The first heir novel (Master Yu Who Smokes)
Chapter 467

Under the spotlight, Philip strode over to Wynn.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps approached him. A bodyguard in a black suit stopped Philip hurriedly. He bowed and said deferentially. "Young Master, Madam Wallis is asking you to go back to Cirrus Manor. Master Tim is here."

Master Tim?

Philip's heart stopped. He turned around to look at Wynn under the spotlight and handed the rose to the server. He said, "I'll be back in a bit. Tell her to wait for me."

After he said that, Philip turned around and ran out of Sky Garden Restaurant.

A black Bentley sped on the main highway of Riverdale. It crossed Scarlet Bridge and headed into the mountain that was lush with greenery. Then, it arrived at Cirrus Manor.

Philip could not calm himself after a long time. He frowned. Master Tim was back.

Why was he here?

Did something happen at home?

The car stopped at the entrance of the manor. There were two rows of bodyguards in black suits along the entrance.

The atmosphere was solemn, and Philip could sense that there was something fishy amidst the silence.

Philip got out of the car and followed the personal assistant to the hall of the manor. She was wearing a white shirt and a red skirt.

After pushing open the heavy door, Philip saw a middle-aged man on the sofa. He had one leg on top of the other, and there was a golden pipe dangling from his lips. He had a mustache and slicked-back hair. There were also white sideburns on both sides of his face. He was wearing an expensive grey checkered suit and was chatting happily with Giada.

Master Tim.

Tim Clarke.

The person in charge of the underground force and influences of the Clarkes. He was also Roger's little brother and Philip's uncle.

This person had a meticulous mind and was extremely vicious. However, he was a kind man.

When Tim saw Philip, he got up and spread his arms. He walked over to Philip with his pipe and laughed, "Hello, my wonderful nephew. Long time no see! You've grown taller and stronger."

Passionate.

Philip and Tim hugged each other. The former called out, "Uncle Tim."

Tim took in a drag of his pipe and looked at Philip closely. He reached out and patted his shoulder. There was benevolence and gratitude in his eyes as he said, "I can stop worrying now that I've seen you." Giada watched everything happening. Her expression did not change, but she just smiled slightly as she said, "Sit down. Don't stand there and talk. We're family."

"Haha, you're right, Giada. Come, sit next to me."

Tim pulled Philip to sit down on the sofa. He said, "I haven't seen you in seven years and you didn't even think to come back to visit me? You rascal!"

Philip laughed and scratched his head in embarrassment.

Giada interrupted. "Tim, why did you come to Riverdale all of a sudden?"

Giada was not prepared for Tim's sudden visit.

Did something happen?

However, why was there no news from the people she had planted in the family?

"I passed by this place and heard that my nephew is here, so I decided to come and see him."

Tim guffawed. He looked at Philip and got up. He said, "Come, Uncle Tim wants to tell you something."

Philip peered at Giada who was in a state of shock and followed Tim out of the hall. They came to a scenic area in the manor.

They could see the night view of Riverdale over here.

"Uncle Tim, why did you come here?"

Philip asked. He could not help himself.

Tim took a drag on his pipe and dismissed the bodyguards behind him.

These people were the warriors of the Clarke family who did not fear death. They were also the most loyal fighters and would only follow Tim's orders.

After a long while, Tim squinted his eyes and said, "Phil, you should go back. Actually, your father's the one who asked me to come here."

Philip was quiet. Then, he said, "How's my father?"

"Not great. The Clarkes need you now," Tim said, his tone laced with sadness.

"I understand."

Philip replied. He had mixed feelings as he looked at the night view.

His father finally came to this.

After he turned around, Tim patted Philip's shoulder and said, "I know what you're worried about. Giada and the wallises are not your obstacles. Leave them to me and I'll get rid of them for you. When you have time, bring Wynn and Mila to see your father.

"What happened back then was not your father's fault. He had his difficulties as well."

Tim started reminiscing. He thought about the memory that was sealed into the deepest part of his head.

That incident was a huge blow to the Clarkes.

"I've forgotten about that," said Philip. There was a sense of loss and sadness in his eyes.

Tim looked at him and laughed. He said, "I have another thing I need to do on my trip here. This is for you."

After he said that, Tim removed a simple and unadorned thumb ring from his thumb. There was the word 'Sovereign' carved on it.

"Roger gave me this back then, and now, I'm giving it to you. I hope it'll help you. Even though I don't know what you've prepared for all these years, I know you can't be without this when you're fighting against the wallises."

After he said that, Tim handed the thumb ring to Philip like it was nothing.

Philip did not dare to accept.

He knew what the thumb ring meant!

It meant too much!

It contained all the military power and force of the entire Clarke family!

It could be said that if anyone owned this thumb ring, it would mean that they owned all the military power of the Clarke family!

That was a Sovereignty Seal!
