Chapter 2299
The First Heir
A gang of thugs stared at Philip intently, feeling extremely angry at the way Philip made his arrogant
appearance.
Old Cainâs cheek twitched, causing the centipede-like scar on his face to wiggle back and forth as if it
was about to eat people.
âHow gutsy of you. Your wifeâs life is in our hands and you still dare to mess around.â
âYour lives are in my hands,â Philip said coldly as he walked toward Old Cain.
âHold it right there! Take one more step and Iâll kill your wife!â
A thug held a steel pipe and pointed at Wynnâs head.
Wynn smiled as she looked at Philip, her tears already blurring her vision. The fact that Philip could
come was the most gratifying thing for Wynn.
After shooting Wynn a reassuring look, Philip steadily stopped in his tracks.
Old Cain looked at Philip with a sneer and said disdainfully, âYou have guts but not brains.â
The corners of Philipâs mouth twitched slightly as he looked at Old Cain with a subtle smile.
Seeing Philipâs expression, Old Cain felt uncomfortable all over. It was as if Philip had no fear at all.
Was this kid really stupid or pretending to be stupid?
Old Cain looked at Philip with some doubts and felt that he could not see through Philip.
In the past, anyone caught by Old Cainâs gang would act like Martin and the others, panicked and at a
loss. Just a little beating and intimidation would scare them sh*tless. However, Philip was too calm as if
he was afraid of nothing and everything was within his grasp.
âCharge! Beat him up until his parents canât recognize him!â Old Cain roared.
Old Cain felt that Philip was just pretending. Such deceptive acts would quickly be exposed under kicks
and punches. By then, Philip could only kneel and beg for mercy.
Martin and the others watched Philip closely, waiting to see him get beaten. It was because of Philip
they were beaten and intimidated just now. Their sufferings must be returned to Philip by at least
tenfold. After all, they had suffered quite a bit under Philipâs hands in the past.
The thugs howled and rushed at Philip, brandishing baseball bats and steel pipes dauntingly. A burly
guy behind Old Cain said with a sneer, âMaster Cain, letâs make a bet and see how many seconds this
kid can last.â
This was a game that they liked to play the most. In the past, Old Cain would win most of the time.
Old Cain smacked his lips twice and said with a smile, âI can see a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes.
He can last for three minutes.â
âWhoa, Master Cain, you think too highly of him. Although these thugs are just so-so, theyâre no Tom,
Dick, and Harry either. I think this kid can last for a minute at most.â
âOne minute is too long. Letâs start the clock from now. I donât think this wimp can last 30 seconds.â
Old Cainâs subordinate took out his cell phone and pulled up the stopwatch to start timing.
âAnyone who loses will buy me dinner for a month,â Old Cain said mildly.
âNo problem. Iâll sure to win this time.â
As the burly guy with the phone said, two thugs were already sent flying.
âDamn it, this wimp is quite savage. He can still send people flying under siege.â
Old Cain and the others focused on Philip in the crowd. They only saw Philip darting around right and
left. He held a steel pipe he stole in his hands. He easily suppressed a group of thugs by himself.
âDamn it, is he really a wimp? Just his skills alone are worth bragging about.â
âWe met a tough one this time. No wonder that Parker guy dared not take action. He must have
suffered a big loss, so he got us instead.â
Hearing his subordinatesâ discussion, Old Cain instantly felt a little annoyed. He frowned and said,
âWatch him carefully and pay attention to find out this kidâs weaknesses and vulnerabilities. If we need
to take action later, we know what to do. After all, our strength canât be too exposed to the public.
Otherwise, if the people of the Supernatural Bureau find out, we wonât be able to escape.â
âNo way, I reckon he can only keep this up for one minute. When his strength is exhausted later, heâll
definitely bow down.â
Although Philip appeared very ferocious right now, Old Cainâs subordinates were not optimistic about
him. All of them practiced supernatural abilities, and they had entered the Nonagon to study for some
time too. They had experienced all the big spectacles and also had a deep understanding of fighting.
