“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
“He… He shot Second Master Hull?” “Second Master Hull is… dead?” Second Master Hull, who was so overbearing just now, fell in front of them like a piece of decayed wood. Shocked! A biting chill! Everyone gulped. They were shaking all over, fearing that the next one would be one of them. Especially Rachel Clarke, who stood closest to Second Master Hull. She went weak in the knees with her fists so tightly clenched that her fingernails were digging into the palms of her hands. She stared to the side at Second Master Hull who was lying in a pool of blood, seemingly looking at her with wide eyes. Her entire body was filled with a chilling horror! Immediately afterward, Rachel turned around angrily and stared at Philip who was sitting on the stage. She shouted, “Are you crazy?! He's the second master of the Hull family! The younger brother of Solomon Hull! The core figure of the subsidiary of the Hull Organization! By doing this, you’re picking a fight with the Hull Clan
“You never considered the consequences when you tried to take advantage of us. We brought them here, and they have the right to choose. Don't think about taking advantage.” Philip nodded at Fitz’s attitude. Sure enough, he liked this earnest man and was happy with his point of view. “If you want something, you need to pay a price for it. As I mentioned, I’m a businessman, so I prefer fair trade. I’m more than happy if you want to discuss a deal with me.” In fact, they had reached an agreement before the spider people arrived. Philip would not help the other three races for free, but he was not bad enough to charge them fees either. However, the spider people were different. Not to mention that Philip had a bad impression of them, but Rabbit’s grudge also remained unavenged. The spider people scowled at Philip’s disrespect, which was simply outrageous. The other races laughed gloatingly. The spider people had always been arrogant and domineering, preventing their developme
“I'm afraid that the snake people will strike a deal with him and monopolize everything.” The old man anxiously led everyone in the direction of the snake people. They could not miss the chance to share a piece of the pie. However, he did not intend to tell his people about it. The other two races no longer existed in the outside world, so it did not matter if they could not leave. It would be best to let their legends fade away in history. That idea was very selfish. Just when he thought he could grab all the benefits by stealth, the snake people shared the information without keeping it a secret. However, the snake people only shared the news with the other two races. They did not have a good impression of the spider people and even had the idea of leaving them behind. When the spider people hurried over, they found a crowd. They saw not only the young ones of the snake people but also those from the other two races. The other two races were the turtles and magpies. Just li
The old man felt annoyed when he saw the two women not getting along. He knew that the holy maidens of the family would face a lot of struggles. Ambitious women would try every means to cause trouble just to destroy the status of the holy maidens. By doing so, they could find ways to replace them. It was an underhanded method but effective. After all, not everyone could cope with the distinguished status of the holy maiden. One mistake could be fatal. Therefore, a holy maiden had to be prideful and flawless, just like an untainted and pure white lotus. The old man nodded thoughtfully. He did not think that Arachne looked like the holy maiden, and his suspicions were confirmed. She was not the holy maiden at all. Actions spoke louder than words. Arachne did not carry a regal bearing, so she would not act like a queen even if she wore a crown. At first, the old man wondered why the spider family would choose someone so unbefitting for the role of the holy maiden. Now that
At this point, an old man walked over. Although they usually maintained their true form, they sometimes took on a human form. Unlike the snake people who did not look very different between the two forms, the spider people looked outrageous in their true forms. “Are you one of the younger generation from outside?” The old man was curious to see the younger children's arrival at this place today. As someone who could not wait to make an impression, Arachne rushed forward and began to introduce herself. In short, Arachne was gradually taking over Ariadna’s position. Although the others were annoyed, they did not say anything because Arachne was really putting in some effort. There was no point in arguing about such things. The most important thing was to remove their curse. The old man was very excited and could not wait to welcome them. “This is wonderful. It has been thousands of years since we saw an outsider!” His eyes gleamed with excitement. “Tell me how you got in,” he
“Now that the spider people have found new blood, I’m afraid that things will worsen.” At this point, Fitz sighed helplessly. Rabbit jumped out at this time. He hated the spider people. Hearing their shameless behavior, Rabbit was agitated. “Sure enough, those spiders are up to no good. Philip, why don’t we just get rid of them? Take it as revenge for me!” Rabbit waved his paw and looked at Philip excitedly. He knew that only Philip could help him. The spiders might not be strong, but they had strength in numbers. They were not people to be trifled with. While Philip and the others were chatting, Ariadna and her people found the spider people. Arachne was very excited and smug, waiting to take all the credit. “As I said, we can find something we've been looking for if we enter this place! Sure enough, following Philip can help us overcome all difficulties and find our ancestral land and predecessors. So what if they're trapped here? They must have many more treasures and secr
They could also see some toddlers, which proved that the predecessors were living quite a good life. “We thought you had ascended to another place. Is this the place you ended up? It doesn’t look like the paradise described in the books!” Selma blinked innocently, wondering why this place looked like this. This place was not rich in energy, and there was nothing special about it, so it was not attractive at all. “We didn’t ascend but have been trapped in this place over the years with no way to leave.” Fitz did not want to deceive them and simply told them the facts. Now that they had entered, the newcomers had no way of leaving either. “Didn’t you notice? The passage that led you in has been sealed. There’s no way to leave now.” Selma turned her head curiously and looked at the exit. Philip followed suit and found that it was indeed the case. The exit was blocked by a huge stone. No one knew when the stone appeared. It felt like it appeared out of thin air. Philip's ex
When Philip’s eyes adjusted to the light, he saw a gurgling stream in front of him. There was a small village beside the stream and many more villages along the stream. Philip counted four in total. The villagers who lived along the stream observed Philip as he looked at them. “Outsiders?” A man standing in the front stared at Philip in surprised disbelief. Philip noticed that he had a snake tail. Hearing the man's words, everyone ran out. Without exception, they all had a snake tail. It was clear that they belonged to the same race as Selma. Selma covered her mouth in shock at this scene. It was true. Their predecessors were staying there. The man mellowed down after seeing Selma. He felt a familiar vibe on her. It seemed that they shared the same bloodline. Philip nudged Selma, who quickly understood his meaning and showed her true form. Cavin followed her cue. Seeing this scene, the man laughed and applauded. The spider people arrived at this time. They were surpri
Philip finally realized that Ariadna was not wealthy enough to do business with him. “This emerald pendant is very valuable! Don’t look down on it just because you’re strong!” Ariadna grumbled under her breath but had no choice but to accept it. After all, Philip had the final say about its value. Maybe her treasure was worthless to Philip because he was too strong for it. After taking the emerald pendant, Philip told Ariadna what he knew per their agreement, which was the secret about people living in the ancestral land. As expected, Ariadna was shocked by the news too. “Are you serious? This is too far-fetched. Are you saying that our predecessors have been trapped here and haven't left for another place?” Her outburst gave Philip a different idea. When he spoke to Selma earlier, he subconsciously believed that these so-called predecessors had ascended. It was strange that they reached a very odd place of ascension. After hearing Ariadna’s remark, however, it seemed mor
No one knew if their predecessors would treat them as their own. Although they had the same bloodline, they had not seen each other for such a long time. Besides, they sneaked into the ancestral land without permission. Maybe they would be killed before they stepped inside. Philip’s information was very useful, indeed. Selma quickly returned to her family members in a panic and discussed with them. With only a few of them, the discussion was very brief before they reached a decision. Cavin grimaced at this unexpected development, and he was more in awe of Philip. He was shocked by Philip’s strength. If Philip could sense that, his observation skill was nothing in front of Philip! Cavin felt helpless about it. It felt a little embarrassing to have shown off his skill in front of Philip now. “Selma, what should we do now? We have to consider the stalkers behind us. They won’t give up that easily. We may be in trouble if we don't find a way to get rid of them.” Cavin glanced at th
