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
That short remark made Silva angry. After a long while, Silva nodded and said, “Okay, I give you my promise! Remember this, if you dare to do anything to the Larson family, I won’t let you and your father off!” After saying that, Silva turned around and left the room. He said coldly to the servant at the door, “Hurry up and get ready!” Cynthia looked at Silva’s departing back departure, and the chill on her face disappeared. She was merely putting on an act just now. She was actually feeling very nervous inside. After all, Silva was the head of the Larson family and a ruthless person. Right after Silva left, Zinnia appeared again. She swaggered into the room and glanced at Cynthia who was very beautifully dressed. A trace of jealousy and hatred flashed in the corner of her eyes. She said mockingly, “Cynthia, congratulations on getting married, and it’s to the Berry family too. Oh, but it’s to become a concubine. It’s not that bad, though. It’s quite suitable for your iden
Looking at the servant busy with the wedding gifts, the butler of the Berry family looked at the three masters of the Larson family with a smile. Silva and the other two brothers also waited quietly with warm smiles on their faces. When the gift list was announced, the jaws of the guests also dropped. The wedding gifts of the Larson family were not simple. They really went all out. “Butler Berry, the inventory is done. There’s no problem.” A servant in charge of the records walked over at this moment. The butler nodded before he said to Silva, “Patriarch Larson, we can pick up the bride now.” Hearing this, Silva smiled, made an inviting gesture, and said, “Butler Berry, please come this way. The bride will be out soon.” Butler Berry nodded and walked through the main entrance into the open-air wedding banquet venue with two teams of eight attendants. Meanwhile, Cynthia and her people also followed the maid out of the villa and came to the open-air wedding banquet venu
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
“The truth is that I have a favor to ask of you, but I’m afraid of overstepping the line, so…” The old monk knew that his action was inappropriate, so he was conflicted and wondered how he should ask for Philip’s help. Philip was interested upon hearing that the old monk needed a favor. He wanted to know what stumped him. With his strength and status, the old monk should be omnipotent. “Feel free to speak your mind. If I can handle it, I don’t mind lending a helping hand.” Philip would not help for no reason. If the other party was willing to pay the price, he would not refuse. The old monk was excited to hear Philip’s agreement. “I have the location of a secret realm. I tried to enter it once, but the secret realm told me that I couldn’t enter it,” the old monk said with regret. “There should be a lot of good things in this secret realm, so I’m very disappointed that I can't enter and explore it. I was told that only people from other worlds could enter this secret realm.
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
