The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

“What are you waiting for? Take him away now!” Chip shouted at his men.

The men noticed that their leader was angry and quickly tried to grab hold of Philip. However, the latter suddenly turned around. A pair of

gloomy eyes was bursting out with a cold light, staring at Chip.

Chip frowned. He had never seen such a fierce gaze before. His heart thumped as he shouted, “Why are you still in a daze? Take him away!”

This time, Philip did not resist but allowed them to take him out of the private room.

Philip narrowed his eyes and stared at Chip.

“Do you know Chuck Norton?” Philip suddenly asked.

“What do you mean?”

Chip did not understand why Philip had suddenly asked this question.

However, he did know Chuck Norton because Chuck was his brother!

His brother was in charge of external affairs back then, and he was responsible for unorthodox matters.

Moreover, Chuck was the most outstanding talent in his generation.

His martial arts skills were superb!

However, it was also eight years ago that the Hane family faced a huge crisis!

Not only was the martial arts academy that belonged to the Hane family wiped out by the opponent, but Chuck was also seriously injured. He

was still crippled now!

That incident was taboo for the entire Hane family!

Chip exchanged a glance with Klein, both of them confused.

How did this kid know Chuck?

Philip approached Chip, looked at him with narrowed eyes, and said, “What I want to say to you is very simple. The world is fair. It’s not that

you won’t receive retribution, but the time is just not ripe yet. Chuck’s outcome will be the same as yours.”

After hearing Philip’s words, Chip shuddered all over for no apparent reason!

A hint of chill also welled up in his heart!

“How dare you threaten me?!” Chip roared.

Seeing him, Philip sneered and left the private room.

Wynn looked at Philip’s back and glanced at Klein, her face instantly becoming cold.

She looked at Klein who was sipping red wine alone in the main seat and said seriously, “I’ll do everything in my power to deal with the Hane

family of Capital City. You have my word!”

Even at the expense of the Beacon Group, Wynn needed to deal with the Hane family!

They had made the first move against Philip!

What did it matter if the Hane family was rich and powerful?!

Wynn was not a coward!

Wynn’s face was impassive. She had made her choice.

She would use all means to deal with the Hane family—that was her choice.

Even if everything was at stake, she would not hesitate.

Although she was a woman, her words resounded resolutely at this moment!

“Madam Johnston, why are you doing this? I’ve made investigations about Beacon. It looks very promising. Why don’t you cooperate with the

Hane family instead?”

Klein was full of malicious schemes.

His purpose in Riverdale was very simple. The first was to regain some dignity for the Hane family, the second was to take down Beacon,

and the third was to prepare for the underground chamber of commerce next month.

After all, the Hane family was also one of the main participants in this major event.

They had their own puppets.

“That won’t be necessary.”

Wynn looked at Klein and said solemnly, “Mr. Hane, since you’re an elder, there are some things that I can’t say directly. However, don’t do

the crime if you can’t do the time. If you do anything out of line to my husband, I believe you’ll live to regret it!”

After Wynn finished speaking, she walked out of the private room directly. She had already made up her mind that she would spend the rest

of her life going up against the Hane family!

In the private room, Klein sat in the main seat, looking at the night view outside the window. He was feeling a bit worried. For an inexplicable

reason, he felt that his decision tonight was too hasty.

However, he was running out of time.

Klein let out a sigh of relief when everyone in the private room had left.

Wynn was very intense.

However, Klein Hane would not fear anyone!

After all, he was a member of the Hane family of Capital City!

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Klein took a sip of the red wine. At this moment, the door of the

room was also pushed open from the outside.

A man with a sullen face walked in. Dressed in a black leather jacket, the aura he exuded was very

cold.

As soon as he entered the door, he sat down and started eating the food on the table.

Klein looked at the man with a smile and said, “Why? Are you done?”

The man took a few mouthfuls, nodded, and said, “How is it?”

Klein sat down, poured him a glass of red wine, and said, “He has been taken away. I hope you can

take care of the rest.”

The newcomer was none other than Baloo!

He wiped his mouth silently, took a sip of red wine, and got up before saying, “I’m off.”

“Wait a minute.”

Klein called out to Baloo, took out a bank card, and put it on the table. He said, “Ten million. I hope

you’ll accept it.”

Baloo glanced at the card, then at Klein’s smiley face. He sneered, took the card, and put it into his

pocket. Then, he waved his hand and said, “I’m off.”

After Baloo left, Klein stood alone in front of the large French window, watching the night outside. He

was thinking of Philip's words in his mind. ‘The Hane family isn’t far away from total destruction.’

Klein was highly unsettled, but he gradually made up his mind!

The incident this time was not led by Klein alone, but there was another person behind him.

It was mutual cooperation.

Who on earth was Philip Clarke to attract their attention?

By getting rid of Philip with the help of the Hane family, they would get half of the resources of the

underground chamber of commerce this time.

Klein had thought for a long time before he finally agreed.

This was an opportunity for the Hane family.

At the same time, Philip was taken to a remote place by Chip.

The interior of the room was cold with white walls and there was a big screen made of black glass.

Philip knew that there had to be people standing behind this glass. They could see him but he could not

see them.

Philip sat behind a long table with his hands cuffed. He did not seem nervous at all. He looked at the

new environment, occasionally showing a faint smile.

The door was pushed open and Chip walked in with two other men. As soon as they entered, Chip

slammed the table and said angrily, “You still dare to smile? I really don’t know where you got the gall to

do that. Once someone enters this room, nine out of ten people will be carried out in a body bag!”

Chip was a senior member of the Hane family. After seven or eight years of doing this sort of thing, he

had more than enough methods to make Philip beg for mercy.

Philip smiled with a trace of contempt and said, “Just do what you need to. You’re the ones who

brought me here. You can say whatever you want to.”

“What sort of attitude is that?”

Chip slapped the table again. He had to take care of Philip properly today to pave the way smoothly for

the follow-up work. Only with a proper confession could he send Philip in successfully!

Philip looked at Chip with a trace of amusement. He raised his hands silently and the latter’s eyes were

fixed on the shiny handcuffs around his hands.

“Chip Norton, I really pity you. You still don’t know who you have offended,” Philip said meaningfully.

“Haha, you’re really impudent! But do you know where this is? This is the Hane family’s territory! Not

your home! Make a proper confession and maybe you can avoid some pain and suffering!”

Chip was getting angry. Philip refused to cooperate. It seemed that he had to work overtime again

tonight.

“I have nothing to say. The Hane family is confining people for no good reason. You are really bold. I

wonder who gave you the rights to do so,” Philip said indifferently.

“Hehe, what’s the point of saying this now? Now that you’re in my hands and this place is full of my

people, getting you to talk is a piece of cake. Of course, it’ll be better for you if you don’t force me to do

it. We’re not bloodthirsty people after all,” Chip said impatiently. He did not want to waste time talking to

Philip.

However, in the next second, his eyes widened as he inhaled in shock.

Philip raised his hands and clenched his fists. Immediately, he saw the handcuffs changing shape right

in front of his eyes!

In just a few seconds, Philip had broken the pair of shiny silver locks!

Chip was so shocked that he took a few steps back.

Was this the strength a human could possess?

After breaking the handcuffs, Philip sneered faintly and flexed his wrists. Looking at the three

dumbfounded people in front of him, he said, “Do you know what happened to Chuck back then?”

Chip was stunned, his back already drenched in a cold sweat. Of course he knew about how his

brother had gotten beaten up so badly that he ended up a vegetable. He was still lying in the hospital

right now!

He was the most powerful external affair steward of the Hane family back then!

However, no matter how Chip tried asking him about it, Chuck just refused to reveal the specific

circumstances of his injury back then!

That was not the most important point. The most grievous thing was, not long after that incident, Chuck

was removed from the core of the Hane family!

Whenever he visited his brother in the hospital, his brother’s eyes were full of horror when this incident

was mentioned!

Why did this kid in front of him suddenly ask this question?

Did he know the real reason behind that incident? Or could it be…

No, impossible!

When Chip was figuring out the possibilities, Philip just grinned at him broadly. The dazzling shackles

were already destroyed!

Chip could not help shuddering as his eyelids jumped wildly!

Only then did he realize that he was caught in a trap!

This was not just a simple detainment. The other reasons involved behind this were beyond his

imagination!

When he saw that Philip was about to stand up, Chip quickly drew a gun from his belt and pointed it at

Philip who was standing slowly. He roared, yelling, “What are you doing? Put your hands behind your

head and squat down! On your knees!”

Chip pulled off the safety catch of the gun.

Philip shrugged as he stopped his movements and said, “Why are you so agitated? Don’t be alarmed. I

can’t do anything to you. This is the Hane family’s territory, right? No matter what, you’re a steward of

the Hane family, so how could you be so scared? However, I can give you a piece of advice. If you

insist on being so stubborn, you might end up like Chuck.”

It was really him!

Hearing this, Chip’s eyes burst in flames. “Who the hell are you?”

“Don’t look at me that way. Chuck knows who I am and even the patriarch of the Hane family knows

too. You’re the only one being kept in the dark. So pathetic.”

Philip clenched his fists and said with a smile, “Do you know why the Hane family dare not mention a

word about the incident that happened eight years ago? Let me tell you, in this world, only ‘this’ is the

law. Everything else is but a burden.”

When he said that, Philip squeezed his fists, and the meaning was pretty obvious.

“Who are you? What’s your identity?”

Chip was not an idiot. He still held a gun in his hand, and his two subordinates were also standing next

to him, prepared to draw their guns.

Chip only knew that his brother had accepted a task from the Hane family on that day, and when he

returned, he was already maimed.

Chuck did not mention a word regarding this incident since then, and his silence had lasted for eight

years!

Something must have happened. Otherwise, according to the Hane family’s temperament, there was

no way they would not retaliate after the martial arts center was destroyed!

“Are you asking about my identity?”

Philip crossed his arms, pinched his chin, and said, “You’re putting me in a tight spot. I’m afraid that if I

tell you, the entire Hane family will kneel and beg me for mercy.”

Chip frowned. Even though he was holding a gun in his hand, he could clearly tell that the man in front

of him was unafraid at all. It was actually him who was in a disadvantageous position.

What trump card was he holding in his hand?

Chip was not a fool. Philip’s nonchalant attitude was enough to indicate some problems!

This man could not be provoked. Otherwise, he would end up just like Chuck!

However, he had already offended him!

Under tremendous pressure, people would be prone to wild imagination, just as Chip was facing now!

Philip looked at the flustered Chip, the smile on his face still as bright as summer. In Chip’s eyes,

however, that smile was terrifying!

“I’d advise you to not make any judgments before making sure of the situation, or you’ll get yourself into

trouble. Just like the Hane family, acting all high and mighty like this. They’re really not afraid of death,”

Philip said indifferently.

“Boy, don’t try to scare me. The Hane family is not as wretched as you say!” Chip scorned.

“Perhaps in your eyes, the Hane family is very impressive and unattainable.” Philip continued calmly, “But in my eyes, they’re nothing but

insects.”

Chip was completely flabbergasted by Philip’s intensity now. He had been led by Philip unknowingly.

However, Philip was clearly in his territory now, and the other party was also surrounded by so many people, so why did he feel such

imposing pressure from him instead?

Not long ago, Chip was still full of confidence since he was used to doing such things. However, when he learned that the man in front of him

was the man who severely wounded his brother, he felt that it was inconceivable.

He had provoked someone he could not afford to provoke. This was a deadlock!

“Were you the one who injured Chuck?”

Chip frowned as he looked at Philip. He still found it difficult to believe, and his mind was constantly analyzing the pros and cons of the

current situation.

In a situation like this, he needed to make a choice as soon as possible. Otherwise, he might spend the rest of his life making up for it.

That did not mean that Chip was a coward, but just as Philip said, some people could not be provoked while some things needed to be

considered.

“You don’t look that stupid, so there’s no reason for me to hide it. Yes, I did it.” Philip grinned as he said that, but the three were horrified at

the sight of that smile.

There was uncertainty on Chip’s face. He slowly put his gun away as a confused expression appeared on his face. After quite some time, he

said, “I acted too hastily on this matter. You can leave.”

“Are you asking me to leave? Did I hear it correctly?” Philip mocked as he looked at Chip.

“Yes. Get lost before I change my mind!” Chip said quickly. Raising his head, he came into contact with Philip’s teasing eyes. He shuddered

violently as an unpleasant feeling arose spontaneously!

Oh no, something bad was going to happen!

“Is this how the Hane family operates? Arresting people at will and releasing them when you feel like it?”

Philip wore a taunting smile on his face. Yes, it was full of irony!

When his gaze fell on Chip, it was as if he was looking at a fool!

Chip was full of panic at the moment.

That was the only thought in Chip’s mind.

“It’s not that I’m complaining, but you just brought me in here. We haven’t even discussed this properly but you’re already letting me go. I feel

very unwanted.”

Chip was stunned at Philip’s words. He did not expect that the other party would say this, and it seemed that he had made up his mind not to

leave!

What the hell was he trying to do?!

In Moonlight Restaurant’s private room earlier, this guy was very reluctant to come with them. Now that he was released, he was reluctant to

leave. Did he have a loose screw in his head?

Guessing that Philip’s identity was special, Chip dared not talk back to him so directly.

“Why aren’t you leaving? Do you want to stay here? You’ll only get one chance. Once I change my mind, you won’t be able to leave even if

you want to. The Hane family is not as simple as you think!”

Chip was getting anxious.

“The Hane family?”

Philip scoffed disdainfully. “Do you think I’m concerned about the Hane family at all? When I destroyed the martial arts hall back then, no one

in the Hane family dared to do anything to me. Do you think you or Klein can do anything to me now?”

Philip raised his hands, the broken shackles screaming sarcasm in their faces.

When Chip saw the shiny handcuffs at this moment, he only felt something blooming in his eyes.

“I’ve said it before. I hope you won’t regret it. Now that you want to let me go, it’s already too late.”

Philip leaned back, folded his arms, and looked at Chip while saying nonchalantly, “I’m doing this just to tell you that you’re nothing but ants

in my eyes. You’re nothing to fear. There’s only one thing I want to know. Who’s the mastermind behind all this?

“Don’t be nervous. I know Klein is not working alone. There must be someone else.”

Philip looked at the panicking Chip and asked, “Tell me who is behind this. Tell me and I’ll consider letting you go.”

“You… What do you mean by that?”

Chip suddenly realized that he was at a complete disadvantage.

The current situation was very unfavorable for him. Even though he was in his own territory now and he had a gun in his hand, the man in

front of him had no fear at all. It was Chip who was flustered instead.

“I think you should be very clear about what I mean. Since you’re doing this, you must be aware of the consequences. There’s nothing to be

surprised about.”

Philip stared at Chip and said, “I’m only afraid you’ll follow in your brother’s footsteps.”

Chip was so scared that he collapsed into the chair. He wanted to run out now, but his knees were trembling so badly that he could not even

stand up!

However, to Chip’s surprise, Philip did not continue to exert pressure. Instead, he sat there and sneered, “If you refuse to say anything, then

let’s just sit here.”

Chip asked hesitantly, “You… What do you want exactly? Isn’t it enough to let you go?”

Philip smiled and said, “Simple. I want to lure out the person behind you. To tell you the truth, I’m waiting for someone now.”

“Waiting for someone?” Chip repeated subconsciously.

Philip did not answer his question but raised his eyebrows, looking at the large black glass.

He knew that the mastermind could be standing behind the glass. He wanted to give the other person a warning. If the other person was still

unrepentant, he would not mind overturning this place.

Juan was sitting in his office drinking tea at the moment. It was getting late but he had not left his office yet.

Looking at the watch on his wrist, he estimated that things were almost done. He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

“Hello, Mr. Hane, this is Juan Parker.”

After introducing himself, Juan smiled and took a sip of tea.

“Mr. Parker, I really appreciate your help today.”
