Chapter 3381
The First Heir
After saying that, the old man raised his hand, exposing his forearm. He could hardly control the violent
trembling, even if he was a holy-tier powerhouse.
âI fought him once over this matter. I wanted to teach this rascal a lesson, but I didnât expect to be so
useless now that Iâm old.â
Philip could tell that the other party was helpless.
âThe food is ready, Mr. Clarkeâ¦â The old lady cleared the table and diffused the awkward atmosphere.
Gladys was the first to run over and sit down at the dining table. The food was mostly home-cooked
dishes but tasted delicious.
The old lady said to the old man, âIf youâd told me earlier that thereâd be a guest, Iâd have gone
shopping.â
âI get it,â the old man said impatiently as he ate.
âSee, heâs so impatient after just a few words.â
Pursing her lips, the old lady served Philip some food and said, âHave some more. If itâs not enough, Iâll
keep cooking.â
Philip nodded. Putting aside their identities and his sonâs problem, Philip looked forward to such a
retirement life.
After lunch, Philip and the old man sat at the dining table again. The old man turned on the monitor with
the news playing on a loop.
âWhat are your plans?â the old man peeled a fruit and said to Philip.
âIâm heading to the first continent.â
âAre you attending the Heroes Conference?â the man said in puzzlement.
Philip said without hiding, âFor the Multidew Herb.â
Hearing that, the old man thought for a while and said, âI once took part in one session when I was
younger, and the second prize that year seemed to be the Multidew Herb. But I donât know what the
prizes now are.â
Philip was surprised. If he could not get the Multidew Herb from the Multiherb Guild, maybe he could go
to this conference to fight for it.
âHow did you do back then?â Philip asked.
âAlas, I wasnât very focused on my practice back then, so I only managed to get fifth place.â
Although he said that modestly, his chest still puffed up as if implying to Philip of his strength.
âOh, amazing,â Philip said perfunctorily.
âLooking at your current state, you can win the championship,â Mallow said seriously all of a sudden.
Philip smiled and said, âNo way. Even first place isnât enough to satisfy me.â
The two laughed.
At this time, the news reported that a newly opened aquarium, purportedly the largest in the whole
continent, had quelled the riots caused by the sudden appearance of a naked man in the center. The
flow of visitors had also increased.
âYou see, thatâs what I said. Remember to ask him to buy me dinner next time,â Philip pursed his lips
and said.
The old man jokingly said, âYou really dare to own up to this. Youâre not afraid of inviting trouble.â
At this time, Gladys, who was still eavesdropping in the room, ran out. She pointed to the aquarium on
the monitor and said, âWe went here today.â
Suddenly seeing Philipâs appearance in the news, she pointed and said, âBald guy.â
Philip said in exasperation, âIf you donât listen to your grandparents, youâll become bald when you grow
up too.â
The little girl believed him and ran back to her room while covering her mouth.
Mallow shook his head and said, âArenât you afraid of retribution for lying to kids?â
âIâm not afraid of retribution.â Philip chuckled.
The two continued to watch the news, lost in their own thoughts.
âIâll have someone withdraw your arrest warrant,â the old man said.
âIâm grateful for your help.â
The two chatted for a long time. As it was getting late, Philip got up to leave.
âI canât interfere with the Moon Worship Creed for the time being. If you want to intervene, I suggest
you do it after reaching the holy-tier.â
Philip nodded and turned to leave.
The little girl ran out with a wig in her hand and said, âBig Brother, I made this with my nano sewing
machine. I hope you wonât catch a cold.â
Seeing that Philip was helpless, the old man said, âMy granddaughter likes to tinker with such things.
Just accept it.â
Philip took the wig and put it on his head.
He did not feel any discomfort, so he smiled and said to the little girl, âIt fits me very well. Listen to your
grandpa and be a good kid.â
The old man suddenly said solemnly, âIt seems that someone is going to make a move on the ancestral
land. I donât know the specific details yet, but I advise you not to sink too deeply.â
