10,000 special guards of the branch family who had been trained in various places over the past ten years quickly assembled. Meanwhile, in Philip’s residence, Philip came to the yard alone after tucking Wynn into bed. A figure suddenly appeared in the yard and said with a hint of laziness, “Young Master, it's not too late for me to return now, right?” Philip looked at the figure walking out of the darkness and asked, “Where have you been all this while?” Rick Davenport walked out of the darkness at this moment, stood beside Philip, and said helplessly, “I was avoiding the pursuit of the Gentleman Court. I almost kicked the bucket in Country M back then. That Rachel Clarke is really a femme fatale. She chased after me for three days and three nights. I barely escaped.” While saying that, Rick took out a secret file from his pocket and handed it to Philip. He said, “I found this in the safe of that castle. You’ll be interested in it.” Philip took the secret file from Rick, gl
Rick had a hard time deciding. After thinking for a long time, he said, “Young Master, I don't know if my guess is right, but the force behind Miss Hannah seems to be connected to First Madam.” “My mother?” Philip asked, his eyes filled with horror! Rick nodded and pondered for a long time before saying, “Perhaps my guess is wrong. I’ll investigate.” Philip took a deep breath and was unable to calm down for a long time. Was it related to his mother? … Meanwhile, in District 12, Seth Larson’s mansion. Steven quickly walked in at this moment, his face full of gravity. He said to Seth, who was sitting in the living room in the middle of his disciple training, “District Master, there’s some unusual movement within the branch Clarke family.” Seth’s upper body was exposed, and his bronze skin with muscles that were on full display glinted under the light. He took a deep breath, picked up the towel next to him, and wiped the sweat from his body. He then sat on the sofa and a
Hansel laughed and said, “Master Stone, what are you afraid of? You’re one of the district masters of District 12, after all.” Tucker also laughed and said, “Master Clarke, even so, this is your Clarke family’s internal affairs. If an outsider like me intervenes and the main Clarke family takes offense, the result won’t end well for me.” Hansel fell silent. His eyes tensed as he asked, “Master Stone, are you sure you won’t help?” Tucker smiled and said, “Master Clarke, it's not that I don't want to help but this is… You should understand that I need to take care of my men. Helping the branch family at this time will pose a great risk for us. If there aren’t enough benefits for my men to risk their lives, I’m afraid I’m powerless to order them around.” At this point, Hansel naturally understood the meaning of Tucker’s words. He thought about it and said, “Master Stone, as long as you help the branch family tomorrow, not only will District 12 be yours but I’ll also give you ano
Philip gently pulled Wynn into his arms and said seriously, “Wynnie, don’t worry. I’m here. I’ll never let anyone do anything to hurt you, Mila, or Nelson.” Wynn hugged Philip’s sturdy back from behind, raised her head with a happy smile, and said, “Yeah, I believe you.” On the side, Mila sat on the sofa with her legs stretched out and snickered softly as she said, “Tee-hee, Dad and Mom are hugging. I want Dad to hug me too.” Philip let go of Wynn, turned around, and picked up Mila from the sofa with outstretched hands. He scratched her little nose and said, “You little imp.” Half an hour later, Philip walked out with Wynn and Mila, while the servants pushed Nelson’s incubator. Under the escort of the heavily armed Shadow Guards, they left the residence and headed for that white castle in the center of the entire Arcadia Island. Where that white castle was located, there was a huge and magnificent memorial hall shared by the main and branch Clarke families. Any major event
As soon as Wade spoke these words, the entire small square became quiet. All members of the branch family looked at the members of the main family with hostile eyes. Hansel added, “Wade, I think Philip simply doesn’t take the Clarke family seriously, let alone the ancestors! For a guy like that, he made the right decision to leave the Clarke family seven years ago! By coming back now, he's a disgrace to us! He even brought home some cheap trash from outside, which is even more shameful!” As Hansel said this, the members of the branch family started making comments filled with ridicule and sarcasm once more. “That’s right! Philip is not worthy to appear at the ancestor commemoration ceremony! In my opinion, a wrongdoer like him should be kicked out of the family!” “I heard that he broke Young Master Levi’s legs yesterday. Such a brutal man should be imprisoned in the dungeon and subjected to the Clarke family’s 108 tortures!” “What? He broke Young Master Levi’s legs? Damn it!
Many juniors from the branch family started to kick up a fuss again. More unpleasant words could be heard once more. Several juniors among them cursed Wynn and Mila the most fiercely, “Hmph, an outcast of the Clarke family brought home a sl*t and two wild dogs!” “If it were me, I’d have thrown myself into the sea long ago! What a disgrace to our Clarke family!” “I heard that Wynn Johnston’s background is quite complicated. She seems to be a descendant of the sinned blood?” A descendant of the sinned blood? For a while, people from the branch and main families who did not know Wynn’s background showed puzzled and grave expressions. Of course, this was arranged by Wade in advance as he bided his time and released a small signal first. “What is a descendant of the sinned blood?” someone started asking. A person stood in the branch family said with a sneer, “Being a descendant of the sinned blood is something atrocious. Let's put it this way, Wynn Johnston is the Clarke fam
The two slaps from Philip were very imposing, and the old man was stunned for a long time without reacting. Upon seeing Philip’s tall and upright figure, especially the faint coldness flowing from his body, many members of the branch family shrank back and dared not say anything for a while. As for the old man who was slapped twice, his eyes were red at this moment. His cheeks quickly grew swollen and were burning hot with pain! With round eyes, he glared at Philip, raised his hand, and scolded, “You arrogant brat, how dare you act so boldly in the ancestral memorial hall? I’m the old master of the branch family, your elder! You have no respect for the Clarke family rules at all! Men, come here and take this arrogant brat down! I’ll bring him in front of the ancestors’ memorial plaques and make him kneel and apologize to me!” Thud! In an instant, four of the branch family’s guards from the surrounding area came over with guns. Philip stood in place, his icy gaze sweeping ov
Suddenly, a sharp and angry shout resounded like tolling bells. “Presumptuous! Does the branch family have any respect for me, Tim Clarke, at all? How dare you point guns at my nephew here? Do you want to die?” Tim stood with his hands behind his back at the front of the family. Without turning around, his eyes were gazing straight ahead at the flower stands and flower wreaths in front. As soon as he finished speaking, the people of the main family behind him made a path for him. Then, Tim turned around while dressed in a black suit. He had his hands behind his back and walked steadily toward Wade and the others with chills all over his body. He swept his gaze over the guards of the branch family who raised their guns and said, “Put your guns down or be killed!” Seeing Tim’s appearance, the guards of the branch family looked at each other but still waited for Wade’s order. Wade chuckled, turned to Tim, and said, “Tim, they’re the guards of our branch family. Now that I'm
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
The hooded man was very interested in Rabbit and wanted to make contact with him to find out more about him. He quickly found Philip’s house and was surprised to find that it was surrounded by a barrier that blocked all his perceptions, which made him conflicted. It was not a place he could enter at will. He felt some energy fluctuations from formations too. If he was not mistaken, entering this place would be dangerous for him. After much deliberation, he turned around and left without staying any longer. His visit here was enough to verify his guess. Since Philip could come up with such a powerful formation and barrier, he was certainly a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, Philip was not someone he could deal with so easily. As for Rabbit, the hooded man was not bothered by him at all. He just wanted to know how Philip subdued such a powerful pet. The hooded man had dealt with many monster beasts in the past but failed to subdue any. He had even suffered badly un
“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
