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!
Smack! The hand was raised and the slap fell. The crisp slap resounded in the hospital corridor! “Martha Yates, you’re not worthy to be a mother! If you dare say another word, I won’t let you speak again for the rest of your life!” Philip roared in anger, his eyes ablaze and his fists clenched. He wanted to tear Martha’s mouth off right now! However, she was Wynn’s mother and Wynn was still in the operating room undergoing emergency rescue. He must bear with it! After that, Philip turned around with his back to everyone. Everyone could feel a hint of coldness and dormant killing intent from his broad and imposing back! This time, Philip was really angry! The calmer it was, the bigger the storm that was coming their way! When the surrounding people saw Philip's decisive move, they felt as if his strike had helped them vent their anger! It felt too good! The repressed mood just now was instantly lifted! It would be best to beat that crazy woman to death! She w
Smack! Martha slapped Charles’ hand away and chastised coldly, “Son-in-law? What kind of son-in-law is he? What has he done for us all these years? Has he ever given us a good life? Take that villa for instance. He probably used the company’s funds to buy it, but he’s guarding against us like he’s guarding against a thief.” Charles sighed and said, “Stop talking so much. He helped us settle the case with Martin and Bernard.” Martha refused to listen and shouted, “Bah! What's the use of that? Martin and Bernard have founded their own company now. Besides, why should I stop talking? At first, I thought that he was just a useless loser. Who knew that he was the young master of a wealthy family and the owner of that Clarke Group in the capital city? So I thought that I could live a rich life from then on, but what happened after that? They went bankrupt and Philip Clarke is still a useless loser! Why didn't he tell us when he wasn't broke? Why still rely on the Johnston family after
At this moment, Martha had been slapped silly by the furious Charles! With her cheeks burning with pain, her eyes flickered with avoidance as she looked at Charles while asking, “What do you mean who he is? Charles Johnston, are you f*cking crazy? How dare you hit me? I’m your wife!” Martha was annoyed. Without a care in the world, she struggled to fight with Charles! Charles was furious. He had never felt that his wife was so unreasonable before. She did not know how to observe her surroundings and the people around her! Smack! He slapped her again, and this slap contained all the frustrations that he had bottled up for half a lifetime! Martha stumbled to the floor from the slap! She covered her mouth. Several teeth with fillings were knocked out at this moment, and blood gushed from her mouth. “Boo-hoo, good for you, Charles. Not only have you turned your back on me but you also dare to hit me. Are you still human? I’ve been with you for decades. I gave birth to your
The nurse looked at Philip and said, “Mr. Clarke, we’re still doing our best.” With that said, she looked at Charles and Martha and said, “What are you waiting for? Go on!” Without hesitation, Charles quickly said, “Okay, I’ll go right now! Take as much as you need!” However, as soon as he said this, Martha quickly grabbed hold of him. She kept making eyes at him as she pulled him aside and whispered, “Charles, are you crazy?” “What do you mean I’m crazy? Why are you pulling me? I need to give blood to our daughter!” Charles could not be bothered to explain to Martha and wanted to go with the nurse. As a result, Martha tugged at him violently, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, “Give blood? Is your blood compatible with Wynn? You must be crazy! If you do this, the secret that we’ve been keeping all these years will be exposed!” Her words were like a hammer to Charles’ heart! He turned to Martha nervously, hesitant to speak. That was right. Wynn was not his biolog
At this time, Cameron and his men returned in the middle of the night. He saw the Claude family members crying as soon as he returned. They were bruised and battered from a beating, looking utterly miserable. Cameron was furious that someone would dare to bully his family members while he was away. “What's going on? Why are you in this state? Did someone cause trouble while I was away?” Cameron was angry and in disbelief, feeling that something was strange. Everyone nodded nervously. “Ronan is here!” The old woman who suffered the worst beating was very upset and glared viciously in Ronan’s direction. “Cameron, although you left me in charge while you were away, I can’t do it anymore. Ronan kept messing with us and even brought some people to beat us up!” The old woman made up stories and described Ronan as an unforgivable evildoer. Cameron scowled, but he could not believe it. “What did you say? Ronan actually hit someone?” He was unwilling to believe it. Although Ronan
Philip took out some fine wine, which was worthless to him but priceless to Ronan. Ronan laughed at Philip’s nonchalance and patted his shoulder. The two of them sat down and started drinking. Rabbit joined in the fun and swallowed the wine in big gulps. Although the alcohol content was a bit high for Rabbit, he enjoyed it happily. They quickly felt slightly tipsy. Although they were practitioners, they did not use any techniques to sober up. It was okay to be a little intoxicated as long as it did not affect them too much. It was rare to find a friend who they could click so well with, so it was a blessing to get drunk together. As they drank happily, the aroma of the wine wafted out. Everyone smelled the fragrance and looked for the source of the scent. They quickly found Ronan's residence and scowled. That smell proved that he had to be drinking good wine in there. “How is he worthy of such fine wine?” “Just a whiff of that wine clears my head, so it has to be good s
Although victory was not confirmed, they had to take part. Since the other party said so, they had no choice but to win. At the thought of the other major families, Cameron scowled as he felt the pressure. “I heard that you have a non-human descendant in your family,” the other party said with a smile, but it was uncertain if his intention was to mock Cameron or to find out some information. The Claude family scowled as they instantly figured out who the other party was talking about—Ronan. This person had disgraced the whole family. “We do have someone like that in our family. Back then, one of our youths was restless and impulsive…” Cameron wanted to explain, but the other party interrupted him. The mysterious man smiled with satisfaction at Cameron’s admittance. “If that’s the case, it’s great. Let this person take part in the competition. I’m interested in his strength and want to try it out in person. “Other than your victory, this person has to take part in the comp
By treating Ronan badly, the people would receive some rewards from the higher-ups. After a while, everyone got used to it. Even the wine sold to Ronan was cheap wine that no one wanted. “There’ll be a place for me in the world somehow!” Philip shook his head. These people’s attitude was strange, indeed, but he did not think that they could not find a roof over their heads. Since the Claude family was so arrogant, they could take over their place. Thinking of this, Philip took them back to the Claude family's manor and knocked on the door with a smile on his face. The guards were horrified to see Philip and Ronan again. They did not forget how badly they were beaten earlier. Thus, no one dared to stop them from marching in for fear that they would be beaten again. They could not afford the consequences. The Claude family quickly learned about their appearance. They scowled, their faces turning ashen. “Why are you here again?” “We already told you that they won't be ba
Even though everyone was angry, they could not help but taunt the culprit. The cowardly man coughed at their sarcastic remarks. “Let’s wait until the family head returns tomorrow. I don’t believe Ronan will be so arrogant when he’s around!” After saying that, he ran to his room and hid, unwilling to say more to the others. Ronan did not know what happened back then. As long as he refused to admit it, he believed that Ronan could not do anything to him. It was a conspiracy against Ronan’s mother back then. If the family head refused to protect him, he would tell Ronan everything to save himself.… After Ronan left the luxurious manor, his mood instantly became better. He never thought that he would do something so spectacular one day. “Thank you.” Ronan lowered his head to Philip humbly. He was grateful to Philip and wanted to pledge brotherhood with Philip. Philip waved his hands awkwardly, surprised by Ronan’s courtesy. He did not do much; he just gave him some confiden
Other members of the family had been so pampered that no one could fight Ronan either. All of them were sent flying, and some of them hung on the tree miserably. Philip laughed at the scene. These people had always treated Ronan as a pushover when, in fact, Ronan was a force to be reckoned with. None of them was a match for him. “I know that other than my uncle, some other people were also involved in harming my mother, but I don’t know who they are. You'd better hand them over or no one will leave this place alive today.” Ronan’s killing intent was very intense. He was clearly very angry. Everyone panicked and looked around carefully, at a loss for what to do. They saw the fear in each other’s eyes. The family head had taken Ronan's uncle and some other people to a city. It was difficult for them to find a decision-maker when the elders were not around. The instigator from back then was not around either. Who else could they look for? “Calm down. This matter has nothin
Ronan’s uncle did not hesitate to force his elder sister to her death just to kick the most promising descendant out of the family. This grudge was unforgivable. Everyone laughed at Ronan’s audacity to seek revenge. Only a fool would dare to do that. “Do you know how powerful your uncle is?” “Although he’s not here now, he’s not someone you can afford to mess with.” Everyone mocked Ronan without taking him seriously at all. “Did you hear what I said?” Ronan scowled. These people kept disregarding his request and paid no attention to him. He felt very upset. “Since you won’t hand him over, I’ll beat you until he appears. If he’s not here, other people can take his place.” He knew that his uncle was quite powerful and would often go to other towns or cities for networking. While it was true that he might not be around, it did not mean that Ronan would not make trouble for the others. Everyone looked at Ronan arrogantly, waiting to see what Ronan would do. Suddenly, Rona
The guards were taken aback by Ronan’s sudden arrogance and looked at him doubtfully. “What’s up with you? Do you want to take action?” “After all these years, have you finally decided to avenge your mother?” They kept taunting Ronan without realizing how angry he was. “I repeat—I want to see the people who forced my mother to her death back then!” Ronan stomped his foot in anger and glared at everyone around him. The guards were startled because they finally felt Ronan’s strength with that stomp. They did not expect him to be that strong. Maybe because of Ronan’s fury, they finally realized his might and quickly scrambled into the manor. Philip saw the name on a plaque—Claude Manor. The place looked pretty imposing, and Philip felt a stab of longing as he looked around. Philip stood without a word. His main objective was to help Ronan. The guards ran away in a panic. They knew that Ronan was going to make things difficult for them. “It’s bad. Ronan is at the door
The man could not resist because he was alone. Next time, he would bring more people to deal with Philip. Philip saw his resentment but took no notice of it. No matter how much he resented Philip, he would not survive tonight. Such an arrogant and domineering person would not live to see the sun tomorrow. “Y-You hit him?” Ronan looked at Philip in disbelief, shocked that Philip would stand up for him. Although he usually appeared simple and kind, he was not a fool. He knew that Philip hit that guy to protect him. “If you meet such people again, just fight them and don’t worry about unnecessary things. You don't want to fight because you’re afraid of losing the right to enter the town, but you’re my brother from now on. “I can take care of your wine supply, and we can find other ways to make money. You don’t have to waste your efforts and live under someone else's roof anymore,” Philip said arrogantly, not taking these people seriously at all. Hearing that, Ronan nodded with
