by Martha’s screams and curses!

Of course, this only lasted for half a minute, and then, there was silence.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

After that.

The man walked out of the ward. Before he left, he turned his head and stared at a breathless Martha who was lying on the hospital bed with

broken legs. He said emotionlessly, “Since the master said not to kill you, I won’t kill you. But these two legs are the price of your disrespect

to the lord. If you repeat this mistake, be careful of your neck!”

After that, he coldly walked out of the ward.

On the hospital bed, Martha looked miserable as she stared blankly at the ceiling.

The enormous pain had made her numb.

Her legs were broken!

Then, Martha let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Who the hell was this in-law? The guys around him were absolutely lawless!

The man walked out of the hospital and stopped in front of a parked Rolls-Royce at the entrance. This vehicle was a limited edition globally,

the only one ever produced.

This car was most definitely the only customized version of Rolls-Royce in the world.

It was fully equipped with strong bulletproof defense capabilities.

In front of the Rolls-Royce was the middle-aged man who had been following Roger, that is, the commander of the Shadow Squadron. At this

moment, he glared at the man walking toward him and reprimanded, “You did it?”

That guy did not hide anything. “I just taught her a little lesson.”

The middle-aged man frowned slightly and said, “You disobeyed orders! I’ll settle it with you when we return!”

After that, the middle-aged man got into the Rolls-Royce and turned to Roger who had his eyes closed in the car. He said respectfully, “Old

Master, it's time to go back.”

Roger said slowly, “There’s no hurry. Let’s head to Cirrus Villa first.”

“To see Madam Wallis?” the middle-aged man raised his brows and asked.

Roger smiled faintly and said, “Since I’m already out, I might as well see her.”

The middle-aged man then stopped talking.

The Rolls-Royce convoy at the entrance of the hospital slowly drove away.

On the other side, after Philip was done with his work, he returned to Wynn’s ward.

As soon as he entered the ward, he found Mila there while Wynn was also doing something mysterious.

“Mila.”

Philip squatted down and called out to Mila with his arms wide open.

Mila was having fun playing by herself. Seeing her father, she quickly trotted on her tiny feet, kissed Philip on the face, and shouted sweetly,

“Daddy.”

Philip hugged Mila dotingly, spun around a few times, then walked up to Wynn who was sitting on the sofa. He asked, “What’s wrong? You

don’t look too good.”

Wynn raised her eyebrows and looked at Philip. After a long hesitation, she said, “Philip, Father-in-law came just now.”

Father-in-law?

Philip did not understand at first. While teasing Mila, he asked again, “What father-in-law? Who?”

“Your father,” Wynn said with both eyes fixed on Philip.

In that instant, Philip felt as if he was struck by lightning. He froze on the spot and stared at Wynn in disbelief.

The expression on his face changed constantly, revealing his suspicion. He said awkwardly, “What are you talking about? How could my dad

be here?”

Philip did not believe it.

His father was in Riverdale?

What was he doing here?

Did something happen in Arcadia Island?

Wynn already predicted that this would happen. She took out the token, handed it to Philip, and said, “Look at this. Father-in-law gave it to

me.”

Philip turned around. When his eyes fell on the token made of pure gold in Wynn's hand, he was stunned!

The Dragon Seal!

It turned out to be the Dragon Seal!

Father was really here!

Philip’s heart pounded. He took the token from Wynn's hand, looked at it in disbelief for a while, then turned to Wynn before asking, “You met

my father?”

Wynn nodded in assent.

“What did you say?” Philip asked again.

Wynn shook her head and said, “Nothing much. Father-in-law just said he came to see the child. Because he didn’t come to our wedding

back then, he gave me this.”

Philip held the Dragon Seal in his hand, his eyes in a daze and his thoughts jumbled.

He did not understand the meaning of his father handing this token to Wynn.

This was the Dragon Seal!

It was the symbol of the Clarke family’s patriarch!

Once an order was made, the members of the Clarke family all over the world had to obey!

To be honest, with this seal, Philip could do many things.

Even the members of the branch family would have to bow down in front of this token!

However, this token was not for unlimited use. It was bounded by family rules.

In ten years, only three uses were allowed.

The Dragon Seal was of extraordinary significance.

It had not been seen for more than ten years.

Every time it appeared, a bloody storm would follow.

Wynn looked at Philip's contemplative expression and knew that this was no ordinary item.

In this case, she was even more curious.

What exactly did Philip's family do?

“Philip, what does your family do? Who’s this father-in-law? I could tell that everyone following him was not ordinary. They all had murderous

auras.”

Wynn still had lingering fears.

The eight war gods had a strong impact on Wynn.

“What people?” Philip asked.

Wynn shook her head and said with a frown, “I don’t know. They were dressed in suits with a golden dagger crest on their collars.”

The Shadow Squadron!

Philip was startled as he came to a realization.

His father brought eight members of the Shadow Squadron with him this time!

What was he up to?

“Don’t worry. They’re just normal bodyguards. My father's health is not good, so it’s better to bring more people with him.”

Philip smiled as he explained, but his mind was still shrouded with doubts.

Back to Roger. Four Rolls-Royces had just arrived at the gates of Cirrus Villa.
