Chapter 1977
The First Heir
Allen had no choice but to lean against the window, hoping that the disc-sized window could receive
the signal.
At this time!
Boom!
The warehouse door opened and a tall figure appeared at the doorway with their back against the light.
The blinding sunlight mixed with the dazzling blue of the ocean shone into the warehouse.
Connor and the others raised their eyes. They looked at Philip who was standing at the door of the
warehouse. He had his hands in his trouser pockets. There was a nonchalant look on his face and a
sneer on his mouth.
Connor immediately stood up angrily, pointed at Philip, and shouted, âPhilip, weâre core members of the
branch Clarke family. By treating us like this and locking me up in this cargo warehouse, itâs a
humiliation to me! I must go to the law enforcement hall and complain about you!â
Levi also stood up, scratched his body, and shouted, âThatâs right, hurry up and let us out. I want to
take a bath. This place is filthy! Iâm the eldest young master of the branch family. I have to change a set
of clothes before I go to the island! Otherwiseâ¦â
âOtherwise what?â Philip smiled coldly.
Levi was also strong headed and said, âOtherwise, Iâd rather die here than step foot on the island!â
âVery well, Iâll grant your wish.â
With that said, Philip drew a dagger from the waist of the guard behind him and tossed it at Leviâs feet.
Clatter!
The dagger reflected a ray of dazzling silver light and Levi shrank back in fright. The words got stuck in
his throat and he dared not utter another word.
He froze for a while before stammering, âW-Whatâs the meaning of this?â
Philip snorted and said, âYou wish to die, right? Do it yourself and Iâll throw your body into the sea later.
Itâs the best of both worlds.â
As soon as he heard this, Levi got scared and hurriedly hid behind Connor. He yelled, âGrandpa, look
at Philip. Heâs actually so cocky now.â
Connor was also full of anger and said, âPhilip, weâll reach the island soon. Do you still dare to make a
move against us at this juncture?â
Philip raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, âWhy not?â
After he said that, several heavily armed guards behind him rushed in and escorted Connor and the
others out to the deck!
Connor and the others struggled and howled but to no avail. Especially when the guardsâ muzzles were
pressed against their heads, the three men completely panicked.
Connor was in his 60s and had weathered many storms. Faced with such a situation, he could still
calm his mind and say, âHehe, Philip, are you trying to scare me? If you have the ability, tell them to
fire!â
Philip stood in front of them, lit a cigarette, and took a few puffs. He exhaled and said, âStop holding on
to your illusions. Iâve already taken care of the people you arranged.â
Hearing this, Connorâs heart sank. He exchanged a glance with Allen before saying, âI donât understand
what youâre talking about.â
Philip knew they would never admit it so he threw them a mobile phone with a video on it. It was a
video of a naval battle.
A group of combatants fell from the sky and took control of several ships.
Connor had never seen this group of people. They were not the Clarke familyâs guards or members of
any forces.
Was this the force developed by Philip?
On the ship, more than a dozen people who took the lead knelt on the ground. After interrogation, they
revealed that the mastermind behind them was Allen Clarke.
Then, gunfire broke out everywhere. Those people arranged by the island and Allen were killed and
dumped into the sea.
The moment they saw the video, the hearts of Connor and the others went completely cold. No wonder
they could not get in touch with them. It turned out that Philip had long been prepared.
