It was impossible for her to call him ‘Daddy’! It would be too humiliating! However, an angry rebuke immediately came from the phone. “Mandy Una, I’m your mother and the master of Griffin Pavilion. How dare you disobey my orders? Release him immediately! Whatever the other party wants you to do, you must do it!” Mandy looked flustered. This was the first time her mother scolded her like this. After a while, Mandy hung up the phone. Her face was very sullen, and her eyes were full of indignation and resentment. Philip chuckled and asked, “Well, why don’t you try saying ‘Daddy’, Miss Una?” Seeing Philip’s triumphant and cocky posture, Mandy was extremely annoyed. She squeezed her fists hatefully and said, “Let’s go!” “Wait a minute!” Philip shouted. Instantly, Garth’s Snapdragon squad and the combatants quickly surrounded Mandy and the others! “Have you already forgotten the bet we made just now?” Philip smiled lightly with a taunting expression in his eyes. Mandy was
Everyone heard her shout. Ethan was the first to laugh out loud. Mandy glared angrily before turning around and leaving the place on her high heels. Philip glanced at Mandy as she left, and the smile on his face slowly turned grim. “Brother, what are your plans for the next step?” Ethan walked over, putting away his cynical attitude. “Look into the people behind her. Griffin Pavilion of the Nonagon, well done. I’ll remember you,” Philip sneered. Ethan nodded and responded, “No problem. Count on me.” Philip nodded and turned to Garth. He bowed slightly and said with a smile, “Grand Commander Santos, I’m sorry to have troubled you.” Garth was flattered and quickly said with a bow, “Mr. Clarke, you’re too kind. Had Supreme Williams not contacted me personally, I wouldn't have known that these fools under my command had actually arrested you.” Philip frowned and asked, “Teacher?” Garth nodded and said with a smile, “Yes, Supreme Williams contacted me personally. It can be
Victor rushed up to greet Philip even though he still needed someone to support him. It seemed that Victor was hurt badly by Hal Weiss’ kick. He hurriedly said to Philip, “Young Master Clarke, you’re back.” Philip nodded and asked, “Is Madam asleep?” Victor shook his head and said, “No, Madam has been worried about your safety.” Philip responded and said to Ethan who was full of excitement behind him, “Let’s go and meet your sister-in-law.” Ethan replied happily. He was now a bird out of a cage and could not wait to have fun. Victor glanced at Ethan next to Philip and immediately nodded respectfully. Ethan smiled, patted Victor on the shoulder, and said, “Thanks for your hard work.” Then, Philip led Ethan upstairs. Inside the hotel suite, Wynn was jittery like a cat on a hot tin roof. She was calling contacts everywhere, but there was no news at all. Lydia Jensen kept Wynn company in the room, constantly comforting her while saying, “Sister Wynn, don’t worry. Brother
The Lovelace family? Hearing this name, Philip’s heart jolted! There were survivors in the Lovelace family? Moreover, they had found their way here! Philip’s face instantly became extremely unpleasant as he asked Lydia, “Are you sure my father-in-law and mother-in-law met up with two strange people?” Lydia nodded vigorously, took out her phone from her pocket, and said, “I even took photos. Look.” With that said, Lydia found the photos she had secretly taken. Philip glanced at the phone and saw several photos of an unfamiliar man and a woman. Charles and Martha seemed to be sending them off. It could be seen from the photos that Charles and Martha looked very unhappy! Philip frowned and said to Lydia, “You’ve worked hard these days. Don’t tell your Sister Wynn about this, understand?” Lydia naturally understood. She nodded cleverly and said with a smile, “Brother Philip, I’m not stupid. I know what to do. But after they met the two strangers, Martha approached Sister
After staying with Wynn for a while, Philip went to the hospital to visit Anne. She was still in a coma but all indicators were good and she would wake up soon. After all, he had hired the best medical team in the world. Several medical experts and masters were very respectful and polite upon seeing Philip. They chatted for a long while. After half an hour, Philip came out of the hospital and stood at the entrance, looking at the beautiful sunset and weather. He would like to spend his life in a small town just like this, accompanied by Wynn and their children. He wanted to grow old together with them. However, with everything that happened recently, there were obviously a few big hands in the dark seeming to be plotting something, flipping the dials of time. Philip also felt many things engulfing him. It seemed that he could only find out everything after he returned to Arcadia Island and met his father. Yes, it was time to go back. Looking at the sky, Philip took ou
Connor and the other two were slightly surprised at that announcement. Philip was going back? Connor’s face darkened as his grip on his cane tightened. He said mockingly, “Philip, do you really think you can return safely?” Philip shrugged and said, “What do you think?” Connor merely laughed without saying anything. Behind him, Levi seemed anxious and shouted at Philip angrily, “So what if you return? The branch family is still the branch family. No matter how long your hands may stretch, the main family cannot interfere with the branch family!” Levi was actually very worried about Philip’s return. If that happened, would that not mean he was going to inherit the main family and the entire Clarke family? He had not been back for almost seven years. With his return now, how many people would be plotting in the dark? Levi would never allow this to happen, and the branch family would never allow Philip to go back like this! Philip glanced at Levi with a sneer and said, “
“Philip Clarke, how dare you hit me? I definitely won’t…” Levi clutched his stomach and snarled, his face turning blue. However, before he could finish his threatening words, Philip went over and stepped on his head so hard that Levi's cheek was crushed against the carpet! Instantly, he felt as if his cheek was crushed by a tractor. His head was aching as if it was about to explode! Pain! The pain was excruciating! “Ouch! It hurts… Philip, remove your foot!” Levi’s whole body fluttered like a chick being stepped on. His face was flushed, and his eyes were bloodshot. This scene naturally made Connor and Allen furious! “Outrageous! Philip, let go of Levi immediately!” Connor got up and pointed his cane at Philip while roaring angrily. Next to him, Allen also yelled, “Philip, Levi is the eldest young master of the branch family. By being so rough on him and torturing him, I’ll definitely complain about you in front of the chieftain and Roger Clarke when we return!” How
Connor’s heart almost exploded from those words! It was because of the terrifying look in Philip’s eyes when he said that! He had only seen this kind of look on Roger Clarke before! It was the kind of look that contained the domineering aura of superiority! “W-What do you want to do?” Connor stammered slightly as cold sweat dripped from his forehead. Philip chuckled, the smile on the corner of his mouth turning more chilling as he said, “In your eyes, I’m just a good-for-nothing who relies on the main family and my father. You don’t think I’m worthy of being the heir of the main family at all. But, how would you know about what I’ve prepared over the past seven years? You’ll see it soon, and I hope that when the time comes, you won’t be too surprised.” Hearing that, Connor’s heart twitched. When he saw Philip's profound eyes and confident smile, his heart thumped rapidly! What did Philip mean by that? Was he going to fight against the branch family alone? That was sim
“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
