The First Heir
Chapter 573

Chapter 573

Mark was leading the way while Deaton followed behind him closely. The sound of everyone’sfootsteps was very loud. It sounded extremely messy and hurried in this long corridor.

Mark still did not know what exactly was going on. He only heard from his subordinate that Norm hadarrested someone. After that, Mr. Hull’s men came over and said they wanted to take him away.

Mr. Hull.

If Mr. Hull was involved in this, it would be a little troublesome.

What was going on? Who did Norm arrest? Why was the Hull Clan involved? Even Deaton had tocome all the way here for this.

Mark was feeling uneasy. He pushed open the door of the room and said. “Mr. Wade, we’re here.”

At that moment, the strong smell of blood wafted out from the room. Everyone frowned as they wereirritated by the smell. Someone even ran aside to throw up.

Mark suppressed the acid reflux in his stomach and looked into the room. When he saw what wasgoing on inside, he shuddered as cold sweat started pouring from his body. Then, he lifted his shakyhand and yelled angrily, “You ruffian! Get him! Get up now!”

He was the boss of the other district and was experienced. However, this was the first time Mark hadseen such a gory scene.

Inside the room, three of Mr. Hull’s men were beaten badly. One of them was also his friend, AntonGooden!

His trusty partner Norm was also cowering in a corner in fear. He did not even dare to move.

Then, he looked at that ruffian who had the audacity to smile at him. How arrogant!

Did Deaton come all the way here for this ruffian?

Was this an extremely shocking case?

Philip spotted Deaton immediately. He smirked and greeted warmly. “Yo Deaty, long time no see!”

When Deaton saw Philip sitting there unharmed, the pressure in his heart was finally lifted.

Then, he looked at the people sprawled on the floor. He understood instantly.

This guy had some skills. No wonder Reed told him to take good care of Philip.

When Deaton was making his way here, he already had a plan. If Philip was hurt in any way, he wouldbe more than willing to fire Mark!

Deaton looked at Philip and frowned. He nodded and replied, “What happened, Mr. Clarke? Are theyokay?”

Deaton was afraid that Philip would do something that overstepped the bounds of what was proper. Ifthese guys were killed by him, then it would be difficult for him to take care of this even if he had a highposition.

Deaton’s bodyguard, Mark, and Norm, who was standing in the room, were all looking at Philip withwide eyes.

Mr. Clarke?

The director of the Department of Law Enforcement in Riverdale, Deaton Wade, was calling him Mr.Clarke?

They knew each other?

Deaton sounded like he was trying to flatter him just now.

How was that possible?

Norm thought Philip was just a normal civilian, but right now, he was completely stunned. His calveswere also shaking. Even though he did not know how Philip knew Deaton, he knew he would not beable to get away with this tonight.

Anton was lying on the floor and had completely given up all hope. ‘It’s gone. Everything’s gone.’

They were completely snookered.

Philip looked at the changes in everyone’s expressions and chuckled coldly internally. He got up andsaid, “It’s fine. These guys will only need to be hospitalized for a few days. You came here just in time,Deaty! If not, I really can’t guarantee what I would’ve done next.”

Deaton let out a sigh of relief as cold sweat started forming on his forehead. When Philip got up justnow, his aura was extremely strong.

No wonder Reed kept telling him not to cross Philip.

“Mr. Wade, um…”

Mark was not an idiot. He could tell that Deaton was the one with the highest rank in this room, sonaturally, he would be the one with the most right to speak.

Deaton looked at him and said, “Contact the hospital. Get them over there now.”

Then, he pointed at Philip and said, “Let him go.”

How would Mark not obey Deaton? He nodded his head quickly and complied.

Philip lifted his head and said softly, “Wait, something’s not over yet.”

Not over?

When Philip said that, his tone was icy. However, it made Norm and Anton feel like they were going tomeet their demise.

The room fell silent.

Mark had a serious expression on his face. Was Mr. Clarke trying to make things as unpeaceful aspossible for his district?

If the Hull Clan decided to ask him about this, it would be difficult for him to explain.

Tonight, Mark had received Mr. Hull’s orders. That was why he ignored everything that was happening.

Philip looked at Norm, then at Anton. He saw fear in their faces.

At this moment, no one dared to look him in the eye.

“Deaty, do you know why I was brought here?”

Philip patted Deaton’s shoulder with a grin on his face.

How would Deaton not know what was going on? He had already investigated this while he was on theway. That was why he came here in such a hurry.

Deaton peered at Norm. That idiot was shaking furiously. He roared, “Are you Norm West?”

Norm knelt on the ground in fear. He said in a shaky voice, “Y-Yes…”

Philip looked at Norm with a fake smile on his face and said, “Norm, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t yousay that I was involved in an assault and robbery? Now that Deaty is here, you should tell him.”

Norm wanted to cry, but no tears were coming out. He said quickly, “I was wrong! I made a mistake! Igot the wrong person because I’m incompetent!”

Norm was regretting this horribly. Why did he cross Philip?

If this man was able to chat with Deaton, he would be able to kill him at any time!
