Chapter 3000
The First Heir
The news that Dragon King Well had offended the young patriarch of the Clarke family and gotten his
manor destroyed, and subsequently got resorted by a mysterious person, quickly spread throughout
Mystic City. Everyone in the city panicked because many families had offended Young Patriarch Clarke
too.
Now, the well-being of the Third Dragon King of Mystic City was unknown, which was enough to deter
everyone. Everyone speculated what was the next step Young Patriarch Clarke would take.
In Clausâ private villa, Philip and the others were chatting.
âYoung Patriarch Clarke, your destruction of Windsorâs manor has spread throughout the city. All the
patriarchs of the families who havenât left are panicking now.â
Claus sat on the side and said, âThe example you set is very good.â
Philip nodded lightly and said, âI want to thank you for your hospitality these days. Iâll leave the rest of
the things in Mystic City in your good hands.â
Claus nodded and said, âPlease rest assured, Young Patriarch Clarke. Iâll take good care of the
aftermath in Mystic City.â
At this time, a maid walked in quickly and said, âLord Dragon King, Young Patriarch Clarke, Miss Nolan
is awake.â
Philip jumped to his feet and rushed to Laylaâs room. He pushed the door open. Layla was leaning
against the head of the bed weakly. Seeing Philip barging in, she immediately turned her head, snorted
coldly, and said, âWhat are you doing here?â
Philip slowed down, scratched his head awkwardly, and said with a smile, âI heard you woke up and
came to see youâ¦â
Layla pursed her lips, turned her face away, and said arrogantly, âYouâve seen me. You can go now.â
Philip chuckled, poured a cup of tea, walked to Laylaâs bed, and handed the cup to her. He said, âYou
just woke up and your body is weak. Drink more liquids.â
Layla frowned as she looked at the cup of tea in Philipâs hand. She asked, âDo men only know how to
make a woman drink?â
Philip was startled and smiled in embarrassment, not knowing what to say. This was a million-dollar
question. Was it bad to drink more water?
Seeing his embarrassment, Layla chuckled and said, âOkay, Iâll stop teasing you. How long have I been
in a coma? What happened to Samuel and Hugh Woods?â
Philip sat down and said, âYouâve been in a coma for six days. Samuel and Hugh have left Mystic City. I
donât know where they went.â
Hearing that, Layla frowned and said, âIt seems that theyâve gone back first. No way, I have to return to
Heavenly Court immediately.â
After saying that, Layla was about to get up, but she was still weak. Before she could get up, she
staggered and was about to fall. Philip quickly stepped forward to support Layla.
At this moment, the atmosphere was somewhat ambiguous. Layla was very nervous, and her heart
thumped as she fell into Philipâs arms. When she came back to her senses, she pushed Philip away.
Blushing like a tomato, she said, âW-What are you doing?â
Philip was taken aback and said, âYour injury hasnât recovered, so you have to rest for a few more
days. When youâre well, Iâll send someone to go back with you.â
Layla thought about it and finally nodded in agreement.
Then, Philip suddenly asked, âBy the way, about the thing you told me earlierâ¦â
âWhat is it?â Layla asked cautiously and added, âDonât even think about it. The event in Mystic City is
over, and we havenât reached any agreement. We go our separate ways now and have nothing more to
do with each other, do you understand?â
Philip nodded nonchalantly and said, âSureâ¦â
With that said, Philip left the room.
After Philip left, Layla stomped her feet in anger and cursed, âThat block of wood! Why couldnât he
understand? Hmph!â
On this side, Philip returned to the living room. Everyone asked about Laylaâs condition and finally
breathed a sigh of relief.
