Fennel scoffed, shook his head, and said, “No way. The young master of the Hull subsidiary kidnapped Young Master Clarke’s wife and sister-in-law. Even the stupid woman Vinci Hull vowed to fight against Young Master Clarke. In my opinion, the current Hull subsidiary is trying its best to deal with the young master. Do you think that under such a situation, the young master can let them off?” Rumble! A bolt of lightning struck Yeager’s heart! He would never have thought that the damned Flint Hull would provoke Philip’s wife! Was that not akin to courting death? “This... Is there no other way?” Yeager was completely daunted. The only thought in his mind now was how to rescue this. However, Fennel’s answer to him was still so brief and powerful. “If you want to survive, don't intervene. Otherwise, same treatment.” Crack! This sentence struck Yeager’s heartstrings. In an instant, he seemed to be drained of all energy as his eyes became blank. Following that... With
As soon as Colin's words came out, the entire hall went deadly silent! It was a long while before anyone reacted, and all kinds of remarks suddenly broke out. Everyone had an unbelievable look and expression on their face. “Patriarch, is what you said true? The Lowell family broke all cooperation with us?” “What is the meaning of this? Abandoning us after squeezing us dry? Do they even put the Hull family in their eyes?” “Damn it! The Lowell family deserves to die! How dare they annul the marriage?! This is treachery! They will be condemned!” For a while, everyone vented their dissatisfaction and anger. Everyone neglected Colin’s first sentence—someone was about to deal with the Hull family. It was because in their opinion, no one would dare to attack the Hull family at all. Therefore, they naturally ignored this sentence. Was that a joke? Attack the Hull family? Were they tired of living? However, some keen people did exist among them. It was because they notic
Everyone could not believe that this sentence was uttered by Colin Hull, the head of the Hull subsidiary, a fearless existence! The biggest crisis of the century. Total family destruction! How could this be? However, following that... At the entrance of the hall, a group of Hull family disciples dressed in black martial arts uniforms walked in carrying a stretcher. On the stretcher, it was Second Master Sven Hull. He was wearing a breathing mask and looked extremely weak. At this moment, the Hull family’s persons in charge were shocked when they saw the appearance of Sven! “Second Master, this is?” Everyone was dumbfounded and in disbelief. The dying man on the stretcher was the second master of the Hull subsidiary! A powerful hero! An infamous existence! Now… What in the hell happened? Everyone was flabbergasted! Colin walked up to Sven and looked at the man who was still weak with the breathing mask. He clenched his fists and said with a grim face, “Sven
The call was connected. Everyone held their breath and listened carefully to Colin's conversation with their ears perked. “Brother, there’s something I need to report to you. Someone wants to take action against the Hull family in Orienta, and because of this incident, the Lowell family has broken all cooperation with us. They even annulled the marriage contract with Vinci, and Sven was almost killed by the other party. According to our investigations, the other party's background isn’t small. The Hull subsidiary may not be able to withstand it, so…” Colin said a lot in one breath. However, before he finished talking, a loud roar came from the other end of the line! Yeager was on his knees in the huge office at the moment, and Fennel was still sitting calmly on the sofa in front of him. He only glanced at Fennel furtively before yelling into the phone in a frenzy, “Colin, how dare you call me at this time?! If it weren’t for your son and daughter’s ‘good deeds’, how would y
Colin glanced at everyone before declaring, “Great! Since everyone agrees, the Hull subsidiary will stand together and fight till the end!” “Fight till the end!” “Fight till the end!” Starting from this day, the Hull subsidiary was under martial law and all members of the Hull family outside were urgently transferred back! Although all their businesses were not closed, they maintained a low-key operation. However, anyone could tell that the Hull family was preparing for battle. The outside world was surging with undercurrents. Many big families in Riverton also heard of this incident and deduced from the clues that someone was going to attack the Hull family. “Did you hear? The Lowell family broke all cooperation with the Hull family and even canceled the marriage contract!” At a party for the wealthy, many senior officials were gathered together and discussing in a low voice. “I also heard that since yesterday, the entire Hull family manor has been placed under mar
Just a few minutes ago, more than a dozen companies and families called to announce that they would be breaking off their cooperation with the Hull family! They were kicking them while they were down! If this continued, all the contracts with the Hull family would be terminated! Before the Hull family even started fighting against the other party, they would already be severely damaged. They would have to face bankruptcy and liquidation of assets! Too ruthless! Colin sat on the main chair with a gloomy face, his right hand tightly clasping the armrest before he smacked it in anger! He got up, his eyes looking as cold as ice. His body was full of murderous intent as he said angrily, “Damn that Seamus Lowell! He deliberately spread the news and wants to trample the Hull family under his feet! This must be under the instigation of that old fogey!” Colin was very angry. People would abandon the ship at the first sign of trouble. The Lowell family had declared their stance ver
“Have you heard? Is it the end of the road for the Hull family?” “Alas, who expected the former giant family to suddenly declare bankruptcy today?” “Who’s taking action against the Hull family with such domineering methods?” The entire Riverton, as long as they were a member of the upper class, discussed the Hull family’s affairs wherever they went. At the same time, in the largest hotel suite in Riverton. Philip stood in front of the French windows with his hands in his pockets, looking across the river that overlooked the entire city of Riverton. Sure enough, it was a fertile land with a bustling economy. It was surrounded by high-rise buildings. It had been a day since Philip arrived in Riverton. On this day, he had been taking Theo and the others to stroll around Riverton. Wherever he went, everything belonged to the Hull family. He was making preparations. Was it true that the huge Hull family of Riverton reached this stage entirely on their own? It should
Looking back at Colin’s side, he was entering the inner courtyard and came to Vinci’s bedroom. “Vinci, it’s Dad.” Colin knocked on the door. Soon, the door opened. Vinci's eyes were red, and she had obviously been crying. “Dad, what's going on? What did Seamus say? Are they still going to break the engagement?” Vinci was full of tears, looking very pitiful and aggrieved. Colin shook his head and said, “The Lowell family is going to fight us until the end. The man named Philip Clarke has a solid background. Because of him, the Lowell family has broken off all cooperation with the Hull family. Moreover, the Hull Chamber of Commerce has also been warned by the other party. We’ve decided to divide and rule separately.” Upon hearing this, Vinci's eyes widened in surprise! How could the situation develop into this? How long had it been? “Dad, what’s the situation? The Lowell family and the Hull Chamber of Commerce really want to completely break their cooperation with the
Philip shrugged at Jamie’s words. “It's just a small matter. Whether you accept the challenge or not, it's not a big deal.” Every guild had to safeguard their dignity. They had to accept the challenge or they would be seen as cowards. Philip smiled. No matter what they decided, he had a bold idea. Jamie nodded thoughtfully at Philip’s words. After some deliberation, he said goodbye to Philip. He knew what he should do. Not long after Jamie left, the news that the Celestial Palace accepted the challenge spread. They adopted a tough stance, criticizing the actions of the Hexa Guild. All the major guilds knew what was going on, but they were surprised that the Celestial Palace was brave enough to make everything public, which was no different from exposing the other party’s crimes. The Hexa Guild finally revealed their true colors. The members were ashamed of being part of the Hexa Guild. The members of the Hexa Guild knew about Lincoln's stance and were worried, wondering
Alain would be doomed if Lincoln ignored him. “No way!” Alain panicked, horrified at this development. The whole guild might be at stake if Lincoln was unwilling to help him. “I've decided not to get involved in this case anymore. Deal with the mess you created yourself. Don’t expect my help.” Lincoln was very decisive about ignoring Alain. Hearing that, everyone was in despair. “Grandmaster, don’t do this to me!” Alain knew that he was doomed. He wanted to persuade Lincoln to help him, but it seemed hopeless. Lincoln waved his hand and turned away, unwilling to lay his eyes on Alain again. In his opinion, the biggest mistake was choosing such a person as the guild leader. It did not make sense for a guild to turn out this way. If Dennis had been in charge, everything would have been different. Left in the room, Hogster and Alain looked at each other, at a loss for what to do. They had thought that Lincoln would solve the problem for them, so they just did whatever th
Alain rushed over to Lincoln to boast about his plan. He knew that Lincoln would be proud of him after hearing it. However, Alain got a slap on his face before he could even speak. He stared at Lincoln blankly, wondering what just happened. “Why did you hit me?” Alain felt embarrassed and sorry for himself. After all, Hogster and many other guild members were around. At his age, it was unacceptable to be slapped in public for no reason. The onlookers backed away in fear, avoiding eye contact with Lincoln. The murderous gaze in Lincoln’s eyes was terrifying. “Why did I hit you? Don't you know why?” Lincoln trembled in anger at Alain’s reaction. This guy had no idea what he did wrong. “I saw Philip just now.” Lincoln stared at Alain, trying to read his thoughts. However, Alain was startled and confused. “In that case, you should've seen how scared he was. That’s what he gets for offending our guild!” Alain was excited and smug at the thought of Philip being scared out of hi
Although everyone was confused, they knew that despite his arrogance, Rabbit would not accuse someone for no reason. “I went out for a walk just now, and everyone is talking about the Hexa Guild declaring war on the Celestial Palace and Philip!” Hearing that, Lincoln nearly passed out. Since everyone was talking about it, it had to be true. He never dreamed that something like this would happen right after he left. “Old man, you need to tell us what’s going on. How dare you pretend to be a nice person in front of my boss? You must be tired of living!” Rabbit was very angry at this hypocrite and wanted to yell at him. Lincoln grimaced and shook his head. He had no idea what was going on either. “I'm really sorry. Let me get to the bottom of this. If everything is true, I owe you and the Celestial Palace an explanation!” After learning about the whole incident, Lincoln knew that the Hexa Guild was at fault for everything. He felt embarrassed by this. “Sure, I’ll wait for your
Just when they thought that Rabbit would lose his temper, Rabbit laughed. “I can’t believe that the Hexa Guild is bold enough to mess with us. You gave me good news and for that, I’ll reward you handsomely!” Rabbit said with a smile. He took out a bottle of wine and handed it to the storyteller who gave him the news. It was a very precious item. The storyteller was shocked by Rabbit’s generosity. He ran to the side with the wine and started drinking it. At his level, there was no way he could finish the wine by himself. Overconsumption would lead to self-combustion, resulting in a loss rather than a gain. However, he had to drink some before someone stole it from him. The others looked at him enviously as he drank the wine, regretting not being the first person to tell Rabbit the news. The news had spread long ago, but they did not seize the opportunity and missed the wine. After Rabbit found out more details, he left, knowing full well that everyone was on his side now.
Jamie was surprised by Philip’s easygoing reaction and immediately felt the gap between him and Philip. If Jamie were in Philip’s shoes, he would be worried, but Philip was confident instead. Jamie had a lot to learn from Philip. Jamie had no idea that Philip did not take Dennis seriously at all. Philip had too many capable people under his command. He was not concerned about Dennis at all. In comparison, Dennis could be considered the most useless person under him.… On the other hand, Rabbit arrived at the market. Rabbit was quite famous among the major families by now. As a non-human with a violent temper, he was in the center of attraction wherever he went. Someone tried to kidnap Rabbit once, but not only did he fail, but the person was also beaten badly. To this day, the kidnapper was still bedridden in the hospital. Rabbit’s notorious reputation had spread far and wide, and not just anyone could deal with him. At this time, many storytellers were at the tavern tal
People in seclusion would usually not receive any news from the outside world, so contacting them would be up to luck. Therefore, Lincoln's appearance was good news for the Hexa Guild. Now that the guild was under scrutiny, Lincoln's appearance would save them a lot of trouble. Lincoln stood on the spot, looking at the yard curiously. Philip had modified the yard, so it was full of energy. Any practitioner would feel the difference at once. Jamie and the others had discovered this fact but never asked out of courtesy. Everyone had their own secret. Maybe this was Philip’s secret. Lincoln closed his eyes and felt the abundant energy. He was reluctant to leave this place that contained tens of thousands of times more energy than the place he had chosen for his seclusion. Lincoln felt conflicted. He could practice much faster in this place if the energy level remained the same. Thinking of this, he could hardly contain his excitement to practice on the spot. Seeing Jamie nex
Lincoln had never met a monster beast with intelligence! After taking a closer look at Rabbit, Lincoln had other ideas. Philip was most likely a powerful person with extraordinary strength to have such a powerful monster beast as his pet. Dennis was not a fool. Philip had to be powerful and not a coward for Dennis to willingly follow him. Thinking of this, Lincoln showed Rabbit enough respect. “Mr. Rabbit, I’m looking for Dennis from the Hexa Guild.” The guild members behind him were full of disbelief at his courtesy. They had served him for a while and knew his character very well. Lincoln would never be so polite to ordinary juniors, so this rabbit had to be unusual. Thinking of this, their attitude toward Rabbit changed from disdain to admiration. Rabbit was shocked by their eccentric behavior and looked at them skeptically. Seeing their smiling faces, Rabbit decided not to make things difficult for them. Besides, they were polite. “Oh, you’re looking for Dennis. Come
This guild member could not forget how Hogster had always stolen his resources by force. Hogster’s ugly face made him sick. Although Lincoln was back, he had lost all confidence in the guild. He just wanted to return to Dennis' side as soon as possible. Although he was a member under the guild leader, Dennis was the one who had been helping him all along. In fact, if not for Dennis’ support over the years, even Alain would not have achieved what he had today. Hence, this guild member had always been grateful to Dennis. When Dennis left, he wanted to leave with him, but due to special circumstances, he stayed until now. Unexpectedly, it came in handy. Alain was excited to hear that. In Alain's opinion, such a lowly member would not dare to lie to him, so he had to be telling the truth. He knew that this was his chance to settle everything once and for all. Alain had been worried that Lincoln would blame him, but Lincoln was deceived instead, which was great. He had nothing t
