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
The scantily-dressed Vivi was quite animated. “I finally met you in person! You’re pretty good-looking, hehe.”Philip was exasperated, his face twitching. “We just happen to have the same name. I’m nowhere near that impressive.”Well, f*ck!Philip had forgotten all about that.Chase Fisher, huh?From the Dragonstone Mountain Race Course back then, huh…Vivi pouted. “So you’re not him? Aww, what a bummer.”Philip was rather flabbergasted. “Aren’t you worried I’ll do something to you, gorgeous?”“Nah, what’s the point of worrying? Now that I’ve seen what you’re capable of, it’s not like I can stop you if you do want to do anything to me.”Vivi said with a shrug, as though she was truly not worried about Philip at all.The black car behind them kept chasing Vivi’s car, but they just could not close the distance, perhaps due to the undeniable difference in the two cars’ specs!“F*cker! Is he a motherf*cking superman? How did he worm in there?”The driver of the black car could
Vivi slammed the accelerator and said angrily, “You jerk!”The men in the black car behind them did not expect Philip to pull that either, but it was too late by the time they tried to stop!More than ten armed cops rushed out of the station and surrounded both cars!Vivi pouted and crossed her arms in front of her chest, getting out of her car in a huff. She made a call and looked in the direction Philip had disappeared into, frowning as she muttered, “Just you wait, I’ll definitely find you!”The three would-be assassins were in much worse shape. They were dragged out of the car and pinned onto the ground, babbling in Thai.As for Philip, he managed to shake them all off and saunter back to the villa, whistling away.…At the same time, in a fancy presidential suite somewhere in Capital City…“Damn it! Those three are useless! They couldn’t even capture one man!”Marcus Quaid threw a fit, his expression stormy as he stood before the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked at the
They could also see some toddlers, which proved that the predecessors were living quite a good life. “We thought you had ascended to another place. Is this the place you ended up? It doesn’t look like the paradise described in the books!” Selma blinked innocently, wondering why this place looked like this. This place was not rich in energy, and there was nothing special about it, so it was not attractive at all. “We didn’t ascend but have been trapped in this place over the years with no way to leave.” Fitz did not want to deceive them and simply told them the facts. Now that they had entered, the newcomers had no way of leaving either. “Didn’t you notice? The passage that led you in has been sealed. There’s no way to leave now.” Selma turned her head curiously and looked at the exit. Philip followed suit and found that it was indeed the case. The exit was blocked by a huge stone. No one knew when the stone appeared. It felt like it appeared out of thin air. Philip's ex
When Philip’s eyes adjusted to the light, he saw a gurgling stream in front of him. There was a small village beside the stream and many more villages along the stream. Philip counted four in total. The villagers who lived along the stream observed Philip as he looked at them. “Outsiders?” A man standing in the front stared at Philip in surprised disbelief. Philip noticed that he had a snake tail. Hearing the man's words, everyone ran out. Without exception, they all had a snake tail. It was clear that they belonged to the same race as Selma. Selma covered her mouth in shock at this scene. It was true. Their predecessors were staying there. The man mellowed down after seeing Selma. He felt a familiar vibe on her. It seemed that they shared the same bloodline. Philip nudged Selma, who quickly understood his meaning and showed her true form. Cavin followed her cue. Seeing this scene, the man laughed and applauded. The spider people arrived at this time. They were surpri
Philip finally realized that Ariadna was not wealthy enough to do business with him. “This emerald pendant is very valuable! Don’t look down on it just because you’re strong!” Ariadna grumbled under her breath but had no choice but to accept it. After all, Philip had the final say about its value. Maybe her treasure was worthless to Philip because he was too strong for it. After taking the emerald pendant, Philip told Ariadna what he knew per their agreement, which was the secret about people living in the ancestral land. As expected, Ariadna was shocked by the news too. “Are you serious? This is too far-fetched. Are you saying that our predecessors have been trapped here and haven't left for another place?” Her outburst gave Philip a different idea. When he spoke to Selma earlier, he subconsciously believed that these so-called predecessors had ascended. It was strange that they reached a very odd place of ascension. After hearing Ariadna’s remark, however, it seemed mor
No one knew if their predecessors would treat them as their own. Although they had the same bloodline, they had not seen each other for such a long time. Besides, they sneaked into the ancestral land without permission. Maybe they would be killed before they stepped inside. Philip’s information was very useful, indeed. Selma quickly returned to her family members in a panic and discussed with them. With only a few of them, the discussion was very brief before they reached a decision. Cavin grimaced at this unexpected development, and he was more in awe of Philip. He was shocked by Philip’s strength. If Philip could sense that, his observation skill was nothing in front of Philip! Cavin felt helpless about it. It felt a little embarrassing to have shown off his skill in front of Philip now. “Selma, what should we do now? We have to consider the stalkers behind us. They won’t give up that easily. We may be in trouble if we don't find a way to get rid of them.” Cavin glanced at th
“Are you referring to humans like us or unique races like them?” Philip was surprised that Rabbit sensed something that he did not. Philip stroked Rabbit's round head with satisfaction as a compliment to him. Rabbit wiggled his short tail in pride. He really felt something was wrong, so he hoped Philip would pay attention to it. “I don’t think they're one of us. They're more likely one of the unique races.” Rabbit did not kick up a fuss after he noticed something was wrong but simply spoke to Philip on the side. He knew that these people might go crazy if they found out people were living in their ancestral land. Philip looked at Rabbit solemnly. After much deliberation, he finally decided to tell Selma about the discovery. Meanwhile, Selma was still thinking about how to get rid of Ariadna when Philip pulled her aside all of a sudden. Selma looked at Philip shyly with a hint of panic in her eyes. “I need to tell you something. Be mentally prepared for it,” Philip said se
If Philip had not been on guard, he might have been misled by the mist into thinking that it was nothing. Others rushed over, eager to find out what happened. Ronan looked around excitedly. He wanted to judge the situation by the traces left behind, but surprisingly, there was no sign of a battle. He was confused and wondered what had happened. He had been expecting a fierce battle. After all, it was very difficult to subdue such things. However, he saw a scene of peace in front of him. “Philip, what happened? Something feels wrong. There should be something toxic here, but I don’t see anything. Are you too strong or are those things too cunning?” Ronan was very curious and felt that things were more than met the eye. “You’ll find out soon. Anyway, did those guys follow you?” Philip looked back at the restless people mockingly. They were not that strong, but they would never miss any chance to take advantage of others. “Some of them did follow us, but they're not very quick
“On top of that, I can also help to expand your awareness and enhance your mental strength.” Philip persuaded the mist with everything he had, hoping that it would leave with him. He was strong enough to interact with the mist in an equal setting. If the mist refused to give in, Philip would consider beating it into submission. After much deliberation, the mist, who was more like an innocent child, agreed to Philip’s suggestion. Philip felt the excitement expressed by the mist. “I’ll take you into my space now. Don’t resist. You’ll feel that mysterious power in a minute.” He took the mist into his space, and the large expanse of blue mist vanished in an instant. The fierce killing intent in the passage disappeared with it. Philip looked at the disappearing mist in excitement. He found something very good this time. The mist was obviously still in its growing stage, an ignorant little thing at present. The mist would grow under his help into a strong existence. He was glad to
Arachne and the others saw the mist and were frightened. They quickly hid beside the snake people without lurking in the dark anymore. “What’s up with the weird mist?” The spider people brought more people than Selma’s team this time. Everyone was squeezed in this place, making it a little crowded. The snake people looked at them in disdain, shocked that they had the nerve to approach them. “Don’t you see how crowded this place is? Stop squeezing your way inside!” Cavin said with disdain. Although Cavin looked like a timid child who anyone could bully, he was quite manly in a confrontation. Rabbit huffed at them in anger but did not know what to say. Arachne rolled her eyes. “This is obviously the only safe place around. Where should we go if not here? You can leave if you think it’s crowded,” Arachne sneered with disdain. They knew that Philip had entered the danger zone, so they wanted to stay close to keep abreast of his updated situation. However, they overlooked
Whether the fine wine or the delicious beast meat provided by Philip, their strength improved greatly after the meal, which was simply too good to be true. Everyone guessed whether eating such meat on a long-term basis would make their bodies stronger. “Our business will definitely soar if we have such meat on the menu!” Selma marveled solemnly. She knew how attractive the meat was to humans or other races. It was worth looking forward to a meal that could improve one’s strength. Moreover, they could feel their bodies slowly absorbing the meat’s energy without going to waste, and they did not have to go through the effort of absorbing it, which was simply amazing. When Philip and his people left after having their fill, Arachne followed them with her people. Ariadna was so jealous that her thoughts became distorted. If she had not been so stupid back then, she might have gotten the chance to sit with Philip and enjoy the meal too. She lost the chance because she was stupid and
