Chapter 1493
The First Heir
Back to Philip. He returned to the hotel and found that Wynn had fallen asleep. Thus, he sat on the
sofa, took out the two phoenix feather pendants, and started studying them.
The fiery red phoenix feather pendants had obscure and incomprehensible patterns on them. From the
looks of it, they both really were just jade pendants. Nothing unusual could be seen from them.
What kind of existence was the door?
What role did the Nonagon play, and was his motherâs accident related to the Nonagon?
Philip was skeptical. Originally, he had targeted the former supreme, but now, it seemed that the stakes
were more complicated than he imagined!
Was there something deeper going on between the former supreme and the Nonagon?
Philip sat on the sofa and looked at the pendants for a while. Then, a gentle voice sounded behind him.
A tender hand pressed on his shoulder and the woman asked gently, âWhatâs wrong? What are you
thinking about?â
Philip touched the small hand on his shoulder, looked sideways at Wynn who was wearing a jacket,
and said, âNothing, I just have something on my mind. Why are you up?â
Wynn smiled and was pulled by Philip to sit next to him. She said, âSeeing you awake, I got worried
about you. Can you tell me what happened? Maybe I can help you think of some ideas.â
Philip held Wynnâs soft and small hand. Looking at her delicate face, he shook his head and said, âItâs
nothing. Donât worry, I can handle it.â
It was better not to tell Wynn about certain things, lest she worried.
Moreover, Philip was also unsure about the matter regarding the former supreme and the Nonagon. He
could not involve Wynn in it.
If Wynn got involved, he was afraid things would not end well.
Seeing that Philip did not want to say anything, Wynn did not continue asking.
The next day, Philip left the hotel early in the morning. Victor Bell had called him, saying that Kelsey
was looking for him at the hotel where Connor Clarke and the others were being detained.
Philip sneered inwardly. Kelsey was really capable to have found the hotel his family was being held in.
The branch Clarke family must have arranged ample manpower in Uppercreek.
It was obvious this news was obviously passed along by Connor, that old codger.
Soon, Philip arrived at the hotel. At the entrance of the hotel, he saw two groups of people confronting
each other.
This time, Kelsey had gone all out and brought a lot of people with him. They were all expert guards
from the Clarke family.
Victorâs side was not falling behind either. Half of his men in Uppercreek had come over, each one of
them looking serious. They had been waiting for Philip to arrive.
âYoung Master Clarke!â
From a distance, Victor saw Philip approaching and immediately greeted him with a respectful face.
âYoung Master Clarke, Iâm afraid it wonât end well this time. The other side has brought so many people
here. Iâve already transferred half of my people here. If I transfer more, Iâm afraid itâll cause
unnecessary trouble. Iâve also sent people to temporarily close the hotel.â
Philip nodded and stepped into the area from behind the crowd.
Victorâs people automatically made a pathway and shouted respectfully in unison, âYoung Master
Clarke!â
Philip raised his eyebrows, staring with displeasure at the arrogant and domineering Kelsey on the
opposite side. He asked, âArenât you leaving yet?â
Kelsey snorted coldly and raised his eyebrows, saying, âPhilip, donât try to scare me. Iâm here today for
one thing only. Hurry and let my family go. Or else, the guards from the branch family behind me will
barge in!â
Kelseyâs face was triumphant. He had been preparing for this day, so naturally, he would not be afraid
of Philip.
Yesterday was an unexpected defeat. He just had not expected Philip to be so strong handed and deal
with him head on.
Today, he specially transferred all the people arranged by the branch family in Uppercreek just to exert
pressure on Philip and force him to release his family.
As for yesterdayâs shameful incident, he dared not tell the branch family. Otherwise, he would be
disgraced.
Philip smiled coldly, glanced at the people behind Kelsey, and said, âWow, youâre well prepared this
time and brought so many people with you. Well done, Kelsey Clarke. This is much better than
yesterday.â
Upon hearing this, Kelsey clenched his fists bitterly!
