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,
After Hogan had left, Zayn Larson and Nash Larson sneered and said, “Hogan must still be angry with us.” Silva frowned and said, “Ignore him and just make sure that things are ready. Two days later, Cynthia must marry into the Berry family in style.” “Yes, Silva.” Zayn and Nash nodded in response. The meeting was adjourned. At this moment, in the vicinity of the Larson family’s fourth branch, a small villa was closely guarded by bodyguards in black suits. Hogan stood in front of the villa and raised his eyes to look at the villa. He smiled at the bodyguards guarding the door and said, “I want to see my daughter.” However, the bodyguards reached out to stop Hogan and said, “Fourth Master, I'm sorry. The patriarch has ordered that without his patriarch’s token, no one is allowed to approach this villa.” Hearing that, Hogan’s face flushed red in anger as he clenched his fists. This was too far! However, Hogan had no choice. He stood at the door for a long while befor
Smack! This slap landed on Cynthia’s face squarely. Cynthia’s cheeks turned red immediately with a conspicuous mark. Cynthia’s beautiful eyes were full of anger, but she could only glare at Zinnia without a word. Zinnia was the youngest daughter of Zayn, the favorite daughter. No matter what Zinnia did in the Larson family, no one would dare to speak up. She was a young lady born with a silver spoon in her mouth, very arrogant and domineering. Many servants in the Larson family were crippled by Zinnia in her anger. When she saw Cynthia glaring at her at this moment, Zinnia slapped her again and shouted, “How dare you stare at me?! I'll beat you to death! Let's see how you can glare at me again!” Smack! However, Zinnia’s slap fell short. The delicate arm raised in the air was grabbed by Cynthia. Zinnia shuddered, not expecting Cynthia to fight back at all. “How dare you fight back?!” Zinnia exclaimed in surprise. Cynthia pushed Zinnia’s arm away and the latte
In an instant, Zinnia was stunned. She clutched her burning cheek, looked at Cynthia in disbelief, and shouted, “How dare you hit me?!” Cynthia glared at Zinnia coldly and said, “Zinnia, don’t go too far! That slap is for your disrespect to me and my mother! If you dare to insult my mother again, I’ll never let you go!” “You won't let me go? Haha, ridiculous! For what you did just now, I can get someone to beat you to death right now!” Zinnia shrieked, “Men, get in here!” Bang! The room door was pushed open and two big guys in black suits rushed in. They were Zinnia’s personal bodyguards. They stood behind her respectfully and said, “Young Miss, what are your orders?” Zinnia pointed at Cynthia and shouted viciously, “Give her a good slapping! She dared to hit me. Let’s see if the skin on her face is thicker or my men are stronger!” “Yes!” Hearing the order, the two bodyguards stepped forward. One grabbed Cynthia from behind and the other walked up to her. With an emot
The remark was like a verdict from heaven that dashed Cynthia’s final hope. Zayn turned around to leave and said coldly to the bodyguard at the door, “Keep a close eye on her!” Watching Zayn’s departing back, Cynthia could no longer hold back and fell limply to the ground. Then, she stared at the floor blankly, sobbing in silence. Finally, her voice became louder and turned into a cry of grief that echoed throughout the villa. The bodyguards outside the door shook their heads helplessly at this moment and said with a sigh, “How pitiful.” … Half a day later, a maid came in again with food. “Young Miss, eat something quickly. If this continues, your body won’t be able to take it.” The maid was only 20 years old and was Cynthia’s personal maid. Zayn was worried that Cynthia would collapse because of her hunger strike, so he asked Cynthia’s personal maid to try to persuade her. Seeing the maid who came in, Cynthia grabbed her delicate arm and asked, “Ruth, has the lette
At this moment, in the main hall of the Larson family’s fourth branch, Hogan paced up and down non-stop. A beautiful woman sat on the sofa on the side, looking at her freshly made manicure. He said, “Master, you’ve been walking up and down the entire time. It’s making me dizzy.” Hearing that, Hogan stopped. He looked at the coquettish woman and asked, “Cynthia is going to marry into the Berry family in two days. How can I not be worried?” The beautiful woman snorted coldly and said, “Master, why do you care about that girl? It’s her blessing to marry into the Berry family! I say you should keep out of this. This is your eldest brother’s decision. If you speak up for that girl, you’ll offend him. Our fourth branch has always been weak. If you offend him, the consequences will be disastrous.” Hearing that, Hogan scowled and said, “Whatever it is, Cynthia is my daughter. Don’t I even have a say in my daughter’s marriage?” Upon hearing that, the beautiful woman said, “Daughter? She
This should be Philip's first visit to Fernvale since his mother's accident and the Larson family's withdrawal from the mainland. After getting off the plane and walking out of the airport, a row of expensive Maybachs was waiting at the door Bodyguards in black suits stood respectfully at the car doors, waiting for Philip and the others to get in the cars. This appearance instantly attracted onlookers and picture-taking. After getting in the car, Philip said to the driver, “To the Larson family.” Philip did not want to delay. He had many questions for the Larson family. The convoy headed to the Larson family. At this moment, in Larson Manor, the huge lawn was full of prominent people from Fernvale who were discussing something excitedly. “The young lady from the fourth branch of the Larson family is really lucky to marry the Berry family as a concubine.” “Of course. I heard that Cynthia Larson is an illegitimate child brought back by Hogan. Her mother is in that line
“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
