The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

The First Heir – Chapter 1671

Before Joey could say anything, Otis laughed smugly. “That’s right, I’m the one who did it! What can you

do about it?”

Joey frowned. Otis was really brainless. What if Philip had a recorder on him or something?

Otis sneered as he knocked the steel baseball bat in his hand and said, “Damn it, you’re lucky you didn‘t

burn to death. How dare you come here? I’m telling you, don’t f’tcking think of stepping out of this door

today. I’m going to kill you right here!”

When Otis said that, the 20 to 30 thugs around were already eager to make a move. At this moment, a

figure suddenly flashed past!

Before Otis could react, Philip was already in front of him. He jumped and kicked Otis right in the face!

Otis immediately flew out and slammed into the back of the office door before he fell heavily to the floor.

He covered his mouth, coughed hard, and spat out two front teeth.

Everyone was stunned!

Philip lifted his foot, patted the dust off his pants, and said coldly, “If you want to fight, just fight. What’s

the point in talking crap?”

“F*ck! Kill him for me!”

Otis said incoherently and angrily, covering his mouth as blood seeped from it.

When the dozens of thugs heard their boss‘ orders, they rushed over with a holler.

Philip looked at them with a sneer, dodged sideways unhurriedly, and rushed up to Joey. With a vice-like

grip, he grabbed Joey by the neck!

Capture the general and the army would collapse!

“Don’t move. If anyone moves, I’ll break his neck.” Philip said with a cold smile on his face. He tightened

his grip and Joey felt like he could not breathe. His face instantly flushed red as he frantically gestured

with his hands for his men to back away.

Their boss was in Philip’s hands. Who would dare to move? They glared at Philip angrily but no one

dared to step forward.

Philip smiled lightly and said, “This is how it should be.”

Immediately after, his grip loosened a little. Philip sat on Joey’s chair and crossed his legs. “You have a

guest here. Don’t you know what to do?”

As Philip said that, he picked up Joey’s phone that was on the table and smashed it to the floor. He

shouted, “Serve me some tea!”

That roar was like thunder!

Overheating!

Arrogant!

Yes, he was here to wreck the place!

The thugs almost went mad with fury!

Who the hell was this?

How could he be so cocky?

How dare he order them to serve him tea after beating them up?

When Philip saw that no one was moving, he pulled Joey’s head over with his grip remaining around the

man’s neck

Smack, smack!

Two slaps landed on Joey’s face!

Joey’s face instantly swelled up!

“Are you going to serve me tea or not?” Philip asked coldly.

He was too domineering!

Joey quickly shouted, “Are you deaf? Hurry up!”

Everyone was shocked. When they heard their boss’ words, two people quickly ran out.

Soon, they brought a pot of tea and a teacup for Philip. Otis had already been helped up from the floor.

Covering his mouth that was full of blood, he glared at Philip fiercely.

Otis had some power in Uppercreek. Although he was not as powerful as Victor Bell and the others, no

one would dare to mess with him because he was the follower of Joey Cullen, a bigwigin the distillery

industry.

When had he ever suffered such humiliation? His two front teeth were knocked off by Philip, and his

other teeth were also loose now.

Philip picked up the cup of tea and took a sip. He looked at Otis who was glaring at him and asked,

“What? Are you pissed?”

Otis clenched his fists until they were creaking but he dared not step forward. After all, the boss was still

in the other party’s hands.

“Philip, I’m telling you, don’t be too cocky! Can’t you see our strength in numbers? I don’t believe you

dare to touch our boss. If anything happens to him today, I won’t let you off!”

Otis said angrily with a chill in his eyes.

Philip smiled and said, “Oh? Are you saying that I can’t leave today?”

“Exactly! You’ll surely die here because someone has already paid for your life!” Otis said menacingly.

Philip smiled faintly, took out his phone, and dialed a number. “Have you caught that person?”

“Yes, we have. How do we deal with him?”

“I’m in Joey Brewery now. Grab that kid and bring more people over,” Philip said.

“Yes, Young Master Clarke!”

After Philip ended the call, Otis looked at Philip and scoffed. “Calling for help now? You’re just bluffing!”

The First Heir – Chapter 1672

Philip smiled and said, “Whether it’s a bluff or not, you’ll find out soon enough. I advise you to take this

opportunity to kneel and apologize for your crime. I might consider granting you a way out. Otherwise,

I’m afraid you’ll have to spend the rest of your life in prison.”

“Oh? Haha, you stinking brat, still pretending to be cocky, aren’t you? Do you think you can scare me?

And you even want me to spend time in prison?! You think you’re so awesome, huh?” Otis said. Now that

the boss was in Philip’s hands, he dared not move recklessly. As soon as the boss was out of danger, he

would definitely kill Philip the first chance he got!

Philip sneered and slowly sipped on his tea.

Joey was in an awkward position. As Philip was sitting and the position was fairly low, he could only

squat next to him because his neck was being grabbed by Philip. The sight of him like this was too lowly.

Joey Cullen was about to go crazy with anger!

Joey Brewery was considered one of the three largest distilleries in Uppercreek with an annual output

value of more than one billion dollars.

Imported alcohol was relatively more expensive, so the restaurants in Uppercreek were more willing to

buy local products. Thus, as the owner of the largest local brewery, Joey Cullen was pretty well-known in

the business world and considered a big shot in this industry.

When had he ever made a fool of himself in Uppercreek? When Philip was done with his cup of tea,

thundering footsteps could be heard outside.

Victor and his party rushed over in a blaze of glory. He had brought with him twice more people than

Joey currently had in the room. The entire office was now packed with people.

Otis initially thought that Philip was bluffing, but now that so many people had turned up, he felt a little

nervous.

However, he was not particularly scared.

Otis Todd also had some prestige in Uppercreek. Even though Philip had somehow gotten these people

to come over, Otis was quite sure they would show him some respect after learning his name!

However, when he saw the group of people who came in, he almost stumbled to the floor.

It was Victor Bell, one of the three lords of Uppercreek!

Why was he here?!

All of them roamed the streets, so how could Otis not recognize Victor? In terms of ranking or seniority,

Otis was far inferior compared to Victor!

Without hesitation, he hurried forward, bowed to Victor in greeting, and said, “Master Bell, you’re here!”

“Hmph!” Victor snorted coldly.

He knew Otis Todd.

They first met when Otis made his debut and Victor attended the ceremony. However, it seemed that

their second meeting today was going to be Otis’ farewell ceremony!

Victor did not pay attention to Otis at all. Instead, he walked up to Philip and bowed deeply.

“Young Master Clarke, I’ve brought that person here!”

The thugs and bodyguards present almost passed out!

That was Victor Bell!

He was one of the three lords of Uppercreek!

Every single thug and bodyguard here came from the streets. Even if they did not, they had been

roaming the streets long enough. How could they not know the leading figure of the underground scene

in Uppercreek? However, this leading figure was bowing his head to Philip!

All of them felt goosebumps all over.

Philip nodded.

Since Victor was here, there was no use for him to keep Joey as his hostage. Hence, he loosened his

hold and let go of him.

Joey was coughing when he saw that under Victor’s order, several people dragged and shoved Jacky

into the office.

Jacky was trembling. When he saw Philip, he quickly exclaimed wryly, “C-Chairman Clarke.”

Philip smiled and said, “Oh, aren’t you Manager Cullen? We just met, right?”

Philip frowned and asked, “Manager Cullen, where were you just now and what did you do?”

Jacky was sweating profusely as he said with an awkward smile, “I didn’t do anything. Chairman Clarke,

are these your people? Did you catch the wrong person? I was just taking a walk, that’s all.”

Philip said, “Oh? In that case, why did I see you wandering around when the Uppercreek Chamber of

Commerce caught on fire just now?”

Jacky shuddered and stammered, “I… I just wanted to talk to Director Luther about the cooperation

again.”

Philip sneered before his expression changed and he shouted, “Show me your hands!”

Jacky was taken aback when he suddenly realized something. He quickly put his hands behind his back

and said tremblingly, “Chairman Clarke, don’t look at them. I just fell and my hands aren’t clean.”

“Stop the bullsh*t and show me your hands!”

Philip reprimanded. The subordinates behind Victor stepped forward in tacit understanding. One grabbed

Jacky by the neck while the other two held his hands out.

His hands were covered in dirt!

The dirt from the vase! The First Heir – Chapter 1673

“Where did the dirt on your hands come from? Manager Cullen, don’t tell me you fell into the mud?”

Philip asked coldly.

Jacky was instantly flustered and quickly defended himself, saying, “Chairman Clarke, I tripped and fell

down just now.”

“If you fell, why isn’t your body dirty?” Philip said.

“This…” Jacky stuttered and could not complete a full sentence.

“Let me tell you What happened, Manager Cullen. This is the dirt from the vase which you threw from the

window, wanting to smash it over my head, right?”

When Philip said this, his voice sounded like muffled thunder and the cold light in his eyes kept flickering.

Jacky fell on his knees with a loud thud!

“Chairman Clarke, I was wrong! Please have mercy on me. Joey, help me plead with him!” Jacky said to

Joey.

His cousin was his last ray of hope.

Joey frowned, took a deep breath, and looked at Victor, saying, “Victor, we’ve never crossed paths

before today. You’ve now captured my cousin and brought so many people to cause trouble on my turf.

Are you not taking me seriously?”

Although he was beaten up by Philip just now, Joey was still an overlord in the Uppercreek brewery

industry. His identity and strength were not to be taken lightly! Even though he was outnumbered and

outmatched right now, he could not just give in!

This was exactly like the growling and intimidation between beasts before they made a move. If he

faltered at this time, he would lose for sure.

Victor smiled slightly and said, “Mr. Cullen, I don’t want to cause you trouble either, but your underlings

seem a little ignorant and messed with the wrong person. Even if I don’t make a move today, you’ll not

survive. This is all your own doing.”

Joey was stunned and asked, “The wrong person? Who are you talking about? Philip Clarke?”

Joey looked back and found Philip smiling at him, but that smile carried a hint of killing intent.

“Joey, I’ll be taking Jacky away and you’d better not stop me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being

ruthless. Also, I’ll be taking this bodyguard of yours along as well,” Philip said coldly, “We have no

grudges but you came after my life just because of a word from your cousin. I think there should be

someone else involved here. Let me guess, is it Bernard Johnston or Liam Johnston?”

“Hmph!”

Joey snorted coldly. As he looked at the crowd surrounding him, he grew angrier the more he thought

about it!

This was a mutiny!

Everyone had turned against him!

“Who’s the person I shouldn’t have messed with? Who does he think he is? He’s nothing but a useless

son-in-law! Am I someone you can bully at will? Let me tell you, in Uppercreek, all the wineries have to

listen to me! Victor Bell, if you touch me today, aren’t you afraid that you’ll offend all the wineries and

eateries around?” Joey roared like a raging beast!

A wastrel colluded with an underground figure and dared to threaten him, Joey Cullen?

Dream on!

At this time, Philip smiled slightly and asked, “Oh? Do you think Uppercreek won’t survive without the

liquor produced by Joey Brewery?”

“But of course!” Joey roared. “Do you know how much more revenue the restaurants in Uppercreek can

earn just by using the products from my brewery? Do you know how much money the hotels, karaokes,

and nightclubs will lose if they don’t have the wine produced by my distillery? Even the dozens of venues

belonging to Victor make hundreds of millions each year from my liquor! Philip, if you dare to harm me

today, half of Uppercreek won’t let you off!”

Philip’s expression was very bland. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Since you’re so confident,

I’ll make a bet with you.”

“What are we betting on?” Joey asked.

Philip sneered and said, “One word from me and there’ll not be any restaurants, bars, karaokes, and any

other businesses that sell alcohol in Uppercreek that will cooperate with you again. Do you believe it?”

The First Heir – Chapter 1674

As soon as Philip said that, Joey, Otis, and the others could not help chuckling.

Those words sounded like wishful thinking! Was Philip Clarke not right in the head?

Why would the alcohol sellers refuse to buy their cheap and premium alcohol that was produced locally?

That would be no different from asking them to bear losses. Even if Philip knew Victor and had a bit of

money, could he restrict the entire alcohol industry in Uppercreek?

Joey said, “Okay, I’ll make this bet with you today! If you can do it, I’ll reverse my name from now today

onward!”

Philip smiled lightly and said, “As you wish!”

With that said, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.

“You!”

The veins on Joey’s forehead throbbed with anger. He wanted to step forward but Victor and his men

stood next to him like Philip’s protectors. Joey could only give up.

This was also why Philip stopped keeping Joey hostage after Victor showed up. After so many events,

Philip had put more trust in Victor by now.

Joey said, “Okay, fine. Do you think you’re the only one who knows how to make calls? I’ll call someone

too! I’ll make sure you won’t be able to leave today!”

Joey wanted to pick up his phone to call someone but realized that his phone had just been smashed on

the floor by Philip. Hence, he used the company’s phone on the side and dialed a number.

“Hello, Mr. Saunders? Hey, it’s me, Joey Cullen. I’ve been besieged by a group of people and this kid

even claims that he wants to boycott me from the alcohol industry in Uppercreek!”

The person on the other end of the line was called Mr. Saunders, and he could be heard cursing, “Damn,

which idiot dares to say such things? Okay, buddy, don’t worry about it. I’ll bring some people with me to

help you settle things. You’re at your brewery, right? I’ll be right there. It’s a riot to boycott the alcohol

king of Uppercreek! Let’s see who dares to be so lawless!”

Mr. Saunders was still cursing angrily when he suddenly received another call.

Mr. Saunders’ voice suddenly became flustered as he quickly said to Joey, “Uh, buddy, there’s another

call that I need to answer. It’s too important and I dare not reject the call. Just wait for me for a while. I’ll

bring some people over as soon as I finish this call!”

With a click, Mr. Saunders ended the call.

Joey did not notice anything unusual and sneered at Philip instead. The meaning was obvious. When

those people arrived, Philip would be dead!

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

Then, after a minute, Joey’s office phone rang! The caller ID displayed Mr. Saunders’ munber.

After Joey picked up the call, he asked, “Hello, Mr. Saunders, are you here already?”

Mr. Saunders could be heard stammering, “Umm, I don’t think I can go now. Also, Joey, I have to inform

you that we won’ t be working with you anymore. Buddy, I have to say that you’re in deep trouble this

time! Take care!”

With that said, the call ended!

Joey’s heart was in turmoil.

The First Heir – Chapter 1675

Joey’s hands trembled as the phone fell to the floor.

What was going on?

Just now, the other party had still called him a buddy and wanted to help him settle things. Now, he

wanted to end all cooperation just like that?

Breaking off all cooperation in the business world was no different from severing a friendship! Joey and

Mr. Saunders had known each other for more than ten years, but their relationship was severed just like

that?

Moreover, he did it in such a hurry without even a proper farewell just like a scumbag on a one-night

stand!

Joey stood dumbfounded on the spot!

He recalled what Mr. Saunders had just said, he was in deep trouble. Joey unconsciously glanced at

Philip.

Philip was looking at Joey with a face full of amusement.

Joey’s temper flared as he picked up the phone and dialed another number.

“Hello, Mr. Cooke, I’m Joey Cullen…”

“Oh, Joey, I’m sorry to tell you this, but we won’t need the goods for this month. Please refund the order,

and we won’t be ordering from you in the future.”

Click! The call ended.

Joey almost choked!

Suddenly, a very ominous premonition welled up in Joey’s heart.

He made three or four calls in a row.

As soon as the other party heard the words ‘Joey Cullen’ and ‘Joey Brewery’, they would either break off

all cooperation or hang up without saying anything. These were all the buddies Joey had been working

with for many years!

Before Joey could make another call, he started receiving a multitude of calls.

They were calls from the persons in charge of the brewery’s various departmental sales channels. They

all reported to him that the brewery’s orders had been returned and all channels had been cut off.

In less than ten minutes, Joey Brewery was being boycotted and the entire Uppercreek had cut off all

ties with Joey Cullen!

Joey slumped on the floor.

It was over!

His hard-earned contacts and businesses over the years were gone!

Philip walked over at this time and squatted down. He looked at Joey with a smile, asking, “How about it,

Mr. Cullen? Did I win the bet we made?”

Joey raised his head slightly and looked at Philip with panic on his face, asking, “W-Who are you?”

Philip smiled and said, “Don’t you already know? You said it just now, a useless son-in-law who half of

Uppercreek won’t let off. So, if I guessed correctly, half of Uppercreek should have come to a decision

now, right? However, who is the one that they won’t spare?”

As Philip said that, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Joey stepped back a little out of fright and stammered,

“Impossible! You can’t be a loser. Who the hell are you? To be able to mobilize such a large force in such

a short time, I’ve only seen this kind of power once in my life! ”

Joey said in a panic.

“Oh?” Philip looked at Joey with interest and asked, “You’ve actually seen such a sight before?”

Joey struggled to breathe evenly and slowly said, “Some years ago, I was selling liquor in the capital city

for a year. I met the local industry leader by chance, the one known as the Liquor Saint. His monopoly of

the liquor industry in the capital city meant that anyone who didn’t follow his rules would be forcefully

uprooted until nothing was left. I remember that the patron supporting that person belongs to a family

called…”

“The Clarke family?” Philip said.

“Yes! It’s the Clarke family!” Joey said and raised his head abruptly!

“The Clarke family… Clarke… Philip Clarke?” Joey said as horror spread across his face!

Could it be?!

“Cousin! He used to be the bankrupt young master of some Clarke Group!” Jacky shouted.

Joey’s eyes widened as he twisted his neck mechanically to look at Jacky, asking, “What did you say?

Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

“Joey, he’s already bankrupt. This is just an act of intimidation. Why are you so afraid of him?” Jacky

shouted anxiously.

Joey was so angry that he got up and rushed over to Jacky. This guy had such a big mouth!

What an idiot!

He was simply digging a grave for himself!

If he had known that Philip was a member of that Clarke family, he would not have dared to offend Philip

no matter what!

What bankruptcy?

If a family like that could go bankrupt, something must be really wrong with this world!
