URBAN VILLAIN SYSTEM

Chapter 184: The Crown Prince of the Clark Family

The conclusion of the Golden Flag, Red Flag, and White Flag battles should have brought peace to Nine Lotus Academy.

Instead, the martial world became even more chaotic.

Every major martial network, financial platform, and business channel seemed to discuss only one name.

Tony Clark. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

The young man who entered the tournament as a controversial participant had somehow emerged as the biggest winner of the entire event.

Thirty World Tree Blessing slots.

First Rank.

Golden Flag Champion.

Owner of the most discussed dragon techniques in the younger generation.

Within a single week, Tony’s popularity exploded to a level nobody anticipated.

Videos of his battles circulated endlessly.

Martial analysts spent entire nights discussing his techniques.

Some claimed he possessed an ancient dragon inheritance.

Others believed he secretly inherited the legacy of a forgotten supreme expert.

The more people discussed him, the more mysterious he became.

And whenever mystery appeared...

Money followed.

Across the nation, Clark Family business shares surged repeatedly.

Investment companies rushed to establish partnerships.

Several powerful families openly announced strategic cooperation agreements with Clark-owned enterprises.

A famous financial expert even stated publicly:

"If Tony Clark survives the World Tree Blessing, the Clark Family may become one of the strongest forces among the younger-generation factions within twenty years."

The statement immediately caused another market surge.

***

Meanwhile...

The Clark Family itself had become a political battlefield.

Every elder wanted access to Tony. Every branch family wanted favors.

Every business representative wanted signatures... Every alliance wanted promises.

The reason was simple... Thirty World Tree slots. Thirty opportunities capable of changing destinies.

Inside the main ancestral hall, dozens of elders gathered around a giant conference table.

The atmosphere remained heated... Arguments continued endlessly.

"Three slots should be auctioned."

"No. Five."

"We need resources."

"We need allies."

"We need influence."

"We need future investment."

The discussion grew increasingly chaotic until Patriarch Rion slammed his hand onto the table.

The entire room immediately became silent.

The old patriarch slowly stood. Then he looked toward the young man sitting quietly near the window.

Tony... The owner of thirty slots. The biggest surprise of the generation.

Rion’s gaze softened slightly. "Tony."

The room immediately focused on him.

Tony lazily looked up. "What is it, father?"

"What are your plans regarding the thirty slots?"

The room became silent... Everyone waited. Tony always do unexpected things and this time, they were afraid Tony would do something with those 30 spots.

Tony slowly stretched before answering.

"Leo already has a slot... Lily has hers. All the important people related to me got a world tree blessing spot. So, I decided to give them to the family."

Silence... Complete silence.

Several elders thought they misheard.

One elder actually stood up.

"All thirty?"

Tony looked confused. "Are you eliminating me? 29... I need one for myself, right!"

The old man almost suffered internal injuries as he realised the mistake.

Meanwhile, Patriarch Rion stared at Tony for a long moment. Because he understood what those words meant. His son wasn’t merely giving away resources. He was giving away trump card."

Finally... Rion laughed after realising the opportunity presented before him. He looked toward every elder present. Then toward every representative.

"I have made a decision... The Clark Family exists today because each generation produces someone capable of carrying its future."

The elders nodded.

Rion continued. "Sometimes that person is chosen through blood. Sometimes through talent. Sometimes through merit."

His gaze settled on Tony.

"This time... There can be no debate."

Several elders already understood... Others widened their eyes.

Rion slowly raised his hand. "From this day forward, Tony Clark shall become the Crown Prince of the Clark Family."

The hall exploded. Several elders stood instantly. Others gasped.

Some nearly dropped their tea.

The title carried enormous meaning. Only one person in each generation could receive it.

The designated successor... The future patriarch. The heir of the entire family.

Rion continued before anyone could interrupt.

"Unless death or extraordinary circumstances prevent it, Tony Clark will inherit leadership of the Clark Family in the future."

The room became completely silent. The decision was final.

For several seconds, nobody spoke.

Then the ancestor stood up first. "I support the decision."

Now, there is no turning back as ancestor approved it.

The 3rd elders face turned ugly. Kevin Clark held his fists with unwilling look.

Another elder rose. "I support it."

Then another... And another... And another. Within moments, every elder had stood.

Unanimous approval... Something almost unheard of within the Clark Family.

Tony just smiled without any pride. For him, this is not his target now.

The announcement spread across the martial networks less than an hour later. And the reaction exceeded every expectation.

The entire nation exploded.

"Clark Family Names New Crown Prince!"

"Tony Clark Officially Becomes Future Patriarch!"

"The Biggest Surprise of the Generation!"

"From Dark Horse to Heir Apparent!"

Millions of comments flooded the networks.

Even rival families struggled to believe it.

Meanwhile, deep inside the Imperial Family residence, Mark Smith quietly read the announcement.

The paper crumpled slightly inside his hand.

Tony Clark.

First Rank.

Future Patriarch.

Thirty World Tree slots.

Everything seemed to revolve around the same person.

Mark slowly lowered the report.

His expression remained calm. Because the anger had already passed.

Only determination remained. The World Tree Blessing would decide everything.

There...

No family title would matter. No political influence would matter.

Far away, Emma Rock received the same announcement. Several invitation letters still covered her desk. Marriage proposals... Alliance offers... Adoption requests... Resource contracts.

All ignored.

She glanced at Tony’s newly announced title before quietly setting the report aside.

Then she rejected three more invitations.

The messenger leaving the room looked completely defeated.

Natasha couldn’t help laughing.

"You really aren’t interested?"

Emma shook her head.

"No."

"What are you interested in then?"

Emma looked toward the distant ocean visible beyond the academy.

The World Tree.

The upcoming blessing.

The opportunity that would change countless destinies.

A faint smile appeared on her face. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"Getting stronger and taking revenge!"

***

Meanwhile, far beyond the academy, far beyond the cities, far beyond the reach of ordinary humans, a giant crack suddenly appeared across the surface of the World Tree Blessing Pod.

Golden light erupted into the heavens.

The ocean trembled.

The sky changed color.

Every qualified participant’s identity token lit up simultaneously.

A single message appeared.

WORLD TREE BLESSING OPENS IN FIVE DAYS.
