Chapter 3389
The First Heir
A gruff and powerful voice resounded throughout the aquarium.
Everyone followed the voice and looked over.
A blond old man flew in on a hover car, and someone recognized him as the manager of the aquarium.
The blond old man slowly landed next to the patrol team and said, âThis is the aquariumâs private affair.
We can handle it ourselves. We donât need any help from the patrol team.â
Since the old man said so, the captain of the patrol team told his men to retreat to the side.
The blond old man saw Philip staring at him with a smile on his face and felt a little creeped out.
He said, âLittle friend, I donât know what your purpose is, coming to my aquarium time and again. My
aquarium is just newly opened, you know.â
âArenât I bringing you more customers and increasing your popularity?â Philip smiled and said, âThe
previous incident was an accident. As for this time, you should ask your supervisor.â
The old man turned to the skinny man doubtfully and said with a frown, âTell me about itâ¦â
The skinny man recounted the facts he had fabricated. However, before he finished speaking, the
blond old man stepped forward and slapped the skinny man.
Smack!
The sound was crisp and loud as if all his strength was put into it.
âPack up your things and get lost!â
âMana⦠Manager, but why?â
This skinny man could not find a job at first. His family found him a decent job through money and
connections.
âLet me ask you again, where did this mermaid come from?â The blond old man glared at him angrily.
âI-It was given to us by the former leader of the White Marsh royal family.â After saying that, the man
flushed red.
At this time, a voice came from the crowd, âNo, thatâs falseâ¦â
A figure walked over, stepping on thin air.
Everyone took a closer look. It was none other than the former leader of the White Marsh royal family.
Everyone knelt to welcome the kingâs arrival. Seeing this, the skinny man slumped to the ground.
The guards hidden in the crowd turned on the electronic jammers. This was no time for taking casual
pictures.
âLittle Philip, we meet again after only a day. Youâre still so good at attracting trouble.â Mallow Wisteria
laughed.
âWhat brings you here?â Philip asked.
âIâm retired, so I have all the time in the world. I saw the news right after taking my granddaughter to
school.â
The blond old man stepped forward and laughed self-deprecatingly. âI should be cleaning my own
mess. Isnât this too big of a commotion?â
âWhatâs so big about it?â
Philip chased after the skinny man who was about to escape, picked him up, and said, âWhat
happened to all your arrogance just now? Didnât you make up a bunch of stories just now? Now that
these two are here, shouldnât you be happy?â
âSir, I was wrong. I was ignorant and shouldnât have made up stories.â
Seeing this, some wavering people started to change their tone again.
âI just knew that person was up to no good.â
âYeah, right. You just said youâd bet 10,000 star dollars that the young man was up to no good.â
Philip threw the man in front of the patrol team and said, âPlease take him away and charge him
according to the proper procedures.â
âOf course,â the captain of the patrol team said with a smile.
Walking to the two old men who were talking enthusiastically, Philip said to the blond old man, âI
wonder if I can use the name of your aquarium to send the mermaid back to the sea.â
The blond man thought about it. This would not only increase the popularity of his aquarium but also let
it gain a good reputation, so why not?
âSure. You may decide what to do.â
Philip nodded and said, âToday, under the joint witness of Mr. Wisteria and everyone, the aquarium will
send the mermaid back home with an exclusive entourage. I hope that the media will follow and report
this.â
As he spoke, Philip patted the head of Sammy, the young boy next to him.
After a while, the crowd slowly dispersed, but some people still waited for things to end.
âIâm sorry to trouble you, Sir.â Philip saluted the blond old man.
âYouâre most welcome. My name is Archie Bard. Just call me Mr. Archie. Iâm not that old, â the blond old
man said.
Philip looked at the vehicle that was ready and the mermaid who was still full of doubts.
He turned to Mallow and said, âSir, I want this boy to go to school.â
