Giada was extremely anxious. Once Philip returned to Arcadia Island and gained power, the plan she had been laying out for so many years would be for nothing. Even if she had a backup plan, the threat posed to Philip in the future would be inconsequential. The Wallis family would be completely reduced to a subservient family under the Clarke family! She was unwilling to concede! The former supreme frowned, and his face was bitterly cold. After a pause, he said, “I’ll get my Alpha Camp to surround Uppercreek.” After hearing this, Giada breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That would be best!” However, the former supreme asked again, “Madam Wallis, what do you think our chances of winning are?” Giada’s expression changed as she frowned. She glanced at the sky outside and said, “Even if there’s no chance of winning, I’ll still do my best this time. Because you and I are already tied to the same boat. Once this matter is exposed, neither one of us will end well!” When the
Upon hearing that, the former supreme trembled all over, and his face was full of shock! Relieved of all duties? Supreme title removed? What was the difference between this and releasing military power with a cup of wine? The former supreme quivered slightly as his eyes showed a strong chill. He grabbed the golden paper document branded with various red seals from the hands of the man in combat uniform! It really came from the Imperial Palace! The seal on the document was genuine! “Why is this so? How could the Imperial Preceptor treat me this way? I, Sade Jagger, have served the country and the people all my life. I’ve never crossed the line by even half a step. Why is the Imperial Preceptor treating me this way?” The former supreme was full of tears and desolate chills. The Imperial Preceptor’s golden order had directly deprived the former supreme of his lifetime of merits! Although he was to be relieved of his duties to enjoy his retirement in peace, what was the d
Entering the hall, Giada turned around and glanced at the situation outside the door. The personnel in combat uniforms had really taken over the entire Cirrus Villa. “Damn it!” Giada punched the sofa angrily before she quickly dialed a number and said coldly, “Why did the Imperial Preceptor take action? Is the Gentleman Court just going to stand by and watch as Philip Clarke makes his return?” On the other end of the phone, a calm and weather-beaten voice rang out, “The Imperial Preceptor’s move was within my expectation. Your Wallis family shouldn’t interfere in this matter any longer. The change in the game is not something you can deal with.” After saying that, the call was hung up. … The line of sight shifted to a luxurious manor somewhere in the mountains. A stoic and weather-beaten figure wearing a black suit was standing in a small garden and looking up at the sky with his hands behind his back. A servant hurried over at this time, handed him a phone, and said, “My
The man in the tunic pushed his glasses before a faint smile appeared on his lips. He asked, “Imperial Preceptor, are you asking about the writing or the person?” The man wearing the white robe embroidered with gold dragon and fire phoenix glanced sideways at the middle-aged man beside him, saying with a laugh, “What do you think of the writing?” “Grand and majestic. Strong penmanship. Quite the legacy. The word written by the Imperial Preceptor is worth its weight in gold,” the middle-aged man said with a slight bow. The Imperial Preceptor laughed and asked, “What about the person?” The middle-aged man revealed a subtle smile and said, “I believe you should know this person better than me.” Hearing that, the Imperial Preceptor put the pen on the desk, placed both hands in front of his belly, and said, “Tell me about him.” The middle-aged man complied with his request and said, “An unprecedented presence like no other.” The Imperial Preceptor frowned at his words and look
At the same time, several secret messages were relayed from the Imperial Palace to various forces in all places! Everyone lurking in Uppercreek at this moment or standing guard outside the country received the golden order from the Imperial Palace. Anyone who crossed the border or caused trouble in the territory would be executed! As soon as this golden order was issued, half of the people lying in ambush in Uppercreek or standing guard outside the country received the shock of their lives! The Imperial Preceptor’s Golden Order! After 15 years, the Imperial Preceptor’s Golden Order was issued again! The Imperial Preceptor was an irreplaceable figure in the territory! He was the person who controlled the entire chessboard in the country! Instantly, these people started to slowly withdraw from Uppercreek after receiving the golden order. Fighting against the country was tantamount to cracking a stone with an egg! The Imperial Preceptor was a title that overwhelmed eve
Philip felt a little amazed when he saw Fulton. Even Fulton was here? What was his father doing? Was this pompadour really necessary? “Why are you here too?” Philip asked with a frown. If he understood Fulton’s words correctly, all members of the Shadow Squadron were here as well? This was in addition to the Dragon Knights from just now. What exactly was his father going to do, sending so many great characters to a small Uppercreek? With a respectful look on his face, Fulton replied, “The lord has ordered us to escort Young Lord back to the island. The Dragon Knights have taken the lead to place the entire Uppercreek under martial law. All the members of the Shadow Squadron are gathered outside the hospital at this moment, waiting for the young lord and young lady to return to the island at any time.” Philip’s face tensed. He was just about to speak when Martha stepped forward from behind him and pointed at Fulton as she exclaimed, “I’ve seen you before. Weren’t you the
Wynn felt her head aching as she said with a pale face, “Mom, can you stop making a fuss…” Martha saw the situation and still wanted to say something when Philip stepped forward with a frosty look on his face. Seeing Philip’s expression and the look in his eyes, Martha’s heart thumped as she dodged, asking, “W-What do you want to do? Don’t do it. I'm your mother-in-law. I’m Wynnie’s… Hey, don’t touch me!” Martha wanted to continue shouting when Philip got close, grabbed Martha by her hair, and yanked her out the door. He said coldly, “My wife needs to rest. You should get out for now.” Charles and Wynn were stunned at that scene. Charles immediately ran out and shouted, “Philip, be gentle. Give her a break.” Wynn glanced at the scene with tears in her eyes. Then, she looked at the child in the incubator beside her as an inadvertent blissful smile appeared on her lips. On this side, Philip yanked Martha’s hair and threw her out the door. Martha lost her footing and stagg
It was an island… This sentence kept repeating in Martha’s mind. What the heck? What island? “Philip, are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about? Your home is an island? Are you kidding me?” Martha almost went crazy with anger. She pointed at Philip’s nose and flung all sorts of curses at him. This damned son-in-law dared to spout such ridiculous words! An island? Did he think she was uncultured and easy to deceive? She was not a foolish young girl of 18 who would believe anything! Philip snorted as he looked at Martha with a trace of disdain and said, “Do I need to lie to you?” His words and the look in his eyes caused Martha’s heart to thump rapidly! Could it be? This brat’s home was really on an island? A thought crossed Martha’s mind and she said mockingly, “Oh, I get it now. You must be a fisherman in the coastal area. I heard that some fishermen have been living on the island for generations. Alas, I heard that the living conditions of those fi
“What’s inside the coffin?” “Who knows? I heard someone calling for help inside. Why don't we open it and take a look?” The fawns were not yet fully grown, so they were simple-minded. Hearing someone calling for help, they wanted to lend a helping hand. They had taken on human form, so they could move easily. The coffin was sealed to prevent someone from opening it from the inside, but the effect was almost non-existent once someone opened the coffin from the outside. The fawns broke the seal, and Akash jumped out. He looked around in a panic and was surprised to see that his rescuers were a bunch of fawns. “Thank you. I’m a member of the elf family. You may come to us if you need any help in the future. I’ll do my best to help you.” After saying this, Akash vanished in front of the fawns. He had very important things to attend to. The little fawns never expected that they would rescue such a beautiful elf. They were puzzled and wondered what was going on. “Was that the
Everyone returned to the topic at hand and forgot about everything else. Akash was expectant, waiting to hear what everyone had to say. “According to our investigation, the fish creatures became so arrogant because they colluded with the demons. They wouldn’t have been strong enough to deal with us if the demons hadn’t given them the power to do so.” Philip was surprised to hear about the demons’ involvement again. It was simply ridiculous that everything was related to demons. “The demons are quite ambitious. It seems that they want to conquer this land like the humans before them, so they keep making trouble. I think we should get rid of them!” The chief was very angry. He hated the demons from the bottom of his heart and wished they would disappear. Akash’s expression changed. Although he had an opinion about the other party's words, he did not dare to express his thoughts due to his current identity. “Akash, tell me what you think about this matter. I believe that the
“I’m surprised that they’d attack me first. I thought they’d be more interested in Philip.” Loony looked at Akash thoughtfully. He knew that Akash was behind this. Akash returned his gaze silently, acting as if it had nothing to do with him. He would never admit his identity. “Ugh, that thing is so ugly.” Marina covered her mouth in a panic. Although they had a high tolerance level, these toad-like monsters were simply gross. Marina's father wanted to take this opportunity to see Philip's strength, but Philip did not take action. Loony dealt with the other party, and they found out that Loony was human. “I remember hearing a legend about a lunatic. Are you the lunatic mentioned?” Marina was puzzled by Loony’s identity. Everything Loony did proved that he was human, but none of them could do any of it. “It's said that only humans and demons can practice voodoo, which is what I think you did just now. Philip can’t possibly be involved with the demons, so if I’m not mi
Philip shrugged and said calmly, “As usual, we take one step at a time. If they use force, we’ll do the same. Don’t worry about it. Even though they're strong, it’s not as if we can’t do anything about it.” Marina's heart skipped a beat at the sight of Philip's confidence, her feelings indescribable. Marina's father was heartbroken at this scene. He wished he could slap his daughter to wake her up. “Hmph, there's no point in saying empty words. Anyone can take one step at a time. When the enemy shows up at the door, that’s the only thing we can do.” Everyone noticed the sarcasm behind the words, and Marina was shocked. She did not expect that her father would be so unreasonable as to pick a fight at this time. Before anyone could say anything else, the door was kicked open, and Philip was surprised to see the person who entered the door. Philip did not set up a barrier in this place, so anyone could enter and exit freely. Everyone was on guard against the newcomer because
Loony and Akash were beating about the bush, trying to intimidate each other. However, Loony uncovered the mystery first. Akash coughed violently to conceal his shock and returned to his room after excusing himself, clearly going to inform the people behind him. “See, he exposed himself after just a few words. It's quite interesting,” Loony said with a smile, not acting like a lunatic at all. Philip had to marvel at his acting skills. Everyone always treated him as a lunatic, which saved him a lot of trouble. Akash returned to the room and tried to contact the people behind him, but he could not find anyone for some reason. He looked around anxiously, wondering what he should do next. “Damn it. At worst, I’ll have to deal with him.” Akash decided to deal with Loony. In his opinion, Loony should have been greatly weakened after being imprisoned for so many years and was no match for himself. Everything would be under his command if he could find a way to control Loony. Thi
Aslan and the others were aware of Akash’s fake identity too. No one wanted to interact with him, but they had to greet him to avoid exposing themselves. At the same time, Marina arrived with her father and other family members. To be on the safe side, they did not meet Philip collectively but left some backup plans. “Marina, as your father, I have to remind you that I won’t treat him kindly if I find out that he’s not a good person,” the chief said solemnly. He felt a little uneasy at the thought of meeting his daughter’s crush. He wondered if Philip had a good character, how many people he had in his family, and whether he was worthy of his precious daughter. However, even if Philip was worthy, he would not agree to their relationship. After all, they belonged to two different species. What if they gave birth to a fish creature? The beautiful merfolk would never allow those ugly creatures to tarnish their reputation. “Dad, you think too much. I have no ideas about him
The call between the two ended after a brief exchange. Rodney smiled in disdain. He was aware of his mission, but he had no idea that the Loony he was looking for was right next to him. He only knew that Philip was quite strong and had many treasures on hand. “Everything will be different once I get the elf water. At that time, this bunch of stupid guys…” Although the demons could not comprehend the book very well, they understood the general content written on it. They needed elf water if they wanted to get rid of the identity of demons. Although it was harmful to them, it could purify their bodies in combination with certain spells. Unfortunately, they just found the secret and finally found the elves when they realized that someone had wiped out the elves, which was infuriating. Rodney found Philip because he knew that Philip had the elf water. Loony was his second mission.… The night passed quickly, and Philip and Loony were chatting so exuberantly that they forgot
“I have to take responsibility for it. Demons were not so strong back then. They became so powerful because of my book. That book can be considered a divine artifact, and its contents have a great effect on all creatures.” Philip was interested in Loony’s explanation. He wanted to know why the book had such a powerful effect. “Everyone always calls me a lunatic. Indeed, I do go crazy from time to time, but I never lose my awareness. I know what I should do and what the consequences will be if the book falls into the wrong hands.” Loony looked at Philip earnestly, clearly asking for a favor. In his opinion, only Philip could save him. “That book is the first half, and its content is difficult to understand. Even I could only comprehend a little. I hope you can help me get it back. If you succeed, I’ll give you the second half. It’d be best if you can practice it.” To be honest, Philip was not in favor of this suggestion. Practicing such things might affect his path and bring h
“Is that person human?” the chief grasped the key point and asked the crucial question. Everyone nodded. They knew Philip’s identity and did not care that he was human. They saw him as a friend. “I entered Philip’s world by chance, and he helped me return. If it weren't for him, those things would probably have killed me by now. They're very strong, indeed.” Marina felt a lingering fear when she recalled past events. She knew how powerful those ugly creatures were. The fish creatures had become very strong for some reason as if they could overwhelm the merfolk at any time. “He opened the passage to this world, sent me back, and restored our people back to health. We would've died if not for his help. Philip is our friend, not foe,” Marina defended Philip. The chief was heartbroken to hear his daughter defend a man like this. His precious daughter had grown up or she would not have said such a thing. “Okay, in that case, I look forward to seeing this young man named Philip
