The First Heir

Chapter 23

Philip’s expression was cold, his tone chilling. With his stern appearance, his body was exuding a strong murderous intent!

Jade was stunned. She backed away a few steps by instinct. This… this brat had a more powerful aura than Brother Drogo! And it was not just a little bit. It was so heavy that she found it hard to breathe. Just who exactly was he?

Quickly steadying herself, Jade’s eyes turned cold as a smirk appeared on her face. “Sister Anna, this brat of yours is just arrogant on a whole new level. Doesn’t he know that this is Brother Drogo’s turf?”

Anna smiled instead. Drogo Hank? So what? Mr. Clarke can lay this Celestial Club to waste with just one sentence. Even if Drogo were here today, once he knows of Philip’s identity, he would have to prostrate and ask for Mr. Clarke’s forgiveness.

“Jade Quinley, I’m warning you, if you don’t want to get yourself in any trouble, lead the way now! Or else, even Jesus can’t save you!” Anna, too, was running out of patience because she could distinctly feel the cold aura from Philip getting denser.

Anna, who was known for her elegance and mature personality, strutted over to the wine rack, grabbed a bottle of wine, and smashed it at one of the gang member’s heads who was here to look after the club.

Blood immediately splattered everywhere! The guy held his head that was dripping with blood as he howled on the floor.

“Anna Carter, you’ve crossed the line! This place belongs to Hanks, not Zander!” Jade’s expression changed as she flared up.

“I’ll ask you one more time, where is the room?” Anna pointed the broken bottle at Jade. The sharp edges of the glass were directly in front of Jade’s fair and delicate face.

This frightened Jade. She had never seen Anna this irritated. This was Brother Drogo’s turf, so her actions were blatantly provoking a feud between Theo Zander and Drogo Hanks!

“Sister Jade!” In an instant, a group of gang members who were here to look after the club rushed out, surrounding both Philip and Anna. They all held something in their hands, ready to attack both of them. Each member had a vicious look in their eyes, wanting to tear both Anna and Philip apart this instant. The situation was dangerous as the temperature in the atmosphere plummeted.

However, Philip, who was being surrounded by gangsters, remained indifferent. There was no fear in his expression, and his deep-set eyes were filled with blazing fire.

Anna, who had been following Theo for eight years, had seen too much of these situations. She could not be any calmer. “What’s wrong? Are you trying to prove that I, Anna Carter, can’t win against numbers? Or have you all forgotten Brother Theo’s words?”

Jade froze at this. Her expression was mingled with fury and fear. Why?

Ever since Theo had risen to his position, he said that whoever touched his men meant offending Theo himself. No matter who they were, Theo would have their whole families destroyed! He was that dominant and vicious! Hence, Jade and the gang members hesitated, looking conflicted.

Who exactly was this Theo Zander? He was king of the underground. Although he had kept a low profile in recent years as he focused on growing his legal business, everyone knew that he was a force to be reckoned with.

Jade realized that Anna would stop at nothing this time. Her eyes darkened, then with a wave of her hand, she ordered the gang members to disperse.

“Anna Carter, are you sure you want to go in there? I’ll say it upfront. The person inside is not someone you can mess with. Even if Brother Theo was here today, he has to show a little respect. I hope you won’t regret this!” Jade gave her a cold smile. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Anna frowned slightly. Jade’s behavior meant that there really was some trouble inside. Just who was this person that Celestial Club valued so much? Is there anyone in Riverdale City that even Brother Theo could not offend? If they were not from Riverdale, could they have come from outside the city? If they really were from an outstation, it might really be troublesome.

However, after Anna turned to look at Philip, the worries in her heart disappeared. If Brother Theo was correct, Mr. Clarke could overpower the situation.

At this thought, Anna said, sounding annoyed, “Stop with the nonsense and lead the way!”

Jade smiled coldly and said no more. Philip followed her closely while Anna tailed behind. At the same time, Anna had quietly taken her phone out to send Theo a text message.

Soon, the three of them reached the largest VIP room in the club. The majestic, large golden door looked magnificent and luxurious. But Philip did not have the heart to admire it. Right now, he was only thinking of Wynn. Please be safe!
