Interesting. This Chester Ludwig was not bad. He was very crafty. Seeing all those people gathered around, the man began to have more confidence. He straightened his back while saying to Philip, “Young Master Clarke, why don’t we do this? You go back first and I’ll let the men conduct a thorough search of this place. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely find your daughter.” After Chester finished speaking, he sneered inwardly. If Philip Clarke could go with the flow, so could he. No matter what, he was also one of the 11 people carefully selected by the lord to join the Gentleman Court. He was not that stupid father and son duo of the Wes family! Nigel frowned when he saw the commotion. His face was cold as he whispered in Philip’s ear, “Young Master Clarke, it seems that Chester has arranged for a lot of manpower in Cloudside. I’ve never seen these people before. They must have snuck in under disguise.” Philip nodded as he looked at the people around Chester. They did not seem like
“This plan of yours is not too bad.” Philip said coldly. The killing intent in his eyes could no longer be suppressed! Chester did not speak. His face was illuminated brightly under the headlights and a hideous sneer could be seen. “Nigel!” Philip barked out. “Yes!” Nigel answered. “Tonight, lock the city down! Only allow entry but nobody can exit! I want to see how many monsters will come to Cloudside tonight!” Philip said angrily. This roar soared straight to the clouds and was particularly pervasive on this dark night! Hearing Philip’s order, Chester finally could no longer hold back. He glared at the other party and asked, “Young Master Clarke, do you really want to do this? As long as I can't leave Cloudside within an hour, the four areas at the borders will riot. By then, lives will be lost and you’ll carry a charge that you can never wash away in this lifetime!” The four regions were facing upheaval and lives were in danger. At that time, the chain reaction that
Here he was! With monstrous rage, Philip walked step by step toward him! This was what Chester felt. From the crowd, he could feel the threat from hell that flowed from Philip. The man was full of rampant killing intent! Frigid! That demeanor and that gaze… It was like the devil himself! With just one glance, Chester felt his soul tremble! He wanted to run! Yes, run! Even with so many death warriors, Chester’s heart still surged with extreme fear! Especially when he saw Nigel’s subordinates fighting with the death warriors like crazy! Even if the death warriors were powerful, they could not withstand being under siege! At the brief moment when Chester hesitated, Philip had already passed through the crowd and walked up to him. “You... What do you want? I’m Chester Ludwig, one of the 11 members of the Gentleman Court. Behind me, there’s the lord… Lord…” Chester hissed, but before he could finish speaking, Philip had already made a move. He grabbed Chester by th
Hehe. Chester laughed miserably and said, “Family? Haha, I sent them to Country M a long time ago. You can’t threaten me! Now, I'll give you one region in exchange for my little daughter!” However, just as he said that, Chester saw a few people walking out from behind the crowd again. A woman in a black trench coat was holding a seven or eight-year-old boy while also supporting a blind old woman by her side. “Honey, Son, Mom? You... Didn’t you go to Country M? Why are you here? Why?!” Chester was going crazy. It was his family in front of him, his weakness! Although he could betray even his biological brother, he was exceptionally good to his wife, children, and mother! He looked at Philip with red eyes and shouted, “Let my family go or I’ll order the regions to act right away!” Philip shook his head and said, “Chester, it’s not your turn to be talking terms with me now. I should be the one talking terms with you, understand?” This sentence stunned Chester. He looke
The branch Clarke family went to Uppercreek to make demands! When Philip heard this, his face turned dark instantly and he said coldly, “Stop them for me. Whoever dares to take my wife away, kill them without mercy!” Victor quickly said, “Yes, Young Master Clarke!” After that, he asked again, “Young Master Clarke, is the young miss alright?” Philip nodded in response and said, “She’s fine. I’ll return soon.” After ending the call, Philip’s eyes were extremely cold and he said to Nigel, who was standing beside him respectfully, “Send me back to Uppercreek.” Nigel was startled and said, “Young Master Clarke, is it so urgent? Why don’t you stay another couple of days? I can show you around Cloudside.” Philip shook his head and said, “I can’t make it. Something has happened in Uppercreek.” After saying that, Philip thought of something and shouted into the air, “Where’s the Shadow Squadron?” Swoosh! As soon as he said that, two mysterious figures appeared in the main ha
“Men, pass my orders. Starting today, Cloudside will strictly investigate all forces and dig out any foreign forces that are lurking in Cloudside! Also, all jade shops and jade quarries are to stop business operations for a month!” Nigel shouted. Not long after Philip left, all forces lurking in Cloudside received a definite answer. For example, Giada Wallis, who had left Arcadia Island and returned to Cirrus Villa in Riverdale, had a subordinate report to her at this moment. “Madam Wallis, according to confirmed sources, Philip has left Cloudside and Chester Ludwig of the Gentleman Court has also been taken away. This time, the lord of Gentleman Court made no move to stop it.” Giada was walking in the garden with a fluffy white Persian cat in her arms. She had two female bodyguards following behind her. “Okay, I got it,” Giada said, putting the Persian cat in her arms on the ground. Then, she gradually looked puzzled and muttered, “Why didn’t the Gentleman Court make a mov
She held Mila’s little face, looked at it with distress, and said anxiously, “Mila, are you hurt? Do you feel pain anywhere? Let me take you for a check-up.” Mila shook her head, took Wynn’s hand, and wiped her tears sweetly. She said, “Mom, don’t cry. I’m fine. You have a baby in your stomach. You need to rest more.” Hearing such tender words from her daughter, Wynn immediately hugged Mila’s head while crying with great sadness but also with relief. Philip stood silently by the side, a happy smile playing at the corners of his mouth. “Phil, thank you,” Wynn raised her eyebrows and said to Philip. Philip smiled, walked over, and touched his daughter's and Wynn's head. He said, “What’s there to thank?” The family’s brief reunion was filled with happy laughter. As for Lydia Jensen, she rushed here the second she received the news. She pursed her lips and wiped her tears as she looked at Mila. Mila ran over, raised her head, and said to Lydia, “Sister Lydia, don’t cry. I’m
Smack! Suddenly! Philip struck out and swung his arm around. He slapped Kelsey’s pale and tender face! The crisp sound of this slap immediately drew the attention of the passersby at the hospital’s entrance! Kelsey’s eyes widened at once. When he came back to his senses, he pointed at Philip hysterically and shouted, “How dare you hit me? I'm the third young master of the branch family! This time, I’m here to represent the branch family and my father! You’re simply too arrogant!” However, Philip just flexed his hand lightly, while Kelsey took two steps back in fright. He said grimly, “Kelsey, I’m educating you on behalf of your father. You’re simply too ill-mannered. What should you do when you see the heir of the main Clarke family?” This… Kelsey was immediately flustered. The Clarke family had rules. When they saw the heir of the Clarke family, those of the same generation must bow and salute. I went without saying that they could not speak rudely to them. Otherwise
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
