This castle built in the last century was closely guarded. As far as the eye could see, the place was full of foreign bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses! In the castle, dozens of luxury cars, sports cars, and even a mini-helicopter were parked! About a hundred male and female servants were responsible for the upkeep of the castle. At this time, in the huge hall of the castle, there was a silhouette of a tall and graceful woman wearing a long trench coat. From her back, it could be seen that she had an S-shaped figure. She was simply perfect and flawless! Her arms were crossed over her chest at this time. With her back facing the group of elite bodyguards, she tapped the phone repeatedly with her delicate hand. “Clean everything up. Don’t leave any clues behind.” The figure said in a cold and aloof manner before turning around and leaving on her high heels. A man in the hall bowed in response before taking his phone out. He dialed a number and said coldly, “Clean ev
The chill on Roger’s face gradually disappeared and was replaced with excitement. A smile also slowly formed as he mumbled to himself, “Premature birth?” Fulton looked up and said, “She’s in the operating room now.” Roger nodded, looking a little flustered. He started to pace back and forth in the hall unconsciously. It was also the first time Fulton had seen his lord in this state and said, “My lord, do you need me to send the Clarke family’s personal guards to guard Uppercreek?” Roger was startled as his aged hands trembled slightly. He said, “Pass on my order. Dispatch 1,000 Dragon Knights from the Clarke family’s guards to Uppercreek. Also, send all members of the Shadow Squadron to welcome the young master, young madam, my granddaughter, and my grandson back to the island! Anyone who dares to stop them, kill without mercy!” Fulton got the order and turned to leave. Roger added, “Pass another order. Three days later, the Clarke family will hold a banquet for ten days. S
When Philip heard this, he was so scared that his knees went weak and he almost stumbled onto the floor. Wynn Johnston had always been virtuous, generous, and soft-spoken. Did having a baby expose her true nature of… being a red-hot chili pepper? Without delay, Philip rushed into the operating room. He trotted to the operating table and tightly held Wynn’s frantically waving hands. His heart ached for her! Wynn was drenched in a cold sweat at this moment. It was all because of the pain! Her whole face was distorted from the pain as she screamed herself hoarse! “Ah! Argh!” Wynn screamed, looked sideways at Philip, and exclaimed, “I’ll never have another baby with you again. It hurts too much! This son of yours, why isn’t he out yet?” Philip held Wynn’s hand tightly, constantly encouraging and comforting her as he said, “Wynnie, keep it up. We won’t have another one again.” Philip felt very distressed but he could not do anything now. It was not this difficult when
After that, Victor said, “Mr. Clarke, I’ve brought back the clues and evidence from the scene of the accident. Do you want to look at them now?” Upon hearing this, Philip frowned as he reached out to take the folder handed over by Victor. Opening the document, the investigation data inside was fresh from the oven. Philip glanced at it and found no valuable clues. In short, it was a premeditated murder attempt. There were no clues left at the scene. The driver of the truck was also an innocent party. The vehicle lost control due to human tampering. After cross-examination, the driver was not under suspicion. When Philip saw this information, a wave of chills swept over him. He asked Victor, “Did you find anything else?” Victor shook his head and said, “No, according to the contacts I have on patrol there, they said that after you and Madam left, several special international patrol vehicles arrived. This case has been taken over by the special international patrol organiz
On this side, Tim ended the call. Then, with a chill on his face, he turned to the bodyguard behind him and ordered, “Pass on my order immediately to mobilize 500 Dragon Knights to enter Sendona at top speed. Surround all the properties belonging to the Rothschild family, including all castles, manors, villas, and mansions! Don’t leave even one out! I want to see if Oliver wants to die!” The sturdy bodyguard bowed after hearing the order and said, “Second Master, I’m afraid we can’t mobilize 500 Dragon Knights. We just received the notice that 1,000 Dragon Knights have been drafted to go to Uppercreek by the order of the patriarch.” Tim frowned and said, “In that case, send the Tiger Knights, as many as possible! I want to see who gave the Rothschild family the guts to make a move against the young madam and the little grandchild of the Clarke family!” Tim Clarke was livid! The Clarke family had been silent for too long. It had been a long time since they displayed their terrif
There seemed to be a hint of depression in the air. Everyone’s heart seemed to be weighed down by a huge boulder with a timer. Mila struggled to get down from Lydia’s arms and ran to Philip who stood in front of the operating room door. She was constantly looking around. She tugged at his pants, handed her lollipop to Philip, and said with a cute smile, “Dad, eat some candy. Mom will be fine.” Philip looked down at his daughter and bent over to pick her up. He forced a smile, bopped her on the nose, and said, “Yeah, Mom will be fine.” Despite saying that, Philip had a bad premonition. That was because Wynn had not been out after so long. The entire long corridor was silent. Everyone dared not make a sound. At this time, a group of people hurried over from the door. It was Theo Zander with Charles Johnston and Martha Yates. Charles was supporting Martha. She could now stand up and walk, but she could not run, let alone walk for a long time. Thus, Martha shuffled along sl
Philip did not refute Martha but merely stood there silently. Martha was very angry and broke away from the crowd. She rushed over, slapped Philip, tugged at his clothes, and cursed, “Do you still have the nerve to stand here? Get lost, go away! Take that unlucky son of yours and get lost!” Martha was furious! Her daughter who was in good condition before suffered from hemorrhage just from giving birth! If anything happened to Wynn, how would Martha live in the future? She still wanted to live a good life by relying on Wynn! Moreover, people from the Lovelace family had come looking for her. They said that they would give her 100 million for Wynn to be acknowledged by the Lovelace family. Martha was moved at that time, but she refused after thinking about it and even had a big fight with the other party. She was not so wicked to that extent. At this moment, everyone gasped when they saw Martha slapping Philip! This mother-in-law was a little reckless. This was mai
On the way here, Martha had thought about it carefully. Wynn had given birth to a son. At any rate, they could reap a fortune from Philip, right? Now, Wynn was hemorrhaging and undergoing emergency rescue. Who could predict what would happen after this? She coughed and said unabashedly, “If my daughter is gone, all the assets under your name will belong to the Johnston family! As for Beacon Group, don’t you even think of touching a penny! It belongs to my daughter. Don’t think of taking advantage of the situation!” Martha had made clear calculations. If something really happened to Wynn, Philip would naturally inherit everything as her spouse. The company as well as everything else would belong to him. Martha Yates was not stupid. She must make an agreement now! Hearing this, Philip frowned deeply as he clenched his fists tightly. His entire body exuded a chill! He did not expect that at this point, Martha would still be thinking of her daughter’s fortune! Abominable!
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
“I won’t be joining your guild, but I don’t mind being a spectator. At least I can watch the fun. I know that you’re quite strong, so you don’t need me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I don’t think you’ll face a problem.” Philip smiled indifferently, quite confident that nothing much would happen. The overall strength of the Celestial Palace had improved significantly, so they really had nothing to worry about. Jamie was relieved to hear that. In that case, he could rest assured.… The guild competition officially kicked off, and everyone was ready to battle it out. The battles were not something that simply required strength to resolve. Occasionally, the competitors required tactics too. As Alain was feeling anxious, his reinforcement finally arrived at the scene. The hooded man turned up with some potions, ready to carry out his task. “Hey, you’re finally here. I thought I wouldn’t see you again.” Alain was worried. He knew that he was in a precarious situati
“Father, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!” Hogster sat by Alain’s bedside and asked in a panic. Hogster would not have been worried about Alain in the past, but things were different now. They were facing various crises. Without his father to take care of things, they would be doomed. Alain coughed violently and fumbled around for some healing pills before stuffing them into his mouth. The pills were not useful for his injuries but could at least relieve his pain. After Alain took the pills, Hogster hugged him excitedly. “This is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.” Alain almost died in anger over his son’s remark. “Hogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. You’ll make a name for yourself if you do this.” Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, “Father, although I’m quite strong, you can’t do this to me! How am I suppose
The rabbit had a very expressive face as if it was watching Alain make a fool of himself. “You’re quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, let’s hear them.” Hay dangled from Rabbit's mouth, and he seemed disdainful. Alain seemed conflicted at the sight of Rabbit and felt like he was looking at Philip instead. “Why are you here?” This rabbit was weird, and no one could control it. As far as Alain knew, the rabbit was famous in major cities and good at picking fights. “Of course, I’m here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?” After saying this, Rabbit jumped up and kicked Alain, who started spitting mouthfuls of blood. Alain was strong in his own right, so there was no way he would be helpless against an attack. However, he simply could not resist Rabbit and could only suffer a beating. The guild members in the surroundings closed their eyes, feeling sorry for their guild leader. No one thought they could win th
It seemed that Alain had overestimated his importance. “Hey, wait a minute. Don't be so hasty. I just want to think about how to make things better. You should know that things are not as simple as you think. If I agree so easily, others might target me.” The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alain’s flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. “I thought you wouldn’t consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.” The hooded man smiled calmly as if mocking Alain from the bottom of his heart. Although Alain was being ridiculed, he could not say a word. The hooded man held the reins, so Alain had no choice but to obey. “I don’t mind this cooperation, but we need to plan this thoroughly. If you can help my guild to make a comeback in this competition, I can agree to your condition. Since you found me, you should know the trouble my guild is facing right now. Philip and his people are messing with us, and the Celestial Palace is keepi
Alain was a smart man and quickly grasped the key point. It seemed that this man was here to help him. “Tell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If you’re here to help me, let’s have an open discussion.” Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. “I know that your guild is facing a crisis. I can help you with that. I can get rid of all your problems and also ensure that your guild scores victory. Although I can't guarantee that you’ll win the championship, taking one of the top spots won’t be a problem.” The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this man’s offer to help him. At a moment of crisis, it was every man for himself. Right now, no one was willing to help him or lend a helping hand. Alain thought that this was too much of a coincidence. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?” Alain knew that
