Hansel laughed and said, “Master Stone, what are you afraid of? You’re one of the district masters of District 12, after all.” Tucker also laughed and said, “Master Clarke, even so, this is your Clarke family’s internal affairs. If an outsider like me intervenes and the main Clarke family takes offense, the result won’t end well for me.” Hansel fell silent. His eyes tensed as he asked, “Master Stone, are you sure you won’t help?” Tucker smiled and said, “Master Clarke, it's not that I don't want to help but this is… You should understand that I need to take care of my men. Helping the branch family at this time will pose a great risk for us. If there aren’t enough benefits for my men to risk their lives, I’m afraid I’m powerless to order them around.” At this point, Hansel naturally understood the meaning of Tucker’s words. He thought about it and said, “Master Stone, as long as you help the branch family tomorrow, not only will District 12 be yours but I’ll also give you ano
Philip gently pulled Wynn into his arms and said seriously, “Wynnie, don’t worry. I’m here. I’ll never let anyone do anything to hurt you, Mila, or Nelson.” Wynn hugged Philip’s sturdy back from behind, raised her head with a happy smile, and said, “Yeah, I believe you.” On the side, Mila sat on the sofa with her legs stretched out and snickered softly as she said, “Tee-hee, Dad and Mom are hugging. I want Dad to hug me too.” Philip let go of Wynn, turned around, and picked up Mila from the sofa with outstretched hands. He scratched her little nose and said, “You little imp.” Half an hour later, Philip walked out with Wynn and Mila, while the servants pushed Nelson’s incubator. Under the escort of the heavily armed Shadow Guards, they left the residence and headed for that white castle in the center of the entire Arcadia Island. Where that white castle was located, there was a huge and magnificent memorial hall shared by the main and branch Clarke families. Any major event
As soon as Wade spoke these words, the entire small square became quiet. All members of the branch family looked at the members of the main family with hostile eyes. Hansel added, “Wade, I think Philip simply doesn’t take the Clarke family seriously, let alone the ancestors! For a guy like that, he made the right decision to leave the Clarke family seven years ago! By coming back now, he's a disgrace to us! He even brought home some cheap trash from outside, which is even more shameful!” As Hansel said this, the members of the branch family started making comments filled with ridicule and sarcasm once more. “That’s right! Philip is not worthy to appear at the ancestor commemoration ceremony! In my opinion, a wrongdoer like him should be kicked out of the family!” “I heard that he broke Young Master Levi’s legs yesterday. Such a brutal man should be imprisoned in the dungeon and subjected to the Clarke family’s 108 tortures!” “What? He broke Young Master Levi’s legs? Damn it!
Many juniors from the branch family started to kick up a fuss again. More unpleasant words could be heard once more. Several juniors among them cursed Wynn and Mila the most fiercely, “Hmph, an outcast of the Clarke family brought home a sl*t and two wild dogs!” “If it were me, I’d have thrown myself into the sea long ago! What a disgrace to our Clarke family!” “I heard that Wynn Johnston’s background is quite complicated. She seems to be a descendant of the sinned blood?” A descendant of the sinned blood? For a while, people from the branch and main families who did not know Wynn’s background showed puzzled and grave expressions. Of course, this was arranged by Wade in advance as he bided his time and released a small signal first. “What is a descendant of the sinned blood?” someone started asking. A person stood in the branch family said with a sneer, “Being a descendant of the sinned blood is something atrocious. Let's put it this way, Wynn Johnston is the Clarke fam
The two slaps from Philip were very imposing, and the old man was stunned for a long time without reacting. Upon seeing Philip’s tall and upright figure, especially the faint coldness flowing from his body, many members of the branch family shrank back and dared not say anything for a while. As for the old man who was slapped twice, his eyes were red at this moment. His cheeks quickly grew swollen and were burning hot with pain! With round eyes, he glared at Philip, raised his hand, and scolded, “You arrogant brat, how dare you act so boldly in the ancestral memorial hall? I’m the old master of the branch family, your elder! You have no respect for the Clarke family rules at all! Men, come here and take this arrogant brat down! I’ll bring him in front of the ancestors’ memorial plaques and make him kneel and apologize to me!” Thud! In an instant, four of the branch family’s guards from the surrounding area came over with guns. Philip stood in place, his icy gaze sweeping ov
Suddenly, a sharp and angry shout resounded like tolling bells. “Presumptuous! Does the branch family have any respect for me, Tim Clarke, at all? How dare you point guns at my nephew here? Do you want to die?” Tim stood with his hands behind his back at the front of the family. Without turning around, his eyes were gazing straight ahead at the flower stands and flower wreaths in front. As soon as he finished speaking, the people of the main family behind him made a path for him. Then, Tim turned around while dressed in a black suit. He had his hands behind his back and walked steadily toward Wade and the others with chills all over his body. He swept his gaze over the guards of the branch family who raised their guns and said, “Put your guns down or be killed!” Seeing Tim’s appearance, the guards of the branch family looked at each other but still waited for Wade’s order. Wade chuckled, turned to Tim, and said, “Tim, they’re the guards of our branch family. Now that I'm
Tim snorted and said, “Why, is the branch family so impatient in drawing a clear line with the main family?” Wade stood up straight at this moment and gnashed his teeth, his eyes full of anger as he glared at Tim. He said, “Tim, stop playing word games. Attacking me is the same as disrespecting the branch family! In that case, why should I care about the main family? The branch family’s guards, listen to my command!” Following Wade’s roar, the dozens of guards from the branch family in the surrounding area drew their guns and pulled the safety. Their muzzles were pointed at the main family in unison. When the branch family’s guards made a move, the guards of the main family also drew their guns and aimed their muzzles at the people of the branch family without Tim's order. The atmosphere on the scene was on the verge of breaking out! Like walking on a tightrope, the slightest mistake would cause a chain reaction. Tim smiled faintly and glanced at the confrontation. He turne
He was simply going too far. He did not hold any regard for the old masters of the branch family at all. “What were you looking at just now?” Philip asked with a chill in his eyes. Hansel was taken aback before saying angrily, “What has that got to do with you?” Smack! Unexpectedly, Philip simply raised his hand and slapped Hansel across the face. Many people were shocked at this scene. Philip slapped another person just like that? Hansel was also stunned. What the hell was going on here? He had just taken one look. Was it really necessary to slap him in front of so many people? He was furious! Hansel roared angrily, “Philip boy, what the hell are you doing? How dare you hit me? I'm the sixth old master of the branch family, your sixth granduncle!” Smack! Philip slapped him again, looked at Hansel coldly, and said, “So what? The way you just looked at my wife and children was full of hostility. I’m warning you, if you dare to look at them like that again, your
“He lost his family when their enemies sought revenge while he was very young, so he's quite pitiful in a way.” Philip was not concerned about it. The life story of a loser had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Bryce was clearly up to no good. Getting to know him was a waste of time. “I found all the information he researched. To be honest, I’d think highly of him if he weren't up to no good.” Rabbit waved his paw smugly. He had looked through Bryce’s things and knew exactly what he had researched. Philip looked at a bottle of potion and could tell everything at a glance. “He’s a genius, indeed, but there’s no saving someone with bad intentions.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Bryce could only blame his bad luck for encountering them today. Carlos quickly took care of Bryce. There was no point in keeping such an evil villain. There was no need to be charitable in this situation. Adam looked at the room and sighed helplessly at Bryce’s unfortunate end. Although he had
Philip was curious about this situation. Since he could not get any information from the stubborn hooded man, he would find out indirectly. “That’s enough. Take him away. He has no value to us anyway. It's better to send him away.,” Philip said with disdain and did not take him seriously at all. The hooded man was shocked to hear that Philip was sending him away. He was nervous and afraid that Philip would do something to him. Although he was selfish and unreasonable, he was also a coward and afraid of death. Everyone sighed helplessly at his mournful wails. Adam closed his eyes, unwilling to get involved. Seeing this, Philip believed that Adam was unwilling to pay attention to his nephew, but he was still curious. If they were closely related, why would this guy's family sever all ties with Adam? It was advantageous to be on good terms with Adam. Not only would they receive guidance on practice, but they could also listen to his lectures from time to time. For example,
Philip and the old monk greeted each other happily as if they were old friends. Carlos was surprised to see Philip on such good terms with the high and mighty old monk. This was something he had never even dared to dream about. It was unbelievable that he could sit and drink happily with the old monk one day. “Let me introduce my friends.” Philip calmly introduced everyone around him, ignoring Carlos’ anxiety. Carlos stood up when he saw the old monk. “Hello, my name is Carlos. I admire you very much. I never thought that I'd be able to meet you one day. It’s my honor.” Carlos was happy and excited to get more perks than the guild leader. The old monk was quite friendly. After greeting Carlos with a smile, he looked at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “I want to find out if you know someone.” After saying this, Philip asked Carlos to bring the hooded man out. The guy was tied up tightly and looked pitiful. More importantly, his clothes had been stripped off,
The hooded man woke up very soon, and he could not believe that Philip caught him. “What's going on? How did you catch me? This is impossible.” He was very confident in himself and knew that no one could catch him so easily, but reality had just proven him wrong. He had no choice but to believe it. “What's impossible? You underestimate me too much!” Rabbit snapped furiously. “What’s your name?” Philip stared at the man curiously. He had a feeling that this person was the same as the old monk. “Rabbit, call the old monk over. I want to speak to him. He may not know you, so you need to tell him who you are.” After interrogating this man, Philip wanted to speak to the old monk and find out his opinion about this hooded man. Since the two gave him the same feeling, they had to be connected somehow. Rabbit hopped over to find the old monk. He knew that the old monk was the best referral for this matter because he was very powerful and knowledgeable. The old monk was resting
On the other hand, Lincoln was shocked to find that Hogster was dead. Lincoln had been watching the situation and knew that Philip was a powerful person. Everything was most likely related to Philip. However, he never thought that Philip could make people stronger. He had heard of some special circumstances that could improve someone’s strength. He had roughly guessed the implications but never paid much attention to the matter. In his opinion, the Hexa Guild was already ruined. If he wanted to save the guild, he had to get rid of Alain and his people. Lincoln had lost trust in the guild. If he had not left his seclusion by chance, he would not have bothered about anything. “Forget it. Stop throwing your weight around. Since your son died a tragic death, I won’t make things difficult for you,” Carlos said in disdain.He knew what Alain had done, so he did not have a good impression of him. Although his remark sounded a little hurtful, it felt good to say it. The other guil
“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
