The First Heir

Chapter 104

Nino’s expression changed. Having plied in this trade for so many years, he had seen people from all walks of life. He knew them all.

Today, however, he felt as though he was facing a completely unfathomable enemy.

Philip’s aura was just too unique. It exerted a pressure on Nino unlike any other.

It was almost as though this plain-looking man had a very exceptional background.,

No, not almost. He definitely did!

That was the feeling Nino got from Philip after he spoke earlier.

Still, Nino was no spineless coward himself. He chuckled twice coldly and said, “Are you sure you want to go against me, Master Clarke? Yes, Mr. Thane is here, but don’t forget, I’m a leader of the Riverdale underworld. No matter how much power Mr. Thane’s boss has, he might want to reconsider before he removes me.”

That was right. Nino was talking about George Thomas.

The way he saw it, Philip was only acting so bold now because he had the support of George Thomas’s money and reputation.

If they really wanted to escalate this into a brawl, Nino had plenty of thugs at his beck and call.

That was how he made it big as a young man.

This was his turf.

Besides, Nino had quite the support system too. He was backed by a very formidable person.

If they truly made this into a war, all he had to do was call that man out here for a few words. That would make even George Thomas pause for a good while.

For businessmen, every investment could affect their entire fortune if they were not careful.

However…

Contrary to Nino’s expectations, Philip just smiled mildly and said, “You think too highly of yourself, Nino, and you’re underestimating me by a mile. It doesn’t matter who you are, how many men you have, or who you have behind your back. If I, Philip Clarke, want to get rid of you, no one would dare to stop me!”

He was unbelievably cocky!

Every word oozed a wild pride!

Nino’s frown deepened, and his expression grew ever darker. Grinning viciously, he said, “Are you sure you want to do this, Master Clarke?”

Philip did not reply, but his attitude was answer enough.

Nino did not drag his feet either. He took two steps back, and several dozen thugs flooded out into the bar from all directions. They were all gangsters and hooligans, armed with sticks, bats, and a desire to maim.

“Do it!” Nino roared angrily, following up with a loud, “But don’t kill them!”

Nino had everything all planned out. He was going to capture Master Clarke and Mr. Thane and teach them a little lesson. That would tell them not to mess with him.

Once he had them captive, he would immediately call his patron and ask the latter to solve this matter for him.

After all, Mr. Thane was George Thomas’s man.

Nino did not have enough clout to attack Thomas’s men without repercussions, at least not yet.

As the gang rounded in on them rapidly, Philip and the others did not look panicked in the slightest.

Philip just looked at them quietly.

At the same time, outside the bar…

Several dozen black MPVs surged down the road and surrounded Starlight Bar in the blink of an eye!

In complete unison, forty or fifty bodyguards dressed in black suits and black leather shoes with black sunglasses and white gloves got out of the cars. They quickly stood in two lines, opening a path to the bar entrance!

After that, a black Jaguar with a black license plate, RVD C77777, stopped at the door!

It was quite the spectacle!

The atmosphere turned extremely tense!

The car door opened, and Theo walked out, dressed from head to toe in a white suit. He took the fedora off his head and looked at the door to Starlight Bar, which was tightly shut.

This was his trademark entrance.

Just one glance from him was enough. Dressed in camo, Tiger had followed him out of the car. He waved his large hand and forcefully stormed down the door with his men!

After that, Theo led the way into the bar. His men streamed inside with him in two orderly lines.

Of course, Lynn and the others who were hiding in the corner witnessed the entire magnificent scene first-hand.

Kyle had long since been shocked out of his wits. He fell bottom-first onto the floor, stammering non- stop, “It’s over, it’s all over! T-Theo… Theo Zander, the emperor of Riverdale’s underworld! H-He’s here too!”

Theo Zander, Riverdale’s underground emperor!

That name and title filled their ears like the toll of death bells.

Everyone from eight-year-old children to eighty-year-old grandpas in Riverdale knew Theo Zander’s name!

He was definitely a monster among monsters!

Judging by the men Theo had brought with him, there was an astronomical storm brewing here!

Starlight Bar seemed exceptionally popular today!

Kyle was so freaked out that he simply ran away with his tail between his legs.

He did not dare to stay here any longer. It was just too scary! Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

The other two girls were no better. They were so nervous that they could barely speak, and they tried to drag Lynn away. “C’mon, Lynn, we should go. We can’t help! First there was Master Nino, and now there’s Master Theo? Your cousin-in-law is dead meat for sure now.”

“Hurry, let’s run! If they catch us, we’ll be dead too.”

“Let’s call the cops! I doubt that Philip Clarke can make it out of this in one piece, so hurry and call the cops! Maybe that way he won’t die, at least.”

The few of them talked over each other, all of them pale as death.

Lynn was utterly terrified too. If something really happened to Philip, she would definitely be implicated in it as well.

Should she leave?

Should she call the cops?

While she hesitated, all hell broke loose in the club.

A dozen of Nino’s hired hands surrounded Philip and the others, bloodlust plain on their faces.

“Get them!” Dick roared.

The men pounced.
