The First Heir Chapter 1777
When Homer heard this, his face darkened and his eyes went dim. He mumbled under his breath, “This is impossible. How could this happen so quickly? Who the hell is he? How could he have such means and strength?” Homer was flustered. For the first time, he felt as if he was facing a problem that could not be solved. He had never taken a young man like Philip seriously before, but in the current situation, he had no choice but to reassess Philip. “Chairman Dunley, what shall we do now? The employees in the company are already talking about resigning and a bunch of our partners came over early in the morning to ask us for goods. Although our people have temporarily held them back, we really can’t stall them any longer. Once they know our current predicament and these partners sue us, it’ll really be over for us!” The man looked anxious, and his forehead was full of cold sweat. Homer took a deep breath to calm his mind and said, “We can’t panic now. You go back and stabilize the

Soon, the call was connected. Milo’s hearty laughter came from the other end as he said, “Fourth Brother, why are you calling me this early in the morning? Hasn’t the matter last night been solved?” Homer sighed and said, “Milo, it hasn’t been resolved at all. Do you know what happened to my company early this morning? I lost 500 million in the stock market and all my assets and properties have been frozen and seized!” “What?” On the other end of the line, Milo was shocked. His face turned grim as he asked, “How did this happen? Did the kid named Philip Clarke do it?” Homer nodded and responded, “It's him. He called me this morning and asked me to hand over Hector. I refused. Not long after the call, I received bad news from my company’s secretary. Milo, tell me what I should do. You have a wide network of connections in Flower City. Help me find out what the bosses and big figures in Flower City think of this. Also, help me contact Philip and tell him that I want to meet him.

The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before saying, “Seventh Master, I understand your orders, but this matter is not that easy to solve. I think you should get in touch with the other party first. Not many people can deal such severe damage to your fourth brother’s businesses in just one night.” Milo’s face was cold. He knew that the other party was right. It seemed that he had underestimated Philip Clarke. “I know. There’s no need for you to lecture me. Just do as I say!” Milo yelled. “Okay,” the other party answered and hung up the phone. At this moment, Milo looked at his reflection on the glass window and felt for the first time that he had encountered a formidable opponent. In the past, he had always been the one who destroyed others. Now, it was the other way around. Someone in Flower City actually had the strength to make him suffer a loss and even bring destruction to his family. Just when Milo was thinking about how to solve the probl

At this moment, Hector noticed the smile on his father’s face and asked dubiously, “Dad, what’s up with you? Has Seventh Uncle handled the matter?” Homer glared at his stupid son and said, “Philip Clarke has come to Flower City.” “What?” Hector exclaimed in surprise. Then, with a look of excitement and malice, he said, “He actually dares to come to Flower City? Is he an idiot? Flower City is our family's territory. Barging in like this is the same as seeking death!” Hector was overjoyed! This damned Philip Clarke actually had the guts to chase him to Flower City. He would certainly kill Philip this time! Homer also narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, “Hehe, he’s just a young and immature kid. He thinks that we’re toothless tigers and a pushover just because he has temporarily subdued us. But he doesn’t know that in Flower City, there’s still your seventh uncle!” After saying that, the father and son smiled at each other. Hector quickly asked, “Where are you going
The First Heir Chapter 1781
Hearing this, Homer’s expression changed abruptly. He stared gloomily at Philip in front of him and shouted, “My friend, do you really think I have no men in Flower City and that’s why you’re being so arrogant?” Milo also frowned and said with a pretentious smile, “Mr. Clarke, since you’re willing to come here and meet us, it means that there’s still room for discussion on this matter. Why don't we sit down and have a good talk?” After saying that, Milo gestured for the angry Homer to sit down. Philip just looked at the two indifferently without a word. Milo added, “Mr. Clarke, I think there’s a misunderstanding between us. Hector just injured a nanny. Our Dunley family is willing to pay for this mistake. Just name a price and we’re willing to accept it.” “A price?” Philip glanced at him and said with a sneer, “You may have misunderstood my meaning. I came to see you just to tell you that if you hand Hector to me, I can still stop now. Homer Dunley will still be the chairma

Philip grinned. “Do you think 50 million dollars is a lot? Anne is still in a coma. If she doesn’t wake up, I think there’s no need for you to live in this world either.” Homer laughed in exasperation. He had never seen such an arrogant young man. The price of 50 million dollars was already their limit but the other party did not appreciate it at all. She was just a nanny, right? Since she could not wake up anymore, why not let everything end here? Thinking of this, Homer could not help but sneer. “Very well, since you refuse to accept, we can’t do anything either. You won’t get a single cent of this 50 million dollars. Do you still want to deal with us? Fine, let’s see your methods. I refuse to believe that you can make my Dunley family of Flower City go bankrupt!” The corners of Philip’s mouth curved up, revealing a cruel sneer. He said, “In that case, you shall wait and see.” After that, he turned to Milo and said flatly, “I’m only after the responsible party. I don’t wa

Hearing this, Milo’s face darkened. Although he was sullen, he still said with a smile, “What did you say? Are you looking down on me?” Milo was almost dying of laughter. This arrogant guy actually dared to say something like this. He did not take him seriously at all! This was Flower City of Charbury! If one were to mention who had the greatest power in Flower City, it was undoubtedly the Dunley family! The brothers Homer and Milo Dunley! Although Homer was ranked fourth in the branch Dunley family while Milo was the seventh, and several of the brothers were scattered in other areas of Charbury so they hardly contacted each other, the seven brothers of this branch Dunley family would definitely gather together to fight against a common enemy as long as Milo made the call! “Philip, I advise you not to think too highly of yourself. This is Flower City of Charbury, my territory! Since you’ve stepped into this hotel today, it means that if we don’t reach a settlement, you
The First Heir Chapter 1784
The branch Dunley family only moved here later, and to a large extent, they had not gained respect from the locals in Flower City. Later, due to the high status of the main Dunley family in Charbury, other regions were in awe of the talents in the Dunley family. If ranked by seniority and origin, it was still far from enough for the branch Dunley family to dominate Flower City. This formed a situation where all the forces held each other in check. In fact, the six underground lords of Flower City did not accept the Dunley family at all. However, they were so apprehensive of the prestige and strength of the main Dunley family in Charbury that they were still respectful of Milo. At this moment, Jowin entered the private room. A bunch of his underlings followed closely. They each had a crew cut and tattoos, which made them look extraordinarily domineering. Their appearance made Milo sullen. “Master Jowin, what brings you here?” Although Milo inwardly refused to yield to

“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.

“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

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
