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
The Black Gold Rose generally never appeared in Clarke Manor because it was an external battle cavalry. With great military exploits all over the world, they were an invincible existence! Their presence was a signal. There would be a massacre! For the Black Gold Rose to appear in the Clarkes’ ancestral hall, it posed a bad foreboding. Morrow even thought of retreating. Black Gold Rose escorted Philip, Wynn, Mila, and Nelson in the incubator to stand in the hall. Wynn wanted to struggle. She could not figure out why her father-in-law was doing this. Was he really going to carry out the so-called trial and punishment upon her and Philip? Thus, Wynn immediately shouted, “Father-in-law, it has nothing to do with Philip. It’s my fault that this is all happening. I'm willing to bear all the consequences.” Philip glanced sideways at Wynn, whose face was full of tears. She was still thinking on his behalf until now. With a gentle smile, Philip whispered to Wynn, “Wynnie, it's
Faced with the grand elder’s inquiry, Morrow bowed his head and said, “Grand Elder, there’s still Wynn Johnston, the descendant of the sinned blood, and the two sinful children. They’re the enemies of the Clarke family and the entire world. They shouldn't live in this world. I also request to kill them per the family rules!” As soon as he said that, the entire small square was filled with chills and a murderous aura! This did not come from Roger or the grand elder. Instead, it radiated from Philip! With a face like a demon god and a voice like the roar of a dragon, he said angrily to Morrow, “Morrow Clarke, don’t take a mile when you’re given an inch!” Morrow knelt on the floor and said, “No, I’m not. I'm thinking of the Clarke family. If these descendants of the sinned blood are not put to death, I and all members of the branch family are willing to kneel in this ancestral hall forever!” “You’re courting death!” Philip shouted angrily and immediately pulled out the golde
Morrow trembled all over as he knelt there, bowing and shouting, “I have a clear conscience. Everything is for the sake of the Clarke family!” “For the Clarke family? Is that your reason? For the sake of the Clarke family, you’re forcing my hand! You forced me to strip the heir of his position and now, you’re forcing me to punish my daughter-in-law and two grandchildren with my hands. Does the branch family think doing these is for the sake of the Clarke family?” Roger shouted angrily, and the muffled thunder in the sky exploded. This sound was amplified infinitely and resounded through the sky! Morrow and other members of the branch family suddenly panicked. Roger’s prestige was too strong. “Patriarch, I only have the Clarke family in mind. I hope you can severely punish—” Morrow continued to shout. However, before he could finish his words, Roger waved his hand and shouted, “If you dare to speak another word, beware of getting killed!” Boom! A blast of thunder fell
50 percent chance of success was Morrow’s biggest estimation. Even if the 10,000 guards from the branch family were not strong enough, they were enough to flood the entire Clarke Manor. Morrow had planned this long ago. Without Roger’s mobilization, the Dragon Knights would never be deployed. It would be difficult to win just relying on the Black Gold Rose alone. Roger looked at Morrow coldly exhaled lightly, and said, “Morrow, I'll give your branch family one last chance to stop.” Hearing that, Morrow chuckled and said, “Patriarch, I don’t know what it means to stop. I’m only thinking for the sake of the Clarke family. Philip doesn’t deserve to be the heir of the Clarke family, while Wynn and the kids are offspring of the sinned blood. If this spreads out, the Clarke family will become the enemy of the whole world. We’ll be doomed! To prevent this from happening, I hope you can destroy the enemy by the roots!” “Well said! Are you asking me to kill my granddaughter and gran
All the branch family members who knelt in the rain felt the cold blades on their necks and wailed. Many people started to bow and shout. “Patriarch, I’m not involved in this. I just… Forgive me!” “Patriarch, don't kill us. We were wrong! Please forgive us!” For a while, many branch family members got up and were quickly brought to the side by the Black Gold Rose soldiers. In the middle of the ancestral hall, only a few remaining branch family members were still kneeling upright. They still exclaimed, “All for the Clarke family!” Seeing that the door of the ancestral hall was about to close, Morrow’s tears slipped from the corners of his eyes and mixed with the rainwater. Was everything over? Was this how it would end today? After such a long preparation, 10,000 guards of the branch family turned out to be no match for the Black Gold Rose cavalry under Roger Clarke! It turned out that Roger had been on guard against the branch family as early as ten years ago. H
“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
