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
Martha was terrified. Philip’s gaze was eerie, looking directly at her.What did he mean by that?“I hope you watch your step from now on.”Philip said coldly before turning and leaving First Palace. He got into Theo’s car and headed for the hospital.Now Martha was standing along in the villa, watching in a fluster as the crowd dispersed.That damned Philip, what was he being so high-and-mighty for?What did they even mean by the main and branch families?Martha’s chest felt tight with fear and panic.Philip’s last words to her gave her an especially inexplicable feeling.Was it a warning?Meanwhile, Philip arrived at the hospital and immediately ran to the wards. When he saw Wynn lying in bed and resting, his heart finally settled back in his chest.He sat on the side of the bed and gently touched Wynn’s fair forehead. The wound on her face was still so gruesome to behold.That cursed branch family!The flames of rage still burned in Philip’s chest.Wynn opened her eyes
That was just what Uncle Tim was like. Bold and decisive, just like an ancient military general.If that had not happened back then, Uncle Tim’s daughter would probably be about Philip’s age by now.To be honest, Philip rather missed his cousin.Was that brat Ethan Clarke doing well over there? Philip could not help but wonder.He hoped Ethan could pull through.After all, Philip had survived that place himself. Everyone in there was a genius in their own rights, and they had a really good way with words too.Philip hoped that the boy could shake off his terrible spoiled-brat attitude and reemerge a changed man.After he stayed at the hospital for a while, Philip stood up, about to go back to the villa and get something.On the way, though, he suddenly sensed something amiss.Philip paused and abruptly looked behind him. There were two blindingly bright lights coming right at him at breakneck speeds!The lights grew brighter and brighter. Anyone else would be temporarily blin
Everyone was surprised by the appearance of a talking rabbit, and it was very expressive too. Someone who did not know the situation would think that it was a human! On the way here, they heard some rumors about this rabbit having an amazing storage space. It sounded spectacular, but no one believed it. After all, even people of their status could not get a storage space. How could a mere rabbit own such a legendary treasure? Hence, everyone was surprised to see Rabbit for themselves. “Sir, is that the mysterious and powerful rabbit that was rumored outside? Why don’t we catch it and see if we can find something about it? Even if there’s nothing special about that rabbit, it’s fun to keep a talking rabbit around!” a lapdog said excitedly, clearly very curious about this talking rabbit. “You’re right. Who can refuse a talking rabbit? It’s fun to keep it as entertainment. If I use it to pick up women, I believe more women will fall in love with me!” Hogster was very excited and
Although Carlos was not that concerned about appearance, he was not fond of the idea of Vanna being together with an ugly man either. He wanted Vanna to find bliss too. Hogster was angry at Celeste’s provocation and shocked that someone would turn him down. He had to say that some secular women were ignorant and blind. In his opinion, she ignored him simply because she did not know how powerful he was. Only the women in the guild were smart enough to please him. “Carlos, since I’m here, let’s have a good chat. I plan to take Vanna away!” Hogster looked at Carlos with confidence. Although Carlos was someone he couldn't afford to offend, Hogster had his pride too. As the heir to his guild, his status was noble. Carlos sneered at his arrogance. Hogster expected to take Vanna away with just one remark. He really thought highly of himself. Carlos’ mission was to protect Vanna. He was not concerned about anything else. “Do you think just anyone can take the young heiress of Cel
Ronan frowned when someone kicked the door open. Carlos and his men woke up from their drunken stupor as well and looked around solemnly. In general, practitioners would not get drunk after drinking, but they had not used their energy to neutralize the alcohol earlier. Now that something was happening, they could not remain intoxicated. Everyone stood on guard, wondering what happened. They saw a man kicking the door open. After the man kicked the door open, he appeared in front of everyone smugly. Everyone felt disgusted to see his smug look and was surprised by his ugly appearance. Philip frowned at this person. He was sure that he did not know this guy, but seeing his smug look, he should be the ugly Hogster that everyone was talking about. Carlos had mentioned earlier that Hogster's ugly appearance was so distinct that anyone could recognize him at a glance. He had a very short figure and a ridiculous proportion, like a dwarf with no legs! Philip recognized him at a gla
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you crying?” Hogster picked up the kid angrily. Hogster was never a patient man, so he was even more annoyed by the kid’s defiance. He wanted to teach the kid a lesson for messing with him. “Stop crying. I want to ask you something. If you answer me properly, I’ll leave you alone.” Hogster smacked the kid, leaving him in a daze. The kid had never encountered such a situation before and simply sobbed. “Have you heard anything about an ugly woman? She was supposed to be the bride of the Cohen family, but the marriage was canceled at the last minute.” Hogster glared at the sobbing child in exasperation but he had to ask his questions patiently. After all, the kid looked the easiest to bully among everyone around. The child stopped crying and nodded after hearing him. “Someone took the ugly woman away. They're staying in the small house over there!” He was afraid that Hogster would hit him again, so he blurted everything he knew. The kid always hun
If the Celestial Palace could help them groom some people or lend them some experts, they might stand a chance in the competition. Seeing that time was running out, Hogster could not wait to solve the problem. Things would become difficult if he failed to marry Vanna. Hogster searched for Vanna’s whereabouts with his men. He was very anxious and wanted to find Vanna immediately. “Didn’t you say that the woman is here? Why is there no sign of her?” Hogster smacked his subordinate’s head in anger. The subordinate who got hit was shocked by his sudden attack, but at the thought of Hogster’s temper, he had no choice but to put up with it. As a pampered young heir, it was normal for Hogster to have a bad temper. His subordinates could do nothing but wallow in silence. “As far as we know, she’s nearby, but no one knows her exact location. These people don’t have a permanent residence, so finding her is more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack,” his men said nervously. T
Vanna was relieved. “That’s great. I’m surprised that my father is so sensible about this. If he dares to send someone to deal with you, I’ll make sure he doesn’t have an easy time either!” Vanna said in a huff. Vanna was angry at the thought of her father’s stubborn streak. “By the way, Hogster may cause trouble for you. I can see that your boss is very powerful. At worst, you can ask your boss to help you out. Not just anyone can take care of this.” Carlos knew how strong Ronan was, but he would be facing a guild. He did not think Ronan could win the fight. Fighting the guild would be the worst option. He hoped that Ronan could think about it carefully without being too conceited. “I think your boss is powerful enough to handle it easily. It’ll be difficult for you to deal with it single-handedly. “Hogster and his guild are very vindictive. You’ll be in trouble if he finds out that you stole his prey. Although the Celestial Palace can help you in certain areas, you'll hav
“Here, let’s eat and drink to our hearts' content. Don’t bother with formalities. Just treat this as your own home!” Ronan enthusiastically poured wine for the guards, who were flattered by his gesture. They knew that Vanna had settled down with this man. He could be considered their boss too, so no one dared to accept the wine he poured personally. Ronan laughed at their reaction and knew that his plan had worked.…. While they marveled at the wine, the guild that had previously asked for Vanna’s hand in marriage received the news. This guild was strong enough to enter into a political marriage with the Celestial Palace, but it was no better than the Celestial Palace. They just wanted to use this opportunity to join forces with the Celestial Palace to become stronger. Unexpectedly, Vanna rejected the marriage and ran away without showing up at all. “Damn it, that woman will turn 20 soon. What will happen if she doesn’t restore her appearance in time? I don't want to marry a
Carlos was so fast that he was back before Ronan knew it. Ronan was nervous when he saw Carlos standing at the door again. “We need to wait for the guild leader to decide what to do. For now, I’m here to protect Vanna. I may need to stay here for the time being. I hope you don't mind.” Carlos was very polite and did not annoy anyone. Hearing that, Philip nodded and made arrangements for the guards to stay. With two vacant rooms left, they had to squeeze a bit. The other party did not make things difficult for them, which meant there was room for negotiation, so they could relax a little. Although Ronan was very nervous, Philip thought they had a chance. “Let’s have a good meal tonight.” Ronan looked at the people squeezed into two rooms, his mouth twitching. Celeste and Darius had taken on the task of cooking, and their food was to die for. “Sure!” Carlos agreed without hesitation, hoping that Ronan would serve more of that wine because he did not have his fill at the g
As Carlos drank the wine decisively, the guild leader looked at him expectantly. If not for his dignity, he would have tasted the wine already. Carlos took a sip of wine and closed his eyes to savor it in delight. “In my opinion, I don’t think you should take the wine. Just let me take care of it for you!” Carlos could not help teasing him. Carlos and the guild leader were more like brothers, so their interaction was not that formal. The guild leader smiled helplessly, picked up the glass, and drank the wine in one gulp. “This wine…” He was suddenly at a loss for how to describe the beauty of the wine. It felt as if this wine was only fit for heaven, too good for this world. The two took one sip after another until the guild leader wanted to keep the wine away. “Sir, don't be so stingy. There’s still a little bit of wine left. Let's just finish it!” Not just anyone could take this wine. Even a strong practitioner would feel close to bursting after drinking so much. “Get
