Dropping the rocket launcher, Philip clapped his hands, looked at Allen, who had fainted from fear, and said, “Pull him up.” A few minutes later, a drenched Allen lay on the deck. Philip had changed into a white bohemian shirt with black casual pants. He had on sunglasses as well. He stood with his hands behind his back. With the sea breeze blowing, his sturdy figure was exposed under the sun, and he looked extraordinarily handsome. Just like a prince on the sea! At this moment, he put his hands in his trouser pockets, glanced at Allen who had passed out, and said, “Wake him up.” A guard stepped forward and slapped Allen twice. Allen threw up the seawater and a small fish. It fell limply on the ground, while Allen’s face was pale. Connor and Levi had been witnessing Philip’s methods from the sidelines since the start. Too scary! This guy actually dared to attack a member of the branch family! Following that, Philip looked at Allen who had woken up, and said, “I thou
Martha’s words silenced the jubilant voices on the scene. The welcoming crowd stared at Martha in amazement at this moment. This middle-aged woman looked like an ordinary housewife at a glance, and she was also dressed in ordinary clothes. How dare she say such flippant and chastising words to Fifth Madam? Oh no! Something was about to happen! Sure enough, the gentle and elegant woman with a loving smile on her face suddenly froze. A cold light flashed from the corner of her eyes. She squeezed out a smile and asked, “What did you just say?” When Philip saw this smile, he knew it was over. His fifth mother was definitely the mildest-looking but the most irritable person on the island! Even his father had to back down somewhat when his fifth mother got angry. At this moment, seeing the indifferent smile at the corner of Fifth Mother’s mouth, Philip knew that Martha’s good days had come to an end. However, Martha was oblivious and glanced suspiciously at the people aro
Hearing Philip’s words, Nadia asked worriedly, “Do you really want to do this? Phil, listen to my advice. You just came back and can’t be independent yet. There are many things on the island that you don't understand. The influence of the branch family is deeply entrenched on this island. If you go head-on against the chieftain like this, you’ll get into trouble.” Philip smiled and said, “Fifth Mother, don’t worry. I have my plans.” After saying that, he turned around and returned to Wynn’s side. Nadia stood there and watched as Philip chatted with Wynn. She shook her head helplessly and smiled. This child was still the same as before, and also the same as his father—unwilling to talk to others whenever they did anything. “Fifth Madam, should I secretly arrange for someone to spy on the movement of the branch family?” A personal guard beside Nadia asked with a serious and rigid face at this moment. Nadia thought about it and nodded while saying, “Fine, go and sniff out th
This was just the edge of the estate but there were already many villas, golf courses, leisure clubs, open-air swimming pools, zoos, and so on. There were even buildings that looked like palaces—magnificent and beautiful. Expensive trees and flowers from various countries could also be seen. There were world-class florists pruning and tending to them. Many servants and butlers in black and white uniforms also walked around. They would respectfully stop and bow when they saw the convoy. At this sight, Martha looked like she had never seen the world before. She grinned broadly from ear to ear, her eyes wide open. She was excited beyond belief. She chattered incessantly the entire way. “Charles, look at this.” “Charles, look over there.” “Wow, and that!” “Is this my son-in-law's house? This is simply a palace! It’s too luxurious! This is what a wealthy family is like. My goodness, what blessing I have in this life to have such a son-in-law.” Martha was so excited that
At this moment, everyone got out of the cars and was stunned by the sight of the vast manor in front of them! For more than ten minutes, they could not recover their senses as if they had arrived in a fairyland. They saw a whole row of classic castle buildings with five or six floors, all grand and majestic. It was just like the Palace of Versailles, with drawings of the gods ascending to the sky. It seemed to carry traces of myths and history of various countries. A huge golden-bronze gate stood in the center of this classic castle building carved with world maps and various mythological characters. Everything looked like a treasure of humankind. Martha was already shocked by the scene before her eyes and could not stand still anymore. When she got out of the car, she realized how luxurious and big this place was. It was really very big, too big for her to imagine or understand. In the world, there was actually such a large manor and such a luxurious interior! At thi
Martha was dumbfounded at Philip’s words Lucky? Why did it sound like a dog’s name? Philip was not going to let her sleep in the doghouse, right? For a moment, Martha panicked. She quickly grabbed Philip’s arm and said with a smile, “Son-in-law, don't be ridiculous. I’m your mother-in-law, after all. And I’m Wynn’s mother. How can you bear to let me stay in a doghouse? It doesn’t sound good if word of this spreads out.” Martha laughed and the wrinkles on her face squeezed together, looking very ugly. Hehe. Philip turned his head, pulled his arm away from Martha’s grip, and said coldly, “Do you think I'm joking with you? Do you think I brought you back to enjoy life?” Thump! Martha panicked and stammered, “Isn’t that so?” Philip shook his head, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. He said to the servant, “Take her away.” Hearing that, the servant motioned to two bodyguards in black suits who dragged Martha away. This caused Martha to panic. She stru
Martha looked over. The four dogs had their tongues out, looking ferocious. They all stared fixedly at her! Woof, woof! With a series of barks, the four pit bulls wanted to rush over to bite Martha. She was so scared that she struggled and cried as she tried to run. Fat Aunt pulled the leashes in her hand and ordered, “Lucky, sit down!” The four pit bulls sat down in unison. Martha was about to kneel in fright. Her face was full of tears as she wailed, “I don't want to live here. I’m scared of dogs. Save me.” However, her screaming was to no avail. Fat Aunt looked at Martha and said with a smile, “I get it. I’ll make arrangements for this person.” The maid nodded with a smile before she turned and left. Soon, only Fat Aunt and Martha remained, as well as four pit bulls that kept sticking their tongues out and staring at Martha. Martha stood remained in the same spot, trembling all over. She did not dare to move. She was extremely flustered. These four dogs looked
Philip sat in the yacht and approached the small island’s port. At this moment, more than a dozen fully-armed Clarke family’s guards were standing guard there. Philip got off the yacht and just stepped ashore when he was greeted with a bear hug by a stout, dark-skinned man with a smile on his face. “Welcome back.” The man, about 30 years old, grinned with a mouthful of white teeth. Philip smiled and hugged him for a while before letting go. He said, “Buck, it’s been a while.” Buck Jolly patted Philip on the shoulder with a face full of smiles. He reached out to hammer the other party’s chest and said, “Good on you. You’ve been gone for more than seven years and your body is still in good shape with no signs of falling behind. In a moment, I want to see if you’ve forgotten what I taught you.” Philip smiled as he followed the man forward and said, “Okay.” Buck Jolly was the captain of the Clarke family’s sixth guard squad. He could also be considered as Philip’s master befo
“This tea is simply amazing. I’m surprised that Philip is lucky enough to find this treasure!” “By the way, why is Philip alone? Where's that rabbit?” Everyone looked around but saw no signs of the rabbit and had to give up. In the end, only a mouthful of tea was left in the pot. After much deliberation, they decided to give it to the patriarch. After all, it was a rare treasure! They quickly tied Philip up. Once Philip lost his freedom, they had nothing to worry about. They wanted to take credit for their finding and let the family know about this rare treasure.… Meanwhile, Cameron was in his room, thinking about how to carry out the competition. He had just finished talking with Ronan and was in a good mood. He was surprised by Ronan’s attitude. Ronan did not hold a grudge against them and desperately wanted to join their family, which was simply too good to be true. More importantly, Ronan was strong enough to win the competition for them. Cameron did not care whet
At this moment, Philip noticed something unusual and realized that someone had sneaked into his yard. He was amused that someone dared to mess with him. “Surround this area while I poison him. After he’s dead, don’t forget to bring the rabbit along with us. It’s best if we can figure out the rabbit’s secret. If not, just silence the rabbit too!” The person taking the lead explained the plan. He was none other than Sadie’s husband. For the sake of his position in the family and his son, he had to take the risk. Philip was enjoying his premium spiritual tea, and that fragrance could not be concealed at all. Very soon, the intruders smelled the fragrance and followed their noses to find the source. “Do you smell something fragrant? I feel that my strength has improved after a whiff of this smell!” “I feel refreshed with just one whiff as if my ailment has been relieved. That ailment has been bothering me for years. This is amazing!” Everyone was excited as they tracked the s
Cameron never thought that he would lose to a rabbit in an argument. After a brief silence, he finally decided to ignore the matter for the time being. Since the treasures were in Rabbit’s hands, he had to talk to Ronan about the competition. “Ronan, come with me. I want to tell you about the competition. Your friend can stay. We’ll treat him with the utmost courtesy!” Cameron invited Ronan kindly while signaling to everyone. As long as Ronan was not around, they could attack and even kill Philip on the spot. Philip would be useless once they figured out Rabbit’s secret. If Ronan asked, they could say that Philip decided to leave. Anyway, they had all sorts of excuses to take care of this. Ronan glanced at Philip and walked to the conference hall. Ronan knew that he had to deal with these people himself. Philip was only here to give him courage. Philip gave him a reassuring look and returned to the house. He was interested in the competition, so he wanted to figure out
“Are you talking about this rabbit? He’s not my pet. He belongs to my friend.” Ronan shrugged. He wanted such a pet, but he was not good enough. Hearing that, Cameron's face turned pale. Although the rabbit was an additional benefit, he never thought that he would fail to get it. Cameron glared at Philip. He did not have a good impression of Philip. Philip looked like a troublemaker. He suspected that Philip had influenced Ronan into making things difficult for them. Cameron wanted to drive Philip away, but Ronan abruptly said that this matter was related to Philip. Before he could weigh the pros and cons, Cameron decided to hide his emotions. At least, he could not reveal his dislike for Philip. “I see. Your friend seems like a casual practitioner. Why don't he consider joining our family? For your sake, I can give him the same treatment and allow the two of you to take part in the competition as representatives of the family. I believe you’ll do your best and won’t let me
At this time, Rabbit hopped to Philip's side. “Philip, I was out for a walk yesterday and heard some rumors. They’ll be holding a competition among the humans soon, and all major families and forces will send some contestants for the fight. “Either a family or a force that is in charge of an area can join the competition. I heard that the Claude family is taking part.” Hearing this, and combined with their reaction, Philip guessed something. They probably wanted to trick Ronan into participating in the competition, which was why they were approaching him so enthusiastically. “There’s more.” Rabbit smiled and leaned forward, clearly asking for a beating. Philip saw Rabbit’s reaction and hit his face. “Just spit it out. Stop messing around!” Rabbit chuckled and said, “I heard that the Claude family is negotiating a business deal, and the prerequisite is that Ronan must participate in the competition and win first place. Although I don't know why, that’s the only condition the
Everyone was dumbfounded. No one thought that Ronan would take action without paying any heed to them. Cameron panicked and ordered his men to stop Ronan, “Guards, take action! You have to stop Ronan!” His face turned pale, and he wished that the guards could kill Ronan. However, he suddenly remembered the deal between the businessman and himself. “Wait, don’t kill him. I want him alive. I need him for something important!” Cameron shouted nervously as if he was sure that his guards would defeat Ronan. Other than the guards, other family members also stepped forward. They wanted to show off their strength. Seeing this, Philip waved to Ronan. He would take action if required. Ronan waved his hand indifferently in response. He did not need Philip’s help for now. He was strong enough to take care of it. At this time, Rabbit appeared drowsily. Rabbit led a carefree life, and Philip always let him be, so he was an idle rabbit. After Cameron and the others saw Rabbit, their e
Ronan became more confident after the chat with Philip. If anyone dared to mess with him, he would not hesitate to teach them a good lesson. Cameron looked around but did not see Rabbit. He was worried but went straight to the point. “My child, after all these years, have you finally decided to return to the family?” Cameron smiled as he attempted the emotional approach as if Ronan had lived outside over the years because of his own decision. Hearing that, Ronan coughed and nearly threw up. Cameron was really good at blaming him. “What do you mean? Did I ask you to kick me out of the house?” Ronan's eyes flashed with anger. As a weak and powerless child back then, he was kicked out of the house right after his mother’s death. That feeling was really humiliating. All his grievances over the years exploded at this point. He could not tolerate these hypocritical people anymore. Cameron noticed Ronan’s reaction and knew that it was bad. This matter was out of his control. Ronan
“Since you've accepted my things, you should…” Cameron rubbed his hands excitedly, looking at Rabbit smugly and expectantly. His men looked at Rabbit in delight. It would be great if they could get storage space. Rabbit shook his head in disdain. “What are you thinking? Do you think you’re worthy of me? You don’t even have a measly storage space. Who are you to bargain with me?” Rabbit kicked the nearest person away. “Don’t bother me again or that’ll be your outcome!” He hopped back into the house. He was not afraid that they would mess with him. Cameron was shocked that Rabbit would go back on his word after taking their things. He was furious. Those were the treasures of the family. It would be a disaster if they lost them. However, it was clearly not the right time to dwell on it. Cameron decided to talk to Rabbit again tomorrow. He had to talk to Ronan anyway. It would be best if he could fool them. “Let’s get some rest for the night and talk about it tomorrow morning
Cameron persuaded Rabbit excitedly. In his opinion, he was halfway to success. Rabbit nodded. “Give me what you have for now. At least show me your sincerity. You should know that the guy inside offered me a high price!” Rabbit fooled Cameron. He wanted to know what Cameron could come up with. Just crystals alone would be a letdown. Hearing that, Cameron waved to his men, signaling them to take out all the good things from the warehouse, at least to fool Rabbit for the time being. His men reluctantly went to the warehouse and took out all the treasures they had collected. Anyway, it was just for show and would not really be given to the rabbit, so they did not object. It would be a great deal if these treasures could attract a guardian beast. Rabbit nodded with satisfaction at these things. He waved his hand, and everything vanished from those people’s hands. Everyone was shocked and wondered what was going on. There was no such thing as storage space in this world. They ha
