Smack! This slap landed on Cynthia’s face squarely. Cynthia’s cheeks turned red immediately with a conspicuous mark. Cynthia’s beautiful eyes were full of anger, but she could only glare at Zinnia without a word. Zinnia was the youngest daughter of Zayn, the favorite daughter. No matter what Zinnia did in the Larson family, no one would dare to speak up. She was a young lady born with a silver spoon in her mouth, very arrogant and domineering. Many servants in the Larson family were crippled by Zinnia in her anger. When she saw Cynthia glaring at her at this moment, Zinnia slapped her again and shouted, “How dare you stare at me?! I'll beat you to death! Let's see how you can glare at me again!” Smack! However, Zinnia’s slap fell short. The delicate arm raised in the air was grabbed by Cynthia. Zinnia shuddered, not expecting Cynthia to fight back at all. “How dare you fight back?!” Zinnia exclaimed in surprise. Cynthia pushed Zinnia’s arm away and the latte
In an instant, Zinnia was stunned. She clutched her burning cheek, looked at Cynthia in disbelief, and shouted, “How dare you hit me?!” Cynthia glared at Zinnia coldly and said, “Zinnia, don’t go too far! That slap is for your disrespect to me and my mother! If you dare to insult my mother again, I’ll never let you go!” “You won't let me go? Haha, ridiculous! For what you did just now, I can get someone to beat you to death right now!” Zinnia shrieked, “Men, get in here!” Bang! The room door was pushed open and two big guys in black suits rushed in. They were Zinnia’s personal bodyguards. They stood behind her respectfully and said, “Young Miss, what are your orders?” Zinnia pointed at Cynthia and shouted viciously, “Give her a good slapping! She dared to hit me. Let’s see if the skin on her face is thicker or my men are stronger!” “Yes!” Hearing the order, the two bodyguards stepped forward. One grabbed Cynthia from behind and the other walked up to her. With an emot
The remark was like a verdict from heaven that dashed Cynthia’s final hope. Zayn turned around to leave and said coldly to the bodyguard at the door, “Keep a close eye on her!” Watching Zayn’s departing back, Cynthia could no longer hold back and fell limply to the ground. Then, she stared at the floor blankly, sobbing in silence. Finally, her voice became louder and turned into a cry of grief that echoed throughout the villa. The bodyguards outside the door shook their heads helplessly at this moment and said with a sigh, “How pitiful.” … Half a day later, a maid came in again with food. “Young Miss, eat something quickly. If this continues, your body won’t be able to take it.” The maid was only 20 years old and was Cynthia’s personal maid. Zayn was worried that Cynthia would collapse because of her hunger strike, so he asked Cynthia’s personal maid to try to persuade her. Seeing the maid who came in, Cynthia grabbed her delicate arm and asked, “Ruth, has the lette
At this moment, in the main hall of the Larson family’s fourth branch, Hogan paced up and down non-stop. A beautiful woman sat on the sofa on the side, looking at her freshly made manicure. He said, “Master, you’ve been walking up and down the entire time. It’s making me dizzy.” Hearing that, Hogan stopped. He looked at the coquettish woman and asked, “Cynthia is going to marry into the Berry family in two days. How can I not be worried?” The beautiful woman snorted coldly and said, “Master, why do you care about that girl? It’s her blessing to marry into the Berry family! I say you should keep out of this. This is your eldest brother’s decision. If you speak up for that girl, you’ll offend him. Our fourth branch has always been weak. If you offend him, the consequences will be disastrous.” Hearing that, Hogan scowled and said, “Whatever it is, Cynthia is my daughter. Don’t I even have a say in my daughter’s marriage?” Upon hearing that, the beautiful woman said, “Daughter? She
This should be Philip's first visit to Fernvale since his mother's accident and the Larson family's withdrawal from the mainland. After getting off the plane and walking out of the airport, a row of expensive Maybachs was waiting at the door Bodyguards in black suits stood respectfully at the car doors, waiting for Philip and the others to get in the cars. This appearance instantly attracted onlookers and picture-taking. After getting in the car, Philip said to the driver, “To the Larson family.” Philip did not want to delay. He had many questions for the Larson family. The convoy headed to the Larson family. At this moment, in Larson Manor, the huge lawn was full of prominent people from Fernvale who were discussing something excitedly. “The young lady from the fourth branch of the Larson family is really lucky to marry the Berry family as a concubine.” “Of course. I heard that Cynthia Larson is an illegitimate child brought back by Hogan. Her mother is in that line
That short remark made Silva angry. After a long while, Silva nodded and said, “Okay, I give you my promise! Remember this, if you dare to do anything to the Larson family, I won’t let you and your father off!” After saying that, Silva turned around and left the room. He said coldly to the servant at the door, “Hurry up and get ready!” Cynthia looked at Silva’s departing back departure, and the chill on her face disappeared. She was merely putting on an act just now. She was actually feeling very nervous inside. After all, Silva was the head of the Larson family and a ruthless person. Right after Silva left, Zinnia appeared again. She swaggered into the room and glanced at Cynthia who was very beautifully dressed. A trace of jealousy and hatred flashed in the corner of her eyes. She said mockingly, “Cynthia, congratulations on getting married, and it’s to the Berry family too. Oh, but it’s to become a concubine. It’s not that bad, though. It’s quite suitable for your iden
Looking at the servant busy with the wedding gifts, the butler of the Berry family looked at the three masters of the Larson family with a smile. Silva and the other two brothers also waited quietly with warm smiles on their faces. When the gift list was announced, the jaws of the guests also dropped. The wedding gifts of the Larson family were not simple. They really went all out. “Butler Berry, the inventory is done. There’s no problem.” A servant in charge of the records walked over at this moment. The butler nodded before he said to Silva, “Patriarch Larson, we can pick up the bride now.” Hearing this, Silva smiled, made an inviting gesture, and said, “Butler Berry, please come this way. The bride will be out soon.” Butler Berry nodded and walked through the main entrance into the open-air wedding banquet venue with two teams of eight attendants. Meanwhile, Cynthia and her people also followed the maid out of the villa and came to the open-air wedding banquet venu
Otherwise, if word got out that the Larson family married an illegitimate child to the Berry family, it would be a disgrace to the Larson family and offend the Barry family. “Zinnia, don’t be angry. Since Cynthia is getting married, you won't see her in the future.” On the side, Zinnia’s brother and Zayn’s second son, Hanson Larson, said with a laugh. Zinnia snorted and said, “Hanson, I just feel upset!” Hanson smiled, shook his head, and said, “Just bear with it. After today, everything will be fine.” With that said, everyone's eyes returned to Cynthia. At this moment, Cynthia stood in front of Silva, and he took her hand. He even squeezed out a few tears dramatically and said, “Cynthia, when you arrive at the Berry family, you must serve your husband well. And you must listen to them. Rest assured that everything will be fine at home.” Cynthia looked at Silva, who was not her father but her uncle, without a smile on her face. She glanced around and saw her father, Hog
“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
