Everyone followed the direction of the voice. A figure at the door walked in quickly, his body radiating anger. He was wearing a decent suit and had a handsome face. The newcomer was none other than Seamus Lowell of the Lowell family in Riverton! He stepped into the area and everyone around him dispersed. Most people looked at Seamus with shocked expressions. They did not expect to see Seamus from the Lowell family here. It was because in the venue, not many had a higher status or more wealth than the Lowell family. According to the Lowell family's status and financial resources, they should be in the inner hall instead of the front hall. “It’s Seamus Lowell from the Lowell family. He actually came to the front hall.” “The Lowell family of Riverton has monopolized the area now. Even the huge Hull family has been wiped out by the Lowell family.” “But of course. About this, I’m really curious about the mysterious Young Master Clarke who helped the Lowell family in the
The person Seamus called Mr. Clarke, who else could it be? Only that person! That mysterious Young Master Clarke who wiped out the Hull family in one fell swoop! Thinking of this, Hubert’s legs went weak and he started trembling all over! Doomed! Who would have thought that the seemingly ordinary man in front of them would be that Young Master Clarke?! This matter was out of hand. Hubert knew that he could not resolve it now. Only the patriarch would be able to do so. The people around were still puzzled. Why did Hubert’s demeanor change in an instant? He had been calm and strong before, but now, his face was full of fear and horror. It was strange. However, very soon... Someone in the crowd held a mobile phone and exclaimed, “Oh my! He’s that mysterious Young Master Clarke, the one who destroyed the Hull family in one fell swoop!” In an instant, the crowd exploded! Many people began to pull out the photo online and compared it to Philip carefully. Sure en
The head of the Gold family in Uppercreek, Jameson Gold! The people who knew Jameson all looked astonished at this moment. Who would have expected that the head of the Gold family would personally come to deal with such a small matter?! It seemed that the incident today was going to be big news. “Patriarch.” Hubert immediately walked to Jameson's side with a respectful expression on his face and spoke to him in a low voice. Clifford was like a drowning man clutching at a straw. He ran behind his father in a hurry and said, “Dad, you’re finally here.” Jameson nodded. Leading the eight private bodyguards, he stood there and exuded his presence. The people around inadvertently took a few steps back. Jameson first looked at Seamus, then at Philip. He said with a smile that did not reach his eyes, “Young Master Clarke, let’s just forget about this matter. My son will apologize to you. How about it?” Overbearing! Forceful! Knowing that he was facing Seamus and Young M
The arrogance! The reason why Jameson was so arrogant was because of the boss standing behind him. When he was done speaking... Behind the crowd, a few big shots who remained and were nonchalantly drinking tea started discussing in a low voice. “That Jameson Gold is really audacious. If not for the Larson family of Fernvale standing behind him, I’d have taken care of that guy a long time ago.” “The Larson family of Fernvale, huh? Although they’ve withdrawn from the domestic market, they still have power. What’s more, the head of the Larson family is here tonight.” “Seamus Lowell and that Young Master Clarke have met their match tonight.” The few big bosses glanced at each other, eyes filled with anticipation as they watched the drama unfold. Each had an agenda of their own. Philip raised his brows, thought for a while, and said, “No.” Instantly, Jameson’s face turned cold. Staring at Philip, he said, “Young Master Clarke, I respect you but I do not fear you. I advis
Hearing that, everyone shuddered. They had witnessed the arrogance from Jameson, but who would have thought that Philip was even more arrogant! Hitting someone in public! He was completely disregarding the Larson family of Fernvale. How dare he speak like this? Could it be that Young Master Clarke's origin was more terrifying than theirs? That was everyone’s question. However, Seamus just sneered in his heart. The arrogant Gold family was completely ignorant of Philip’s identity and dared to act so boldly. Only the worst results awaited them. “Young Master Clarke, I have to say that you’re very brazen. However, you may not be aware of the power and methods of the Larson family. I’d advise you not to step out of line. Do everything within your means and you can go far.” Jameson was holding his right eye, his face full of chills. He glanced at Philip and felt nothing but resentment! Was this Young Master Clarke really not afraid of the Larson family? “What if I sa
Did he think the capital market was child’s play? Many people who knew the Gold family and the Larson family shook their heads one after another. “Alas, Young Master Clarke is taking it too far this time. Although his method of destroying the Hull family is unforgettable, we’re talking about Uppercreek after all. Furthermore, the Larson family is involved. It’s not going to be easy.” “No doubt about it. Uppercreek is going to be a tough nut to crack, made even tougher now that the Larson family is in the picture.” “The Gold family is very influential in Uppercreek and well-connected with the other families. Making a move against the Gold family means breaking the Upperglade Chamber of Commerce Alliance!” Among them, some ignorant wealthy second-generations in other regions, including some foreign guests, shrugged their shoulders to express their lack of understanding. They asked, “What is the Upperglade Chamber of Commerce Alliance?” Immediately, someone chuckled and said,
Jameson was confused by that question. How would he know who he called? “Hehe, Young Master Clarke, stop pretending. It’s not so easy to bring down the Gold family in Uppercreek! To tell you the truth, there’s no need for the Larson family to take action at all. Just the Upperglade Chamber of Commerce Alliance in Uppercreek is enough to stop you in your tracks!” Jameson sneered, his face full of disdain. Philip laughed, took out his mobile phone, and said, “The person I called just now is Hoyt Luther, the chairman of the Upperglade Chamber of Commerce Alliance!” Hoyt Luther?! When everyone heard that, they were shocked and amazed! “It turned out to be Hoyt Luther, the chairman of the Upperglade Chamber of Commerce Alliance. He was the main person in charge!” “How is this possible? He can actually reach Hoyt Luther!” Not only were the onlookers shocked, but Jameson was also completely dumbfounded at this moment. He was suspicious and nervous at the same time. He quic
Was it just because of one request from him? Even the Upperglade Chamber of Commerce Alliance had to follow his orders? Terrifying! On the other side of the phone, Hoyt sneered and said, “Jameson, you refuse to accept it? Do you f*cking know who founded the Upperglade Chamber of Commerce Alliance?” Hoyt almost roared his words. Jameson trembled in fright and asked weakly, “Who?” “It’s the Young Master Clarke who’s standing in front of you right now!” Hoyt guessed that Philip must be standing with Jameson now, so he shouted directly into the phone! F*cking idiot! This was his comeuppance! Over here, Jameson was petrified on the spot. His eyes were full of disbelief and panic! The Upperglade Chamber of Commerce Alliance was actually founded by Young Master Clarke?! How could that be? Jameson was completely stunned! At this moment, Jameson’s cell phone rang. After he answered it tremblingly, he heard an anxious voice on the other end of the phone. “Patriarch, som
“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
