He had to figure out what kind of existence the Alliance was. Philip squeezed his fists bitterly, ready to get up and leave. However, at this time, Sheryl said, “Philip, the Nonagon is not as simple as you think. You have to be prepared. Moreover, according to what I’ve heard, Nonagon has selected more candidates nationwide than in the past this time. Their actions show their urgency. I think there must be a problem and they’re eager to solve it.” After hearing this, Philip said, “Thank you.” Then, he left this place. After a while, Butler Kent walked in and bowed to Sheryl who was drinking coffee. He said, “Miss, he has left.” Sheryl’s expression was bland with a trace of uncertainty in her eyes as she asked, “Butler Kent, do you think it’s right for me to do this?” Butler Kent smiled slightly and said, “Miss, there’s no right or wrong decision. As long as it’s your decision, the Larson family will execute it.” “Really?” Sheryl pursed her lips suddenly and said, “I j
Back to Philip. He returned to the hotel and found that Wynn had fallen asleep. Thus, he sat on the sofa, took out the two phoenix feather pendants, and started studying them. The fiery red phoenix feather pendants had obscure and incomprehensible patterns on them. From the looks of it, they both really were just jade pendants. Nothing unusual could be seen from them. What kind of existence was the door? What role did the Nonagon play, and was his mother’s accident related to the Nonagon? Philip was skeptical. Originally, he had targeted the former supreme, but now, it seemed that the stakes were more complicated than he imagined! Was there something deeper going on between the former supreme and the Nonagon? Philip sat on the sofa and looked at the pendants for a while. Then, a gentle voice sounded behind him. A tender hand pressed on his shoulder and the woman asked gently, “What's wrong? What are you thinking about?” Philip touched the small hand on his shoulder, loo
Damn it! Was Philip Clarke making fun of him? Then, Philip’s next sentence made Kelsey even more ashamed. Philip put his hands in his trouser pockets and said nonchalantly, “Kelsey Clarke, have you forgotten how I beat you up yesterday?” As soon as he said that, everyone on Victor’s side laughed. This made Kelsey very embarrassed. His face darkened and he gritted his teeth with hatred. While pointing at Philip angrily, he said, “Philip, stop being so arrogant! I’m not here today to compete with you on numbers. Hurry up and release them! Otherwise, I’ll bring my people and barge in. At that time, anything that happens will be your responsibility! Besides, I’m representing my father today. Listen carefully, it’s my father, the chieftain of the branch family, giving you a final warning to release my family members!” Kelsey was upset, especially when those people opposite laughed at him. It made him even more upset! He was the young master of the branch family, after all. Whe
Kelsey was taken aback. When he saw Philip's seemingly murderous gaze, he felt uncomfortable all over as if he was being stared at by a fierce beast. His heart jumped wildly and he could not help but take a few steps back. He was stammering as he shouted, “You... What do you want to do? I’m telling you, Philip, I’m representing my father this time. Listen carefully. This is my father’s ultimatum to you. Release them at once! Otherwise, my father will personally come to Uppercreek! By then, you’ll be done for!” Kelsey was not telling lies. This was indeed what his father had told him. If Philip did not release them, the chieftain would come to Uppercreek in person! By then, the entire city would be under martial law! In front of the chieftain of the branch family, even Philip would have to bow and pay his respects! Philip frowned when he heard this. With a face full of dissatisfaction, he pondered. Would the chieftain of the branch family come to Uppercreek in person? Se
The damned law enforcement hall had been colluding with the branch family! “How about it, Philip? I'm asking you once again, will you let them go?” Kelsey was floating on air right now. He was full of confidence. He had his father and the law enforcement hall behind him. No matter how powerful Philip was, he would not dare to openly oppose the joint order from the six elders of the law enforcement hall! Philip’s face was gloomy as he glanced at the arrogant Kelsey. Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he said, “Kelsey, do you think that such a thing can make me toe the line?” After that, Philip crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into a nearby trash can! Kelsey froze, completely unable to believe Philip’s audacity! “Insolence! That’s the joint order of the law enforcement hall. You actually dare to be so lawless and audacious! You’re openly opposing the law enforcement hall of the Clarke family! I have the right to take you down right now!”
The Sovereignty Seal?! The guards of the branch family were all dumbfounded when they saw the jade ring on Philip’s thumb! All of them were trembling with their eyes wide open! Instantly, these guards respectfully knelt on one knee and shouted in unison, “Young Master Clarke!” However, Kelsey still did not understand what was going on and still shouted behind everyone, “F*ck! Why are you kneeling? Charge over, I say! All of you are rubbish!” He suddenly raised his head and stared at Philip with flushed eyes. He was just about to chastise when his eyes fell on the jade ring on Philip’s thumb. He immediately went mute and the anger that welled in his throat was being swallowed down! Was that the freaking Sovereignty Seal? Kelsey was flustered as his legs went weak. How was he supposed to play this game now? At this time, Philip's face was indifferent. With a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, he looked at the flustered and trembling Kelsey, asking, “Now, what do yo
Kelsey quickly nodded and said, “Of course, I do. I’ll say I screwed things up and didn’t even see you.” “No!” Philip abruptly said, “Just tell them the truth. Furthermore, you have to tell the branch family and the law enforcement hall how I beat you up and how I opposed the law enforcement hall.” “Cousin, what do you mean by that?” This time, it was Kelsey’s turn to wonder. Was this not putting him up on the chopping board? By doing this, Philip was just seeking his own death. If he returned and told his father and the law enforcement hall about this, Philip would be dead for sure. Was this guy out of his mind? Of course, if Philip was willing to do so, Kelsey could not be happier! The shame he suffered today would be returned tenfold! Philip glanced at him and said, “You don’t have to know what I mean. Just do as I said.” Kelsey dared not resist and just nodded, saying, “Okay, I understand.” After that, Philip waved his hand and shouted, “All of you can get los
A cold sneer. Philip looked at Allen and the others like he was looking at a bunch of idiots, a faint coldness flowing from his eyes. “Save? Why do I need saving?” Allen was furious. He pointed at Philip and shouted, “You’re simply outrageous! Are you planning to fight the branch family to the end? Philip, I’m telling you, the branch family will get you back for what happened today ten times over!” Philip laughed uproariously at that, and his laughter caused Connor, Allen, and Levi to feel chills and goosebumps all over their bodies. What did Philip mean by this? Was he really not afraid of the branch family at all? “Ten times over?” Philip said coldly, “Very well, Allen Clarke. I’ll remember your words. Back then, I said that I wanted your lineage to disappear from Arcadia Island forever. I’ll hold true to my words!” When Allen heard this and saw Philip’s grim face, he felt a chill in his heart! What was this kid going to do? Was he really going to drive his line
No one thought highly of Moray, and they did not even know what level he was at, but they knew he was not that strong or he would not have ended up in this miserable state. The stone man waved his hand calmly, and Moray fell to the ground, gasping heavily with fear in his eyes. Moray thought he could easily take the stone man down with that sneak attack, but he was sorely mistaken. The stone man was much stronger than he imagined. “I hate sneak attacks the most. Since you think so highly of yourself, go to hell.” The stone man engulfed Moray in the black energy, and Moray died before he could do anything. Philip watched the scene indifferently without taking it to heart at all. Moray’s death had nothing to do with him. The merfolk were in disbelief. They watched the scene with conflicted emotions but had to accept reality in the end. After going through so much, they were disappointed in Moray and had long wanted to leave him. Now that he was dead, they could finally choo
The stone man fell silent at Philip’s remark. He felt as if Philip was staring at his stone core and could rip him apart at any second. More importantly, he was different from ordinary practitioners of other races. He would die once he lost his stone core, and he could forget about taking over another person’s body to resurrect again. He simply wanted to become stronger, not look for trouble. “H-How did you know?” His eyes flashed with fear, clearly scared. Many people around heard Philip’s remark. They looked at the stone man thoughtfully. Since Philip was here, the stone man could not do much. In that case, they could find a way to kill the stone man. They could leave once they get the so-called stone core from the stone man. “Philip, do you mean we can leave once we get that stone core?” Lyle asked thoughtfully. He was curious because this was the first time he had heard of the stone core. Philip nodded. That was indeed the case. Suddenly, Moray, the merfolk chief, spr
“How can we leave this place?” Philip looked around but found no exit. The arrogant stone man had to tell them or no one could leave. Hearing that crucial question, everyone pricked up their ears expectantly. They could not wait to find the way out. The stone man sneered at Philip’s reaction. “Do you want to leave? Forget it. Maybe I can destroy the barrier and take you out if my strength improves, but I can’t do it at my current level. “My initial plan was to kill all of you and level up. By that time, all your flesh and blood will be part of me, so me leaving is the same as you leaving.” Philip frowned when he heard about the barrier. He closed his eyes and observed his surroundings. Sure enough, something was blocking his senses. The stone man noticed Philip’s reaction. He smiled smugly as if he had Philip in his grasp. The stone man always felt that Philip was a force to be reckoned with. On top of that, Philip was very smart. He had to know some secrets that he did n
Philip could not read their minds, but he was not interested in their opinions anyway. After all, they were nothing in his eyes. “Philip, you’re finally back. Where did that guy take you? Were you trapped in some secret realm?” When Philip appeared, Aslan approached him and handed some roasted meat to him. Aslan did many things in the last six hours, including grilling several rounds of meat. Philip took the food and glanced at Aslan. “I found a good training ground, and all of you can’t escape from that place. Get ready to be tortured.” He smiled as he took a bite of meat. Only he and Rabbit knew how dangerous that place was. Although it was no big deal for Philip, it would be a nightmare for ordinary practitioners. Aslan patted his chest confidently, not afraid at all. “What matters is your safe return. As for us, we can do anything. That guy threatened to eat us if you didn’t return in six hours!” Aslan told Philip everything that happened while he was away, and some
Although Rabbit was afraid, he felt Philip’s anger. As creatures of flesh and blood, this scene was so shocking that anyone would want to tear the murderer into pieces. More importantly, the corpses looked similar to humans, so Philip empathized with them. Apart from the ears that looked different from humans, the rest were similar. Philip went up along the river and soon heard someone talking. He saw several burly guys chatting. Although they were of different races, he could understand what they were saying. “Where did you come from?” The burly guys looked at Philip in confusion. They thought they had killed everyone, but another one popped up. However, they quickly noticed the difference between Philip and those people. He was not one of them. “Did you kill all these people?” Philip did not answer the question but asked in puzzlement. These people reeked of blood. They were obviously the murderers, but Philip wanted to hear it from them. The guys laughed arrogantly
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
