Chapter 2496
The First Heir
As soon as Philip finished speaking, Warwick yelled, âJust wait, you lowly Easterner! Iâll make sure you
die a horrible death!â
After saying that, Warwick was taken away to have his injuries treated.
The onlookers looked at Philip and his gang, feeling a little afraid. It was the first time they saw such an
arrogant Easterner. Messing with Warwick meant certain death.
Philip took Vivi and turned to leave.
Steven came up immediately and said with a smile, âMr. Clarke, young lady, Iâm sorry. I didnât expect
Warwick to act like this. I hope it wonât affect our discussion.â
Philip looked at Steven and asked, âDo we know each other?â
Philipâs question caused Stevenâs next words to get stuck in his throat.
âDamn it!â
This young Easterner was too arrogant!
He was the young master of the Smith family of Country Y. He was a nobleman, a viscount, and a
dazzling presence everywhere he went!
If not for his fatherâs orders, Steven would not be here in search of opportunities. However, Steven was
not a brainless person. Most aristocrats were smart and sophisticated.
He smiled and said, âMr. Clarke, please hold on. I think there may be a misunderstanding between us. I
think you should be quite interested in what I have to say.â
Philip stopped and glanced at Fennel, who said, âJust spit it out already.â
Steven held back his resentment and said with a smile, âOur Smith family has heard about the Michael
family. My father, Marquis Conrad Smith, asked me to stay in Sendona to find a chance to meet the two
of you.â
Fennel frowned. A marquis was not a small character. Aristocrats controlled most of the economy and
resources of the West. A marquis was equivalent to the second or third rank in ancient times.
Moreover, he had some impression of Conrad Smith. He was quite a reputable figure in Country Y.
Philip frowned and asked, âWhat exactly is this about?â
Steven smiled and said, âMr. Clarke, donât you want to find out information about the Lovelace family?â
âThe Lovelace family?â
Hearing that, Philip frowned and looked at Steven oddly. He could not figure out how an aristocrat from
Country Y would know about the Lovelace family or be connected to them in any way.
Fennel leaned close and whispered in Philipâs ear, âThe Smith family is a big aristocratic family in
Country Y engaged in intelligence gathering. It isnât surprising that they know about you and the
Lovelace family. I think they must know your identity as well.â
Hearing this, Philipâs face darkened. He looked at Steven who had a smile on his face and said, âWhat
do you want to say?â
Steven smiled and said, âMr. Clarke, I know a little about your relationship with the Lovelace family, and
the Smith family happens to have some cooperation with them too. Hence, we know some things about
them. If you want to find out more about the Lovelace family, how about you work with our Smith
family?â
âA cooperation? In which area?â Philip asked.
Steven said, âItâs simple. As long asâ¦â
Before Steven could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a loud noise at the entrance of the hall.
âF*ck! Go in and arrest those Easterners!â
There was a clamor, and a group of heavily armed warriors in combat uniforms rushed in.
The entire hall was in chaos, and everyone hid in the corners.
Warwick could be seen behind this group of warriors. He clutched his splinted finger and stared at
Philip with a sinister smile. He said, âThatâs him! Arrest him!â
