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
Then, he turned his head to look at Theo and said, “Theo, out of the goodness of my heart, I suggest that you hurry up and draw a clear line with this idiot. Otherwise, I’ll take care of you all at once! By then, Riverdale will become the Hull family’s territory!” Seeing Flint's arrogance, Theo felt angry and helpless. This kid was really stupid. Could he really not tell that Philip was not afraid of the Hull family at all? Even Sven Hull, that old fogey, was sent back in a half-dead state after falling into the hands of Philip. Could it be that after such a long time, the Hull family still did not receive the news? Was the matter being suppressed? As the heir of the local Hull family, Flint had no right to know about it? Philip simply stood there, motionless like a mountain. He was covered in a majestic aura, and his eyes had condensed with coldness. His patience toward Flint had reached the limit. Since Flint wanted to die, he would fulfill his wishes. “Theo, tr
Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded at the sudden appearance of these heavily armed combatants! Especially Vinci and Flint whose faces paled at this moment. They were experiencing tremors all over their bodies. Vinci’s expression was very dark, and her beautiful eyebrows were tightly twisted together! She never dreamed that in tiny Riverdale, there would be people who could mobilize fully armed combatants! Even the Hull family had no right to do so! How could this be? Could it be that the young man in front of her was really not that simple?! This was Vinci’s guess and fear. As for Flint, his mind went completely blank while his eyes were filled with shock. Throughout his life, the only time he saw a few heavily armed combatants participating in a fight was because of the Lowell family! Now, it was happening again right before his eyes! This time, it was because of another man! Flint was stunned! He always thought that Philip was just trash. Even if he had so
At this moment, Vinci’s fiancé, Seamus Lowell, the most outstanding talent from the Lowell family's younger generation, was negotiating business with some people in a high-end club in Riverdale. After receiving a call from Vinci, Seamus suddenly raised his brows. His face darkened when he heard that someone was not giving the Hull family any respect. “Disrespecting the Hull family? Does the other party come from a big background?” Seamus, in a white suit, asked slightly in surprise. There were people who dared to do this to the Hull family? A little Riverdale could produce such a character? Then, Seamus asked again, “Does the other party know that you’re my fiancée?” “I told them, but they’re still not buying it,” Vinci said aggrievedly. This woman really could act. Instantly, Seamus, who was on the other end of the phone, became furious. He shouted in a deep voice, “What? They’re not even respecting the Lowell family now? F*ck! Who dares to be so arrogant?!” “I don’t k
When Seamus saw the man standing in front of him at the moment, his originally arrogant demeanor immediately deflated while his face turned green. He did not expect to run into Philip Clarke in this tiny Riverdale! Damn it! Could it be that he was the one Vinci provoked? In an instant, a jumble of thoughts crossed Seamus’ mind. On Vinci's side, she immediately twisted her hips and walked toward Seamus coquettishly when she saw him coming. She took his arm and cried out, “Hubby, you’re finally here! This is the kid who’s not giving the Hull family any respect, let alone the Lowell family. He even kept saying that he’s going to cripple my brother!” Vinci’s face at this moment was very arrogant and domineering. Her look and demeanor revealed her dominance as the lady and fiancée of a wealthy family. Hehe. Anyone who fought against her deserved a miserable death! “Brother-in-law Seamus, you must take revenge for me. Look at me. He did this to me!” Flint wailed and sob
In the brief meeting that year, he also had the honor to exchange a few words with Philip. It was precisely because of that few words and Philip praising him for being capable that his career developed progressively in the next few years! The Lowell family also encountered an unprecedented opportunity for development. In one fell swoop, they rose to the top among the country's largest family companies and became one of the giants.In other words, Seamus Lowell as well as the Lowell family were what they were today because of the few words from Philip Clarke!At this moment, this stupid fiancée of his actually wanted to lay a hand on the great benefactor of the Lowell family!She was courting death! Seamus was so furious that his entire face went green! Vinci stared at Seamus with a stunned look. In front of so many people, her fiancé had hit her just to protect an ignorant and stinking man! “Seamus Lowell, what are you doing? I’m your fiancée! You actually hit me because
When Flint saw Seamus walking toward him with a grim look, he immediately panicked. He said in horror, “Seamus, what are you going to do? No, I’m your brother-in-law, the heir of the Hull family. You can’t beat me because of that wretch!” Flint was witnessing his future brother-in-law going berserk. He was like the devil incarnate! Seamus just looked at Flint coldly and rolled up his sleeves, saying, “Flint, since you made a mistake and provoked Young Master Clarke, you should know what your fate is!” With that said, Seamus went up and kicked Flint in the heart! This kick was forcefully heavy and even more ruthless than Theo’s before. It was a kick that could take someone’s life! A scream of pain. Flint flew out again! There was a cracking sound. This time, his leg was broken again! Flint’s face was suddenly flushed as his expression became contorted from the pain. “Seamus, don’t, I was wrong. I was really wrong.” Flint begged for mercy. He was scared. His
“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
