On the other end of the phone, a middle-aged man’s voice said heartily, “No problem. I’ll dispatch however many people you need and make immediate arrangements for you.” Philip thought for a while and gave an estimate, “Three combatant squads.” “Sure. Will it be enough? If not, I can send more,” Tim Clarke replied. Philip smiled and said, “It’s enough. Too many will only attract attention.” The reason for this personnel transfer was just to make a trip to Country M and visit the Hall of Hades. Too many people would make it difficult to cross the border. Tim hummed before saying in a low voice, “By the way, I need to ask you. Did you detain Connor Clarke, Allen Clarke, and Levi Clarke of the branch family?” Tim had heard of this news before but never paid much attention to it. It was a fact that the branch family had crossed the line. It was time for them to face the repercussions. “Yes, I did. Why? Did the branch family go to the main family and demand for their rel
After hanging up the phone, Philip did not stay here for long but returned to the hotel with Josh and the others. The aftermath of the world tournament was handed over to the Jensen family. As for Connor Clarke and the rest, they were being watched over by Theo’s people. They were simply confined in a hotel without any other excessive treatment. Several of them were confined in the room with good food and drinks. They just could not communicate with the outside world. “It’s too hateful! How dare Philip detain us like this?!” Allen was very emotional at the moment, pacing around the room with a face full of anger! Connor took it in stride. He sat on the sofa calmly, drinking coffee and reading the newspaper. He said, “Allen, don't wander around. Just sit and be at ease. I'd like to see what that little guy can do.” “Connor, why are you so calm? Philip is trying to make a move against our branch family!” Allen’s face was full of resentment. That damned little Philip! Ho
When did this kid arrive? Had Philip heard their conversation just now? Connor’s face darkened as a cold glint appeared in his eyes. Allen and Levi also panicked. After all, what they had just discussed was too confidential. They wanted to step over the line and attempt to seize the main Clarke family’s power! Anyone who heard it would be surprised! Furthermore, standing at the door was the heir of the Clarke family, Philip Clarke! This was bad! Levi glanced at Connor and whispered, “Grandpa, what should we do? Do you think he heard everything?” Levi was still a little flustered. After all, if the main family heard those treacherous words just now, he could really be expelled from the Clarke family! Even the branch family would be in trouble! This kind of thing had to be done in secret. If it was let out in the open, it would be challenging the prestige of the main family! However, Connor looked at Philip who was walking in with a calm expression and asked gravely
Philip had raised his hand and slapped Connor directly on the face angrily. He then shouted darkly, “Old man, show some respect! Wynn is my wife and the young madam of the Clarke family! As long as I take her back, add her to the family registry, and receive initiation at the memorial hall, even you, Connor Clarke, and your branch family will have to kneel down and respect her!” Philip was angry. Connor, this old thing, was relying on his seniority in the branch family to ignore him, the heir of the main Clarke family! Of course, this slap also made Connor angry. He stared at Philip with round eyes while gasping for breath, shouting furiously, “Philip Clarke, how dare you hit me?! I’m Connor Clarke, the most senior person in the Clarke family! Even if your father is here, he wouldn't dare to make a move against me!” Connor was livid! As an elder, he was actually hit in the face by a junior with a shaky foundation! If news of this got out, how could he gain a foothold in the
Connor Clarke was more than 80 years old and had never been afraid of anyone! How dare a junior make a bet with him? Okay then, he would fulfill his wish of courting death! Since Philip said so, he would have no worries about making a move against the main family! “Good, let’s put it on paper then.” Philip suddenly asked his men to bring over a pen and paper. Connor got angry and shouted, “Don’t you believe what I said?” Philip chuckled. “It’s not that I don’t believe you, but I need a guarantee—one that allows me to strike out at your branch family without any misgivings.” Audacious! Connor finally realized the audacity that ran in Philip’s bones! “Haha, what a joke!” Connor laughed and said, “Do you really think you can win on your own? Fine, let’s record it then. This time, even your father won’t be able to save you! Just wait to be kicked out of the Clarke family by me!” After saying that, Connor wrote down the details of the bet between both sides on a sheet
Only a handful of people knew about this plan. It was because this plan was too earth-shattering, tantamount to undermining the foundation of the main family! If Roger Clarke found out about it, he would no longer tolerate the branch family! Connor nodded and said, “Get the manpower ready. Once we have the results, for better or worse, we must capture that b*tch!” “Yes, Grandpa!” Levi nodded in response. Back to Fulton Hash. He was currently talking to someone over the phone with a respectful look in his eyes, saying, “My lord, I have something to report to you. Connor Clarke and Levi Clarke of the branch family have made a move against the young madam. Their aim is most likely the door.” An old voice sounded from the other end of the phone, and from his tone, the man seemed to have known about it for a long time. He said without any emotional fluctuations, “I know. They’re still too anxious, so eager to get their hands on the door and to achieve their unspeakable motives.
Wylan Jensen? Hearing that, Philip’s brows furrowed deeply and his face became extremely gloomy! Wylan Jensen, the outcast of the Jensen family! How dare he kidnap Wynn and Mila?! He was looking for death! Philip had already given him a way out, but unexpectedly, he still came looking for death! Very well! The killing intent in Philip’s eyes was obvious, and all the men at the scene were horrified because they could sense an extremely strong murderous aura coming from Philip who was in front of them! Philip was angry. “Where’s Lydia Jensen?” Philip asked. After all, he had told Lydia to stay with Wynn. The man replied, “She’s also been kidnapped. There were too many people on the other side and they were all very strong. We weren’t a match for them.” The man was very upset. Philip’s frown deepened as he understood the situation. At the same time, Master Bell and his men also arrived upon receiving the news. As soon as he saw Philip, he immediately bowed resp
Wynn burst into tears. She quickly trotted over, hugged Mila who was on the ground, and cried out, “Mila, Mila, are you okay? Don’t scare me!” Mila opened her eyes and murmured in pain, “Mom, it hurts.” Wynn held Mila in her arms as she stared resentfully at Wylan, shouting hysterically, “You b*stard! She's still a child. Just come at me if there’s anything!” Wylan sneered, waved his hand, and said to the two men behind him, “Take that kid out.” “Yes, Master Jensen.” The two men responded, rushed over fiercely, and snatched Mila away from Wynn’s arms! Of course, Wynn was unwilling to let go of her daughter. She pounced on them, grabbed their hands, and yelled out, “No, give her back to me! Give her back! Please don’t take her!” Her tears fell like a fountain. Smack! Wylan raised his hand and slapped Wynn on the face. Then, he grabbed her by the neck and shouted viciously, “Do you know why I captured you?” Wynn’s toes were off the ground now. Her face was flushed and
“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
