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
“I didn’t! It wasn’t me!” Cynthia was extremely anxious and full of tears. She kept denying it. However, no one believed her. Silva glared at Cynthia angrily before he turned to Butler Berry. He squeezed out a smile and said, “Butler Berry, this could be a misunderstanding.” “A misunderstanding? The evidence is right here! What misunderstanding could there be?” Butler Berry was full of anger. He stared at Silva fiercely and said, “Patriarch Larson, the Larson family must give the Berry family an explanation for this matter! Otherwise, we won’t let you off!” Hearing this, Silva burst into a cold sweat! With gloomy eyes, he turned to Cynthia and bellowed, “Men, take her down for me!” Swoosh! Two of the Larson family’s guards stepped forward and grabbed Cynthia from the back. Bang! A guard kicked Cynthia behind her knee, and the delicate Cynthia immediately knelt on the ground! She struggled desperately and shouted, “Uncle Silva, it's not me. It's really not me. I
However, Cynthia shook her head as she endured the severe pain. With bloodshot eyes and a bleeding mouth, she looked at her elderly father and said, “Dad, I didn’t do it, so what mistake did I make? I won’t admit it!” Bang! “Argh!” Finally, Cynthia could hold back no longer and cried out in misery. Seeing Cynthia refusing to admit her mistake, Silva shouted, “Hit her hard! Hit her until she admits her mistake!” As for Zinnia, she stood in the crowd with a sneer, her heart full of joy. ‘Kill that little b*tch!’ At this moment, seven or eight black Maybachs quickly stopped at the entrance of Larson Manor. Philip got out of the car and heard screams in the manor from afar. Cynthia Larson? Immediately, Philip’s face went grave as he quickly ran over. However, the Larson family’s guards at the door blocked his way and said, “I'm sorry, you can't enter without an invitation!” “Get lost!” Philip bellowed, raised his leg, and kicked the two guards away. Then, he bar
Philip’s cold remark resounded throughout the audience, and everyone fell silent. Hiss! Everyone gasped. This young man who barged in randomly was so imposing and arrogant! What did he just say? He dared to scold that pampered and domineering Zinnia Larson! At this moment, Zinnia covered her burning cheek. Hearing Philip’s words, she was taken aback before she pointed at Philip’s nose angrily and shouted, “What bullsh*t are you talking about? What uncle? How dare you take advantage of me? I won’t spare you for this! Guards, take this bastard down for me. Break his arms and tear his mouth apart!” Zinnia was furious, and her eyes burned with anger. However, Zinnia received another slap in response! Smack! This slap resounded throughout the wedding banquet venue again! Hiss! Everyone could not help but gasp again. They were totally overwhelmed by the aura of the man who barged in! How overbearing could he be? He dared to slap Zinnia twice! Who the hell was th
Fennel and the others walked in front of this team of fully-armed combatants. They went through the crowd and came to Philip’s side. Rat-tat! In an instant, the combatants behind Fennel also loaded their guns and aimed at the Larson family’s guards! The atmosphere became extremely tense! Everyone knew that this matter could not be resolved easily! The young man who barged into the wedding banquet venue was probably not a simple character. Several members of the Shadow Guards were in disguise and stood behind Philip, but their auras instantly overwhelmed the Larson family’s guards on the opposite side! Hanson frowned, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He gulped nervously. What a strong aura! At this moment, Philip stepped forward with a sneer. “W-What do you want?” Hanson asked hesitantly. Bang! Philip raised his leg and kicked Hanson in the chest, sending him flying several meters away before crashing heavily into a row of tables. “The Larson family i
“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
