Chapter 1053

Rick faced the waves and said, “Well, regarding the news about Young Miss, I’ll tell you the detailswhen I return. Right now, I need to deal with some troublesome matters.”

Philip furrowed his brows and said, “People from the branch family?”

“Yeah, a bunch of pesky bugs that I can’t seem to get rid of.”

Rick said so before he hung up the phone.

As for Philip, he took a breath, glanced at Mila on the hospital bed, and said to Theo, “Get ready toreturn.”

Theo nodded behind him and said, “Okay, but Mr. Clarke, Bowen Roy wants to see you.”

“I see. Tell him to wait for me in the pavilion,” Philip said.

Ten minutes later, Philip arrived at the pavilion.

At the moment, there was a bodyguard in a black suit every ten yards apart, closely guarding andprotecting the surrounding area.

Bowen Roy sat in the pavilion, drinking tea.

Seeing Philip, Bowen quickly stood up and greeted him respectfully, “Mr. Clarke.”

Philip waved his hand and said, “Have a seat.”

Then, the two took their seats. Bowen personally made tea for Philip.

“Mr. Clarke, are you going back already?”

Bowen handed Philip a teacup and while smiling, he asked.

Philip nodded and said, “The underground chamber of commerce is almost settled. There are still somethings to be dealt with in Riverdale, so I must return soon.”

Bowen nodded and was silent for a moment before saying, “Mr. Clarke, there’s something I need todiscuss with you.”

Philip glanced at Bowen. “I know what you want to say.”

Bowen was startled, looking at Philip suspiciously. The latter said, “You don’t want to be tied to myforces. You want to make a comeback on your own.”

Bowen was silent.

Philip had expected this a long time ago.

Bowen was an individual who could not be restrained.

If Philip really restrained him, then there would be no Bowen Roy in this world any longer.

Such people were talented and had their own ideas.

To someone like him, following the rules was no different than being in prison.

“Mr. Clarke.”

Suddenly, Bowen got up, bent his knees, and knelt beside Philip. Knocking his head on the groundthree times, he then said seriously, “I want to thank you for your helping hand that day. If not for you, I’dhave lost my life by now. I’m unable to repay your kindness right now. However, I still have somepersonal matters to deal with. Once these matters are resolved and if I’m still alive by then, you canuse me as you see fit!”

Philip raised his head and looked at the birds flying among the white clouds in the sky.

After a while, he asked, “How long?”

“One year,” Bowen replied.

“Okay, I’ll wait one year for you. One year later, bring this to see me.”

Philip said as he took a golden token in his hand and tossed it to Bowen.

Bowen grabbed the token and took a closer look. It was a golden token about the size of half a palmwith two flying dragons and the letter ‘P’ engraved on the front. On the back, there was the simple andsolemn words ‘Seal’!

Bowen was taken aback for a moment, confused.

However, he knew that this token was of extraordinary significance.

Philip took a sip of tea and said calmly, “The Golden Seal. There are nine in total, and this is thefourth.”

Bowen understood in an instant. He thanked him and got up, then sat beside Philip. After looking at thegolden token for a long time, he asked, “Mr. Clarke, are you establishing your own forces? Ninecandidates in total? The first three are…”

Philip said leisurely, “You’ll replace out in the future. One year later, bring it along to see me. I hope you cangive me a surprise by then.”

After that, Philip got up and left the pavilion.

Bowen also stood up and sent him away respectfully, holding the pure gold token tightly in his handwith a solemn expression on his face.

The Golden Seal.

No one would have expected that the Golden Seal given by Philip today would solve a life-and-deathdilemma for him in the future!

In the same way, decades later, this Golden Seal would become a legend worshipped by thousands ofpeople!

There was also a rumor in the world.

When the Golden Seal appeared, no one would dare defy!

Outside the pavilion, Theo had been standing on guard dozens of yards away.

He saw with his own eyes Philip giving Bowen a token.

To tell the truth, Theo wanted one too.

However…

He knew that if Philip did not give one to him, it meant that he was not qualified yet, or it was not thetime yet.

Theo was full of enthusiasm and vowed to seek acknowledgment from Philip!
