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 Although they’ve withdrawn from the domestic market, they still have power.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
Fitz felt particularly bad at the thought that he failed to protect his people. He vowed to take revenge. People of other races shared the same thoughts. Everyone thought that their people had gone out to seek ways to leave but were met with an accident. Unexpectedly, they were harmed by the spider people, which was simply despicable and unacceptable. “You just need to sacrifice one more person for everyone to leave this dangerous place and lift the curse from us,” Weaver said. Everyone's eyes turned bloodshot at his words, shocked that Weaver would say that so openly. “Hehe, you’re really bold to perform a sacrifice. Why not use one of your own?” Fitz laughed and stared at Weaver. Weaver scowled. Of course, the idea crossed his mind, but the records stated that they had to use other races for sacrifice. Using their own people as sacrifice would void it, so they had to use others. This would not only reduce the other party’s manpower but also save a lot of effort. However,
Philip wanted to figure out what the spider people were up to. It looked like they had been planning this for a long time, which was terrifying. He had to let the others know about this. Everyone had the right to know. Moreover, the pitiful magpie woman was scared out of her wits. Philip had to bring her home. “Let's go back now. We’ll explore this place later. Do you want to stay here or go out with us?” Philip looked at Celeste curiously. He did not think she was brave enough to venture out. Sure enough, Celeste tugged at the corner of her clothes as she pondered. “I'll go out with you!” Celeste finally decided after much deliberation. Since she had decided to follow Philip, there was no point in hiding here anymore. She had to pluck up the courage. Celeste had lived in the forest for very long and had never gone out before, so she was curious about the outside world. “I want to see the outside world!” Celeste said nervously. Philip simply nodded without a word. The
At this point, Philip sprang into action. He appeared in front of the other party, catching them off guard. “Who allowed you to kill people for no reason?” The spider people were shocked by Philip’s sudden appearance. They were frightened to see someone there, and he was none other than the human who had strayed into this place by accident. The spiders panicked and wanted to run, but Philip quickly released Puffy. The spider people could not escape because of the curse placed on them and also because of Puffy's existence. The passage only allowed entry, not exit. When anyone stepped into that passage, they would not only come under Puffy’s attack but also suffer a gut-wrenching pain. They felt something was wrong when they tried to escape. Someone noticed Puffy approaching them and yelled in fear, “It’s that deadly thing!” Someone recognized Puffy and ran away screaming. They had no chance of winning against Puffy, so they had no choice but to run. Seeing someone running aw
Philip could tell that Celeste wanted to help, but she was too weak to do anything. “Don’t worry so much. Let’s wait and see what happens. If possible, we won’t stand by and do nothing. These people are simply outrageous.” Philip did not have a good impression of the spider people, and this incident made it worse. “Not bad!” Rabbit hopped onto Celeste’s shoulder excitedly. Ever since he found out that Celeste had no ability, he liked her even more. He liked people who had no combat power. Except for that extra eye, there was nothing strange about her. Besides, she was quite a beautiful woman, so Rabbit was fond of her. “Philip will take care of it. Don’t worry about it. He’s an outstanding man who fights for justice. You’ll have a good life if you follow Philip, especially since you have that ability but are powerless to take care of yourself. I’m sure you need someone to protect you,” Rabbit chattered away. Rabbit knew how special Celeste’s ability was. She would be of gr
Celeste seemed simple and kind, and after she told Philip everything she knew, Philip and Rabbit gradually changed their minds about her for the better. “We actually learned such a big secret this time. What a surprise!” Philip exclaimed. He followed Celeste to the altar, which was very far away. Before they reached the altar, they smelled a strong stench of blood. Philip frowned at this unexpected development. Rabbit covered his nose in surprise at the strong stench of blood. “Wait, I don’t think it’s human blood.” Philip sensed that the blood came from the few pitiful races. “I can smell it. Except for the spider people, I smell the blood of other races!” At this moment, a soft sound came from the side. Celeste quickly pulled Philip and Rabbit to hide in the corner. Celeste had lost the ability to be invisible, so she could only take Philip to hide in a panic. She knew that they could not expose themselves. “Someone is coming. Stay here and don’t do anything. You’ll f
“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
