The First Heir (First Heir)

The First Heir (First Heir)
chapter 74



Young Master, you will be charged 18 billion to buy the Arc de Triumph as there are 50 branches across the country."


On the other side of the row stood George in front of a ceiling-high window. He was reading the data report in his hand.


His secretary had given him a full list of assets and financial statements of the Arc de Triumph once Philip asked.


"I don't care how many billions it costs, I want to be bought." Philip Clarke sounded upset.


"Alright, Young Master," replied George and called again.


Instantly, many direct calls were made from Riverdale to the Arc de Triumph headquarters in the Capital.


That night, a mysterious force began operating secretly in Riverdale and Capital City.


Beside him, Wesley looked at Philip coldly and mockingly. "Oh? It has been a long time since we met. I see your ability to lie is getting better. Buying an Arc de Triumph? What a bold statement."


'He thinks who he is, buying an Arc de Triumph like that is no big deal!


'Did he even know the Arc de Triumph market price?


'20 billion!


'Showing a cool front now, isn't it? Heh. As if only you knew how.


'Just keep it up, if you're going to lie, at least make sense.


'What are you taking us for? An idiot? Just buy the whole Arc De Triumph like that.'


Not long after, another call from George came. "All preparations have been made, Young Master. You are now the rightful owner of the Arc de Triumph. After spending a total of 20 billion, all three major shareholders have sold their shares. You now own 100 percent of all shares, and hence absolute authority."


"alright. Good work" replied Philip Clarke calmly.


If anything, George Thomas is an efficient man.


"Oh, and have their heads come here now" said Philip Clarke.


Watching Philip speaking to someone cryptically over the phone, Wesley sneered. "Oh? Just the show you're showing here. So who are you calling? You want to buy the Arc de Triumph, right? Come on, do it in front of me right now. When you bought the Arc de Triumph, right? Victory, I'll bow down and bow down to you, Philip Clarke."


'Only the Arc de Triumph branch in Riverdale alone costs about 200 million.


'Don't the headquarters of the group itself cost 20 billion!


'And now you buy the whole Arc de Triumph?'


At the same time, George had made a direct phone call with the head of the Riverdale branch.


"Mr Yeager, our young master is currently at your hotel. He has requested your presence and is looking forward to meeting you in five minutes."


Hearing him, Zayn Yeager gasped awake.


Young master Mr. Thomas. It was a man with a great fucking status.


"Of course, Mr. Thomas. I'll be there soon."


Zayn Yeager hung up and ran to the Arc de Triumph.


Back to Wesley who still looked down at Philip Clarke demeaningly. "You're still defending that facade, Philip? All righty! I'll play your little game. Let's see how cool you really are!"


Both of his hands were in the pockets of his pants while his expression was one of mocking sarcasm.


Philip seemed impatient. While calmly sitting on the chair at the side, he pulled out his phone to make a video call to Mila.


She is currently being cared for by a company babysitter.


He'll pick her up that day, too.


Due to Philip's working conditions and the fact that his in-laws never cared to take care of him, Mila spent most of her time in the nursery.


About five minutes later, Zayn Yeager, the head of the Arc de Triumph Riverdale branch, appeared at the entrance of the lobby.


Staring at the scene in the lobby in front of him, he felt a little uncomfortable.


He arrived quickly in front of Wesley and asked, "Manager Wesley, what does it look like?"


Wesley. He did not expect the branch head to come at Philip's request.


Since Zayn was the one in charge of the group's Riverdale branch, Wesley had no choice but to be humble and smile. "There's nothing I can't handle, Mr. Yeagers."


Zayn Yeager immediately frowned. "There's nothing you can't handle? The security team is here and you didn't call this anything? Forget it, I'll handle this myself."


If young master Mr. Thomas is offended, it will be the end of his career, Zayn Yeager, at Riverdale.


Following that thought, the hair on the back of his neck stood in fear.


As for young master Mr. Thomas... Well, what better person to suck?


Quickly taking a step forward to screen the group of people before him, he asked politely, "Excuse me, which one of you is Mr Clarke? Mr Philip Clarke?"


Everyone is dumbfounded. Collectively, all gazes were on Philip.
