“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
Seeing that Philip could still behave so arrogantly in such a situation, the old man with a goatee got angry. His eyes widened as he slapped the table. Standing up, he pointed at Philip angrily and shouted, “How dare you speak to me in this manner? Well, since you want to know, I see no harm in telling you. My name is Ted Clarke!” “Ted Clarke?” Philip frowned and murmured before he raised his eyebrows. With a mocking smile, he said, “Sorry, I'm not familiar with this name.” “What do you mean?” Ted scowled. What did this kid mean by that? Was his reputation so obscure? Philip chuckled and said, “It only means one thing. For an unknown old guy like you, I think you’re nothing but a useless piece of crap with no contribution to the Clarke family. An old thing like you should rest in peace earlier!” Hiss! Instantly, the entire memorial hall fell silent. Everyone looked at Philip in disbelief. This guy was so cocky! This was the branch family’s memorial hall that was f
“Haha!” Wade laughed and said, “Philip boy, you think too highly of yourself. This is the branch family, not your main family! Here, the branch family rules over the sky! Get down on your knees at once!” Philip snorted and asked instead, “Really? Okay, I’ll kneel, then.” As soon as Philip said that, Wade was taken aback. Was he going to kneel just like that? The elders and people in charge of the branch family were also slightly startled. However, they were instantly overwhelmed by anger. “Kneel! That’s right, on your knees at once!” “Hehe, I’m afraid it’s too late for him to kneel now!” “Yes, he’s too insolent. It’s useless even if he kneels now. He must be punished severely! Otherwise, others will think that the branch family is a pushover!” For a while, everyone’s anger was ignited again. Among them, Ted Clarke was the most furious. At his age, he was actually slapped twice by a junior in front of all the elders and people in charge of the branch family! Hatefu
Damn it! They finally got the chance to bring this kid to the branch family’s memorial hall and were about to lay their hands on him when the Sovereignty Seal suddenly appeared and disrupted their plans! The hell with kneeling! Desmond shook his head slightly and looked at Hansel and Salem, who also looked helpless. Then, Desmond suddenly whispered to Wade, “Wade, check and see if the ring is a fake.” Hearing that, Wade understood. He said to Philip, “Boy, show me the ring!” Philip knew they would do this. He casually tossed the ring to Wade and said nonchalantly, “Take a good look at it and give it back to me.” After that, he walked to a chair on the side and sat down swaggeringly. Looking at this scene, everyone was furious but no one dared to speak up. All of them came to Wade’s side and looked at the Sovereignty Seal in his hand. Wade also looked at it carefully, flipping it back and forth. He finally looked at everyone helplessly as he nodded and whispered, “It
That imposing voice resounded throughout the entire branch family’s memorial hall. Everyone focused their eyes in the direction of the main entrance.A tall and imposing figure that was full of majesty had appeared at the main entrance with the setting sun behind him. This person had a resolute and serious-looking angular face, searing eyes, thick eyebrows, stern eyes, a high nose, and thick lips, as well as an invincible aura that of a raging wolf. His eyebrows, cold like they were carved from a blade, were deeply etched on his face. When everyone saw this figure, they stopped clamoring and lowered their noble heads. Even the high and mighty Wade and the others silently stood to the side. They bowed slightly when they saw this figure. At the same time, there was a look of excitement and relief on their faces and they finally released a long breath. This matter could be considered resolved to their satisfaction. It would be the end of Philip today! When Philip heard
Katie was not a talkative person, so everyone who knew her did not expect her to exude much presence. Tom smiled and approached Katie to talk to her. “Hey, it’s been a while. Did you miss me?” Tom said excitedly. He felt emotional at the thought of Katie saving him. The chief looked at Tom unhappily, surprised that he was involved with a human woman. It was such a mess that he wondered what was going on. Katie lowered her head and responded shyly. Tom noticed that Katie had become very powerful. She was no longer an ordinary human. From Katie's walking posture and various indications, Katie was a powerful practitioner. She was even better than him. Moreover, she had a divine body. Tom looked expectant. Although Tom had a divine body too, he could not improve so quickly with his talent and strength. Philip must have groomed Katie with care for her to improve so quickly. Katie’s talent was obvious at a glance. She was not that good, but she was already on par with h
Rodney was about to have a mental breakdown. Elf water was so valuable that everyone would use it sparingly for fear of accidentally wasting it, but these people used it as bath water. “It’s none of your business, but we do have some leftover bath water over there. Although its effect has diminished, we can use it to water the flowers to make them grow well.” Elf water would lose most of its effects after bathing in it, but the powerful energy still existed, so using it to water flowers was a good choice. Normal people would never think of using it to water flowers. Rodney was almost going crazy. Although Akash felt that it was a waste too, Philip had bought the elf water at a high price, so he had the freedom to do whatever he wanted with it. “This is ridiculous. We’re talking about precious elf water. How could you waste it like this?” Rodney was shaking in anger. He wished he could kill Philip and show this wasteful person how powerful he was. “Tell your elves not to c
“Do you think no one heard when you threatened me just now? Humans are not as stupid as demons.” Loony flicked Rodney’s forehead, causing Rodney to grimace in pain. “Why did you sneak in to be around me? I don’t think I have anything that attracts demons,” Philip said curiously. Indeed, he wondered what brought the demons here. Hearing that, Rodney struggled hard, but Philip easily controlled him. Philip only tied his hands, but Rodney had already lost all ability to fight. His energy core had been sealed. No matter how hard he tried to break free and attack Philip, he failed to do it. “Don't try to break the barrier I put on you or you’ll self-combust and die.” Philip was amused by Rodney’s futile attempts to break free. “You!” Rodney knew that he was in trouble this time. He never thought that Philip would be so strong. He had been very confident that he could sneak his people into Philip’s team if Akash did not return in time and Philip would end up under his control.
Philip and the others knew what was going on, but they pretended to be surprised. The merfolk were really confused and wondered what was going on. Everyone looked at Akash standing at the door and then at 'Akash' standing not far away, baffled. “What’s going on? Are my eyes playing tricks on me?” “I see two Akash in front of me. What does it mean? Is one Akash fake?” They caught a strong scent of demons on the real Akash. It was planned in advance. Rodney deliberately left a strong scent of demons on the real Akash so that no one could tell what was going on. Everyone was doubtful and subconsciously thought that the Akash at the door was fake. Marina ran to Philip's side in confusion. “Philip, what’s going on? Is there a real and fake Akash? This is weird.” Marina did not know Akash, but she knew Philip brought Akash along, so Philip should know what was going on. “You two should know who is real and who is fake,” Philip said with a smile without answering Marina's
The fish creatures had struck a deal with the demons, so the fish creatures handed the pearl over immediately when they got hold of it. Rodney even had the chance to study it. His explanation did not attract much attention because many people knew about the water troops. Philip and the others did not know simply because they were humans. “Apart from the pearl, they need another item to unleash its full potential or the pearl's effect will be halved. The other item is my blood.” No one had used the pearl before, so they had never unleashed its full potential. Once every century, they needed the blood of the holy maiden to activate the pearl, but the fish creatures did not know this. “They think that they can command the water troops of the world by taking the pearl, but they only took an ordinary pearl. Without my blood to activate it, they can never command the world.” Rodney scowled upon hearing that, shocked by the news. He was glad that he stayed and heard the story. P
“What’s inside the coffin?” “Who knows? I heard someone calling for help inside. Why don't we open it and take a look?” The fawns were not yet fully grown, so they were simple-minded. Hearing someone calling for help, they wanted to lend a helping hand. They had taken on human form, so they could move easily. The coffin was sealed to prevent someone from opening it from the inside, but the effect was almost non-existent once someone opened the coffin from the outside. The fawns broke the seal, and Akash jumped out. He looked around in a panic and was surprised to see that his rescuers were a bunch of fawns. “Thank you. I’m a member of the elf family. You may come to us if you need any help in the future. I’ll do my best to help you.” After saying this, Akash vanished in front of the fawns. He had very important things to attend to. The little fawns never expected that they would rescue such a beautiful elf. They were puzzled and wondered what was going on. “Was that the
Everyone returned to the topic at hand and forgot about everything else. Akash was expectant, waiting to hear what everyone had to say. “According to our investigation, the fish creatures became so arrogant because they colluded with the demons. They wouldn’t have been strong enough to deal with us if the demons hadn’t given them the power to do so.” Philip was surprised to hear about the demons’ involvement again. It was simply ridiculous that everything was related to demons. “The demons are quite ambitious. It seems that they want to conquer this land like the humans before them, so they keep making trouble. I think we should get rid of them!” The chief was very angry. He hated the demons from the bottom of his heart and wished they would disappear. Akash’s expression changed. Although he had an opinion about the other party's words, he did not dare to express his thoughts due to his current identity. “Akash, tell me what you think about this matter. I believe that the
“I’m surprised that they’d attack me first. I thought they’d be more interested in Philip.” Loony looked at Akash thoughtfully. He knew that Akash was behind this. Akash returned his gaze silently, acting as if it had nothing to do with him. He would never admit his identity. “Ugh, that thing is so ugly.” Marina covered her mouth in a panic. Although they had a high tolerance level, these toad-like monsters were simply gross. Marina's father wanted to take this opportunity to see Philip's strength, but Philip did not take action. Loony dealt with the other party, and they found out that Loony was human. “I remember hearing a legend about a lunatic. Are you the lunatic mentioned?” Marina was puzzled by Loony’s identity. Everything Loony did proved that he was human, but none of them could do any of it. “It's said that only humans and demons can practice voodoo, which is what I think you did just now. Philip can’t possibly be involved with the demons, so if I’m not mi
Philip shrugged and said calmly, “As usual, we take one step at a time. If they use force, we’ll do the same. Don’t worry about it. Even though they're strong, it’s not as if we can’t do anything about it.” Marina's heart skipped a beat at the sight of Philip's confidence, her feelings indescribable. Marina's father was heartbroken at this scene. He wished he could slap his daughter to wake her up. “Hmph, there's no point in saying empty words. Anyone can take one step at a time. When the enemy shows up at the door, that’s the only thing we can do.” Everyone noticed the sarcasm behind the words, and Marina was shocked. She did not expect that her father would be so unreasonable as to pick a fight at this time. Before anyone could say anything else, the door was kicked open, and Philip was surprised to see the person who entered the door. Philip did not set up a barrier in this place, so anyone could enter and exit freely. Everyone was on guard against the newcomer because
