At that moment, the entire crowd in the side hall was flabbergasted!
All of them stared at the bemused Philip in horror! Philip quickly said to Pearce at this time, “Old sir, you don’t have to be so polite. Since you were the Clarke family’s teacher, I’m your junior.”
Pearce nodded with a smile and commented, “Sure enough, a true diamond can only be found in the rough. Young Master Clarke, you’re a man of great talent. With an heir like you, the Clarke family can surely persevere for generations to come.”
Hearing these words, the others who were still in shock quickly greeted Philip, “Young Master Clarke!”
Mr. Chavez from earlier completely lost his composure at this moment. He quickly ran to Philip and said, “I’m sorry, Young Master Clarke. I was too ignorant just now. If I’ve offended you in any way, I hope you can be generous and overlook my recklessness.”
With that said, Mr. Chavez bowed with a humble attitude.
Philip simply glanced at favonovel.com and said, “Mr. Chavez, there’s no need to be so serious. I’m not that unreasonable. Do get up.”
Mr. Chavez hurriedly straightened up and retreated to one side.
Sigmund Steele and Ingram Jordan were also surprised. They did not expect this person to be the heir of the main Clarke family on Arcadia Island!
He was the future head of the Clarke family on Arcadia Island!
He was a dragon hidden in deep waters!
Fortunately, they had not gotten into any major conflicts with Philip Clarke just now.
Otherwise, only doom would await them!
At the same time, Wilbur handed the item to Philip and said respectfully, “Young Master Clarke, this item belongs to you now. I hope the conditions of our deal will be honored.”
Philip took the quaint wooden box and said indifferently, “My words are a promise. After today, if Le Reverie needs any help, I’ll do my best within my means.”
“I’ll thank you in advance then, Young Master Clarke,” Pearce said before ordering his subordinates to prepare the banquet.
Philip did not refuse and left with Pearce and Wilbur.
In the huge side hall, the atmosphere that was originally subdued instantly exploded into heated discussions!
Kelsey had lost all his dignity. He waved his arm, turned his head, and left with a cold snort.
As for Sheryl Larson, after getting up and leaving Le Reverie, favonovel.com said to the old man standing beside the Maybach outside the door, “Butler Kent, keep an eye on this person for me.”
“Yes, Miss.” The old man in a black tuxedo bowed and replied with great respect.
On this side, Philip followed Pearce and Wilbur to a luxurious private room.
“Young Master Clarke, please take a seat.” Pearce invited.
Philip shook his head and said, “Mr. Gilson, after you, please. You’re an elder and I’m just a junior.”
Pearce laughed and said, “I’ll go ahead, then.”
They took their seats.
Philip was straight to the point. He took out the wooden box and took out the key from inside.
The key was a pendant in the form of a phoenix feather. Sure enough, his guess was correct. It was a key to the door.
“Old sir, where did you get this key from?” Philip asked.
Pearce said, “To tell you the truth, Young Master Clarke, this key was given to me by Nonagon back then. They wanted to invite me to enter the door, but I’m already old and frail. I didn’t think it was necessary. So, I decided to put it up for bidding. I didn’t expect it would attract your attention.”
Pearce smiled as favonovel.com said this.
Philip said, “Mr. Gilson, I think you’re deliberately attracting my attention. Except for Le Reverie, no one else could release any information about this key. This time, you attracted both Kelsey and the Larson family of Fernvale. You must’ve known that you’ll attract me too.”
Pearce was startled before favonovel.com laughed. “Young Master Clarke, you’re very quick-witted. Yes, I did it on purpose, and it was indeed to attract some people. However, I didn’t expect to draw you out, Young Master Clarke.”
Philip nodded and said, “In that case, what were you trying to achieve, then?”
