“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
Philip smiled serenely. He had already expected this outcome as he said, “Colin Hull, are you putting the entire Hull family at stake? What if I tell you that between the Hull siblings and the Hull family, you can only choose one? Who will you choose?” The entire hall quietened at his words. Colin clenched his fists as his mind went into a frenzy. He knew Philip's identity and naturally knew Philip’s power and methods. However, the others did not. Now, Philip’s options were making Colin stuck between a rock and a hard place! At this moment, the other persons in charge of the Hull family looked at each other before looking at Philip and asking, “What you mean to say is, as long as Flint and Vinci come out and apologize to you, the Hull family will be safe?” Philip did not answer. The others were in confusion. It turned out to be so simple. Thus, they looked at Colin and said, “Patriarch, it’s just an apology. You need to think about it. Let Flint and Vinci step forwa
As Philip’s voice fell! Among the black-suited bodyguards behind him, one took out a signal flare and blasted it to the sky. Swoosh! The howling golden flare, like a soaring giant dragon, roared as it shot into the sky! Passing through the curtain of pouring rain, the swaying golden light exploded at a high altitude! Bang! The flare blasted apart, forming a big golden letter ‘P’ in the sky! Very shocking! Extremely exaggerated! That huge golden letter gave people an infinite sense of oppression! It was like a giant in the sky looking down on the mortal earth! At this moment, anyone in Riverton would see this sight if they looked up into the sky! Very spectacular! People who were not in the loop thought it was a firework display. Around the Hull family’s mansion, those people waiting around and paying close attention to the situation inside the mansion were all shocked when they saw the flare rising into the sky! Especially seeing the golden character appea
In an instant, teams of special bodyguards in black combat uniforms rushed out from behind Philip. They stood or squatted with all their guns aimed at the members of the Hull family in the inner hall while guarding Philip and his people behind them! “Team One, assembly complete!” “Team Two, assembly complete!” … “Team Six, assembly complete!” For a while, the cold words of these people resounded throughout the inner courtyard. The Hull disciples who had rushed in before were all suppressed on the ground at this moment, unable to resist at all! Colin’s face was cold and furious. Abruptly, he pulled out the Desert Eagle from his back! He needed to fight. If he did not resist, it would be over for the entire Hull family! However... One of the bodyguards directly launched a kick on Colin’s chest! Bam! Thud! Like a kite with a broken string, Colin flew upside down and fell heavily on the chair behind him! This kick broke at least three or four of his ribs! It t
Swish! Philip turned around, his eyes condensing as he stared at the remote control in Colin’s hand! This old guy actually wanted to perish together! At this scene, all the persons in charge of the Hull family in the surroundings shook with fright! Colin had already planned for the worst! He was going to bury the entire Hull family! “Patriarch, don’t do this!” “Just hand over Flint and Vinci for the sake of the Hull family! We must think of the old and the young!” “Colin Hull, you’re too selfish! To save your children, you’re actually putting the entire Hull family at stake!” For a while, everyone begged or cursed! “Colin Hull, we won’t continue this debacle with you any longer! I propose to abolish your position as the head of the Hull family!” “That's right! You’re betting on the lives of dozens of people in the Hull family! Flint is nothing but a slacker. Since he made a mistake, he must step forward and take responsibility!” “Colin Hull, quickly hand over Fl
“So, you can forget about recruiting Philip. He’s someone I value highly. It’ll be great if he can help us through this crisis. But he’s a man with his own agenda, so he probably won’t give in to us so easily. Anyway, our priority is to gain Philip's trust and trick him into joining us. I believe that won’t be too difficult for our people.” At this point, Brett pointed to the depths of the room to emphasize his meaning. Heath saw this and nodded in silent approval. “I’ll leave it to you. Just handle it properly and make no mistakes. We need to get it done before the demons arrive.” After saying that, Heath rushed back to his room for some reason. Brett received the patriarch's order and went to a woman’s bedroom door. He tore off a seal and opened the door. “Dear sister, congratulations on regaining your freedom. It’s time for you to contribute to the family. You’ll be free once you get it done.” Brett spoke in a condescending tone as if the person in front of him was not
“I've always heard that the Spade family is very powerful, and I can see now that it’s well-deserved. I always thought that the Spade family was on par with the Swift family, but now, it seems that they can't hold a candle to you!” Philip praised the Spade family generously. The two members of the Spade family looked very excited and surprised by Philip’s eloquence. They welcomed people who praised their family. “That’s very nice of you. Are you here to speak to us about cooperation?” Heath knew that Philip wanted to work with them, so he moved to the topic. “Yes, my stand is very clear. I’m going to deal with the Swift family, so I want to confirm some details with you. If there’s no problem, I’ll take action.” They quickly started the discussion. Philip came fully prepared and displayed his concern over this matter. They had a better understanding of each other after the chat. Heath approved of Philip and found that he was a rare talent just as he had imagined. “Since tha
After Philip rescued Liram, Brett was still looking for Liram everywhere. After taking care of things, Philip met up with Loony and returned to the reception room as if nothing had happened, acting calm and composed. Loony glanced at Philip and hesitated to speak. He knew that this was no time to speak. “I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. Please have some tea. This is the best tea we have.” A maid walked in and poured some tea for Philip. It seemed that she did not notice that Philip and Loony had left earlier. Philip nodded with satisfaction at her reaction. This maid would be their best witness. Brett never dreamed that he would lose Liram. He walked around the garden in annoyance, trying to find a trace of Liram. He had to take care of this no matter what. No one knew whether the intruders earlier were friend or foe. If the secret of the Spade family was exposed because of it, the reputation they built over the years would be ruined. At this time, he bumped into the
“Liram, I told you not to trust anyone easily, but you didn’t listen to me. In that case, I have to prove my words to you. You weren't wrong to make friends with me, but your problem is knowing too much. How can an outsider know the secrets of our family?” Brett said vehemently. Brett was sincere about making friends with Liram, but he discovered the secrets of his family by accident. The Spade family had always been very prestigious, so no one was allowed to find out such dark secrets about them. “My family has a good reputation in the outside world. It would've been bad if you exposed everything. As the heir of the family, I have to protect our reputation,” Brett said calmly. He did not think it was a pity to kill his friend. “You should feel lucky that you can make some contributions to my family while you can.” Philip roughly understood the situation. Brett had brought his friend here to kill him. What a jerk. At this time, Philip approached Liram and whispered in his e
Brett had used a secret technique to skin the victim alive previously. The man trembled at the thought and was caught in a dilemma. “I don’t know! I didn’t see anything!” He struggled while the other prisoners looked at him with conflicted emotions. It was time to make human puppets, and Brett would use them for experiments. They would probably be the next victims. Thinking of this, everyone looked at each other, and their previous confidence vanished into thin air. “If I tell you, will you let me go?” A bizarre cynocephaly with a dog’s head and human body spoke up. Brett laughed and said, “I knew something was wrong. Since you refuse to speak, I’ll let others tell the truth. I want to see what’s going on.” Brett grabbed the cynocephaly out. The other party prostrated on the floor, looking weak and powerless. “Promise me that you’ll let me go once I tell you everything!” Brett nodded at his pious look. “No problem.” The cynocephaly was excited at Brett’s promise
The other party simply looked at Loony indifferently without responding. Suddenly, Philip’s ear wiggled. He heard something. “Eat this. Someone's coming.” Philip stuffed a pill into Loony's mouth and pulled him into a corner to hide. He heard someone coming from the depths of the cellar. The man who spoke to them heard the movement and shut his mouth. The other prisoners remained silent as well. At this time, a familiar person appeared in front of Philip. It was none other than Brett. This Brett was different from the Brett Philip knew. This one looked sinister and cunning. Philip recalled the Brett he met yesterday. He was elegant and seemed like a trustworthy man at a glance. He was shocked to see this difference in just one day. “I’m ready to create my second human puppet. Does anyone want to volunteer your body?” Brett said with a vicious smile. In everyone’s eyes, he looked no different from the devil. “I have a special preference for humans. In that case, I’ll
“That must be it. Let’s take a look.” Philip pointed to the entrance of the cellar, and Loony shook his head in fear. “I have some knowledge of geomancy, and my gut is telling me that we should avoid that place. We may easily lose our lives there.” The cellar entrance looked very scary, so he refused to step inside. Philip could not be bothered. They were very close to finding the truth. They might miss the opportunity forever if they gave up right now. Hence, Philip dragged Loony into the cellar. Before Loony knew what was going on, he felt his vision go black, and he appeared in the cellar in the next second. He shook his head at Philip’s manhandling, shocked that Philip refused to listen to him. “It’ll be a disaster if we rush in recklessly.” Loony glanced at Philip helplessly. Although disappointed about Philip's distrust in him, it was useless to say anymore now that they were in the cellar. They should figure out how to leave. “With the gusts of cold wind, this
“Let’s go right now. I can’t wait to figure out the situation.” Loony forgot all about breakfast and pulled Philip out of the room. He shuddered when he walked past Hercules. He was afraid of this puppet from the bottom of his heart. Philip simply moved along without a word. He was afraid that Loony would let the cat out of the bag. Philip felt that Loony had exposed them because of his fear. “Philip, where are you going? Can you take me with you?” Aslan said in fear. He trembled all over at the thought of Hercules’ spooky gaze. He just wanted to follow Philip and leave this scary place. “Just stay here for now. If anything happens later, I'll inform you to take care of it.” It was the best time to leave them alone together. Philip would never take Aslan with him. Aslan was in despair to hear that he had to stay behind. As Philip marched away, Aslan gritted his teeth and went into Lyle's room as if he wanted to chat with him, but he was actually seeking refuge. Herc
Aslan felt that he was going nuts. He never thought he would meet someone so scary. That guy was torturing him mentally. “Your eyebags are really heavy,” Philip suddenly commented. Aslan was certainly scared out of his wits. Something was definitely up with that human puppet, but Philip did not intend to tell Aslan the truth yet. “I’ve decided not to sleep. Let’s see what that guy is up to!” Practitioners could go without sleeping for a long time but as humans, they had the habit of resting at fixed times. Philip shook his head at Aslan’s reaction. He could tell that Aslan would suffer immensely, but he had to sacrifice this poor guy to get to the bottom of this. “I’m off.” Aslan tossed the quilt to one side and walked out. The moment he opened the door, Philip heard him gasp. He looked out of the door curiously and saw Hercules standing outside, staring at Aslan oddly. “Dude, what’s your problem? Will you die if you don't peek at others?” Aslan said in annoyance. He
