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
“Old Master, who’s trying to attack the Hull family? The outside world is spreading rumors that the Lowell family is plotting against the Hull family.” Some people still asked in puzzlement. Old Master Lowell got up with his hands on his back. His eyes were gleaming with brilliance as he said to everyone, “Just do what you need to do with ease. Don’t ask questions that shouldn’t be asked. When the matter is over, we can naturally get the results.” Everyone shut their mouths and no longer asked any other questions. At the same time in the hall, a team of heavily armed guards walked in and bent over before respectfully saying, “Old Master, everyone has assembled and is waiting for your orders!” When all the persons in charge of the Lowell family saw a team of heavily armed guards suddenly appearing in the hall, they were all dumbfounded and shocked! These were the few captains of the Lowell family’s guards in Riverton! Old Master Lowell was actually mobilizing them! They
Everyone stared in that direction, watching the door of the Maybach in that convoy open. It was Theo who walked down first. He stood by the car door respectfully, welcoming the protagonist. Just seeing Theo, many people who were observing secretly took a breath! It was Theo Zander! Theo Zander of Riverdale! Such a famous person was standing at the door of the car with a humble attitude, waiting for the main lead to get down from the car. Anyone who knew Theo or heard of Theo's name was stunned. Was Theo the one who wanted to attack the Hull family? Was it the person behind Theo? Just when everyone was speculating, they saw a young man getting down from the Maybach. He was wearing a gray checkered suit and sunglasses with his hair styled in center parting, looking very handsome with a sunny disposition! There was also the vibe of a domineering CEO oozing from him! Was he the mastermind behind the scenes? His face was too unfamiliar. Who could this person be? Ev
The next moment, they appeared in the world where Philip was. Coincidentally, they bumped into the arrogant Claude family. They happened to land at the Claude family’s new residence. The Claude family members were unhappy to see visitors at the door of their new home. “Who are you? Why are you here? You look weird. What are you?” Sadie happened to pass by at this time, and she scowled at the sight of these people. “This is no place for beggars. Go somewhere else to beg for food!” Sadie’s sharp tongue infuriated everyone. “How dare you, woman? Do you know who we are?” Weaver retorted furiously. He never dreamed that a woman would yell at him like this. No one had ever dared to insult him. “So what? Don't forget that we're the Claude family. Do you think you can mess around here?” While Sadie was talking, someone rushed over and looked at her excitedly. “I have news about Philip. Do you want it?” Sadie was excited to hear that. She forgot about the spider people and pulle
Everyone shook their heads upon hearing that. “We want to follow you not only because of your strength but also because you saved us. Our foundation and power are quite shaky at this point. It’s best if we can find a solid backer.” The three unique races handed their tokens to Philip. The three tokens were put together and dazzled brightly. Philip was curious about the tokens, which clearly had nothing to do with the ancestral land. They had the tokens in hand but could not figure out the situation. “Putting the three tokens together is proof that the three races have chosen to pledge our allegiance to you. It can be seen as a contract,” Fitz said excitedly. It was the first time they used this function. Philip was surprised to sense their allegiance when they activated the tokens. “In that case, you may come with me.” He took everyone into his Verge Tower space and left this place with them. He knew that he had picked up a huge bargain. All of them were not weak and cons
“Philip, I sense a seal in that man's body. I think that seal is preventing him from leaving this place. The seal is totally trapping him. If no one can help him to unlock that seal, he can forget about leaving this place.” Philip was surprised that Puffy managed to discover the problem in Fitz’s body. Before this, Puffy was still getting used to their language, so he could not communicate with Philip effectively. Now that he was more proficient, he could manage some basic communication with Philip and convey some important information. “This is not only affecting him but also everyone else. Everyone has a seal that binds them here. If they want to leave this place, they have to remove that constraint!” While Philip interacted with Puffy, the others looked at them anxiously. From their point of view, Philip fell silent after that strange remark. It confused them very much. “What are you trying to say?” Fitz said excitedly. He could not wait to hear what Philip had to say. H
The Claude family members went on a rampage and seized the square, building their house right in the middle of the city. Their house had been destroyed and needed to be rebuilt. They could do whatever they wanted with their strength now. The city guards tried to speak to them but were driven out by the Claude family. Several batches of city guards had been deployed, but no one could deal with them. The Claude family members were like gods of war. Whether men, women, young, or old, they could knock their opponents down easily. The most arrogant person among them was a woman named Sadie. She was so powerful that it felt as if she was above everything. Some people had heard of her name and knew that she used to be an ordinary person in the family. All of a sudden, she became the pillar of the Claude family. “If anyone knows Philip's whereabouts, tell us at once. Once we find Philip, we’ll definitely reward you handsomely!” Sadie said arrogantly to the crowd. She was very calm and
Without reason on their side, the spider people could not do anything. Now that everyone supported Philip, they would not give in to the spider people so easily. “Well, since your plan is that good, I think you should sacrifice one of your own people, at least to appease the magpie people." “I say Philip is right. Those guys are just putting on an act. They’ll never kill one of their own. Don’t be fooled by those hypocrites!” “We don’t want to work with the spider people!” All the races expressed their opinions. No one wanted anything to do with the spider people at all. They had gone too far. It would spell trouble to get involved with them. “Hehe, good riddance to bad rubbish. The spider people have always been up to no good. You get what you deserve!” Rabbit hopped excitedly, happy that the spider people had become the target of public outrage. “I believe the magpie people won't mind. We did it on the spur of the moment, so I think we should be forgiven. After all, t
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
