Her voice was clear and crisp with a hint of a sweet-smelling fragrance that tickled the side of his ear and neck. Philip’s expression changed. He turned his head and looked at Rachel unabashedly. A smirk appeared on his lips as he grabbed her tiny waist and said domineeringly, “Are you trying to seduce me? Or did someone tell you to lay a trap on me with your beauty?” This woman, Rachel Clarke, was a vixen indeed. She shrunk back her body and turned around to escape from Philip’s arms. She then chuckled and said, “It’s okay if you think so. I’m just afraid Wynn will be jealous if she finds out.” She giggled as she said that, her eyes gleaming with charm. Philip chuckled and asked lightly, “You came here just to invite me to be alone in a room together with you?” Rachel covered her mouth, smiled softly, and said, “Yes, that’s right. I wonder if you can grant me the pleasure, Young Master Clarke? Tonight, let’s lay ourselves bare and maybe something will happen.” Lay ourselv
Half a day later. Sidney Wes had left Cloudside and was being sent to the Dunley family in Hampton at top speed! In the Dunley family’s mansion which was thousands of square feet big, Sidney was lying on the bed of a room in a separate courtyard. His legs and feet were wrapped with bandages and splints. Several loyal underlings of the Wes family stood guard at the entrance of the room. At this time, a figure approached from a distance while exuding an elegant aura. His hands were behind his back, and he was followed by several maids of the Dunley family. This person looked about 40 years old. He had a pale but smiling face, looking very cordial and easygoing. There were also several guards of the Dunley family at the door. Upon seeing the visitor, they bowed and greeted respectfully, “Master Spencer.” He was the fourth master of the Dunley family, Spencer Dunley. In the Dunley family, he had high prestige, was easy-going and elegant, and had great literary talent. How
Hearing that, Sidney immediately said, “Master Spencer, I beg you, you must avenge my father!” Spencer smiled lightly, looked at the jade pendant in Sidney's hand, and stretched out his hand. Sidney hesitated briefly but still handed the jade pendant to Spencer. It was because he knew that Spencer's fame and prestige were on par with the Dunley family's patriarch. He had the title of ‘little patriarch’ in the Dunley family. Spencer took the jade pendant, glanced at it, and said lightly, “I’ll pass your request to my third brother, but Sidney, do curb your anxiousness. Regarding this matter, my Dunley family will definitely help you to the end. You should take a good rest here. My third brother is on a business trip and will be back in a few days. When the time comes, I’ll bring you to see him.” Since he had already put it this way, no matter how stupid Sidney was, he could still discern the meaning. After being stunned for a moment, Sidney said, “I shall listen to you, Mast
Inside the study, Sterling and Spencer stood together, looking at the sky outside the window. The former stood with his hands behind his back and said with some emotion, “How is the situation in Cloudside?” Spencer stood half a step behind the other party and said, “Things are already clear. This time, barring any accidents, the Gentleman Court will lose a member.” “The Gentleman Court, huh? Even the lord of the alliance has to be apprehensive about them. I didn’t expect that old master to test the Clarke family’s reaction and bottom line at the cost of losing one person,” Sterling said. “We can’t get involved with the Gentleman Court. The Dunley family should sit on the stands and watch the fight from afar,” Spencer said. Sterling nodded before asking, “How are the preparations for the alliance’s chamber of commerce in Hampton?” “It’s almost ready. We can start next month. By then, everyone in the alliance will attend.” Spencer said, “Moses has invited Philip. I wonder if
Philip stood at the door and looked at that wonderful figure with a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth. He took a few steps forward and sat on the fluffy sofa. There was already a glass of red wine on the table, glinting mesmerizingly. Rachel turned around with a charming smile and moved to walk in front of Philip. She deliberately raised her leg high before crossing it as she sat down. She said with a smile, “You’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you for ages.” Her voice was soft and gentle, making people tingle all over. With such beautiful scenery of a charming woman and fine wine, any man would be moved. Philip smiled lightly, a trace of cunningness flashing in his eyes as he asked, “Tell me what’s your purpose of asking me here. It’s late at night. A man and a woman being alone in a room together can be very dangerous.” Rachel giggled alluringly, and her figure also looked seductive. “Young Master Clarke, what’s the matter? Can't we just sit and enjoy the vi
No one spoke for a while. Philip kept his piercing gaze on Rachel. After a while, a faint sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth as he asked, “If you were me and your daughter was kidnapped, sold abroad, and almost met with an accident, what would you do?” Rachel’s expression changed as she started explaining, “Chester was wrong in this matter. The lord has also criticized him for this. If you still feel angry about it, you can state your conditions for you to spare him.” Hehe. Philip sneered, got up, and walked to the French window. He looked at the black business cars parked on the dark street outside. Then, he said, “If I refuse, will those people you’ve arranged below rush in and take me down?” Hearing this, Rachel’s heart lurched and she felt beads of cold sweat seeping on her forehead. The temperature in the room also dropped suddenly. “Oh, Young Master Clarke, you’re really good at joking.” Rachel forced out the words after a long while. Philip did not laugh
As soon as these words were spoken, Rachel's face instantly became very unpleasant. She stared fixedly at Philip with her almond-shaped eyes and asked, “Are you really not going to spare Chester?”Philip did not need to answer. His silence was already an answer. Rachel’s eyes froze as a glint flashed across them. She said, “Everyone, come in!” Bang! The door to the suite was pushed open and instantly, a dozen thugs in black suits rushed in. All of them looked ferocious. “Philip Clarke, don't say I didn't give you a chance. Tonight, as long as you promise not to do anything to Chester Ludwig, I can let you go!” Rachel said coldly with her arms across her chest, her face showing a hint of warning. Philip looked very calm. He glanced at the dozen or so thugs behind her as a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said, “Do you really think you can make me change my mind with just these people? You’re underestimating me.” As he said that! Biff, bang! At the d
Before long, a Bentley quickly drove out of the Lambert family’s mansion. Those who had been lurking around also immediately dialed Chester’s number. At this moment, Chester was pacing back and forth in the suite, looking very anxious! Suddenly! A ringing sound. Chester quickly picked up the call and asked, “So, how is the matter going? Did you bring back the person? Was she in the hospital or the Lamberts’ place?” On the other side of the phone, the subordinate was panting and said, “Master Ludwig, we got the person. We’re now heading to the place you arranged.” “Good, good! Everything’s fine as long as you have her. I’ll have a look over there in a while.” Chester breathed a sigh of relief. After so many years, he should already be immune, but when he heard the news now, he was still excited for a moment! He got his trump card! It was also this time that another call came in. “Master Ludwig, we saw Nigel rushing to the hospital from the Lamberts’ mansion. He alrea
“What do we do with him?” Carlos asked. He wanted to skin the hooded man alive. Rabbit bared his teeth. “Kill him! Take off his clothes and hang him outside for everyone to see!” At this time, Alain finally noticed the commotion on this side. They were very noisy, so everyone kept looking over, trying to see what happened. Alain saw a familiar man lying on the ground. “What’s going on?” He walked over for a closer look and saw the hooded man! “What’s this? How could this happen?” Alain was dumbfounded. The onlookers had been watching, so they knew the situation. “What happened?” Alain asked in agony, wondering what happened. A kind onlooker explained, “Oh, don’t you know? That rabbit knocked the hooded man out!” Alain was taken aback by that remark. “How is that possible?” Alain was full of disbelief and thought someone had done something behind the scenes. Although he knew that the rabbit was powerful, he did not think it was strong enough to deal with the hooded
“You went too far! I’m well-respected wherever I go. How dare you treat me as a pet?” Although Rabbit had lost his memories after turning into an inanimate puppet, he could still deduce what had happened from Philip’s remarks. The hooded man was embarrassed to hear a rabbit reprimanding him. “If I can take you as my pet, that’s just a testament to my ability. If Philip couldn’t control you, what’s the big deal if I took you for my own?” The hooded man had always seen Rabbit as a pet, never a friend. Rabbit’s only purpose was to entertain him and fight for him. “Philip, leave this guy to me.” Rabbit was eager to take care of this guy. Carlos glared at the hooded man, certain that he had never seen him before. The hooded man also turned his attention to Carlos. From the match earlier, he knew that Carlos was from the Celestial Palace. In that case, he would have no reservations. He wanted to get to know someone from the Celestial Palace anyway. He ignored Philip and Rabbit
“What?” Carlos suddenly felt that maybe that rabbit in the hooded man's arms was Philip’s pet. “Stay here. I’ll take a closer look. I have a feeling that the guy is more than meets the eye. I think he was the one sneaking around my house.” After saying this, Philip walked over briskly. He had never seen such an arrogant thief. The guy was bold enough to appear in public after stealing someone’s rabbit. “Did you steal that rabbit from me?” Philip approached that man and asked solemnly without beating about the bush. The hooded man was taken aback by Philip's direct approach. “When did you appear behind me?” The hooded man was horrified to know that someone had snuck up behind him without his knowledge. It was as if Philip was immaterial. Feeling Philip's strength, the hooded man dared not say another word. He thought he was undefeatable, which was why he decided to watch the fun in person, but he got careless. “Are you saying that this rabbit belongs to you? Why don’t you
Jeff sneered at this scene and knew that it was time for payback. He did not plan to kill Hogster at first. After all, he was the young heir of a guild and represented the Hexa Guild. However, Hogster had pissed him off thoroughly. He had to kill Hogster at all costs. Thinking of this, Jeff raised the sword in his hand and stabbed Hogster. With that, everything was over. Alain closed his eyes at this scene. He shook his head in helpless agony. Due to the technique that he practiced, he could not have another child. Although he had been working hard to groom Hogster over the years, he had not stopped trying to get another child either. However, none of the women could get pregnant! Hogster was his only child so far. Unfortunately, his only son was dead. Under Jeff’s attack, he turned into dust and vanished without a trace! “How did things turn out this way?” Alain aged drastically all of a sudden and looked very haggard. The hooded man watched the scene warily, shocked
“What's going on? What drug did he take? It’s so powerful!” Jeff exclaimed in horror. All his attacks were ineffective, so what about Hogster’s attacks? At this time, Hogster attacked Jeff. His invincible mode would only last a few minutes. He had to seize the opportunity to take Jeff down. However, Hogster was not worried at all. In his opinion, dealing with Jeff was just a matter of seconds. “Go to hell!” Hogster made his move. He launched a killing move without holding back at all. Jeff was no match for Hogster at all. He was sent flying and fell to the ground miserably. Everyone looked at him with pity. Jeff spat a mouthful of blood and looked at Hogster in horror. Hogster had become so strong that he was no match for him at all. “Hehe, is that all you can take?” Hogster sneered. He was about to kill Jeff when the latter took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it. It was the same pill he had taken earlier. Sure enough, Jeff was back to normal after taking
“Wow, I feel so good as if I just had a massage.” Jeff praised Philip in his mind. After taking the pill, he recovered instantly. Even the ailments he had been suffering from in the past were healed. He was in such good shape that he could face Hogster with no problem. He even felt that he could resist Hogster’s attack this time. Philip nodded. Jeff was quite good. He had thought that Jeff was already defeated and would not even be able to move. However, Jeff forced himself to take out a pill and swallowed it. “He’s quite good at persevering and has a bright future. You can consider grooming him,” Philip said to Jamie. Jamie was surprised to hear such a high assessment from Philip. Jamie attached great importance to Philip's suggestion. Since Philip said so, he would develop Jeff properly. “Aren’t you very full of yourself? Keep going.” Jeff rushed forward and started beating Hogster up. Hogster was already dying and could not put up a fight at all. “Stop!” Hogste
The Hexa Guild had lost the earlier match, so Hogster was upset about it. Their guild should be undefeatable. They should have made a name for themselves by now, but everything was ruined. Although Hogster did not know why the Celestial Palace was so powerful, he had a feeling that they were cheating. “I’m the pride of the Hexa Guild while you’re just an ordinary member. Don't even think about resisting me,” Hogster said calmly, clearly looking down on Jeff. Of course, Jeff was not to be outdone. “My favorite hobby is to beat someone while they're down. Your guild's reputation is so bad anyway. Why bother holding on to it?” His remark struck the Hexa Guild’s sore spot, and all the members scowled at him. Indeed, the Hexa Guild had a very bad reputation. They could only recruit ordinary people who could not join other guilds but yearned to practice. “Hehe, cut the crap. We’ll know the outcome after a fight!” After saying this, Hogster charged at Jeff with a weapon in han
It would do the Hexa Guild no good to keep Vanna alive, so they would not allow it to happen. Although the members of the Hexa Guild were angry, they quickly cheered up. There would be several matches with the Celestial Palace to go. They could not lose their fighting spirit because of this trivial matter. “Let’s see how powerful the Celestial Palace is. I refuse to believe that we’re no match for them.” Hogster decided to take the stage because the upcoming opponent was just an ordinary member of the Celestial Palace. They were not very strong. In his opinion, an ordinary member could not be very strong. It would be easy to win this match, and it would save him a lot of trouble too. It would be bad if he faced a dark horse like the previous match. The hooded man saw the performance of the Celestial Palace and was surprised by their extraordinary strength. However, he did not notice anything unusual. He simply thought that it was their usual strength. Since they were so str
“This is interesting.” The hooded man glanced at the people discussing this matter and felt expectant. He could not wait to meet Philip. On the other hand, Philip was watching the competition and had no idea what was going on. “Oh, I see, you’re the young lady of the Celestial Palace. I thought you were very powerful, but this is all there is to you.” Vanna’s opponent was an ugly woman who was very upset with her beautiful appearance. Vanna looked at her mockingly. “The outcome has yet to be determined. I don’t think you’re any better either.” After saying this, Vanna looked at the other party, waiting for her to make the first move. The ugly woman was furious at Vanna’s provocation. “Very well. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, let me show you what I’m capable of!” After saying this, she attacked Vanna as if she were ready to get rid of her. She had received an order from the guild leader to deal with Vanna properly. The Hexa Guild had initially planned to qu
