The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 886

Klein sneered inwardly, but on the surface, he made a lot of effort for his performance that was full of

excitement.

In fact, he was taking advantage of the situation to say this to Vivi.

In other words, he was saying that he represented the Hane family while Vivi was not qualified to talk

here.

Of course, he dared not say this openly.

“Shut up!”

This time, Klein was being shouted at!

However, it was not Mack, or Hardy, nor Vivi who shouted at him, but Deaton instead!

Getting shouted at in public, Klein’s dignity suffered a blow as his expression collapsed immediately.

He never expected that at such a time, Deaton would actually yell at him and make him lose face!

No matter what, he was still the third master of the Hane family. Even if Deaton was powerful, he was

just one person with an agency under his name.

He did not have a family as his backing!

After Deaton was done shouting, he looked at Klein and said in a low voice, “Stop your blathering and

quickly bring Miss Joo inside!”

In fact, Klein also felt very useless. He was the dignified third master of the Hane family, but in front of

Vivi Joo, a young woman who was only in her 20s, he was just like a little chick. It made him very

angry!

He knew that the other party's identity was special, but it was precisely because of this that Klein felt

inferior. He had slogged so hard all his life but was still no match for this person’s background!

Deaton’s expression was very unpleasant at this moment too. He did not wish to intervene in this

matter, but Vivi was the third young miss of the Joo family, so he could only cooperate fully.

Besides, they actually captured Philip.

He could only hope that nothing untoward would happen.

Seeing Klein still standing there, Deaton could not take it any longer and growled. “Klein Hane! Are you

pretending to be deaf or actually senile? Did you hear what I just said? I’ll repeat this. This is Riverdale,

not your Hane family’s territory! Lead the way!”

Klein lost it completely this time!

However, he still held back because he could not go too far. He would not be able to afford offending

Deaton on top of offending Vivi.

Klein did not listen to Deaton obediently but said tentatively instead, “Mr. Wade, it’s my nephew who

was seriously beaten this time.”

Vivi glanced at them with her flickering cold eyes and said, “It’s been three minutes. Klein Hane, are

you trying to waste my time? As I said, I want to see Philip right now. If you continue wasting time like

this, the Hane family will bear all the consequences!”

Deaton’s heart trembled at that. Miss Joo was getting upset. He quickly shouted at Klein, “Klein Hane, I

don’t care who got beaten. Hurry up and lead the way. Don’t cause any more trouble. Otherwise, even

the Hane family can’t bear the anger of the Joo family!”

“How much of a big deal could it be?”

Klein knew there was no point in procrastinating any longer, so he complained under his breath and led

the way sullenly.

Since Deaton had already said so, if he said anything more, it would appear that he was deliberately

delaying them.

Indoors, Philip was sitting leisurely with no hints of anxiousness at all.

However, Baloo’s expression was extremely ugly at the moment. He looked very nervous and his legs

were trembling slightly. Beads of sweat were rolling off his forehead.

Philip raised his head and said to Baloo tauntingly, “Is there anything else I need to say?”

Baloo frowned. He just found out something extraordinary from Philip’s mouth. This matter alone was

enough to petrify him!

Chapter 887

He never expected that Philip would know Old Master Joo!

Baloo's heart had already sunk to the bottom of the sea. If not for his many years of social experience

that he could still control himself, he might have run away with his tail tucked between his legs long

ago!

It was also at this time that Baloo heard the sounds of rushing footsteps!

The footsteps were very rapid, both light and heavy. It seemed that many people were heading this

way!

Philip also heard the footsteps and the corners of his mouth curled up. Baloo shuddered at the sight.

However, Baloo also knew the people outside. With Klein around, there should be no problem.

It seemed likely that Klein was unable to withstand the pressure from Mack.

Nonetheless, time was almost up.

Baloo pondered his options. He had already asked all that should be asked.

His only worry now was that Philip knew Old Master Joo, which would make things a bit difficult for him.

In just a moment, however, Baloo had already made a decision.

He got up slowly, his face looking cold. The panic in his eyes had disappeared and was replaced by a

heavy feeling. He said, “Philip, get ready. You’ll be taken to the Hane family in Capital City in a while.”

“So anxious?”

Philip sneered, “You’ve just finished interrogating me and you want to send me away already? Are you

worried about the people outside?”

Klein led the way in front while Vivi followed closely behind. The footsteps of this group of people

seemed particularly loud in the empty corridor this late at night!

Through the glass wall, Klein saw Baloo who was standing. He felt relieved. It seemed that their

objective tonight was reached!

Vivi naturally saw Philip too and noticed the sneer at the corner of the guy's mouth. Tonight was likely

to be chaotic.

Klein opened the door, wiped away his triumphant expression, and said calmly, “The person you are

looking for is inside.”

Klein winked at Baloo.

Baloo naturally saw Deaton standing behind Klein, a woman who looked like a fairy, as well as Mack

and his men.

What was more interesting, based on the standing positions of Deaton and Mack, the woman seemed

to be in the lead.

Baloo was bewildered. Who was that woman?

During Baloo’s hesitation, Vivi, Deaton, and the others had already entered the room. They could see

everything clearly.

Vivi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Philip sitting there safely.

Philip sat there smiling and relaxed as if he was not here for questioning but on vacation.

Vivi observed for a while before her gaze collided with Philip, and she instantly understood the

coldness hidden in the other's eyes. This guy was not as calm as it seemed.

However, in the next second, the expression on her face became solemn!

It was as if the gentle breeze in spring had turned into the frosty wind in winter. Vivi's face completely

collapsed!

In just a few seconds, her eyes were filled with shock, and this shock also carried infinite anger!

Vivi clearly saw the shiny silver cuffs on Philip's wrists, the silver light stinging her eyes!

Hardy and Roy instantly felt a chill from her and they became extremely serious!

Vivi suppressed the anger in her heart as her eyes flickered with coldness. She turned to look at Klein

and asked, “Who put the cuffs on him?”

Klein shuddered. Including Baloo, they all looked at each other with a dazed expression.

The Hane family could cuff whoever they wanted.

“I’ll ask again. Who put the cuffs on him?” With anger flowing through her eyes, Vivi looked at Klein and

Baloo as she enunciated every word.

“Miss Joo, this is the private residence of the Hane family. We have every right to put handcuffs on him.

It’s not too appropriate for you to act so aggressively here.”

Klein had endured it all night. Being repeatedly dismissed by the opponent, he was naturally very

upset.

“The private residence of the Hane family?”

Vivi frowned, staring sharply at Klein before asking, “The Hane family is very snooty indeed. Even the

Joo family has to treat you Hanes as distinguished guests, it seems!”

Distinguished guests?

Klein took half a step back. Vivi’s eyes were too terrifying.

Not only her, but Mack and the rest behind her also became serious. Klein felt highly oppressed under

the pressure!

“Miss Joo, this is the private matter of the Hane family. We have ample evidence, and Philip should

have confessed everything just now.”

Klein could see that the purpose of the third young lady of the Joo family was very simple—to rescue

Philip.

However, he refused to give up just like that, so he gritted his teeth and said, “Mr. Wade, I think Baloo

should have gathered all the information. The evidence of Philip’s crime is solid, so there’s no reason to

delay this any longer. I’ll send him to the Hane family and let this be handled in the Capital City.”

“Handle your *ss!”

Klein was just about to continue his threats when Hardy rushed out and grabbed his lapels. He directly

lifted Klein with both hands and pressed him against the wall!

“B*stard! What are you doing! This is the private residence of the Hane family. I’m Klein Hane. This is

not your Joo family!” Klein roared angrily!

He could not fight against Vivi, but that did not mean he was afraid of Hardy.

The other party was pressing him against the wall by the collar of his shirt. His chest became stuffy and

he almost could not breathe properly!

Klein Hane had lost all dignity by now!

Chapter 888

The few of them had had verbal disagreements right from the start and none of them took it seriously

before, but once a person made a physical move against the other party, then the nature of the conflict

would change!

When Hardy saw that the other party actually dared to talk back to Third Young Miss, he naturally

disregarded his status and directly pressed the dignified Third Master Hane on the wall. If word spread

out, the Hane family would completely lose face!

As the president of the bodyguard agency in Riverdale, Deaton’s expression also became awkward at

the moment!

This turn of events was totally beyond his control. The other party was the third young miss of the Joo

family, after all. He could not provoke nor dared to provoke her!

Furthermore, Philip Clarke was also sitting across them!

That was the big shot one had to be aware of!

Philip acted like nothing had happened. He sat there quietly, shaking his propped leg with his arms

folded across his chest as if he was waiting for the drama to unfold.

“Miss Joo, please ask your men to let him go. We should have a calm discussion.”

Deaton acted as the peacemaker.

However, Vivi ignored him and turned her gaze to Baloo instead.

Hardy grabbed Klein’s clothes and roared. “My third lady asked you a question! Answer her honestly! I

order you to apologize to her or I’ll kill you!”

Kill him?!

This statement was too audacious!

Seeing all of his subordinates standing aside and watching them silently made Klein very upset and

angry!

Were the members of the Hane family so useless?

He tried to struggle, but the opponent was too strong and he could not break free at all. Those two

hands were like iron tongs, clutching at the lapels of his clothes and rendering him breathless!

This was the private estate of the Hane family, his own territory, but an outsider dared to do this to him

right here!

This was blatant contempt toward the Hane family!

A flush appeared on Klein’s face as his chest burned with anger!

“I repeat, apologize to my lady! Also, unlock the cuffs on Mr. Clarke! Do it personally!”

Hardy’s eyes were full of killing intent.

Klein roared. “You’re too arrogant! This is my territory, not your Joo family’s compound! Do you have

any respect for the Hane family?”

“Hehe.” Hardy sneered, “As I mentioned, if you don’t apologize, I’ll kill you!”

Having said that, Hardy pulled out a gun directly from his waist and slammed it against Klein’s

forehead!

This was the private property of the Hane family, but someone actually dared to draw a weapon and

point it directly at Third Master Hane!

This was nothing short of the world’s biggest joke!

It was inconceivable!

Upon seeing this, Deaton became anxious. He said to Vivi, “Miss Joo, aren’t you going to step in? After

all, this is the Hane family’s territory, not the Joo family’s.”

Both belonged to big families. If a conflict happened here, it would be difficult for him to clean the mess

up.

Vivi glanced at Deaton and said coldly, “Step in? I wish he’d shoot him right now! Even if he hadn’t

drawn his weapon, this man’s outcome won’t be much better either!”

After that, Vivi turned to Philip and asked with a frown, “What are you going to do?”

She did not ask if Philip was alright, but instead, she asked him what he planned to do.

In other words, Vivi was not worried if anything would happen to Philip right from the beginning but was

worried about how the other party would counterattack.

Right now, Klein’s face was burning hot!

Why was Vivi defending Philip so much?

Could it be…

“Who the hell are you?!” Klein roared at Philip.

Philip chuckled and said with a shrug, “Me? It’s very simple. My last name is Clarke. How many Clarke

families are there in this world?”

Chapter 889

Clarke family?

Which Clarke family?

Klein was dumbfounded. He frowned as clouds of suspicion flashed across his face.

That Clarke family?

No, impossible!

He had made thorough investigations about this person. He was nothing but a good-for-nothing son-in-

law!

How could he be related to that Clarke family?

No way!

“Hehe, Philip Clarke, are you trying to bluff me? I’m Klein Hane!” Klein roared.

Smack!

As a result, Vivi slapped him across the face!

Instantly, the crisp slap resounded throughout the room.

Klein was stunned as he stared at Vivi blankly with eyes full of anger!

“Unacceptable! How dare you hit me? Miss Joo, even if you’re the third young lady of the Joo family,

this is my private property. You’re disregarding the entire Hane family by doing this. I can bring this up

to Old Master Joo!”

Klein looked furious.

It was disgraceful to be slapped by a junior!

“Hehe, you can try,” Vivi replied coldly, completely disregarding Klein.

“I think there’s no need for the Hane family to exist any longer.” It was also at this time that Philip, who

had been sitting quietly throughout, suddenly spoke in a cold voice. Yet, his face was full of smiles.

This smile could make one’s heart tremble!

“I think so too. If you want to deal with the Hane family, I can help you.”

Vivi smiled at Philip with a hint of flattery.

“You! You!”

Klein scorned. “Such arrogance! Although the Joo family is very influential and has a say in many

things, if the Hane family pursues this matter, the Joo family won’t have it easy as well. I hope you’ll

think twice, Miss Joo.”

Klein could not help it. It was the first time he encountered such a situation.

He did not want to provoke a behemoth like the Joo family but he also had no other choice.

Chip Norton stood at the doorway, already out of breath.

He had never seen such a scene before. The third young miss of the Joo family came here just for

Philip?

The point was, Klein was still being pressed against the wall by the opponent with a gun held to his

head. This was an unprecedented event!

The members of the Joo family were too intense!

Was it possible that they dared to kill the third master of the Hane family here?

Were they not afraid of being wanted by the Hane family?

This was no longer a private affair of Klein Hane. It had escalated into a battle between the Hane and

Joo families!

Chip could hardly withstand it. This was simply ridiculous!

Philip was somehow the catalyst to spark the battle between two major families in Capital City!

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

Chip was very flustered because he knew that the Hane family was not a match for the Joo family!

The Joo family was a giant!

Thinking of this, Chip looked at Philip who was just sitting there. This seemed to happen because of

him, but he was sitting there leisurely looking like he was watching a show.

This master was really laid-back.

Baloo was frowning. His eyes swept across Mack and his men before finally falling on Vivi’s face.

He did not expect the other party to be so aggressive. From Klein’s mouth, he found out that she was

actually the third young lady of the Joo family in Capital City!

Baloo was no ordinary person and had many dark dealings behind him, so he knew many things on

both sides.

Regarding a behemoth like the Joo family, he had heard of them a long time ago. They were an

overwhelming existence!

At this moment, however, it was precisely this sort of existence that would go head-on with the Hane

family in order to protect Philip—almost to the point of drawing a gun and killing someone!

Baloo was filled with uncertainty and even regret!

He suddenly thought of the things that happened before. For someone who knew Theo Zander and

who the boss was cautious around, how could this man have an ordinary background?

Now, even the dignified third lady of the Joo family came to his defense, ordering a special class

bodyguard to draw a gun at the third master of the Hane family. What did all of this mean?

The answer was obvious and nothing short of terrifying!

Chapter 890

Looking at Philip's young and immature face, Baloo suddenly felt his heart twitching violently!

This guy was no ordinary person. Their previous investigations were wrong!

He had to be the young master of an affluent family in Capital City with an identity that countless

people could not even imagine!

Juan Parker had gotten him into deep sh*t!

No wonder the boss kept emphasizing that he could not alert the enemy!

Baloo felt a little dizzy. He thought he had a chance of winning, but the tables were suddenly turned

against him!

“Klein Hane, I hope you think this over carefully and don’t do anything you’ll regret!”

Vivi’s eyes were cold while her tone was stern, making those who heard her tremble.

“Miss Joo, this area is under the Hane family’s jurisdiction. Your aggressive actions are simply too

unreasonable!”

Klein frowned deeply. He hoped to avoid making an enemy out of the Joo family if he could help it.

After that, he continued bitterly, “Regarding Philip’s matter, the Hane family still needs to conduct a

thorough investigation. If you wish to take him away, you need to ask for the Hane family’s permission!”

As soon as his voice fell, dozens of people from the Hane family rushed out of the household and

surrounded them!

They were elites of the Hane family with a strong martial arts background.

As soon as they appeared, the whole atmosphere became extremely tense.

Vivi looked around at these people, the corners of her mouth curling up. She said disdainfully, “Take

him down.”

Klein’s eyes widened at her words. Before he understood what was going on, he felt the chill of the

gun!

That coldness made him shudder all over, and coupled with Mack’s steely gaze, Klein felt as if the

blood in his body had solidified!

Too audacious!

This was a blatant disregard toward the Hane family!

Mack said apologetically, “Third Master Hane, I’m sorry. Although you’re a member of the Hane family,

please believe me on this matter. No one should disobey our lady’s orders. I hope you make good

judgments because this matter is not as simple as you think.”

The muzzle was pointed directly at Klein’s forehead, making him shocked and frightened!

“Shoot me if you dare! I don’t believe that the Joo family would dare to do this to the Hane family! If I’m

alive, I’ll bring this up directly to Xander Joo!” Klein roared hysterically with his eyes red and tone

adamant.

Philip sighed. He could already predict what was going to happen next.

He could not understand it. For such a big family, how did the Hane family produce so many idiots?

Mack put the gun against Klein’s head and said, “Mr. Hane, you might be thinking that we’ll be

punished and even get sent to the military court if we continue with this, but you’re wrong. Everything is

more complicated than you think.”

Mack’s words revealed a lot of important information.

In other words, Philip's identity was very sensitive. Even if Klein’s life was sacrificed to save Philip,

nothing would happen to them!

Mack’s expression was serious, and it did not seem to be a bluff.

Initially, Klein still had a shred of hope, but at this moment, he was completely unsettled by Mack’s

words.

Philip was indeed not someone he could provoke!

“Klein Hane, you can call your oldest brother and see what he says,” Philip said quietly at this moment,

looking as if he had nothing to do with this.

Klein frowned. The other party seemed very confident.

“Okay! I want to find out exactly where you stand!”

Klein was so angry that he directly took out his phone and dialed his eldest brother’s number.

After a few beeps, the phone was connected. A deep and low voice sounded from the other end,

asking, “Klein, why are you calling me so late at night? Is there something wrong with the underground

chamber of commerce in Riverdale?”

“Brother, I caught a man named Philip Clarke who beat up Kenneth and Francis. However, he’s very

arrogant and says that even you must kneel in front of him to beg for his mercy.”

Klein sneered sinisterly at this moment as if waiting to watch Philip make a fool out of himself.

However, in the next second…
