Chapter 25
The First Heir
Theo Zander! King of the underground! A dominating figure who was famous within the city.
Drogo, who had been full of himself earlier, was now rooted to his spot with a dark expression, feeling
intimidated as he watched Theo come in.
âBrother Theo, why did you bring so many people into my establishment?â Drogoâs complexion looked
terrible. He quietly gritted his teeth as he felt irked. Could he go against Theo? The answer was
obviously a ânoâ.
However, Theo completely ignored Drogo, never giving the latter so much as a glance. This made
Drogo flare up in anger. Iâm still one of the top five most powerful men in the underground world of
Riverdale! This man is just too disrespectful!
What happened next was a scene that shocked every person in the room! Even if Anna was already
aware of Philipâs identity, she could not help but feel waves of shock as she saw it with her own eyes.
Theo had strode over to Philip, took down his gentlemenâs hat, and then bowed to him, showing great
respect and humility. âMr. Clarke, my apologies for being late.â This young man was old Georgeâs
young master, so he shall be Theoâs young master as well.
Philip was calm, only nodding faintly. âYou should know what to do.â
âOf course.â Theor straightened up and stared at Drogo with a dark glint in his eyes.
By now, Drogo was dumbstruck. He could not imagine how the underground king could be this
respectful to a mere boy toy. What the f*ck was going on? But Drogo was not an idiot. In an instant, he
figured that the young man must be someone of a distinctive identity!
At that moment, Theo was staring at Drogo with a dark expression.
Slap! With powerful strength, Theo landed a tight slap across Drogoâs face!
Drogo stared at Theo in disbelief. He glared back at the man with venomous eyes and said through
gritted teeth, âTheo Zander, are you trying to start a fight?â There was no clamor, but a vicious look on
Drogoâs face.
âStart a fight?â Theo laughed before giving the man a fierce kick in the chest. Then, with the soles of his
white shoes, he stepped on Drogoâs face. âAnd can you win against me with the likes of you?â
As expected of the underground king, his approaches were always dominant and vicious, never
showing Drogo any respect as he taught the man a lesson like Drogo was only a little brat.
Theo stared down at Drogo and said coldly, âToday, whoever offended Mr. Clarke has earned their
name on my hit list. Not a single one of you can leave!â
Soon after he spoke, the men that Theo had brought over pressed all of Drogoâs men onto the ground.
Devastating screams rose and fell, one after another!
Just then, a crisp interrogation sounded from behind the bead curtains. Jeffrey held his bloodied head
with a napkin as he parted the bead curtains furiously and roared, âYouâre Theo Zander? So what
youâre saying is that you will lay a hand on me as well?â Jeffrey was seething. He was only here to toy
with some woman, but he got his head cracked open instead!
Drogo, who was still on the ground, smiled darkly. âBrother Theo, donât blame me for not reminding you
that Mr. Scott is not someone you can offend. Even if youâre very influential within Riverdale, Mr. Scott
is from Golden City. Before him, youâre nothing!â
Mr. Scott? From Golden City? Theo frowned slightly. His foot pressed down harder as he glanced at
the man standing above the stairs.
Recognizing Theoâs confusion, Drogo quickly crawled up and ran over to Jeffrey. He quickly
straightened himself up, arranged his suit, and rode on Jeffreyâs coattails, saying, âBrother Theo, this is
Mr. Jeffrey Scott, the representative from Turnerâs Hospital in Golden City. Heâs also Professor Henry
Turnerâs nephew!â Drogo was almost shouting the last sentence out loud like he was afraid no one
could hear him.
Thump! Theoâs pupils contracted as he looked at Jeffrey, his fury had almost dissipated by now.
That man was Professor Henry Turnerâs nephew!
