“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
Seeing this, Colin shouted in a deep voice, “Even so, don’t worry. No one can crush the Hull family! Now that this matter has progressed this far, everyone can only fight with their lives. Even if the Hull family plummets because of this, as long as the Hull family survives and the Hull family members are still alive, we will have a comeback!” This sentence struck a chord in everyone’s heart like a deafening bell! When all the persons in charge of the Hull family heard these words, there was a soaring pride in their chests! Yes. As long as the Hull family members were still alive, there would be a chance for a comeback! “Yes! The Hull family will survive!” “We vow to live and die with the Hull family. No one can defeat the Hull family!” “Who cares about Young Master Clarke? If he dares to show up, I’ll be the first to kill him!” For a while, the heads of the Hull family were agitated and had become angry! It seemed that as long as Philip dared to show his face, they w
The rain poured fiercely! Thunder blasted while lightning meandered densely, the momentum terrifying! The entire courtyard of the Hull family’s mansion was as quiet as a graveyard, forming an atmosphere of solemnity! The main lead had appeared! Colin followed the voice, his face looking gloomy as the flames of anger throbbed in his pupils. Standing before him, a few yards away in the rain, was an extremely young man. He was standing under the umbrella with his hands in his trouser pockets, seeming calm and indifferent. However, the dormant kingly aura exuding from him could not escape anyone’s senses. What a strong intensity! Like a sword that soared above, it seemed to split the dim sky and the rain that connected heaven and earth! The two sides stood in opposition. During the face-off, Colin saw the opponent’s eyes that were like brilliant lights in the dark, filled with potency and deterrence! How dare they barge into the Hull family’s mansion?! Too bold! W
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
