The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 85
Back at First Palace. Philip stood firmly under the pouring rain with two of his bodyguards by his side holding umbrellas over him, his demeanor stern and
threatening. Meanwhile, four men were left on the grass. One or two were on their knees while the rest were crumpled on the ground. They had no clue that the
person they were supposed to beat up was someone who was not to be provoked. They were beyond terrified. “Who’s Tiger?” Philip finally asked. His tone was
as cold as the devil’s, and one could not help but cower at the harshness in his tone. “Tiger, Tiger Zander of Lord North Street,” one of them spat out as he
continued shaking with fear. A cold look flashed in Philip’s eyes. On the other hand, George who was standing behind Philip under the umbrella let out a deep
sigh as he pulled out his phone to call Theo. In the meantime. At Theo’s manor. It was the middle of the night when he received a call from an anxious Tiger
saying that something bad had happened. When he opened the door, he was greeted by Tiger kneeling outside the door under the heavy rain. “Tiger, what are
you doing here?”
Theo quickly rushed out to help him up. However, Tiger remained on his knees under the rain, showing no signs of moving. His head was bowed low, and he was
drenched from head to toe. “Theo, I’m sorry. I screwed up,”
Tiger yelled as he tightened his fists. After his henchmen were caught, he began asking around until he received terrible news. The target he had asked his
henchmen to go after was Mr. Clarke! At that instant, Tiger felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless pit. What frightened him even more was that one of his
henchmen had acted rashly and stabbed the woman who was supposedly Mr. Clarke’s wife. He was as good as dead now! Tiger well understood how badly
Theo feared Mr. Clarke too. Although he was unsure of Mr. Clarke’s true background, the one thing he was certain of was that he was a dead man. Theo
panicked and quickly asked, “What the hell happened? Come in and we’ll talk about it.” Theo had never felt this perturbed. His instincts were telling him that
something terribly bad must have happened. Otherwise, knowing Tiger’s temperament, there was no way he would be kneeling in front of his door in the middle
of the night pleading guilty. Tiger stayed still under the rainstorm as he came clean about everything from the beginning to the end. Kick! Splash! Seething with
rage, Theo kicked Tiger in the chest and sent him falling into the puddles of water.
“You idiot! Why the f*ck would you do such a thing?! Why! Do you have a f*cking death wish! You idiot!!!” Theo shrieked at Tiger
under the rain, his chest filled with indescribable anger. He could not believe what he had just heard. Tiger had asked his
henchmen to teach Mr. Clarke a lesson and accidentally stabbed Mr. Clarke’s woman while at it... Damn it! He had literally dug
himself a grave! “Theo! I’m sorry, I’ll bear all the consequences myself! Please spare my family! Theo, please tell Mr. Clarke to
spare my family!” Tiger stayed on his knees under the rain as he slammed his head harshly on the ground, each kowtow a sharp
blow on Theo’s chest.
Rumble! Rumble! With the thunderstorm raging on, perhaps God was furious as well. Theo was just about to pick up his phone
when it started ringing. The caller ID showed that it was Mr. Thomas calling. Theo’s heart jolted as he quickly accepted the call.
“Mr. Thomas, is there anything you need?” His tone was respectful with a hint of fear. “Is Tiger with you now?”

It was a simple yes or no question, yet Theo hesitated for a long moment before replying, “Yes.” “Bring him to First Palace in
Longford Park immediately. Mr. Clarke would like to see him.” Click. The call ended. Theo was stunned for a very long time
before he finally recovered. “Let’s go, we have to see Mr. Clarke now,” Theo said coldly as he started the car and sped toward
Longford Park. About ten minutes later, Theo arrived at First Palace along with Tiger who was soaking wet. The rain had gotten
smaller by then.
The second Tiger saw Mr. Clarke who was seated on the jade white marble bench, he immediately fell on his knees and
kowtowed. “Mr. Clarke, please spare my family. I’ll bear all the consequences!” Philip stared blankly at Tiger who was kneeling
on the ground before him. He had seen something similar not long ago. The person before him was just a man. A man was
bound to make mistakes at times. Philip turned sideways to look at Theo who stood beside Tiger and asked coldly, “Theo, what
would you do?” Theo bowed courteously and lowered his head. “We shall deal with this on your terms, Mr. Clarke.” Philip said
nothing as he got up. He stepped in front of Tiger and looked down at him grimly. “Tiger, why did you send your henchmen to
teach me a lesson?” Tiger dared not hide anything and revealed everything about Ruby. When Philip finished listening to his
story, he clenched his fists tightly as a cold gleam flashed in his eyes. Ruby Ford!
This woman certainly did not know when to give up! Philip stood quietly, seemingly deep in thought as the silence pressed on
everyone’s chest like a heavy stone. After a long while, he finally spoke, “You can go, but don’t you dare repeat the same
mistake.” Tiger was utterly stunned for a moment.
He could not believe what he just heard. He swiftly recovered from the shock and kowtowed. “Thank you, Mr. Clarke! Thank you
so much!” Theo heaved a deep breath of relief. The load that had been bearing on his mind was finally lifted. He bowed as well
and said, “Mr. Clarke...” Before he could finish his sentence, George sent him a stern glare and Theo quickly pulled Tiger away.
When they were gone, George asked, “Young Master, why did you decide to spare Tiger?” Philip replied, “I’m not a person who
enjoys the cruelty of fighting and killing. Tiger didn’t do it on purpose, so he doesn’t deserve to die. Now that Wynn is short of a
bodyguard, Tiger can take over and take this as an opportunity to redeem himself.” George nodded his head slowly. After a long
pause, he spoke again while his hands trembled slightly, “Young Master, you’re back.” Philip cast him a side glance when he
heard George’s words. An indescribable look of disbelief flashed in his eyes as his brows furrowed. “I don’t really like the me
you’re talking about.”
At this moment, his phone rang. As soon as the call was connected, the angry voice of his mother-in-law, Martha, boomed through the other end.
“Philip, where the hell did you go? Wynnie wants to see you, so get back to the hospital right now!” Click! With that, she ended the call. His cold and chilly
demeanor instantly vanished into thin air. All of a sudden, Philip returned to the man who had been constantly humiliated and insulted for the past two to three
years. He was just an average man. “Get me to the hospital,” Philip said urgently. George could not help but shake his head helplessly. The young master he

recognized seconds ago had disappeared once again. After sending Philip to the hospital, George felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness as he watched his
anxious young master scramble down the car. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
“Old Master, I think it’s time to tell Young Master everything.”
