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
“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
A woman like Arachne who pursued her own happiness was usually frowned upon. A person who was willing to sacrifice for the family would be recorded in history forever. Weaver patted Ariadna's shoulder expectantly, believing she could carry it out. After all, he did not know what had happened between them earlier. Everything was a big mistake. “I don’t think I can complete this difficult task,” Ariadna said nervously, afraid that Weaver would put too much hope on her. Ariadna knew that Rabbit had a grudge against her. Moreover, some of her actions had offended Philip, who might ignore her because of that. Thinking of this, she wanted to decline the task, but Weaver was very firm about his decision. “As the holy maiden of the family, this task is yours. No one else can do it but you.” Weaver put Ariadna on a high pedestal, so all the pressure fell on her. Weaver left with the others, leaving the poor holy maiden behind. Arachne looked at Ariadna resentfully. The opportunity
“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
