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
In that instant, Philip felt as if he was struck by lightning. He froze on the spot and stared at Wynn in disbelief.The expression on his face changed constantly, revealing his suspicion. He said awkwardly, “What are you talking about? How could my dad be here?” Philip did not believe it. His father was in Riverdale? What was he doing here? Did something happen in Arcadia Island? Wynn already predicted that this would happen. She took out the token, handed it to Philip, and said, “Look at this. Father-in-law gave it to me.” Philip turned around. When his eyes fell on the token made of pure gold in Wynn's hand, he was stunned! The Dragon Seal! It turned out to be the Dragon Seal! Father was really here! Philip’s heart pounded. He took the token from Wynn's hand, looked at it in disbelief for a while, then turned to Wynn before asking, “You met my father?” Wynn nodded in assent. “What did you say?” Philip asked again. Wynn shook her head and said, “Nothing muc
At the gates of Cirrus Villa. When Roger's Rolls-Royce convoy appeared, the guards at the villa were a little confused. Who was this? Four Rolls-Royces. Such pompadour. However, there was no notification that Madam Wallis was expecting guests today. The convoy was stopped. The leader of the Wallis family's security team was dressed in black combat uniform, combat boots, and armed with a tactical headset. While holding a gun, he walked toward the first car. “Hello, this is a private manor. You’re not allowed to enter without the invitation of the owner. Please leave quickly.” The vice-captain was quite polite as he stated the facts. However, the two shadow guard members sitting in the first Rolls-Royce car slowly rolled down the window, and the driver glanced at the vice-captain standing next to the door with disdain before saying coldly, “Open the gates.” The vice-captain frowned. He had never met anyone who dared to barge into Cirrus Villa before! Even if the oth
“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
“Now that the spider people have found new blood, I’m afraid that things will worsen.” At this point, Fitz sighed helplessly. Rabbit jumped out at this time. He hated the spider people. Hearing their shameless behavior, Rabbit was agitated. “Sure enough, those spiders are up to no good. Philip, why don’t we just get rid of them? Take it as revenge for me!” Rabbit waved his paw and looked at Philip excitedly. He knew that only Philip could help him. The spiders might not be strong, but they had strength in numbers. They were not people to be trifled with. While Philip and the others were chatting, Ariadna and her people found the spider people. Arachne was very excited and smug, waiting to take all the credit. “As I said, we can find something we've been looking for if we enter this place! Sure enough, following Philip can help us overcome all difficulties and find our ancestral land and predecessors. So what if they're trapped here? They must have many more treasures and secr
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
