Bang! The floor turned crimson! Kinley fell in a pool of blood. Sidney knelt on the ground, howled desperately, and crawled over. He cried out, “Dad, Dad…” However, immediately after, two bodyguards in black suits walked over and pressed down on Sidney's head before breaking both his legs! They were completely crushed! Sidney would have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair! After doing all this, Philip looked at Sidney indifferently and said, “You reaped what you sowed today. If I didn’t take ruthless actions against you, my daughter would’ve gone through that near-death incident in vain! Sidney Wes, don’t try to seek revenge. You’ll never be able to beat me in this lifetime!” After saying that, Philip turned around and left the hotel. As for the other people who were with the Wes family, they pulled Sidney up as his legs were broken and dragged him straight into the car. They said, “Patriarch, we’ll take you to the Dunley family in Hampton right away! This w
Her voice was clear and crisp with a hint of a sweet-smelling fragrance that tickled the side of his ear and neck. Philip’s expression changed. He turned his head and looked at Rachel unabashedly. A smirk appeared on his lips as he grabbed her tiny waist and said domineeringly, “Are you trying to seduce me? Or did someone tell you to lay a trap on me with your beauty?” This woman, Rachel Clarke, was a vixen indeed. She shrunk back her body and turned around to escape from Philip’s arms. She then chuckled and said, “It’s okay if you think so. I’m just afraid Wynn will be jealous if she finds out.” She giggled as she said that, her eyes gleaming with charm. Philip chuckled and asked lightly, “You came here just to invite me to be alone in a room together with you?” Rachel covered her mouth, smiled softly, and said, “Yes, that’s right. I wonder if you can grant me the pleasure, Young Master Clarke? Tonight, let’s lay ourselves bare and maybe something will happen.” Lay ourselv
Half a day later. Sidney Wes had left Cloudside and was being sent to the Dunley family in Hampton at top speed! In the Dunley family’s mansion which was thousands of square feet big, Sidney was lying on the bed of a room in a separate courtyard. His legs and feet were wrapped with bandages and splints. Several loyal underlings of the Wes family stood guard at the entrance of the room. At this time, a figure approached from a distance while exuding an elegant aura. His hands were behind his back, and he was followed by several maids of the Dunley family. This person looked about 40 years old. He had a pale but smiling face, looking very cordial and easygoing. There were also several guards of the Dunley family at the door. Upon seeing the visitor, they bowed and greeted respectfully, “Master Spencer.” He was the fourth master of the Dunley family, Spencer Dunley. In the Dunley family, he had high prestige, was easy-going and elegant, and had great literary talent. How
Hearing that, Sidney immediately said, “Master Spencer, I beg you, you must avenge my father!” Spencer smiled lightly, looked at the jade pendant in Sidney's hand, and stretched out his hand. Sidney hesitated briefly but still handed the jade pendant to Spencer. It was because he knew that Spencer's fame and prestige were on par with the Dunley family's patriarch. He had the title of ‘little patriarch’ in the Dunley family. Spencer took the jade pendant, glanced at it, and said lightly, “I’ll pass your request to my third brother, but Sidney, do curb your anxiousness. Regarding this matter, my Dunley family will definitely help you to the end. You should take a good rest here. My third brother is on a business trip and will be back in a few days. When the time comes, I’ll bring you to see him.” Since he had already put it this way, no matter how stupid Sidney was, he could still discern the meaning. After being stunned for a moment, Sidney said, “I shall listen to you, Mast
Inside the study, Sterling and Spencer stood together, looking at the sky outside the window. The former stood with his hands behind his back and said with some emotion, “How is the situation in Cloudside?” Spencer stood half a step behind the other party and said, “Things are already clear. This time, barring any accidents, the Gentleman Court will lose a member.” “The Gentleman Court, huh? Even the lord of the alliance has to be apprehensive about them. I didn’t expect that old master to test the Clarke family’s reaction and bottom line at the cost of losing one person,” Sterling said. “We can’t get involved with the Gentleman Court. The Dunley family should sit on the stands and watch the fight from afar,” Spencer said. Sterling nodded before asking, “How are the preparations for the alliance’s chamber of commerce in Hampton?” “It’s almost ready. We can start next month. By then, everyone in the alliance will attend.” Spencer said, “Moses has invited Philip. I wonder if
Philip stood at the door and looked at that wonderful figure with a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth. He took a few steps forward and sat on the fluffy sofa. There was already a glass of red wine on the table, glinting mesmerizingly. Rachel turned around with a charming smile and moved to walk in front of Philip. She deliberately raised her leg high before crossing it as she sat down. She said with a smile, “You’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you for ages.” Her voice was soft and gentle, making people tingle all over. With such beautiful scenery of a charming woman and fine wine, any man would be moved. Philip smiled lightly, a trace of cunningness flashing in his eyes as he asked, “Tell me what’s your purpose of asking me here. It’s late at night. A man and a woman being alone in a room together can be very dangerous.” Rachel giggled alluringly, and her figure also looked seductive. “Young Master Clarke, what’s the matter? Can't we just sit and enjoy the vi
No one spoke for a while. Philip kept his piercing gaze on Rachel. After a while, a faint sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth as he asked, “If you were me and your daughter was kidnapped, sold abroad, and almost met with an accident, what would you do?” Rachel’s expression changed as she started explaining, “Chester was wrong in this matter. The lord has also criticized him for this. If you still feel angry about it, you can state your conditions for you to spare him.” Hehe. Philip sneered, got up, and walked to the French window. He looked at the black business cars parked on the dark street outside. Then, he said, “If I refuse, will those people you’ve arranged below rush in and take me down?” Hearing this, Rachel’s heart lurched and she felt beads of cold sweat seeping on her forehead. The temperature in the room also dropped suddenly. “Oh, Young Master Clarke, you’re really good at joking.” Rachel forced out the words after a long while. Philip did not laugh
As soon as these words were spoken, Rachel's face instantly became very unpleasant. She stared fixedly at Philip with her almond-shaped eyes and asked, “Are you really not going to spare Chester?”Philip did not need to answer. His silence was already an answer. Rachel’s eyes froze as a glint flashed across them. She said, “Everyone, come in!” Bang! The door to the suite was pushed open and instantly, a dozen thugs in black suits rushed in. All of them looked ferocious. “Philip Clarke, don't say I didn't give you a chance. Tonight, as long as you promise not to do anything to Chester Ludwig, I can let you go!” Rachel said coldly with her arms across her chest, her face showing a hint of warning. Philip looked very calm. He glanced at the dozen or so thugs behind her as a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said, “Do you really think you can make me change my mind with just these people? You’re underestimating me.” As he said that! Biff, bang! At the d
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
