Walton’s face instantly darkened as he gritted his teeth and said coldly, “Young Master Clarke, since you’re putting it that way, then the Seed family really wants to see what means you have.” Philip laughed and was about to make a move when Wilbur, who was standing at the side, said lightly, “Young Master Clarke, can you spare the Seed family on my account? There’s a special auction party at Le Reverie tonight. Can I invite you to attend?” Philip turned his head and scrutinized the cold demeanor of Wilbur Ellis. He could not see through this person at first glance. He was an interesting character. After thinking about it, Philip smiled and said, “Okay, I'll let the Seed family go for your sake.” “Haha, thank you then, Young Master Clarke. This way please.” Wilbur made a gesture of invitation. Philip walked forward, followed by Victor behind him. From the beginning to the end, he did not pay attention to Walton and Zachary who stood sullenly on the side. Philip could no
As soon as Kelsey said that, the great figures sitting at the jade onyx round table in this glorious side hall also cast strange glances at Philip. Most of them only took a second glance before they stopped paying attention. It was because all those who could sit here were powerful and remarkable people. Everyone had their pride and ego. Even Kelsey had to behave properly here. It was not that the Clarke family was not as good as them, but keeping a low profile was the only key to survival here. Moreover, most people knew Kelsey’s identity. They were courteous on the surface just to show some respect. They were here for the auction. When the bidding started, that would be when the competition really began. It was much more cultured than having a real fight. Wilbur invited Philip to step into the side hall. Victor followed closely but he was stopped by the bodyguards at the sides. Within three meters of the round table was a circle of black-suited bodyguards who were g
Immediately after, a woman in a red dress walked gracefully to Wilbur’s side while holding a document with both hands. Wilbur took the document from the woman's hand, picked up the pen, wrote in a flourish, and said to everyone, “From now on, Young Master Clarke is one of the core members of Le Reverie. This is the membership agreement. I believe everyone can see it.” Hearing this, everyone's faces darkened and their eyes fell on the indifferent Philip with a little more suspicion and hostility. Who on earth was this kid to make Wilbur take him so seriously? In the past, one had to go through various assessments to get Le Reverie’s membership. Now, for this kid, Wilbur just signed the documents on the spot. “Haha, since you’re already a member, there’s nothing else to say. Young Master Clarke, I look forward to having a good time with you.” Several people displayed friendly attitudes to Philip at this moment. Philip also greeted them one by one. “Thank you.” However,
From the moment they came in, the atmosphere in the whole hall became extremely tense! In the hall, many bodyguards of the prominent figures stood up at this moment, staring at the group of foreigners fiercely. The bodyguards of Le Reverie also stood on alert. At the round table, many people’s faces turned unpleasant and hostile when they saw the group of people who had barged in. “Oh, Calw, this is Le Reverie! We’re not in the West, much less the domain of the Hall of the Underworld!” Sigmund Steele spoke at this moment with hatred in his eyes. Calw, the Sacred Hall of the West? Philip frowned, and his gaze instantly fell on Calw. The words and actions of this guy revealed arrogance and high-handedness! Was he that envoy of the Hall of the Underworld? After Sigmund finished saying this, Calw stood with his hands behind his back and laughed. With a pair of menacing blue eyes, he stared at Sigmund and said, “Patriarch Steele, I just took some business away from you. Is
For a while, the atmosphere in the room was tense! However, Calw seemed unwilling to talk to these people. He pulled on his suit and tie, saying proudly, “People like you dare to compare yourselves to the Hall of the Underworld? Even the most powerful hidden families in your territory are beneath my hall. As for you all, you’re nothing but rich families from small districts or cities.” After that, Calw turned his head and said to Philip coldly, “I’m still going to say the same thing to you. Cancel your date with Miss Larson.” The pressure was overwhelming! Calw had long had his eye on this daughter of the Larson family. At his words, the four foreign bodyguards he had brought with him pressed their hands to their waists as if they were ready to fight! However, Philip stood up calmly at this time, picked up a crystal ashtray on the table, and weighed it in his hand. Exhaled heavily, he then said, “I didn’t want to get into a feud with the Hall of the Underworld so soon, but
When Calw heard this, his face instantly turned dark. He took the towel from the waiter, covered his forehead, and stared fiercely at Wilbur and Philip. He said angrily, “Wilbur, do you think I’ll be intimidated by just a few words from you? Are you trying to fool me into thinking you have a great plan when you don’t have one?” Wilbur chuckled. Everyone here was also taken aback before they started laughing. Calw was really funny. Wilbur smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you to know about war strategies, Mr. Calw. It’s a pity that you’ve got it all wrong. This is not an empty threat.” His words were filled with chills! In an instant, team after team of bodyguards rushed in from the entrance of this magnificent side hall. They were all the most powerful bodyguards in Le Reverie. They would only appear if there was an emergency. Stomps resounded throughout the entire underground floor! Even those who were enjoying the entertainment in the outer hall were startled by this
“F*ck off,” Philip said calmly. His voice was not loud, and one could hear a pin drop. The entire side hall quietened down instantly! Hiss! Everyone gasped! Outrageous! This Philip Clarke was simply too audacious! He dared to say these two words to Calw, an envoy from the 12 Sacred Halls of the West. He was from the Hall of the Underworld that was now in the limelight! It was enough to show Philip’s courage! Many people changed their opinion about Philip at this moment. His courage was commendable. However, Kelsey Clarke sneered inwardly. Was this damned Philip Clarke trying to show off in front of others again? F*ck! After hearing the two words uttered by Philip, Calw’s face instantly changed as he roared, “Arrogant fellow! I’m Calw, the holy envoy of the Hall of the Underworld! Insulting me is insulting the Hall of the Underworld! Lord Hades won’t let you off!” Furious! Calw was really angry! However, Philip shrugged very calmly and said, “Even if the
At this scene, the audience fell into dead silence. It was too shocking! Those people in front of their eyes were all genuine fully armed combatants! At first glance, it was obvious they were fighters who had experienced life and death on the battlefield! The awe-inspiring aura and killing intent filled the entire hall! Everyone was shocked speechless by the scene in front of them! The middle-aged man who took the lead was donned in a military uniform and the golden splendor on his shoulders was so dazzling that they felt surreal! Now that such a person was being so respectful toward Philip, it was simply hard to believe! One could imagine that this Philip Clarke’s identity was truly extraordinary. Philip looked at Mitch and nodded with a hum. “Since you’re here, let’s start.” Hearing that, Mitch turned around. With cold eyes, he stared at the trembling Calw and said indifferently, “Mr. Calw, I'm afraid it's against the rules for people from the Hall of the Underwor
