In the afterglow of the setting sun, the purple-gold token reflected a dazzling cold light. The moment this token was taken out, Christian, who was standing at the entrance of the memorial hall, widened his eyes as his breathing became rapid. After that, without another word, he knelt on the ground and said, “Greetings to the grand elder.” Instantly, all the elders and people in charge of the branch family, as well as the young masters and young ladies, turned to Horace and bowed deeply. “Greetings to the grand elder.” For a while, these words resounded throughout the branch family’s memorial hall! Philip also trembled when he saw the purple-gold token in Horace’s hand. His third uncle actually got hold of the grand elder’s token. Behind him, all members of the Griffin Army knelt on one knee and said with bowed heads, “Greetings to the grand elder.” Their cries were more majestic and imposing than those people from the branch family. Like rumbling thunder, the sound e
Aria turned her head, looked at Horace disapprovingly, and said, “And you! Do you want to cause trouble with him too? Do you know what kind of place the branch family is? If Christian really had the intention to kill today, who would’ve been able to stop him?” Horace looked a little sullen and said, “But Aria, I did ask for the grand elder’s token, didn’t I? Besides, nothing happened.” “Say it again!” Aria coldly scolded. Horace was like a schoolboy who had made a mistake. He turned to Philip and accused him, “Why are you so stubborn? Why couldn’t you hold back a little? You just had to go and cause such a big fuss! Apologize to your third mother right now!” Philip felt helpless. He knew that his third mother loved him. “Third Mother, I’m sorry. I know I was wrong.” Philip lowered his head and said. Then, he took a step forward, pulled Aria’s delicate arm, and said, “Third Mother, don't be angry. I won't dare to do it again next time.” With that said, Philip even wanted t
Philip was dumbfounded at Dr. Garfield Gates’ words. Wynn had a hidden illness? She only had three years left to live? How was this possible? “Dr. Gates, are you sure?” Philip looked a little unhappy. If not for the doctor’s superb medical skills, he would have gotten someone to give him a bashing! Dr. Gates nodded with a look of regret and said, “Young Master Philip, there’s no reason for me to lie to you. Young Madam’s body is very special, indeed.” Philip frowned, and his heart was in turmoil. His breathing became very rapid and tense. Was Dr. Gates telling the truth? Wynnie… How could she have only three years left to live? “Dr. Gates, what the hell is going on here? How can she have a hidden illness? She looks fine to me,” Philip asked. Dr. Gates shook his head and narrowed his eyes. Through the window, he glanced at Wynn who was guarding Lydia at the bedside and asked Philip, “Young Master Philip, let me ask you. Did the young madam show signs of hemorrhaging
Dr. Gates sighed and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. Finally, he said, “Young Master Philip, have you ever heard of something called the golden blood in this world?” Philip abruptly reacted and said, “It has something to do with golden blood?” Dr. Gates nodded and said, “Young Master Philip, truth be told, 20 years ago, I was fortunate enough to have encountered a patient with golden blood. That patient’s condition was very similar to the young madam’s. She underwent two childbirths and had a hemorrhage during her second delivery. Later, her blood flow collapsed and her body quickly deteriorated. All vitality in her blood essence was lost. In less than three years, the patient passed away and left two children behind. “I have visited famous doctors and read various ancient books, but there’s no treatment for this disease. It can be said that for people with golden blood, regardless of men or women, the blood flow in their bodies will collapse at a certain age
After pondering for a moment, Dr. Gates said, “Multidew Herb.” Multidew Herb? What kind of medicinal material was that? After hearing this, Philip's entire face trembled as he inquired, “Dr. Gates, what medicine is this?” Dr. Gates shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and explained, “Young Master Philip, I don’t know this medicine either. It’s just something recorded in an ancient book. It’s said to be made from the juice of a hundred kinds of herbs that has absorbed sunlight and moonlight. It takes 3,000 years to form a plant. Then, the plant is taken and pounded into medicinal dew.” Dr. Gates raised three fingers as he said that, his face full of helpless distress as he shook his head. Philip did not feel well after hearing this. Was there really such a thing in this world? It sounded more like a plant from a fairytale. The plant needed 3,000 years to grow? The history of this country was only 5,000 years. “Dr. Gates, was this recorded in an ancient bo
“Young Master Philip, the 3,000 years mentioned in the ancient texts may not be very credible and perhaps just exaggerated.” Seeing Philip’s look of dejection, Dr. Gates coughed lightly and said, “However, don’t be discouraged. Although this prescription is hard to come by, I’ll try my best to read the ancient books again to find out if there’s a remedy to alleviate the young madam’s illness.” Philip nodded. He felt very empty, disappointed, and upset. “Dr. Gates, I'll be counting on you, then,” Philip said respectfully with a bow. Dr. Gates quickly helped Philip up and said, “Young Master Philip, you don’t have to do this. I’m just one of the Clarke family’s doctors and I should do my best. You don’t have to bow to me.” Philip did not say anything but looked at Dr. Gates very seriously and said, “Dr. Gates, don’t tell the young madam about this matter for now.” Dr. Gates naturally understood and answered with a nod, “I understand, please rest assured. I’ll go back and pres
At this moment, a tiny figure was rubbing her sleepy eyes. She was wearing a cute pair of pink pajamas and standing at the bedroom door. “Daddy.” Mila called out and walked in wearing big pink slippers. Philip smiled, bent over, and picked Mila up. He bopped her nose and asked, “Why are you awake?” Mila hid in Philip’s arms in fear and said, “I had a nightmare. I dreamed that Mom left me and went far away.” While saying that, Mila looked at the sleeping Wynn on the bed and wanted to call out to her. Philip immediately put a finger to his mouth in a shushing gesture and said, “Mom is asleep. Let me play with you for a while.” Mila nodded, looking very cute with her hair slightly disheveled. The father and daughter sat in the living room to play at this moment. While playing, Philip noticed a small object hanging from Mila’s neck. It was a small green bottle carved with patterns and there was a red string on both ends. The bottle was about the size of a little finger.
Wynn was stunned. Philip actually had a great-great-grandfather. Was that not her father-in-law’s great-grandfather? The generation gap was too huge! For a while, Wynn was a little flustered. She stared reproachfully at Philip and said, “Why didn't you tell me earlier? You nearly got me into trouble.” After that, Wynn took Mila, who was still drinking her milk, back to the room and started changing. About half an hour later, Wynn changed into a long white dress with a small trench coat. Her hair was coiled on her head, and she put on high heels. With light makeup on, she looked very savvy and approachable. “How is it? Do I look okay?” Wynn looked at herself and glanced at Philip expectantly. Philip stroked his chin, nodded, and said, “Okay, this is fine. The grand elder is not a particular person.” Wynn rolled her eyes at him and said, “How can we act so casually? No way, I’ll change into another outfit.” With that said, Wynn returned to the room. Ten minutes later, she
“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
