Chapter 490
The First Heir
Philip furrowed his eyebrows, displeasure brewing ice-cold in his chest. In front of him were 30 to 40
men with over ten multi-purpose vehicles stopped before the hotelâs entrance.
The Andersons of the South River District had gone too far.
Philip was infuriated. One Beacon Pharmaceutical and one investment of a billion yuan, and now he
had to deal with this insufferable aftermath.
Philip knew that none of this would have occurred without the help of someone more powerful behind
the scenes.
30 to 40 men, each a thug with a bloodthirsty look in their eyes. They were either topless so that their
tattoos were visible or clutching metal rods in their hands.
It had been many years since the last local gang fight in Riverdale, let alone an intercity one.
Especially fights where one of the parties all had âfraternityâ tattooed in red on their backs!
âHoly sh*t! Thatâs the South River Districtâs fraternity! Why are they here in Riverdale?â
âOh, God, whatâs happening? Fraternity? The one even stronger than our local Theo Zander, that
fraternity?â
Many of the passersby fled and hid after recognizing who these men were. They were afraid that they
would be roped in unnecessarily and face dire consequences!
âWhatâs happening? The previous one marked the destruction of Klaus Harris, so whatâs the fraternity
here for?â
Many exclaimed, for this scene in front of them was indeed a little too much.
These were all foot soldiers nurtured by the fraternity. They were a group of die-hard followers with
weapons meant to cause serious injuries!
Noahâs menacing smirk, though forced, only seemed to grow stronger as he took in the large gang
Mitch had brought forth with him.
Mitch balled his bandaged hand into a tight fist!
Staring at Philip standing right ahead, he shouted fiercely, âYou know what to do right, my brothers?
Today, someone dared to provoke the fraternity. Following the rules of the fraternity, the man is to be
axed, then fed to the fishes! As for the girl, I want her caught alive and unharmed!â
Arrogance painting his face, Mitch did not seem wary at all!
What did it matter if Philip had shown exceptional execution in the private room?
What could he do when faced with 30 to 40 men?
Philip could not wrap his head around why so many people wished to feed him to the fishes. Especially
not when they were to one who kept provoking him only to turn it around and claim that it was all his
fault.
Shaking his head dejectedly, he pulled Wynn, who had fallen into a daze long ago, and patted her
fragrant shoulder. He whispered against her pink cheeks, âItâs safer inside, honey. You can come out
after a bit.â
Shocked, Wynn shook her head at Philip. She pulled him back as she frantically interjected. âWhat are
you doing? There are so many of them there. To go out is to get yourself killed! Iâll call the police! We
can hide inside together!â
Wynn was terrified. Shaking where she stood, her grip on Philip tightened.
Philip shook his head and gave Wynn a persuasive look. âDonât worry, they canât hurt me. Wait for me,
okay? Iâll be right back.â
The corners of Wynnâs eyes suddenly dampened. She did not understand why either, but there was
nothing except unwavering trust in Philip in her chest at that moment, like how she had felt in the
private room.
Still, she was worried about Philip.
There were just too many people on the other side.
Clasping Philipâs hand in her own, she hesitated before she spoke, âPlease be careful!â
Watching the scene before him, Noah felt his hatred bubble in his chest. The sight of the woman he
was chasing after being all lovey-dovey with another man sent fires of fury shooting upward from his
heart.
âStupid b*tch, Iâll make you pay! Iâll make sure to have you pressed on my bed tonight, Wynn Johnston.
Youâll be begging on your knees for my mercy!â
The hatred in Noahâs heart was only growing.
Mitch roared and commanded with the wave of his hand, âGet him! Beat up whoever comes in between
the fraternity tonight! Beat them up until theyâre incapacitated!â
At his order, members of the fraternity standing behind him ran and pounced toward Philip like starved
wolves at the sight of prey!
Mitch had no qualms with creating a ruckus, for someone would surely have dealt with the authorities
already. As long as the ruckus did not get out of control, it would not be anything money could not deal
with.
What did it matter if one or two ended up dead? All he had to say was there had been a fight between
people and pay someone to take the blame!
Mitch was no stranger to this sort of thing.
As for Riverdaleâs Theo Zander?
Hah.
As if Mitch cared at all. Was it a big deal if Theo Zander were to come? As if that would stop him from
killing Philip to assert dominance!
Looking at a bandaged Mitch, Noah made his way over to speak. He sounded like he was making an
unintentional comment. âHow dare he injure Sir Mitch? Had it been me, Iâd break his neck as a sign of
deterrence!â
Hearing the other, Mitch frowned and quirked an eyebrow. Turning to face Noah, his expression was
one of piqued interest. He questioned, âWhat do you have in mind?â
Chuckling, Noah spoke with a smile, âHow dare that Philip Clarke injure you, Sir Mitch? He must have
taken some sort of fearless pill! I wonder if I could possibly bother Sir Mitch with another request? Iâd
like to deal with the man myself if thatâs alright. Iâll give you another million!â
Noah had to bring Philip back for someone who wanted to meet him.
Two million!
This was good business!
Mitch was a businessman, though one of the underworld. He knew how much a life cost.
Smiling, he patted Noah on the shoulder. âWell since youâve asked, Brother Noah, thereâs no reason for
me to decline. Very well, then!â
Bowing in appreciation, Noah whispered into Mitchâs ear, âIâve brought someone over as well to help,
just in case!â
