Chapter 26
The First Heir
Noticing the troubled look on his face, Philip frowned slightly and asked, âWill this be difficult for you?â
Theo walked over to Philip and whispered into his ear, âMr. Clarke, I donât think we can lay a hand on
Jeffrey Scott.â They genuinely could not.
The main reason was that Jeffreyâs uncle, Henry Turner, was an internationally famous medical
magnate and was even nicknamed as âthe Healing Hand of Godâ within the country. The patients that
Professor Turner had cured with his hands were the most prominent figures worldwide. Just a few
words from these figures were enough to shake up the economy in a location of their preference!
Among them included a few individuals who held high authority in foreign politics within their country!
For example, the governor of Riverfront Province was also one of Professor Turnerâs patients. He was
a powerful man that no one dared to provoke.
Needless to say, everyone had great respect for this magnate of the medical industry. Whoever
provoked this tycoon was like inciting the wrath of a magnitude seven earthquake!
After his explanation, cold sweat was scarcely visible on Theoâs forehead. Complicated emotions
surged behind his eyes as he looked at Drogo and the infuriated Jeffrey on top of the stairs. He started
to feel nervous.
However, beyond everyoneâs expectations, Philip did not seem the least fazed. He only stared coldly at
Jeffrey and said, âThere isnât anyone in this world that I canât touch.â
Theoâs whole body trembled as fire returned to his eye!
Yet, Jeffrey started laughing out of exasperation. His expression darkened as he said, âOkay, okay, you
have a great imagination there, brat. But I refuse to believe that thereâs a single person in this tiny city
that I, Jeffrey Scott, canât take down!â
âDrogo Hanks, I want this man crippled now! And those two women, tear their clothes off! I will f*ck
them silly right in front of him!â There was a dangerous glint in Jeffreyâs eyes as he completely ignored
Philip. His uncle was Professor Henry Turner, a medical magnate that could, with a stomp of his feet,
make the whole Riverfront Province quake! For a boy toy to speak up so boldly, he must have a death
wish!
Drogo wore a smirk on his face as he bellowed into the walkie-talkie in his hand, âAll of you, get your
asses in here and get to work!â
Stomp, stomp, stomp!
In an instant, a group of muscular tattooed men rushed into the room, confining everyone inside as the
whole area became crowded.
âGet him! Cripple them all!â Drogo waved and roared. The devilish amusement in his eyes only grew
thicker.
Theo was shocked. He led his men near and pointed at Drogo. âDrogo Hanks, Iâd advise you not to
make this mistake. Mr. Clarke is not someone you can afford to provoke!â
âF*ck you! Is there anyone in here that I, Jeffrey Scott, canât afford to provoke?â Above the stairs,
Jeffrey bellowed with bloodshot eyes. It was a frightening sight to see his bloodied face paired with his
bloodshot eyes. âGet him now! Kill him!â
âMr. Clarke!â Theo knew the situation had gotten dangerous. He locked on to the hitmen with metal
baseball bats in their hands as they rushed toward Philip, and in an instant, a brawl broke out between
them!
Theo was suited to his title as the underground king. In just a few moves, he had taken down four of
the hitmen!
Drogoâs gaze turned cold at this. He narrowed his eyes and personally led eight of his men over to
surround Theo. No matter how fierce Theo was, two fists were no match for eight pairs of arms. He
was easily beaten to the ground.
Drogo boldly stepped on Theoâs back and laughed out madly. âBrother Theo, who knew that a day like
this would happen? From today on, the whole of Riverdale City is mine to command!â
Theo gritted his teeth and glared furiously at Drogo. âDrogo Hanks, you can deal with me but you
definitely canât lay a finger on Mr. Clarke. Or else, youâll regret it for life!â
âF*ck! You still have the nerve to threaten me!â Drogo stepped down hard, his gaze was menacing.
The atmosphere in the room was grim. Drogoâs men had overpowered Theo, Anna, and all of the
people they brought over. Around the room, only Philip was left holding his fainted wife.
Jeffrey walked down the stairs, step by step. His gaze was fierce as he smirked. âBrat, werenât you so
very pompous earlier? Hereâs another bottle of wine, why donât you hit me in the head with it again!â
Philip remained composed. There was not a trace of fear in his expression. He gently put Wynn down
on the sofa then sighed. âJeffrey Scott, Drogo Hanks, both of you should have never provoked me.â
Hearing this made Jeffrey flare up in anger. He pointed at Philip and roared, âDrogo, cripple this brat!
Make him kneel to speak to me!â He sat down on the sofa, unyielding, with mockery in his eyes as he
smoked a cigar. A servant went over the dress the wound on his head.
Drogo held the metal bat in his hand as he closed in on Philip with a cold smile.
âDrogo, stop! You canât lay a hand on Mr. Clarke!â Theo who was pressed onto the ground yelled out. If
anything happened to the young master in this place, he, Theo Zander, would have cut his own throat
to atone for his powerlessness.
Drogo only flashed a smirk and lifted the baseball bat, aiming at Philipâs knees as the latter stood tall.
All of a sudden, an ominous ringtone resonated in the room, confusing everyone.
Drogo glanced at Jeffrey. Jeffrey was feeling generous and said coldly, âLet him answer it.â
Philip frowned. He glanced at the caller ID, but it was an unknown number. He then answered the call,
ignoring everyone present. âHello, whoâs this?â
âMr. Clarke, how do you do? I am Henry Turner. Iâve already reached Riverdale City with my medical
team and was wondering if it would be convenient for us to meet you.â On the other end of the call,
Henry Turnerâs tone was respectful and his attitude humble.
