However, Charles stood with his hands behind his back with a proud look on his face. He said coldly, “I’ll never kneel!” After saying that, he turned to Martha and shouted in a manly manner for the first time, “Martha, get up!” Martha’s legs were weak and she did not want to get up at all. She had been tortured enough. Seeing her parents like this, Wynn felt her heart aching and she could not bear it. She put Mila down, rushed over, and pulled Martha up while exclaiming, “Mom, how did you end up like this? Quick, get up.” Martha looked up at Wynn miserably and wailed. “Wynnie, I don’t want to stay here anymore. I want to go home.” Charles stood aside, glanced at Martha, and scolded, “Weakling!” After that, he looked at Wynn with love and affection. He said earnestly, “Wynnie, we have let you down. You should stay here and be the young madam. Even if they beat me to death today, I won't say anything!” Hearing this, Wade shouted coldly, “Charles Johnston, are you senile? Ar
As soon as Wade said that, the small square of the memorial hall fell into a dead silence! Hiss! Everyone, whether from the main or branch family, gasped aloud. Then, with various looks of disgust, anger, and hatred in their eyes, they stared at Wynn who was beside Philip! She was actually a member of that family! That sinful family that shook the world a few decades ago, the one that countless forces were mobilized to exterminate! The Lovelace family! That evil family that was nailed to the pillar of shame! In an instant, all kinds of unpleasant words surged in the small square like a stormy sea. “What? She’s the sinned blood of the Lovelace family? Such a person can never become the young madam of the Clarke family!” “Of course! Such a sl*t with sinned blood flowing in her body shouldn't even set foot on Arcadia Island! She should be executed on the spot!” “That’s right, kill her! Such sinful blood is simply a disgrace to the people of the world!” Facing the c
Looking at Wynn whose eyes were red from crying, Philip felt very guilty and sad. Some things could not be concealed. Philip looked at Wynn and said, “I’m here to handle everything. You’re my wife and you’ll always be the young madam of the Clarke family. No matter who you are, no matter what blood flows through your body, as long as anyone dares to show their claws and fangs to you, I’ll eradicate them for you!” With that said, Philip got up. However, Charles suddenly grabbed Philip’s hand and said to him earnestly, “Philip, I’ve never begged you. But this time, I’m begging you to take care of this matter for Wynn. She—” Philip nodded and said, “Dad, don’t worry.” After saying that, Philip turned around and looked at Wade who was still prattling away with deep killing intent in his eyes! “Wade Clarke!” A deep and angry shout resounded throughout the small square. Wade turned his head with a sneer on his face. He looked at Philip who was walking to him with a gloomy f
Wynn half-knelt on the side as she supported Charles. When she heard Philip’s words, she raised her eyes that were red from crying and looked at him seriously with some hints of surprise. He was still the same person who had always loved her. Wynn cried. Although she did not know what sinned blood was and why the Clarke family became so aggressive when they heard that term, she knew that she had dragged Philip down and become a burden. She could not bear to see Philip make an enemy out of the entire Clarke family or the world for her sake. “Philip, don’t…” Wynn cried. However, Philip merely gave her a look of complete assurance and said, “Wynnie, trust me. You’re my wife, Mila is my daughter, and Nelson is my son. In this world, no one can hurt any of you.” After saying that, Philip turned around. His face was like the Grim Reaper, his eyes like a demon king, and he bore the intensity of an angry dragon. He stared fixedly at Wade and shouted, “Wade Clarke, as the heir of th
Wade looked at Roger and said, “Patriarch, you set the rules regarding the sinned blood of the Lovelace family back then. Anyone who sees the sinned blood of the Lovelace family must kill and eradicate them! Do you want to break this rule today? If so, are you still qualified to be the head of the Clarke family?” “Outrageous!” Horace shouted angrily and scolded, “How dare the branch family speak to the family head like this? Are you trying to rebel?” Wade laughed disdainfully and said to Horace, “Horace, at this stage, what’s the point of saying such things? Today, I’m here to set the record straight. I’ve arranged 10,000 guards outside, and they’re enough to overturn the entire ancestral hall. All of you here are within my reach! Today, either strip Philip of his status as the heir according to the family rules or punish the sinned blood and the two wild dogs according to the family head’s rules!” While saying that, Wade looked coldly at Mila, who was hiding behind Wynn. “Wh
The appearance of this group of 12 fully armed warriors instantly attracted the attention of the entire Clarke family because they had never seen such soldiers or guards before. Just the killing intent and chills radiating from them were enough to tell that this squad of 12 might be even stronger than a 100-member squad of the Clarke family! This was a cavalry built from a battlefield of life and death! There was a sense of soaring invincibility! 12 people of the Sovereign Legion approached the ancestral memorial hall. Each of the six men in front carried a black and gold wooden box in their hands. They passed through the crowd, walked up to Philip, and placed the black and gold wooden boxes in a row. Then, with a flick of their armored robes, these 12 people knelt in front of Philip on one knee. They bowed their heads and shouted in a muffled voice, “The 12 Legion of the Sovereign at your command.” Sovereign? It was just a simple phrase but all members of the Clarke
This was his trump card, but now that his confidants were killed, it also meant that his connection with the 10,000 guards outside was severed! In that case, what else could he use to blackmail the main Clarke family and force their hand? Had Philip predicted this long ago? Was there a traitor among his people? Philip chuckled as his eyes swept over Lex Clarke standing among the branch family members. Lex was impassive as he stood among the crowd. He was a spectator from the beginning to the end. This was what Lex had to prove himself. Philip accepted it. Then, Philip walked up to Wade who was furious but flustered. He said coldly, “Wade, now that you’ve lost your greatest support, what do you think I’ll do to you?” Although Wade was very angry at the moment, he soon calmed down and said with a sneer, “Philip boy, do you think that I’d be afraid of you just because you killed a few confidants of mine? Today, the main family must give a statement to the branch family.
A blood petition! This was a serious matter! The four elders of the law enforcement hall jointly filed a petition written in blood, and this was done during the ancestor commemoration ceremony. It was enough to show the determination of the branch family this time. Thump! The four elders of the law enforcement hall from the branch family knelt in front of the ancestral hall at this moment. They held the blood petition in their hands above their heads and announced aloud, “The four elders of the branch family jointly present a blood petition requesting the patriarch to punish Philip according to the family rules! Revoke his status as the heir and convict the sinned blood of the Lovelace family to wipe them out!” With this announcement, the four elders of the branch family prostrated on the floor and did not get up for a long time. In everyone’s sight, the blood petition was so eye-catching and alarming. Wade lay on the floor with a sneer on his face. He looked at Philip an
“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
