Bernard was stunned. He did not expect the other party to be so angry and hurriedly asked, “Master Eight, what do you mean by that?”
Master Eight said angrily, “Bernard, the person you told me to take care of is someone I can’t afford to mess with! You’re pushing me into the fire! I’m telling you, the two of us have never spoken on the phone! Even if something happens to you, don’t ever reveal my name! Otherwise, I’ll kill you!”
Click!
The call ended.
Bernard was confused!
A person Master Eight could not afford to mess with? He was second only to the three lords of Uppercreek. He had both people and influence.
Such a person just said he could not afford to mess with Philip Clarke?
He must be joking!
Did Philip have any connections in Uppercreek?
Bernard’s face darkened as Liam quickly asked from the side, “Uncle Bernard, what’s wrong? What did Master Eight say?”
Liam was full of excitement and anticipation at this moment. He had heard of Master Eight’s fame. He was the kingpin second only to the three lords of Uppercreek. He had many underlings and was very powerful on the streets!
If such a person made a move, that stinking Philip would be dead for sure!
However, the next second, Bernard said, “Something went wrong. Master Eight said he can’t afford to mess with Philip and broke off all contact with me.”
Hoyt nodded.
In the evening, Hoyt arrived at the Imperial Court as per the appointment time. As soon as he entered the private room, he saw Bernard and the others already waiting for him. Bernard quickly got up, stretched out his hands, and greeted him with a flattering smile. “Director Luther, you’re finally here. I’m Bernard Johnston, the deputy chairman of Martin Pharmaceutical. It’s an honor to meet yo u. Please have a seat.”
Hoyt smiled and sat down with Bernard and the others.
Liam sat on the side and said with a smile on his face, “Director Luther, this is my third uncle who personally came from Riverdale just for the cooperation between us. He’s very sincere about this.”
Hoyt smiled and said, “Haha, Mr. Johnston, you’re too enthusiastic. It’s very difficult to resist.”
Bernard raised his hand and signaled to the waiter to serve the food and wine.
