Chapter 2207
The First Heir
Hansel laughed and said, âMaster Stone, what are you afraid of? Youâre one of the district masters of
District 12, after all.â
Tucker also laughed and said, âMaster Clarke, even so, this is your Clarke familyâs internal affairs. If an
outsider like me intervenes and the main Clarke family takes offense, the result wonât end well for me.â
Hansel fell silent. His eyes tensed as he asked, âMaster Stone, are you sure you wonât help?â
Tucker smiled and said, âMaster Clarke, itâs not that I donât want to help but this is⦠You should
understand that I need to take care of my men. Helping the branch family at this time will pose a great
risk for us. If there arenât enough benefits for my men to risk their lives, Iâm afraid Iâm powerless to order
them around.â
At this point, Hansel naturally understood the meaning of Tuckerâs words.
He thought about it and said, âMaster Stone, as long as you help the branch family tomorrow, not only
will District 12 be yours but Iâll also give you another district to rule. What do you think?â
âOkay!â
Tucker suddenly slapped the armrest of the sofa and laughed. He raised his wine glass and said to
Hansel, âMaster Clarke, youâre indeed a person who has accomplished great things. You have the
drive! Iâll certainly help you with this task. Cheers!â
Hansel smiled and raised his glass to toast Tucker.
The storm started brewing tonight. All forces were in motion. This was a huge vortex enough to engulf
everything in its path.
It was near dawn yet Philip was still awake and standing in the yard, waiting for his subordinateâs
report.
17 faced the golden light of the rising sun and walked up to Philip from behind. She bowed slightly and
said, âYoung Master, the forces of the branch family have already gathered. Tucker Stone of District 12
also made secret contact with Hansel Clarke last night and should be making a move now. As for Seth
Larson, he has yet to take action.â
Philip put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked at the rising sun indifferently, and said with an
exhale, âI see. Contact Buck Jolly and tell them to be ready on standby.â
âYes!â
17 responded and said, âYoung Master, the 13 members of the Shadow Squadron are ready. As long
as you give the order, we can wipe out the entire branch family.â
Philip smiled, turned to look at 17âs belligerent face, and said, âItâs not that easy. Just wait for my order.â
17 nodded and said, âYoung Master, thereâs still one hour before we have to leave.â
Philip hummed, stood for a while, and returned to the living room of his residence.
Wynn had long ago woken up to get ready because the ancestor commemoration ceremony was a big
event. Although Philip did not provide too many details, she knew it was a very special day for the
Clarke family. Therefore, she wore a black dress and black high heels, looking very solemn and
dignified. Even Mila put on a little black dress.
Seeing Philip walk in, Wynn smiled slightly and said, âYou should also change your clothes.â
Philip glanced at Wynn and Mila and nodded.
Not long after, Philip put on a black suit, black leather shoes, and wore a black tie. He looked very
handsome!
Wynn put on his tie for him and said softly, âPhilip, I know the branch family might do something today,
but Iâm not worried or afraid because with you by my side, I know youâll definitely protect me, Mila, and
Nelson.â
Philip lowered his eyes and looked at Wynn in front of him. She had a lovely face, and her eyes
glistened with tears.
