Chapter 1786
The First Heir
Jowin followed him. Before he left, he turned and said to Milo, âMilo, I have to give you a piece of
advice. Donât think of fighting against Young Master Clarke. Youâll die without a burial place.â
Looking at the backs of Jowin and Philip as they left, the brothers, Milo and Homer, exchanged glances
with fierce cold intent flickering in their eyes.
Suddenly, Milo spoke, âThis guy has some tricks up his sleeve.â
Homer nodded.
Philipâs attack was like a sudden storm that sent punch after punch. Last night should have been a test
while this morning was the killing move. Just now, he threw a few more punches and caught the two
brothers off guard.
This kid was too villainous. In just one day, he had taken down more than 20 enterprises in Flower City
and bought over four out of the six underground lords.
Milo had no choice but to pay serious attention to this man of such strength and means.
After thinking about it, Homer said, âMilo, I think that Philip Clarke isnât as weak as he seems on the
surface. He might really have some means and power. That Mr. Thomas mentioned by Jowin just now
sounds familiar to me.â
âFamiliar?â Miloâs eyes tensed followed by a look of surprise. âYou meanâ¦?â
Homer looked at Milo and said with a nod, âThatâs right, itâs probably the new richest man in the
Penhart region, George Thomas. If heâs really Philipâs backer, we might not be strong enough to deal
with Philip. If necessary, you might need to contact someone from the main family to take action.â
Miloâs face darkened, and his mind was full of thoughts.
âGeorge Thomas?â
That would indeed be very tricky.
âDonât panic, itâs not time yet,â Milo said with a chill in his eyes before adding, âIf thatâs the case, we can
onlyâ¦â
He raised his hand and made a swiping motion across his neck.
Homer did not display any surprise at this but nodded and said, âWe can do that. This is Flower City.
Whatever happens, we can suppress it.â
As he said that, he seemed to have thought of something and said, âIâve already arranged for Ernie to
go to Uppercreek. Iâll ask him how things went.â
After that, Homer picked up the phone and dialed Ernieâs number but no one answered for a long time.
This caused a sense of foreboding to well up in Homerâs heart. He turned to Milo with a frown and said,
âNo one answered.â
Milo put his hands behind his back, his eyes growing tense. He said, âNo need to call anymore. Ernie
must have failed.â
Hearing that, Homerâs face darkened. Although he did not want to accept this fact, he knew that it was
likely Ernie had failed the mission judging from the current situation.
Milo thought about it and said, âIt seems that Uppercreek is a tough nut to crack. We may not be able
to touch his family there. We can only set our eyes on Flower City.â
After saying that, Milo took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
âMaster Milo, youâre early today. What can I do for you?â There was a hearty voice on the other end of
the phone.
If the locals of Flower City heard this voice, they would immediately scream in excitement. He was the
most belligerent of the six lords of Flower City, Fred Able, nicknamed Fat Dragon King!
Milo said directly, âFred, I need you to do something.â
