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
“Mr. Clarke, everything is ready.” Theo stepped forward and handed Philip a coat. The wind started blowing. The weather was turning cold. Philip glanced at Theo and suddenly asked, “You saw?” Theo dared not conceal it and replied, “Yes, Mr. Clarke. I’ll work hard.” Philip did not say anything. He took out another token, handed it to Theo, and said, “Once you take it, do you know what you’re about to face?” Theo’s extended hand stopped in the air for a long time, then he solemnly said, “I know that my life and everything I own belongs to you!” The token fell from Philip’s fingers. Theo caught it and held it tightly in the palm of his hand, his eyes sparkling brilliantly! Following that, Philip stood on the spot and stayed for a while. Nine Dragons… Five had been found. The remaining four dragons would be up to chance. Just before Philip left Phoenicia, an uninvited guest arrived. Moses Dunley appeared. “Young Master Clarke, are you in a hurry to return to R
The Alliance again! Philip frowned, then turned to look at Moses to ask, “What’s The Alliance?” Moses smiled faintly and said, “It’s a group with a low profile but very solid background. You can consider it a joint coalition. It integrates all the resources of the world and works to improve all the members of The Alliance! We use the power of the world and do our best to protect the people in the alliance! “The big boss behind The Alliance wants to unite the weak to attack the strong.“The Alliance is a secret multinational corporate group that was established 30 years ago. There are a total of 17 representatives in The Alliance, six consortia, and four large domestic families. With huge capital monopolizing the market, it can control a person's destiny. It can send some to cloud nine instantly, while it can also destroy certain people immediately. If Young Master Clarke is interested, I can be your referral.” After Moses finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Phili
At this moment... In the corridor outside, a crisp sound of high heels hitting the floor tiles came from far and approached. It soon appeared at the door of the ward. Wynn raised her eyebrows and looked over, her face turning unpleasant in an instant. What was she doing here? Philip noticed the change in Wynn’s expression. Turning his head, he saw a woman in a white trench coat with big wavy hair, wearing a black knee-length dress. With those slender and straight calves stepping on a pair of high heels, it made the woman’s temperament appear noble and graceful. Chloe Sommerset. She took off her sunglasses. With exquisite features and a brilliant appearance, she looked like a celebrity. “Why are you here? Didn't you go back to Capital City?” Philip was puzzled and stood up, his face slightly unhappy. Why did Chloe come here at this time? However... Chloe walked in, glanced at Wynn on the hospital bed, and turned her head as her red lips slightly parted. She said to
In an instant, Wynn and Philip were shocked! Several people quickly trotted upstairs. Of course, Wynn was supported by Philip. She dared not run too fast. Charles sweated profusely and said, “I don't know what happened. I just went out for a while and when I came back, I saw your mother getting emergency treatment. After I asked the doctor, I found out that she was poisoned.” Poisoned? Instantly, Philip's face was filled with a cold demeanour! He never expected that someone would poison Martha! Outside the door of the operating room, the family waited anxiously. Wynn was most worried. Her eyes were red, and she kept muttering, “How could such a thing happen? Who would poison Mom?” Charles could still withstand it as he waited by the door. Philip walked aside, called Theo, and said, “Bring some people to the hospital. Martha had an accident.” On the other side of the phone, Theo was immediately surprised and said, “Mr. Clarke, is the mother-in-law dead?” As if he
“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
