This… This was too forceful! Did he not know of Miss Clarke’s background? Was he just blatantly disregarding her? If it was the latter, then this Mr. Clarke was simply too arrogant! Rachel twisted her eyebrows and stared at Philip. After a long time, she said calmly, “Your face seems familiar to me, but I can't recall. Have we met before?” “Miss Clarke, he’s that Mr. Clarke who snatched the jade and gold phoenix from the last auction!” Wallace was being supported by someone as he shouted. “Oh, it’s Mr. Clarke. I’ve heard of you.” Rachel nodded slightly, showing a very intrigued expression. However... Philip shook his head faintly and smiled slightly, “Miss Clarke, are you deliberately pretending not to know me? Could it be that you’ve forgotten about the time we were in the same changing room together?” It was a slap to her face! Philip had exposed the incident from back then. Rachel trembled on the spot. Frowning, she gritted her teeth and stared at Philip fi
“You! How dare you!” Rachel was about to explode! She never expected that Philip would dare to act like this! Had he not been living as an outcast in Riverdale for many years? Why was such a good-for-nothing suddenly so strong and fierce?! Rachel could not understand this! Although she knew that Philip's identity was not simple, such a guy could not suddenly become so powerful! Was this the reason why the lord was so concerned about Philip? Who the hell was this guy? Rachel had made investigations into Philip’s details a long time ago, but apart from the superficial stuff, she really could not find anything. The young master of the Clarke Group in Capital City, the boss behind the scenes of the Milanelson Angel Investment Group… ‘Wynn, oh Wynn, does your husband really own just these identities?’ In the hall! Wallace fell in a pool of blood, howling pathetically while his legs were covered in blood. These two gunshots completely destroyed Wallace's chance to
Philip said, “Wallace’s death was decided a long time ago. If you wish to protect him, I'm afraid you can’t. What I’m interested in now is, who is the lord you just mentioned?” Rachel immediately went on guard with a solemn expression on her face. This man felt so different now, his every action confusing. Moreover, he was being very forceful and not at an ordinary level! He seemed calm on the surface, but once his wrath was ignited, he was filled with violent wind and huge waves! Rachel had a bad premonition, and her pair of beautiful eyes lingered on Philip for a while. “Mr. Clarke, I’m afraid you’re not qualified to know this.” Rachel smiled as a trace of disdain flashed from the corner of her eyes. Then, she said, “Of course, if Mr. Clarke joins us and becomes one of us, you’ll naturally know the identity of the lord.” Suddenly! A raucous laugh came from the door! “Hahaha! Miss Clarke, this is unlike your usual style. Why? Are you scared of a kid who has not g
The audience was deadly silent! Everyone's eyes widened as they looked at Philip in the room. He was majestic like a mountain, had an aura like a mighty ocean, a frosty expression, and a scorching gaze. It made all the underground leaders suck in a deep breath! Hiss! Too brazen! Unbelievable! Philip actually dared to say that to Second Master Hull. He simply did not put the second master of the Hull Clan in his eyes! Did he know the person standing in front of him? It was Second Master Hull! He was an infamous figure! In the entire country, he was an unbeatable force! His status was comparable to the distinguished status of Miss Clarke’s! Moreover, he was the core member of the subsidiary of the Hull Organization! He was the second master of the Hull family and also the younger brother of the current patriarch of the Hull family! No matter what, Philip’s earlier insinuation about Second Master Hull dying was simply him courting his own death! Second Master H
A cold voice rang in the hall. “Shawn Hane, have you decided yet?” Philip looked at Shawn with his hands behind his back. He turned his head and stared at him with eyes full of biting chill. It was this look! Shawn sweated profusely at that look! It reminded him of that event eight years ago! For a moment, Shawn stood there blankly while the cold sweat on his forehead fell like torrential rain. Second Master Hull naturally saw the change in Shawn’s expression and immediately sneered at him, “Why, Master Hane, are you actually scared of this junior?” It took a long time for Shawn to squeeze out a smile and respectfully bend over to Philip, saying, “Young Master Clarke, what are your orders?” As early as a few minutes ago, Shawn had already decided. The sudden respectful stance by Shawn made everyone confused. At the same time, they had even more doubts about Philip's identity! This was unexpected. Even Shawn Hane was treating him respectfully! This Mr. Clarke
He wanted to move not only the Hull family but also the Hull Clan? Preposterous! Did he know what kind of existence Hull Clan was? A behemoth! The force of the stormy sea! With a wave of their hand, they could dispel the powers of the violent wind and huge waves! It should be noted that the position and power of the Hull Clan in the country and abroad was very strong, especially the several global listed companies controlled by Hull Clan. They had assets worth tens of billions! In other words, assets belonging to the Hull Clan were at the level of hundreds of billions! Moreover, it was a global influence! They were the ultimate affluent family! Even the subsidiary of the Hull Organization in the country alone was enough for many people to look up to. Not to mention the main Hull Organization abroad that was simply a godlike existence! However, now, this arrogant Philip actually said such brazen words! He wanted to move the Hull Clan? Ridiculous! Wishful th
He could not help it. He was there only for two years just to obtain the status. The other 107 members were the truly invincible existence! Thinking of this, the other big shots were shocked! Terrifying! Unexpectedly, this Mr. Clarke possessed such an identity! Second Master Hull also panicked. Obviously, he did not expect that this person was the guy who destroyed his nephew's limbs! However, he dared not do anything else but roar angrily at this person! It was because he understood the meaning of the identity of the 108 defenders! Every single one of them was highly respected by all the people! They were the ones who used their flesh and blood to protect the borders of the country and deter foreign enemies! They had an unspeakable esteemed honor! Any distinguished honor was a death-free gold medal! To oppose them was to oppose the country! It was an act of seeking death! Second Master Hull was trembling all over, full of anger. At this moment, however, t
As soon as his words fell, various voices in the hall rang. “Mr. Clarke!” “Mr. Clarke!” “Mr. Clarke!” The big bosses scrambled to stand up, afraid that they would be one step too late. “I, Ken Cooke of the South River District, will follow the orders of Mr. Clarke of Riverdale. Congratulations to Mr. Clarke for becoming the leader of the southern district!” At this moment, Ken stood up and congratulated. “I, Yana Young from the Beauty Palace of the South River District, would like to follow the orders of Mr. Clarke of Riverdale. Congratulations to Mr. Clarke!” Yana also followed and said. “Moses Dunley of the Prime Harvest Group. Congratulations to Mr. Clarke!” Moses Dunley, who was sitting at the end, also stood up and smiled. Immediately afterward, the big bosses in the audience all bowed and congratulated him. “Queso Gang of Golden City…” “White Dragon Gate of Golden City…” “Gibson Hart of Golden City’s Fiery Koi Gang would like to follow the orders of Mr. Clar
Fitz felt particularly bad at the thought that he failed to protect his people. He vowed to take revenge. People of other races shared the same thoughts. Everyone thought that their people had gone out to seek ways to leave but were met with an accident. Unexpectedly, they were harmed by the spider people, which was simply despicable and unacceptable. “You just need to sacrifice one more person for everyone to leave this dangerous place and lift the curse from us,” Weaver said. Everyone's eyes turned bloodshot at his words, shocked that Weaver would say that so openly. “Hehe, you’re really bold to perform a sacrifice. Why not use one of your own?” Fitz laughed and stared at Weaver. Weaver scowled. Of course, the idea crossed his mind, but the records stated that they had to use other races for sacrifice. Using their own people as sacrifice would void it, so they had to use others. This would not only reduce the other party’s manpower but also save a lot of effort. However,
Philip wanted to figure out what the spider people were up to. It looked like they had been planning this for a long time, which was terrifying. He had to let the others know about this. Everyone had the right to know. Moreover, the pitiful magpie woman was scared out of her wits. Philip had to bring her home. “Let's go back now. We’ll explore this place later. Do you want to stay here or go out with us?” Philip looked at Celeste curiously. He did not think she was brave enough to venture out. Sure enough, Celeste tugged at the corner of her clothes as she pondered. “I'll go out with you!” Celeste finally decided after much deliberation. Since she had decided to follow Philip, there was no point in hiding here anymore. She had to pluck up the courage. Celeste had lived in the forest for very long and had never gone out before, so she was curious about the outside world. “I want to see the outside world!” Celeste said nervously. Philip simply nodded without a word. The
At this point, Philip sprang into action. He appeared in front of the other party, catching them off guard. “Who allowed you to kill people for no reason?” The spider people were shocked by Philip’s sudden appearance. They were frightened to see someone there, and he was none other than the human who had strayed into this place by accident. The spiders panicked and wanted to run, but Philip quickly released Puffy. The spider people could not escape because of the curse placed on them and also because of Puffy's existence. The passage only allowed entry, not exit. When anyone stepped into that passage, they would not only come under Puffy’s attack but also suffer a gut-wrenching pain. They felt something was wrong when they tried to escape. Someone noticed Puffy approaching them and yelled in fear, “It’s that deadly thing!” Someone recognized Puffy and ran away screaming. They had no chance of winning against Puffy, so they had no choice but to run. Seeing someone running aw
Philip could tell that Celeste wanted to help, but she was too weak to do anything. “Don’t worry so much. Let’s wait and see what happens. If possible, we won’t stand by and do nothing. These people are simply outrageous.” Philip did not have a good impression of the spider people, and this incident made it worse. “Not bad!” Rabbit hopped onto Celeste’s shoulder excitedly. Ever since he found out that Celeste had no ability, he liked her even more. He liked people who had no combat power. Except for that extra eye, there was nothing strange about her. Besides, she was quite a beautiful woman, so Rabbit was fond of her. “Philip will take care of it. Don’t worry about it. He’s an outstanding man who fights for justice. You’ll have a good life if you follow Philip, especially since you have that ability but are powerless to take care of yourself. I’m sure you need someone to protect you,” Rabbit chattered away. Rabbit knew how special Celeste’s ability was. She would be of gr
Celeste seemed simple and kind, and after she told Philip everything she knew, Philip and Rabbit gradually changed their minds about her for the better. “We actually learned such a big secret this time. What a surprise!” Philip exclaimed. He followed Celeste to the altar, which was very far away. Before they reached the altar, they smelled a strong stench of blood. Philip frowned at this unexpected development. Rabbit covered his nose in surprise at the strong stench of blood. “Wait, I don’t think it’s human blood.” Philip sensed that the blood came from the few pitiful races. “I can smell it. Except for the spider people, I smell the blood of other races!” At this moment, a soft sound came from the side. Celeste quickly pulled Philip and Rabbit to hide in the corner. Celeste had lost the ability to be invisible, so she could only take Philip to hide in a panic. She knew that they could not expose themselves. “Someone is coming. Stay here and don’t do anything. You’ll f
“No one ever comes to my place. You must be outsiders.” Celeste was curious, wondering who Philip was. Celeste knew about the four unique races, but Philip’s appearance and form did not fit any of them. “You’re right. I’m an outsider. I wanted to know something, so I came to the forest. It’s best if you can give me an answer. I don’t intend to harm anyone. If you can answer my questions, I’ll leave and remove the curse on you as well,” Philip persuaded her. He felt that the woman was quite sincere, different from what he imagined. In that case, there was no need to make things difficult for her. Besides, he did not feel a murderous vibe in her, so she had probably never done anything bad. Philip had no reason to make things difficult for someone who liked to hide and sing. “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I know, but I don’t really know much. I usually stay in my own territory and have no contact with the outside world. Even the other races don't know of my existence.” Rabbit
Philip felt that there was no problem with his hearing. Someone was humming a song, and the tune sounded very strange and spooky in the dark forest. Rabbit frowned and nodded. He also heard the strange sound and was scared. “Who has nothing better to do but to sing here?” Rabbit nervously grabbed the corner of Philip's clothes, afraid that Philip would leave him behind. Philip shook his head. According to the others, no one would come here for no reason. Due to various dangers in the forest, they would only wander around the edge without seeking trouble in the depths. In that case, the abrupt singing voice was very strange, indeed. “Philip, don't be nervous. Stay calm.” Rabbit's voice was trembling. Although Rabbit kept telling Philip to stay calm, he was already freaking out, so scared that he nearly wanted to run away. Philip knew Rabbit’s character, so he did not comment. He simply observed the surroundings and listened carefully to the sound, which was so ethereal tha
Philip took Puffy along and quickly arrived in a forest where the other races usually hunted, so they should not face any danger here. As soon as Philip left, a woman appeared in the corner and looked in the direction where Philip left with a conflicted look on her face. “Should I follow him?” Ariadna had been left behind in the snake people’s village. She had no friends, and no one paid her any attention. Sometimes, they even displayed their ridicule and disdain for her. She did not get good treatment even though she was a junior from the outside world. In desperation, Ariadna decided to follow Philip. Unexpectedly, she saw Philip with a cute kid the next second. Ariadna was surprised to see that Philip had such a big and cute child. “Wait, that kid looks a little weird.” Due to the distance, Ariadna could not see what the kid looked like, but his color and body shape seemed different from that of normal people. After much deliberation, Ariadna decided to tag along, co
“I’ll look around and find out what’s going on. Don’t worry about me. Look for Ronan if anything crops up.” Philip decided to leave Ronan in charge. Ronan did not object. He knew that Philip wanted to train him. He rarely interacted with others, so he had poor social skills. He had improved with Philip’s help, but his skills were still nothing compared to Philip’s subordinates. He was deeply moved by the opportunity that Philip had given him. “Sure enough, heroes will emerge from the youth. You two will have a bright future!” Wren said excitedly. Philip did not comment. After a few pleasantries, he wandered around with Rabbit. Selma and her people had no time for Philip. They finally found their predecessors, so they had many questions to solve. Philip was most interested in getting to the bottom of this mysterious place. It felt more like a cage designed to trap them. It was devoid of rich energy and other resources suitable for them. What was the purpose of the person b
