Chapter 1007
The First Heir
This scene happened too abruptly and too quickly!
In the car, Theo and the two black-suited bodyguards in the front seats quickly took out their weapons
from their waist and waited!
Theo realized they had fallen into the trap!
It was a planned diversion!
Moreover, the other party had set up an ambush on the mountain road leading to Riverdale from
Phoenicia.
In other words, the people behind were here to kill Philip!
âMr. Clarke, stay in the car!â
Theo immediately made plans. He looked at the two men in front of him and said, âFollow me down.
Whatever happens, protect Mr. Clarke!â
However, Philip stopped Theo, shook his head, and said, âItâs useless. Since the other party has
already arranged this, they wonât let us go. Stay in the car and act according to the situation!â
Through the glass windows, they saw four or five men and women wearing various masks approaching
from behind the cars while holding long firearms in their hands. They were ruthlessly shooting at the
remaining bodyguards!
Bang, bang, bang!
For a while, loud gunshots resounded!
Boom!
A black Mercedes-Benz exploded. Soaring flames and blasted parts flew everywhere!
Watching this scene, Theo squeezed his fists tightly and quickly checked the surroundings.
The car could no longer move, and there were no empty spaces around them.
They could not run up the mountain because it was almost a 90-degree slope!
Running down the mountain was even more impossible because there were cliffs and dense forests!
Theo was filled with anxiety at the moment!
If something happened to Philip while he was under his care, he would really blame himself even if he
went to hell!
Soon, the gunfire outside ceased.
The five masked men and women emptied a few more barrels of bullets on the black-suited
bodyguards who had fallen on the ground before turning their attention to the Mercedes-Benz at the
forefront.
The guy who took the lead, wearing a V for Vendetta mask, shouted at the Mercedes-Benz with a deep
voice, âMr. Clarke, come out.â
In the car, Philip glanced at the five people who had already surrounded him, pushed the car door
open, and walked down calmly.
The man in the mask watched as Philip, Theo, and the others came out of the car. They could not help
but sneer. The triangular eyes behind the mask carried a ferocious chill as the man said, âMr. Clarke is
indeed a powerful man. I canât see a trace of fear in you at all. How admirable.â
Theo and the two bodyguards raised their guns, standing in front of and around Philip.
Philip glanced at the five people and asked straightforwardly, âWho sent you and how much are you
getting? Iâll triple it!â
The man in the V for Vendetta mask laughed up to the sky, saying, âI know youâre rich, Mr. Clarke, but
weâve already taken on this job. We canât betray our employer just because of your offer to triple the
price, right? Besides, do you think I wonât search for the money from your body later on?â
The four people behind him also laughed at that.
Philipâs face darkened. He looked at the man in the mask and asked, âWell then, the first question, who
sent you?â
Cold and indifferent.
That was Philipâs expression.
Even in the face of the threats from the five opposing people, he showed no fear.
This was the courage that belonged to the heir of the Clarke family.
The leader suddenly stopped sneering as suspicion flashed through the corner of his eyes. He mocked,
saying, âWhy? Do you think you can escape from our hands?â
Philip said flatly, âMaybe.â
Hahaha!
A burst of laughter.
The leader laughed presumptuously. This was the first time he heard a joke like this in so many years.
Lame Fred was in the business for so many years and had never missed!
Even against Mr. Clarke who had caused such ripples in Phoenicia recently, he was confident in
winning.
âOkay! Youâre very bold indeed! Do you think that with the three good-for-nothings around you, five of
us can be killed?â Lame Fred asked coldly.
The follower beside him said impatiently, âBoss, letâs stop the nonsense and just kill him.â
Lame Fred turned his head, glared at him, and said, âBrainless fool! Havenât you heard that this kid has
a card with a balance of 100 billion?! If we can get our hands on it, we wonât have to fight and kill for the
rest of our lives!â
Then, Lame Fredâthe man in the V for Vendetta maskâturned his head. His eyes were glinting with
chills as he stared at Philip and said, âMr. Clarke, why donât we make a deal? Iâll let you go, but you
have to give me the card and password.â
Philip sneered, took the card out of his pants pocket, and said, âI can give it to you, but I donât know if
you can swallow it!â
