Hearing this, Sidney was taken aback for a moment. There was a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth as he said, “Dad, are you trying to test Philip?” Kinley smiled without saying anything and looked out the window as the rain gradually stopped. A flickering sneer appeared on his aged face as he said, “Of course, we must test him. The Wes family is in this state because of him! We should get an indication from him this time and see whether dignity or his daughter is more important to him.” “Dad, how many people are we going to bring there this time? The Lambert family’s house is not a good place. Do I need to arrange for people to follow us?” Sidney asked. It was not without reason for him to be worried. After all, the Lambert family in Cloudside was like the royal family. Their home was heavily guarded! Besides, they were going to face Philip Clarke, the young man who caused the Wes family their downfall! Kinley pondered for a moment before saying, “Bring some. Just pic
Terrifying! As if he had guessed what was on Sidney’s mind, Kinley added, “These people should be here to protect Philip.” Hearing this, Sidney frowned as he recalled the armband that Philip had taken out that day! Afterward, his father had explained to him the special significance of that armband! In the territory, it was a first-class honor! No wonder there were people from the military corps standing guard here. Not long after, the bodyguard from before quickly walked out and said to Kinley, “Master Lambert invites the both of you in.” After that, Kinley thanked him and stepped inside with Sidney. “Sorry, Master Lambert only extended his invitation to two people. These bodyguards can’t go in.” The Lambert family's bodyguards stopped the four elite bodyguards in suits behind Kinley. The atmosphere instantly became tense. Kinley smiled and motioned for them to stay outside and wait. Soon, the two arrived at the main hall of the Lambert family’s mansion. At th
Kinley smiled and said, “Master Lambert, you think too highly of us. We won’t take this money. We just want to tell Young Master Clarke what we know in person.” Nigel frowned. After some confirmation, he walked aside, dialed Philip’s number, and said respectfully, “Young Master Clarke, someone wants to see you. He says he has clues about Miss Clarke.” Philip was outside. After receiving this call, his eyes went cold as he asked, “Who is the other party?” Nigel replied, “The other party is Kinley Wes and Sidney Wes. They’re not from Cloudside. They should be—” “I got it. I’ll return immediately!” Philip ended the call as a trace of complex emotions appeared in his eyes. Kinley Wes and Sidney Wes! Why had they appeared here? By right, these two people should have been arrested. Now, the other party was actually here and claiming they had clues about Mila. Something fishy must be going on. Philip was very puzzled. He asked the driver to turn around and rush back to t
Inside the hall, a dozen bodyguards had already barged in and surrounded the place! Sidney got a fright and shouted, “Philip Clarke, we know your daughter's whereabouts!” “Are you threatening me?” Philip turned his head, his cold eyes falling on Sidney. Sidney felt uncomfortable under this gaze and his temper diminished immediately. He turned his head to look at his father. Kinley smiled lightly. He looked calm on the surface but his heart was in turmoil! “Young Master Clarke, I apologize on Sidney’s behalf. I heard about your daughter’s whereabouts from my men. Yesterday, a group of people was burned to death in Serene Town outside Cloudside. Apparently, one person escaped, but unfortunately, that person accidentally drove off the cliff. His whereabouts are still unknown. At the scene, only the badly damaged Buick was found. The license plate number is A56825…” At this point, Kinley stopped and took out a photo. It was the damaged car at the bottom of the cliff. Philip t
Big discovery? Philip was intrigued and quickly opened the case file. After a few cursory glances, his eyes gradually became cold. Most of the content inside was related to Chester’s personal experience and so on, which Philip was not interested in. What he was interested in was whether there were people or forces behind Chester Ludwig. Sure enough, there was! The support he had turned out to be quite big! “The Gentleman Court?” Philip frowned, his expression darkening slightly. This was the first time he had heard about the Gentleman Court. On the side, Josh said, “That’s right, Gentleman Court isn’t very conspicuous but they have people in many important regions or industries. It can be said that this force’s influence is very widely spread and the leaders from all walks of life may even be their people.” Philip nodded and continued reading. Josh also continued talking, “According to the results of the investigation, Gentleman Court has a very mysterious big boss be
Obviously, the other party’s target was Philip but they were going around in circles. Philip shook his head and said, “It’s okay, I know my limits. Even if the Gentleman Court is an iron wall, I’ll crush it to smithereens!” At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the main hall. They were wearing loose, long black robes with hoods over their heads, concealing their true appearances. The only thing that could be clearly identified was the golden dagger crest on their collars. “Young Master!” The two figures walked in, directly knelt on one knee, and greeted Philip respectfully. Philip frowned when he saw the visitors and asked, “Father sent you here?” The two replied, “Yes. The lord ordered us to protect the young master in secret while rescuing the young miss.” “Then why did you suddenly show up?” Philip asked. The two replied, “Young Master, because you want to take action against the Gentleman Court. The lord has instructed that once you lear
The Clarke family of Arcadia Island?! Hearing this, Chester shuddered all over as the cold sweat on his forehead came gushing! How could this be? Why was the Clarke family on Arcadia Island keeping an eye on him? A family like that was definitely not one he could easily oppose! “Miss Clarke, I’d appreciate your clear advice.” Chester panicked. Rachel glanced at him coldly and said, “Let’s go in and talk.” Soon, the two entered the suite. Rachel sat on the sofa with elegant poise. She sipped a mouthful of warm coffee and said, “Do you know who Philip Clarke is?” Chester respectfully responded, “Wynn Johnston’s husband from the Johnston family in Riverdale and the young master of Clarke Group which has gone bankrupt. According to the clues I found, he’s also the owner behind Milanelson Angel Investment Group and knows many people on the streets. Theo Zander of Riverdale and Master Bell of Uppercreek are his people and they’re quite respectful to him. Moreover, the Lambert
The heir of the Clarke family! “Miss Clarke, you must save me.” Chester was anxious. He knew he was in danger this time! However, why had the lord not stopped him from executing his plans despite knowing about Philip’s identity? Rachel said indifferently, “Chester, don’t panic. It was the lord who sent me here to help you. Although the Clarke family is watching you now, things have not reached the worst point yet.” Chester hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked humbly, “Miss Clarke, what arrangements does the lord have? What should I do next?” It was a matter of life and death. Chester had never been so anxious before. The Clarke family on Arcadia Island was a behemoth, an absolutely inviolable family! Even though Chester Ludwig was one of the 11 members of the Gentleman Court, he was still not a match for the Clarke family on Arcadia Island! Rachel got up, put her hands across her chest, and stood in front of the large French window. She was looki
After getting rid of the crocodile, Philip jumped up and returned to the shore with Rabbit. Although he had been fighting in the water for a while, Philip was not wet at all—a stark contrast with Rabbit. “Philip, are your clothes waterproof? Maybe I should see if I can make my fur waterproof?” After he was back to safety, Rabbit started shooting his mouth off excitedly again. He never thought he could survive. Philip was expectant when he felt the sudden increase in his power. He dragged the crocodile ashore. He thought this creature was weird. It was not a monster beast and did not have a monster core. However, it was very powerful and could fight Philip with its body alone. The monster beasts he had seen in the past could spray fire or water, fly in the air, or burrow underground. In short, they had some abilities to a certain extent. However, the crocodile in front of him did not display any abilities. It was just like an ordinary crocodile in the zoo. Despite that, ev
When they arrived at the oasis, Philip found that it covered a large area. This place could be considered a large island that looked quite luxurious and extraordinary. “We can finally have a good rest.” Rabbit leaned against a big tree comfortably. He felt relaxed as soon as he entered the oasis, which was not so hot and had abundant water resources. “The environment is quite good, but I wonder if there’s any danger.” Philip looked around with satisfaction. Suddenly, an ugly monster rushed toward them, so fast that Rabbit could not react. Rabbit was very close to the water and was taken by the monster before he could react. Philip immediately gave chase. The monster bit Rabbit and plunged into the water. Philip reached out and grabbed the monster. He knew that Rabbit was useless in such cases. Rabbit would probably be dead if the weird monster took him away. “Philip, save me!” Rabbit spluttered in the water, bobbing up and down, feeling very scared. He regretted staying
“This may look very cruel, but it wouldn’t have happened if they hadn’t attacked us,” Rabbit said with a sigh. He knew that Philip would not have done this if the ants had not treated them as food. He knew Philip too well. He would avoid trouble as much as possible. Philip would not attack for no reason even if he had to take a detour. However, the ants’ killing intent was too strong. It was bad enough if Rabbit felt scared. He just wanted to cheer for Philip. “Philip, did you notice that this place is not a secret realm but more like a world?” Rabbit said doubtfully. At first, Rabbit thought that the stone man had teleported them to a terrible secret realm, but after some time, he felt a difference between this place and a secret realm. “Although we can find various natural environments in a secret realm, they're generally false and can't appear in front of us, but everything around us is real!” The monsters they usually encountered in a secret realm would attack their s
“Wait a minute. Do you think that the black energy is approaching us?” Moray stepped back in a panic and looked around in disbelief. Hearing that, everyone looked at their surroundings. Sure enough, the black energy was getting closer. Aslan estimated that it would take six hours for the black energy to trap everyone. Aslan was calm. All the people under Philip’s command did not find the black energy dangerous. Only the losers would find it dangerous. Now that Philip was trapped, it was useless for them to worry. Aslan took out some recliners from his space ring and asked everyone to wait quietly. “Now that we’re free, let’s prepare some food and drinks. Let's not get into trouble.” At Aslan’s order, everyone took action. They had nothing to worry about. The others stared at them in surprise and amazement. Now that danger was upon them, how could these people laugh and eat without worries? They did not take the stone man seriously at all. However, they could not do
“What the hell did you do? Give Philip back. Stop messing around!” Aslan threatened the stone man. Aslan knew that the stone man must have taken Philip to a dangerous place. Philip must have been taken into a barrier or an unknown and terrifying place. Anyway, the stone man must be up to no good! The stone man calmly ignored them. “I’m your only opponent. I don't know how many stone people there are in the outside world, but as far as I know, I’m the only stone man in this world. “Since Philip is that powerful, I’ll give him six hours. If he can leave my secret realm, I’ll let you go. If not, be prepared to die.” After saying that, the stone man laughed wickedly and vanished from the spot, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment. No one knew where he had gone, and no one knew what was going on. The people of the major races summoned their people in a panic. No matter what, they had to find the way out. “Hurry up and find an exit. We can't put all our hope
“Let’s walk ahead. I believe this is an illusion created by the stone man to confuse us. As long as we stay calm, he can’t do anything to us,” Philip said calmly as if he knew what was going on. He and Rabbit walked forward and soon saw a huge oasis in front of them. Rabbit was delighted to see the oasis because that meant there was still hope for them. Although the desert environment was harsh, they should be able to bump into some indigenous people and figure out what was going on. “Philip, are my eyes playing tricks on me? I see an oasis ahead of us. This is great. In that case, we can find a way out!” Rabbit knew that Philip had been looking for a way out but to no avail. Something had to be preventing him from doing it. They might have to pass a test before they could leave. In that case, they had to figure out the secret. Philip glanced at the oasis in front of him and relaxed a little. At least, he could tell that it was not a mirage. They excitedly ran to the oasi
The black shadow was not bothered about revealing its identity because it liked being a stone man. “The stone people have strong minds and a firm resolve. They're never as disgusting and selfish as humans. It's a pity that we didn't have a chance to develop. I found a fragmented scroll that recorded some techniques for development. Among them is a technique most suitable for the stone people to become stronger through a sacrificial ritual.” The stone man seemed very earnest as he explained the details, but he was, in fact, using this time to solidify his body until he was finally complete. “Haha, everything is over once I get rid of you!” the stone man laughed. His figure shook, and clouds of black energy formed again. However, the black energy was only aimed at Philip. In his opinion, the others would die once he got rid of Philip. Philip was surrounded by black energy before he could react. In a split second, he could not see anything around him. Seeing this, Rabbit rushe
Before this, these people kept insulting Philip and wished they could tear him into pieces. They even thought it was unlucky to see him here. Surprisingly, events took a sudden turn, and Philip became their savior instead. “Enough with the crap.” Philip did not want to respond to their gratitude. He just wished they could get the fight over and done with so that they could leave. “By the way, I'm curious about something.” As the fight reached the boiling point, Philip turned to the black shadow curiously. The black shadow was taken aback by Philip’s sudden remark. “What are you curious about?” The black shadow wanted to buy some time. It was just a step away from forming a solid entity, which could improve its strength significantly. Philip would have to think twice about dealing with it by then. Thus, the black shadow was excited that Philip wanted to chat with it. “How did you make that mysterious old man convey the news?” According to most people, they found out about
The black shadow gained strength by devouring other people’s flesh and blood. Philip knew that he might be no match for the black shadow once it devoured everyone present. After going through all the trouble, it would not let all its efforts go to waste. Philip's appearance had ruined its plan. It would probably go crazy if it could not devour these people. “No one can stop me today. So what if you’re strong? I don't believe you can save everyone!” After saying this, the black energy rushed to the merfolk. The merfolk ran to Philip in a panic, hoping that Philip could protect them. “Lyle,” Philip said. Philip was exasperated by these stupid merfolk. Lyle rushed forward and attacked the black energy. Back then, Philip had given them sachets to ward off evil energy. Lyle had a sudden idea and hurled a sachet at the black shadow. It was just an experiment, but it worked. After sensing the powder in Philip's sachet, the black energy shrank back and stopped moving as if it h
