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
Connor’s face was dark as he said solemnly, “It’s better to be on guard. I can’t see through this brat.” That was right. Until now, Connor still could not see through Philip. He was already more than 80 years old with a lifetime of experience. He had seen all sorts of people and encountered all sorts of situations. However, the only thing that stood in his way was that he could not see through Philip Clarke. After Philip left the suite, a Maybach stopped at the entrance of the hotel as soon as he went outside. An old man stepped down from the car. It was the same Butler Kent who was with Sheryl Larson last night. “Young Master Clarke, this is the information that the young lady asked me to hand over to you.” Butler Kent bowed and respectfully handed the information in his hand to Philip. Philip took the documents, gave them a few glances, and nodded while saying, “Okay.” “I’ll take my leave, then.” Butler Kent turned around and wanted to leave. “Hold on.” Philip sud
The Alliance? How could it be? Was Hannah related to the Alliance? Philip was stunned. He stood in place with a complicated expression and asked, “How much have you found out?” On the other end of the phone, Fennel’s lazy voice turned serious as he said, “Not much yet. This matter is rather tricky to investigate. As you know, my power in the country is not that great. I have restrictions in many areas. However, I can help you inquire about the matters in Country M. As for the Beauty Killers, leave them to me.” Philip nodded and chatted a bit more with him before ending the call. Then, Philip left the hotel. However, at this time, his phone suddenly rang. The caller was actually his father-in-law, Charles Johnston. Why was his father-in-law calling him? After Philip answered the call, he heard Charles hurriedly speaking on the other end. “Philip, come to Seed Group quickly. Your mother-in-law and I have been kidnapped. They specifically said that you must come over!” P
Meanwhile, it was busy at the Hexa Guild. This was the guild Hogster belonged to. The people of the guild were arrogant and never took anyone seriously. Due to limited strength, however, they only bullied weaker guilds and avoided the stronger ones. The powerful guilds were the objects of their pursuit, so they thought the Celestial Palace was in the bag for sure. After all, their young heir was about to marry the Celestial Palace’s young heiress, which would in turn raise the Hexa Guild's status. Thus, they saw themselves as the top guild and felt that they would definitely win the guild competition. The guild leader was jubilant as he waited for the Celestial Palace’s explanation. Since both parties had reached an agreement regarding marriage, the Celestial Palace had breached the contract by letting the young heiress run away, so they had to give the Hexa Guild an explanation. At that time, the Hexa Guild could rip them off by demanding compensation. The guild leader was v
“Hey, you! Go and report this situation to my dad. Tell him to come and save me. I’ll die if he doesn’t hurry!” Hogster kicked the person next to him and told him to seek reinforcements. The others were nervous and did not dare to go out at all. Who knew if someone was keeping an eye on them? What if they encountered a problem after they left? No one wanted to risk their lives for no reason. They were just normal guild members. “I think Neil is the fastest among us. He should go!” “I agree. Neil is very fast. There’ll be no problem with his speed!” “We’ll cover up for him. Neil, make it quick. You have to find someone to save all of us!” Everyone focused their attention on Neil, whose scowl grew bigger by the second. He was shocked by their shamelessness in pushing this job to him. Who knew what would happen if he went out? He would be dead in no time if he bumped into those villains. He gulped at this thought. “I think we should just sit and wait for reinforcements. Thes
More importantly, marriage would make the guilds stronger. Most large guilds would not choose a casual practitioner for marriage. The value of their women had to be stretched to the largest extent. Vanna was no different, but she was lucky to have parents who doted on her, so her occasional wilfulness was overlooked. Vanna would not suffer any repercussions even if she decided on her marriage herself. “That guy is quite powerful. I had to do my best to knock him out. He’s quite talented, but his face looks weird. No wonder he has the confidence to demand marriage.” Rabbit marveled mockingly. After saying that, Rabbit jumped onto Hogster's head provocatively. Hogster and his men had been knocked out, so they could not witness this humiliating scene, but even if they did, they would not have been able to do anything anyway. With Rabbit’s ability, they could only endure it no matter how much they wanted revenge. Their only option was to go back and seek reinforcements or Rabbit wo
Rabbit looked at Hogster’s wounded head smugly. “Oh, I thought you were very strong. So, this is what a member of a strong guild is like. Maybe I thought too highly of you. With that ability, you might as well be a farmer!” Rabbit taunted Hogster. On the other hand, Carlos was shocked. He had heard that this rabbit was very strong, but this was beyond his imagination. Hogster was still in a daze. He clutched his head and glowered at Rabbit. Just as he was about to speak, something big appeared in Rabbit’s hand. He was shocked when he saw the object clearly. It was a huge hammer. It was weird to see a small rabbit holding such a big hammer. Before Hogster could say anything, Rabbit swung the hammer in his face, hitting Hogster so hard that he was dumbfounded. Hogster passed out in shame. Even then, he could not figure out how a rabbit could be so unreasonable and powerful. Suddenly, Carlos became thoughtful, wondering how strong Philip was. Someone who could subdue such a
While Vanna was blaming herself for messing up, she heard a lot of commotion at the door, which attracted her to watch the fun. Unexpectedly, the joke was on her. Vanna recognized the man in front of her due to the irreconcilable conflict between them. Vanna was vexed at the sight of that ugly face. “You’re really persistent, stalking me wherever I go. I’m telling you, I have no interest in you. Stop following me! I’ll never be with you. Besides, I’m married now.” Vanna walked forward and held Ronan’s arm intimately. Hogster scowled at the sight. Vanna was no longer ugly, which proved that he was too late. He was shocked by Vanna’s audacity to be with someone else. It was simply outrageous. “Marriage should be decided by your parents and elders. Both our parents have reached an agreement about our marriage. How could you disobey them? Doing so will only break your parents’ hearts!” Hogster shook his head helplessly. Although Vanna had become someone else's woman, he still wan
Everyone was surprised by the appearance of a talking rabbit, and it was very expressive too. Someone who did not know the situation would think that it was a human! On the way here, they heard some rumors about this rabbit having an amazing storage space. It sounded spectacular, but no one believed it. After all, even people of their status could not get a storage space. How could a mere rabbit own such a legendary treasure? Hence, everyone was surprised to see Rabbit for themselves. “Sir, is that the mysterious and powerful rabbit that was rumored outside? Why don’t we catch it and see if we can find something about it? Even if there’s nothing special about that rabbit, it’s fun to keep a talking rabbit around!” a lapdog said excitedly, clearly very curious about this talking rabbit. “You’re right. Who can refuse a talking rabbit? It’s fun to keep it as entertainment. If I use it to pick up women, I believe more women will fall in love with me!” Hogster was very excited and
Although Carlos was not that concerned about appearance, he was not fond of the idea of Vanna being together with an ugly man either. He wanted Vanna to find bliss too. Hogster was angry at Celeste’s provocation and shocked that someone would turn him down. He had to say that some secular women were ignorant and blind. In his opinion, she ignored him simply because she did not know how powerful he was. Only the women in the guild were smart enough to please him. “Carlos, since I’m here, let’s have a good chat. I plan to take Vanna away!” Hogster looked at Carlos with confidence. Although Carlos was someone he couldn't afford to offend, Hogster had his pride too. As the heir to his guild, his status was noble. Carlos sneered at his arrogance. Hogster expected to take Vanna away with just one remark. He really thought highly of himself. Carlos’ mission was to protect Vanna. He was not concerned about anything else. “Do you think just anyone can take the young heiress of Cel
Ronan frowned when someone kicked the door open. Carlos and his men woke up from their drunken stupor as well and looked around solemnly. In general, practitioners would not get drunk after drinking, but they had not used their energy to neutralize the alcohol earlier. Now that something was happening, they could not remain intoxicated. Everyone stood on guard, wondering what happened. They saw a man kicking the door open. After the man kicked the door open, he appeared in front of everyone smugly. Everyone felt disgusted to see his smug look and was surprised by his ugly appearance. Philip frowned at this person. He was sure that he did not know this guy, but seeing his smug look, he should be the ugly Hogster that everyone was talking about. Carlos had mentioned earlier that Hogster's ugly appearance was so distinct that anyone could recognize him at a glance. He had a very short figure and a ridiculous proportion, like a dwarf with no legs! Philip recognized him at a gla
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you crying?” Hogster picked up the kid angrily. Hogster was never a patient man, so he was even more annoyed by the kid’s defiance. He wanted to teach the kid a lesson for messing with him. “Stop crying. I want to ask you something. If you answer me properly, I’ll leave you alone.” Hogster smacked the kid, leaving him in a daze. The kid had never encountered such a situation before and simply sobbed. “Have you heard anything about an ugly woman? She was supposed to be the bride of the Cohen family, but the marriage was canceled at the last minute.” Hogster glared at the sobbing child in exasperation but he had to ask his questions patiently. After all, the kid looked the easiest to bully among everyone around. The child stopped crying and nodded after hearing him. “Someone took the ugly woman away. They're staying in the small house over there!” He was afraid that Hogster would hit him again, so he blurted everything he knew. The kid always hun
