Connor Clarke, the former chieftain of the branch family! His identity was by no means ordinary! He was a living fossil of the Clarke family! Even Roger Clarke had to address him as ‘Uncle’ when he saw him! Philip’s frown deepened as he felt an unprecedented pressure! Unexpectedly, this old man who had long retreated behind the scenes made an appearance today! Interesting! Even Fulton Hash, who was silently observing from the side, had his eyebrows knitted together. There was a hint of suspicion in his heart. Why were there so many people from the branch family in Doverton today? “Grandpa, save me! Philip Clarke wants to kill me!” Levi was ecstatic when he saw his grandfather. He was finally saved! With his grandfather around, Philip would not dare to do anything, no matter how bold he was! Standing at the door, Connor lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Levi who was supported by the guards. There was a trace of anger and coldness on his face. “How did you end
At this time. Connor’s old face was filled with chills as he looked at Wynn who was standing beside Philip. He asked, “Is this the young madam of the main family?” Philip shielded Wynn, dragged her behind him, and asked, “What do you want to ask, Granduncle?” “What do I want to ask? How can a wild woman with no background be worthy of becoming the young madam of this family? Even your father wouldn’t dare to marry such a weak woman so simply!” Connor chided, the coldness in his eyes apparent. “Father is Father, and I’m me. Besides, I need to reiterate that she’s the wife of Philip Clarke. There’s no need to look at her background. She’s the young madam of the Clarke family!” Philip said solemnly, and the dormant coldness in his eyes seemed like it was about to explode! “Insolence!” Connor raised the cane in his hand and slammed it heavily on Philip! Philip did not even try to block it! It was because he could not block it! “You’re just the heir of the main family.
The scene immediately became extremely tense! In the hall, everyone waited with bated breath! Especially the group headed by Theo that had surrounded Connor and the others! At Philip’s command, they would detain all these guys who held no regard for Philip! Connor also had a solemn expression at this moment. He never expected that Philip would dare to be so bold and arrogant! How dare he disregard his status and position? Was he trying to sever all ties with the branch family? “You’re presumptuous! Even if your father is here right now, he wouldn’t dare say such a thing! Are you trying to cut off ties with us?” Connor bellowed furiously. Simply outrageous! Philip had not inherited the main Clarke family and was not yet qualified to rule over the entire Clarke family! However, he actually dared to say such words. It was simply ridiculous! Behind him, Allen also glared at Philip and rebuked, “Philip, how dare you?! You even dare to say such things in Connor’s presence
Right at this moment, a figure appeared in the crowd’s eyes.A black leather jacket and a pair of leather pants were wrapped around a sexy and hot body. The woman with shoulder-length hair carried a silver case in her hands, and two scimitars hung on either side of her tiny waistline. “Young Master.” 17 walked up to Philip, handed the silver case to him, and explained, “I took care of one of the guards from the branch family outside and learned from him that this case is very important. He was sent by Young Master Levi.” The case? Philip frowned and looked at the case on the ground. On the other end, Levi looked alarmed at the moment as he stared at the silver case with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes! “That's mine, give it back to me!” Levi shouted as he made a grab for it. Philip frowned and looked at the silver case, getting someone to open it. Inside was a tube of blood submerged in a container full of blue liquid.“What is this?” Philip asked Levi coldly. With
Connor’s eyes went red as he was pinned to the ground. This was his first time being insulted like this in his life! Utter humiliation! “I'm making a vow today. If I don’t revoke your status as the heir and if I don’t expel you from the Clarke family, I, Connor Clarke, will hang myself in the family’s memorial hall!” Connor roared in a cold voice with deep hatred in his eyes! Philip looked indifferent and smiled lightly, saying, “When the time comes, I’ll prepare a good coffin for you!” “You!” Connor was so angry that he almost vomited blood! Philip was simply too arrogant! Following that, Philip turned around and walked over to Levi who was also pinned to the ground. Bam! Philip went up with a kick and stomped on his head bitterly! At that moment, Levi's entire face was smashed to the ground! He felt as if his head was about to explode. The pain was heart-wrenching! “Levi, I never planned to take action against you. However, what you did today has already
“You did these?” Wynn asked with a heartbroken expression. Vincent Foley, now with a bruised and swollen face, begged desperately, “Madam Johnston, I was wrong. I won’t do this again. I was just confused.” Wynn stopped looking at him, and Philip ordered his men, “Take him out, break his limbs, and throw him out into the streets. Let him fend for himself.” Immediately after, Vincent’s frantic cries were heard as he got dragged out! Wynn felt a little distraught and wanted to plead for mercy, but Philip said, “Your kind-heartedness is an opportunity for them to harm you, understand?” Wynn bit her red lip and nodded. Soon, everyone left Burton Manor. On the way back, Wynn asked tentatively, “Phil, can you tell me who you are now? What is the Clarke family? What's up with those people today?” Philip pressed Wynn’s tender little hand and said after a moment of silence, “Soon. I’ll bring you back after I finish taking care of the matter in Uppercreek this time.” “Really?” W
Eight people. They were none other than the eight Dragon Warriors! Although Crawford knew what had happened at Dragon Gate that night, he could not help but ask worriedly at this moment, “Young Master Clarke, are you sure you'll only let the eight of them compete? We’re facing a group of martial arts representatives from 23 countries and regions this time. Do you need me to select more outstanding national arts talents…” Crawford was not looking down on the eight Dragon Warriors. It was just that he was worried. After all, they were facing the martial arts delegations of 23 countries and regions. Moreover, the tournament this time was a challenge to the whole world. In case something went wrong, the entire national martial arts circle would bear the shame. Therefore, Crawford had to proceed with caution. Philip shook his head and said, “No need. Just arrange it like this. Also, make a public announcement tonight that only eight participants from the national martial arts
Back to Wynn. She and Lydia were in a bedroom having a girl’s talk. “Sister Wynn, let me ask you something. If I like a man but this man has someone he likes and it will always stay that way, should I give up?” Lydia asked, blinking her big soulful eyes. Wynn sat on the bed, rubbed her stomach, and asked, “How much do you like that man?” “I can die for him,” Lydia quickly replied. Wynn thought for a moment and said, “Liking someone is up to the individual. If you really like him, find the opportunity to express your feelings. If the other party still refuses, I’d give the other party my blessing and leave. Because if you really like someone, you won’t cause trouble to the other party.” “What about love?” Lydia asked again. Wynn raised her head, looked at the window, and a pretty smile appeared on her mouth. She said, “Love is a matter between two people. Only when you love each other can it be called love.” Lydia pouted with her hands propped on her chin, asking, “Isn’t l
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
“I won’t be joining your guild, but I don’t mind being a spectator. At least I can watch the fun. I know that you’re quite strong, so you don’t need me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I don’t think you’ll face a problem.” Philip smiled indifferently, quite confident that nothing much would happen. The overall strength of the Celestial Palace had improved significantly, so they really had nothing to worry about. Jamie was relieved to hear that. In that case, he could rest assured.… The guild competition officially kicked off, and everyone was ready to battle it out. The battles were not something that simply required strength to resolve. Occasionally, the competitors required tactics too. As Alain was feeling anxious, his reinforcement finally arrived at the scene. The hooded man turned up with some potions, ready to carry out his task. “Hey, you’re finally here. I thought I wouldn’t see you again.” Alain was worried. He knew that he was in a precarious situati
“Father, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!” Hogster sat by Alain’s bedside and asked in a panic. Hogster would not have been worried about Alain in the past, but things were different now. They were facing various crises. Without his father to take care of things, they would be doomed. Alain coughed violently and fumbled around for some healing pills before stuffing them into his mouth. The pills were not useful for his injuries but could at least relieve his pain. After Alain took the pills, Hogster hugged him excitedly. “This is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.” Alain almost died in anger over his son’s remark. “Hogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. You’ll make a name for yourself if you do this.” Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, “Father, although I’m quite strong, you can’t do this to me! How am I suppose
The rabbit had a very expressive face as if it was watching Alain make a fool of himself. “You’re quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, let’s hear them.” Hay dangled from Rabbit's mouth, and he seemed disdainful. Alain seemed conflicted at the sight of Rabbit and felt like he was looking at Philip instead. “Why are you here?” This rabbit was weird, and no one could control it. As far as Alain knew, the rabbit was famous in major cities and good at picking fights. “Of course, I’m here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?” After saying this, Rabbit jumped up and kicked Alain, who started spitting mouthfuls of blood. Alain was strong in his own right, so there was no way he would be helpless against an attack. However, he simply could not resist Rabbit and could only suffer a beating. The guild members in the surroundings closed their eyes, feeling sorry for their guild leader. No one thought they could win th
It seemed that Alain had overestimated his importance. “Hey, wait a minute. Don't be so hasty. I just want to think about how to make things better. You should know that things are not as simple as you think. If I agree so easily, others might target me.” The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alain’s flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. “I thought you wouldn’t consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.” The hooded man smiled calmly as if mocking Alain from the bottom of his heart. Although Alain was being ridiculed, he could not say a word. The hooded man held the reins, so Alain had no choice but to obey. “I don’t mind this cooperation, but we need to plan this thoroughly. If you can help my guild to make a comeback in this competition, I can agree to your condition. Since you found me, you should know the trouble my guild is facing right now. Philip and his people are messing with us, and the Celestial Palace is keepi
Alain was a smart man and quickly grasped the key point. It seemed that this man was here to help him. “Tell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If you’re here to help me, let’s have an open discussion.” Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. “I know that your guild is facing a crisis. I can help you with that. I can get rid of all your problems and also ensure that your guild scores victory. Although I can't guarantee that you’ll win the championship, taking one of the top spots won’t be a problem.” The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this man’s offer to help him. At a moment of crisis, it was every man for himself. Right now, no one was willing to help him or lend a helping hand. Alain thought that this was too much of a coincidence. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?” Alain knew that
