Chapter 2172

“What do you mean?” Philip asked. “Why am I my mother’s heir?”

Seth smiled and said, “It’s nothing. Let’s get back to the point. I want to ask you to help me take control

of District 12. As long as you help me, when the time comes, we can cooperate from both inside and

outside. District 12 will become a stronghold of the Clarke family. What do you think?”

Philip sullenly looked at Seth’s smiling face and said, “How confident are you to deal with Tucker

Stone?”

Seth raised five fingers and said, “ 50-50.”

Philip frowned and said, “Are you taking a gamble?”

Seth smiled and said, “Many times, it’s a gamble in many things. As long as I put the right stakes, I win.

If I lose, I also have a way to deal with it. How about it, Eldest Young Master of the main Clarke family?

You aren’t afraid, are you?”

Philip raised his eyebrows and said with a sneer, “Seth Larson, this is not in line with your personality.

You shouldn’t be someone who likes to use goading tactics.”

Seth laughed and said, “Philip, this is interesting. What kind of person do you think I am?”

Philip smiled and said, “You’re a person who trusts no one. In your eyes, everyone, including me, can

be pawns you use to pave the way for yourself. I have to remind you that if you make use of the Clarke

family’s power, you can never escape again.”

The smile on Seth’s face slowly froze. He looked at Philip very seriously and said, “I must get rid of

Tucker Stone!”

Philip nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll trust you this once. I hope you won‘t disappoint me.”

After that, Philip turned around and left with the Necrons.

Seth stood in the private room, and a sneer slowly surfaced on his cold face before he turned solemn.

He turned around and watched as Philip got into the car downstairs before he said to Steven behind

him, “Send him to the checkpoint and withdraw. I want to see how much strength he has to help me.”

Steven was taken aback and asked doubtfully, “District Master, are you going to let Tucker snipe

Philip?”

Seth said sternly, “He can only be helpful to me if he survives. If he can’t even pass a hurdle like Tucker

Stone, that means I misjudged him.”

Then, Seth turned to Steven and said, “Tell our people at the checkpoint to withdraw. No matter what

happens, don’t show up.”

Steven nodded in response and watched as Seth left. He quickly notified his men at the checkpoint by

a satellite phone.

Soon, all soldiers at the checkpoint belonging to Seth withdrew.

Philip’s convoy headed straight to the checkpoint and suddenly stopped about a hundred meters from

the exit. The Necron sitting in the co-passenger seat looked at the soldiers who had quickly gathered at

the exit a hundred meters away. He said coldly, “Turn back! Find another route to head out!”

After that, the driver pulled back the rifle bolt and got ready for battle. The Necrons on either side of

Philip in the backseat also immediately went into a highly tense combat stance.

At the same time, the car’s artificial intelligence system was activated. An electronically synthesized

female voice said, “The system is computing the departure route. The system has completed the

computation!”
