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
Back to Philip. He was faintly looking at the lone wolf in front of him, Colin Hull. “Is it worth it?” Colin smiled coldly and said, “If you’re a parent, you’ll understand that even if I have to die, I’ll still protect my children.” Philip frowned and said earnestly, “I do agree with you because I have a daughter. For her, I’m also willing to fight against the whole world. However, this doesn’t mean that I sympathize with you. If you’re wrong, you have to admit it. Today, I can let the rest of the Hull family go, but you must hand over Flint and Vinci. This is my final offer.” Haha! Colin looked up to the sky and laughed before saying, “Do I have to thank you for your kindness?” After that, murderous intent appeared in Colin’s expression! He gritted his teeth and said, “Philip Clarke, I already know your identity. I never thought that you’re from the Clarke family of Arcadia Island. How amazing. To be honest, even if the Hull family is ten times bigger, we still won’t be a
Vinci Hull? She brought people with her! When Colin Hull, who was on the ground, heard these words, he suddenly turned over with a face full of disbelief! Why did Vinci turn up at this time? He had clearly arranged someone to send her and Flint out of Riverton! “Vinci, no, don’t!” Colin tried to get up from the ground with difficulty as he shouted. However, the two combatants took him down directly! Philip turned around, staring at Colin with a pair of cold eyes as he said, “After all the scheming, you didn’t expect that your daughter would be unwilling to concede, right?” Colin looked at Philip with his eyes widened, his face full of fear and horror. Thump! He fell to his knees and bowed to Philip, begging for mercy, “Young Master Clarke, I beg of you, please let my daughter go. I admit defeat. I surrender. I’ll bear all the consequences alone!” Colin was really scared at this moment! What he loved most was his pair of children. He would rather give up the
Dead silence! Everyone was struck dumb! Philip stood there emotionlessly while staring at Vinci who was standing not far away with her hot figure and cold temperament. He smiled slightly and said, “We finally meet.” Vinci frowned, pointed at Philip, and shouted, “I don’t want to talk nonsense with you. Where’s my dad?” Philip shrugged. The two guards behind him escorted Colin out and tossed him in the rain. At this moment, Colin Hull, who was covered in blood, looked at Vinci on the opposite side. He shouted, “Vinci, go back! Go away! You can’t fight him! Don’t do anything stupid! Go!” At the sight of her father, Vinci was full of grief. She shouted, “Dad, don’t worry. I'm no longer the Vinci Hull who needs your protection. Today, I want Philip Clarke to know the consequences of provoking the Hull family!” While saying that, Vinci’s face was full of chills. She stared at the calm Philip and shouted, “Let my dad go and you can keep your life!” Keep his life? Upon hea
Hearing Vinci's threatening words, Philip frowned as his eyes flashed with a chill. Threatening him with his wife and child? Very courageous! “Philip, you made great plans transferring everyone to Riverton just to deal with the Hull family. But you’ve forgotten that your base camp is currently empty. And my people, as early as more than an hour ago, have rushed to Riverdale. Presumably, they have found your wife and child by now.” Vinci smiled sinisterly. It was rare for a woman to be so cruel and vicious. Philip put his hands in his trouser pockets, his face looking indifferent. The corners of his eyes were faintly glowing. He looked at the confident Vinci and said, “Do you really think that Riverdale is empty?” His voice fell. The audience went silent. Vinci twisted her willowy eyebrows, not understanding what Philip meant. Was this the last struggle? “Hehe, Philip Clarke, stop trying to scare me. Whatever the situation, my people will give me an update soon,” V
“You never considered the consequences when you tried to take advantage of us. We brought them here, and they have the right to choose. Don't think about taking advantage.” Philip nodded at Fitz’s attitude. Sure enough, he liked this earnest man and was happy with his point of view. “If you want something, you need to pay a price for it. As I mentioned, I’m a businessman, so I prefer fair trade. I’m more than happy if you want to discuss a deal with me.” In fact, they had reached an agreement before the spider people arrived. Philip would not help the other three races for free, but he was not bad enough to charge them fees either. However, the spider people were different. Not to mention that Philip had a bad impression of them, but Rabbit’s grudge also remained unavenged. The spider people scowled at Philip’s disrespect, which was simply outrageous. The other races laughed gloatingly. The spider people had always been arrogant and domineering, preventing their developme
“I'm afraid that the snake people will strike a deal with him and monopolize everything.” The old man anxiously led everyone in the direction of the snake people. They could not miss the chance to share a piece of the pie. However, he did not intend to tell his people about it. The other two races no longer existed in the outside world, so it did not matter if they could not leave. It would be best to let their legends fade away in history. That idea was very selfish. Just when he thought he could grab all the benefits by stealth, the snake people shared the information without keeping it a secret. However, the snake people only shared the news with the other two races. They did not have a good impression of the spider people and even had the idea of leaving them behind. When the spider people hurried over, they found a crowd. They saw not only the young ones of the snake people but also those from the other two races. The other two races were the turtles and magpies. Just li
The old man felt annoyed when he saw the two women not getting along. He knew that the holy maidens of the family would face a lot of struggles. Ambitious women would try every means to cause trouble just to destroy the status of the holy maidens. By doing so, they could find ways to replace them. It was an underhanded method but effective. After all, not everyone could cope with the distinguished status of the holy maiden. One mistake could be fatal. Therefore, a holy maiden had to be prideful and flawless, just like an untainted and pure white lotus. The old man nodded thoughtfully. He did not think that Arachne looked like the holy maiden, and his suspicions were confirmed. She was not the holy maiden at all. Actions spoke louder than words. Arachne did not carry a regal bearing, so she would not act like a queen even if she wore a crown. At first, the old man wondered why the spider family would choose someone so unbefitting for the role of the holy maiden. Now that
At this point, an old man walked over. Although they usually maintained their true form, they sometimes took on a human form. Unlike the snake people who did not look very different between the two forms, the spider people looked outrageous in their true forms. “Are you one of the younger generation from outside?” The old man was curious to see the younger children's arrival at this place today. As someone who could not wait to make an impression, Arachne rushed forward and began to introduce herself. In short, Arachne was gradually taking over Ariadna’s position. Although the others were annoyed, they did not say anything because Arachne was really putting in some effort. There was no point in arguing about such things. The most important thing was to remove their curse. The old man was very excited and could not wait to welcome them. “This is wonderful. It has been thousands of years since we saw an outsider!” His eyes gleamed with excitement. “Tell me how you got in,” he
“Now that the spider people have found new blood, I’m afraid that things will worsen.” At this point, Fitz sighed helplessly. Rabbit jumped out at this time. He hated the spider people. Hearing their shameless behavior, Rabbit was agitated. “Sure enough, those spiders are up to no good. Philip, why don’t we just get rid of them? Take it as revenge for me!” Rabbit waved his paw and looked at Philip excitedly. He knew that only Philip could help him. The spiders might not be strong, but they had strength in numbers. They were not people to be trifled with. While Philip and the others were chatting, Ariadna and her people found the spider people. Arachne was very excited and smug, waiting to take all the credit. “As I said, we can find something we've been looking for if we enter this place! Sure enough, following Philip can help us overcome all difficulties and find our ancestral land and predecessors. So what if they're trapped here? They must have many more treasures and secr
They could also see some toddlers, which proved that the predecessors were living quite a good life. “We thought you had ascended to another place. Is this the place you ended up? It doesn’t look like the paradise described in the books!” Selma blinked innocently, wondering why this place looked like this. This place was not rich in energy, and there was nothing special about it, so it was not attractive at all. “We didn’t ascend but have been trapped in this place over the years with no way to leave.” Fitz did not want to deceive them and simply told them the facts. Now that they had entered, the newcomers had no way of leaving either. “Didn’t you notice? The passage that led you in has been sealed. There’s no way to leave now.” Selma turned her head curiously and looked at the exit. Philip followed suit and found that it was indeed the case. The exit was blocked by a huge stone. No one knew when the stone appeared. It felt like it appeared out of thin air. Philip's ex
When Philip’s eyes adjusted to the light, he saw a gurgling stream in front of him. There was a small village beside the stream and many more villages along the stream. Philip counted four in total. The villagers who lived along the stream observed Philip as he looked at them. “Outsiders?” A man standing in the front stared at Philip in surprised disbelief. Philip noticed that he had a snake tail. Hearing the man's words, everyone ran out. Without exception, they all had a snake tail. It was clear that they belonged to the same race as Selma. Selma covered her mouth in shock at this scene. It was true. Their predecessors were staying there. The man mellowed down after seeing Selma. He felt a familiar vibe on her. It seemed that they shared the same bloodline. Philip nudged Selma, who quickly understood his meaning and showed her true form. Cavin followed her cue. Seeing this scene, the man laughed and applauded. The spider people arrived at this time. They were surpri
Philip finally realized that Ariadna was not wealthy enough to do business with him. “This emerald pendant is very valuable! Don’t look down on it just because you’re strong!” Ariadna grumbled under her breath but had no choice but to accept it. After all, Philip had the final say about its value. Maybe her treasure was worthless to Philip because he was too strong for it. After taking the emerald pendant, Philip told Ariadna what he knew per their agreement, which was the secret about people living in the ancestral land. As expected, Ariadna was shocked by the news too. “Are you serious? This is too far-fetched. Are you saying that our predecessors have been trapped here and haven't left for another place?” Her outburst gave Philip a different idea. When he spoke to Selma earlier, he subconsciously believed that these so-called predecessors had ascended. It was strange that they reached a very odd place of ascension. After hearing Ariadna’s remark, however, it seemed mor
No one knew if their predecessors would treat them as their own. Although they had the same bloodline, they had not seen each other for such a long time. Besides, they sneaked into the ancestral land without permission. Maybe they would be killed before they stepped inside. Philip’s information was very useful, indeed. Selma quickly returned to her family members in a panic and discussed with them. With only a few of them, the discussion was very brief before they reached a decision. Cavin grimaced at this unexpected development, and he was more in awe of Philip. He was shocked by Philip’s strength. If Philip could sense that, his observation skill was nothing in front of Philip! Cavin felt helpless about it. It felt a little embarrassing to have shown off his skill in front of Philip now. “Selma, what should we do now? We have to consider the stalkers behind us. They won’t give up that easily. We may be in trouble if we don't find a way to get rid of them.” Cavin glanced at th
