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
All the branch family members who knelt in the rain felt the cold blades on their necks and wailed. Many people started to bow and shout. “Patriarch, I’m not involved in this. I just… Forgive me!” “Patriarch, don't kill us. We were wrong! Please forgive us!” For a while, many branch family members got up and were quickly brought to the side by the Black Gold Rose soldiers. In the middle of the ancestral hall, only a few remaining branch family members were still kneeling upright. They still exclaimed, “All for the Clarke family!” Seeing that the door of the ancestral hall was about to close, Morrow’s tears slipped from the corners of his eyes and mixed with the rainwater. Was everything over? Was this how it would end today? After such a long preparation, 10,000 guards of the branch family turned out to be no match for the Black Gold Rose cavalry under Roger Clarke! It turned out that Roger had been on guard against the branch family as early as ten years ago. H
Wynn looked at the secret file with red and wet eyes. She dared not believe it, nor did she want to believe it. However, many facts were right before her eyes. She stumbled toward Morrow and took the confidential file. Philip stood aside with dark eyes and shouted, “Wynnie…” He was about to walk to Wynn’s side when Roger said with mixed emotions behind him, “Phil, she should find out the truth about certain matters. Everything happened because of my mistake, and I should resolve it.” Philip turned to Roger in confusion and said, “What right do you have to resolve the case back then? She’s my woman, and I’ll protect her.” With that said, Philip walked in the rain, took a big black umbrella, and stood next to Wynn. He shielded her from the rain. Under the umbrella, Wynn's hands trembled as she held the wet confidential file. She burst into tears and slumped kneeling on the ground. This confidential file clearly recorded her birth. She was the surviving child of the Lo
Gunshot! Philip stood in the rain, soaked to the skin. His suit was dripping, as were the bangs on his forehead. He held up the golden Desert Eagle with the muzzle smoking. Many members of the Clarke family were indeed shocked by the shooting scene they just witnessed in the rain. That was because Philip had really fired at Morrow! “Argh!” A miserable scream echoed loudly. Morrow fell in the rain. He was shot in the leg, and bright red instantly dyed the rainwater around him. He clutched his thigh, wailing and howling. He roared at Philip. “Philip boy, kill me if you have the guts! Do it!” “Do you think I dare not?” Philip’s eyes were cold, and the Desert Eagle in his hand burst with sparks! Three shots were fired into Morrow’s chest. Instantly, blood gushed from Morrow’s mouth and he fell on his back in the rain. The cold rain hit his face. At the last moment, he coughed up blood and said with a miserable laugh, “Roger Clarke, until the day you die, you’ll
The small square raged with overwhelming pressure. Roger and Christian locked eyes with each other. The might that surged through their bodies was enough to overturn everything here. Roger looked at Christian and said, “Your request is too much. You should change it.” Christian chuckled and said, “Roger, I only have this request. You also know that he’s an important part of that plan. Since that battle, your dragon heart was damaged, so why don’t you fulfill my wish? As long as I get his source of origin, I’ll be the next leader of the Clarke family. I’ll even surpass you. When the time comes, the Clarke family can go further and higher under my leadership. I can lead the whole family to cross that door and go to the other side, so why are you hesitating?” Hearing this, Roger frowned. His eyes were gloomy, and it looked like stars were floating in his eyes. He said, “You don't have that strength yet. Since you have reached half a step, you should understand what impact it’ll
Christian raised his hand and waved a grabbing motion. With his palm, he caught the lightning strike! Then, he sneered and said, “Roger, it seems you’re not the man you used to be anymore! Has your strength deteriorated to this level? If that’s the case, I’ll seize the position of the Clarke family head with my own hands!” With that said, Christian stepped forward and flung a lightning palm strike at Roger! Sizzle! The mighty sound of lightning with raging waves of energy engulfed the entire place! Each corner was full of blue and white lightning! The spectacle was as great as the end of the world! The surrounding ten-mile radius was filled with the might of lightning! From a high altitude, one could see the power of lightning raging the sky above the quaint ancestral hall in Clarke Manor on the highest Zion Mountain. Such vast energy fluctuations were naturally captured by the satellite detectors in space. In an instant, all the alarms in the energy detection depa
Hearing this, Alliance Master Yarn turned his head. His eyes were profound as if he could see the situation on Arcadia Island that was hundreds of nautical miles away. After a while, he asked, “I have something I don't understand. I wonder if you can clarify my doubt.” Court Master Landon turned his head as a glint of light flashed in his cold eyes. He said with a smile, “Please ask away. If I know, I’ll answer.” Alliance Master Yarn nodded, looked around, and asked, “Who tampered with the target plan of the Lovelace family’s conviction back then?” Hearing this, Court Master Landon's eyes turned cold as the corners of his mouth curled up. He twisted his head, his eyes gazing straight ahead. He exhaled loudly and said, “You already have the answer in your mind, so why ask?” Alliance Master Yarn looked at Court Master Landon’s side profile before he laughed and said, “Are you afraid to answer my question?” Court Master Landon was silent for a moment before he said, “I had my
A combat group of 12 soldiers in black iron armor drove three black combat vehicles and headed straight to Clarke Manor. In just over ten minutes, Steven and his people arrived at the entrance of Clarke Manor. At this moment, the highest level of martial law was already executed within Clarke Manor. Steven got out of the car and took out the token of the master of District 12. He showed it to the guard at the entrance and said loudly, “This is a gift for Young Master Philip Clarke from District Master Larson. I hope you can send it to him immediately. Don’t delay!” The entrance guards glanced at the iron box behind Steven. It was carved with dragons and phoenixes and locked securely. It looked extremely dangerous. The black iron box looked as if there was a savage beast trapped inside. After looking at it, the guards quickly mobilized four people to carry the huge black iron box straight to the ancestral hall. Ten minutes later, four guards stood at the door of the an
“You want the merfolk's pearl, but the fish creatures haven't given it to me yet. I don’t have it right now. Even if you defeat me, what’s the point? The fish creatures can run with it while you’re distracted. It’ll be a waste of time for you to fight me,” Philip said. He was really worried about Tom’s IQ. He could understand if he attacked Moby instead. “The thing is in Moby’s hand, but you want to attack me instead of dealing with him. Is it because you can't get the woman of your dreams?” Philip had a sharp tongue, and Tom trembled at his words. Philip dared to humiliate him like this. However, Philip had a point. He should deal with Moby instead. He was just annoyed that his beloved Marina liked Philip. Tom was infuriated by Philip’s words and attacked him. He had to kill Philip at all costs and show Marina the scene of Philip's defeat. The two were quickly engaged in a fight, and Tom moved fluidly in this disgusting swamp. Philip maintained a superior position and foug
“This is an agreement between me and Chief Moray. It’s not up to you.” After saying this, Tom took out a sharp dagger from his pocket. Philip thought Tom was going to attack him, but Tom used the dagger to cut himself instead, leaving everyone wondering what he was doing. After injuring himself, he took out a bottle of potion and poured it on the wound, which healed in a few seconds. Philip was surprised by the rapid recovery. The potion had to be a treasure. At this time, everyone realized that Tom's strength was increasing rapidly to the point of being daunting. Aslan stepped back cautiously, surprised by this unexpected turn. He had always been a fearless person, but he felt a sense of oppression from this weak person. It proved that the potion was powerful enough to pose a threat to him. Thinking of this, Aslan scowled and reached out for Philip, hoping that Philip could take care of it. After all, he and Lyle were equally strong. If he could not deal with Tom, Lyle
“Tom, if you can take care of this matter, I’ll give you Marina’s hand in marriage. I’m sure the two of you can work together to lead the merfolk to glory.” Everyone was shocked, including Tom, who was in disbelief. No one expected that Moray would ask Tom to marry Marina. Even the fish creatures were shocked. Although they were enemies, they knew that Marina was the merfolk's holy maiden. Tom had been protecting the holy maiden over the years, so he was a servant without a doubt. It was ironic to hear that a servant was worthy enough to marry the holy maiden. Marina was shocked and subconsciously glanced at Philip, who was indifferent about it. After all, it was the merfolk's affairs, nothing to do with him. Philip would not bother even if Marina had to marry an old man. “However, you must prove your ability before you can marry my daughter. If you get the item, I’ll hand her to you.” Moray had been seriously injured before this and could no longer fight normally. The merf
Philip took out a small bottle of elf water from his pocket and handed it to Moby. He wanted to see what the ugly creature would look like after taking the precious elf water. Moby was shocked to see Philip handing him some elf water and felt unworthy of it. At Philip’s insistence, he walked over and respectfully took the small bottle of elf water from Philip. He took a sip cautiously and wanted to marvel at its wonderful taste. Philip felt exasperated at Moby’s caution. Moby probably had no idea how Lyle and the others treated the water. They not only used it to bathe but also drank it casually like normal drinking water. Marina and the others watched with envy. They knew how precious the elf water was, so they were shocked by Philip’s generosity in giving it to the humble fish creatures. Even the merfolk found it difficult to get some elf water, but these lowly creatures got it. No one would be happy at this scene. Philip glanced at everyone. The other fish creatures st
Surprisingly, things turned out this way. However, Marina believed that Philip would not do things to the extreme. There had to be a reason for his actions. “Philip, you promised us first. Are you going to go back on your word and work with the fish creatures instead? They're up to no good. You’ll regret it if you work with them!” Tom was nervous, afraid that he had messed things up. It would be over if Philip decided not to help them anymore. He could already imagine how angry Moray would be. “I only promised to take care of the fish creatures. Now that they've surrendered to me, it’s the same as fulfilling my promise. Do you think otherwise? Now that it’s done, I have no obligation to help you any longer. That’s all I have to say.” Philip shook his head helplessly at the nervous Marina. He thought it was a pity. Marina was a nice person, but she was too young and innocent, full of unnecessary fantasies in her mind. Maybe things would not have turned out this way if she had
“I’m surrendering to the humans, not the merfolk. Who do you think you are?” The chief of the fish creatures knew that he stood a chance to survive if he surrendered to the humans, but they would be dead if they gave in to the merfolk. The merfolk hated their existence and could not wait to kill them. On the other hand, the humans did not have a big grudge against them. At most, he would allow Katie to stab them a few times. Moray scowled at his words and trembled with anger. “Fine, remember your words. You’ll pay the price for what you said today.” He turned away from the chief of the fish creatures' arrogant face and glanced at Philip instead. In his opinion, Philip should at least fulfill his promise. However, Philip paid no heed to him at all. “You should know what I want. I won’t take action if you hand it over of your own accord. Although you’re ugly, at least you never messed with me,” Philip said with a smile. The fish creatures could not refute the fact that they
Tom watched this scene smugly. His plan worked. Although he failed to get Katie’s agreement, he managed to sow discord between Marina and Philip. He could proceed with the next step. Marina was very upset now, so he had to seize the opportunity to intervene. Katie was the center of this fight. It was time for a battle to the death. Philip watched from the sidelines. He would only step forward to provide help when Katie needed it. Otherwise, he would simply keep an eye on her. He wanted to take the opportunity to train her as an ace up his sleeve. The fish creatures were fully prepared to fight Philip and the others, but they had no idea that they were so strong. They thought that the humans had ordinary bodies and could not resist their poison. The fish creatures' venom should be lethal for humans, making them unable to resist. However, these humans seemed indestructible. They had no way to deal with them no matter how hard they tried. “What’s up with these people's bodies?
Tom was counting on Philip to help them deal with the fish creatures. He thought that he could sit back and reap the benefits, but things were not as simple as imagined. Philip would not fall for it so easily. Philip glanced at Tom, disappointed by the eagerness in his eyes. He did not expect that the simple and honest young man would show such a side. At this time, Tom glanced at Katie. He wanted to take the opportunity to win Katie over to his side. “Katie, just look at the ugly side of these people. I begged Philip to bring you to this world back then, so I’m obligated to protect you. Philip is up to no good. I want to take responsibility for what I did back then,” Tom said righteously. Tom felt smug about it, but it was quickly replaced by tension and worry. Katie looked at Tom in confusion, thinking that maybe he was a little unhinged. “You didn’t beg Philip to take me in back then. I was the one who begged him to take me away. “If you hadn't fled to our fishing villag
Moray glanced at Philip with disdain and anger, blaming Philip for everything. He would not have suffered this humiliation if not for Philip. “No matter what, I’ll take care of you right now. Putting aside whether I’m working with humans or not, you’ll die as long as you can’t defeat me.” Moray put up a tough front, feeling annoyed about this. He was embarrassed because of Philip. He vowed to cut off all ties with Philip later and never let anyone know that they worked with humans. Aslan was annoyed by Moray’s unpleasant words. “What do you mean, old man? You behaved differently when you wanted to use us and changed your attitude after using us. Are you burning bridges now?” Aslan with his hot temper knew that the best way to deal with Moray was to condemn him. Moray scowled, surprised that someone dared to complain about him. “What do you mean? Do you think I'm a pushover? You used us to help you deal with the fish creatures, and you want to cut ties with us right after th
