As soon as Wade finished speaking, Philip chuckled. He looked sideways, stared at Wade coldly, and asked, “You want me to kneel in the branch family’s memorial hall and plead guilty? And you want me to voluntarily step down as heir of the main family?” “Yes!” Wade stood with his hands behind his back with the aura and demeanor of an elder! His pair of gloomy eyes were full of mocking sneers at this moment. How dare this little young master of the main cause such a big fuss on the day he returned? The news had even spread throughout the Clarke family and caused some damage to the branch family’s reputation. This was unacceptable! If the branch family wanted to take the top spot in the Clarke family, they could not tolerate having a bad reputation! Today, Wade must get this boy in front of him to go to the branch family’s memorial hall to kneel and confess his sins. Then, they had to make it known to the entire Clarke family! Seeing Philip motionless, a chill flashed in
When Wade saw that the Griffin Army had drawn their weapons, a stern look flashed in his eyes as he said with a light laugh, “The Griffin Army of the main family that belongs solely to the heir. Interesting. Philip, do you really think you can rely on this 100-member Griffin Army to fight against the 300 guards under my three Tiger Generals? You underestimate me too much!” With a loud shout, Wade added coldly, “All guards of the Tiger Generals, draw your weapons!” Clink, clank! Instantly, the three Tiger Generals pulled out their tiger-patterned sabers from their waists! Behind them, the 300 Tiger Guards followed suit! The tiger-patterned sabers glowed with a light that made people’s hearts palpitate! With just one face-off, the atmosphere was already tense to the extreme! Both parties stood ready in confrontation! Wade looked at the Tiger Guards under his command with joy. More than 300 people were enough to drown the Griffin Army on the opposite side! “Philip boy, I
Suddenly, the atmosphere in front of the golden palace became extremely tense! The two parties officially faced each other! Everyone drew their sabers! Such a situation had not appeared in the Clarke family for a long time! With cold eyes, Wade sneered and said, “Philip, you’re simply too arrogant. You just returned to the island today and haven’t even entered the memorial hall, yet you dare to raise a storm and do as you please! On behalf of the branch family, I’ll take you down today!” Next to him, Desmond’s face was also flushed red at this moment. He looked at his poor great-grandson, who had been lying dead on the ground for a long time. He said, “Little Wade, you must avenge Gerry, my poor great-grandson.” Wade turned his head, bowed slightly to Desmond, and said, “Uncle Desmond, don’t worry. With me around, it’ll be the end for this tyrannical boy today!” After saying that, he sneered mockingly, looked at Philip who still had a calm face, and said, “Oh, looking at
Wade yelled, “Philip, give up resistance and obediently go back to the branch family memorial hall with me to admit your mistake. You’ll be spared the pain of the flesh. If you still refuse to repent, don’t blame me for being harsh! Including the woman you brought and your two children, I’ll bring them all away! So, for their sake, you’d better give up and surrender!” Hearing this, Philip’s expression was very ugly. The dormant chills in his eyes were obvious. It seemed that he had been away for too long and many things on the island were no longer in his control. He had been careless! Looking at the Griffin Army in front of him with their sabers drawn, Philip quickly thought about the countermeasures. After a while, he took a deep breath and said with a sneer, “Wade, if you have the guts, let your people take me away.” As soon as he said that, Wade was full of angry chills. He sneered and said, “Hehe, kid, you’re looking for death! “Well, since you said so, let me fulfi
The first three rows of the Leopard Cavalier held shields weighing hundreds of pounds that were stamped with leopard heads and snake prints! Thud, thud, thud! With every step they took, the ground shook slightly. The sound of the neat and uniform footsteps resounded in the ears just like a thousand troops on the battlefield! Thump! The shields in the hands of the three rows of Leopard Cavalier crashed heavily on the ground! The ground in the small square in front of the golden palace trembled! Swoosh! Instantly, three rows of the shield-wielding Leopard Cavalier separated and surrounded the Tiger Guards brought by Wade from three directions. Behind each row of shield-wielding Leopard Cavalier, there were several rows of more members of Leopard Cavalier standing. At this time! “Bows up!” Horace roared and stood aside. Instantly, the Leopard Cavalier behind the shields took off the silver bows from their backs neatly and uniformly! Swoosh! After that, they too
Horace snorted and said, “Third Elder, it’s wrong for you to say that. Since my nephew arrived on the island from the outside world today, your branch family has sent four waves of people to repeatedly harass my nephew. You even want to detain the heir of the main family. If my elder brother catches wind of this matter, do you think your branch family can still live quietly on the island?” “Hehe, Horace, are you trying to use the patriarch to threaten us now? If so, then you’re wrong! Our branch family has our chieftain and rules. Even Roger can’t easily interfere in our branch family's affairs!” Desmond shouted, and the cold intent in his eyes grew more exuberant! If they could not take down Philip today, it would not only be a loss of dignity to the branch family but also a loss of prestige! In the future, it would be difficult for the branch family to do anything! Wade also sneered and said, “Horace, have your men withdraw immediately and don’t hinder me from taking down t
Hearing this, Wade’s face dripped with cold sweat! Damn it! Horace had actually taken that step! In that case, why did he behave so meekly in the Clarke family in recent years? Anyone who had taken that step was not an ordinary person! Wade had been fumbling around for ten years but could never take that step, always hovering at the edge. Instantly, he felt a little flustered. If Horace was speaking the truth, then there was no way Wade could defeat him! This was their gap in strength and the difference of the realms! There was a look of horror in Wade’s eyes as he kept scrutinizing Horace. After a while, he bit the bullet and said, “Horace, even if you’ve taken that step, so what? I’m Wade Clarke of the branch family. I’m acting according to the family rules and am here on behalf of the law enforcement hall to make an arrest. If you dare stop me, you’ll be fighting against the branch family and law enforcement hall!” “The branch family?” Horace sneered and said o
Uncle Horace. Compared to Uncle Tim, he was not inferior. Back then, Uncle Horace once wielded a sword alone and disabled an elder of the law enforcement hall. At that time, the elders of the branch family rallied and attacked. The entire law enforcement hall, from inside out, was surrounded by guards from the branch family. However, a miracle happened! Just like that, Uncle Horace fearlessly walked out of the law enforcement hall in his white clothes while holding a long sword dripping with blood. Since that incident, Uncle Horace took up the position as one of the ten elders of the law enforcement hall. Later, it was rumored that a verbal message from the first elder came out of the courtyard before the branch family stopped. After that time, Uncle Horace’s fame in the Clarke family shot through the roof! Many years had passed. Uncle Horace had never made a move since that incident and became unknown again. However, everyone knew that he was a lion pretending to
“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
