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
At this time. Colin entered the room, nodded slightly to everyone, then sat down to wait quietly. After a while, there was no sound in the room. Suddenly, someone said, “Colin Hull, are you unable to withstand the pressure and here to ask the lord for help?” “Hehe, a little Philip Clarke has actually made the Hull family so miserable. It really hurts the reputation of the eleven members of the Gentleman Court.” Following that, someone else mocked. Colin sat in the lowest position. He was the last of the eleven to join and his foundation was unstable. Compared to the other ten members, he was still far behind. Colin could only laugh drily. On this occasion, he really could not spout nonsense. Not long after... A woman with a graceful figure walked in while strutting. She was wearing a sexy dress and entered from the side door. Rachel Clarke. Her red lips slightly parted as she said to Colin Hull, “Come with me.” Colin got up hurriedly and respectfully followed th
The Lowell family’s manor. In the hall of the manor at this moment, all the people in charge of the Lowell family gathered. They were talking incessantly. On this day, Old Master Lowell had suddenly summoned all of the Lowell family members to the manor for a meeting. This was the first time in the past few years. In recent days, news about the Hull family and Lowell family had caused major upheaval in the outside world. All the persons in charge of the Lowell family had been very careful these two days and kept silent about these things. After all, it was an order from Old Master Lowell himself. Today, however, the old man had suddenly summoned everyone. Presumably, the matter must have come to fruition. “What do you think? Are we going to war with the Hull family?” “I don't know. The old master summoned us so suddenly. I'm afraid things are not that easy.” “Stop guessing. You’ll know everything when the old master comes out.” Many people were chatting in the hal
Fitz felt particularly bad at the thought that he failed to protect his people. He vowed to take revenge. People of other races shared the same thoughts. Everyone thought that their people had gone out to seek ways to leave but were met with an accident. Unexpectedly, they were harmed by the spider people, which was simply despicable and unacceptable. “You just need to sacrifice one more person for everyone to leave this dangerous place and lift the curse from us,” Weaver said. Everyone's eyes turned bloodshot at his words, shocked that Weaver would say that so openly. “Hehe, you’re really bold to perform a sacrifice. Why not use one of your own?” Fitz laughed and stared at Weaver. Weaver scowled. Of course, the idea crossed his mind, but the records stated that they had to use other races for sacrifice. Using their own people as sacrifice would void it, so they had to use others. This would not only reduce the other party’s manpower but also save a lot of effort. However,
Philip wanted to figure out what the spider people were up to. It looked like they had been planning this for a long time, which was terrifying. He had to let the others know about this. Everyone had the right to know. Moreover, the pitiful magpie woman was scared out of her wits. Philip had to bring her home. “Let's go back now. We’ll explore this place later. Do you want to stay here or go out with us?” Philip looked at Celeste curiously. He did not think she was brave enough to venture out. Sure enough, Celeste tugged at the corner of her clothes as she pondered. “I'll go out with you!” Celeste finally decided after much deliberation. Since she had decided to follow Philip, there was no point in hiding here anymore. She had to pluck up the courage. Celeste had lived in the forest for very long and had never gone out before, so she was curious about the outside world. “I want to see the outside world!” Celeste said nervously. Philip simply nodded without a word. The
At this point, Philip sprang into action. He appeared in front of the other party, catching them off guard. “Who allowed you to kill people for no reason?” The spider people were shocked by Philip’s sudden appearance. They were frightened to see someone there, and he was none other than the human who had strayed into this place by accident. The spiders panicked and wanted to run, but Philip quickly released Puffy. The spider people could not escape because of the curse placed on them and also because of Puffy's existence. The passage only allowed entry, not exit. When anyone stepped into that passage, they would not only come under Puffy’s attack but also suffer a gut-wrenching pain. They felt something was wrong when they tried to escape. Someone noticed Puffy approaching them and yelled in fear, “It’s that deadly thing!” Someone recognized Puffy and ran away screaming. They had no chance of winning against Puffy, so they had no choice but to run. Seeing someone running aw
Philip could tell that Celeste wanted to help, but she was too weak to do anything. “Don’t worry so much. Let’s wait and see what happens. If possible, we won’t stand by and do nothing. These people are simply outrageous.” Philip did not have a good impression of the spider people, and this incident made it worse. “Not bad!” Rabbit hopped onto Celeste’s shoulder excitedly. Ever since he found out that Celeste had no ability, he liked her even more. He liked people who had no combat power. Except for that extra eye, there was nothing strange about her. Besides, she was quite a beautiful woman, so Rabbit was fond of her. “Philip will take care of it. Don’t worry about it. He’s an outstanding man who fights for justice. You’ll have a good life if you follow Philip, especially since you have that ability but are powerless to take care of yourself. I’m sure you need someone to protect you,” Rabbit chattered away. Rabbit knew how special Celeste’s ability was. She would be of gr
Celeste seemed simple and kind, and after she told Philip everything she knew, Philip and Rabbit gradually changed their minds about her for the better. “We actually learned such a big secret this time. What a surprise!” Philip exclaimed. He followed Celeste to the altar, which was very far away. Before they reached the altar, they smelled a strong stench of blood. Philip frowned at this unexpected development. Rabbit covered his nose in surprise at the strong stench of blood. “Wait, I don’t think it’s human blood.” Philip sensed that the blood came from the few pitiful races. “I can smell it. Except for the spider people, I smell the blood of other races!” At this moment, a soft sound came from the side. Celeste quickly pulled Philip and Rabbit to hide in the corner. Celeste had lost the ability to be invisible, so she could only take Philip to hide in a panic. She knew that they could not expose themselves. “Someone is coming. Stay here and don’t do anything. You’ll f
“No one ever comes to my place. You must be outsiders.” Celeste was curious, wondering who Philip was. Celeste knew about the four unique races, but Philip’s appearance and form did not fit any of them. “You’re right. I’m an outsider. I wanted to know something, so I came to the forest. It’s best if you can give me an answer. I don’t intend to harm anyone. If you can answer my questions, I’ll leave and remove the curse on you as well,” Philip persuaded her. He felt that the woman was quite sincere, different from what he imagined. In that case, there was no need to make things difficult for her. Besides, he did not feel a murderous vibe in her, so she had probably never done anything bad. Philip had no reason to make things difficult for someone who liked to hide and sing. “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I know, but I don’t really know much. I usually stay in my own territory and have no contact with the outside world. Even the other races don't know of my existence.” Rabbit
Philip felt that there was no problem with his hearing. Someone was humming a song, and the tune sounded very strange and spooky in the dark forest. Rabbit frowned and nodded. He also heard the strange sound and was scared. “Who has nothing better to do but to sing here?” Rabbit nervously grabbed the corner of Philip's clothes, afraid that Philip would leave him behind. Philip shook his head. According to the others, no one would come here for no reason. Due to various dangers in the forest, they would only wander around the edge without seeking trouble in the depths. In that case, the abrupt singing voice was very strange, indeed. “Philip, don't be nervous. Stay calm.” Rabbit's voice was trembling. Although Rabbit kept telling Philip to stay calm, he was already freaking out, so scared that he nearly wanted to run away. Philip knew Rabbit’s character, so he did not comment. He simply observed the surroundings and listened carefully to the sound, which was so ethereal tha
Philip took Puffy along and quickly arrived in a forest where the other races usually hunted, so they should not face any danger here. As soon as Philip left, a woman appeared in the corner and looked in the direction where Philip left with a conflicted look on her face. “Should I follow him?” Ariadna had been left behind in the snake people’s village. She had no friends, and no one paid her any attention. Sometimes, they even displayed their ridicule and disdain for her. She did not get good treatment even though she was a junior from the outside world. In desperation, Ariadna decided to follow Philip. Unexpectedly, she saw Philip with a cute kid the next second. Ariadna was surprised to see that Philip had such a big and cute child. “Wait, that kid looks a little weird.” Due to the distance, Ariadna could not see what the kid looked like, but his color and body shape seemed different from that of normal people. After much deliberation, Ariadna decided to tag along, co
“I’ll look around and find out what’s going on. Don’t worry about me. Look for Ronan if anything crops up.” Philip decided to leave Ronan in charge. Ronan did not object. He knew that Philip wanted to train him. He rarely interacted with others, so he had poor social skills. He had improved with Philip’s help, but his skills were still nothing compared to Philip’s subordinates. He was deeply moved by the opportunity that Philip had given him. “Sure enough, heroes will emerge from the youth. You two will have a bright future!” Wren said excitedly. Philip did not comment. After a few pleasantries, he wandered around with Rabbit. Selma and her people had no time for Philip. They finally found their predecessors, so they had many questions to solve. Philip was most interested in getting to the bottom of this mysterious place. It felt more like a cage designed to trap them. It was devoid of rich energy and other resources suitable for them. What was the purpose of the person b
