“Hahaha!” With a loud laugh, Connor said, “Philip, do you think you can do anything to me with just this? Are you going to give this to the people of the law enforcement hall? Dream on! I can also say that this whole thing was self-directed by you!” Philip already knew that Connor would say this. Standing with his hands behind his back, he looked at the three people indifferently and said, “I know that I can’t do anything to you with this. As long as the branch family steps in, it’ll be like it never happened. However, if you think that I’m afraid and dare not do anything to you, then you’re very wrong.” Hearing this, the faces of Connor and the others darkened because they felt a chill and killing intent from Philip's body as well as eyes. “What do you want to do?” Connor asked with a frown as he felt a bad premonition. Philip smirked and glanced indifferently at Allen as he said, “I’ll give you a way out. As long as you go back and testify against him, I can ignore the pa
In an instant, Allen was thrown down! “Argh!” A scream resounded throughout the cruise. Splash! Allen plunged into the sea from the deck that was more than ten meters high! That huge impact rendered Allen unconscious in the sea! When he sucked the seawater into his lungs, Allen woke up with a jolt. He gulped a big mouthful of salty seawater into his stomach, which entered his lungs through the nasal cavity! At that moment, Allen felt like he was going to die! He could not breathe at all, and his lungs were suffocating to the point of exploding! He tried to struggle but his hands were tied up as he sank deeper into the water. He only saw the bottom of the huge cruise, the rotating propellers, and many schools of fish around. He even saw a few huge black shadows swimming around the bottom of the sea and the cruise! At that moment, Allen felt like he was going to die! Splash! He was hoisted up and half of his body was above the raging sea. Allen suddenly felt
Dropping the rocket launcher, Philip clapped his hands, looked at Allen, who had fainted from fear, and said, “Pull him up.” A few minutes later, a drenched Allen lay on the deck. Philip had changed into a white bohemian shirt with black casual pants. He had on sunglasses as well. He stood with his hands behind his back. With the sea breeze blowing, his sturdy figure was exposed under the sun, and he looked extraordinarily handsome. Just like a prince on the sea! At this moment, he put his hands in his trouser pockets, glanced at Allen who had passed out, and said, “Wake him up.” A guard stepped forward and slapped Allen twice. Allen threw up the seawater and a small fish. It fell limply on the ground, while Allen’s face was pale. Connor and Levi had been witnessing Philip’s methods from the sidelines since the start. Too scary! This guy actually dared to attack a member of the branch family! Following that, Philip looked at Allen who had woken up, and said, “I thou
Martha’s words silenced the jubilant voices on the scene. The welcoming crowd stared at Martha in amazement at this moment. This middle-aged woman looked like an ordinary housewife at a glance, and she was also dressed in ordinary clothes. How dare she say such flippant and chastising words to Fifth Madam? Oh no! Something was about to happen! Sure enough, the gentle and elegant woman with a loving smile on her face suddenly froze. A cold light flashed from the corner of her eyes. She squeezed out a smile and asked, “What did you just say?” When Philip saw this smile, he knew it was over. His fifth mother was definitely the mildest-looking but the most irritable person on the island! Even his father had to back down somewhat when his fifth mother got angry. At this moment, seeing the indifferent smile at the corner of Fifth Mother’s mouth, Philip knew that Martha’s good days had come to an end. However, Martha was oblivious and glanced suspiciously at the people aro
Hearing Philip’s words, Nadia asked worriedly, “Do you really want to do this? Phil, listen to my advice. You just came back and can’t be independent yet. There are many things on the island that you don't understand. The influence of the branch family is deeply entrenched on this island. If you go head-on against the chieftain like this, you’ll get into trouble.” Philip smiled and said, “Fifth Mother, don’t worry. I have my plans.” After saying that, he turned around and returned to Wynn’s side. Nadia stood there and watched as Philip chatted with Wynn. She shook her head helplessly and smiled. This child was still the same as before, and also the same as his father—unwilling to talk to others whenever they did anything. “Fifth Madam, should I secretly arrange for someone to spy on the movement of the branch family?” A personal guard beside Nadia asked with a serious and rigid face at this moment. Nadia thought about it and nodded while saying, “Fine, go and sniff out th
This was just the edge of the estate but there were already many villas, golf courses, leisure clubs, open-air swimming pools, zoos, and so on. There were even buildings that looked like palaces—magnificent and beautiful. Expensive trees and flowers from various countries could also be seen. There were world-class florists pruning and tending to them. Many servants and butlers in black and white uniforms also walked around. They would respectfully stop and bow when they saw the convoy. At this sight, Martha looked like she had never seen the world before. She grinned broadly from ear to ear, her eyes wide open. She was excited beyond belief. She chattered incessantly the entire way. “Charles, look at this.” “Charles, look over there.” “Wow, and that!” “Is this my son-in-law's house? This is simply a palace! It’s too luxurious! This is what a wealthy family is like. My goodness, what blessing I have in this life to have such a son-in-law.” Martha was so excited that
At this moment, everyone got out of the cars and was stunned by the sight of the vast manor in front of them! For more than ten minutes, they could not recover their senses as if they had arrived in a fairyland. They saw a whole row of classic castle buildings with five or six floors, all grand and majestic. It was just like the Palace of Versailles, with drawings of the gods ascending to the sky. It seemed to carry traces of myths and history of various countries. A huge golden-bronze gate stood in the center of this classic castle building carved with world maps and various mythological characters. Everything looked like a treasure of humankind. Martha was already shocked by the scene before her eyes and could not stand still anymore. When she got out of the car, she realized how luxurious and big this place was. It was really very big, too big for her to imagine or understand. In the world, there was actually such a large manor and such a luxurious interior! At thi
Martha was dumbfounded at Philip’s words Lucky? Why did it sound like a dog’s name? Philip was not going to let her sleep in the doghouse, right? For a moment, Martha panicked. She quickly grabbed Philip’s arm and said with a smile, “Son-in-law, don't be ridiculous. I’m your mother-in-law, after all. And I’m Wynn’s mother. How can you bear to let me stay in a doghouse? It doesn’t sound good if word of this spreads out.” Martha laughed and the wrinkles on her face squeezed together, looking very ugly. Hehe. Philip turned his head, pulled his arm away from Martha’s grip, and said coldly, “Do you think I'm joking with you? Do you think I brought you back to enjoy life?” Thump! Martha panicked and stammered, “Isn’t that so?” Philip shook his head, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. He said to the servant, “Take her away.” Hearing that, the servant motioned to two bodyguards in black suits who dragged Martha away. This caused Martha to panic. She stru
“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
