Chapter 2206

Rick had a hard time deciding. After thinking for a long time, he said, “Young Master, I don ‘t know if my

guess is right, but the force behind Miss Hannah seems to be connected to First Madam.”

“My mother?” Philip asked, his eyes filled with horror!

Rick nodded and pondered for a long time before saying, “Perhaps my guess is wrong. I’ll investigate.”

Philip took a deep breath and was unable to calm down for a long time.

Was it related to his mother?

Meanwhile, in District 12, Seth Larson’s mansion. Steven quickly walked in at this moment, his face full

of gravity. He said to Seth, who was sitting in the living room in the middle of his disciple training,

“District Master, there’s some unusual movement within the branch Clarke family.”

Seth’s upper body was exposed, and his bronze skin with muscles that were on full display glinted

under the light. He took a deep breath, picked up the towel next to him, and wiped the sweat from his

body. He then sat on the sofa and asked, “What’s the situation?”

Steven replied, “Thousands of people are gathering in the districts under the jurisdiction of the branch

family.”

Seth sneered upon hearing that and said, “Has it started?”

Steven nodded and said, “According to the news from the scouts, the branch family has gathered

10,000 guards that they’ve been training in the past ten years. They’re ready to enter the Clarkes’

territory tomorrow morning while acting as security personnel for the ancestor commemoration

ceremony. Should we make some preparations?”

Seth threw down the towel, picked up the tea on the table, and drank the contents in one mouthful.

With a conspicuous sneer in his eyes, he asked, “How are the movements on Philip’s side?”

Steven shook his head and said, “There’s no movement so far. The people of the main family seem

unaware of the branch family’s unusual activity.”

“Hehehe…”

Seth laughed and said, “Steven, you underestimate the main family. Tim Clarke is back, and there’s

also a freak like Horace Clarke there. Even without Roger Clarke, these two are enough to counter any

unscrupulous forces. The unusual movements of the branch family might even be a part of their plan.

Pass my order down and tell the men under your command to be ready for battle. Once any strife

breaks out in the Clarke family, we must be ready to rescue!”

After saying this, the smile on Seth’s face became gloomier.

Steven nodded and said with a bow, “Yes, District Master!”

Then, he turned and left the mansion.

Back to Tucker Stone’s mansion.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in his 50s or 60s sat in front of Tucker in the living room of the

mansion. It was none other than Hansel of the branch Clarke family.

Tucker was full of smiles while smoking a cigar. He said to the servants around him, “Why are you

standing around? Why aren’t you serving tea to Master Clarke?”

After that, Tucker asked with a smile, “Master Clarke, why are you here in my mansion at this late

hour?”

Hansel smiled and went straight to the point, saying, “Master Stone, I won’ t beat about the bush with

you, so I’ll get right to the point. Tomorrow is the Clarke family’s ancestor commemoration ceremony,

and my branch family will take action then. I hope that you can lend us a helping hand when the time

comes. As long as my branch family gets what we want, I can guarantee that in the future, District 12

will always be your territory.”

After hearing this, Tucker laughed and said, “Master Clarke, you must be joking. How can I intervene in

the internal affairs of the Clarke family? This is tantamount to offending the main family. I can’t afford it.”
