The first heir novel (Master Yu Who Smokes)

Back to Philip's side. When he returned to Claus' residence, Fennel and the others were already waiting anxiously. "You're finally back..." Fennel got up and asked as the worried look on his face faded.

17 rushed over quickly, hugged Philip, and exclaimed, "Young Patriarch, you're finally back. I missed you so much."

Philip smiled, patted 17 on the back, and said, "Don't worry. I'm not in any danger."

17 pouted and let go of Philip.

Philip glanced at everyone in the hall. Claus was there too.

"Young Patriarch Clarke, how was your discussion with that person?" Claus asked with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Philip glanced at Claus and asked, "Do you know who that person is?"

Claus said, "Of course, I do."

Philip raised his eyebrows and said, "Not bad. I found out a lot of things that I didn't know before, but I'm more confused than ever now. It feels like there's a bigger mystery and conspiracy surrounding me..." Philip was telling the truth. He was very puzzled now.

Claus smiled and said, "Young Patriarch Clarke, you don't have to think too much about certain things. They'll work out in the end."

Philip nodded and said to Fennel and the others, "Things at Mystic City are settled. We should go back."

Fennel nodded and said, "It's just nice. I found some clues about Heavenly Court that may be related to Hannah."

Philip nodded.

After that, everyone dispersed. Philip went to visit Layla.

He sat on Layla's bedside and looked at her face which was no longer so pale. His thoughts were a mess. He had gotten entangled in another emotional relationship again. Layla had saved his life. Philip sighed and felt confused. After sitting for a while, he got up and left the room. In the yard, he bumped into the old man he met in the alternate space earlier, Cody Crane!

The old man sat in a corner, his face greasy from eating roast chicken. Seeing Philip walking out, he smiled and tossed an object at Philip.

Philip reached out and grabbed a small bronze sword. However, in an instant, Philip felt that this bronze sword contained vast power of rules and sword rules.

What was going on?

Cody smiled and said, "Little boy, this is something I owed the Larson family back then. Consider this as returning the kindness. Give me the letter."

Philip was taken aback, but he took out the letter and handed it to Cody. Philip said, "Sir, this was given to me by my grandfather. He said that if my life is in danger, I can use this to look for you."

Cody wiped his greasy mouth and said, "Yes, I owe your grandfather from back then. But now that this event in Mystic City is over and you didn't encounter any danger, treat this bronze sword as my payment to the Larson family to end my causal relationship with your grandfather..."
