Chief Heir Officer novel Chapter 103

The air in the bar right now was eerily cold and heavy.

All of a sudden!

One of Nino’s lackeys ran over to his boss and whispered into Nino’s ear, “Master Nino, Mr. Thomas’ secretary, Mr. Thane is here. He says he needs to meet you urgently.”

“Mr. Thane?” Nino immediately leaped to his feet, beside himself with excitement. “What are you waiting for? Let’s go greet Mr. Thane!”

His lackeys opened a path in front of him.

Nino was clearly exhilarated.

After all, that was the Mr. Julian Thane, chief secretary to the richest man in the city, George Thomas.

It was quite the honor to have him here on Nino’s turf!

There was a saying in Riverdale. Where Mr. Thane went, there went George Thomas’s will.

However…

Before Nino could approach Julian, the latter had already walked into the bar with the young blonde-haired, blue-eyed secretary in tow.

Who would dare stand in his way?

“Oh my, Mr. Thane! It’s been such a long time, how rare to see you here! What winds of fortune blew you here today? I’m quite honored.” Nino instantly toadied up to Julian, his manner respectful, his back bent and his head lowered. He offered Julian a handshake, his smile as flattering as he could make it.

Nevertheless, Julian only gave Nino a cool and distant glance.

Before he headed here, Mr. Thomas had already instructed him to follow the young master’s lead in everything.

That was why…

Julian did not even shake Nino’s outstretched hand, walking right past him and into the club.

That made the corners of Nino’s mouth twitch. He did not appreciate that, but he maintained the beaming smile on his face.

However...

What happened next wiped the grin off Nino’s face. It left him standing there in shock, unable to formulate a single word!

“Sorry I’m late, Young Master.”

Julian walked briskly up to Philip and then gave him a respectful ninety-degree bow.

A deathly silence fell across the club!

The temperature plummeted!

Everyone was flabbergasted!

What the hell was going on here?

Mr. Thane was bowing to that pathetic waste of space and calling him “Young Master”?

Nino’s face was spasming, and Dick was in an utter state of panic!

Was that a trend these days?

Unfortunately, Philip ignored Nino’s olive branch.

The way he saw it, Nino had insulted his wife and cousin-in-law. That was not something Philip was going to let slide.

That was why he said perfectly calmly, “Did you forget what I just said?”

He was going to eliminate Nino from the city!

Nino’s body gave a shudder, and he frowned deeply. His mouth spread into a vicious grin as he said, “Master Clarke, don’t make unnecessary enemies. I’m not someone you can trample all over.”

At his cue, his lackeys from all throughout the bar surrounded them, threatening to overwhelm Philip by sheer force of numbers.

However, Philip just watched all of this unfold, cool as a cucumber.

Julian and the blonde secretary were completely composed as they stood next to Philip too. They clearly did not see Nino as a threat at all.

These blundering fools may look like the tyrants of Riverdale to outsiders, but to them or to Master Clarke, Nino and his gang were no more than ants squirming on the ground.

They could be squished with a mere finger!

“Haha! Well then, let’s see what happens when I do try to trample over you, Nino!” Philip said icily, his gaze filled with frost.

Anyone who crossed Wynn must be destroyed!
