His eyes were ice-cold!His murderous aura filled the room!Philip kept staring at Canon, approaching him one step at a time. He grabbed Canon by the collar and lifted him from the ground, saying coolly, “Since you don’t care about your own life, Canon Clarke, why do I think I would care?”Canon looked up, blood leaking from his mouth. He said wildly, “Haha, don’t sound so scary, Phil. If you really have the balls to do it, you would have done it by now. You’re just trying to scare me. As if you actually dare to kill me! Would you really be willing to give up your inheritance?”Canon’s bluster came directly from his knowledge of the family rules.He knew that members of the family were not allowed to kill each other!“Do you think I care about the family rules?”Philip said all of a sudden, his eyes filled with a brutal bloodlust!Ba-thump!Canon shuddered when he saw the look in Philip’s eyes. Stuttering slightly, he said, “W-What are you doing?”Philip responded with a punc
This shameless, senile old fool!These geezers in the enforcement hall were mostly fossils frozen dead in their thinking.Gerard just gave Wynn and Mila a cool look, as though they did not even warrant thinking about. “So what if Canon beat up a useless woman and a bastard child? You’re an heir to the Clarke family fortune, yet you disrespected the family rules. You’re disrespecting me, your great-uncle, the family rules, and the branch family!”He gave no inch whatsoever.He pelted Philip with a barrage of questions!The atmosphere was sub-zero and on the verge of exploding into chaos!Philip’s gaze was completely cold now. For the first time, he was infuriated at this elder of his!Gerard was being ridiculous here!He was just nonchalantly accusing Philip of so many charges.He was despicable, just like his grandson!Philip’s silence incensed Gerard further, and the old man continued, “Philip Clarke, starting from now, I sentence you to three months in solitary confinement.
As soon as he gave the order!Everyone was stunned!Gerard and the others, and even Giada, had all turned pale!That was the Sovereignty Seal!The actual Sovereignty Seal!Damn it!That cursed Tim Clarke had given Philip something as important as the Sovereignty Seal!That threw Gerard for a loop. His gaze sharpened and turned cold.He never expected a small fry like Philip to have the Sovereignty Seal with him. That was a trump card that could control the family’s armed forces at will!It was the family’s ace in the hole!Giada could not keep her calm any longer either. Her expression was cold and her gaze faltering as she stared at the jade ring in Philip’s hands!She had been lusting after that item for such a long time, but she never once guessed that Tim had long since given it to Philip!Curses!“How dare you, Philip! This is absurd! Do you really think you can cast my family out of the Clarke estate with just the Sovereignty Seal? In your dreams! I am your great-unc
"Are you going to meddle in this, Giada? I suggest you reconsider before you do! I'm not implicating you in this because you're Giada Wallis, from the Wallis family. But if you dare to get in my way today, the Wallises will no longer have any reason to exist!"Philip turned around, his gaze piercingly cold as he stared at Giada intently. His eyes shone with a warning and killing intent!They made Giada shudder. She had never felt such a cold murderous aura from Philip before!It was almost scarier than his father, Roger's!That was right!Philip's killing aura was unmatched!Giada had no choice. She glanced at Gerard and then reached out her slender hand, where she also wore an antique jade ring.She said coolly, "You're not the only one with a Sovereignty Seal, Philip. I have one too. Our seals may mean different things, but right here and now, they have the same effect."She continued, "Heed my order, oh guards of the Clarkes. Protect Gerard Clarke's family with your lives.
Nevertheless, Philip knew no fear as he looked at Canon frostily.Right now, Canon's limbs had been completely shattered. He wept tragically and pleaded for mercy, "Phil, cousin, please don't kill me! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."He was scared of dying!Canon had never expected to be so close to death one day.Philip was a demon for ignoring the family rules and Giada's Sovereignty Seal."Kill you?"Philip chuckled coldly. "I won't kill you. I’ll make you live the rest of your life as trash, begging on the streets. I want you to live every minute and every second in regret and pain!”With that, he sneered, “Throw him onto the streets and make sure he can only beg for a living. He must never take a single step out of Riverdale!”“Yes, sir!”Theo nodded.After that, Philip turned to Gerard and continued, “Do you know what your biggest mistake was, Great-uncle? It was thinking that I was nothing in the seven years since I left the family, thinking that I can’t do anything to you. W
While Jean taunted the guards, he repeatedly turned around to show off to his cousins.“C’mon! Shoot me if you have the balls!”Jean was drunk and fearless right now, pointing to his head as he challenged the guards.The captain in charge had already raised his gun and was looking through his scope. “We received orders to remove Gerard Clarke’s family branch from Arcadia. Get down on the ground and put your hands behind your head! If you disobey, we will shoot to kill!”Shoot to kill?!His declaration made the young branch family heirs and heiresses turn pale.Jean was taken aback too, but then he laughed wildly. “Hey hey hey, have those helmets given you guys concussions or something? The nerve of you to say something like that! You want to banish our family?”“Yeah, what a joke! Know your place, how dare you address your masters like that!”“You’re just a pack of guard dogs, remember that!”“Notify the branch family guards, chase them out of here!”The young masters and lad
Graham Clarke’s branch family was in a complete uproar!Soon after Graham gave his orders, another servant rushed into the hall and fell on their knees, weeping, “Old Master Graham! OId Master Gerard and Young Master have been grievously wounded and rendered immobile!”Whoosh!This piece of tragic news once more took Graham off-guard. He lost his balance and fell back onto his armchair, fighting to catch his breath!He only recovered slightly when a servant hurriedly offered him some medicine. “That b*stard, that little b*stard! Why do we have such an unfilial son in our ranks! The main family is doomed, I say, doomed!”Graham cried at the top of his lungs and then slowly struggled to his feet like a man twice his age. He leaned on his black dragon cane and smashed it into the marble floor, barking, “Heed my orders! Gather all of our forces immediately and storm the main family! I will go to the enforcement hall now and request their intervention. We must make that useless brat
“How are the branch families reacting?”“The head of the branch family already brought his men over, but the Fourth Madam persuaded him to leave. The head of the enforcement hall should be here soon too. After this, members of the branch families and enforcement hall will probably keep streaming into Riverdale to trouble Young Master Philip. After all, he did go too far this time. He ignored the rules and even…”Cough cough.There was a bout of coughing, followed by slightly quiet panting.“I see. I’ll leave the matters on the island to the Fourth Madam for now. You… Cough cough, go to Fernvale and convey this message…”Back at Riverdale, at First Palace of Longford Park.Philip looked at Giada coldly, approaching her one step at a time.Right now, Vivian was like a feral kitten with all her hackles up, protecting Giada with her life.“Do you dare get in my way?”Philip said icily, his gaze completely devoid of warmth!Vivian was beyond surprised!She always thought Philip w
Carlos thought Philip would do something to him, but Philip simply handed him something he took out of his pocket. “Try practicing this technique.” After Philip handed him the item, he stared at Carlos, waiting for the result. Carlos was relieved to hear it. He had thought Philip was going to do something to him, but it turned out that Philip simply wanted Carlos to try a technique out. Carlos smiled and shook his head. “We can’t practice other techniques different from our own unless someone can make improvements to our existing technique. Only then do we have the chance to learn something new. But do you know how difficult it is to improve a technique?” Carlos smiled helplessly. Their people had been trying to improve their technique forever. After all, the side effects of the technique were simply annoying, but it was easier said than done. Their predecessors had been studying it for years but to no avail. They had no choice but to give up. Now, only one elder was resp
“Since she’s one of your people, she can stay, but don’t try to do anything,” Philip said. Philip glanced at the holy maiden. Before he could say anything else, something appeared in his mind. It was the technique she practiced. Philip had no idea what happened. He had merely glanced at her when her technique appeared in his mind. Although it was weird, Philip did not think it was a bad thing. Instead, he was happy. He knew that it was a special ability. Thinking of this, Philip was in a good mood. He went back to his room after excusing himself. He wanted to study the technique carefully. It would be best if he could discover something. The holy maiden watched indignantly as Philip left. Jamie knew that Celeste’s biggest advantage was her looks. She was so beautiful that the holy maiden felt the pressure. “Stay here with peace of mind and treat it as your own home. No need for formalities,” Celeste said to them with a smile as if she were the mistress of the house. Jam
Philip waved his hand. That was not what he meant. At this time, Celeste walked out of her room. She had fallen in love with cooking and always immersed herself in the kitchen, figuring out different recipes. In the past, Celeste lived alone in the gloomy forest without freedom or friends. After meeting Philip, she became more vibrant. Celeste would feel a sense of achievement whenever Philip ate the food she cooked. Seeing her, Philip greeted Celeste and introduced the visitors to her. “I don’t need a maid. I already have someone to take care of the household chores. Thank you for your kindness,” Philip said with a smile. Celeste had been doing a good job, so Philip did not think he needed another woman to take care of him. The more women around, the more trouble there would be. The holy maiden froze in surprise at the sight of such a beautiful woman around Philip. Although she was not ugly, she had to live with this ugly appearance until her marriage because of that nas
“That’s enough. Stop talking about me. You might as well think about how to deal with Hogster and the others. The Hexa Guild will definitely come after you.” Philip greeted Jamie calmly without taking the incident seriously at all. Seeing his reaction, Jamie thought that Philip was more and more unfathomable. The Hexa Guild was making a big fuss over this case. Many guilds had accepted the Hexa Guild’s gifts and now stood in opposition to the Celestial Palace. Although this matter had nothing to do with those guilds at all, they accepted the Hexa Guild's gifts in exchange for hyping the news up. It would be best if the two guilds fought. Maybe they could take advantage of the situation in the process! The other major guilds were waiting to watch the excitement too. They hoped that the Celestial Palace would be affected by this incident and it would maybe result in them losing the guild competition. Philip was also quite interested in the guild competition but was more curious
“Vanna mentioned that you enjoy drinking, so I prepared some fine wine for you.” Ronan said it so smoothly that he must have practiced it. Jamie was surprised to see Ronan taking a bottle of wine from his pocket, not at the wine itself. It proved that Ronan had a storage space. Thinking of this, Jamie felt better. Since Ronan had a storage space, he had to have a strong backing. Carlos had determined from various aspects that Ronan was a man with good character. In that case, Jamie had nothing more to worry about, and he could feel at ease again. “We’re about to hold a competition between the guilds. You can join us if you’re interested. Since you’re already part of us, you should do your best. If you can win the competition, I’ll consider officially acknowledging your identity.” Jamie seemed like a gentle and easygoing person. Ronan was excited by his words. He never dreamed that he would have the opportunity to be acknowledged. Ronan thought that he was unworthy of Vann
Jamie was startled. He never thought that someone would speak to him in this manner. With his high and mighty status, everyone spoke to him politely except Carlos. He was not used to someone treating him so frivolously. “I'm here to look for someone,” Jamie said with a smile. The rabbit meant no harm, so Jamie did not have to act like a domineering guild leader. Rabbit stepped aside. “Of course, I know you’re here to look for someone. There’s no other reason to be here otherwise. It's just a matter of whether you can see them.” Rabbit hopped away. He just wanted to see if it was a good or bad guy. After all, troublemakers would be taught a good lesson. Carlos walked out calmly with a teacup. He had fallen for the taste of tea. Philip’s tea was simply perfect. He would feel a fluctuation in his strength after drinking it. He was ecstatic at the discovery and was unwilling to return to the guild now. Taking a sip, he realized that someone familiar was standing at the door and
“I’m surprised that the Celestial Palace would be so shameless. Since they refuse to do things my way, they shouldn't blame me for doing this.” Alain decided to make good use of this incident to guilt-trip the Celestial Palace. He told his people to spread the news of the Celestial Palace to the public. All of a sudden, everyone knew that the young lady of the Celestial Palace had married another man without consent. The incident caused an uproar, and everyone was talking about it. It was one of the most explosive pieces of news in the world of practitioners. The Celestial Palace was a large guild that valued the personal conduct of their guild members. A member would be punished for doing such a thing, but their young lady had rebelliously chosen to be with a man of unknown origins. The news was all hyped up, and everyone waited to watch the excitement. Of course, the people of the Celestial Palace heard the news too. The guild leader scowled upon receiving it. He did not th
Sure enough, Alain was very angry. He stared at Dennis in disbelief, surprised at his defeat. “How did you end up losing? Is he really as strong as the rumors said? I refuse to believe that a little brat can bring you any harm!" Alain subconsciously felt that Dennis had not done his best. Alain was sure that Dennis was being overdramatic. Dennis had always been a powerful god of war. This unexpected outcome was simply impossible. Thus, he felt that Dennis had not done his best to fulfill his duty. “Although I only exchanged one move with that young man, I could easily tell his level. I could feel that he’s more talented than Hogster. I believe it’ll be a great help for us if we can take him under our wing.” Dennis was doing it for the benefit of the guild. It would be an advantage to the guild if they could get Ronan. However, his words infuriated Alain instead. He was angry at Dennis’ stupid suggestion. “Ronan is clearly not the same as us. No matter how strong he is, he
Although Dennis could not be bothered with Hogster, he had to fight for the chance to recruit Ronan. However, Ronan shook his head. “I already have Philip, so you can forget about it. So, do you still want to fight? I don't mind showing you my strength.” Ronan had simply executed a casual move just now, so it could not be considered a full-blown display of his powers. If Dennis still wanted to fight, he would oblige. Dennis shook his head. He could clearly tell that he was no match for Ronan. Although he wanted to teach Ronan a lesson, he would only end up tragically if he went ahead with it. He did not doubt that Ronan could easily crush him. “Please excuse our intrusion today.” Dennis bowed to Ronan and left without another word. He did not want to stay in this unpleasant place any longer. He was the third elder, a person of high status. Not to mention suffering an easy defeat, but he also had to apologize to the person who defeated him, which was simply woeful. The perso
