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
After some arrangements from the hospital, Wynn was pushed out of the building in a hospital bed. Theo and Victor informed their men at the first opportunity and immediately guarded the entire vicinity of the hospital. Philip accompanied Wynn with Mila in his arms. Two subordinates slowly pushed the hospital bed and the baby incubator. The group slowly walked out of the hospital. Martha and Charles followed closely. In fact, Martha did not agree for them to go home now, but she dared not refute Philip’s decision. She could only grumble at Charles at the back, saying that he was useless and good-for-nothing. He could not even control his son-in-law. As they stepped out of the door, the afterglow of the evening sun shone on them. In front of the hospital, black Mercedes vehicles with double headlights on were parked on both sides of the spacious road. These cars stretched all the way to the street outside the hospital and continued with no end in sight! There were at least
Charles was also full of trepidation. He was shocked speechless by the scene in front of him. “I don’t know either,” Charles replied. With eyes full of surprise, his gaze fell on Philip’s back. Was this his true side and strength? No wonder these people would surround him. Fortunately, he noticed it before and did not offend him much. Otherwise, this family would be finished. Martha was now full of disbelief, her wide eyes constantly sweeping over Philip. Was this loser really not a loser? Were these people not paid actors? This was simply too exaggerated! Although Martha was excited, she still could not believe it and felt that Philip was doing this to scare her. However, the endless rows of Mercedes vehicles with double headlights flashing still had an impact on Martha! What if they really belonged to Philip’s family? At this time, several customized luxury cars suddenly drove over. Taking the lead was a pure gold glittering Rolls-Royce, which even the tires w
Instantly, the men in black suits standing in this area, as well as the black-suited bodyguards next to the black Mercedes vehicles along the street, bent over and shouted in unison, “We welcome Young Master and Young Madam home!” Like the surging waves of the ocean, this shout resounded within this ten-mile radius! Astonishing! Martha could not stand still any longer. Her knees went weak as she stared at the old man in front of her with wide eyes, screaming in shock, “A-Aren’t you the richest man, George Thomas? Why are you here?“Also, what did you call him just now? Young Master?” All of a sudden, Martha’s brain spun rapidly. She instantly pieced together many of the previous coincidences in her mind. At that moment, she suddenly felt her IQ soar, and she also had a clear realization of many things that she did not understand before. George turned his head, smiled slightly, and said to Martha, “Madam Yates, Philip Clarke is my young master. I’m just a servant by his sid
Philip glanced sideways at the anxious Martha and asked with a sneer, “Didn’t you refuse to go back with us? Why do you want to go with us now?” Martha felt her cheeks burning with embarrassment. She looked at those customized Rolls-Royces and RV with uncontrollable envy and excitement. These were all luxury cars. Would it not be awesome if she could sit in one? “Oh, my dear son-in-law, I’m just old and muddled. I was blind and ignorant when I treated you badly in the past. Just forgive me this time. Wynn is very weak now and needs her mother to stay with her.” Martha said boldly as she forced an ugly smile. Philip frowned and snorted. He took a step forward and scared Martha into taking two steps back. “With my strength, do you think I still need you to take care of Wynnie?” Philip asked coldly. Martha’s eyes flickered at his words. She did not know what to say. “Philip, I’m just—” Martha was just about to speak when Philip interrupted her coldly. “Martha Yates, sinc
“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
