Philip smiled tenderly, touched Wynn’s spotless forehead, and said, “I met a friend and chatted a little too long, so I got delayed. Why aren't you sleeping?” Wynn rolled her eyes at him and said, “I was worried about you. How could I sleep?” Philip laughed and put his arm around Wynn. The two sat on the sofa together. Wynn leaned on his shoulder and curled her legs. She wrapped her arms around Philip's waist. She smiled happily and sweetly while saying, “Phil, is it true that you’ll take me to my mother-in-law's mausoleum tomorrow?” Philip nodded and held Wynn’s tender little hand. He said, “Yes, I’ll bring you there tomorrow. The day after tomorrow will be the ancestor commemoration ceremony. At that time, you’ll become the true young madam of the Clarke family.” “Ancestor commemoration ceremony?” Wynn raised her head and looked at Philip in confusion. She said, “You never mentioned it to me.” Philip smiled, scratched her cute nose, and said, “It's not a big deal. It's
Levi was having a pool party at his residence and invited many young masters and young ladies from the rich families on Arcadia Island. He also found many external escorts and young models. Each one was a goddess-level character. He even invited some famous actresses from the entertainment industry. It was simply a feast for the eyes. Levi was happy as could be, surrounded by the crowd and intoxicated by the atmosphere. “Young Master Clarke, when will you bring us out to have fun? We haven’t left Arcadia Island for a long time.” A sultry woman slipped into Levi’s embrace, her skin soaked from the pool. Levi gave her a squeeze and said with a laugh, “Little beauty, why are you in a hurry? Wait a few more days and I'll bring you out to have fun!” “Really? Young Master Clarke, you have to take us with you.” “That’s right, we’re almost dying of boredom here.” For a while, a group of women tittered and laughed around Levi. It was as if he was in the middle of a flower b
Seeing Philip, who suddenly barged in with his men, Levi immediately jumped up from his beach chair in anger. He pointed at Philip and yelled, “Philip Clarke, how dare you?! This is the branch family, my private residence. What’s your intention by breaking in with your men and injuring my guards?” Levi’s face was full of chills. He waved his hand and a group of guards with guns rushed out from around the residence! Philip glanced around coldly and took a few steps forward. Those tittering trollops and young models were frightened and quickly hid behind Levi and the others. “Is that Philip Clarke? The eldest young master of the main family is so arrogant!” “No sh*t. He actually dares to bring his people and barge into Young Master Levi’s residence. Let’s see how Levi is going to take care of him!” “Hmph, I heard that he has just returned to Arcadia Island, yet he dares to act this way. He simply doesn’t care about the branch family.” Many men and women were gathered togeth
Bang! Amid everyone's astonished gaze, Philip stepped forward, raised his foot, and kicked Sunny in the stomach, knocking the latter to the ground! “You refuse to apologize? You brought it upon yourself!” Philip said coldly. Sunny knelt on the ground and clutched his stomach, his face scrunched up in pain. He looked up, raised a trembling finger, and roared, “How dare you kick me? I—” Crack! Before Sunny could finish his sentence, Philip reached out and broke his right hand! Argh! A heart-wrenching scream resounded throughout the yard in an instant! Hiss! Everyone gasped. Philip’s action was too ruthless, too fast! Before anyone could react, Sunny had lost an arm! Then, Philip looked down condescendingly at Sunny and asked, “I'll ask you one last time, will you apologize?” Sunny clutched his broken right arm, rolled on the ground in pain, and roared angrily. “I won't apologize! This is Young Master Levi’s residence! Do you dare to kill me?” As soon as the wo
Everyone was dumbfounded at the sight of Philip slapping Levi. Was the eldest young master of the main family so arrogant? He even dared to hit Levi! He really showed no respect to the eldest young master of the branch family at all! Levi’s cheeks flushed red. The clear slap mark was so eye-catching and looked like a stamp of humiliation! He glared coldly at Philip and roared, “Philip, how dare you hit me?! This is my residence!” However, Philip just smiled calmly as he looked at the hysterical Levi and said, “So what if this is your residence? If you dare to yell at me again, believe it or not, I’ll hit you again.” Levi was frightened by those words. He took several steps back and said with a frown, “Philip, don’t be too cocky. Even if you’re the eldest young master of the main family, you’ll suffer the consequence if you beat the eldest young master of the branch family in our territory.” After that, he waved his hand and said, “Men, come here and surround them! Today
It was too scary! How could this guy’s gaze look so terrifying? At this moment, with everyone watching, Philip cocked an eyebrow and looked at Levi coldly. He asked, “Are you really not going to explain what happened last night?” Levi chuckled and said, “Last night? What happened last night? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Philip's eyes went cold as he clenched his fists. Levi added, “Oh, yes, now I remember. Do you mean that thing about your wife taking your child to see a doctor? Hehe, that’s right, I arranged it. No doctor in the Clarke family will take them in for a medical check-up. A sl*t and a bastard from the outside world have no right to enjoy the superior medical resources of the Clarke family! What, has your daughter died from her illness already? It can’t be that soon, right?” After saying that, Levi sneered unkindly. Hearing this, the pent-up anger in Philip exploded at this moment! Some people kept testing the waters and tempting death! In that
Splash! Philip pulled Levi’s head up. Levi was choking on a lot of water at the moment. Spitting out the water, he shouted fiercely, “I don’t admit it! How dare you do this to me?! I’ll ask my father—” Splash! Before Levi could finish his sentence, Philip once again pressed his head into the water! This went on repeatedly. Finally, Philip let go. Levi flailed a couple of times before floating in the pool. Seeing this scene, those rich young masters and young ladies who were hiding in silence trembled and dared not speak! This was too horrible! He actually drowned Levi? Philip got up and indifferently looked at Levi’s body floating in the pool. He turned and left with the Griffin Army. After they left, the guards of the branch family jumped into the pool to fish Levi out. Then, medical staff appeared and quickly gave Levi CPR and artificial respiration. After ten minutes of rescue, Levi inhaled sharply. His eyes widened and he vomited a few mouthfuls of water b
Chloe’s eyes were blurry at this time, and she could not hear clearly. Hearing someone talking to her at this time, Chloe asked without raising her head, “Philip, are you here to pick me up?” The two youths glanced at each other and smirked lecherously. This little hussy was actually calling out a man’s name. Was she troubled by love? “Oh, it’s me! I’m here to pick you up! Come home with me, hehe.” The other guy said with a wicked smile before he reached out for Chloe’s waist. Unexpectedly, Chloe acted as if she was electrocuted. She shook off the hands of the two, saying angrily and aggrievedly, “I don't want to go home with you! You’re already married and have kids. You have long forgotten our initial promise. I hate you!” While saying that, Chloe started crying. The two delinquent youths were stunned and exchanged a glance. One of the youths asked for a glass of wine at the bar. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he quietly put something in and swayed the gla
“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
