At the door, Miguel got into the red Aston Martin sports car, beckoned to the man standing by the door, and said, “Go, get some people and make trouble for Beacon.” The subordinate bent down respectfully and said, “Yes, Young Master.” Miguel glanced at the hospital entrance and sneered conspiratorially. Philip Clarke… He had failed to beat this man in the past. Now that Philip had left the Clarke family, would he still lose out? What was so great about the Clarke family on Arcadia Island? Here, in the ward, the atmosphere was a little awkward. Wynn sat on the hospital bed, looking at Philip who was across from her. She asked after a long while, “What did he mean just now? Philip, are you hiding something from me?” Wynn frowned. She was not stupid. She had gone through many things recently and everything seemed to be related to Philip’s identity. From the good-for-nothing son-in-law of the Johnston family, Philip gradually became different. He was richer and more power
Wynn also noticed the movement behind her and sat up sideways. She was slightly surprised when she suddenly saw these people in the ward. However, she still asked with a polite smile, “Hello, you are?” Wynn was very curious. Why was there suddenly an old man sitting in a wheelchair in her ward? Looking at the people around him, they looked like private guards. Furthermore, the dormant aura around everyone was unfathomable. Even if it was hidden well and deep, Wynn was still keenly aware of it. The old man in the wheelchair, even though he was very old, was still as steady as a mountain. His eyes revealed the vicissitudes of the world amid the chaos. Although he was an old man at the brink of his life, the majestic aura he exuded was the first of its kind Wynn had encountered in her life! It was too strong. It was like a dormant dragon. Moreover, he and Philip had the same aura. The old man took out a silk handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of his mouth. His eld
Mila turned, her ponytails flipping about as she curiously looked at Roger who was sitting on the wheelchair. She asked in a crisp tone, “Mom, who is this?” Wynn bent down and said gently to Mila, “Mila, this is your father’s father, your grandfather.” Hearing that, Mila’s big black jewel-like eyes suddenly brightened as she stared at Roger closely. “Go, give Grandpa a hug,” Wynn said with a smile. Mila was a little scared. After all, it was her first time seeing her grandfather. She took tiny steps toward Roger, stretched out her tender little arms, and grabbed Roger’s big hand. Then, she raised her little head, revealing tiny dimples as she shouted sweetly, “Grandpa!” “Hey,” Roger responded, his eyes full of doting and kindness. His heart melted at that greeting. Picking Mila up and putting her on his lap, Roger’s eyes became a little misty. His granddaughter, the granddaughter of the Clarke family. “You’re the little princess of the Clarke family, do you know?”
The Dragon Seal! It was the personal token of Roger Clarke who was the head of the Clarke family! The power was immeasurable! If this token was issued, all the forces and financial resources that belonged to the Clarke clan would have to follow the order! Furthermore, this token could be used to call upon the old veterans who conquered the world with Roger back then! It was a token that could mobilize Roger’s hidden power! If the Sovereignty Seal was used to command the power of the Clarke family out in the open, then the Dragon Seal would command the power that was hidden in the dark! It would include mobilizing the Shadow Squadron! This token was the only one in the entire world! This was what Giada, including the people behind her, coveted the most! That was the cornerstone of Roger Clarke and the cornerstone of the Clarke family! However, Roger gave the Dragon Seal to Wynn! The moment this token was taken out, all the frolicking shadow guards in the entire w
When Charles heard Martha’s words, his face darkened with a frown as he said, “What are you talking about? You hired someone to kidnap and kill! It’s a criminal offense and you can be jailed! Fortunately, nothing happened. If something really happened, the rest of your life would be over!” Charles could not believe that this sentence came out of Martha’s mouth. Was she crazy? “Bullsh*t!” Martha cursed hysterically, “I don’t care if that piece of trash dies. What does it have to do with me?” Charles was helpless while Martha was completely consumed by hatred. Martha stared at the ceiling, hissing and crying in pain. The continuous pain made her resentment for Philip grow deeper. Damn it. She would kill him sooner or later! Just as Martha was cursing Philip to the heavens and back, a few people suddenly appeared at the door of the ward. First, two bodyguards in suits entered the ward and looked around. Then, an old man sitting in a wheelchair was slowly pushed in. Imm
Martha trembled in fear. This was her first time meeting the in-law, and the scene was actually like this. He looked very old and sickly, but his eyes were full of vicissitudes and profound depths. Martha felt as if she was stripped naked in front of Roger, where even her thoughts could not be concealed at all. That feeling was mortifying! Moreover, at this moment, Roger’s aura was very intense. Although it was already being suppressed, Martha, who was lying on the hospital bed, was still overwhelmed by the kingly presence. She could not help swallowing a mouthful of spit, cold sweat running down her forehead! The entire ward was filled with killing intent! Charles dared not say anything as well. Seeing Roger at this time was even more terrifying than the time he saw his immediate boss back then! This was Philip’s father, his in-law! How terrifying! Although it was just a look, Charles’ knees went weak. The man’s next sentence made Martha panic. “I heard that
Roger coughed a couple more times before saying indifferently to Martha, “Remember what I said and don’t go too far. In my eyes, Philip breaking your arms is just a small lesson for you. If I were to make a move, you won’t even be alive now.” Martha quickly nodded and replied, “I know. I won’t do it again.” She could not help but give in. Compared to that wimpy Philip, this in-law was much stronger. Until now, she still could not accept Philip riding on top of her head. Furthermore, even his father was putting airs in front of her now. She was upset and dissatisfied. However, Martha could only endure it, grit her teeth, and swallow her grievances. Did she dare to talk back? No! She was afraid of death. Martha could tell that if Roger nodded, the people around him would kill her in an instant. Roger glanced at the uneasy Martha and said lightly, “I really hope you keep it in your mind instead of just saying it to me. If I ever find out that you’re up to no good, do
Martha was panicking now, shaking all over. If she was not afraid of these people before, including Roger, then she was truly scared now. These people could do anything! “You! Don’t come over! I'm his in-law! If you do this, aren’t you afraid that your employer will settle the score with you?” Martha shouted hysterically with panicked eyes. However, her arms were broken and suspended in mid-air in plaster casts. She could not run away even if she wanted to. “My master’s kindness has nothing to do with me. Anyone who’s disrespectful to the lord should be killed, even if you’re the in-laws!” The man wore the white gloves as his dark eyes flashed with killing intent! No one in this world could insult the master! Violators had to be killed! “Charles, stop him! He’s crazy! They’re a bunch of crazy people!” Martha shouted desperately. At this time, Martha could only rely on Charles. However, Charles’ knees had already gone weak. He wanted to go up and stop the man, b
“No one ever comes to my place. You must be outsiders.” Celeste was curious, wondering who Philip was. Celeste knew about the four unique races, but Philip’s appearance and form did not fit any of them. “You’re right. I’m an outsider. I wanted to know something, so I came to the forest. It’s best if you can give me an answer. I don’t intend to harm anyone. If you can answer my questions, I’ll leave and remove the curse on you as well,” Philip persuaded her. He felt that the woman was quite sincere, different from what he imagined. In that case, there was no need to make things difficult for her. Besides, he did not feel a murderous vibe in her, so she had probably never done anything bad. Philip had no reason to make things difficult for someone who liked to hide and sing. “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I know, but I don’t really know much. I usually stay in my own territory and have no contact with the outside world. Even the other races don't know of my existence.” Rabbit
Philip felt that there was no problem with his hearing. Someone was humming a song, and the tune sounded very strange and spooky in the dark forest. Rabbit frowned and nodded. He also heard the strange sound and was scared. “Who has nothing better to do but to sing here?” Rabbit nervously grabbed the corner of Philip's clothes, afraid that Philip would leave him behind. Philip shook his head. According to the others, no one would come here for no reason. Due to various dangers in the forest, they would only wander around the edge without seeking trouble in the depths. In that case, the abrupt singing voice was very strange, indeed. “Philip, don't be nervous. Stay calm.” Rabbit's voice was trembling. Although Rabbit kept telling Philip to stay calm, he was already freaking out, so scared that he nearly wanted to run away. Philip knew Rabbit’s character, so he did not comment. He simply observed the surroundings and listened carefully to the sound, which was so ethereal tha
Philip took Puffy along and quickly arrived in a forest where the other races usually hunted, so they should not face any danger here. As soon as Philip left, a woman appeared in the corner and looked in the direction where Philip left with a conflicted look on her face. “Should I follow him?” Ariadna had been left behind in the snake people’s village. She had no friends, and no one paid her any attention. Sometimes, they even displayed their ridicule and disdain for her. She did not get good treatment even though she was a junior from the outside world. In desperation, Ariadna decided to follow Philip. Unexpectedly, she saw Philip with a cute kid the next second. Ariadna was surprised to see that Philip had such a big and cute child. “Wait, that kid looks a little weird.” Due to the distance, Ariadna could not see what the kid looked like, but his color and body shape seemed different from that of normal people. After much deliberation, Ariadna decided to tag along, co
“I’ll look around and find out what’s going on. Don’t worry about me. Look for Ronan if anything crops up.” Philip decided to leave Ronan in charge. Ronan did not object. He knew that Philip wanted to train him. He rarely interacted with others, so he had poor social skills. He had improved with Philip’s help, but his skills were still nothing compared to Philip’s subordinates. He was deeply moved by the opportunity that Philip had given him. “Sure enough, heroes will emerge from the youth. You two will have a bright future!” Wren said excitedly. Philip did not comment. After a few pleasantries, he wandered around with Rabbit. Selma and her people had no time for Philip. They finally found their predecessors, so they had many questions to solve. Philip was most interested in getting to the bottom of this mysterious place. It felt more like a cage designed to trap them. It was devoid of rich energy and other resources suitable for them. What was the purpose of the person b
A woman like Arachne who pursued her own happiness was usually frowned upon. A person who was willing to sacrifice for the family would be recorded in history forever. Weaver patted Ariadna's shoulder expectantly, believing she could carry it out. After all, he did not know what had happened between them earlier. Everything was a big mistake. “I don’t think I can complete this difficult task,” Ariadna said nervously, afraid that Weaver would put too much hope on her. Ariadna knew that Rabbit had a grudge against her. Moreover, some of her actions had offended Philip, who might ignore her because of that. Thinking of this, she wanted to decline the task, but Weaver was very firm about his decision. “As the holy maiden of the family, this task is yours. No one else can do it but you.” Weaver put Ariadna on a high pedestal, so all the pressure fell on her. Weaver left with the others, leaving the poor holy maiden behind. Arachne looked at Ariadna resentfully. The opportunity
“You never considered the consequences when you tried to take advantage of us. We brought them here, and they have the right to choose. Don't think about taking advantage.” Philip nodded at Fitz’s attitude. Sure enough, he liked this earnest man and was happy with his point of view. “If you want something, you need to pay a price for it. As I mentioned, I’m a businessman, so I prefer fair trade. I’m more than happy if you want to discuss a deal with me.” In fact, they had reached an agreement before the spider people arrived. Philip would not help the other three races for free, but he was not bad enough to charge them fees either. However, the spider people were different. Not to mention that Philip had a bad impression of them, but Rabbit’s grudge also remained unavenged. The spider people scowled at Philip’s disrespect, which was simply outrageous. The other races laughed gloatingly. The spider people had always been arrogant and domineering, preventing their developme
“I'm afraid that the snake people will strike a deal with him and monopolize everything.” The old man anxiously led everyone in the direction of the snake people. They could not miss the chance to share a piece of the pie. However, he did not intend to tell his people about it. The other two races no longer existed in the outside world, so it did not matter if they could not leave. It would be best to let their legends fade away in history. That idea was very selfish. Just when he thought he could grab all the benefits by stealth, the snake people shared the information without keeping it a secret. However, the snake people only shared the news with the other two races. They did not have a good impression of the spider people and even had the idea of leaving them behind. When the spider people hurried over, they found a crowd. They saw not only the young ones of the snake people but also those from the other two races. The other two races were the turtles and magpies. Just li
The old man felt annoyed when he saw the two women not getting along. He knew that the holy maidens of the family would face a lot of struggles. Ambitious women would try every means to cause trouble just to destroy the status of the holy maidens. By doing so, they could find ways to replace them. It was an underhanded method but effective. After all, not everyone could cope with the distinguished status of the holy maiden. One mistake could be fatal. Therefore, a holy maiden had to be prideful and flawless, just like an untainted and pure white lotus. The old man nodded thoughtfully. He did not think that Arachne looked like the holy maiden, and his suspicions were confirmed. She was not the holy maiden at all. Actions spoke louder than words. Arachne did not carry a regal bearing, so she would not act like a queen even if she wore a crown. At first, the old man wondered why the spider family would choose someone so unbefitting for the role of the holy maiden. Now that
At this point, an old man walked over. Although they usually maintained their true form, they sometimes took on a human form. Unlike the snake people who did not look very different between the two forms, the spider people looked outrageous in their true forms. “Are you one of the younger generation from outside?” The old man was curious to see the younger children's arrival at this place today. As someone who could not wait to make an impression, Arachne rushed forward and began to introduce herself. In short, Arachne was gradually taking over Ariadna’s position. Although the others were annoyed, they did not say anything because Arachne was really putting in some effort. There was no point in arguing about such things. The most important thing was to remove their curse. The old man was very excited and could not wait to welcome them. “This is wonderful. It has been thousands of years since we saw an outsider!” His eyes gleamed with excitement. “Tell me how you got in,” he
