Morrow stood up with the help of his servants. He was looking at the sky on the horizon when his legs suddenly felt very sore and he started to cough violently. Cough, cough! “Oh, Old Master Morrow, you're coughing up blood!” The servant next to him saw the bloodstained white handkerchief in Morrow’s hand and shouted in alarm, “Someone, quickly call for Dr. Garfield Gates!” Morrow looked past the door frame at the sky. The layers of dark clouds rolling in from the distance made him panic. “The weather is about to change.” Morrow mumbled this sentence under his breath before he coughed violently and passed out. The servants turned pale with fright and quickly called for medical staff. … On the other hand, Wade had returned to his residence and was standing in the hall with three men in front of him. They were wearing uniformed black steel armor branded with a tiger pattern, black steel helmets, steel-toe boots, and had tiger-patterned sabers at their waists. They were
Hearing that, Philip frowned as he patted Wynn on the shoulder and said, “I’ll go out for a moment.” Wynn glanced back and asked worriedly, “Is there a problem?” Philip shook his head, kissed her on the forehead, and said, “It’s fine. I’ll be back soon.” After that, Philip left the nursery and walked into the hall. In the hall, several people from the law enforcement hall were standing arrogantly at this moment. Several pairs of eyes constantly scanned the hall, staring at the rare treasures. When Philip came out of the nursery, they pretended to be respectful and said with a bow, “Greetings, Young Master Philip. We hope you’re in good health.” Philip stuck his hands in his trouser pockets, glanced around randomly, and did not answer their pretentious greeting. He sat on the white sofa with his legs crossed, his eyes flowing with indifferent chills. He asked, “Why are you here? Just get to the point.” The man who took the lead looked very young and a little feminine. He w
Hearing that, Gerry furrowed his good-looking eyebrows as his eyes flickered with chills. Of course, the consequences would be three days of isolation and ten canes! One should not underestimate the ten canes. One’s legs could be broken! The offender would be struck with ten wooden canes until they broke! It was extremely harsh and strict! Thinking of this, Gerry resentfully accepted the tea from the servant and took a sip. Pfft! Instantly, Gerry spat the tea out and the subordinates behind him quickly followed suit! “What the hell is this?” Gerry’s face was full of suffering. This tea was very astringent and bitter, just like horse urine. Philip clapped his hands and laughed as he said, “It’s nothing. That pot is made with horse urine. How is it? Doesn’t it taste special?” Smack! Gerry flew into a rage when he heard this. He smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground, pointed at Philip, and shouted, “Philip Clarke, you arrogant and cocky guy! How dare you mes
As soon as he said that, Philip walked up coldly in front of Gerry. His icy eyes stared at Gerry. This caused Gerry to fluster as he suddenly felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. Those eyes were too terrifying! “W-What do you want?” Gerry stepped back in a panic. As a result, Philip sneered and raised his hand. Smack! A crisp slap resounded in the hall! This slap from Philip caused Gerry to stagger. His mouth gushed with blood as two teeth were knocked out. He was used to being spoiled so how could he be Philip's match?! “Ah, how dare you hit me?! Blood, it’s blood! Philip Clarke, you’re done! It’s over for you! I’m the young master of the law enforcement hall and my great-grandfather is Desmond Clarke!” Gerry roared with anger. However… Smack! Philip slapped Gerry again on the other cheek and said coldly, “These two slaps are the price for your disrespect to me and my wife just now.” Gerry was dumbfounded, his eyes wide open as he sta
Bang! Like a tonne of bricks, Philip stomped heavily on Gerry’s back! Crack! Gerry’s backbone seemed to have shattered! “Argh, it hurts!” Gerry was lying on the ground, and his limbs flailed wildly. His face was pale, while his eyes were round and bloodshot! He was being stepped on the spine and the piercing pain made him almost faint on the spot! “Ah, get off! I’m about to be trampled to death!” Gerry roared with a flushed face. He felt as if he was about to lose his breath. The force on his back brought his chest into close contact with the floor tiles and that pressure made him breathless. Philip looked down at Gerry on the ground and said grimly, “Now, I want you to apologize to my wife.” “Don’t think about it! I'm from the law enforcement hall and I'm working on their orders! Your wife is nothing but a lowly woman with no background in the outside world. In the Clarke family, she’s supposed to be lynched! Moreover, she gave birth to the child of a Clarke. She
After saying that, Desmond led hundreds of guards and carried Gerry’s body to the main family. This group of people left the law enforcement hall boisterously. Wherever they went, all the servants of the Clarke family and ordinary citizens were so shocked that they stood by the roadside and dared not move. They bowed with their heads lowered. It was only after Desmond and the group passed by in front of them that they dared to whisper. “Oh no! Something's wrong! Isn't that the third elder? What are they doing here?” “Haven't you heard? Philip Clarke of the main family, who just returned, has killed Gerry Clarke! The third elder is bringing people to question him!” “What? Young Master Philip killed Gerry? It’s over! He’s in big trouble now!” Soon, news of Philip beating Gerry to death spread throughout Clarke Manor. The news spread like wildfire. From the children of the Clarke family down to the servants, everyone knew that Philip had beaten Gerry to death. Incident
Horace walked in with light steps, knelt beside the old man lying on the wicker chair, and said, “First Elder.” The old man did not say a word and continued to rest with his eyes closed. At his side, the servant gently waved the fan. Speaking of Horace Clarke, he had the same seniority as Roger and also belonged to the same generation. He was one of the few talented people of the main Clarke family. He was also Roger’s younger half-brother. His status and identity in the main family were quite high. He was also highly regarded by Roger. About ten minutes later, the old man on the wicker chair said with his eyes closed, “Little Horace, why are you here?” Horace knelt on the ground and said, “First Elder, the third elder is bringing people to the main family.” The old man hummed and said, “Let it be, it’s nothing. It's time to make some noise. The Clarke family has been quiet for too long. It’s good to make a fuss to make things livelier.” Horace was anxious and hurri
With the sound of Desmond’s roar at the entrance of this magnificent palace, hundreds of law enforcement hall guards stood ready for battle with guns raised and aimed at the main gate. However, even after a long time, no one came out! Desmond’s face darkened, and his eyes flashed sharply. He waved his big hand and shouted, “Charge inside and arrest him! Anyone who resists will have their limbs broken!” “Yes!” A vanguard that consisted of a dozen people immediately walked into this golden palace in a combat stance with their guns raised. They stomped on their boots. However, at this moment, two figures appeared hurriedly at the door. Wynn and Lydia stood at the door, looking at the scene in front of them in astonishment. “W-Who are you people? Philip isn’t here. If you’re looking for him, come back later.” Wynn was scared and panicking. She was facing hundreds of guards with guns! How could she, a woman who had just given birth, not be afraid? Lydia stood next to W
