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
The three killers, covered with the pungent smell of blood, stood in front of Wynn. One of them sneered while holding a bloody dagger in his hand. He then took out his mobile phone, ready to record the video. “Cooperate with us and it’ll be less painful for you.” Wynn held Mila, who was already shaking with fright, tightly in her arms. She asked with her eyes full of horror, “Who are you? What do you want?” Among them, the bald guy sneered and snatched Mila away from Wynn's arms. He smiled cruelly. “Just doing what we’re paid to do.” The three people recorded Wynn and Mila on video. Then, they quickly sent the video out. After doing that, the three of them looked at each other, then looked at Wynn and Mila menacingly. They raised the dagger in their hands and said, “You should be on your way!” With raised hands, the daggers fell! At the last moment, Wynn was very desperate as she held on to Mila and cried out, “Philip, where are you?” Then, she watched helplessly as the
Philip took the mobile phone given by Vinci and glanced at the contents of the video. The corners of his eyes went cold, his whole body full of anger! However, this anger was suppressed soon enough. By his side, Theo also glanced at it and his face collapsed! He pointed from a distance and roared at Vinci. “Vinci Hull, you’re so despicable! It’s disgraceful to threaten others using their family members as hostages! For the Hull family to resort to this, the entire Riverton will be ashamed of you! I’m warning you, quickly let Mrs. Clarke and Miss Clarke go. Otherwise, I’ll bring some people to wipe out the entire Hull family!” Theo blew his top! Even if Philip had anticipated it in advance and instructed him to send extra manpower to strictly guard the villa, they still messed up. The opponent had obviously dispatched an expert. Dozens of bodyguards in the villa were wiped out? Theo panicked, turned his head, and glanced at Philip. He discovered that Philip's facial ex
Vinci was angry, furious even! She raised her head and twisted her eyebrows as her body radiated with chills. She pointed at Philip in the distance and shouted, “Even so, you still can't escape today! Take a closer look. This place is surrounded by the Hull family’s disciples and special combat bodyguards. Do you think the people you brought are enough?!” Vinci had lost all patience. She clenched her fists tightly, staring at Philip with a fierce glare before roaring. “All disciples of the Hull family listen up! Take all of them down! Kill without mercy!” Instantly! All the Hull disciples, dressed in black martial arts uniforms with red sashes tied around their waists, rushed directly toward Philip’s side! In front of Philip, all the combat personnel assembled and formed a solid wall. They were ready for battle! In an instant, the two forces confronted each other! Far behind inside a black Rolls-Royce. An old man was sitting beside Rachel Clarke, and she faintly glanc
Tim put his arms around Philip's shoulders, his eyes full of affection. He said, “Good boy, you’ve grown a lot again. Weren’t you going to notify me before destroying the Hull family?” Philip raised his brows and asked in confusion, “Uncle Tim, do you know the Hull family?” Tim smiled faintly, turned his head, and glanced at Colin who had fallen in the rain. He walked toward him. “Colin Hull, do you admit your mistakes?” Tim reprimanded. Colin was slumped in the rain at the moment. After seeing the approaching person, his whole body trembled with fear. He knelt for the first time, knocked his head on the ground, and said loudly, “Master Tim, I know my mistakes! I’m willing to bear all consequences!” The moment he saw this person, Colin knew that he had completely lost! A thorough defeat! He also lost all will to resist! It was because no matter how much he resisted, only death awaited him! Tim Clarke, Master Tim, was the founder of Hull Chamber of Commerce! He was
Looking at this scene, Tim almost could not bear it. He closed his eyes slightly and then took out a small token. He held it high to all the Hull family members and shouted, “Seeing this token, aren’t you going to kneel?!” Rumble! A flash of lightning illuminated the sky! All members of the Hull family looked up at this moment and saw the golden token in Tim's hand. It had the golden character ‘T’ engraved on the front! All members of the Hull family had received strict education about this token since the first day they entered the Hull family! They had been taught to kneel at the sight of this token! Thud! In front of the entire mansion’s courtyard, countless Hull disciples wearing black martial arts uniforms with red sashes around their waists fell to their knees! The scene was spectacular! The onlookers, the wealthy nobles of Riverton, were dumbfounded at this moment! Shocking! This was amazing! All the Hull disciples were kneeling on the ground in surrender
The International Chamber of Commerce on the high seas of Riverton was held once every three years. The attendees would be representatives from large companies, chambers of commerce, and affluent families in the country and even in the world with solid backgrounds and strong financial resources. This was a grand multinational chamber of commerce party. It was held on the largest cruise ship, Queen Elizabeth, on the high seas of Riverton. This cruise ship was one of the three most luxurious and largest cruise ships in the world with a length of up to 350 yards and a total of eight floors! It could carry nearly 6,000 passengers! Very grand and luxurious! The owner of the cruise ship was also one of the most affluent families in the world, the Elizabeth family. Speaking of the Elizabeth family, that was the Queen's family! Everyone was in awe! Solid strength and countless wealth! Organizing a transnational chamber of commerce every three years to unite people from al
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
“Are you referring to humans like us or unique races like them?” Philip was surprised that Rabbit sensed something that he did not. Philip stroked Rabbit's round head with satisfaction as a compliment to him. Rabbit wiggled his short tail in pride. He really felt something was wrong, so he hoped Philip would pay attention to it. “I don’t think they're one of us. They're more likely one of the unique races.” Rabbit did not kick up a fuss after he noticed something was wrong but simply spoke to Philip on the side. He knew that these people might go crazy if they found out people were living in their ancestral land. Philip looked at Rabbit solemnly. After much deliberation, he finally decided to tell Selma about the discovery. Meanwhile, Selma was still thinking about how to get rid of Ariadna when Philip pulled her aside all of a sudden. Selma looked at Philip shyly with a hint of panic in her eyes. “I need to tell you something. Be mentally prepared for it,” Philip said se
If Philip had not been on guard, he might have been misled by the mist into thinking that it was nothing. Others rushed over, eager to find out what happened. Ronan looked around excitedly. He wanted to judge the situation by the traces left behind, but surprisingly, there was no sign of a battle. He was confused and wondered what had happened. He had been expecting a fierce battle. After all, it was very difficult to subdue such things. However, he saw a scene of peace in front of him. “Philip, what happened? Something feels wrong. There should be something toxic here, but I don’t see anything. Are you too strong or are those things too cunning?” Ronan was very curious and felt that things were more than met the eye. “You’ll find out soon. Anyway, did those guys follow you?” Philip looked back at the restless people mockingly. They were not that strong, but they would never miss any chance to take advantage of others. “Some of them did follow us, but they're not very quick
“On top of that, I can also help to expand your awareness and enhance your mental strength.” Philip persuaded the mist with everything he had, hoping that it would leave with him. He was strong enough to interact with the mist in an equal setting. If the mist refused to give in, Philip would consider beating it into submission. After much deliberation, the mist, who was more like an innocent child, agreed to Philip’s suggestion. Philip felt the excitement expressed by the mist. “I’ll take you into my space now. Don’t resist. You’ll feel that mysterious power in a minute.” He took the mist into his space, and the large expanse of blue mist vanished in an instant. The fierce killing intent in the passage disappeared with it. Philip looked at the disappearing mist in excitement. He found something very good this time. The mist was obviously still in its growing stage, an ignorant little thing at present. The mist would grow under his help into a strong existence. He was glad to
Arachne and the others saw the mist and were frightened. They quickly hid beside the snake people without lurking in the dark anymore. “What’s up with the weird mist?” The spider people brought more people than Selma’s team this time. Everyone was squeezed in this place, making it a little crowded. The snake people looked at them in disdain, shocked that they had the nerve to approach them. “Don’t you see how crowded this place is? Stop squeezing your way inside!” Cavin said with disdain. Although Cavin looked like a timid child who anyone could bully, he was quite manly in a confrontation. Rabbit huffed at them in anger but did not know what to say. Arachne rolled her eyes. “This is obviously the only safe place around. Where should we go if not here? You can leave if you think it’s crowded,” Arachne sneered with disdain. They knew that Philip had entered the danger zone, so they wanted to stay close to keep abreast of his updated situation. However, they overlooked
Whether the fine wine or the delicious beast meat provided by Philip, their strength improved greatly after the meal, which was simply too good to be true. Everyone guessed whether eating such meat on a long-term basis would make their bodies stronger. “Our business will definitely soar if we have such meat on the menu!” Selma marveled solemnly. She knew how attractive the meat was to humans or other races. It was worth looking forward to a meal that could improve one’s strength. Moreover, they could feel their bodies slowly absorbing the meat’s energy without going to waste, and they did not have to go through the effort of absorbing it, which was simply amazing. When Philip and his people left after having their fill, Arachne followed them with her people. Ariadna was so jealous that her thoughts became distorted. If she had not been so stupid back then, she might have gotten the chance to sit with Philip and enjoy the meal too. She lost the chance because she was stupid and
