Chapter 1665

Bernard was stunned. He did not expect the other party to be so angry and hurriedly asked, “Master

Eight, what do you mean by that?”

Master Eight said angrily, “Bernard, the person you told me to take care of is someone I can’t afford to

mess with! You’re pushing me into the fire! I’m telling you, the two of us have never spoken on the

phone! Even if something happens to you, don’t ever reveal my name! Otherwise, I’ll kill you!”

Click!

The call ended.

Bernard was confused!

A person Master Eight could not afford to mess with? He was second only to the three lords of

Uppercreek. He had both people and influence.

Such a person just said he could not afford to mess with Philip Clarke?

He must be joking!

Did Philip have any connections in Uppercreek?

Bernard’s face darkened as Liam quickly asked from the side, “Uncle Bernard, what’s wrong? What did

Master Eight say?”

Liam was full of excitement and anticipation at this moment. He had heard of Master Eight’s fame. He

was the kingpin second only to the three lords of Uppercreek. He had many underlings and was very

powerful on the streets!

If such a person made a move, that stinking Philip would be dead for sure!

However, the next second, Bernard said, “Something went wrong. Master Eight said he can’t afford to

mess with Philip and broke off all contact with me.”

“What? Uncle Bernard, you must be joking, right? I’ve made some inquiries before. In Uppercreek,

other than the three lords, the next person in line is Brad Weiss, also known as Master Eight! Even he

can’t afford to mess with Philip? Uncle Bernard, what exactly is going on here? Isn’t Philip already

bankrupt? Why does he still have such a large network in Uppercreek?”

Liam panicked and became more nervous. If Philip was not taught a lesson, Liam would be very upset!

Bernard’s expression was also very unpleasant. He frowned and thought for a while before saying,

“Philip seems to be more complicated than we expected. He must have been hiding his true colors this

whole time. Liam, go and find out more about Philip’s past involvements in Uppercreek and see if you

can discover anything.”

Liam nodded and said, “Sure, Uncle Bernard. Should I make an appointment with Hoyt Luther now?”

Bernard nodded and said, “Yes, make an appointment with him right away. I’ll personally go and meet

him.”

Liam dialed Hoyt’s number and said with a flattering tone, “Director Luther, it’s me, Liam Johnston. My

third uncle is here in Uppercreek and we’ve specially booked a private room in the Imperial Court. We

hope tO see you tonight.”

On the other end of the phone, Hoyt was accompanying Philip to inspect the conditions of the

Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce. At this moment, he turned to Philip and said, “Young Master

Clarke, Liam Johnston’s third uncle is here in Uppercreek and is inviting me to dinner. I’m afraid it’s still

regarding the cooperation. Should I go?”

Philip put his hands in his trouser pockets, stood in front of the large French window, and took a sip of

the warm tea in his hands. He said, “Go ahead and see what Bernard Johnston and the others have in

mind.”

Hoyt nodded.

In the evening, Hoyt arrived at the Imperial Court as per the appointment time. As soon as he entered

the private room, he saw Bernard and the others already waiting for him. Bernard quickly got up,

stretched out his hands, and greeted him with a flattering smile. “Director Luther, you’re finally here. I’m

Bernard Johnston, the deputy chairman of Martin Pharmaceutical. It’s an honor to meet yo u. Please

have a seat.”

Hoyt smiled and sat down with Bernard and the others.

Liam sat on the side and said with a smile on his face, “Director Luther, this is my third uncle who

personally came from Riverdale just for the cooperation between us. He’s very sincere about this.”

Hoyt smiled and said, “Haha, Mr. Johnston, you’re too enthusiastic. It’s very difficult to resist.”

Bernard raised his hand and signaled to the waiter to serve the food and wine.
