The news that Dragon King Well had offended the young patriarch of the Clarke family and gotten his manor destroyed, and subsequently got resorted by a mysterious person, quickly spread throughout Mystic City. Everyone in the city panicked because many families had offended Young Patriarch Clarke too.
Now, the well-being of the Third Dragon King of Mystic City was unknown, which was enough to deter everyone. Everyone speculated what was the next step Young Patriarch Clarke would take.
In Claus’ private villa, Philip and the others were chatting.
“Young Patriarch Clarke, your destruction of Windsor’s manor has spread throughout the city. All the patriarchs of the families who haven’t left are panicking now.”
Claus sat on the side and said, “The example you set is very good.”
Philip nodded lightly and said, “I want to thank you for your hospitality these days. I’ll leave the rest of the things in Mystic City in your good hands.”
Claus nodded and said, “Please rest assured, Young Patriarch Clarke. I’ll take good care of the aftermath in Mystic City.”
At this time, a maid walked in quickly and said, “Lord Dragon King, Young Patriarch Clarke, Miss Nolan is awake.”
Philip jumped to his feet and rushed to Layla’s room. He pushed the door open. Layla was leaning against the head of the bed weakly. Seeing Philip barging in, she immediately turned her head, snorted coldly, and said, “What are you doing here?”
Philip slowed down, scratched his head awkwardly, and said with a smile, “I heard you woke up and came to see you…”
Layla pursed her lips, turned her face away, and said arrogantly, “You’ve seen me. You can go now.”
Philip chuckled, poured a cup of tea, walked to Layla’s bed, and handed the cup to her. He said, “You just woke up and your body is weak. Drink more liquids.”
Layla frowned as she looked at the cup of tea in Philip’s hand. She asked, “Do men only know how to make a woman drink?”
Philip was startled and smiled in embarrassment, not knowing what to say. This was a million-dollar question. Was it bad to drink more water?
