The first heir novel (Master Yu Who Smokes)
Chapter 625

As soon as he gave the order!

Everyone was stunned!

Gerard and the others, and even Giada, had all turned pale!

That was the Sovereignty Seal!

The actual Sovereignty Seal!

Damn it!

That cursed Tim Clarke had given Philip something as important as the Sovereignty Seal!

That threw Gerard for a loop. His gaze sharpened and turned cold.

He never expected a small fry like Philip to have the Sovereignty Seal with him. That was a trump card that could control the family's armed forces at will! It was the family's ace in the hole!

Giada could not keep her calm any longer either. Her expression was cold and her gaze faltering as she stared at the jade ring in Philip's hands!

She had been lusting after that item for such a long time, but she never once guessed that Tim had long since given it to Philip!

Curses!

"How dare you, Philip! This is absurd! Do you really think you can cast my family out of the Clarke estate with just the Sovereignty Seal? In your dreams! I am your great-uncle! Your grandfather's brother! I am Gerard Clarke of the branch family! A permanent member of the enforcement hall!"

Gerard was furious, roaring at Philip angrily.

Was he not worried?

Of course he was!

Canon was spooked too. Since he was a child, he had always known what the Sovereignty Seal meant. It was practically the equivalent of an ancient war horn!

With a single sound of its signal, it could mobilize armies of millions!

Such was its power!

"What should we do, Grandpa? H-He has the Sovereignty Seal! We're screwed, we're done for! Our family is done for!"

Canon was in a right panic, his forehead drenched in sweat as the guards propped him up.

He had once heard about how Tim Clarke used the Sovereignty Seal to exterminate the entire underground scene in another country. The man had proceeded to take over that small nation all by himself! "Shut up! Stand properly. You're my grandson, so what are you afraid of? I want to see what right he has to banish our entire branch today! We are members of the same family!"

Gerard said coolly, his gaze frosty and his lips curved into a vicious smile.

By now, Theo had surrounded First Palace with his men, filling the interior and exterior of the villa with his thugs in suits!

"The preparations are complete, Mr. Clarke."

Theo said respectfully, standing next to Philip. His gaze shone as he glanced at the people they were standing off against.

He had received the order out of the blue, so he had to call his men in a hurry and rush over here.

"However, Tiger is seriously wounded. We have already sent him to the hospital."

Theo continued his report. Tiger had been patrolling the villa recently.

In other words, Tiger had evidently failed to report this incident tonight fast enough. The enemy must have taken him down too quickly and decisively.

Philip nodded, his eyes void of warmth. His brow was deeply furrowed and his gaze shining with waves of rage as he stared at Gerard and said, "What right do I have, you ask? I am the heir to the main family and the wielder of this Sovereignty Seal. With those alone, I will banish your entire branch from the family today!"

Philip was infuriated. Gerard was from the branch family, and although he was Philip's great-uncle, he had still gone way too far this time!

After all, Wynn and their daughter Mila had just suffered such torture. There was no way he could sit still after that!

So what if he killed them?

So what if he broke the family rules and ended up under investigation by the enforcement hall? Today, he was determined to show those lurking in the shadows what the price of angering him was! What the consequences of hurting his wife and child would be!

The guards Gerard had brought along were all perfectly silent right now!

All their lives, they had been hand-picked from the ranks and followed their masters' orders to the letter.

Now that the Sovereignty Seal was in play, they had no choice. They had to stand quietly to the side.

The Sovereignty Seal was the representation of Roger Clarke's authority!

Just then, Giada broke her silence and stepped forth, her eyes cold. "I advise you to stop there, Philip. You should know that Gerard is a member of the enforcement hall. He represents the Clarke family rules. What you're doing won't do you any good!"

Giada only wanted to call someone from the enforcement hall here to come to Riverdale and give Tim a rap on the wrist. She never thought Gerard's grandson, Canon, would come to First Palace and make such a scene!

The boy had no limits to his arrogance!

After all, Philip was still the main family's heir. How could a mere son of a branch family be so reckless?!

The boy even hurt Wynn and Mila!

Giada had long since known that Wynn and Mila were Philip's landmines!

He would never stop until he avenged them!

As she spoke, Giada gave Canon a cold look. The boy was nothing more than a brainless trust fund kid.

His presence in the branch family was an insult to their name and honor!
