Speaking of this, Philip’s face darkened. On the candy wrapper that his grandfather gave him, he was warned to beware of Silva! “I didn't expect my grandfather to get this disease. I haven't visited him for so many years.” Philip said sadly and suddenly added, “Silva, it just so happens that I’m free and can bring Grandfather out today. What do you think?” Silva was taken aback for a moment. Just like a cat that got stepped on its tail, he jumped up from the sofa with an ugly scowl and said in refusal, “No way! Absolutely not!” Seeing his reaction, Philip asked, “Silva, why are you so triggered?” Hearing that, Silva frowned, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, “The old patriarch is not in good health and you know it. If you bring him out and anything happens to him, it’ll be difficult to explain. It’s best for the old patriarch to remain in the Larson family.” Hehe. Philip chuckled and said, “Is it really for the sake of my grandfather's health, or are you afraid
On this side, Philip took the grandmaster of the Larson family out and walked around the big shopping malls and playgrounds in Fernvale. Behind them, the guards arranged by Silva followed closely. Philip and the grandmaster settled down in a diner. He looked at the guards at the door and next to the dining table with a frown. Then, he smiled and said, “Here, everyone has been running around the whole day. It’s been hard on you. Sit down and eat something. I’ve reserved a few tables for you.” The guards looked at each other before turning to their captain. The captain looked at Philip and the surrounding environment before he said with a smile, “Thank you, Young Patriarch Clarke. Boys, sit down.” The guards said their thanks to Philip and sat down. Being a bodyguard was tiring work. After finally having a chance to rest, they naturally relaxed. After all, Philip and the grandmaster were in the diner right under their noses. They would not disappear into thin air. Half an
10 minutes later, half the Larson family’s guards were mobilized to search for Philip and the grandmaster all over the city. The entire Fernvale was shocked. “What? The grandmaster of the Larson family is missing? He was taken away by the young patriarch of the Clarke family?” “Whoa, this is breaking news! Isn’t the Larson family in chaos now?” “I don’t know, but half the Larson family’s guards have been mobilized to search the entire city.” Everyone in Fernvale was discussing the missing Larson grandmaster. At the Larson family, Silva paced in the hall angrily. He looked at the kneeling guard in front of him and roared, “It has been half an hour and there’s still no sign of them? What the hell are you doing? The Larson family has kept you around for so long and you couldn’t even keep an eye on two people! One of them was even an old man with one foot in the grave!” The kneeling guard prostrated on the floor and trembled all over as he said, “Patriarch, we’ve sent out a s
Cynthia walked up the spiral staircase from the first floor and saw the content broadcasted on TV. She looked at Philip, who was with the grandmaster, and asked, “Philip, do you plan to go back?” Philip stared intently at the TV screen and said after a moment of silence, “Since Silva chose to do this, he’s certain that I’ll go back because of this news.” Hearing this, Cynthia frowned and said, “But I’m worried about you. What if Uncle Silva does something to you?” Philip glanced sideways at the worried Cynthia and said, “He won’t. The Larson family isn’t bold enough to go against the Clarke family yet.” After that, he looked sideways at the old man who was dozing off. He said, “I need you to take care of Grandpa for a few days. When I’m not around, don’t get off the ship.” Cynthia knew that she could not persuade Philip. She suddenly ran over, hugged Philip, and cried softly, “Philip, you must come back safely!” Philip was startled and he froze, a little at a loss. “My ni
“What do you want me to do, then?” Philip asked. Fennel was speechless and could only sigh and shake his head. He asked, “When do we set off? The entire Fernvale is full of the Larson family’s guards right now. It’s just short of being turned upside down.” Philip restrained his emotions and said with a sneer, “We head out tomorrow. Arrange the manpower. I think Silva is prepared to negotiate with me this time.” Fennel nodded and said, “Okay.” The night passed. The next morning, Philip and his men went to Larson Manor. Many guards had been mobilized to protect Larson Manor at this time. Philip put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked grandly into the Larson family’s ancestral hall. Silva and the other two brothers as well as the members of the Larson family were in the ancestral hall at the moment, looking angry as if they wanted to swallow Philip alive. “Hey, everyone looks very passionate,” Philip said cheerfully. Silva stood with his hands behind his back,
Seeing so many guards outside the door, Philip sneered and said, “Silva, are you trying to stop me from leaving?” Silva snorted coldly and said, “Philip, I don't want to against the Clarke family, but if you don't hand over the grandmaster today, don’t blame me for disregarding your identity as my aunt’s son!” Philip turned around with a mocking smile in his eyes, re-examined Silva, and asked, “I’m curious. How confident are you that you dare to detain me in the Larson family’s territory?” Silva said coldly, “That's not something you should know about. You just need to know that you have two choices—let the grandmaster go or be detained by me!” Philip smiled and said, “What if I refuse?” “Haha, then don't blame me for being ruthless!” Silva said coldly, waved his hand, and said, “Guards, take him down!” Thud, thud, thud! The guards outside took several steps forward in their combat boots! However! Rumble! There was a sudden roar from a huge plane engine in the sky
Of course, this scene shocked the entire Fernvale! Everyone in Fernvale also received the news in an instant! “What? The Larson family has been surrounded? And the scene is comparable to a battle blockbuster setup?” “Look! This is the live broadcast from the drone! It’s too spectacular and overbearing! There are guards and armored tanks and helicopters!” “Whoa, who is the Larson family up against? I’ve never seen this combat group before!” Fernvale was in an uproar, and everyone paid close attention to the Larson family’s every move. Even some people in the dark who were eager to move quickly sent information from their respective secret bases. Back to the Larson family. Seeing this, Silva’s eyes froze. His lips twitched as he asked, “Did you make preparations?” Philip said calmly, “Excuse me, but these are my guards. I want to know if I can go now.” Silva clenched his fists angrily. The servants around him had already reported that there were hundreds of elite sold
Hearing Hogan’s words, Philip was grave. Seeing this, Hogan asked, “What’s the matter? Is Silva really going up against the Clarke family?” Philip nodded and said, “Maybe. From what I know about Silva so far, the Larson family may be going through a change, and the instigator of this change is Silva and some others. “If I hadn’t prepared in advance, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to walk out of the Larson family today.” “What?!” Hearing this, Hogan was shocked and said with wide eyes, “He actually dared to take you down?” Philip nodded and said, “Silva’s action should have something to do with Grandpa. What secrets does Grandpa have that Silva needed to detain me at all costs just to make me hand Grandpa over?” Cynthia and Hogan looked at each other, shook their heads, and said, “I think only the grandmaster would know. It’s a pity that his mental state is quite bad right now. We won’t know if the things he says are true or false.” Hogan was right. The grandmaster
“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
