Hearing this, Philip frowned and asked Benny, “What secret does the Larson family have?” Benny scowled, and an indescribable look of helplessness flashed in his eyes. He said, “Let the Larson family’s secret fade with time. Just remember that you’re not a match for the Larson family now. As for your father, he has no time to take care of you for the time being. The Clarke family will also not help you to take action against the Larson family easily. “This is a chess game, and every chess piece has a reason to exist. As a piece in this chess game, you shouldn’t fight for no reason but follow the arrangements of this world and walk your own path.” After Benny finished speaking, everyone frowned as if they could not understand his words. However, Philip vaguely understood Benny’s meaning. He was a pawn in this game of world chess. However, did he have to live by obeying the wishes of others? Was he willing to be this chess piece? Of course not! “Court Master Larson, you
Seeing Benny’s departing back, Philip’s expression was very solemn. Benny’s final remarks echoed in his ears. What did Benny mean? What destined person could help him with life-or-death situations? Was his trip to Mystic City in the northwest going to be that difficult? Since he could not figure it out, Philip stopped thinking about it. He turned to Hogan and the others to ask, “Do we really have to send Grandpa back?” Hogan nodded and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, I know you’re worried about the grandmaster, but he’s the symbol of the Larson family, after all. Besides, Fifth Uncle has mentioned that he’ll go to the Larson family in person. I think the grandmaster should be very safe.” Philip frowned, thought for a while, and said, “I’ll bring Grandpa back tomorrow.” … The next day, Philip’s injuries were almost healed. As Fennel had contacted someone to send the essence of life over, Philip recovered quickly. Early in the morning, Philip pushed his grandfather's w
“Grandpa, what did you say just now?” Philip asked. The grandmaster narrowed his eyes and said, “Brat, Mystic City in the northwest isn’t a place you can easily set foot in. There are a lot of secrets out there with a mix of people. It’ll be a tough battle for you to get what you want there. I have nothing to give you. I can only remind you not to go to Mystic Cave at the center of Mystic City. There’s something in there that once injured your father.” At this point, the grandmaster stopped talking. Philip was already too shocked to speak. Was Grandpa faking it? However, after a while, Grandpa had forgotten what he said and asked Philip cheerfully, “Who are you? Why are you here?” Philip frowned. He accompanied his grandfather for a while and left the yard. Before Philip left, a nanny outside the yard left quickly and went to Silva’s residence. “What did you say? The secret vault is in Mystic City in the northwest?” Silva stared at the nanny kneeling on the ground, his
In the afternoon, the people of the Berry family finally arrived in Fernvale. The leader was the third young master of the Berry family, Mick Berry. As soon as he arrived in Fernvale, he acted in an arrogant and domineering manner. When the Larson family’s guards went to greet him, they were reprimanded, saying that the pomp and splendor were lacking, which caused Mick to lose face! Wherever he went, Mick was used to being welcomed by a huge crowd, complete with live broadcasts by various media such as TV stations and so on. The streets would also be full of women yelling his name. When Silva heard this, he was exasperated and asked with a frown, “How long will it take?” “It won’t be long now, Patriarch. But the young master went to Tulip Club first and will only come to the Larson family once he’s done. I'm afraid it will take a while,” a servant replied. “Tulip Club?” Silva frowned upon hearing this. Tulip Club was a well-known entertainment club in Fernvale that was
Clatter! The Larson family’s guards were driven out of the private room. … Larson Manor, central hall. Bang! Silva smashed the tea set in anger and shouted, “Mick Berry is too arrogant! He’s just the third young master of the Berry family. How dare he treat my Larson family’s guards like this?! He doesn’t respect the Larson family at all!” Zayn was also full of anger and said, “Silva, do you really want to invite him in person? Do you think the Berry family is making things difficult for us on purpose and wants to make us bow our heads to them?” Hmph! Silva snorted coldly and said with a wave, “Let’s go! I want to see how high and mighty this Third Young Master Berry can be!” After that, Silva and his people headed to Tulip Club. Meanwhile, in Tulip Club. Philip, Fennel, Cynthia, and the others also walked in. Everyone said that Tulip Club was the place to visit in Fernvale, so Philip wanted to take a look after some thought. He planned to build several entert
Philip sneered and said, “Oh? So you’re a member of the Berry family and the third young master too.” Hearing this, Mick immediately felt a burst of confidence. He held his chin up, clutched his hand, and said, “That's right! I’m the third young master of the Berry family, and my eldest brother is Stanley Berry! If you dare to mess with me, you’re doomed! “However, seeing that you didn’t know, I can let you go, but you have to kneel and apologize to me, break your arms, and crawl out from here on your knees! “Also, I’ve taken a fancy to the woman next to you! Let me play with her for a month and I’ll return her to you after that!” After Mick finished speaking, his face was full of evil smiles! There was no woman he fancied that he could not get his hands on! An ignorant kid in Fernvale actually dared to make a move against him. He was simply tired of living! When he returned, he must inform his father and eldest brother to manage Fernvale properly! These people were too
The general manager sized Philip up seriously before he reprimanded, “Who are you? Do you know where this is? How dare you cause trouble in Tulip Club and hurt Third Young Master Berry? Guards, tie them up quickly and let Third Young Master Berry deal with them!” Philip frowned, his cold eyes falling on the manager. He asked solemnly, “You don’t even know head or tail about this matter, yet you want to tie us up?” “Hmph! What else should I do? I think this woman must have taken a fancy to Third Young Master Berry’s wealth and wanted to hook up with him, but you guys jumped out to threaten him and even hurt his people!” That manager spouted nonsense. “That’s right! This b*tch seduced me in the washroom just now!” Mick shouted at this moment. Many, many people from other private rooms had stepped outside to watch the excitement at this moment. Cynthia explained anxiously, “I didn’t! He’s the one who tried to drag me into his private room!” “Hmph! Is Third Young Master Berry
Mick was extremely furious at this moment, but seeing so many people on the other side, he was also very scared! “I’m sorry. I was wrong. I won’t do this again.” Mick had no choice but to kneel and apologize to Philip and Cynthia. However, Mick was very indignant! He had never been insulted like this before! ‘Just you wait! I’ll definitely take revenge on you! Mark my words!’ The chill in the corners of Mick’s eyes did not escape Philip’s notice. He sneered and said, “Third Young Master Berry, are you thinking about how to seek revenge on me in the future?” Mick was taken aback and said in a panic, “N-No, I wouldn’t dare.” Hehe. Philip was unconcerned and said, “You’re welcome to take revenge on me at any time.” After that, Philip turned around and left with Cynthia, Fennel, and the others. The mood was ruined, so there was no need to stay. Coincidentally, as Philip and the others were leaving, they bumped into Silva and his party who just entered the door. Wh
“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
