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
All the Wallis family’s guards were stunned silly at those words and exchanged glances with each other in shock. How dare they order Madam Wallis to come out here? This person was too arrogant! What did he take this place for? “Who are you? It's a capital crime to break into the private residence of the Wallis family!” This time, a person with a bit of authority finally appeared. He was the captain of the Wallis family’s guards. “Ignorant fool!” Fulton raised his eyebrows and put his two fingers together. He shot a flying knife from his waist, almost in a split second! Swoosh! The air distorted! A flash of cold light exploded! Thud! The captain of the guards was about to continue speaking when a cold light flashed in front of him. Immediately following that, he covered his neck with both hands as blood gushed! A flying knife had directly penetrated his throat, the blade glinting under the sun! “Ahem… You… Ahem.” This happened too quickly! In the next s
After her words fell, Giada stepped out while leading her people and walked out of the hall. Miguel did not bother to get involved, so he pulled a maid into the room and started his wonderful life. Here, at the gates of Cirrus Villa, all eight shadow guards had gotten out of the cars. They were confronting the dozens of death warriors and guards of the Wallis family. In fact, the shadow guards could easily deal with all these people. Even if another platoon turned up, it would be a piece of cake for them. However, the master had given orders for them to keep a low profile. The eight people looked indifferent. Compared to the dozens of death warriors standing nervously on the opposite, they were simply strolling around leisurely. The atmosphere on both sides could not be more different. One side was flustered while the other was laid back. In the eyes of the shadow guards, these people were shrimps that were not worth mentioning. After a while, there was a commotion
After that, Miguel was taken to the hall in a disheveled state with several guards standing behind him. As for the housekeeper, he dragged the maid along and threw her into the living room before yelling, “B*tch! How dare you seduce the young master?! Men, drag her out and execute her!” “Ah! No, I won’t do it anymore. Please let me go!” The maid sobbed bitterly while naked, grabbing Miguel and begging for mercy. “Young Master, please speak up for me. I don’t want to die!” However, Miguel just glared at her angrily. He then went up, kicked her, and cursed, “F*ck off!” Such a farce was witnessed by Roger who was by the door. Giada was even more furious. In the past, no matter how Miguel fooled around, she would not intervene. However, today was different. Roger was present. “Miguel, get out right now!” Giada rebuked as she motioned with her eyes to the housekeeper. The housekeeper quickly grabbed Miguel and whispered, “Young Master, there are guests at home. Let’s g
As soon as this was said, the temperature in the entire hall dropped sharply! The coldness was terrifying! Even for the arrogant and domineering Miguel Wallis, when he came into contact with the cold gaze of 24 at this moment, sweat beaded unconsciously on his forehead as he swallowed a mouthful of spit. What a strong killing intent! The other party really dared to kill him! This was Miguel's most intuitive feeling! However, according to Miguel’s temper, how could he take this lying down so easily? He was very upset and immediately yelled, “Someone like you dares to kill me? Do you know who I am? I’m Miguel Wallis!” 24 snorted, looked back at Fulton helplessly, and asked, “Boss, is it okay if I kill him?” When he said this, 24 was completely indifferent. Even Giada, who stood next to Roger at this moment, dared not open her mouth to say anything. She blamed herself for pampering him too much, so much that he was so defiant now. “Miguel, you’re too presumptuous!”
Roger smiled and said, “Let’s wait for him to return before we discuss this matter. You should do your duty in taking care of the cooperation between the main and branch family. Don’t be too concerned about other things. I’ve my own arrangements.” It was a warning in disguise. Of course, Giada could discern the meaning. He was telling her not to dip her fingers in too many pies. Her handling the cooperation with the branch family was more than enough. However, how could Giada be content with that? Her ambition was not just the cooperation between the main and branch families. She wanted everything from the Clarke family and the power of the entire Arcadia Island! She wanted to complete the magnificent conquest that the Wallis family had not achieved for many years! Therefore, upon hearing this, Giada’s eyebrows furrowed. She raised her eyes to look at Roger and said, “You’re still wary of me.” Roger acquiesced, took a sip of the tea in his hand, and said, “Once the taste
“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
