On the other hand, Matriarch Stow, one of the few female family heads in the meeting room, remained calm and did not speak. The rest of the heads also fell silent when they heard the opinions of Patriarchs Crawford and Jones. “I agree with Patriarch Jones. We can’t give in!” “That’s right! What can the Supernatural Bureau do to the entire North? We mustn’t compromise!” Someone shouted. “But don’t forget that the South won the competition the other day, and there’s also that Mr. Clarke. I heard that the force behind him is not that simple. Even Grandmaster Turner failed to kill him. It’s rumored that another powerhouse a half-step to the other shore appeared and stopped Grandmaster Turner.” An uncanny voice sounded in the meeting room. Everyone raised their eyebrows when they heard this. Yes, even Grandmaster Turner failed to kill Philip Clarke, which went to show that the force behind him was not simple. “Say, does anyone know the identity of Philip Clarke? I don’t th
Philip’s remark was like a bomb that detonated in the meeting room. In an instant, the meeting room was full of bubbling emotions, and the heads of the Northern disciple families were very agitated. By saying such words, Mr. Clarke did not take them seriously at all! “Arrogant! Don't think that you can belittle our Northern disciple families just because you destroyed the Singer family!” “That’s right! We have more than a hundred disciple families here, and we’re not pushovers! If we join forces, our strength is not something a junior like you can withstand!” “Outrageous! The North will never agree to this!” Hearing everyone’s angry rebukes, Patriarch Jones smiled and said, “Mr. Clarke, we know you have the power to destroy the Singer family, which is enough for small family heads like us to fear you, but this is a matter of survival for the Northern supernatural disciples. We’re not people who will give in just to survive. If you insist on forcing this matter, I'm afraid y
After saying this, Patriarch Crawford looked very grave. All the Northern family heads present also put on a united front. After a while, Philip got up and said, “It seems that you’ve made up your mind.” Patriarch Crawford smiled without comment and looked at Philip indifferently. Philip also stared at Patriarch Crawford and said, “Patriarch Crawford, since you want to take the lead, let’s start with you.” Hearing this, Patriarch Crawford was taken aback for a moment. He scowled and said, “What do you mean?” Philip smiled wickedly and said, “What do I mean? You’ll find out later.” At this moment, the meeting room door was pushed open again. A tall female assistant ran in breathlessly and shouted, “Patriarch Crawford, it’s bad! Something has happened!” Hearing that, Patriarch Crawford turned around with a chill in the corners of his eyes and stared at the female assistant’s heaving chest. He asked coldly, “It’s such a disgrace for you to be running and shouting like th
The tide had turned. The outcome had been decided! Philip glanced at Anton, patted him on the shoulder, and said, “Very good. You’ll get what you want.” Hearing this, Anton was so excited that he knelt and shouted to express his loyalty, “The Jones family swear our allegiance to you and will serve you to the death!” When the other heads saw Anton kneeling, they hesitated. When Philip looked over, most of them knelt. “We await Mr. Clarke’s order!” The shouts continued endlessly. However, some stubborn people remain standing. They looked angrily at the kneeling heads and yelled, “You guys are shameful! A disgrace! How did the Northern disciple families turn out this way?” Philip looked at those people with admiration. He said, “Patriarchs, I admire your courage to remain standing. To be honest, I hold no grudge against the Northern disciple families, nor do I want to cause any grudges. Merging the North and the South will be of great benefit to the North. I don't kn
Speaking of Grant Lovelace, Philip asked, “By the way, when my wife went to Cherry Villa the last time, what did she take with her?” The relationship between Philip and Wynn had been made known to Leon. Leon also knew that Grant was Philip’s father-in-law. Leon frowned and said, “It was something Grant brought back from the stargate back then. It’s said that it can reveal a secret, but no one knows what secret it is. “If the legend is true, there should be four of these things in total. Grant got one, and the other three should be in the hands of three of the remaining people back then. “If these four things reveal their secrets at the same time, it’ll cause drastic changes. “Patriarch Clarke, your father, Roger Clarke, once predicted that the secrets behind these four things implicated too much. Besides, they could not be opened with their strength at that time. So, the four items have always been kept by them.” Hearing this, Philip frowned. Four items, four secrets.
Hearing this, Philip nodded and said, “Tell me if you have any news. The fact that Fitzgerald Hale isn’t dead is very important! “By the way, what’s the situation with Christian Clarke and the branch family?” Philip asked. Tango smiled and said, “Young Patriarch, the branch family has been quite well-behaved recently. Christian is still under detention in the memorial hall. Without the lord’s permission, he can’t leave. After all, the entire branch family is now under the lord’s control. If Christian insists on coming out, the entire branch family will go down with him. So, Christian won’t do anything rash for the time being, but…” While saying that, Tango looked a little hesitant. “Go on,” Philip said. Tango said, “Levi Clarke, the new chieftain of the branch family has been up to some things recently. But since he’s the chieftain of the branch family, I have no right to interfere. I can't do anything to him.” Hearing that, Philip nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll get someone t
Looking at the record, it seemed that Levi met a mysterious person recently and started secret activities in the dark against Philip and Riverdale. “Who is this person that Levi met?” Philip frowned. There were videos and photos in the chip, but they were blurry due to the far distance. The other party deliberately concealed his identity, so he could not tell at all. Huff! Philip exhaled and felt a headache. The branch family had not given up on the main family yet. After thinking about it, Philip dialed a number and said, “Arrange some members of the Legion of the Sovereign to be stationed in Riverdale. In addition, transfer some of them to Fernvale. After they arrive, await my orders.” “Yes, sir!” A gruff male voice came from the other end of the phone. After ending the call, Philip took his mobile phone and paced around the hall. He made another call and said, “Old George, is Uncle Tim still on Arcadia Island?” On the other end of the phone, George Thomas’ respec
The middle-aged man at the end of the four main seats was none other than Cynthia’s father, Hogan Larson. Hogan was ranked the fourth in the family and the half-brother of Silva. Hogan was not well-received in the Larson family and was far away from the power center, only holding the title of Fourth Master. The fourth branch of the Larson family had always been weak and gentle. It was because of Hogan’s gentle way of running the household that other members of the Larson family had ideas about them. Facing the members of the fourth branch, the other three branches always put on an air of superiority and targeted them both overtly and covertly. However, due to Hogan’s status as Fourth Master, the other three branches still held back and did not go too far. Nevertheless, Cynthia’s marriage this time was personally facilitated by the head of the Larson family and left no room for refusal from the fourth branch. Even if Cynthia went on hunger strike as a sign of objection,
“You must be referring to the lark people. What do you want with them? They're not to be trifled with. You’ll be in trouble if you mess with them.” Everyone was delighted to hear about the lark people. It was great that someone knew something. Adam was very excited to find a clue as soon as they arrived. He had thought it would take a lot of effort to find something, but reality proved otherwise. “The lark people can be regarded as the overlords here. You can find out about them easily. I'm just an ordinary old woman, so I can't tell you too much. You should approach other people if you want to find out more. Maybe you can find a storyteller. I’m sure they can tell you some very important information.” The old lady was clearly unwilling to disclose anything, so everyone was disappointed. In that case, they could not force her. “Thank you very much. At least you gave us an inkling about what to do. We wouldn’t know so many things if it weren't for you.” Adam thanked the old
“I heard that her family is quite complicated. They seem quite troublesome.” Hearing that, everyone wondered what Adam meant. It seemed that he would face problems in pursuing a relationship with this woman. Carlos looked at Adam awkwardly and sighed. “It doesn't matter. We don’t have to worry about that. Let's just take things one step at a time.” Rabbit calmly drifted around with Philip, feeling quite good. “What's there to worry about? I say the old monk has nothing better to do than worry about trivial matters. It’d be embarrassing if so many of us couldn’t bring a woman back.” Until now, Rabbit felt that the other party was just an ordinary woman, so he did not think that there was anything to worry about. They quickly joined the line to enter the city. To Philip's surprise, there was no entrance fee at all. Moreover, their appearance and attire looked no different from the others. Philip and his friends calmly entered the place, and Philip stood on guard. He had a
Philip felt helpless at the sight of this vast starry sky and suddenly felt that maybe coming here was not the right choice. They arrived without knowing anything about this place, so they might encounter various dangers. “I’m curious about the woman you've been looking for. She must be quite extraordinary,” Philip said curiously, baffled about this matter. Hearing that, Adam shook his head helplessly. He was really clueless about everything. “I only know that I can come here and find her with the key. I don’t even know where she is. We can only search aimlessly in this starry sky.” Philip was dumbfounded by Adam’s incompetence. “I thought we’d be teleported to her home or a fixed location, so I don’t know what’s the deal with this. I have a feeling that I’ve been tricked.” Adam sighed helplessly. “Let's just wander around. I’m sure we can find something somehow,” Carlos comforted Adam, but he was not optimistic about it either. He knew that they probably could not find the
Adam had to reevaluate Philip’s strength. He used to think that Philip was simply the best of his generation. Although powerful, he was not invincible. However, the ability to change certain orders and rules was not something that just anyone had. It would not be far-fetched to call Philip the chosen one favored by the heavens. Philip told Carlos to bury Bryce before forgetting about him. Carlos quickly handled his affairs, packed his bags, and got ready to set off with Philip. Adam also waited for Philip without much luggage on hand. Philip stuffed Rabbit into the Verge Tower space. He had to bring Rabbit along with him or the latter would be up to no good. “Rabbit, stay in Verge Tower and stop bothering me.” Rabbit was upset to hear that he had to stay in Verge Tower but still felt happy that Philip was willing to take him along. “Next, the two of you need to relax. I’ll wrap you with my energy. Don't try to resist or you’ll only end up hurting yourself,” Philip said.
“I have other important things to do. Don't worry. I’ll be back soon, so make sure you work hard during this time. I’ve given you all the pills you need. Whether you can make full use of them depends on you.” In Philip’s opinion, the Hexa Guild could not do anything anymore, so there was no worry about them. After much deliberation, Jamie nodded. Philip did not belong to his guild, so he could hardly stop Philip from leaving. Moreover, Philip’s pill supply was already a great help to them. It would be annoying if Jamie asked for more. “No problem. Where are you going next? Do you need my help? I’ll do my best to help you.” The Celestial Palace was powerful enough for Jamie to say such things. Philip shook his head. He would be traveling with Adam next, and his strength was incredible. It was best for them to leave together. “It’s okay. I have everything prepared. Just do your best in the competition and don’t allow the Hexa Guild to take the upper hand.” Now that the Cele
“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
