Walton’s face instantly darkened as he gritted his teeth and said coldly, “Young Master Clarke, since you’re putting it that way, then the Seed family really wants to see what means you have.” Philip laughed and was about to make a move when Wilbur, who was standing at the side, said lightly, “Young Master Clarke, can you spare the Seed family on my account? There’s a special auction party at Le Reverie tonight. Can I invite you to attend?” Philip turned his head and scrutinized the cold demeanor of Wilbur Ellis. He could not see through this person at first glance. He was an interesting character. After thinking about it, Philip smiled and said, “Okay, I'll let the Seed family go for your sake.” “Haha, thank you then, Young Master Clarke. This way please.” Wilbur made a gesture of invitation. Philip walked forward, followed by Victor behind him. From the beginning to the end, he did not pay attention to Walton and Zachary who stood sullenly on the side. Philip could no
As soon as Kelsey said that, the great figures sitting at the jade onyx round table in this glorious side hall also cast strange glances at Philip. Most of them only took a second glance before they stopped paying attention. It was because all those who could sit here were powerful and remarkable people. Everyone had their pride and ego. Even Kelsey had to behave properly here. It was not that the Clarke family was not as good as them, but keeping a low profile was the only key to survival here. Moreover, most people knew Kelsey’s identity. They were courteous on the surface just to show some respect. They were here for the auction. When the bidding started, that would be when the competition really began. It was much more cultured than having a real fight. Wilbur invited Philip to step into the side hall. Victor followed closely but he was stopped by the bodyguards at the sides. Within three meters of the round table was a circle of black-suited bodyguards who were g
Immediately after, a woman in a red dress walked gracefully to Wilbur’s side while holding a document with both hands. Wilbur took the document from the woman's hand, picked up the pen, wrote in a flourish, and said to everyone, “From now on, Young Master Clarke is one of the core members of Le Reverie. This is the membership agreement. I believe everyone can see it.” Hearing this, everyone's faces darkened and their eyes fell on the indifferent Philip with a little more suspicion and hostility. Who on earth was this kid to make Wilbur take him so seriously? In the past, one had to go through various assessments to get Le Reverie’s membership. Now, for this kid, Wilbur just signed the documents on the spot. “Haha, since you’re already a member, there’s nothing else to say. Young Master Clarke, I look forward to having a good time with you.” Several people displayed friendly attitudes to Philip at this moment. Philip also greeted them one by one. “Thank you.” However,
From the moment they came in, the atmosphere in the whole hall became extremely tense! In the hall, many bodyguards of the prominent figures stood up at this moment, staring at the group of foreigners fiercely. The bodyguards of Le Reverie also stood on alert. At the round table, many people’s faces turned unpleasant and hostile when they saw the group of people who had barged in. “Oh, Calw, this is Le Reverie! We’re not in the West, much less the domain of the Hall of the Underworld!” Sigmund Steele spoke at this moment with hatred in his eyes. Calw, the Sacred Hall of the West? Philip frowned, and his gaze instantly fell on Calw. The words and actions of this guy revealed arrogance and high-handedness! Was he that envoy of the Hall of the Underworld? After Sigmund finished saying this, Calw stood with his hands behind his back and laughed. With a pair of menacing blue eyes, he stared at Sigmund and said, “Patriarch Steele, I just took some business away from you. Is
For a while, the atmosphere in the room was tense! However, Calw seemed unwilling to talk to these people. He pulled on his suit and tie, saying proudly, “People like you dare to compare yourselves to the Hall of the Underworld? Even the most powerful hidden families in your territory are beneath my hall. As for you all, you’re nothing but rich families from small districts or cities.” After that, Calw turned his head and said to Philip coldly, “I’m still going to say the same thing to you. Cancel your date with Miss Larson.” The pressure was overwhelming! Calw had long had his eye on this daughter of the Larson family. At his words, the four foreign bodyguards he had brought with him pressed their hands to their waists as if they were ready to fight! However, Philip stood up calmly at this time, picked up a crystal ashtray on the table, and weighed it in his hand. Exhaled heavily, he then said, “I didn’t want to get into a feud with the Hall of the Underworld so soon, but
When Calw heard this, his face instantly turned dark. He took the towel from the waiter, covered his forehead, and stared fiercely at Wilbur and Philip. He said angrily, “Wilbur, do you think I’ll be intimidated by just a few words from you? Are you trying to fool me into thinking you have a great plan when you don’t have one?” Wilbur chuckled. Everyone here was also taken aback before they started laughing. Calw was really funny. Wilbur smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you to know about war strategies, Mr. Calw. It’s a pity that you’ve got it all wrong. This is not an empty threat.” His words were filled with chills! In an instant, team after team of bodyguards rushed in from the entrance of this magnificent side hall. They were all the most powerful bodyguards in Le Reverie. They would only appear if there was an emergency. Stomps resounded throughout the entire underground floor! Even those who were enjoying the entertainment in the outer hall were startled by this
“F*ck off,” Philip said calmly. His voice was not loud, and one could hear a pin drop. The entire side hall quietened down instantly! Hiss! Everyone gasped! Outrageous! This Philip Clarke was simply too audacious! He dared to say these two words to Calw, an envoy from the 12 Sacred Halls of the West. He was from the Hall of the Underworld that was now in the limelight! It was enough to show Philip’s courage! Many people changed their opinion about Philip at this moment. His courage was commendable. However, Kelsey Clarke sneered inwardly. Was this damned Philip Clarke trying to show off in front of others again? F*ck! After hearing the two words uttered by Philip, Calw’s face instantly changed as he roared, “Arrogant fellow! I’m Calw, the holy envoy of the Hall of the Underworld! Insulting me is insulting the Hall of the Underworld! Lord Hades won’t let you off!” Furious! Calw was really angry! However, Philip shrugged very calmly and said, “Even if the
At this scene, the audience fell into dead silence. It was too shocking! Those people in front of their eyes were all genuine fully armed combatants! At first glance, it was obvious they were fighters who had experienced life and death on the battlefield! The awe-inspiring aura and killing intent filled the entire hall! Everyone was shocked speechless by the scene in front of them! The middle-aged man who took the lead was donned in a military uniform and the golden splendor on his shoulders was so dazzling that they felt surreal! Now that such a person was being so respectful toward Philip, it was simply hard to believe! One could imagine that this Philip Clarke’s identity was truly extraordinary. Philip looked at Mitch and nodded with a hum. “Since you’re here, let’s start.” Hearing that, Mitch turned around. With cold eyes, he stared at the trembling Calw and said indifferently, “Mr. Calw, I'm afraid it's against the rules for people from the Hall of the Underwor
“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
The Hexa Guild also claimed that they would kill anyone from the Celestial Palace. Although upset, no one dared to say anything in the face of the other party’s strength. It would be embarrassing if they could not live up to their claims if they retorted now. Moreover, the battle was a matter of life and death. Everyone was risking their lives. The Celestial Palace had the confidence to face the Hexa Guild now. They believed that they could turn the situation around with their strength or at least show them what they could do. There would be a battle between the two parties in the afternoon, which was the best time to show off their strength. The young lady of the Celestial Palace would be the one contending. After improving her strength, Vanna was full of confidence and vowed to give her opponent a fatal blow or at least let them know how powerful she was. Ronan was nervous. He was not worried about his wife but worried that the Hexa Guild would take things too far. Those
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
