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
Saul’s white eyebrows twitched as he quickly clapped his hands. Behind him, several bodyguards who had been waiting for a long time instantly rushed out! The other thugs saw that these people were making a move and quickly stepped aside. Several of them were still fighting with Philip and could not get away. They were knocked away by Saul’s bodyguards and instantly flew out. One of them rushed in like a thunderbolt. With a sweep of his leg, he kicked away the thug in front of him who was in the way! This bunch of losers should just get out of the way! The man spun twice in the air and fell to the ground heavily in a dead faint! Philip had long spotted these people behind Saul and knew they were not easy to handle. If three or four of them came over at once, even Philip would not be able to take them down. He could not be on the offensive for long. He must make this a speedy battle by attacking one at a time! The two bodyguards in front, one with an expandable baton and th
Turning around, he saw a foreign special bodyguard! His body was like a chunk of iron, and he had tanned skin. This foreign retired mercenary was unlike these brainless people who only knew how to rush into fights head-on. Since the beginning, he had been lurking around looking for opportunities. He was like a crocodile in the water waiting to catch its prey! This was a true master assassin! He had seen the opportunity, so he grabbed Philip in a flash and immediately tried to break his arm! Philip was taken aback and quickly performed a backflip to defuse the twisting force on his hand. Then, he jumped up to withdraw his hand and retreated to the back. This person was quite capable! Before Philip could react, the foreign bodyguard rushed over and his pair of big iron-like hands grabbed Philip's shoulders. Philip immediately felt a strange force coming from him. He felt the pain in his shoulders from being grabbed and quickly bent down to escape. Although his reactio
“No one ever comes to my place. You must be outsiders.” Celeste was curious, wondering who Philip was. Celeste knew about the four unique races, but Philip’s appearance and form did not fit any of them. “You’re right. I’m an outsider. I wanted to know something, so I came to the forest. It’s best if you can give me an answer. I don’t intend to harm anyone. If you can answer my questions, I’ll leave and remove the curse on you as well,” Philip persuaded her. He felt that the woman was quite sincere, different from what he imagined. In that case, there was no need to make things difficult for her. Besides, he did not feel a murderous vibe in her, so she had probably never done anything bad. Philip had no reason to make things difficult for someone who liked to hide and sing. “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I know, but I don’t really know much. I usually stay in my own territory and have no contact with the outside world. Even the other races don't know of my existence.” Rabbit
Philip felt that there was no problem with his hearing. Someone was humming a song, and the tune sounded very strange and spooky in the dark forest. Rabbit frowned and nodded. He also heard the strange sound and was scared. “Who has nothing better to do but to sing here?” Rabbit nervously grabbed the corner of Philip's clothes, afraid that Philip would leave him behind. Philip shook his head. According to the others, no one would come here for no reason. Due to various dangers in the forest, they would only wander around the edge without seeking trouble in the depths. In that case, the abrupt singing voice was very strange, indeed. “Philip, don't be nervous. Stay calm.” Rabbit's voice was trembling. Although Rabbit kept telling Philip to stay calm, he was already freaking out, so scared that he nearly wanted to run away. Philip knew Rabbit’s character, so he did not comment. He simply observed the surroundings and listened carefully to the sound, which was so ethereal tha
Philip took Puffy along and quickly arrived in a forest where the other races usually hunted, so they should not face any danger here. As soon as Philip left, a woman appeared in the corner and looked in the direction where Philip left with a conflicted look on her face. “Should I follow him?” Ariadna had been left behind in the snake people’s village. She had no friends, and no one paid her any attention. Sometimes, they even displayed their ridicule and disdain for her. She did not get good treatment even though she was a junior from the outside world. In desperation, Ariadna decided to follow Philip. Unexpectedly, she saw Philip with a cute kid the next second. Ariadna was surprised to see that Philip had such a big and cute child. “Wait, that kid looks a little weird.” Due to the distance, Ariadna could not see what the kid looked like, but his color and body shape seemed different from that of normal people. After much deliberation, Ariadna decided to tag along, co
“I’ll look around and find out what’s going on. Don’t worry about me. Look for Ronan if anything crops up.” Philip decided to leave Ronan in charge. Ronan did not object. He knew that Philip wanted to train him. He rarely interacted with others, so he had poor social skills. He had improved with Philip’s help, but his skills were still nothing compared to Philip’s subordinates. He was deeply moved by the opportunity that Philip had given him. “Sure enough, heroes will emerge from the youth. You two will have a bright future!” Wren said excitedly. Philip did not comment. After a few pleasantries, he wandered around with Rabbit. Selma and her people had no time for Philip. They finally found their predecessors, so they had many questions to solve. Philip was most interested in getting to the bottom of this mysterious place. It felt more like a cage designed to trap them. It was devoid of rich energy and other resources suitable for them. What was the purpose of the person b
A woman like Arachne who pursued her own happiness was usually frowned upon. A person who was willing to sacrifice for the family would be recorded in history forever. Weaver patted Ariadna's shoulder expectantly, believing she could carry it out. After all, he did not know what had happened between them earlier. Everything was a big mistake. “I don’t think I can complete this difficult task,” Ariadna said nervously, afraid that Weaver would put too much hope on her. Ariadna knew that Rabbit had a grudge against her. Moreover, some of her actions had offended Philip, who might ignore her because of that. Thinking of this, she wanted to decline the task, but Weaver was very firm about his decision. “As the holy maiden of the family, this task is yours. No one else can do it but you.” Weaver put Ariadna on a high pedestal, so all the pressure fell on her. Weaver left with the others, leaving the poor holy maiden behind. Arachne looked at Ariadna resentfully. The opportunity
“You never considered the consequences when you tried to take advantage of us. We brought them here, and they have the right to choose. Don't think about taking advantage.” Philip nodded at Fitz’s attitude. Sure enough, he liked this earnest man and was happy with his point of view. “If you want something, you need to pay a price for it. As I mentioned, I’m a businessman, so I prefer fair trade. I’m more than happy if you want to discuss a deal with me.” In fact, they had reached an agreement before the spider people arrived. Philip would not help the other three races for free, but he was not bad enough to charge them fees either. However, the spider people were different. Not to mention that Philip had a bad impression of them, but Rabbit’s grudge also remained unavenged. The spider people scowled at Philip’s disrespect, which was simply outrageous. The other races laughed gloatingly. The spider people had always been arrogant and domineering, preventing their developme
“I'm afraid that the snake people will strike a deal with him and monopolize everything.” The old man anxiously led everyone in the direction of the snake people. They could not miss the chance to share a piece of the pie. However, he did not intend to tell his people about it. The other two races no longer existed in the outside world, so it did not matter if they could not leave. It would be best to let their legends fade away in history. That idea was very selfish. Just when he thought he could grab all the benefits by stealth, the snake people shared the information without keeping it a secret. However, the snake people only shared the news with the other two races. They did not have a good impression of the spider people and even had the idea of leaving them behind. When the spider people hurried over, they found a crowd. They saw not only the young ones of the snake people but also those from the other two races. The other two races were the turtles and magpies. Just li
The old man felt annoyed when he saw the two women not getting along. He knew that the holy maidens of the family would face a lot of struggles. Ambitious women would try every means to cause trouble just to destroy the status of the holy maidens. By doing so, they could find ways to replace them. It was an underhanded method but effective. After all, not everyone could cope with the distinguished status of the holy maiden. One mistake could be fatal. Therefore, a holy maiden had to be prideful and flawless, just like an untainted and pure white lotus. The old man nodded thoughtfully. He did not think that Arachne looked like the holy maiden, and his suspicions were confirmed. She was not the holy maiden at all. Actions spoke louder than words. Arachne did not carry a regal bearing, so she would not act like a queen even if she wore a crown. At first, the old man wondered why the spider family would choose someone so unbefitting for the role of the holy maiden. Now that
At this point, an old man walked over. Although they usually maintained their true form, they sometimes took on a human form. Unlike the snake people who did not look very different between the two forms, the spider people looked outrageous in their true forms. “Are you one of the younger generation from outside?” The old man was curious to see the younger children's arrival at this place today. As someone who could not wait to make an impression, Arachne rushed forward and began to introduce herself. In short, Arachne was gradually taking over Ariadna’s position. Although the others were annoyed, they did not say anything because Arachne was really putting in some effort. There was no point in arguing about such things. The most important thing was to remove their curse. The old man was very excited and could not wait to welcome them. “This is wonderful. It has been thousands of years since we saw an outsider!” His eyes gleamed with excitement. “Tell me how you got in,” he
