Wade looked at Roger and said, “Patriarch, you set the rules regarding the sinned blood of the Lovelace family back then. Anyone who sees the sinned blood of the Lovelace family must kill and eradicate them! Do you want to break this rule today? If so, are you still qualified to be the head of the Clarke family?” “Outrageous!” Horace shouted angrily and scolded, “How dare the branch family speak to the family head like this? Are you trying to rebel?” Wade laughed disdainfully and said to Horace, “Horace, at this stage, what’s the point of saying such things? Today, I’m here to set the record straight. I’ve arranged 10,000 guards outside, and they’re enough to overturn the entire ancestral hall. All of you here are within my reach! Today, either strip Philip of his status as the heir according to the family rules or punish the sinned blood and the two wild dogs according to the family head’s rules!” While saying that, Wade looked coldly at Mila, who was hiding behind Wynn. “Wh
The appearance of this group of 12 fully armed warriors instantly attracted the attention of the entire Clarke family because they had never seen such soldiers or guards before. Just the killing intent and chills radiating from them were enough to tell that this squad of 12 might be even stronger than a 100-member squad of the Clarke family! This was a cavalry built from a battlefield of life and death! There was a sense of soaring invincibility! 12 people of the Sovereign Legion approached the ancestral memorial hall. Each of the six men in front carried a black and gold wooden box in their hands. They passed through the crowd, walked up to Philip, and placed the black and gold wooden boxes in a row. Then, with a flick of their armored robes, these 12 people knelt in front of Philip on one knee. They bowed their heads and shouted in a muffled voice, “The 12 Legion of the Sovereign at your command.” Sovereign? It was just a simple phrase but all members of the Clarke
This was his trump card, but now that his confidants were killed, it also meant that his connection with the 10,000 guards outside was severed! In that case, what else could he use to blackmail the main Clarke family and force their hand? Had Philip predicted this long ago? Was there a traitor among his people? Philip chuckled as his eyes swept over Lex Clarke standing among the branch family members. Lex was impassive as he stood among the crowd. He was a spectator from the beginning to the end. This was what Lex had to prove himself. Philip accepted it. Then, Philip walked up to Wade who was furious but flustered. He said coldly, “Wade, now that you’ve lost your greatest support, what do you think I’ll do to you?” Although Wade was very angry at the moment, he soon calmed down and said with a sneer, “Philip boy, do you think that I’d be afraid of you just because you killed a few confidants of mine? Today, the main family must give a statement to the branch family.
A blood petition! This was a serious matter! The four elders of the law enforcement hall jointly filed a petition written in blood, and this was done during the ancestor commemoration ceremony. It was enough to show the determination of the branch family this time. Thump! The four elders of the law enforcement hall from the branch family knelt in front of the ancestral hall at this moment. They held the blood petition in their hands above their heads and announced aloud, “The four elders of the branch family jointly present a blood petition requesting the patriarch to punish Philip according to the family rules! Revoke his status as the heir and convict the sinned blood of the Lovelace family to wipe them out!” With this announcement, the four elders of the branch family prostrated on the floor and did not get up for a long time. In everyone’s sight, the blood petition was so eye-catching and alarming. Wade lay on the floor with a sneer on his face. He looked at Philip an
The Black Gold Rose generally never appeared in Clarke Manor because it was an external battle cavalry. With great military exploits all over the world, they were an invincible existence! Their presence was a signal. There would be a massacre! For the Black Gold Rose to appear in the Clarkes’ ancestral hall, it posed a bad foreboding. Morrow even thought of retreating. Black Gold Rose escorted Philip, Wynn, Mila, and Nelson in the incubator to stand in the hall. Wynn wanted to struggle. She could not figure out why her father-in-law was doing this. Was he really going to carry out the so-called trial and punishment upon her and Philip? Thus, Wynn immediately shouted, “Father-in-law, it has nothing to do with Philip. It’s my fault that this is all happening. I'm willing to bear all the consequences.” Philip glanced sideways at Wynn, whose face was full of tears. She was still thinking on his behalf until now. With a gentle smile, Philip whispered to Wynn, “Wynnie, it's
Faced with the grand elder’s inquiry, Morrow bowed his head and said, “Grand Elder, there’s still Wynn Johnston, the descendant of the sinned blood, and the two sinful children. They’re the enemies of the Clarke family and the entire world. They shouldn't live in this world. I also request to kill them per the family rules!” As soon as he said that, the entire small square was filled with chills and a murderous aura! This did not come from Roger or the grand elder. Instead, it radiated from Philip! With a face like a demon god and a voice like the roar of a dragon, he said angrily to Morrow, “Morrow Clarke, don’t take a mile when you’re given an inch!” Morrow knelt on the floor and said, “No, I’m not. I'm thinking of the Clarke family. If these descendants of the sinned blood are not put to death, I and all members of the branch family are willing to kneel in this ancestral hall forever!” “You’re courting death!” Philip shouted angrily and immediately pulled out the golde
Morrow trembled all over as he knelt there, bowing and shouting, “I have a clear conscience. Everything is for the sake of the Clarke family!” “For the Clarke family? Is that your reason? For the sake of the Clarke family, you’re forcing my hand! You forced me to strip the heir of his position and now, you’re forcing me to punish my daughter-in-law and two grandchildren with my hands. Does the branch family think doing these is for the sake of the Clarke family?” Roger shouted angrily, and the muffled thunder in the sky exploded. This sound was amplified infinitely and resounded through the sky! Morrow and other members of the branch family suddenly panicked. Roger’s prestige was too strong. “Patriarch, I only have the Clarke family in mind. I hope you can severely punish—” Morrow continued to shout. However, before he could finish his words, Roger waved his hand and shouted, “If you dare to speak another word, beware of getting killed!” Boom! A blast of thunder fell
50 percent chance of success was Morrow’s biggest estimation. Even if the 10,000 guards from the branch family were not strong enough, they were enough to flood the entire Clarke Manor. Morrow had planned this long ago. Without Roger’s mobilization, the Dragon Knights would never be deployed. It would be difficult to win just relying on the Black Gold Rose alone. Roger looked at Morrow coldly exhaled lightly, and said, “Morrow, I'll give your branch family one last chance to stop.” Hearing that, Morrow chuckled and said, “Patriarch, I don’t know what it means to stop. I’m only thinking for the sake of the Clarke family. Philip doesn’t deserve to be the heir of the Clarke family, while Wynn and the kids are offspring of the sinned blood. If this spreads out, the Clarke family will become the enemy of the whole world. We’ll be doomed! To prevent this from happening, I hope you can destroy the enemy by the roots!” “Well said! Are you asking me to kill my granddaughter and gran
“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
