“Hahaha, Madam Johnston, at this point, are you still joking with me? To tell you the truth, this set-up today was done specially for your husband!” Ulrich’s face was full of sinister smiles as he continued pressing on Wynn's shoulders. He was about to bite Wynn’s neck. Wynn quickly dodged as tears fell from her eyes. She hated herself for being so naive. She obviously knew that Ulrich was not a good person, yet she came alone, wanting to take Lynn away. Now that she had fallen into his hands, was she going to be ruined in the hands of a man like this? Thinking about it, tears came streaming from the corner of Wynn's eyes. She cried out, “Philip, save me! Ah, let go of me!” The more Wynn cried, the more excited Ulrich became! On the other side, Lynn, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead at the moment, looked at the scene on the sofa with half-closed eyes. She swallowed her chokes and trembled all over. She wanted to help Wynn but was too scared. She was
That minion, with a bruised and swollen face, sneered, “A trash like you wants to see Mr. Craig? Go to hell!” Bam! His reply was another kick from Philip! The kick landed directly on his chest. He flew out several yards, hitting the wall pillar. Just like that, he fainted! At this moment, the hall was stirred by a chill and murderous aura! Theo followed behind Philip. With just one glance, Theo already knew that Philip was livid. The murderous aura radiating from his body was exactly the same as when he was in the underground chamber of commerce! Upon seeing this, Theo also panicked for fear that Philip would demolish this place! This Ulrich Craig was truly capable of causing trouble. Was it not enough to stay alive? He had to provoke Philip and capture Wynn and Lynn. “Oh, isn’t this Master Theo Zander? How did you have the time to visit this small place of mine?” Ulrich was standing on the stairs at the moment. He forced a friendly smile on his sinister face and w
“Ulrich Craig, I’m warning you one last time! Release them!” Theo was completely furious. His face was chilly while his majesty and aura as the underground king rose. This Ulrich Craig was disrespecting him! No matter what, Theo was a prominent figure in Riverdale. Even if Ulrich was from out of town, he should at least understand the rules! “Haha, Theo, I know your position in Riverdale is impressive. But don’t forget, I have a big boss behind me. I’m not afraid of you! Today, you brought so many people with you and barged into my territory. This is an open provocation! If I end you here today, you can only blame your bad luck!” Ulrich glared fiercely and waved his hand! In an instant, ten or so minions behind him and those from the entrance side doors of the company rushed in. They completely surrounded Theo and Philip’s group! They brought weapons! Theo glanced at Philip and found that the latter's face was already gloomy. This showed that Philip was about to erupt
Flint immediately laughed and said sarcastically, “Damn, you’re such an idiot! What are you talking about, mentioning my second uncle? Do you know him? Do you know what he does? Even if you know his name, do you think I’ll be scared of you?” Flint smiled, his face cold and cruel. This wimp actually knew his second uncle’s name. Interesting. “My second uncle is the Second Master of the Hull family! He’s my father's younger brother! My second uncle handles half of the affairs of the Hull family's subsidiary, and there are hundreds of Hull family disciples under him! You should find out what kind of person my second uncle is. He’s an existence that thousands of people admire wherever he goes!” When Flint said this, he looked proud. What he wanted most in his life was to be a great hero like his second uncle! He was not interested in being a businessman like his father. The Hull Chamber of Commerce had always dabbled in civil and military affairs. Flint’s father was a lit
In a blink of an eye, all of Ulrich's people, including those brought by Flint, were almost down. One of Theo’s subordinates rushed over and said directly to Philip, “Mr. Clarke, we found the lady. She’s in the basement!” When Philip heard this, he ignored Flint and Ulrich and walked directly to the basement. “Tiger, take someone along and protect Mr. Clarke,” Theo said. “Yes, Theo.” Tiger nodded in response, then led a dozen or so skilled bodyguards to the basement following Philip. The man was walking in front of him, his pace showing that he was in a hurry. When he reached the basement, Philip kicked the door open and saw Wynn and Lynn locked inside. There were also another three minions inside. Philip saw that Wynn’s clothes were torn and her face was horrified. He felt distressed and angry at the same time! The three minions still attempted to rush over, and as a result, they were knocked to the ground by Philip one after another. They could not get up at all!
From the moment this woman entered the hall, the chill radiated by her made everyone in the hall tremble. Especially her face and expression. It was the kind of arrogance and contempt that exuded from the inside out. It was as if no one in the audience could enter her eyes. Philip glanced sideways at the woman who had suddenly appeared and could not help but frown. His first impressions were always quite accurate. This woman probably had a unique status. As for Theo, the moment he saw this woman, his gaze turned peculiar. He could not help being surprised! Others may not know her, but Theo had been the underground leader in Riverdale for so long, so he recognized her at first sight! This woman’s name was Vinci Hull. She was the eldest daughter of the Hull subsidiary and Flint’s elder sister. This woman was infamous! She was a cold-blooded and ruthless person. He did not expect to see her here! Theo could not help but panic. Philip was going to be mortal enemies wi
Forget it? Hearing this, Philip’s eyes turned cold. He looked at Theo and asked, “Are you afraid of this Lowell family?” Theo shuddered at those words. He nodded respectfully and apologized. “Mr. Clarke, you’ve misunderstood. I’m just worried about causing unnecessary trouble for you. If you need me, I can do anything for you, even going up against the Lowell family!” Theo immediately expressed his attitude. He would go all out for his master. Philip did not say anything to that and glanced at the woman in front of him. After that, he sneered and said to Vinci, “Even if the queen came here today, I want Flint to get his just deserts!” What about the Hull family and Lowell family? Anyone who dared to lay a finger on Wynn must be prepared to get wiped out! No matter how powerful the background, in front of the Clarke family of Arcadia Island, they were nothing more than ants! When Vinci heard this, her eyebrows furrowed. It was only then did she notice the young man n
Theo’s stance at the moment was very domineering! These words really made Vinci's heart tremble! Theo Zander dared to openly confront the Hull family? Was he crazy? “Theo Zander, are you mad? Do you know what you said just now? Do you want to go to war with the Hull family? Do you know that the Hull Organization is behind the Hull family? What power do you have to go up against us?” Vinci was furious! As the eldest daughter of the Hull family and also Seamus Lowell’s fiancée, how could there still possibly be people who disrespected her?! Hateful! However... Theo remained adamant. “Miss Hull, no matter how powerful the strength and background of the Hull family, we’re in Riverdale now and I have the final say! “Besides, if Mr. Clarke doesn’t give the word, anyone who dares to leave here will be crippled by me!” Theo almost roared, his voice loud and majestic! The entire hall was shocked to silence in an instant! Vinci was furious, and for the first time, she f
“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
