Chapter 4195
The First Heir
After all, the white tiger royal family had the final say in their territory. However, it was impossible for
Philip to tell Arlo about such things.
âYou donât need to know how I found out. If you have a trump card, you can use it now. If you donât, Iâll
send you on your wayâ¦â
Before Arlo could speak, a weather-beaten voice rang out from a distance. It was a voice that told
many stories.
âLittle one, have mercyâ¦â
Philip looked in the direction of the voice, his gaze sharp and his brows slightly furrowed.
He saw a dark alley. A tapping sound and light footsteps came from that direction.
Everyone followed suit and saw an old man with a cane slowly walking out of the alley.
The old man had a white beard, white hair, and age spots all over his face. He was very thin, looking as
if a gust of wind could blow him away.
After the old man walked out of the alley, he looked up at Philip in the sky and smiled kindly as he said,
âLittle one, I wonder if you can spare Arloâs life on my account?â
Philip smiled and said, âSir, may I know why you want to speak up for Arlo? Strictly speaking, heâs my
enemy. It doesnât seem right to let the tiger back into its denâ¦â
Philip never intended to let Arlo go, but this old man piqued his interest.
The old man grimaced and said helplessly, âWe can turn enemies into friends. What do you think,
young man?â
Philip raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, âSir, may I know whatâs your identity and position for
saying this?â
Someone in the crowd said, âThe former mayor of Trifecta City, Barry Hoodâ¦â
The old man turned to look at the man who spoke and said with a smile, âI didnât expect someone to
remember me. Iâm flatteredâ¦â
Hearing this, Philip frowned.
He recalled Lilac telling him yesterday that the former head of the Hood family was a mayor from
Trifecta City named Barry.
When Barry stepped down from his position, he was at level seven of the pseudo holy tier according to
the current standard. It had been decades since then, and Barry was not an idiot, so he must be at
level eight of the pseudo holy tier by now.
Philip could not help but take this seriously, and his wariness increased.
âSo, itâs old Mr. Hood. Arlo must be your descendant, thenâ¦â
Barry nodded with a smile and said, âYouâre a smart young man. In that case, letâs not beat about the
bush. Just tell us your purpose. If the Hood family can accept it, we can call it a day. What do you
think?â
Philip frowned. He could not figure out what Barry was thinking.
If Barry made a move, Philip would certainly be at a disadvantage unless he used everything he had.
However, Barry did not!
After thinking for a moment, Philip looked up at Barry and spoke calmly, âI want the Hood family to
submit to meâ¦â
