This was… For a while, everyone was flabbergasted. This was too much! The auction had not officially started but there were already bids! Moreover, Sheryl Larson’s first bid was already 500 million dollars! This was terrifying! Was this key really that valuable? It could even make Kelsey Clarke and the daughter of the Larson family do this! Sigmund frowned as he threw caution to the wind. He slammed the table and shouted, “Since it's something Miss Larson has her eye on, it's naturally something extraordinary. I’ll offer… 600 million dollars!” Sigmund Steele was only worth more than ten billion dollars, but he was bidding 600 million dollars in one go! This was a big deal! He was taking a gamble. Something that both Kelsey and Sheryl had their eyes on must be extraordinary. However, a mocking laugh was heard. “Patriarch Steele, you’re too stingy. Only 600 million dollars? Do you think we’ll let you off like this?” The person who spoke was a middle-aged fat man
Although they had never seen the Clarke family on Arcadia Island, they had learned about them through some channels. They were a true affluent family! They were the number one family in the world! The power of the Clarke family on Arcadia Island could even influence the economy of a small country! This was absolute strength! Thus, as soon as Kelsey spoke, the entire hall fell quiet. Even Sheryl Larson’s face was cold at this moment as she said nothing. After all, Kelsey had added another term—a favor from the branch Clarke family on Arcadia Island. This favor was priceless. Le Reverie would not refuse. Wilbur smiled and did not rush to make a final decision as though he was waiting for something. Kelsey’s face darkened as he asked, “Mr. Ellis, what’s the matter? No one else is bidding now and I’m the highest bidder. Why don't you just announce that the owner of this key is me, Kelsey Clarke?” Wilbur smiled and said, “Young Master Clarke, don’t be hasty. There’ll
Everyone was puzzled and looked at Wilbur Ellis. “Mr. Ellis, are you mistaken? Isn’t it Young Master Kelsey who’s getting this item? Why are you giving it to him?” The person who was kissing Kelsey’s *ss earlier asked with a face full of doubts at this moment. “Yes, Mr. Ellis, you must be mistaken!” “Who told you to take it? Young Master Kelsey has won the bid for this item. Hurry up and hand it over!” Someone glared at Philip with a flushed face, pointing at him while giving out the command. Before this, they were still standing on the same side as Philip. However, it was now every man for himself. One had to lament that there was an abundance of heartless people, and profit was paramount. Just as everyone targeted Philip, Wilbur interrupted and said with a smile, “Everyone, I’m not mistaken. This item has been sold to Young Master Philip Clarke.” Hearing this, everyone was shocked again! Was Wilbur Ellis out of his mind? Kelsey Clarke was the young master of the b
Thump! Everyone shuddered. What did Philip mean by that? Was he going to openly compete with the young master of the branch Clarke family on Arcadia Island? “Presumptuous! Young Master Clarke is the young master of the branch Clarke family on Arcadia Island. Who do you think you are? Don’t think you’re a big deal just because your last name is Clarke as well! In this world, only the Clarke family on Arcadia Island stands above the rest!” Mr. Chavez said angrily and spared no effort to suppress Philip. Following that, he turned his head to the sullen Kelsey and said, “Young Master Clarke, this guy is too arrogant. I suggest you teach him a lesson so that he understands your strength and means.” Kelsey’s heart choked with burning anger. He wanted to, but did he dare to do so? Smack! Kelsey slapped Mr. Chavez’s face and scolded him, “Nonsense! If I could do it, would I need you to teach me?” Mr. Chavez was baffled by Kelsey’s slap. He looked at him in confusion and asked
Everyone looked for the voice and saw an old man with a walking cane in a gray suit walking in from the door. The old man had gray hair at his temples. Although old, he was full of vigor! The aura radiating from the man made the atmosphere in the hall suddenly grow tense! Even from a few meters away, one could feel the man’s dormant aura that was as vast as an ocean! Behind him were four bodyguards in suits guarding him closely. At first glance, these four guards were not ordinary people but highly skilled elites. It was because their every move and their eyes conveyed a chilling and alarming intent! At one glance, Philip could sense that the power of these people was no less than the disciples of the Jensen family and not at all inferior to the Dragon Warriors! This old man was a formidable character! At the same time, everyone else was also full of doubts. They did not know the old man in front of them at all. However, Wilbur stepped forward, bowed respectfully to
“Old man, how dare you let your guard hit me? I won’t let this matter go. I’ll definitely tell my father to destroy your Le Reverie!” Kelsey whimpered and slurred. He was very angry, furious even! He had never been beaten before in his life! Of course, apart from being taught a lesson by Philip previously, this was his second time! He was the young master of the branch Clarke family. This old man Gilson dared to hit him and was not putting the branch Clarke family in his eyes at all! However... Pearce sneered and said, “Hehe, even if your father Christian Clarke were standing here, he would only say that I’ve done the right thing by hitting you.” This sentence shocked everyone in the side hall! For Pearce to say this, it went to show that he was not simple at all. Philip also gave Pearce a sideways glance. It seemed that this old man was not easy to deal with. Even the branch Clarke family did not mean anything to him. When Kelsey heard this, he immediately explod
At that moment, the entire crowd in the side hall was flabbergasted! All of them stared at the bemused Philip in horror! Philip quickly said to Pearce at this time, “Old sir, you don’t have to be so polite. Since you were the Clarke family’s teacher, I’m your junior.” Pearce nodded with a smile and commented, “Sure enough, a true diamond can only be found in the rough. Young Master Clarke, you’re a man of great talent. With an heir like you, the Clarke family can surely persevere for generations to come.” Hearing these words, the others who were still in shock quickly greeted Philip, “Young Master Clarke!” Mr. Chavez from earlier completely lost his composure at this moment. He quickly ran to Philip and said, “I’m sorry, Young Master Clarke. I was too ignorant just now. If I’ve offended you in any way, I hope you can be generous and overlook my recklessness.” With that said, Mr. Chavez bowed with a humble attitude. Philip simply glanced at him and said, “Mr. Chavez, there
Speaking of this, Pearce suddenly got up and bowed deeply to Philip. He said solemnly, “I implore you, Young Master Clarke, to help the Gilson family.” At this scene, Philip quickly held Pearce and said, “Old sir, what are you doing? Get up quickly. Let’s have a good talk.” Pearce refused to get up and said, “Young Master Clarke, I wasn’t sure about this matter at first, but after seeing you today, I know that only you can save the Gilson family. As long as you promise to save the Gilson family, I’ll definitely repay you no matter what I have to do!” Philip was anxious. He quickly signaled Wilbur to pull Pearce up and said, “Old sir, you don’t have to do this. If you have any requests, I’ll oblige. Besides, this is the condition I have offered in exchange for this key. If you have any request, you can say so directly and I’ll certainly do my best to help.” Only then did Pearce stand up and say to Philip, “Young Master Clarke, the Gilson family is in deep trouble. My daughter, T
“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
