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
Philip was dragged to the training ground behind Seed Group. With a clatter, the huge iron gate was pushed open. Saul Seed sat at the innermost area next to dozens of grim-faced thugs, each with steel pipes or baseball bats in their hands. Charles stood to the side and dared not move at all. Martha was still sitting in a wheelchair. Both of them were bruised and swollen, obviously beaten up. Zachary was on crutches, and his right arm was wrapped in bandages that hung from his neck. He was beaten out of the blue last night. The other party had said that it was Philip Clarke who told them to do it! At that time, Zachary was so angry that he spat out blood! Philip Clarke was so good at playing dirty! “Bring him in!” Zachary yelled. The security guards behind heard him and kicked Philip in. Then, the door was closed tightly. Philip coldly glanced at the two security guards next to him. Kicking him would make their lives shorter! “How dare you glare at me when you’
Zachary limped forward on his crutches and patted Philip’s face lightly with his uninjured left hand. “Philip, you’re awesome, aren’t you? You secretly got some people to teach me a lesson, huh? Let me tell you, I’m going to kill you today! Let’s see who in Uppercreek can save you! Don’t think I can’t do it. Do you know what our family does? I’m afraid you’ll piss your pants if I tell you! Today, many of them are armed. If you have the guts, tell Victor Bell to come and save you! Let’s see if he’s willing to die with you!” As Zachary said that, he slapped Philip on the face! The thugs next to him laughed. Seeing that Philip was not fighting back after being slapped, Zachary grew more arrogant and reckless! “Haha, what a wimp! Why aren’t you bragging today? I haven't been humiliated like yesterday since I was a kid! I heard that you have a beautiful wife. I’ll take care of you first, and tonight, I’ll kidnap your wife and sell her to the clubhouse!” Zachary said unscrupulous
“I think she’s right. You have no right to despise her for being ugly! If you have the ability to cure the groom’s disease, you can marry into a wealthy family too! You’re a loser for putting her down because of her looks!” Ronan’s sudden interruption surprised the bride. She never thought that someone would speak up for her in this situation. “Enough with this fiasco. Hurry up and end it!” Lazlo frowned and glanced at the people next to him. He had replaced the useless guards earlier. These people were carefully selected experts. The experts quickly flagged Ronan as a troublemaker and wanted to throw him out. “Let’s call off the wedding for the time being. We didn’t think it through carefully. We’ll decide after careful consideration. Please excuse us,” Lazlo said calmly but he was fuming inside. He knew that this was a disgrace to the family. He had never thought a woman could play him out like that. Lazlo glared daggers at Celeste in front of him. 'I wouldn’t have be
By right, everyone should respect Lazlo, but these people simply wanted to humiliate him instead. Lazlo always took advantage of them during their business dealings, so they wanted to teach him a lesson. For the sake of his dignity, Lazlo could not lose his temper either. “Hehe, the bride is coming!” Lazlo gritted his teeth and asked someone to bring the bride out. Everyone looked around eagerly, waiting to see what this legendary woman looked like. The bride wore a veil on her face, and no one could see her appearance clearly. “The bride is bound by the rules of her race, so she’s not allowed to show her face in public, but you can tell from her figure that she's indeed very beautiful. My daughter-in-law is not to be underestimated!” Lazlo laughed. It was the only option he could think of. Some nosy people created a gust of wind that blew the veil away. Very soon, the woman’s ugly face was revealed to the public. Everyone was dumbfounded by the scene. They gulped nervous
“But she’d be very attractive if she covered her face.” Her figure was very good, but her face was scary. Anyone who saw that face would probably be haunted by nightmares. Philip was curious. The woman could cure the groom’s disease, which proved that she had that ability. In that case, why was she in such a hurry to marry? With an ability like that, she could easily survive on her own. “She caught me red-handed peeking at her. Although it was embarrassing, she was very gentle and didn’t say anything. It’s a pity that I can’t deal with that appearance!” Ronan said awkwardly, ashamed at the thought of being caught red-handed. Philip rolled his eyes helplessly. He was no longer in the mood to watch the fun. Staying there was just a waste of time. He would rather leave. He was not interested in the free meal. Suddenly, they smelled a strange fragrance. Ronan frowned and rubbed his nose. The smell made him feel uncomfortable. “Someone is poisoning us,” Philip said calmly.
Lazlo knew that he would be doomed if he fell into Philip's hands. He decided to run away in a panic, but it did not mean he was going to give up. Celeste was his only hope to regain his dignity, and he would never let her off. “Keep a close eye on the situation. It’s best if you can knock Celeste out and bring her to me,” Lazlo ordered his men before he left. Since his men could not do it openly, they had to resort to some underhanded tricks. Lazlo had more than a team of guards under his command. Although the captain of the guards was no match for Philip, it did not mean that Lazlo was out of options. He had to solve this problem at all costs. Philip had no choice but to take Celeste away. Who knew they would encounter such a mess? “I never knew I was so charming that the guy wants me to marry his son,” Celeste said ironically. To think that something like this would happen to her. The people of her race were so valuable that they could not marry just anyone, let alone
The guards laughed. “No way, does he think he can handle us?” Everyone mocked Philip and did not take him seriously. So what if Philip had powerful abilities? They could easily overwhelm him with numbers. Everyone laughed as they surrounded Philip, and Lazlo smiled smugly. He rarely took action in such things. He simply watched the fun to appease his anger. “Just accept your fate. An ordinary man like you can't possibly fight us,” Lazlo taunted Philip, confident that he had nowhere to escape. When Lazlo was about to capture Celeste, he saw someone flying out. He thought his men had taken action and was surprised by their newfound power. Before he could do anything, he heard wails of agony. “Ouch, it hurts!” “This is too much. You broke my leg!” “Why is this man so powerful? He can fight us all by himself!” When Lazlo heard the screams clearly, he scowled darkly. “What's going on? Are my guards defeated?” he said in horror. Lazlo looked over and saw his guards ly
“It’s your honor that our family has taken a fancy to you. Stop resisting. Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? You must be trying to gain more benefits. As long as you agree to this marriage, I promise that you’ll lead a good life, much better than what you have now!” Lazlo looked at Celeste condescendingly, seeing her as a gold digger. “You’re sick.” Celeste was dumbfounded. Celeste pulled Philip and wanted to leave, but Lazlo had no intention of letting them go. He had finally found a beautiful woman to solve the problem for him. How could he let her go? He had looked around earlier but had not seen anyone as beautiful as Celeste. It would be a privilege to bring a beautiful woman like Celeste out. If Celeste was willing to cooperate, he could hold his head high in front of many people. Thinking of this, he summoned the family's guards. “Hurry up and capture them. Even if you refuse, you have to do it!” Lazlo laughed at this point. “Young lady, you'd better li
Philip winked at Ronan, signaling him to wait while he went in with Celeste to see what was going on. “In that case, my brother and I will see what’s going on,” Celeste said with a sigh. She just wanted to watch the fun. Why was she involved all of a sudden? Philip and Celeste walked in, and Lazlo was surprised to see someone else. However, a look of realization crossed his face after his servant introduced Philip’s identity. “Yes, I was too hasty about this. We should discuss this matter with the family.” He quickly invited everyone inside. After taking a closer look at Celeste's appearance, he nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, this woman was very beautiful and perfect from every angle. She was the best choice for his son. To be frank, even Lazlo was attracted to her. “My son is getting married today, but his bride is very ugly, so I want to use you in place of the bride. After this, you can become my son's concubine,” Lazlo said condescendingly as if Celeste should
At this moment, Celeste looked no different from normal people, and her face was more stunning, capturing everyone’s attention with one glance. Lazlo was excited to see her and knew that she was the woman he had been looking for. Indeed, the bride was very ugly and had a strange appearance. He would never have agreed to the marriage if the woman had not saved his son's life. His son had been seriously ill and bedridden for a long time, almost on the verge of dying. To save his son, he promised that anyone who could save his son could make a request. This woman saved his son and requested to marry into the Cohen family. Although reluctant, big families attached great importance to promises. If they went against their conscience and broke the promise, it would greatly impact their subsequent practice. Hence, Lazlo had no choice but to agree to their marriage. However, to prevent people from talking behind their backs, he appointed some dedicated maids to take care of the ugly
Ronan grabbed the others in fright so that they could stay together. Ronan was a strong guy, after all. With his protection, the others would not be separated by the crowd. Philip looked at this scene and asked the onlookers curiously, “What’s going on? What’s the occasion? Is it a celebration?” Philip had a smile on his face. He thought the atmosphere was quite interesting as if someone was having a celebration. “Don’t you know? It’s the wedding day of the young heir of the Cohen family. I heard that they’ll be serving free spiritual beast meat during the feast. Whether it’s true or not, we want to join the fun. It’s great if the news is true.” “Young man, you must be a visitor from out of town. You’re in luck!” Everyone smiled and walked along excitedly, hoping to spread happiness. Since it was a happy occasion, Philip took the others to join in the fun. As expected, it was very crowded, and everyone sat happily while waiting for the feast to begin. They looked at a lux
