In the night. A silent figure snuck up in the dark and quietly approached the villa. He carried a small black bag, wore a mask, and muttered under his breath, “It's really troublesome. I’ve already formed a team to get gold tonight.” While he spoke, he used the backup key to open the villa door. Then, he sat grandly in the living room and took out food and drinks from the refrigerator with great familiarity. He was so at ease because the housekeeper in the villa worked with him. Earlier, the housekeeper had lit special aromatherapy in the villa. At this moment, he took off his mask, glanced at the time, got up, and walked to Cynthia’s bedroom. He opened the door and saw a graceful figure wrapped in a thin blanket lying sideways on the bed. That curvaceous figure made the guy gulp several times before saying, “She’s still so beautiful and her figure is so good. I really hope that such a woman can sleep with me once.” While saying that, he took out his mobile phone, t
The man’s face was being stepped on by Philip and he could not put up a fight. He begged for mercy, “Okay, I’ll listen to you. Please lift your foot.” Philip raised his foot and looked at the man on the floor who was clutching his stomach, rubbing his face, and howling. He asked coldly, “What’s your name?” The man was startled and quickly shook his head, saying, “I don’t…” “What is your name?” Philip repeated. “David Wall,” the man quickly replied for fear that the killing god in front of him would accidentally trample him to death. At this moment, David Wall finally saw the man in front of him clearly! This was Young Patriarch Clarke who crashed the Larson family’s wedding banquet this morning! Even the family head could do nothing to him. A small potato like him would be dead for sure! Thus, with no other choice, David could only listen to Philip and ask, “Young Patriarch Clarke, as long as you don’t kill me, I’ll do whatever you want.” Philip smiled with a nod and
10 million? Hearing this, David gulped. Then, he clenched his fists. Since he would die either way, why not take a chance? “Okay, Young Patriarch Clarke, I’ll do it!” David nodded in response. Philip smiled and said, “Very good. After it’s done, I’ll send you away from Fernvale.” Soon, David left. As he walked out the door, he felt as if he had just escaped from the gates of hell. He was sweating all over! He finally calmed down before he returned to the underground monitoring room. Coincidentally, another man from the day shift was standing at the door of the monitoring room at the moment, smoking a cigarette unhappily. He said, “What’s the matter with you? You were away for so long. Have you done the replacement already?” David smiled and said, “Of course, I have. I just got delayed along the way.” “Hehe, I think you were just drooling over Cynthia’s beauty. Hey, what’s wrong with your face? Did you get hit?” The man suddenly asked, instinctively becoming aler
Hearing that, Zayn frowned and said, “Since you know it’s him, why aren’t you taking action?” Silva huffed and said, “I want to, but he’s the young patriarch of the Clarke family, so how could I? Are we supposed to oppose the Clarke family?” Zayn shook his head and said with uncertainty, “Then what should we do? Are we going to just let that brat ruin our businesses?” Silva snorted and said, “Go there in person and find some people. Take care of those people with money if you can. If you run into some stubborn ones, you might as well cause some bloodshed and scare them.” Zayn nodded and said, “Okay, I'll arrange it right away.” Back to Philip’s side. He was chatting and drinking with Fennel and the others. Suddenly, someone rushed in at the door and shouted, “Young Patriarch Clarke, Silva Larson wants to see you outside.” Philip smiled and said, “The old fox is here.” “Let him in.” Soon, Silva walked in with an entourage. As soon as he entered the door, he asked wit
Speaking of this, Philip’s face darkened. On the candy wrapper that his grandfather gave him, he was warned to beware of Silva! “I didn't expect my grandfather to get this disease. I haven't visited him for so many years.” Philip said sadly and suddenly added, “Silva, it just so happens that I’m free and can bring Grandfather out today. What do you think?” Silva was taken aback for a moment. Just like a cat that got stepped on its tail, he jumped up from the sofa with an ugly scowl and said in refusal, “No way! Absolutely not!” Seeing his reaction, Philip asked, “Silva, why are you so triggered?” Hearing that, Silva frowned, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, “The old patriarch is not in good health and you know it. If you bring him out and anything happens to him, it’ll be difficult to explain. It’s best for the old patriarch to remain in the Larson family.” Hehe. Philip chuckled and said, “Is it really for the sake of my grandfather's health, or are you afraid
On this side, Philip took the grandmaster of the Larson family out and walked around the big shopping malls and playgrounds in Fernvale. Behind them, the guards arranged by Silva followed closely. Philip and the grandmaster settled down in a diner. He looked at the guards at the door and next to the dining table with a frown. Then, he smiled and said, “Here, everyone has been running around the whole day. It’s been hard on you. Sit down and eat something. I’ve reserved a few tables for you.” The guards looked at each other before turning to their captain. The captain looked at Philip and the surrounding environment before he said with a smile, “Thank you, Young Patriarch Clarke. Boys, sit down.” The guards said their thanks to Philip and sat down. Being a bodyguard was tiring work. After finally having a chance to rest, they naturally relaxed. After all, Philip and the grandmaster were in the diner right under their noses. They would not disappear into thin air. Half an
10 minutes later, half the Larson family’s guards were mobilized to search for Philip and the grandmaster all over the city. The entire Fernvale was shocked. “What? The grandmaster of the Larson family is missing? He was taken away by the young patriarch of the Clarke family?” “Whoa, this is breaking news! Isn’t the Larson family in chaos now?” “I don’t know, but half the Larson family’s guards have been mobilized to search the entire city.” Everyone in Fernvale was discussing the missing Larson grandmaster. At the Larson family, Silva paced in the hall angrily. He looked at the kneeling guard in front of him and roared, “It has been half an hour and there’s still no sign of them? What the hell are you doing? The Larson family has kept you around for so long and you couldn’t even keep an eye on two people! One of them was even an old man with one foot in the grave!” The kneeling guard prostrated on the floor and trembled all over as he said, “Patriarch, we’ve sent out a s
Cynthia walked up the spiral staircase from the first floor and saw the content broadcasted on TV. She looked at Philip, who was with the grandmaster, and asked, “Philip, do you plan to go back?” Philip stared intently at the TV screen and said after a moment of silence, “Since Silva chose to do this, he’s certain that I’ll go back because of this news.” Hearing this, Cynthia frowned and said, “But I’m worried about you. What if Uncle Silva does something to you?” Philip glanced sideways at the worried Cynthia and said, “He won’t. The Larson family isn’t bold enough to go against the Clarke family yet.” After that, he looked sideways at the old man who was dozing off. He said, “I need you to take care of Grandpa for a few days. When I’m not around, don’t get off the ship.” Cynthia knew that she could not persuade Philip. She suddenly ran over, hugged Philip, and cried softly, “Philip, you must come back safely!” Philip was startled and he froze, a little at a loss. “My ni
“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
