Chapter 1706
The First Heir
The person in front of him was none other than Fennel Leigh. This was the second time that Philip met
him. This guy always moved without a trace and was all over the world. He had too many secrets.
However, Philip would not ask him about those.
Fennel grinned and displayed his white teeth. With a flamboyant smile at the corner of his mouth, he
held up the wine glass, motioned to Philip, and said in a lazy, magnetic voice, âLong time no see.â
Philip raised his glass and the two toasted. He said, âItâs been a while.â
Then, Fennel gestured for the two hot girls to leave and poured another glass for Philip. He leaned
back, stared at the ceiling, and exhaled before saying, âItâs still better to be back in a metropolis at
home.â
Philip took a sip of wine. He cut to the chase and asked, âI want to know everything about the door.â
Fennel sat up straight and took out an object from his pocket-a black card.
Philip recognized it at a glance. It was the black card from the Nonagon, but this one was different from
the one Sheryl Larson had given Philip.
This card had a number on it.
âFrom the Nonagon?â Philip picked up the card and looked at it carefully.
Fennel drank his wine in one gulp, snapped his fingers, and said, âIt seems that you already know
something about it.â
After that, he got up. At a height of nearly 1.9 meters, he looked very tall and handsome. Coupled with
his face that could charm thousands of women and that unfathomable, cold, and unrestrained aura that
radiated from him, it was nearly impossible to look away from him.
He walked to the window on the side and took out a cigarette from his jacket dashingly while tossing
one to Philip. He lit his, exhaled puffs of smoke, and said, âIf you want to understand the door, you must
first understand the Nonagon. And if you want to understand the Nonagon, you must first enter the
Nonagon.â
Philip frowned and said, âWhatâs the difference between the door controlled by the Nonagon and the
door of the Clarke family?â
Fennel thought for a moment and replied, âIâm not sure about the Clarke familyâs door. Iâve never even
seen it. However, based on the information I have gathered over the past few years, that door of yours
is a little strange. Or rather, very special. Itâs not accessible to ordinary people. Even the disciples
cannot approach that door. It will auto select the candidate to enter the door, and the conditions are
very harsh one of which is that the person must be a member of the Clarke family and possess the
Clarke familyâs bloodline.â
Philip listened quietly and asked, âWhat about the door of the Nonagon?â
Fennel smiled, took out a fiery red object from his pocket, and flicked it with his finger to throw it into
the air.
Philip reached out, grabbed it mid-air, and spread out his palm. It was the phoenix feather key, the key
to the door of the Nonagon.
âItâs for you. Itâs useless to me anyway. I can be considered an outcast of the door,â Fennel smiled and
said with an indescribable look in his eyes.
Philip took a close look at the phoenix feather pendant in his palm and suddenly realized that this key
was different from the others he had seen.
Immediately, he took out the phoenix feather pendant that Sheryl had given him from his pocket. Upon
comparison, he found that the one from Fennel was exceptionally bright in color with the geometric
pattern of the Big Dipper on it. The fifth star that made up the constellation was the brightest.
Fennel glanced at it and said, âThe one in your hand is just an ordinary key, a token used by the
Nonagon to select candidates to enter the door once every few years. This type of key can only enter
the first zone behind the door.â
