At the same time, the branch Clarke family on Arcadia Island, inside the chieftain’s residence. Levi Clarke was sitting on the chieftain’s throne at the moment. Below him were all the newly selected elders and talents of the branch family. A guard walked in and bowed to Levi, who had been talking non-stop about the branch family’s plans for the next three years that he came up with. The guard walked up to him and spoke into his ear. Levi’s expression changed rapidly before he frowned and said, “Okay, I got it.” After saying that, he glanced at the heads of the branch family below and said coldly, “The meeting is adjourned. Uncle Henry and Uncle Saul, please stay behind. I have something to discuss with you.” Since Wade was locked up in the dungeon, the person in charge of the branch family’s guards was replaced by Wade’s son, Henry Clarke. Allen’s lineage was naturally replaced by his son, Saul Clarke. The two stayed behind and looked at Levi, who was sitting in the chie
Chloe walked in with grimness in her eyes. She glanced at the villa before her eyes fell on Philip and asked, “Why? Can't I visit my goddaughter and godson?” Philip frowned and looked at Chloe, who was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed. Then, he silently poured a glass of water for Chloe and said, “Just say what you have to say.” Chloe looked at Philip and said with a small smile, “Philip, is it necessary for you to be so distant from me now? Can’t we even pretend to be good friends?” Philip inhaled and said, “You should understand that I’m married with two kids. I love Wynn. These are the facts that won’t change.” Chloe’s eyes dimmed. After a moment of silence, she said, “You really won't consider me?” Philip glanced at Chloe's bright eyes and was about to say no when Chloe seemed to have expected his answer. She quickly laughed and interrupted, “Okay, I know what you’re going to say. Don't say it. I understand.” Then, Chloe seemed to hold back the tears in her e
“Avis Club?” Philip was puzzled. Chloe raised her eyebrow and said with a laugh, “You should know the owner of Avis Club. Her name is Yana Young. Goodbye, then.” With that said, Chloe left the villa. On this side, Philip’s face darkened. Did Yana contact Wynn? With that thought, he quickly dialed Wynn’s number but it went unanswered. A sense of foreboding suddenly appeared. Without further ado, Philip hurried to Beacon Group. At this moment, scattered files were all over Wynn’s desk. She stood in front of the large French windows with a gloomy face and her arms crossed over her chest. There was disbelief and anger in her eyes. Boom! The door of the chairwoman's office was pushed open as Philip rushed over in a hurry. Panting heavily, he shouted, “Wynnie…” Then, his eyes fell on the information on the desk. He walked over, picked up a few copies, and glanced at them. His eyes suddenly showed a deep chill. He looked at Wynn who had her back turned to him and explain
Philip’s eyes flickered with killing intent! Yana Young! As expected, this woman was up to no good! Philip left Beacon Group and headed to Avis Club, wanting to seek Yana for an explanation. However, when Philip arrived at the entrance of Avis Club, he found that the club was already closed. He tried to dial Yana’s number but it went unanswered. He had been set up by this woman! With anger in his heart, Philip quickly dialed George’s number and said coldly, “Issue a global kill order for Yana Young!” George immediately replied respectfully, “Young Lord, I’ll arrange it right away.” After hanging up the phone, George broke out in a cold sweat. He had just finished arranging the main family’s guards, and now there was a kill order. The young lord was really too busy. Soon, the Clarke family of Arcadia Island issued a global kill order and the target was an extremely charming woman. At once, all the world's active assassin organizations got to work in secret. Amo
At the sight of this person, Yana bowed and said respectfully, “Godfather.” The old man hummed, sat on the sofa, looked at Yana, and asked, “How are the preparations going?” Yana quickly made a cup of tea, handed it to Sade, and said, “Godfather, the preparations are almost complete. Philip will go abroad within these two days, and Riverdale will be free. When that happens, it’ll be a good time for us to strike.” Sade took a sip of tea, nodded, looked at Yana quite fondly, and said, “You’re the person I chose, the pawn I sent to the Lovelace family, and the one I single-handedly placed in the Alliance. You have suffered all these years. When this matter is over, I’ll give you your freedom.” Hearing this, a deeply hidden glint of excitement flashed in Yana’s eyes, but it soon dimmed. She knelt in front of Sade and said with a bow, “As long as you need me, I’m willing to offer myself, including my life.” Sade nodded with satisfaction and asked, “What did the Lovelace family s
After the person caught the pouch, a faint trace of arrogance flashed in his eyes. Then, his figure turned into a black shadow as he disappeared into the mountains. Soon, several guards rushed out from the villa and hurried to the place where the accident happened. Seeing the three guards on the ground with their necks slashed open, their faces were full of shock! “Report to the boss immediately. We’ve lost the pouch!” Soon, Yana, who was in the main hall of the villa, received a report from the servants. She jumped up at once, smashed many things, and said angrily, “Damn it! Who was it?” The captain of the guards kneeling on the floor replied, “Looking at the wounds on the bodies, they must have died after getting slashed on their throats! Such speed, strength, and accuracy… As far as I know, something like this can only be done by the Seven Swordsmen of Fusha.” “The Seven Swordsmen of Fusha? Why would someone from Fusha appear here?” Yana reacted immediately, her expr
Philip immediately reacted and quickly asked, “Do you know where they went?” Mindy replied, “I think they went to Golden City to attend some party. I’m not quite sure either. Didn’t Wynn tell you?” Philip frowned and assured Mindy that everything was okay before he quickly left Beacon. He contacted Theo to get someone to send him to Golden City. Shane had found Wynn and brought her to Golden City with the excuse of attending a party. There must be some conspiracy here! Theo personally drove his Maybach and picked Philip up to go to Golden City. At the same time, Philip also contacted the manpower arranged by the Clarke family in Golden City through George. They quickly locked on the target. A global business event that involved businesses and industries from all over the world, as well as affluent families was going to be held at the largest and most luxurious Zodiac Palace in Golden City. However, according to the information from George, this event was a party only on t
The Lovelace family? Giada looked at Shane with a frown as many thoughts crossed her mind. Then, she suddenly pursed her lips and smiled. Reaching out her hand, she said, “Hello, Young Master Lovelace.” Shane glanced at Giada’s outstretched hand and said with a sneer, “There’s no need. I have my affairs to deal with today. I don’t need your company.” His words made Giada a little unhappy. For the party at Zodiac Palace tonight, her Wallis family of Golden City was the host, the initiator, and the executor. How dare Shane Lovelace treat her with such an attitude? The Lovelace family was amazing, indeed! This was a family that lived in the shadows like a rat. She never expected that they would show their faces one day! “Young Master Lovelace, are you also here to attend the disciple meeting?” Giada asked with a smirk. Shane frowned, looked at Giada, and said, “Madam Wallis, you’re certainly worthy of being the young lady of the Wallis family, which is the largest fami
“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
