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 Although they’ve withdrawn from the domestic market, they still have power.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
“Jameson Gold, why are you calling me?” The voice on the other end of the phone was slightly low but sounded very oppressive. “Patriarch Larson, the Gold family is facing bankruptcy and it’s caused by a junior!” Jameson looked flustered and nervous at the moment. “What? Didn’t you mention the Larson family of Fernvale?” “I did, but they’re not taking the Larson family seriously,” Jameson said again. There was a stunned silence on the other end of the phone, and immediately, with a wave of anger, he shouted, “Who is so bold and dares to disregard the Larson family of Fernvale?!” Jameson immediately replied, “It’s a guy by the name of Philip Clarke.” Click! The phone was hung up immediately. Before Jameson could say any further, he stared at the phone with dazed eyes. He continued, “Hello, Patriarch Larson?” What happened? The call got interrupted? Was the signal bad? At this moment, Jameson was like a cat on a hot tin roof. He was very anxious. He called back
Here, after Philip left the front hall, Seamus caught up to him not long after he went out and respectfully said, “Young Master Clarke, things with the Hull family are almost settled. The old master told me to check with you how to deal with this thing.” With that said, Seamus took out a small brocade box and handed it to Philip. Philip glanced at Seamus, took the small brocade box, and opened it. It was a piece of green jade, obviously a broken fragment due to the sharp corners and edges. “What is this?” Philip asked in puzzlement. Seamus hurriedly turned the jade over and gestured. “Young Master Clarke, look at this.” Philip looked at it, and there was a word engraved on the back of the jade. Although it was not complete, it was vaguely recognizable, forming the word ‘Larson’. “Is this the only piece you could find?” Philip asked. Seamus nodded and said, “We found this in Colin’s room when cleaning out the Hull family’s mansion. The old master told me to hand this to
One of the trees was very big and had clearly lived for more than a thousand years. As Philip approached the exit, a tree whipped out a branch several yards long and slapped Philip. He noticed that the branch came from the biggest tree. “Sure enough, there’s more to it than meets the eye.” Philip backed away and dodged the tree’s attack. A deep pit was left where Philip stood. He frowned at the sight. The branch must have attacked with great force or it would not have smashed the ground to this state. Philip would most likely have been seriously injured if the attack had landed. Aslan and the others rushed over. “What’s going on? Is something up with that tree?” Everyone was nervous and stared at the tree solemnly. They felt that something was wrong with this place and had been keeping a close eye on Philip. Indeed, they noticed a problem with this tree. Rabbit pointed at the tree and yelled, “Philip, this big tree attacked you. Is it a monster?” Rabbit hopped around exci
Seeing Philip's confidence, the water monster became motivated and nodded with anticipation. It pointed out a direction to Philip. “Walk in this direction and you’ll see a large pool of water. You just need to enter it,” it told Philip how to go out. Philip nodded and took it into the Verge Tower. The water monster was stunned by Philip’s strength. It never thought that someone could control it so easily. As a powerful being, no one else could take it into such a space so easily. Obviously, it was no match for Philip. Philip had grabbed it so easily and locked it up in a space. “What is this place? Something doesn’t feel right.” The water monster examined the place, which did not pose any threat to it but gave it a very comfortable feeling instead. “Hey, the energy in this place is quite rich, suitable for practice. My strength would probably have soared to greater heights if that rabbit had locked me up in here.” The water monster quickly accepted its situation, already ac
“Do you mind if I keep a pet? I’ve developed some feelings for this guy and can't bear to kill him for the time being.” Philip was taken aback by the water monster’s weird mischief, but he had to admit that it was a good way of getting back at the grandmaster. Rabbit shrugged. He had no objection. Although the subject in question was the grandmaster, he had joined the wraiths. The rabbits always drew a clear line between love and hate. Joining the wraiths meant being an enemy of the rabbit family. The water monster smiled at Rabbit and gave him a thumbs-up. Everyone knew about the wraiths. “I always hear that the rabbits value friendship and loyalty, and I have to agree. This guy must be stupid to turn against you.” The grandmaster was shocked by the water monster’s strength. He had always thought that the other party surrendered obediently because it could not beat him, but it was just because it could not leave this place. “You concealed yourself really well. In that ca
Philip nodded after hearing the water monster’s remarks. “In that case, get rid of that rabbit. Show me what you can do.” Although Philip felt that this rabbit was difficult to deal with, he could still handle it with his strength. The grandmaster had only grown so big at the cost of reducing his strength. The water monster rubbed its hands excitedly at Philip’s agreement and pushed him aside. “Let me show you what I can do. That guy has been annoying me for a long time. I’ll let him have a taste of my fists!” It was simply goofing around with Philip when they fought earlier. Although it was scared of Philip’s exotic fire, it had been old rivals with the grandmaster for many years and had nothing to fear. “Old furball, get ready to die. After so many years, I think you've lived long enough!” After saying this, the water monster rushed to the grandmaster excitedly. Philip simply watched from the sidelines without getting involved. He could gauge their strength and see how
Due to that reason, the grandmaster captured the water monster and imprisoned it in this place. When his transformation into a wraith was completed, he could absorb the power of the water monster and use it to regain his strength. It was all part of his grand plan. He even triggered a conflict between the water monster and the rabbit family. Even if the water monster escaped, the grandmaster had nothing to worry about. The water monster would find ways to attack the rabbit family and would never leave them in peace. He simply had to assist the wraiths in destroying the rabbit family. “Something doesn’t seem right with your eyes. They're glowing green.” Rabbit suddenly looked at the grandmaster doubtfully as if he had discovered something. The rabbits’ eyes usually glowed red. Why were the grandmaster’s eyes glowing green? The grandmaster turned around to avoid making eye contact with Rabbit. “You don’t have to worry about my eyes,” the grandmaster said, obviously nervous.
“That rabbit has always shown up alone, so I don’t know who he is.” Rabbit said in embarrassment, “I know who that is. He’s none other than our grandmaster.” Although Rabbit had lost most of his memories, he remembered that he had a grandmaster who had a tuft of black fur on his head. His grandmaster was very strong, so he was always picking fights everywhere. If Rabbit was not mistaken, his grandmaster had tried every means to capture the water monster so that it could protect this place for him. “Your grandmaster is quite capable to have caught this water monster alive.” Philip could sense the water monster’s resentment and felt helpless about it. He thought that the grandmaster was quite inhumane. “Are you talking about me?” Before Philip could find out more, a voice suddenly rang from the side. Philip and the others turned around curiously and saw a white rabbit looking at them. Philip wondered if this was the so-called grandmaster they had been talking about. T
The water monster did not expect its army to be so weak that they could not withstand Philip’s attacks at all. It thought they could put up a fight, but Philip destroyed them easily. “That's not something I can control,” the water monster said helplessly. It could not expose the person behind him. “The person behind me is a force to be reckoned with, a powerful member of the rabbit family. Although I’m now under their control and I hate them to the core, I have no choice but to give in to them.” Philip said, “In that case, why don’t you tell me your story?” Philip was curious about this matter. After looking at Rabbit, the water monster chose to remain silent as if this matter was unspeakable. “Just speak your mind. This rabbit won’t do anything to you,” Philip said with a smile. Philip knew that the rabbit family was keeping a secret, but Rabbit had lost his memory and could not recall the past. After seeing Philip's reaction, Rabbit seemed a little conflicted as if wo
The many people in the group had to deal with a water monster each. The monsters were made of water, so no number of attacks caused any damage to them. Some monsters could even reproduce after being split into two. Philip frowned at this scene. Indeed, they were a force to be reckoned with. Philip and his team were dealing with the water monsters while Rabbit was bickering with the main guy. As the argument grew louder, the water monsters that Philip and his team were dealing with became more powerful. The water monsters appeared out of nowhere, but they were very strong. “We have to get rid of that guy or there'll be no end to these water monsters!” Philip was annoyed by this powerful opponent. They could not hurt him, which was annoying as hell. Aslan was caught up in the fight too. “These attacks of yours are just tickling me!” Aslan mocked the opponent. The next moment, the water monster waved its hand and froze Aslan on the spot. Aslan never dreamed that the oppo
Under normal circumstances, this monster would never get the better of Aslan. “Cut the crap. I’m not targeting you but this ugly rabbit. I’ll have fun with you after I deal with this rabbit!” The water monster stretched out its hand and grabbed Rabbit. To everyone, it looked like a gush of water rushing toward Rabbit. At this time, Rabbit chose the smartest and safest option, which was to hide behind Philip. Hiding behind Philip not only ensured his safety but also allowed Philip to help him deal with this thing. “Philip, I just recalled. This guy has a grudge against my rabbit family. It was captured and imprisoned in this place because it insulted my predecessor. This place is my family’s forbidden land!” Rabbit said excitedly, recalling many things. Philip nodded. He knew that this place was definitely related to Rabbit but did not expect that it was his family’s forbidden land. Thinking of this, he was full of expectation. A forbidden land should contain various treasur
