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
Rick faced the waves and said, “Well, regarding the news about Young Miss, I’ll tell you the details when 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 to return.” 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 and protecting 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
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
“Are you referring to humans like us or unique races like them?” Philip was surprised that Rabbit sensed something that he did not. Philip stroked Rabbit's round head with satisfaction as a compliment to him. Rabbit wiggled his short tail in pride. He really felt something was wrong, so he hoped Philip would pay attention to it. “I don’t think they're one of us. They're more likely one of the unique races.” Rabbit did not kick up a fuss after he noticed something was wrong but simply spoke to Philip on the side. He knew that these people might go crazy if they found out people were living in their ancestral land. Philip looked at Rabbit solemnly. After much deliberation, he finally decided to tell Selma about the discovery. Meanwhile, Selma was still thinking about how to get rid of Ariadna when Philip pulled her aside all of a sudden. Selma looked at Philip shyly with a hint of panic in her eyes. “I need to tell you something. Be mentally prepared for it,” Philip said se
If Philip had not been on guard, he might have been misled by the mist into thinking that it was nothing. Others rushed over, eager to find out what happened. Ronan looked around excitedly. He wanted to judge the situation by the traces left behind, but surprisingly, there was no sign of a battle. He was confused and wondered what had happened. He had been expecting a fierce battle. After all, it was very difficult to subdue such things. However, he saw a scene of peace in front of him. “Philip, what happened? Something feels wrong. There should be something toxic here, but I don’t see anything. Are you too strong or are those things too cunning?” Ronan was very curious and felt that things were more than met the eye. “You’ll find out soon. Anyway, did those guys follow you?” Philip looked back at the restless people mockingly. They were not that strong, but they would never miss any chance to take advantage of others. “Some of them did follow us, but they're not very quick
“On top of that, I can also help to expand your awareness and enhance your mental strength.” Philip persuaded the mist with everything he had, hoping that it would leave with him. He was strong enough to interact with the mist in an equal setting. If the mist refused to give in, Philip would consider beating it into submission. After much deliberation, the mist, who was more like an innocent child, agreed to Philip’s suggestion. Philip felt the excitement expressed by the mist. “I’ll take you into my space now. Don’t resist. You’ll feel that mysterious power in a minute.” He took the mist into his space, and the large expanse of blue mist vanished in an instant. The fierce killing intent in the passage disappeared with it. Philip looked at the disappearing mist in excitement. He found something very good this time. The mist was obviously still in its growing stage, an ignorant little thing at present. The mist would grow under his help into a strong existence. He was glad to
Arachne and the others saw the mist and were frightened. They quickly hid beside the snake people without lurking in the dark anymore. “What’s up with the weird mist?” The spider people brought more people than Selma’s team this time. Everyone was squeezed in this place, making it a little crowded. The snake people looked at them in disdain, shocked that they had the nerve to approach them. “Don’t you see how crowded this place is? Stop squeezing your way inside!” Cavin said with disdain. Although Cavin looked like a timid child who anyone could bully, he was quite manly in a confrontation. Rabbit huffed at them in anger but did not know what to say. Arachne rolled her eyes. “This is obviously the only safe place around. Where should we go if not here? You can leave if you think it’s crowded,” Arachne sneered with disdain. They knew that Philip had entered the danger zone, so they wanted to stay close to keep abreast of his updated situation. However, they overlooked
Whether the fine wine or the delicious beast meat provided by Philip, their strength improved greatly after the meal, which was simply too good to be true. Everyone guessed whether eating such meat on a long-term basis would make their bodies stronger. “Our business will definitely soar if we have such meat on the menu!” Selma marveled solemnly. She knew how attractive the meat was to humans or other races. It was worth looking forward to a meal that could improve one’s strength. Moreover, they could feel their bodies slowly absorbing the meat’s energy without going to waste, and they did not have to go through the effort of absorbing it, which was simply amazing. When Philip and his people left after having their fill, Arachne followed them with her people. Ariadna was so jealous that her thoughts became distorted. If she had not been so stupid back then, she might have gotten the chance to sit with Philip and enjoy the meal too. She lost the chance because she was stupid and
