Chapter 2123
The First Heir
Silas was stunned and looked at Philip incredulously. After a few seconds, he understood.
Glenford was about to undergo tremendous change.
He stared at his old father sitting on the sofa. Pearce nodded, got up, and said to Philip, âYoung Master
Clarke, the Gilson family will definitely not fail to meet your expectations. Weâll definitely take care of
everything in Glenford in an orderly manner.â
âSilas, why donât you kneel and thank Young Master Clarke for his kindness?â
Pearce shouted, and his voice seemed particularly vigorous at this moment.
Silas immediately knelt down, bowed three times, and shouted, âFrom now on, Silas Gilson of the
Gilson family will serve only Young Master Clarke! The Gilson family will always be Young Master
Clarkeâs pawn!â
Swoosh!
In an instant, the Gilson family members who were still standing in the living room all knelt down.
Philip was helpless. After a while, he left the Gilson family. Before he left, Pearceâs complexion looked
very good. He seemed to have suddenly gotten much better. As for Tanya, she stayed behind to take
care of the old man for the time being.
After Philip and Troy left Gilson Manor, Troy sent Philip back to Sparrow Villa.
When Philip returned to Sparrow Villa, he intended to go home directly, but Fulton seemed adamant
about him staying another day. He said that there were other arrangements.
Philip had no choice but to stay for the time being.
In the evening, Troy called. His tone was full of worry as he said, âYoung Master Clarke, are you free
now?â
Philip frowned and asked, âWhatâs up?â
Troy said, âYoung Master Clarke, I have a request and hope you can support it. Iâll send someone to
pick you up and weâll talk when we meet.â
Philip nodded. He had nothing to do anyway, so he said, âOkay.â
With Troyâs subordinate in the lead, Philip entered a private room on Troyâs turf.
Troy, who was rubbing his temples, hurriedly stood up. âYouâre finally here. You should look at this
invitation first â
Troy picked up the invitation on the table and handed it to Philip.
Philip took the invitation and looked at it. There was nothing much on the exquisite invitation, only the
title âOverlord Tournamentâ, as well as the time and place.
âWhat does it mean? Someone wants to fight you in a tournament?â
Philip threw the invitation on the table with a smile and sat down on the sofa languidly.
âThis is an invitation from the underworld leaders of the three cities. They organized this tournament to
redistribute the territory of Glenford through fighting. This time, I heard rumors that there are big figures
up there who want to get their hands on the territory of Glenford, and this tournament can be regarded
as a prelude.â
Troyâs face was all scrunched up, looking as if he was being bullied. He did not look at all domineering
at this moment.
âI have to attend this tournament Otherwise, Iâd only be admitting my cowardice. The loyalty of the men
under me will be shaken. Moreover, I must win the tournament. If I lose, the consequences are not
something I canât afford.â
If he won, everything would be fine. If he lost, Troyâs men would definitely have second thoughts and
many might even switch loyalties.
This was a life-and-death battle for Troy. He could only succeed and not fail. If he failed, everything
would be gone, even his life.
âSo what? Did you ask me to come over late at night to listen to your sob story?â Philip asked with a
smile.
âOf course not. Iâm here to ask you for help. I donât have any powerful experts under me so I want to
ask you to deploy a few experts to help me fight in the toumament. For example, you can just send any
two of those people you had with you during the day.â
Troy looked at Philip expectantly while feeling extremely tense. If Philip refused to help, Troy would
most likely not survive this disaster. Besides, Troy had witnessed the skills of those people by Philipâs
side during the day.
Just as Philip reached out for a cigarette, Troy wittily placed a cigarette in Philipâs hand and helped
Philip light it with a pure gold lighter.
After taking a drag, Philip said indifferently, âWho are the people from the three cities?â
âThere are several families but the leader is a member of the Hale family from the district capital by the
name of Willis Hale. He specializes in dealing with the unsightly affairs of the Hale family and is
notorious for his viciousness.â
Hearing the Hale family, Philip was startled.
