The First Heir

After being silent for a while, Philip threw away his cigarette. He walked out of the hospital and got into a Benz that was parked in front of the entrance.

The car drove slowly in the night, passing the main road of Riverdale. Then, it crossed Scarlet Bridge and went into the darkness of the hillside. After that, it drove along the mountainous road and stopped at a manor at the peak of Mount Cirrus.

Cirrus Manor.

It was the most extravagant and valuable manor in Riverdale.

The construction cost alone was one billion bucks!

They had hollowed half of the mountain for this manor.

Construction started seven years ago. It took three years to finish.

A lot of manpower, resources, and money were spent on this huge project.

The most mysterious thing about this manor was that no one knew who the owner of this manor was.

There were rumors that the owner of this manor was extremely rich and powerful.

Some powerful people even said that anyone who was a guest of the manor would be a giant in their industry in the future—and that was the truth.

Four years ago, the manor invited four guests over. Soon after that, those four people became people who were great at toadying for personal gains in Riverdale. Some of them were in organizations while some of them were in the business world.

For example, the richest man in Riverdale, George Thomas, was one of the guests.

The car stopped and Philip got out. He looked at the manor first. It was indeed extravagant. It was built entirely out of white marble. There was a lawn that was about 1,000 square feet. There was a goddess statue on top of the fountain in front of the entrance. The building was modeled after western architecture.

Every ten meters of the mansion, there would be a lookout post for bodyguards. The security here was tight. It could be compared to the private mansion of the head of the business world.
