It was just like the family conscription order the previous time. Philip had to go through George and even asked for Giada’s advice.Even if they successfully maneuvered the military forces eventually, they would still be met with protests from the uncles and the dissatisfaction of the world-class seniors.However, now that he had the Sovereignty Seal, Philip would be able to maneuver the troops all he wanted and no one would dare say anything about it.That was Tim’s power and status.This was the power of the Clarkes.No country in the world would dare to go against the order of the owner of this thumb ring.When they saw this thumb ring, it would be as if they saw the Lord himself.Of course, there were three Sovereignty Seals.They were mutually restrictive.As for the remaining two, one was with Giada and the other one was with Philip’s biological mother, Charlotte Larson.However, Charlotte’s thumb ring was gone in that accident.Now, everyone only knew about the remai
Hudson smiled and did not say anything.The two of them parted ways, and Wynn went back to the villa. Her brain was occupied by what Hudson said just now.‘The person I keep seeing? I know him?’Philip flashed across Wynn’s mind. Could it be him?A lot of things had happened lately. When Wynn tried to connect the dots, she felt like she did not understand Philip at all.Who was her husband? What was he hiding?When she thought about that, she opened her bag and took out the bank card Philip gave her.She decided to check the bank balance tomorrow.One more thing.Wynn rummaged through her drawers and found the gold card that was imprinted with the word ‘Wallis’. It was given to her by Giada.Giada had told her that as long as she took this card to any shop with the Wallises’ name, she could find Giada.Wynn felt conflicted. It was not that she did not trust Philip, but too many things had been happening recently. She needed to verify this.Especially what Hudson had said to
When Wynn heard this, she felt uneasy. She asked, “Mom, how can you think of Philip like this? Don’t you know what kind of person Philip is?”“What kind of person is he?”Martha rolled her eyes sarcastically and said earnestly, “Wynnie, you won’t go wrong if you trust me. I went through this before. Philip is definitely a playboy. You have to prepare yourself. Let’s not talk about other things. We’ll just talk about this villa. We have to get our hands on this villa. That way, the three years you’re married to him won’t be a waste. You gave him a child and you have another one coming. If he decides to be unfaithful in the future and divorce you, what will you do?”“Mom, please leave. Can you stop spewing nonsense?”Wynn was extremely annoyed. Her mother really had the guts to say anything.After she said that, she took her clothes to the toilet.Martha was fuming. She sat in the bedroom and poured the milk into the rubbish bin. She scolded Wynn. “You thankless wench, you don’t un
After the unadorned and heavy door was pushed open, Philip turned around and saw a figure.The man had a red and golden cane with a dragon’s head. He was over 70 years old and was slightly hunchbacked. His eyes were squinted, and there was a slight smile on his face.He stood at the door like a mountain. Everyone in the hall did not dare to breathe in his presence.Even if he had restrained his temperament quite well, the reputation and talent in his bones were able to make Philip frown.Jack Wallis.The current person in charge of the Wallis family. Giada’s father.This person was extremely conceited and arrogant.He spent 40 years making the Wallises into the biggest family. They were just below the Clarkes.This person was also super ambitious.Behind Jack was a middle-aged man who looked about 40 to 50 years old. His hair was grey, and he was wearing a pair of black glasses. He held a briefcase in his hand and had a black suit on with a tie. He kept nodding his head, but i
Tim sat on the sofa and threw his head back in laughter. “Giada, you Wallises are always so impatient. How can you achieve something big in the future?”Philip sat at one side the entire time and did not utter a word.He knew his Uncle Tim was the one standing up for him now.Giada’s face fell, and the corner of her lips twitched. She wanted so badly to kill Tim now. That way, the Clarkes would have one less person in charge.However, she did not dare to.She had restraining fear about the power in Tim’s hands.Of course, Tim also had restraining fear about Giada’s power after so many years.The two of them fought openly and maneuvered covertly for so many years. Other than that, they would also restrict each other.“Alright, we’re all family.”Jack finally opened his mouth. He sat at the main sofa with both of his hands resting on his dragon head cane. He looked at Philip and asked with sudden interest, “This must be Roger’s son, Philip. He’s outstanding indeed. He looks very
“Wynn, why did you come looking for me so suddenly?”At the same time, Giada walked into the guest hall with a gentle smile on her face. She stood in front of Wynn and obstructed her view.Giada looked like another woman compared to when she was in the hall.Wynn saw the two figures vaguely before they disappeared into the night and out of the manor.“Aunt Giada,” said Wynn politely.Giada grabbed her arm and sat down on the sofa. She asked her servants to prepare some desserts.Over here, Philip and Tim had already exited the manor. Philip turned around suspiciously. He thought he heard Wynn’s name being called just now.He shook his head, opened the car door, and got in.Back to Wynn. She was still feeling uneasy, especially when she was facing Giada.This woman was Philip’s stepmother, and Philip had some misunderstandings with her.“Wynnie, come, freshly made desserts. It’s a specialty in the South River District.”Giada smiled warmly as she picked up a slice of green ca
“Philip, is there anything you’re hiding from me?”Wynn asked and looked intensely at Philip.Philip approached her and held her in his arms. He smiled and said, “No. What are you thinking? I’ve told you everything I need to.”Philip was betting that Giada had not said anything to her.He knew she would not tell Wynn anything.If that was the case, he could bring Wynn and Mila back home in a right and proper manner.As for why he refused to tell Wynn his real identity, Philip had his own considerations as well.Wynn came from an ordinary family. She did not have the foundation nor a huge family as her backing. If Philip revealed who he was or if he brought them home, the Wallises and the other powers might want to take action against them.In this world, the Wallises were not the only family eyeing the Clarkes.The situation now was like a tug of war. The end of the rope with more people would most likely be the winning side.Once Philip broke this equilibrium, the chain reac
Martha could not bring herself to fight back and be unreasonable in front of Giada. This woman was too overbearing!She was only ferocious in her own territory. She would only be aggressive toward Philip.If she was with an outsider, she would be so cowardly that she would not even dare to let out a fart.Martha was petrified, especially when she was faced with an overbearing woman like Giada.“I-I…”Martha stammered and clutched her face. She did not know what to say.Slap!Giada slapped her again. She said sternly, “Martha Yates, I’m warning you. Get rid of all of your little tricks. Do you think the Clarkes are weak? Did you forget what I warned you the last time?”Martha was such a commoner. She really forgot about the pain once the scar was healed.She was the most shameless kind of person on earth.“I-I didn’t…”Martha clutched her face and lowered her head. Her entire body was trembling. She did not dare to look Giada in the eye.Giada peered at her coldly and walked
Yule was amazed by the person in the portrait, not expecting to see such a beautiful woman. He was somewhat skeptical after seeing the drawing. He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. Could it be the other party’s imagination? “Don’t worry, Yule. This woman is definitely real. I have an eye for beauty, so I’d never make a mistake.” Yule nodded at his subordinate's suggestive expression. Even if he was unreliable in other aspects, he would never mess up in this area. He was notorious for hanging out in various entertainment venues and was not a good guy. Yule quickly made copies of the woman’s portrait and spread the news everywhere. He looked forward to meeting this beautiful woman as soon as possible. In the meantime, Aslan finished his meal and walked on the streets idly. Yule stood on the streets, confident that he would find the woman with so many people helping him. “Hey, what's going on? Why is Foxy’s portrait posted everywhere? Has someone discovered he
“No matter what I do next, you and your people just need to go with the flow. If you agree, I’ll do my best to take care of the beast problem immediately. Of course, you don't have to worry about my source of information. My lips are sealed on this topic.” Yule quickly reached an agreement with these people. Then, Yule arrived at a remote house where all his men were hiding. He asked his men to do something unlawful for him, and they entered the beast forest by mistake because they wanted to escape justice, but they ran into Foxy by accident. Foxy realized from birth that she and her kind had a grudge against humans, but she was an inexperienced youngling, after all. She did not know much about humans and failed to notice their ulterior motives. The other party took note of Foxy’s appearance and made a detour back to safety. Yule arrived at his subordinate’s house anxiously. “Tell me everything you know about that person again. I have some information but it’s not compreh
“Let’s do it this way. We can treat this as a test. If he can solve this problem, we’ll give him a chance.” “That’s a good idea. The beasts have always been a thorn in our sides. It’ll be great if we can take care of this once and for all.” “Since he looks so confident, maybe he can really resolve this. We might as well make use of him to get rid of this problem.” “The beasts have been fighting with us for many years. We can save a lot of trouble if this plan succeeds.” Everyone expressed their opinion and seemed very keen to rely on Yule to solve this difficult problem. Ten minutes were soon up, and Yule quickly returned to the room. He looked very relaxed and even had a drink in his hand. “So, gentlemen, are you done with the discussion? Do you have a better suggestion for my future development?” Yule smiled triumphantly, obviously certain of his victory. As he expected, everyone chose to give in. After all, this was not something anyone could do. Yule would be the best
Yule felt very smug after seeing everyone’s reactions. Clearly, these people could only rely on him to take care of this problem. “Since you’re so curious, let me explain. Indeed, someone is controlling the situation behind the scenes. She can easily control the beasts with her ability. However, I don’t know the woman’s identity. Maybe she’s a powerful being or just an ordinary person. Who knows?” Yule's subordinates were the ones who told him what they saw that day. “I know that woman’s appearance, so I know what to do. You don’t have to worry about it.” Everyone glanced at each other with a grim look, wondering if they should believe Yule. After all, Yule knew something they did not. “Hehe, I just wanted to tell you my plans, that’s all.” Yule wanted to take control of the initiative. The elders and people in charge looked worried. They knew exactly what Yule wanted. “I want a certain authority. Of course, it should be higher than my father’s limit. As you know, I’ve al
Compared to the money they earned at Deadly Arena, the accommodation fee was nothing. Therefore, many people chose to stay in the living quarters provided by Deadly Arena and thought the environment was quite good. The people of Deadly Arena knew about the crisis they were facing. Something felt wrong, so they had to pay attention to it. “Don’t you find the beasts acting strangely this time? They didn’t seem interested in our things but simply left after giving us a warning.” “Yeah, I think something is wrong too. There must be a secret behind it. We have to figure it out.” The people in charge of Deadly Arena gathered for a meeting over this major incident. Yule looked at everyone with disdain as if he thought they were worried over nothing. “The beasts obviously recognized our strength, so they backed away. Stop worrying over nothing.” Yule had always thought highly of himself and looked down on everything. Hearing this, everyone scowled and wished they could teach Yule
“Foxy was the one controlling the beast stampede earlier. The beasts would've razed this place to the ground if I hadn't stopped them in time.” Philip shook his head helplessly. The fence around Deadly Arena had been flattened during the stampede, enough to prove how terrible the earlier battle was. “But of course!” Foxy nodded smugly. The people here would probably be in bad shape if she had not stopped the attack in time. Philip smiled and shook his head. “This young lady is a force to be reckoned with. She simply had to blow a flute to control all the beasts.""I'm sure that all the guilds will try every means to capture Foxy if they find out about her ability,” Lyle said, envious of her ability. Aslan sighed awkwardly. As a monster beast, he had no ability in other areas at all. He could only use his brawn to intimidate others. As if he felt the difference in strength, Aslan lowered his head and was too embarrassed to say another word. Foxy chatted with everyone happil
Aslan was surprised to see Philip bringing a petite and beautiful woman back all of a sudden. “Hey, Philip, where did you pick up such a beautiful woman? I'm so envious.” “You sure have luck with women, Philip. You picked up such a beautiful woman just by going out. It’d be great if I have such luck too.” Aslan and Lyle started teasing Philip, annoying him so much that he almost knocked them out. “Cut the crap. Her name is Foxy, and she's our new teammate. Come with me, everyone. We need to find a safe place to discuss our next plans.” Philip quickly took everyone away. He looked very excited, obviously looking forward to his next plan. Everyone nodded excitedly at Philip’s appearance. They were also curious, wondering what Philip was going to do. Since the beasts had retreated, everyone returned to the lounge area for a break without further ado. Deadly Arena would also be closed for the day and reopen the next day. The inn Philip chose for them was quite luxurious, an
Since their master was dead, these subordinates had to approach the people of Deadly Arena for help. They would be bullied without a master to take charge. They finally found a chance to join a strong employer. Now that he was dead, everyone was at a loss for what to do. “What? He’s dead? This is too much. Find out who those people are. I don’t care which force they belong to or who they have behind them, we need to wipe them out!” This person was Amos, the second in command of Deadly Arena. He knew how to deal with such provocation. “These people are too bold to touch a member of my family. Everyone knows that our children are powerful and undefeatable on this battlefield.” The second in command was annoyed and not in the mood to deal with this incident. His anger over this matter added to his initial agitation. His subordinates were surprised to see his irritation. “What’s wrong, Amos? Why are you so upset? Are the beasts up to something again?” As the second-in-comma
On the battlefield, Aslan was puzzled by the beasts’ sudden retreat. “Maybe the beasts are scared shitless by our strong combat power and decided to give up.” “You got that right. I killed several of them at once and looked really cool.” “But I have a feeling that the beasts this year are much stronger and have greater potential.” Everyone spoke excitedly. The people who killed many beasts had returned for their rewards. They thought highly of the rewards and could not wait to take all the treasures of Deadly Arena.… “Can you control the beasts from a distance?” Philip asked curiously. Foxy nodded. “I can control these beasts no matter where I am. It’s my individual talent.” Since everything went as planned, Philip pondered what to do next. “You should come with me. I’ll tell you about my next plan in detail.” Philip decided to bring Foxy into Deadly Arena. Foxy nodded seriously. She trusted Philip very much and never doubted him at all. He felt a little embarra
