The first heir novel (Master Yu Who Smokes)

A huge battle broke out between the fire chimera and the giant snake. This scene happened in one corner of Mystic City and attracted the attention of many forces! "Who's fighting? Such terrifying energy fluctuations are no less than the strength of disciples in the sixth zone!" In an attic, a man with a folding fan asked with a frown. "Young Master, we haven't received any news yet," a servant replied.

The handsome man frowned and gazed sharply in the direction where the battle broke out in the distance, and his pupils were filled with flames and the power of lightning! "Find out immediately! I want to know the detailed information of the other party. If we can't control such people, we must kill them!" the man said coldly.

"Yes, Young Master!" The servant immediately turned and left.

At this moment, a stoic middle-aged man walked out from behind the young man. He had gray hair and his hands were behind his back. His angular face looked serious and resolute. "Uncle Samuel, why are you here?" the handsome man said with a slight bow.

The middle-aged man looked into the distance where the battle broke out with his wise eyes and said in a low voice, "Don't pay too much attention to such things. You should understand the purpose of our trip this time."

The handsome man raised his eyebrows and said, "Uncle Samuel, I don't understand why my father insists that I marry Layla Nolan. Is it really worth the effort for us to get the neutral faction on our side?" Uncle Samuel gazed sharply at the handsome man and said, "Don't you understand yet? The neutral faction is now the backbone of the Heavenly Court. Gaining his approval is equivalent to gaining the initiative in Heavenly Court! If you marry Layla, our faction can gain more authority and initiative!"

Hearing this, the handsome man's eyes darkened as he said, "But you should know that Layla doesn't like me. It's difficult for me to win her over."

The middle-aged man said, "We've made plans for this. During the Treasure-Digging Event tomorrow, we'll create some situations. When the time comes, you just need to take action and save the damsel in distress..."

Hearing this, the handsome man scowled and seemed a little reluctant.

The middle-aged man said, "Also, stop sending some low-level killers to assassinate Layla. This makes us seem very passive."

The handsome man nodded without another word.

Back to Philip's side. The battle was still going on, but the man with a mask was sent flying out by a sword strike. He rolled to the ground and spat a mouthful of blood. On the other side, the fire chimera stomped on the giant lightning snake and roared to the sky.

Philip walked up to the man, nudged the longsword to his neck, and asked coldly, "One last time. Who sent you here?"

The man laughed and said, "Just kill me. You won't get any information from me!"

Philip snorted and said, "Is the person behind you worth your life? If he cares about you, shouldn't he have sent someone to save you by now?"

Hearing this, the man's eyes turned gloomy. However, he quickly chuckled and said, "This outdated trope of sowing discord won't work on me. If my master wants me to die, I'll die without any complaints! Just do as you please!"

With that said, the man closed his eyes and waited for death.

Philip frowned and looked at the man. He did not kill him but said instead, "Go back and tell your master not to try to challenge my patience. I don't want to have any conflicts with him, but if it's really inevitable, the Dragon King of Mystic City will soon be replaced!"
