Young Master Clarke? He was that same Young Master Clarke who caused the commotion at Dragon Gate?! Instantly, Norbert understood! He had run into a brick wall today! The other party was actually that Young Master Clarke! The confrontation with the seven Fusha Majors that happened at Splendor Hotel in the morning was still vivid in Norbert’s mind! It was because of Philip that the six hidden Aces suddenly resurfaced! Such prestige and dominance! The whole national martial arts circle was talking about this matter! All the martial arts families and forces around the world were discussing this very topic! Unexpectedly, the mysterious Young Master Clarke who was the one behind the shocking commotion was actually right in front of him at this moment! Andrew was also stunned! At this moment, his breathing turned rapid as he looked at the nonchalant Philip with deeply knitted brows. Hateful! Of all people, why was he that Young Master Clarke?! Faye and the other
Philip nodded silently without commenting. “By the way, Young Master Clarke, during my absence, I’d like to ask you to take care of Lydia for me,” Jacob said with a slight bow. Philip quickly grabbed Jacob and asked, “How many days do you plan to be away?” Jacob said in a light-hearted manner, “Four to five days, perhaps. For this trip, I don’t intend to return alive. If something happens to me, I hope you can give your full support to the Jensen family.” Philip frowned and said, “Is it such a serious matter?” Jacob said, “Young Master Clarke, you know too little about the national martial arts circle. I’m already old. I just hope I can use what’s left of my life to suppress these national martial arts families and seek a decade of stability for this industry.” “I’ll ask Mobius and the others to go with you,” Philip said urgently. He could see that Jacob was already prepared to die out on the field. “It won’t be necessary.” Jacob shook his head and said, “Aces are not all
Another old man who was about 60 years old carried the aura of an accomplished master, especially with his defined brows and a long beard. He said, “Don't forget what Senior Jensen said to us before he left. We must know our priorities.” Ace Boris Vahn was a learned practitioner in the arts of tarot and astrology. With that, Roxy gritted her teeth in hatred. Philip did not say a word. Along with the other six, he watched as the figure walked far away. It was desolate yet massive. This figure would support the backbone and future of national martial arts! After leaving this place, Philip returned to the hotel. When Martha saw Philip return, she immediately yelled, “Philip, I'm thirsty! Pour me a glass of water.” Philip answered, poured a cup of warm water, and handed it over. After that, he played with Mila for a while. “Philip, I want to eat an apple. Peel one for me." Martha looked at the TV and shouted. Philip quickly got up, sat on the side, and peeled the ap
Beep! The ear-piercing sound of the honking exploded in Martha’s ears! The rolling clouds of dirt also swept across Martha’s face! She watched as the steel-like beast whistled past her eyes! At that moment, Martha's head was blank and she forgot to breathe. When she finally reacted, she yelled hysterically, “Philip, you're committing murder! You're doing this on purpose! I'm your mother-in-law!” Philip pulled the wheelchair back and said indifferently, “Sorry, I was lost in thought.” Lost in thought? Martha would never believe such nonsense! Philip just wanted to get her involved in a traffic accident so that she would die! She got angry and roared, “Philip, you miserable wretch! I'm going to tell Wynn that you actually tried to murder me. You wastrel, you piece of junk—” Suddenly, the second half of her sentence became choked in her throat and she could no longer continue. It was because she had turned back and met Philip's cold gaze. What a terrible look!
“Haha, Juan, this plan is just too good! It's seamless! When the time comes and I get all of that guy's property, I won’t forget your share!” Martha was full of excitement and thrill. Juan smiled and did not say anything, his eyes reflecting ruthlessness. Philip could not blame him for doing this! In the evening, Philip returned with Mila. When she saw that Philip was back, Martha shouted, “Philip, my friends invited me to dinner tonight. Why don’t you accompany me?” Philip frowned slightly and asked suspiciously, “Mom, do you have friends in Uppercreek?” Hmph! Martha snorted coldly. “What do you think? They’re all my old classmates. I’m here this time to attend a class reunion.” Philip nodded but said, “You’re already like this and you still want to go?” Martha scolded with hatred, “How did I end up in this state in the first place? Why are you talking so much? Is it so difficult to ask you to accompany me somewhere? If you don't want to go, forget it. I’ll get som
Martha glared at Philip who was sitting in the corner with his eyes closed and said, “Don’t you think I regret it? I told my daughter many times to divorce this good-for-nothing but she refused to listen to me. Now that she’s pregnant with the second child, it’s even more difficult.” Several people shook their heads and said, “Hey, Martha, it’s not that I want to chastise you, but you need to be decisive with certain things. A useless son-in-law like him is nothing but an embarrassment.” “You’re right, this loser has done his fair share in embarrassing me!” Martha spoke from the heart, and their conversation grew increasingly heated. When the food was served, Martha yelled at Philip in dissatisfaction, “Philip, why are you still sitting there? Come here and serve me! It’s really an embarrassment to have brought along a dummy like you out with me!” At the table, Martha’s old classmates were full of taunting expressions as they watched Philip walk over obediently to serve Marth
Martha growled, yelling, “You’re talking nonsense! How could my son-in-law do such a thing?” “I'm talking nonsense? The evidence is right here. Do you still want to deny this on behalf of your scumbag son-in-law?” The burly man roared furiously. The onlookers also shook their heads and started condemning Philip. “This scum! Martha, your son-in-law is such a brute!” “This person must be arrested! He’s simply the scum of society!” Two middle-aged women walked over, wrapped the girl in the corner with a blanket, and then took her aside to comfort her. “Philip, I told you to wait here. I didn't expect you to do such a brutal thing! How old is she? You actually… You have completely embarrassed and disappointed me!” Martha accused Philip and shouted. That angry expression on her face did not seem faked at all. Philip was being forced on his knees by someone. He struggled desperately and explained, “I didn’t. I was framed. I don’t know anything.” Bam! That brawny man lande
Philip looked cold and stern as he took a deep breath before asking gruffly, “Where is she now?” “Madam Yates is having dinner with someone at Whitebird Restaurant,” Master Bell replied respectfully with a trace of worry in his eyes. “Dinner? With who?” Philip asked again. “It’s your old friend, Juan Parker,” Master Bell replied. When Philip heard this name, he understood everything at once. It turned out Juan was the one who had secretly arranged for Martha to come to Uppercreek just so they could team up and ruin Philip’s reputation? Looking at the sky outside the window, Philip's eyes were full of solemn chills. He turned to Master Bell and said, “Let’s go to Whitebird Restaurant.” Master Bell nodded hurriedly and followed Philip out of the hotel. At the entrance of the hotel, a Rolls-Royce and a fleet of Mercedes-Benz vehicles had been waiting for a long time. Master Bell’s people stood on two sides, and seeing Philip approaching, they all bowed respectfully and g
“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
