The First Heir Chapter 1589
Very soon, ten minutes went by. There was still no movement downstairs. Bernard was even standing at the window and deliberately looking outside. Except for a few cars that drove past, there was no sign of any delivery trucks on the streets. There was not even a person! He turned around, shook his head at Martin, and said, “Martin, there’s nothing downstairs.” Martin immediately slapped his hands on the armrests, got up, and laughed unrestrainedly. He mocked Philip, “My dear nephew, what now? Ten minutes have passed. Where are your cash delivery trucks? Where’s the 1.6 billion dollars in cash? Hahaha!” Immediately after, the surrounding directors also spoke sarcastically, “I'm laughing my ass off. It's really fun to watch this drama at night.” “Yes, even though I’m an old man now, I can still watch such funny things happening. I’ll remember this for the rest of my life. Maybe I can even live longer from laughing at this.” “Philip, where’s your convoy? We’ve waited for te
The First Heir Chapter 1590
There was 50 million dollars in each case! Seeing this, the hearts of Martin and the others dropped to rock bottom! Philip actually got his hands on 1.6 billion dollars? In such a short time too! This was terrifying! What kind of strength would it take to do all this? Martin was flustered and extremely scared. What kind of monster was he fighting against? With such strength, why was Philip still in the Johnston family where he had to suffer from the contempt of others? “Did you prepare all this?” Martin was still a little suspicious. However, right after that, a middle-aged man in a gray suit quickly ran in from the door. He stood respectfully in front of Philip, bent over, and said with his head lowered, “Young Master Clarke, thank you for using Swiss Bank. Here’s 1.6 billion dollars in cash. This is your black card. Please check it.” Swoosh! Everyone was shocked when they heard the Swiss Bank being mentioned. At this moment, seeing the middle-aged man respec

This damned Philip dared to threaten them like this! Abominable! How hateful! After Philip left, Bernard breathed a sigh of relief and asked his second brother, “Martin, what should we do now? We’ve really landed ourselves in trouble. I don’t think Philip will let it go. Who would have thought that he actually has a black card from the Swiss Bank? This is simply unbelievable!” Bernard was very uneasy. How could they deal with Philip, a person who owned a black card from the Swiss Bank? It was impossible! Such a person could make all of them bankrupt and homeless just by lifting his finger. Martin’s face was very unpleasant. Standing with his hands behind his back, there was a mess of emotions on his face. Several members of the board also looked worried and sorrowful at this moment. They looked at Martin and asked, “Mr. Johnston, what should we do now? We’re stuck in a rut with you now.” “That's right, Mr. Johnston. We withdrew our capital from Beacon after listening
The First Heir Chapter 1592
Early the next morning, Martin and Bernard brought everyone to Beacon Group’s conference room. The atmosphere in the entire conference room was somber and tense. Everyone seemed to be deep in thought. Last night, most of them had received solicitations from two different parties, either at home or at the clubhouse. Today's shareholders meeting was crucial. Martin settled into the chairman's seat while Bernard sat next to him. He coughed lightly, signaling everyone to be quiet. He then spoke directly, “Today's shareholders meeting is very simple. I, Martin Johnston, will also be very straightforward and won’t beat around the bush. Today, I’ll resign from all positions in Beacon and will no longer serve as chairman of the board.” As soon as he said that, discussions broke out in the conference room. Martin’s time in power was short and no one expected him to resign so soon. Everyone had different opinions on this. Next, Martin continued, “However, please rest assured
The First Heir Chapter 1593
Philip’s sudden appearance caused everyone in the meeting room to be at a loss for words. They felt unsettled! One of them stood up abruptly, pointed at Philip, and sternly said, “Who are you? Who let you in? Don’t you know where this is? Security, kick them out!” This person was a newcomer and Martin had just promoted him, so he naturally did not know who Philip was. Philip turned his head and glanced at the guy. With a faint smile at the corners of his mouth, he said, “Take him down.” Swoosh! Two black-suited thugs behind him stepped forward and pinned that man to the floor! Instantly, the man howled, “Mutiny! Who the hell are you? This is Beacon’s conference room. How dare you act so boldly?! Security, where's the security?” Bam! As a result, Philip walked over and kicked the man's chest violently, sending him flying. He hit the seat heavily before falling to the ground. The man clutched his chest with a wail and could not get up for a while. With Philip’s kick,

Swish! Instantly, more than a dozen thugs rushed over and directly pressed all those who just voiced out to the floor! In a flash, the conference room was in chaos! More than a dozen people who stood on Martin’s side were harshly pinned to the floor by Theo’s men! They howled in anger, “Damn it! Who are you to do this to us? We’re the shareholders of Beacon! Even if Wynn were here, she wouldn't dare to do this to us!” “Let go of us or we’ll go to the Riverdale Chamber of Commerce and sue you!” “Philip Clarke, you’re too arrogant. This is Beacon, not your house! What right do you have to preside over this shareholders meeting?” Even though they were pinned to the floor, they were still very indignant and cursed at Philip. However, Philip still remained indifferent. He raised his eyebrows and looked at those people who were sitting in their seats in silence, saying, “If you want to end up like them, feel free to try.” As soon as he said that, dozens of thugs in black su

Hiss! Everyone gasped! All gazes fell on Philip. This guy was really too high-handed! Martin turned around, his face looking unpleasant as he stared at Philip. He said sullenly, “What are you doing?” Philip chuckled, stood with his hands behind his back, and stared at Martin with scorching eyes. He said, “Like you, I'm poaching talents. No matter how much you offer and how many promises you make, I’ll triple all offers. And it’s all in cash!” With that said, Philip looked at those people behind Martin who looked skeptical yet eager. “I think everyone is here for the money and no one will refuse the money that’s right in front of them, right?” “What’s your basis for saying that? How much money can you possibly have? You’re just a kept husband who relies on his wife!” “That’s right. Your reputation in Riverdale is not that good. How can we believe your words? Don’t try to bluff us.” “Hehe, if you have the ability, why don’t you show us what you have?” Everyone started
The First Heir Chapter 1596
Martin finally came to a realization. How could Philip be a loser? He was clearly a lion, a sleeping lion! However, he could not figure out one thing. If Philip was so powerful, why did he hide his true strength until now? Was it related to Madam Wallis of Cirrus Villa? However, Martin could not be bothered to think about it now. Instead, he turned around, looked at the group of people behind him, and said, “I won’t force you. I definitely won’t treat you badly if you choose to come with me.” After saying that, Martin turned around and looked at Philip resentfully, saying, “Just you wait!” Then, he left the conference room. Among them, seven or eight people chose to follow Martin. Naturally, that included several board members from last night. They had no other choice. The others had offended Philip and knew they would have no future in Beacon. The room became quiet at this moment. Only then did the rest of the people look at Philip with flattering smiles while sayi

The First Heir Chapter 6351
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending the lark family’s grand ceremony of the century,” a man announced in the middle of the square, and the bride stood next to him with a happy smile on her face. If Adam was present, he would definitely recognize the bride as the woman he had been dreaming of over the years, Ashley Bay. A handsome man stood next to the bride. His every move was imposing and domineering. They looked like the perfect match. Everyone looked at this scene and blessed them happily. “After a series of careful selection, I finally found the most suitable husband for my daughter. This is an important event for the lark people!” The lark people had a high status, and everyone wanted to marry into this family. After many selections, the bridegroom finally won the bride’s hand in marriage. Over the years, countless men had flocked around Ashley. After observations from all aspects, this man fit all the criteria—so much so that Adam had long been forgotten.

“This boot records various information about the lark people that may be very important to you. I believe you’ll understand after reading it.” After saying this, Renee handed the boot to Adam. She was not a fool. She knew that Philip was not the person initiating the search. Although Adam always remained calm, he could not hide his eagerness at all. Adam looked at Renee gratefully and took the book and started reading it without further ado. The more he read, the more shocked he felt. In the end, he was full of disbelief as if he could not believe what he saw. “Is this for real?” Adam finished reading the boot quickly and handed it to Philip and Carlos. The other two flipped through the book curiously. Philip scowled. He could not tell whether the information was true or false. “Is it true that the lark people have such an ability? It's recorded in the book that they can create a world. That’s simply…” Carlos was puzzled. Only a very powerful being could create a world. Was

“Please tell me how to find them. I want to find out what’s going on, even if it's just to convince myself to give up.” Adam decided that he still wanted to find the other party. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it. If everything was a lost cause, he would give up. Hearing that, Renee seemed conflicted as if deciding whether to tell them everything. “It doesn’t do me any good to tell you this. Why should I take the risk for no reason? I do business. You need to pay a price for it,” Renee said with a smile. Philip laughed. The words sounded very familiar to him as if he said them before. He used to say such things when he was doing business just to bluff some dumb customers. “Of course, I know you do business. If you’re willing to tell us something, we can offer you something in return, whether money or other resources,” Philip said with calm confidence. No matter what the other party wanted, he could easily provide it. Renee smiled at Philip’s words. “It's

The woman seemed amused by Philip’s request. “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, I’m not a liar. Although my actions don’t seem aboveboard to you, I’m not a bad person.” The woman did not hide anything. She knew that Philip had seen through the secret of her singing. As the only man who discovered her secret, she admired Philip very much. She once vowed that she would marry the man who could resist the temptation of her singing. “By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Renee, and I'm an employee of Moon Tavern. My job is very simple, that is to bring in more profits to the tavern.” Renee seemed very sincere and told them everything about herself. “However, my method isn’t very aboveboard. You already know that I make profits by using my singing to attract customers.” Renee mentioned her secret frankly, and Philip was surprised by her honesty. “As for the secret between me and the lark people, I can tell you that they hate me so much because some
The First Heir Chapter 6347
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Philip was all the more interested in this mysterious existence. He wanted to find out who they were to act so arrogantly. Obviously, the lark people were stronger than anyone could imagine. Ordinary people were afraid of this family no matter how powerful they were. Maybe the storyteller felt uncomfortable at the mention of this family, but he quickly left after a while. Philip and the others were disappointed that they could not find out the news they wanted. When they thought that they had to return in defeat, a woman appeared and looked at them calmly. The woman was wearing a veil on her face, making it impossible to see her appearance. The veil was quite an extraordinary item that could block various detections. However, Philip recognized her at a glance. She was the woman singing on the stage just now. She actually approached them. Things were getting more and more interesting. “What you want to know is taboo. Come with me if you want to fi

Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t

Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers

“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro

“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
