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
The atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out! Horace’s Leopard Cavalier and Wade’s Tiger Guards had already gotten into formation by now! They were just waiting for their master’s command! However, at this moment, Philip walked over leisurely and said to Horace, “Uncle Horace, forget it. I’ll go with them to the branch family.” Hiss! As soon as he said that, everyone fell silent. Horace looked at Philip in disbelief and said, “Philip, what are you saying? You want to go to the branch family with them? You can’t do that! Don’t worry. With me around, there won’t be a problem here! Wade won’t dare to do anything to you! If he does, I’ll be the first to go after him! And I won’t spare the branch family either!” On the other side, Wade and Desmond were also very surprised. They exchanged a glance and wondered what Philip was up to. Why did he agree to their request so suddenly? What was he trying to do by putting on that murderous and death-defying look just now? Wade
“Very well, then! Everyone, let’s return! I want to see how arrogant this boy can still be once he gets to the branch family!” Wade shouted angrily and put his hands behind his back. Philip smiled calmly, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and led the way. Behind him, the Griffin Army formed a square and followed closely. Wade and Desmond lagged behind everyone for fear that Philip would escape halfway. Horace looked at Philip getting farther away with his eyebrows raised in contemplation. What the hell was this brat trying to do? Was he going to kick up a big fuss in the branch family? Thinking of this, a trace of worry appeared on Horace’s face. However, after thinking about it, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. After not seeing this brat for seven years, he dared to create such a big commotion when he just returned. In that case, Horace would go along with him for once. “Men, inform Third Madam as soon as possible. The rest of you, follow
It was just brief eye contact. Philip did not have much of an impression of Lex. The number of times he met Lex could be counted on one hand. Besides, Lex seldom did anything influential in the branch family and his reputation was so-so. At this moment, a man in a black outfit with burly muscles stood behind Lex. Next to him was a charming woman in a short purple dress, a pair of black high heels, and her hair was in a high ponytail. “Second Young Master, aren't you going to take a look?” the woman said, her voice soft. A delicate chill flashed in Lex’s eyes as he smiled and said, “Of course, why not? It’s so interesting. It’d be a waste to miss it.” As soon as he said that, the burly man in black attire straightened up from the wall he was leaning against and said, “Let me check out the situation first.” Lex shook his head and said, “No need. No one will make a move against me at this time. Just go with ease and confidence.” After saying that, Lex stared at Philip
Some young masters and young ladies present did not get a close look at the Griffin Army earlier as they were a distance away. At the majestic sight of the Griffin Army now, they could not help but tremble! What a strong aura! Was the young master of the main family here to admit his mistakes or pick a fight? Thud, thud. As their imaginations ran wild, Philip had already stepped into the memorial hall. He was standing in everyone’s sight fearlessly. Hansel immediately got angry and slammed his palm on the chair. He shouted, “Philip, how dare you?! Why aren’t you kneeling upon seeing your granduncles?” Philip smiled blandly and raised his eyebrows. His eyes were filled with disdain as he said, “You’re not worthy for me to kneel to you.” Smack! Hansel was furious and immediately stood up with a face full of anger. He pointed at Philip and roared, “Presumptuous! This is the branch family’s memorial hall. We are your granduncles. The purpose of opening the hall today is to
At Wade’s command, four guards with law enforcement batons immediately rushed in from the main entrance of the memorial hall. The law enforcement batons in their hands were made of redwood. They were as thick as an arm and engraved with the Clarke family rules. Clatter! The four guards knocked the law enforcement batons onto the floor tiles. The young masters and young ladies watching the excitement went pale with fright. They were about to enforce the family rules in front of the branch family’s memorial plaques! If Philip got hit with the wooden batons, even if he did not die, a layer of his skin would surely be peeled off! In the crowd, the elders and people in charge of the branch family sat on the chairs with faces filled with anger, as well as cold ridicule and sarcasm! An old man with a goatee stroked his beard and sneered. “Huh, a child of the main family dares to be so arrogant and rebellious in the branch family’s memorial hall. Master Wade, I think breaking his
At this time, the Claude family’s butler found the residence's doorstep surrounded by people. The butler was horrified and quickly found the patriarch. “Oh no, something bad has happened!” The butler ran into the room in disbelief. The excited Cameron scowled at this sudden intrusion. “What’s bad? Watch your words. Have you forgotten your manners? Don’t speak so loudly in this house!” Cameron had been lost in his excitement, but it was quickly replaced by anger. He wished he could fire the butler on the spot.The butler was scared and felt sorry for himself. “Patriarch! I wasn’t kidding. Something bad has happened!” “People from other families are at the door, including the heads of their families! They keep talking about some storage space and a rabbit, demanding an explanation from us. I don’t know what’s going on!” The butler felt aggrieved because he had no idea what happened. He only knew that a rabbit that could speak human language had turned up in the family. That ra
Philip had that precious tea on hand. Just one mouthful was enough to improve Cameron’s strength. He also had that incredible storage space. What was Philip’s background? How many mysterious treasures did he have? No one dared to think about it. Especially Cameron, who felt that he had found a treasure this time. At first, Cameron bore a grudge against Philip and felt that he had messed things up, but now, he saw Philip as his salvation.… Meanwhile, Sadie had no idea what had happened. Sadie’s husband was dealing with Philip’s issue with Cameron and did not have time to report the situation to his useless wife. She was still thinking about how to deal with Philip. “The rabbit’s storage space must be very valuable. If I spread the news about it, everyone will mess with that rabbit and save me the effort!” Thinking of this, Sadie thought she was very smart and was eager to put the plan into action. After thinking about it, Sadie contacted several families who were on go
“What are you guys doing here? Don’t you have anything better to do?” Rabbit asked bluntly. This arrogant rabbit was even more outspoken after staying with Aslan for so long. The Claude family felt offended. “My child, do you have a storage space? How did you get it? Can you tell me more?” Cameron ignored Rabbit but asked Ronan excitedly, eager to find out the situation. Ronan nodded calmly. “It’s just a storage space. Stop kicking up a fuss over it. My space is not very big, just enough to contain this house at most. It’s not a big deal,” he said pretentiously. Hearing that, Philip silently gave him a thumbs-up. He did not forget Ronan’s exaggerated expression when he first saw the size of the storage space. Surprisingly, Ronan got into the role so quickly. Philip thought he was a good actor. Ronan's casual remarks nearly caused everyone a mental breakdown. They were shocked as if they heard something incredible. “What? Is the space that big?” Cameron coughed violently.
“You can form a bond with the ring. Once that’s done, no one can take it away from you. It’ll belong to you forever.” Philip’s explanation reassured Ronan, and he finally accepted the gift from Philip with confidence. Although Ronan was strong, he was not arrogant to the point of being ignorant. If someone could take it from him, he would rather not have it. Although it was gratifying to own one, it would be painful to lose it after having it. With Philip’s affirmation, Ronan fidgeted with the ring happily and wanted to express his gratitude. Philip simply waved his hand without dwelling on it. “That’s enough. Go explore the storage space on your own. I believe it’ll help you greatly. “Since they’re so interested in Rabbit's storage space, you should show it off to them. I believe they’ll immediately hold you in high regard and maybe they’ll deal with those arrogant guys in the family.” Philip was excited at this mean trick and laughed when he thought of those people’s ugly
“This tea is amazing. I feel different with just one cup.” Cameron picked up the teapot to pour himself another cup of tea but it was empty. “Is that all you have?” Cameron smacked the table angrily. He was very annoyed and believed that they had stolen his tea. The man in the lead told Cameron his discovery. “We wanted to get rid of Philip, but we found this pot of tea in his room. We were very curious, so we took a sip, and the amazing effects surprised us! “We wanted to test it for poison, but we quickly brought it to you after discovering the powerful effects!” His explanation was so sound that no one could find any flaws. “The tea is good, but it's a pity that there’s only one sip. I wonder if Philip has the tea leaves.” Cameron’s mind raced. He was eager to have more of it. “We tied Philip up. Should we search his body?” They were eager to deal with Philip. Everyone yearned for that amazing tea. Cameron shook his head. He did not think that Philip would carry it
“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
