The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

The First Heir – Chapter 1801

“You… You’ve gone to the main Dunley family in Hampton?” Homer’s voice went up a pitch as he asked

while glancing at Milo next to him. Milo’s expression was also very unpleasant but he immediately

mocked, “Boy, Hampton is the territory of the

main Dunley family! You’re bold enough to dare go there alone, but I’m afraid you won’t come back in

one

piece!”

“Hehehe…” Philip had already entered Hampton!

He was sitting in the helicopter, looking down at the most developed city in Charbury-Hampton!

This was where the main Dunley family was located. They were also the pillar of the entire Dunley family.

The sound of the propellers whistled in his ears. At one glance, the tallest building in Hampton was like a

giant sword that plunged into the sky!

This landmark building in Hampton belonged to the main Dunley family, Dunley Group!

It was the tallest and most luxurious building in Hampton. it was more than 1,00 meters high! “Milo

Dunley, the main Dunley family may be a sacred existence to you, but in my eyes, they’re just a

trapped beast. The view of Hampton is truly extraordinary. I hope that in 20 minutes, you’ll still be as

imposing as you are now.” After saying that, Philip ended the call. He pointed at the enormous Dunley

Group and said, “Fly there.” The pilot of the helicopter swooped down from a high altitude!

Homer gripped the phone and said solemnly, “Milo, he hung up…” Of course, Milo knew that. With his

hands behind his back, his expression was full of worry as he said, “How

dare he go to Hampton? What exactly is he up to?” Milo was taken aback, completely unable to figure

out Philip’s purpose in doing this. Was he going to threaten

the main Dunley family to impose sanctions on the branch Dunley family in Flower City?

Ridiculous!

The branch family in Flower City were still part of the Dunley family, after all!

How could the main family punish the branch Dunley family in Flower City just because of an outsider

like

him?

Homer shook his head and said, “Milo, I think this kid is very unusual. Since he dares to go to Hampton,

it

means he has some confidence. Should we contact Fifth Uncle? If that kid really has any compromising

material in his hand, it’ll be unfavorable to us.” Homer was very flustered. He did not expect the situation

to develop so fast. Philip’s ability had far exceeded

their initial guesses and speculation. The strength displayed by this guy was terrifying!

Even Flower City could not contain a great figure like him!

After a moment of silence, the corners of Milo’s eyes twitched. With a cold expression, he said, “Contact

Fifth Uncle immediately. We absolutely cannot allow Philip to go look for the main Dunley family!”

Milo also felt a biting chill and sense of crisis. Philip actually escaped from his hands in Flower City and

went

to Hampton!

If this guy really met someone from the main Dunley family, it would definitely not end well for the Dunley

family in Flower City!

Even if it was an interception, Philip must be intercepted and killed outside the gates of the Dunley family

in

Hampton!

After hearing that Milo wanted to contact his fifth uncle, the surrounding subordinates secretly breathed a

sigh

of relief.

The First Heir – Chapter 1802

This fifth uncle was none other than the fifth uncle of the patriarch of the main Dunley family, Winston

Dunley. He was the half-brother of the former patriarch of the main Dunley family. In terms of seniority, he

was the fifth uncle of the current patriarch of the Dunley family, Sterling Dunley. He

was also the family head of the branch Dunley family in Flower City!

Milo and Homer were Winston’s nephews. Homer and Milo’s father died young. Winston’s status in the

main

Dunley family was not low, and he was also quite reputable in Hampton. As soon as Milo said that, he

took out his phone and dialed Winston’s number. The phone rang five or six times before it was picked

up. A calm and aged voice came from the other end, asking, “Milo, is there anything wrong that you’re

calling me at this hour?” Milo was full of compliments with a respectful smile on his face as he said, “Fifth

Uncle, how have you

been?”

“As good as I can be.” The old man on the other end laughed and said, “That’s enough, I know you won’t

call

me for nothing. Just spit it out.” Milo glanced at the nervous Homer beside him and quickly said, “Uncle

Winston, I’m sorry to trouble you but

Homer and I are facing some problems. We want to ask for your help.”

“Problems? Is there something that you can’t solve?” The old man on the other end of the phone

sounded a

little surprised and asked, “What on earth happened that you require my help?” Milo quickly replied,

“Uncle Winston, Hector caused some trouble in Uppercreek and injured a nanny, but we

didn’t expect that the nanny’s employer would relentlessly come after Hector. We’ve offered

compensation of

50 million dollars but the other party refused to budge and even brought some people to Flower City,

turning

the place upside down. He also used some connections to seize all the properties and businesses

belonging to

Homer and me. Even Fred Able has been captured by him.” Hiss!

On the other end of the line, Winston was dressed in a black suit and wearing sunglasses. He was sitting

next

to a pond, fishing. Beside him were several slender and scantily dressed maids who served him. Behind

him

were a few bodyguards in black suits. There were also a number of Maybach parked in the area. Upon

hearing Milo’s words, Winston’s face darkened as he asked, “Have you looked into the other party? A

person who has the ability to seize the properties belonging to you and your brother can’t be unknown.

I’m

quite familiar with Uppercreek. What’s the other party’s name?”

“His name is Philip Clarke,” Milo quickly replied, his attitude excited and earnest. Winston’s eyes

narrowed slightly beneath his sunglasses. He stared at the fish in the pond and said, “I don’t

think I’ve heard of this person in Uppercreek. Are you sure he’s from Uppercreek?” Milo added, “I’m

certain! Hector said that he had a conflict with this kid named Philip Clarke because of the

Nonagon’s talent selection. Moreover, Victor Bell, one of the three underground lords of Uppercreek, is

his

follower. He’s the talent chosen by Sheryl Larson, the daughter of the Larson family.” Winston nodded,

pondered for a while, and asked, “Is the Larson family related to him? Did you find out?”

“Yes, the Larson family is indeed related to him,” Milo replied. Winston pondered for a moment before

saying, “Okay, I understand. I’ll go back to Flower City in a while and

meet this young man named Philip Clarke.”

Hearing that Winston would return to Flower City, Milo was excited but quickly said, “Uncle Winston, you

don’t have to come back. That kid called me a few minutes ago and said that he’s going to the main

family. I’m hoping you’ll stop him!”

“The main family? Hehe, this young man is a little interesting. He actually came all the way to Hampton.”

Winston chuckled and said, “Okay, don’t worry. Since he so arrogantly came to Hampton, I have plenty of

ways to deal with him.”

The First Heir – Chapter 1803

“Okay, we’ll leave this to you,” Milo said before he hung up the phone respectfully. At the same time, he

breathed a sigh of relief. With a triumphant smile, he said to Homer, “Homer, it’s settled. With Uncle

Winston taking action, this matter will come to an end at last.” Homer also let out a breath of relief and

fell heavily on the sofa, covered in a cold sweat. It was finally resolved. With Uncle Winston around, no

matter how capable Philip was, he should not think of making any waves in

Hampton. On the side, Hector also burst out in laughter and said, “Dad, I already told you that everything

will be fine. With Fifth Grandpa around, who can do anything to the Dunley family of Flower City?” As he

said that, he sat on the sofa swaggeringly, crossed his legs, and picked up an apple to munch on. Homer

glared at him fiercely and shouted angrily, “From today onward, you’ll be grounded at home for three

months! After this matter is resolved, I’ll send you out of the country!” With a gloomy face, Hector looked

at Milo and said, “Uncle Milo, I don’t want to go abroad. I…” Milo also glared at him and said, “No way,

you have to listen to your dad this time. You’ve caused us a lot of

trouble. It’s time to send you abroad to gain some experience.” On the other side, Winston was still sitting

by the pond. After he ended the call, he pulled up the fishing rod

abruptly and caught a big fish. The attendant next to him hurried forward to take the fish.

Winston got up, put his hands behind his back, and said with a smile, “Let’s go back. I want to meet this

kid

from out of town to see if he really has some tricks up his sleeve.” Soon, Winston’s car returned to the

Dunley Group building. Meanwhile, Philip’s helicopter had already landed at a landing pad near Dunley

Group. He stepped down from

the helicopter with an upright posture, his clothes billowing from the helicopter’s propellers. The

subordinate

behind him handed him a phone and said, “Young Master Clarke, a call from Mr. Thomas.” Philip took it

and asked, “What’s the matter?” On the other end of the phone, George Thomas replied respectfully,

“Young Master, are you in Hampton?” Philip hummed and replied, “I just arrived. What’s up?” George

quickly said, “Young Master, the situation in the Dunley family of Hampton is very complicated. You

must be careful in everything you do. We’ve just confirmed the news that Milo Dunley has contacted

Winston

Dunley of Hampton. I believe their conversation was about you. This person has some strength and

means. I

suggest you lie low and wait until the person I sent arrives before you act.” George had received a report

from his subordinates ten minutes ago. The young master actually brought a few

of his men to go looking for the Dunley family in Hampton. The Dunley family in Hampton was not

comparable to the Dunley family in Flower City. It was the home base

of the main Dunley family. It was dangerous for the young master to rush over like this!

However, Philip merely smiled and said, “It’s just a little Dunley family, I’m not worried about them. I don’t

have much time and want to make it quick. Since they dared to contact the members of the main Dunley

family, they should be prepared to be destroyed. Okay, that’s enough. I’m heading to Dunley Group right

now.”

After saying that, Philip tossed the phone to the subordinate behind him and ordered, “I want you to

personally

contact Moses Dunley of the Dunley family and tell him that I’m here uninvited.” The subordinate nodded

in response and quickly left. Philip looked at the Dunley Group building not far away which stood tall in

the city. The corner of his mouth

curled up as he said, “Hampton of Charbury. I didn’t think that I’d be here in such a fashion.” After that,

Philip got into a black Cadillac SUV that was prepared for him.

The First Heir – Chapter 1804

The car quickly drove away and headed to the Dunley Group building. In the car, Philip dialed Jowin

Benson’s number and asked, “Do you know Winston Dunley?”

Jowin was dealing with Fred’s affairs in Flower City at the moment. When he received the call from

Philip, he

quickly replied, “Winston Dunley? Young Master Clarke, this person is an important figure in the main

Dunley family with quite a bit of influence in Hampton. He’s the fifth uncle of Sterling Dunley, the current

patriarch of the Dunley family. He’s also the current head of the Dunley family of Flower City, the backer

behind Homer and Milo Dunley, as well as their uncle.” Philip nodded and said, “Okay, I got it.” Then, he

ended the call and said to the man next to him who was on the computer, “Can you contact Winston

Dunley?” The computer expert replied, “Yes, one minute.” A minute later, Philip got Winston’s number

and made the call directly. The phone rang a few times before it was connected. An old voice from the

other end asked, “Who is this?”

“Hello, Winston Dunley. My name is Philip Clarke,” Philip said calmly. “Philip Clarke? Hehe, I didn’t

expect that you would have the means to find my phone number so quickly.” On the other end of the line,

Winston had just gotten out of the Maybach. He walked straight into the Dunley

Group building with two rows of attendants and followers behind him.

Philip sneered and said indifferently, “Winston, you should be a sensible man. Flower City couldn’t do

anything to me, so I came to Hampton. I heard that this is the base of the main Dunley family. Since

things

have progressed to this point, I just want to give you a piece of advice. Don’t interfere in the affairs of

Flower

City or even think of rescuing Homer and his son, as well as Milo.” After pondering for a while, Winston

said flatly, “Young man, I heard that you have some strength and means

so I thought of meeting you personally. But now, it seems that you don’t welcome me at all. Why won’t

you

just forgive and forget? On my account, just forget about this matter. I’ll personally fork out 100 million

dollars as compensation to the nanny. You can also treat it as an apology on behalf of Hector. What do

you

think?”

“Hehehe…” Philip sneered and said, “I’ve heard this sentence three times. When Homer Dunley said

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

this, he offered five

million dollars to deal with this matter. Later, Milo Dunley proposed 50 million dollars. Now, you’re offering

100 million dollars. Do you think that I’m here to bargain with you?”

“Since all of you think that money can solve this matter, should I make an offer as well?” Philip added as

the

corners of his mouth curled into a cold sneer. Winston smiled when he heard this and said, “Okay, what’s

your

price?”

“287.5 billion dollars,” Philip replied. As soon as he said that, Winston fell silent and his entire face turned

pale. 287.5 billion dollars was what the

assets of the entire Dunley family were worth!

This kid actually wanted the entire Dunley family! “Outrageous! Are you determined to go against my

Dunley family?”

Winston’s face darkened and he shouted. A moment later, he calmed down and said, “Young man,

you’re too

much of a show off. I still stand by my words, you should forgive and forget. 100 million dollars is my

highest limit. If you don’t want it, I can only keep you in Hampton!” As soon as he finished speaking,

Philip snorted coldly and said, “I’m afraid you’re not capable of that!”

The First Heir – Chapter 1805

Hearing that, Winston scowled. At this moment, he had entered the building of the Dunley Group. He

took the

gilded private elevator and went straight to the upper floor of the building. Of course, it was not the

topmost floor. The top floor was the office of Sterling Dunley, the patriarch of the entire Dunley family. His

office was on

four floors below the top. In fact, the floor level of the Dunley Group building represented the hierarchical

status and identity of the

owner of the floor in the main Dunley family. Winston Dunley, as the fifth uncle of the patriarch of the

main Dunley family, had a lot of status and influence

in the Dunley family. Moreover, he was mainly in charge of the Dunley family’s foreign trade and export.

At this moment, Winston walked out of the elevator and pushed open the gilded door of his office. He

was

angry, and with a sneer on his face, he walked to the French windows where he took a cup of coffee from

the

maid. He said solemnly, “Young man, since you said I have no capability, let’s see what kind of waves

you

can create in Hampton.” At this moment, a row of men and women in black suits stood behind him, fully

equipped with firearms and

weapons. They had hurried over after receiving Winston’s order. On the phone, Philip said coldly, “You

should take a good look, then. Even if Hampton is the tiger’s den, I’ll

turn it upside down and create enough waves to drown you. Today, I shall stand by my word. If you dare

to

intervene in the affairs of the Dunley family of Flower City, I don‘t mind pulling you down from your

current

position! Whoever stands in my way shall die!”

After Philip said that, Winston laughed aloud and said, “Philip, you’re very cocky. I didn’t believe it when

Milo told me about it, but now, I’ve seen it with my own eyes. I didn’t think the younger generation would

act

so arrogantly now. Now that you’ve made such a harsh declaration, I’ll also give you a word of advice.

Hampton of Charbury is a solid wall. No matter who you are, it’s impossible to touch the foundation of the

Dunley family of Charbury! If you insist on taking this path, you’ll die miserably!”

Just after Winston was done speaking, Philip said, “Very well. I’ll send you a big gift later, then. I hope

you

won’t be too surprised when you see it.” Having said that, Philip ended the call and said to the man next

to him, “Go and prepare a big gift for Winston

Dunley.”

“Yes,” his subordinate said. At the same time, Philip’s car had arrived at the entrance of the Dunley

Group building. He did not rush to get out of the car but looked around for a while before saying to the

driver, “Go to the hotel

first.” Soon, the car left the Dunley Group building and drove straight to a nearby hotel. Winston smiled

tauntingly. With one hand in his trouser pocket, he held a coffee cup in the other. He took a

sip and said, “Interesting. This little fellow named Philip Clarke has really sparked my interest.” With that

said, he turned to the dozen men and women in black suits behind him, ordering, “Let’s begin. I

want to know everything about him, including his businesses, sphere of influence, whether he has a

backer, and his family members. Within ten minutes, give me a report.”

“Yes, Mr. Dunley.”

The men and women in black suits quickly turned on their computers or immediately contacted the

underground forces. An invisible force quickly spread from the Dunley Group building to the outside

world. At the same time far away in Penhart, in the conference room of a company building somewhere.

At this moment, more than a dozen people in black suits were busily operating computers and other

electronic

equipment. An elderly man with a walking cane stood with a worried face in front of the large French

window. This

person was none other than George Thomas.

The First Heir – Chapter 1806

“Immediately send some people to Hampton by any means necessary. Whether by air or land, send the

most

elite combatants and have them use the most advanced equipment. Make sure to protect the young

master‘s

safety! If anything happens to him, I’ll hold all of you accountable!” George shouted coldly before hanging

up

the phone. Just at this moment, one of his subordinates was staring at the computer before he got up

and reported, “Mr. Thomas, the other party is trying to use their power to collect information about the

young master.” George sneered and said, “Hehe, this bunch of small fries have no idea what real power

is! Do people like

them have the right to dig out information about the young master? Wishful thinking! Spread out false

information about the young master!”

“Yes!” Very quickly, everyone started operating. Ten minutes later, Winston’s people found first hand

information about Philip. “Mr. Winston, we got it!” an employee stood up excitedly and exclaimed.

Winston hummed and took the information that was just printed out and handed to him by the

subordinate. After looking through it, he nodded and said, “I thought he was an amazing person but he

turns out to be from

the Clarke family of the Riversouth region. I’ve heard of this Clarke Group before. They have some

influence

in the capital city but they’ve apparently gone bankrupt. I didn’t expect them to have some power left.

This is

interesting.” Then, Winston tossed the information in his hand on the coffee table and said with a

confident smile, “Since

we’ve found out about the other party’s background, let’s carry out the plan. We’ll let this Philip Clarke

know

the strength of the Dunley family in Hampton, Charbury!”

“Yes, Mr. Dunley!” The subordinates received the order and quickly got busy. Meanwhile, Winston stood

in front of the French windows with a smug smile on his face. He took out his

phone and dialed Milo’s number. Milo was anxiously waiting in the villa for his fifth uncle’s call. Suddenly,

his phone rang. He quickly

answered it and respectfully said, “Uncle Winston, how is it going? Have things turned out well?” On the

phone, Winston said confidently, “Milo, this kid is not as powerful as you said. I got someone to find

out all his information. Don’t worry, I’ll solve this problem for you.”

“Really? Thank you so much, Uncle Winston!” Milo quickly nodded in gratitude. Winston also smiled and

said, “Alright, I’ll deal with this kid first and call you again later.” After saying that, Winston ended the call.

At this moment, a panicked assistant rushed in from the door and said, “Mr. Dunley, you have a delivery

downstairs.”

“Delivery?” Winston frowned and asked, “I didn’t order anything, did I? Who sent it?” That assistant

replied, “It was sent by a person named Philip Clarke. They said that the name would ring a bell

with you.” Hearing that, Winston said with a smile, “Alright.”

After that, he stepped out of the office and quickly took the elevator to the first floor of the Dunley Group

building. A group of people had arrived at the main entrance. A van was parked there. The delivery

person held a list and asked, “Who’s Winston Dunley?” Winston walked out and said, “That’s me.” After

that, he looked at the van and said, “Open it. I want to see what big gift this kid has sent to me.” Upon

hearing this, the delivery person called out to his colleagues and they opened the back door of the van.

With a loud bang, the door of the van opened. The crowd gathered at the entrance of Dunley Group was

all dumbfounded and full of shock after seeing what

was unloaded from the van!

As for Winston, his face flushed red and he clenched his fists. He roared in anger, “Damn you, Philip

Clarke!”

In front of everyone’s eyes was a brand new casket painted in black. It was placed at the entrance of the

Dunley Group building.

The First Heir – Chapter 1807

At the entrance of the Dunley Group building, the people who followed Winston out were all

dumbfounded as

they stared at the scene in front of them!

A casket!

A very good casket!

Was it for Winston Dunley?

Who had the audacity to do that?

How dare they send a casket to Winston, the fifth uncle of the Dunley family’s patriarch?

Hiss!

At the scene, everyone looked shocked and no one dared to make a sound. That was because at this

moment, Winston’s expression was so cold and his hands were tightly clenched into

fists. With his eyes wide open, he stared a t the casket placed in front of him. After a while, he suddenly

laughed and said, “Very well, this is interesting. A junior actually dares to send

such a generous gift to an old man like me. Very interesting, indeed! It has been many years since

someone

dares to mess with me like this!” After saying that, Winston sneered menacingly. He turned around,

waved his hand, and said to the attendants

behind him, “Immediately launch economic warfare against Clarke Group in the Riversouth region! I want

them to go bankrupt in the next half an hour! I don’t believe that Philip won’t go on his knees to beg for

mercy

by then!”

Everyone intuitively felt that Winston was really furious this time. “Yes, Mr. Dunley!” Everyone nodded in

response, quickly returned to the building, and began to launch an attack on Clarke Group

of the Riversouth region!

The first wave would be targeted at Clarke Group’s import and export trade. At this moment, Winston

displayed his overwhelming tactics and the authority of his huge trade empire. Soon, nearly half of

Clarke Group’s trading partners were monopolized. All this happened in just ten minutes. “Mr. Dunley,

we’ve taken down half of Clarke Group’s trade partners in the Riversouth region. The Clarke

family in the Riversouth region is probably in a frenzy right now.” One of his assistants was holding a

report and stood respectfully in front of Winston with a sneer on his face. Winston took the document and

glanced at it. With a smug smile on his face, he scoffed. “Hehe, how dare this

small Clarke family of Riversouth challenge my Dunley family of Charbury? They’re in over their heads!

Contact Philip immediately. I want to know how he feels after learning about the current situation.”

Winston jeered ferociously. He loved the game of hunter and prey. Whenever he saw the begging eyes

of his

prey and heard their humble voices, he felt soothed and completely exhilarated!

Meanwhile, in the most expensive suite of the five-star Intercontinental Hotel near Dunley Group, Philip

was

standing in front of the French windows and looking at the towering Dunley Group building across the

street!

This building was extraordinarily imposing, soaring straight into the sky. Sure enough, the Dunley family

of

Charbury was not a small potato. They had nearly 300 billion dollars in assets!

It was a business empire. At this moment, a female assistant with a good figure and wearing a red

professional suit swayed her curvy

hips as she walked in after pushing the door open, her high heels clicking against the floor. “Hello, Young

Master, I’m the person in charge of the Clarke family’s matters in Hampton, Maia Harp. I

received the message from Butler Thomas and came here to see you. May I know what your orders

are?” Maia stood graciously behind Philip, bowed slightly, and folded her hands in front of her lower

abdomen, exuding a matured poise. Her delicate face and the ponytail on her head could make any man

fall for her. She had a perfect figure with

curves in all the right places. She had a tiny waist, as well as straight and slender legs. She was all

dressed up,

looking clean and tidy.

The First Heir – Chapter 1808

Philip turned around, looked at the woman, and said with a smile, “Old George has told me about you.

You’ve

been very capable.” Maia Harp was the Clarke family’s person in charge of Hampton and also the chief

president in Charbury, as

arranged by the Clarke family. She was only 28 years old this year but she was already a successful

career woman. She was in charge of all

the Clarke family’s businesses and staffing arrangements in Charbury. She may be a woman but she

was more

capable than a man!

Otherwise, the Clarke family would not have appointed her as the chief president of the Charbury region.

“Thank you for the compliment, Young Master.” Maia smiled, her eyebrows arching like half crescents.

She

added, “Butler Thomas has already briefed me about the purpose of your visit to Hampton this time. I’ll

definitely carry out your arrangements. Please rest assured in giving me your orders.” Philip nodded and

asked, “How much do you know about the Dunley family in Charbury?” Maia replied without hesitation,

“The Dunley family is the king in the entire Charbury area. No one dares to

mess with them. The economic development of the entire Charbury area is driven by the Dunley family.

No

one can rock the position of the Dunley family in Charbury.” Philip nodded as he stroked his chin, saying,

“Continue.” Maia continued, “The current patriarch of the Dunley family is Sterling Dunley. He got the

position of

patriarch after a coup d’état. He secretly joined forces with his third brother, Spencer Dunley, and

snatched

the position of patriarch that should have belonged to the eldest son of the Dunley family. Therefore, any

gossip about Sterling and Spencer in the Charbury area is taboo. Moreover, the Dunley family employed

iron

handed methods to handle this matter, exiling all the people who were involved back then. The eldest

son of

the Dunley family, Godfrey Dunley, got both his legs broken. He has been put under house arrest for 20

years

now.”

“Sterling Dunley and Spencer Dunley? What do you know about these two people?” Philip frowned and

asked. Maia replied, “Sterling is a talented prodigy. Since taking over the position of patriarch, the Dunley

family has

undergone a renewal. The development of the Dunley family’s power has also become very rapid. In just

ten

years, they have become a great clan in the mainland and are on equal footing with the Wallis family in

Golden City. Moreover, according to the news from Butler Thomas, the former Dunley family was also a

behemoth. They were one of the six great clans back then, sitting at the same conference table with the

Clarke

family to discuss and work together. They were also a frequent visitor to the round table. Only later did

the

Dunley family go through several changes and fall into decline. However, the foundation of the Dunley

family

is still here. Sterling Dunley still has grand ambitions. The lord once evaluated Sterling as having the

potential

of a monarch.” Upon hearing this, Philip frowned. It turned out that the Dunley family had such origins.

They were even once on par with the Clarke family. No wonder Moses Dunley knew some things he did

not

back then. It seemed that he had underestimated the Dunley family of Charbury. This was no different

from the ancient feudal lords. “What about Spencer? What is this person like?” Philip asked. Maia

frowned and said with a tense breath, “Young Master, there’s not much information about Spencer

Dunley in Charbury, only a few words here and there. Based on the news received so far, Spencer was

the

mastermind and implementer of that coup d’état. He’s a refined person but employs harsh means. He

was the

one who broke the legs of Godfrey Dunley, the eldest son of the Dunley family. It’s rumored that Spencer

is

a literary general and also the secret pawn kept by the Dunley family. Some people also say that Sterling

is just

the figure in the forefront while Spencer is the figure behind the scenes. All in all, Spencer is not an easy

person to mess with.”

The First Heir – Chapter 1809 Spencer Dunley. Philip frowned and fell silent. He turned around and

looked at the Dunley Group building that seemed to shoot up into the sky. It seemed that he could almost

see a figure standing behind a window somewhere on the highest floor, looking back at him too. “If I

make a move against the Dunley family, what are my chances of winning?” Philip asked. Maia frowned

and thought for a moment before saying, “Based on the assets and personnel you can currently use,

only 40%. After all, this is the Dunley family of Charbury, not the Clarke family of Arcadia Island. The

strength and power of the Clarke family are weakened by half here. Besides, the Clarke family has a

cooperative relationship with the Dunley family. I’m afraid the elders in the family won’t agree if you want

to take action against the Dunley family.” “Only 40%?” Philip’s eyes were cold, and there was slight

displeasure in his tone. “What if I bypass the Clarke family and strike out against the Dunley family

myself?” Philip asked as he turned around and stared at Maia with a searing gaze. Maia was a little

baffled by Philip’s question. What did it mean to bypass the Clarke family? Did the young master have

his own power and forces? “Young Master, I don’t understand your meaning. Do you want to deal with

the Dunley family on your own without using the power of the Clarke family? That’s a big no-no! The

Dunley family is not as easy to deal with as you think. You must not take any risks.” Maia was shocked. If

the young master took the risk of going up against the Dunley family alone, she would not be able to

bear the consequences if anything happened to him. Philip smiled lightly and said, “Don’t be nervous. I’m

just asking.” Maia breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little flustered when she looked into Philip’s

clear eyes. What exactly did the young master plan on doing? “How much do you know about Winston

Dunley?” Philip asked again. Maia quickly replied, “Winston is Sterling’s fifth uncle and has some

prestige in the main Dunley family. Winston was one of Sterling’s allies during his rise to power, so he

has been doing very well in the Dunley family over the years. The Dunley family in Flower City is also

Winston’s fiefdom. He’s the head of Flower City and represents the face of Flower City. If you make a

move against him, the Dunley family will definitely intervene. Therefore, it’s better to think twice about

dealing with the Dunley family.” After saying this, Maia stood aside obediently, waiting for Philip’s next

question. However, Philip snorted and said, “Are you saying that I can’t make a move against the Dunley

family yet?” With a complicated expression, Maia said, “Considerng your safety, I don’t recommend that

you take action against the Dunley family now. At the very least, you should wait for the people arranged

by Butler Thomas to enter Hampton before you make a move.” “How long will it take for the old man’s

people to get here?” Philip asked. Maia replied, “It’ll take three hours at the latest.” “Three hours?” Philip

scowled. He glanced at the time and said, “No, I don’t have that much time to wait. I have to rush back to

Uppercreek. I’ll give you one hour. If no one arrives after one hour, I’ll personally charge into the Dunley

family.” “Young Master, please don’t…” Maia was anxious and quickly tried to dissuade him. However,

Philip just glared at her and said, “Don’t try to stop me.” Maia was startled by the look in Philip’s eyes.

She quickly stepped back and said, “Yes, everything we’ll go according to your plans, Young Master.”

The First Heir – Chapter 1810 At that very moment, Philip’s phone rang. It was a call from George. His

respectful voice sounded from the other end of the phone. “Young Master, Winston has made a move

against the Clarke family in Riversouth and already monopolized half of their partners. Should we

continue with the next plan?” “Go ahead,” Philip said coldly. George quickly responded and said, “Young

Master, do listen to my advice. For the time being, don’t target the Dunley family. Wait for the people I’ve

arranged to arrive in Hampton before you…” However, before George could finish his words, Philip

interrupted him and said, “I don’t have much time. Hurry up.” “Yes.” George was helpless. He ended the

call and said to the subordinates around him, “Let’s begin.” Not long after Philip ended the call, he

received a call from Winston. As soon as the call was connected, Winston’s hearty laughter sounded

from the other end. He said, “Young man, I’ve received your generous gift. I like it very much. For this, I

have also prepared a gift for you in return.” Philip chuckled and said, “Oh? I wonder what kind of gift it

is?” Winston laughed and said, “The Clarke family of Riversouth, is that your backing? But unfortunately,

the Clarke family has fallen and Clarke Group in the capital city has also gone bankrupt. Your Clarke

family is now an empty shell. Ten minutes ago, I already took down half of your trade partners. How

about that? Are you starting to feel the fear now? Haha, young man, you’re still too young and don’t

understand many things. I’ll give you a chance to admit your mistake. As long as you kneel down and

apologize in front of the Dunley Group building now, as well as give me ten billion dollars in

compensation, I’ll leave your Clarke family a way out. What do you think?” Winston was overjoyed. He

sat on the sofa and laughed heartily. He had set his eyes on the Clarke family of Riversouth and the tens

of billions of assets. This small Clarke family dared to challenge the Dunley family. They really did not

know their own strength! Unexpectedly, Philip only snorted and said, “Winston Dunley, isn’t it a little too

soon for you to be happy? Who told you that my Clarke family is only this strong? Moreover, regarding

those trade partners you’ve monopolized, aren’t you worried that something will go wrong?” Hearing this,

the smile on Winston’s face disappeared abruptly and he asked gravely, “What do you mean by that?”

Winston suddenly realized that he might have fallen into a trap. After all, he managed to take down half

of the other party’s partners in less than ten minutes, which was really a bit too fast. At first, Winston

simply thought that his forces were too overwhelming, but after listening to Philip, he could not help

smelling a hint of conspiracy. Philip chuckled and said, “Winston, you shouldn’t have taken too much on

your plate. If you eat too much at once, it’s easy to get indigestion. When the time is right, you’ll receive

the news.” As soon as Philip said that, several assistants rushed into Winston’s office and shouted, “Mr.

Dunley, it’s not good! Something has happened!” Winston frowned, and his face was gloomy. He asked

in a cold voice, “What’s the matter?” The assistants glanced at each other and replied, “Mr. Dunley, we’re

facing problems with the trading partners we snatched from the Clarke family. They’re blacklisted by the

country and abroad. Now, all related agencies are tracking them and they’ll soon be on to us.” “What?!”

Winston panicked and stood up abruptly. He glared at the assistants and roared, “Why are you still

standing here? Hurry up and terminate all cooperation with them!” “It’s too late. We’ve acquired and

merged with all of them. Now, it’s conservatively estimated that we’ll lose more than ten billion dollars.”

One of the assistant’s faces was full of anxiety and panic. The First Heir – Chapter 1811 “What? A loss of

ten billion dollars?!” Winston yelled as he felt the world spinning around him. He slumped back on the

sofa. The several assistants were trembling all over. The female assistant in the office hurriedly took out

quick acting heart reliever pills for Winston. After catching his breath with much difficulty, Winston’s face

grew tense. While exuding a biting chill, he roared, “Cut them off! Cut off all the merged partners! We

can’t let the loss grow bigger!” After saying this, Winston held his forehead, his face looking exceedingly

pale. At the same time, he also remembered the phone that was on the coffee table. He quickly picked it

up and said angrily into the phone, “Philip, did you plan all of this?” On the other end of the phone,

Philip’s faint mocking laugh could be heard. He said, “Winston, as I just said, be careful of getting

indigestion. This loss of ten billion dollars should be enough of a lesson to you, right?” After hearing

these words, Winston exploded with anger. He got up angrily and roared, “Young man, you’re too

arrogant! Do you think a loss of ten billion dollars would affect the Dunley family? Hehe, it’s only ten

billion. Consider it a lesson I paid for! After this, I’ll let you and your Clarke family of Riversouth realize

the true strength of the Dunley family! I hope that when the time comes, you won‘t go on your knees to

beg me!” Winston was livid! Would he not feel the pain of losing ten billion dollars? Of course, he would.

However, this was an irreversible situation. After this, he would employ iron handed methods against the

Clarke family of Riversouth. He must swallow all their assets to make up for his loss just now! However,

Philip smiled leisurely and said, “Winston, I have to remind you not to be delusional. Again, I’ll give you

one last piece of advice. Don’t try to help Homer and his son. Don’t even think about dealing with me.

Otherwise, you’ll pay the most painful price!” Winston snorted and said, “Very well. No one has dared to

say such things to me in more than ten years. You’re the first and destined to be the last!” “Oh, STFU.

The coffin is ready for you and you can get inside at any time.” After Philip said this, he ended the call,

tossed the phone to Maia, and said, “Come with me to Dunley Group.” Maia’s exquisite face was full of

shock. She wanted to discourage him, but he directly walked past her. She did not have time to say

anything and could only catch up to Philip while in her high heels. Winston’s face was turning all shades

of colors at this moment. He turned his head and asked the assistant in a cold voice, “What does STFU

mean?” When the assistant heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. He hemmed and hawed for a

long time before he stammered, “Uh, Mr. Dunley, this is internet slang. It’s quite rude.” Crash! Winston

angrily smashed the phone in his hand to the floor and roared, “Well done! A young man who doesn’t

know any better! Immediately launch an attack on the Clarke family of Riversouth! I want them to go

bankrupt immediately! Now!” Winston was hysterical. His subordinates quickly sprang into action. This

floor of the entire Dunley Group building seemed particularly busy. They had only one purpose today to

target the Clarke family of Riversouth and drive them into bankruptcy! However, as time went by, many

people began to notice problems. It was because no matter how they launched a capital war against the

Clarke family’s trade or business, the other party could always counter accurately and even retaliate,

catching them by surprise! The First Heir – Chapter 1812 “Mr. Dunley, things are not looking good. The

information we found out about Philip seems to be wrong. This Clarke family of Riversouth is not as

simple as we thought. No matter what we do to them, they can retaliate accurately and also block our

trade and business.” An assistant panicked at this moment and quickly reported to Winston. Winston

became solemn when he heard that. He rushed into the work area and glanced at their computer

screens and the analysis report. Ten billion dollars had been used to tackle the Clarke family. However,

not only were they unable to recover the ten billion dollars but the money was firmly trapped in the

market by the other party! “What the hell is going on? Aren’t you guys known as the best market

regulators? Why is this happening?” Winston was angry and asked the question with a roar. One of the

managers quickly stepped forward and explained, “Mr. Dunley, the situation has changed. We have to

reinvestigate everything about the Clarke family. I suspect that the information we found earlier is all

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

false. Judging from the current situation, it seems that all the industrial and trading companies of the

Clarke family that we’ve been targeting are empty shells. It’s as if the other party dug a pit and waited for

us to fill it up with money before they ensnared everything.” Hearing this, Winston looked grave. He

turned his head to the assistant next to him and barked, “Investigate! Check all the information about

Philip Clarke!” If he lost another ten billion dollars, he would have to resign and return to Flower City! As

soon as he finished his words, another employee shouted, “Oh no, Mr. Dunley! The other party has

launched a counterattack. They’re targeting our trading ports and partners! Look, our stock index is

plummeting!” Hearing that, a group of people rushed to the computer and glanced at the stock index. It

had already dropped by two points! Based on the total trading assets under Winston’s control, this was

an indirect drop of several hundred million dollars! “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and stimulate the

stock market!” Winston roared. However, as soon as he finished speaking, a dozen phone calls suddenly

rang out in the office! After more than a dozen employees picked up the calls and gained an

understanding of the situation, they quickly reported, “Mr. Dunley, our trading partners are requesting to

cancel their orders and terminate all cooperation.” “What?” Winston panicked and gasped. How could

this be? “Why do they want to cancel all orders? Why do they want to terminate all cooperation with us?

We’re Dunley Group! Don’t they want to live anymore? Are they not afraid of our retaliation?” Winston

said angrily. The manager quickly replied, “Mr. Dunley, we don’t know the exact situation now. I’ll check it

out immediately. There must be someone behind this.” Winston was flustered when he heard this. With

such intensive counterattacks and offensives, could it be Philip Clarke behind this? Five minutes later. “I

found it! The Clarke family are the ones manipulating this behind the scenes!” The manager returned and

asked, “Mr. Dunley, what should we do now? We’ve already lost 20 billion dollars. If we continue to fight,

we will have to invest at least another 50 billion dollars. If we stop here, although we can stabilize the

situation after this, we won’t be able to recover the loss of 20 billion dollars.” Winston’s face was already

gloomy at this moment. Full of anger, he shouted, “Invest! I refuse to believe that this little Clarke family

in Riversouth has the ability to go up against the Dunley family! Notify the finance department to

immediately allocate 50 billion dollars! I’ll take down this Clarke family today!” Right at this moment, an

assistant rushed in and shouted, “Mr. Dunley, a person named Philip Clarke requests to see you

downstairs.” The First Heir – Chapter 1813 Hearing Philip’s name, Winston nearly blew his top. He

turned around and shouted, “How dare he come here? He’s a brat who doesn’t know his limits! I want to

see how amazing he is to dare challenge the Dunley family!” After saying that, Winston quickly led a

dozen people to the conference hall on the first floor of the building! At this moment, Philip was sitting

leisurely on the sofa, sipping the coffee brewed by the receptionist. Maia Harp, the woman with a

glamorous figure, stood respectfully beside him. This woman was the focus wherever she went. Her

straight and slender legs, coupled with her curvy waist and hips, made many male employees drool.

Winston brought a large group of people with him and soon came to the front. His gaze was instantly

locked on Philip who was sitting on the sofa while sipping coffee. Then, his eyes shifted to Maia who was

next to him. Maia Harp? Why was this woman here too? Winston knew Maia. She was a strong career

woman in Hampton, Charbury! She had a lot of tricks up her sleeve and a scheming mind. Plus, the

capital and power behind her were also very terrifying. With the influence of the Dunley family in

Charbury, they should be able to easily recruit a woman like Maia. Indeed, the Dunley family had tried

recruiting her before but was rejected. Later, the Dunley family wanted to target Maia and make things

difficult for her. However, this order was very quickly dismissed by the patriarch. He said that Maia could

not be touched. As for the reason, no one knew. Since then, Maia’s strength and status in Hampton rose

to an unprecedented high. At this moment, such a woman was standing respectfully beside this young

man. This made Winston a little apprehensive, and his face grew tense. He angrily walked over, stared at

Philip coldly, and asked solemnly, “Are you Philip Clarke?” Philip raised his eyebrows and looked at the

group of people who had just arrived. The person taking the lead was an old man in his 60s. He was

high-spirited, looking majestic and imposing. This must be Winston Dunley. “Yes,” Philip said flatly.

Winston sneered when he heard that and said, “Hehe, I thought you were an amazing person with

supernatural abilities. Now it seems that you’re just an ordinary person. Young man, I’m giving you a

formal warning. Stop what you’ re doing immediately and return the 20 billion dollars that the Dunley

family lost! Otherwise, I’ll definitely let you know the consequences of offending the Dunley family!”

Winston was full of anger and showed a ferocious sneer. This young man dared to trespass into the

tiger’s den without permission. He was simply in over his head! Where did he think this was? This was

the tallest building in Hampton, the landmark of Dunley Group! Since he had come here, it would not be

that easy for him to get out. However, Philip just looked at Winston calmly. Then, he slowly put down the

coffee cup, got up, and put his hands in his trouser pockets. He looked at Winston indifferently before

saying with a smile, “Winston Dunley, these words of yours are just enough to scare a three year old kid.

I’m not afraid of you. You should take the 20 billion dollars as a warning. Now, it’s my turn to give you a

piece of advice. Forget about standing up for Homer Dunley and Milo Dunley. Otherwise, I’ll be the first to

pull you down from your current position! Don’t doubt my strength. Even if this huge Dunley family

offends me today, I can make all of you collapse and turn into ashes within one day!” Hiss! The crowd

gasped. What an arrogant tone! How dare he say such disrespectful words?! Not only did he want to

deal with Winston but he also wanted to destroy the Dunley family within one day. This was simply

wishful thinking! The First Heir – Chapter 1814 The Dunley family was the most elite family in Charbury.

They were even ranked at the top in the country! Even the strength of some hidden affluent families

might not be able to compare to the Dunley family. To be exact, the Dunley family was ranked among the

eight major families in the country! Moreover, the strength of the Dunley family was already on a par with

the Wallis family of Golden City. A year ago, the Wallis family of Golden City was recognized as the

number one family in the country. Of course, these so-called rankings did not include the Clarke family of

Arcadia Island. After all, the Clarke family of Arcadia Island was an existence not generally known by

ordinary people. Naturally, the power of the Clarke family was also not known to others. The public knew

about the Wallis and Denver families of Golden City, the Dunley family of Charbury, the Harrison family of

Glenford, the Joo, Williams, and Jackman families of the capital city, and the Larson family of Fernvale.

However, no one knew about the Clarke family of Arcadia Island. These were the eight largest families in

the country and were currently recognized as the top eight families! No one dared to mess with them. No

one dared to steal the limelight from them! Even some hidden families would treat these families with

courtesy and awe. Of course, such hidden families had their own power and background. They were well

capable of turning the tide. For example, the Garcia family of the capital city was not in the ranking but

they had impressive strength and status. They were one of the four hidden families in the capital city.

Now, this small Clarke family of Riversouth actually dared to say such big words. They were simply

looking for death! “Outrageous! Is this how you should be talking to Mr. Dunley? I order you to apologize

to Mr. Dunley

immediately! Otherwise, be prepared for the consequences!” An assistant next to Winston quickly

stepped forward and pointed at Philip’s nose as he chastised angrily. This was a good opportunity to

stand out. If he could capture Winston’s attention, he would have more

chances to rise to the top in the future. However, Philip tilted his head blandly. His eyes stared coldly and

resolutely at the assistant who scolded him. The next second, a meaningful smile appeared on his mouth

as he said, “I’m talking to Mr. Dunley. Is it your

turn to interrupt?” The assistant was annoyed by Philip’s arrogant attitude and immediately yelled angrily,

“Who the hell do you

think you are? How dare you talk to Mr. Dunley? You’re in the Dunley Group building…” However, before

he finished his words, there was a loud sound. Philip had swung his hand and slapped the

assistant violently across the face. The other party staggered from that slap. Several posterior molars in

his

mouth were knocked out!

Ouch!

With a scream, the assistant covered his bloodied mouth. He stared at Philip with disbelief and anger

while

roaring, “How dare you hit me? Mr. Dunley, this kid is simply too arrogant I’ll immediately get the security

guards to throw him out!” After saying that, he was about to call for the security guards.

However, Winston glared at him angrily and shouted, “Enough! Get out!” Hearing that, the assistant

shuddered. He dared not say anything else and silently retreated to the side. After that, Winston looked

at Philip intently. With an indifferent smile at the corner of his mouth, he said, “Young man, aren’t you

being too disrespectful by hitting my people in the Dunley Group building? Or do

you see the Dunley family as small fries?” This sentence revealed Winston’s anger!

This young man’s cockiness was simply too audacious!

Philip chuckled and said, “Your subordinate was too impolite, so I merely taught him a lesson. It’s not too

much, right?” Winston’s face darkened, and he could not find a reason to refute. However, as a strong

headed person, he

immediately said angrily, “Even if he wasn’t polite, he’s still one of my people. I should be the one to

punish

him, not an outsider like you!”

“Oh? Since I’ve already done it, what are you going to do about it?” Philip shrugged and looked at

Winston calmly.

The First Heir – Chapter 1815

Winston snorted and said, “Apologize to my man and pay 20 billion dollars in medical compensation. If

you

do that, we’ll move on from this matter. Otherwise, don’t dream of walking out of Dunley Group today!”

After saying that, Winston’s face was full of sneers. Hearing this, the assistant behind Winston was

immediately moved to tears and exclaimed, “Mr. Dunley…”

It turned out that Mr. Dunley valued him that much. Winston looked back at the assistant and said, “Don’t

worry, I’ll handle this matter for you.” Then, he looked at Philip and asked, “Isn’t this a reasonable

request?” Philip chuckled and said, “Winston, you really know how to do business. You’re demanding 20

billion dollars

for one slap. Do you really think that I’m a pushover and you have the upper hand against me?” This old

man came up with a good plan. Winston laughed and said, “From the moment you stepped into Dunley

Group, your outcome was already

decided. Young man, you’re too arrogant and can’t see the mess you’ve gotten yourself into. In Hampton

and

in Charbury, the Dunley family is king! No matter what earth shattering powers you have, everything is in

vain here! Only the orders of the Dunley family can be carried out here! Don’t blame me for not

reminding

you. Right now, using money to buy your way out is your only choice. Of course, if you choose to kneel

down

and offer 20 billion dollars, I might spare the Clarke family of Riversouth. However, your Clarke family will

have to submit to my Dunley family in the future. Is that clear?” Winston’s face was full of taunting smiles.

He had this in the bag. ‘Sooner or later, this kid would have to kneel down and beg for mercy.’

However, Philip shrugged when he heard the words. He turned to look at Maia and asked, “What do you

think?” Only then did Winston and the others turn their attention to Maia Harp once more. This woman

was

unbelievably beautiful. She carried the charm of a mature woman. Everyone had already noticed her

when they came over just now, but because of Philip, they did not manage

to take a closer look. Only now did they notice that this woman was actually goddess Maia Harp of

Hampton! “Holy sh*t! Isn’t she Maia Harp? Why is she standing behind that kid?”

“I can’t figure it out either. Isn’t it rumored that Maia belongs to an affluent family? The power and

background behind her is not something that ordinary people can mess with.”

“What? Is it possible that the force behind her is this kid?” For a while, many employees of Dunley Group

who were watching from afar were discussing this topic in low

voices. It was mainly because Maia’s fame in Hampton was too great. At this moment, the strong career

woman bowed to Philip respectfully and said, “Young Master, I think

they’re dreaming.”

“Haha!” Philip laughed, looked at Winston, and said, “Mr. Dunley, did you hear that? My assistant says

you’re

dreaming.”

Winston raised his brows as his eyes fell on Maia. He said with a small smile, “Miss Harp, what are you

doing?

Is it possible that you know this kid?” Maia smiled and straightened up, revealing the perfect curves of

her body. Her every action and smile could

make all the men present go crazy. “Mr. Dunley, I’m sorry. Mr. Philip Clarke is my young master. I’m his

assistant during his trip here to

Hampton,” Maia said seriously. Hiss!

Everyone gasped aloud when they heard that. What?!

Maia actually called that kid her young master? Goodness gracious!

What kind of background did that kid have?

Winston was also taken aback, and his face looked unpleasant. That was because he knew some things

about

Maia’s identity. She belonged to an affluent family!

It was that family that placed her in Hampton for training, and she was also put in charge of the family’s

businesses in the entire Charbury area. Even the patriarch dared not mess with this family. Now, Maia

had just referred to Philip as her young master. Could it be that Philip Clarke was the young master of

that family?

The First Heir – Chapter 1816

However, how could that be?

Was he not a member of the Clarke family in Riversouth?

For a moment, Winston was flustered!

If Philip was really the young master of an affluent family, Winston was essentially digging his own grave!

Of

course, it would also explain why every move he made against Philip had ended in failure. Was there a

mistake in the information they found?

However, now that he was caught between a rock and a hard place, Winston could not give up so easily.

He

could only fight to the end!

Thus, Winston snorted and said to Philip coldly, “It’s interesting that you could get Maia Harp to assist

you. Even so, I still stand by my word. The Dunley family of Charbury is not an existence you can easily
