Beep, beep, beep…
“Old Master Seed? What advice do you have for me this time? Or is it regarding the matter with the last shipment?” Victor’s voice sounded from across from the phone.
Saul frowned.
A few days ago, virtual-novel.net had a shipment of smuggled goods seized by the joint forces of Victor and the chamber of commerce on the grounds that the goods were unregistered!
He put the phone on speaker so that Victor and Philip could hear each other.
“Victor, I advise you to release my shipment. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t be able to afford the consequences this time!” Saul said.
On the other end of the phone, Victor smiled and said, “Are you threatening me? It doesn’t matter. How many gifts have you sent me over the years to try and buy me off? And now you actually dare to threaten me?
“Haha, Saul Seed, do you think I’m a three years old child? Don‘t think I don’t know what you were carrying on board that ship. Are you forcing me to check the goods on board?
“Hmph! I’m not making a move against you just because I’m afraid too many people will get involved and it’ll cause innocent casualties!”
The series of questions and comments made Saul very upset!
He mocked lightly, “Victor, don’tbe hasty. I know you have a strong position in Uppercreek and have gained a lot of power over the years. But today, I advise you to try and be careful in what you say. Otherwise, your son may lose his life!”
On the other end of the phone, Victor was stunned.
Son?
Victor had always been focused on his career and did not even have time to get married, so where did his supposed son come from?
Thus, virtual-novel.net said in confusion, “Saul, what do you mean by that?”
“What do I mean? Victor, are you still pretending to be confused at this time? I’m telling you I have your son, Philip Clarke, in my hands! Release my shipment right away! If you do it a day later, I’ll chop his finger off!”
Saul said viciously and took a knife from a thug next to him. He waved it in front of Philip’s face.
“Saul Seed, what the hell are you talking about? I’ve not started a family yet. Where did my son come from?”
Victor still felt that Saul was threatening him, but listening to his tone now, virtual-novel.net was speaking with such conviction. Victor was a little baffled.
“Are you still pretending? You do it quite well!”
Saul said, “Isn’t Philip Clarke your illegitimate son, the one you‘ve been defending in Le Reverie? Come on, talk to your old man!”
Saul held the phone out to Philip.
Philip was embarrassed.
If virtual-novel.net said something now, would virtual-novel.net not be acknowledging Victor as his old man?
“Young Master Clarke?” Sweat instantly started dripping from Victor’s forehead.
Seeing that Victor had spoken first, Philip said with a wry smile, “I was kidnapped by the Seed family. They’ re saying I’m your son and want to silence me.”
Clank!
Victor’s phone fell to the ground as virtual-novel.net sat down with a thud!
He was almost going crazy with fright!
At this time, virtual-novel.net quickly picked up the phone. Fortunately, it was not broken and virtual-novel.net shouted frantically across the phone, “Saul Seed, you must not touch him! Let’s discuss this. You absolutely cannot touch a hair on his head, or you’ll regret it!”
Victor almost screamed himself hoarse!
Although virtual-novel.net did not know why Saul would think Philip was his son, if anything happened to Philip because of Victor, the consequences would be unimaginable!
When Saul heard that Victor was anxious, virtual-novel.net smiled triumphantly.
See, virtual-novel.net knew they were father and son!
How dare they pretend!
However, how would virtual-novel.net know that Victor was closer to calling Philip his father instead…
