Chapter 1881
Boom!
Instantly, Matt seemed to have suffered a huge impact.
He flew out like a meteor and crashed heavily into a building.
He knocked down two or three floors of buildings.
All the disciples were shocked at the sight! No one knew what had happened.
They only saw Matt punching out fiercely before standing like a fool an arm’s length away from the
opponent.

Then, that guy was blasted away like a meteor.
Hiss!
All the disciples had goosebumps all over their bodies.
This guy was not an ordinary person! These disciples did not know Reed Williams.

After all, they were a batch of newly selected talents and had just entered the first zone not long ago to
study before they were sent out for training.
Unexpectedly, they encountered a Nonagon emergency alert during their first training assignment.
They thought it was just a group of ordinary combatants.
No one expected the guy in the lead to be so unfathomable.
Instantly, a few of the disciples who took the lead shouted, “Stop wasting time and let’s charge over
together. No matter how many people they have on their side, they’re no match for us! Let these ordinary
people see how powerful we are!”
Instantly, all the disciples reached an agreement.
Suddenly, everyone attacked Reed!
“I’lll let you have a taste of my Exploding Fireball!”
One of the red-haired disciples roared furiously.

He activated his aura and manipulated three flames in his palms.
The three balls of fire suddenly blazed and surged wildly.
Material and energy attacks rushed toward Reed in all directions.
This was a display of the disciples’ control and understanding of matter, as well as application of the
rules.
In the eyes of the world, this had long transcended immortal power.
However, this was only a small manifestation of the power behind the door.
At the sight of this, all the disciples sneered inwardly.
Faced with such inconceivable means of attacks, anyone’s worldview would collapse.
Even if they were not ordinary people, under sucha siege, they would be reduced to ashes.
However, the next moment, the disciples were completely shocked by the scene!
Reed was standing with his hand behind his back and his eyes reflecting a biting chill. He watched as all
the attacks came for him. He shook his head helplessly and said, “The disciples of this batch are much
weaker than before.”
After saying that, he stepped forward and walked fearlessly toward the entrance of the Nonagon. All
those impending attacks were blocked by a pale golden light of shield three meters away from Reed’s
body. Instantly, the hundred or so disciples were dumbfounded.
Who on earth could block their simultaneous attacks without being hurt?! Moreover, the other party did
not even make a move. Simply too terrifying!
“Retreat quickly! Stop him!” One person roared, and dozens of disciples quickly backed away.
While defending the Nonagon, everyone took out various weapons.
Some even had Gatling guns! Of course, it was an energy cannon specially modified by the Nonagon.
Chapter 1882
Like a battle maniac, the man carried a huge Gatling energy cannon in both hands and roared with
excitement, “Hahaha! Have a taste of my rapid fireball!”
Rat-tat-tat!
Instantly, 20 barrels of the Gatling energy cannon rotated at high speed and dense blue energy bullets
suddenly shot toward Reed!
Even a disciple from the second zone would be riddled with bullets under such an intensive attack.
However, yet another astonishing scene unfolded before their eyes.
The pale golden energy shield in front of Reed resisted the dense energy bullets.
The moment the two collided, terrifying energy fluctuations raged across the field. The collision between
the blue energy cannon and the pale gold shield formed a dazzling light that blinded everyone’s eyes.
Immediately after, there was a ripple in Reed’s green combat uniform as a trace of impatience appeared
in his eyes.
He raised his hand and made a grabbing motion.
Before the disciple knew what was going on, a golden hand manifested from an energy force appeared
in thin air and grabbed him.
Then, his body burst into pieces and turned into a blood mist.
Hiss!
All the disciples panicked.
The disciple was crushed by a simple grab through the air?!
What sort of power was this?!
This guy must be at least a disciple from the third zone to possess such a terifying technique, right?
Could he be a defector from the third zone?
This group of budding disciples had many thoughts at this moment and started to panic.
While they were still in a daze, a dozen figures wearing black robes and various animal masks suddenly
descended from the sky in front of them.
Every figure carried an invincible and frightening chill.
On their backs was a special symbol- the word ‘dark’ in black on a white background.
This was the Dark Division of the Nonagon! They had actually appeared!
This was a special existence that only belonged to the lord consul of the Nonagon.
They only received orders from the consul.
Even Deputy Consul Cooper Berry had no authority to command them.
Generally, their appearance represented the will of the consul.
At the appearance of this group of people, the budding disciples were excited beyond words.
To be a member of the Dark Division, their strength must at least be in the fourth zone.
With these people from the fourth zone around, everything would surely be fine.
“All new disciples of the door may step back. We’ll take over from here.”
The leading member of the Dark Division wore a fox mask. With a slender figure and arms crossed over
his chest, he stood in front of the crowd as an indescribable domineering intensity exuded from him.
“Yes!”
After receiving the order, nearly a hundred disciples withdrew from the battle area and guarded the
surroundings of the Nonagon.
As for the leader of the Dark Division, he stared fixedly at Reed with a pair of eyes that could reflect his
chills despite the mask he wore.
He said coldly, “Supreme Williams, the lord consul hopes that you can retreat with your people
immediately. Regarding this matter, the Nonagon will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation.”
Chapter 1883
Reed snorted coldly, looked at the dozen or so disciples of the Dark Division, and said, “My student has
been wronged.
As his teacher, I naturally have to stand up for him.”
“Supreme Williams, do you really want to break into the Nonagon building?” the leader of the Dark
Division asked coldly.
“Anyone who bullies my student will be punished!” Reed said as his body surged with a soaring fighting
intent.
Crack!In the sky, a few bolts of lightning flashed ominously.
A raging gust of hurricane suddenly swept up.
“Look! In the sky!”
Among the disciples, someone shouted.
In an instant, everyone looked up at the sky. A huge red-golden sword of kingship suddenly hung in the
sky.
The body of the sword was red and gold, carved with obscure rune patterns.
Five golden dragons coiled around the sword’s body, emitting a dazzling golden light.
Golden bolts of lightning constantly flashed across.
At the hilt of the sword was golden dragon scale armor, looking brilliant and dazzling.
The sword’s name was Arcturus.
In an instant, everywhere within a ten-mile radius was shrouded by a pale golden light shield. People
outside could only see the shield without seeing what went on inside.
This huge red-golden dragon sword of kingship was hanging over the entire building of the Nonagon.
At any moment, it may fall and destroy the whole building! Instantly, the hundred or so new disciples
were dumbfounded.
“Holy sh*t!”
What were they seeing?
This was a sword of kingship!
Did that mean the man in front of them wearing a green combat uniform was a king of disciples?
A king of disciples!How was this possible? That was simply beyond everyone’s imagination!
In terms of combat ability, a king of disciples had long surpassed all of them combined! In other words, all
of them had gone through the gates of hell and back just now.
They had just tried to take down a king of disciples.
What was even more terrifying was that the pressure emitted by the huge sword of kingship was far
stronger than the king of disciples they had seen in the first zone.
This simple scene had already shocked the hundred or so new disciples.
The remaining dozen disciples of the Dark Division also panicked when they saw Reed unleash his
sword of kingship.
The leader resisted the pressure Reed gave him, bit the bullet, and said, “Supreme Williams, I hope you
can stop as soon as possible.
If this causes trouble, it’ll be difficult for us to clean things up.”
However, Reed ignored him.
His cold eyes flashed with a faint golden light as he shouted flatly, “On your knees!”
Thud!
Before anyone could react!The leader of the Dark Division felt an enormous mountain on his back, bent
his knees, and knelt on the ground.
He had no chance to resist at all!This was the oppressive pressure and aura of the king of disciples.
Within the energy field of the king, one was at his complete mercy.
The leader was under tremendous pressure. With cold sweat on his forehead, his whole body was tense.
He tried to break free from Reed’s intimidating pressure.
However, the more he struggled and the more he tried to use his strength, the greater the pressure he
felt.
Crack!
The tiles under his knees shattered in an instant. His knees plunged into the ground as blood spilled from
the corners of his mouth.
“S-supreme W-Williams…” the man said with difficulty while enduring the tremendous pressure and pain
all over his body.
Chapter 1884
However, Reed just glanced at him coldly.
Standing with his hands behind his back, he said blandly, “Do not attempt to resist.
This is the rule of kingship.
You don’t have the strength to resist at all.
The more you resist, the greater the restraints you’ll suffer from, The slightest mistake can pulverize you”
Upon hearing this, the young leader of the Dark Division gave up resistance. His entire person went limp
in an instant as he fell to the ground.
Tightened everyone.This scene completely frightened everyone.
This was just a simple confrontation yet the member of the Dark Division passed out just like that. That
was the Dark Division that belonged to the Consul.
A person who belonged to the consul alone! The man in combat uniform in front of them actually dared
to attack the consul’s subordinate?!
Even if the lord consul was not in the Nonagon at the moment, he could not allow such a person to run
rampant.
Instantly, the remaining members of the Dark Division surrounded Reed.
One of them said, “Supreme Williams, this is the Nonagon.
Even if you are a king of disciples, you can’t be so presumptuous! The lord consul has asked us to bring
you a message not to cross the line!”
Hmph!
Hearing that, Reed snorted.
His eyes flashed with a biting chill and said, “Don’t cross the line? When you stretched your hands to my
Dragon Warriors, you had already crossed the line! The Nonagon is just a drop in the ocean.
Do you really think you’re above everything else? Today, I’m going to break into the Nonagon to see if
you have made any changes in all these years that could surprise me.”
With that said, Reed raised his foot and walked toward the main entrance.
More than a dozen members of the Dark Division with powers of the fourth zone started attacking Reed
at this moment.
However, Reed merely waved his hand! Bang, thud!
Instantly, they flew out like straw, fell to the ground, and passed out.
With just one move, they were all sent flying.
Everyone was dumbfounded by this terrifying display of strength!
At this moment, a group of people walked out of the lobby.
The leader was none other than Cooper Berrygreeted Reed with a smile on his face and said, “Supreme
Williams, it’s been a long time.
I didn’t expect you to visit Nonagon with such fanfare.
It’s my fault for not welcoming you in advance”
Cooper extended his hand with a subtle smile at the corner of his mouth.
It could be said that he was showing Reed his due respect However, Reed ignored the other party.
Cooper was not embarrassed.
He withdrew his hand, looked at the combatants lined up outside the streets, and looked at the sword of
kingship still hanging in the sky.
He was feeling somewhat flustered.’After all, this man was once the king of disciples of the sixth zone!’
In terms of strength, few people in the entire Nonagon could stand up to him.
Even he was not a match for Reed.
Unless those few old fellows were willing to make an appearance.
However, they had remained behind the door for a long time without interfering in worldly affairs.
At first, Cooper thought of the master of the Dragon Pavilion, but he was also quite apprehensive about
this person.
He was uncertain about that guy’s actual strength.
Moreover, the other party rarely showed up or made a move.
He would not appear unless the Nonagon was facing a crisis.
After carefully thinking about it, Cooper smiled and said, “Supreme Williams, is there anything I can help
you with?”
Reed’s face was cold as he said, “Two conditions.
First, release that person and severely punish the mastermind behind the scenes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSecond, let my dear student borrow the dragon transformation pond behind the door as compensation to
him.”
Chapter 1885
Hearing the two conditions from Reed, Cooper’s face turned grave.
His eyes glinted with a chill as a cruel sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He said, “Supreme Williams, although you’re the supreme in our country, you also used to be a member
of the Nonagon, right?
Even if you have no regard for our previous acquaintanceship, you still have to respect the agreement
between the Nonagon and the other parties, right?” Reed’s eyes were indifferent.
His hands were behind his back, and his green uniform was fluttering with the wind.
He stood there like a giant mountain, which made others feel intimidated.
They could not even muster any thoughts of resistance.
This was true dominance!
At Reed’s silence, Cooper’s frown deepened.
After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, “I can agree to the first condition, but I don’t have
the right to call the shots for the second. Even if I do, I wouldn’t agree to it! You used to be the king of
disciples of the sixth zone.
You should understand the significance of the dragon transformation pond to the Nonagon and the door!”
“The dragon transformation pond can only be opened once every three years.
Once the dragon is transformed, one can ascend to the kingship.
It’s reserved for the most exceptional genius behind the door and is the very foundation of the Nonagon.
I can’t just agree to this!”
This was Cooper Berry’s bottom line.
Only the most outstanding geniuses who had passed the lectures and training in the five zones as well
as obtained battle records that were recognized by everyone, would have the opportunity to enter the
dragon transformation pond.
They could have the chance to touch the door that would make them a king of disciples.
This was the foundation of the Nonagon and also one of the secrets of the door.
It was absolutely impossible to let others borrow it.
Now, Reed actually wanted to borrow the dragon transformation pond.
This was impossible and absolutely not allowed.
After Cooper finished speaking, Reed raised his eyebrows slightly.
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth as he said, “Cooper, since you refuse, I’ll rephrase my
words.
I want to take and use the dragon transformation pond.
Now, what do you think?”
As soon as he said that, the 30,000 combatants behind Reed, the fighter planes hovering all over the
sky, as well as the armored vehicles that were fully armed and ready to go all loaded their ammunition at
this time.
They were ready to attack at any time.
This scene naturally caused Cooper to shudder.
He was furious!
At any rate, he was still the deputy consul of the Nonagon, a person who stood above everyone else
except for one.
He never expected Reed Williams to be so disrespectful to him.
Besides, what did he say?
He wanted to take and use it? It was not borrowing.
What was the difference between that and daylight robbery?
Cooper was angry.
His face darkened as he shouted coldly,”Supreme Williams, are you trying to provoke a war between
Southridge and the Nonagon? Don’t forget, the Nonagon is independent of any institution and we’re not
required to follow any instructions from the combat squad.
Even the current one in position won’t easily interfere in our code of conduct! Do you really dare to make
a move against the Nonagon?” Cooper was right.
The Nonagon was independent of the mundane world and was not under the jurisdiction of anyone or
any institution.
That was what made it special and also the criterion that made it superior to the secular world.
The Nonagon had its pride and transcendence.
Now, being trampled ruthlessly by Reed, Cooper’s heart was burning with fire.
However, after hearing Cooper’s words, Reed did not hesitate at all and raised his right hand slowly.
It was just a simple action!Behind him, 30,000 heavily armed and armored combatants raised their guns.
They took three steps forward.
Thud, thud, thud!
Like thunder in the sky, the sounds exploded in the hearts of everyone.
The 30,000 fearless warriors took three steps forward like a formation forged by a torrent of steel.
Then, the combatants at the forefront with shields made of special materials slammed them heavily on
the ground, making the earth tremble.
In this world, such an arrogant move could only be done by Reed Williams!
Chapter 1886
Cooper clenched his fists tightly as he watched this scene.
His eye sockets sunk deep as he snarled in anger, “Reed Williams, such audacity! This is the Nonagon,
not Southridge! If you dare to act recklessly, the Nonagon will gather tens of thousands of disciples to
wipe out your Southridge in one fell swoop!”
As soon as Cooper said that suddenly, five imposing figures stepped out of the Nonagon building
through the shadows.
The five people walked out of the entrance haughtily and stood behind Cooper.
Under the sun, each figure carried an invincible soaring force.
Four men and one woman.
Their combat uniforms were rustling.
They were the current five kings of disciples of the Nonagon, and they were all present.
Their appearance shocked all the disciples present.
They were the five kings of disciples.
Cooper Berry had mobilized the five kings of disciples just to deal with one Reed Williams! With this
confrontation and atmosphere, it seemed that they could trigger the war of the century just by breathing
aloud.
Abruptly, sounds of explosions could be heard in the sky.
Overhead, five other swords of kingship suddenly appeared, encircling Reed’s sword of kingship.
Green King, White King, Lightning King, Fire King, and Sea King. Five swords of kingship hung in the air,
triggering a storm of energy pressure!
The atmosphere seemed unable to withstand the pressure of such kingly power and was about to
collapse.
The entire sky flowed with gorgeous energy fluctuations.
Bolts of colorful lightning also raged around the swords of kingship, stirring up the sky for dozens of miles
in various colors.
Thick clouds quickly gathered over the Nonagon, forming evil-looking vortex-like clouds.
The entire sky seemed as if it was about to be torn apart.
The five swords of kingship just hung in the air, emitting a dazzling luster and permeating pressure.
They were trying to counteract the red and gold Arcturus sword of kingship in the center.
The storm was on the verge of breaking out.
Reed still stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes scanning past the five kings of disciples behind
Cooper.
A faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth as he said, “The five kings of disciples, huh? Cooper,
you really think too highly of me” Cooper sneered.
With a tense face, he said,”Reed, asI said, the Nonagon is not a place you can act recklessly! Back then,
the lord consul was merciful when he allowed you, as courge, to go! Today, on behalf of the Nonagon
and the lord consul, I’ll get rid of all of you in one fell swoop!”
Cooper was full of confidence. With the backing of the five kings of disciples behind him, Reed Williams
did not pose a threat at all.
What did it matter if he was once the king of disciples of the sixth zone?Could he still survive the
combined efforts of the five kings?
However, Cooper had underestimated Reed’s strength.
Reed raised his head slightly,glanced at the six swords of kingship hanging above his head, and
muttered, “This world has changed long ago.
If the Nonagon wants to escape the boundaries and control the game of chess, it must also consider if it
has the strength.
Five kings teaming up together indeed make up a very powerful force.
However, you forgot one thing.”
With that said, Reed lowered his head and stared at Cooper with searing eyes.
Cooper felt a little creeped out by Reed’s gaze and asked with a frown, “What are you trying to
say?”Reed grinned and said, “The kings of disciples
who left the Nonagon back then weren’t only me alone.
There’s another one.
Even if all the disciples of the Nonagon join forces, they’re still not his opponent.”
Chapter 1887
Cooper was immediately taken aback by those Words.
That was because he had thought of one possibility.
However, that was impossible! Despite that, the 30,000 combatants behind Reed automatically made a
path.
As far as everyone could see, a figure was standing upright with eyes as cold as blades.
He had a compelling aura and pressure as he walked one step at a time toward Cooper and the other
five kings of disciples.
This figure was like an invincible battle god of the land. With just a few simple steps, it was as though he
had traveled through the torrent of eternity and stood before them.
The intensity that would bring millions of people to fall to their knees and worship him seemed to tear the
sky apart.
Fulton Hash!
He was once the king of disciples of the seventh zone.
He was known to be the king with the strongest combat power among all the kings of disciples.
By relying on his power alone, he once broke into the seventh zone, severely injured a mysterious
existence behind the door, and opened up a safe area in the seventh zone.
He was the king of all kings of disciples. He was an undefeated legend in the eyes of countless people.
Every step of his seemed to be intertwined with the rules of heaven and earth.
Each stride he took seemed to step on the hearts of everyone, just like a gospel that everyone could not
resist but kneel and Worship at.Cooper and the five kings of disciples behind him finally reacted when he
approached.
Fulton glanced at Reed at his side and nodded slightly as a greeting.
Then, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at the six swords of kingship in the sky.
He sighed softly and said,”Keep them away” As soon as he said that, the six swords of kingship in the
sky disappeared.
The sky was restored to clarity.
The scene that looked to be on the brink of an apocalypse before turned into a blue sky with white
clouds.
The raging pressure and energy fluctuations also dissipated in an instant. The five kings of disciples
behind Cooper were all stunned at this moment.Kingship interference! Fulton could easily interfere with
their rule of kingship.
This was simply unimaginable! Every kind of disciple had their own kingship energy field, which was the
forbidden place they wielded absolute control over.
Anyone who trespassed into the field of kingship would become meat on the chopping board, at the
mercy of the king.
However, just now, this man before them merely said a few words and easily broke their fields of
kingship.
This was the fundamental manipulation of the rule of kingship.
He could actually change the kingship rules of other kings of disciples.
This was simply too terrifying!Such a person was simply invincible! This scene naturally made Cooper
feel great pressure.
He stared at Fulton cautiously and spat out a sentence from his teeth, saying, “Fulton Hash, by doing
this, are you going to violate the agreement between the Clarke family and the Nonagon?”
Fulton lowered his eyes at Cooper and said, “If I remember correctly, you were just a secretary back
then.
Now, you have become the deputy consul.
You certainly have some tricks up your sleeves.”
Hearing that, Cooper chuckled.
He tugged at his collar and said arrogantly, “Since you know that I’m the deputy consul, you should
understand that I represent the Nonagon.
In the lord consul’s absence, I have the final say in everything.
Fulton, if you don’t want to break the agreement between the Nonagon and the Clarke family, withdraw
immediately!
“This is not a place you can set foot in!”
After these words, Fulton was silent for a moment before saying, “Cooper, you’re not qualified to speak
to me yet.” Fulton lowered his eyes at Cooper and said, “If I remember correctly, you were just a
secretary back then.
Now, you have become the deputy consul.
You certainly have some tricks up your sleeves.”
Hearing that, Cooper chuckled.
He tugged at his collar and said arrogantly, “Since you know that I’m the deputy consul, you should
understand that I represent the Nonagon.
In the lord consul’s absence, I have the final say in everything.
Fulton, if you don’t want to break the agreement between the Nonagon and the Clarke family, withdraw
immediately!
“This is not a place you can set foot in!”
After these words, Fulton was silent for a moment before saying, “Cooper, you’re not qualified to speak
to me yet.” Not qualified?
This made Cooper furious. He clenched his fists and roared resentfully, “Fulton Hash, do you represent
yourself or the Clarke family behind you in making an enemy of the Nonagon?
Chapter 1888
Fulton smiled lightly as his eyes fell on the five kings of disciples behind Cooper.
He said,”Not bad, the quality of your talents is acceptable,It seems that over the years, the Nonagon has
also been putting in a lot of effort”
The five kings of disciples were a little startled now.
As kings, they actually had a hint of fear when facing such a person.
This was simply unheard of! They had seen all kinds of scenes and fought countless terrifying existences
behind the door.
Even at the end of their lives, they never showed any fear.
However, now that they were facing such an unfathomable person like Fulton, they actually had an urge
to worship him.
Cooper was very upset when he heard this and said solemnly, “Fulton, I’m not kidding. This is the
Nonagon, not the turf of your Clarke family.
No one is allowed to run wild here!”
Only then did Fulton look Cooper squarely in the face and size him up seriously.
This made Cooper furious.
Even after all that he said, the other party had ignored him until now. “Cooper Berry, I’m not here to
discuss with you today,When you chose to take action against the young master, you had already
planted the root of evil. This root is enough to be your undoing.”Fulton said indifferently.
The domineering demeanor revealed in his words and actions made Cooper afraid to look at him directly.
“What do you want to do?” Cooper asked. Fulton said, “Release him and punish Griffin Pavilion severely”
Cooper frowned upon hearing this. Griffin Pavilion was on his side.
If he abandoned the Griffin Pavilion for his survival, his relationship with Pavilion Master Una would
deteriorate. “Hehe, Fulton, you really think too highly of yourself.
This is the Nonagon.
I have the final say on meting out severe punishments. You no longer have the right to meddle in the
affairs of the Nonagon.” Cooper sneered.Bang As soon as he finished saying these words, Fulton made
a move! He slammed his knee forcefully into Cooper’s stomach.
Instantly, Cooper’s entire body was sent flying with his back hunched like a shrimp.
Then, he fell to the ground while clutching his abdomen.
His face flushed red.
Fulton coldly looked at Cooper who was curled up on the ground and said, “Deputy Consul Berry, as I
said, I’m not here to discuss with you, If you agree, it’s fine. If you don’t agree, I’ll obliterate the entire
Griffin Pavilion” Like a bombshell, his words shocked all the disciples.
The five kings of disciples also felt the raging killing intent from Fulton.
That killing intent was higher than the sky! Cooper covered his stomach, and his face was flushed red.
He got up from the ground with difficulty while saying coldly, “Fulton, if you dare to attack me, you’re
making an enemy of the entire Nonagon! No matter how powerful your Clarke family is, if the Nonagon
wants to bring you down, it’s not impossible! “
Hearing this, Fulton frowned. Staring at Cooper, he reached one hand out and fiercely grabbed him by
the neck before lifting him.
He said coldly, “You’re not qualified to represent the Nonagon yet!”
Boom!
With that said, Fulton flung his hand out. Cooper was tossed out like a human-shaped cannonball and
crashed heavily into the glass door that even the current kings of disciples could not easily break!
Bang!
In a flash, the entire glass door shattered. Cooper also fell to the ground limply. Fulton did not even spare
him a glance.
He turned his head to look at the five kings of disciples who were about to take action against him and
said coldly, ‘”You’re not my opponents yet.
Don’t make futile attempts.”
The five kings of disciples glanced at each other and stepped forward. With tense faces, they looked at
Fulton and said, “This is the Nonagon,We fight for the Nonagon!”
Chapter 1889
Fulton frowned before saying with a smile, “Very well, as expected of the kings of disciples.
Your courage is commendable and you haven’t lost your honor!”
As he said that, the five kings of disciples walked forward and stood in front of Fulton and Reed.
Even though they knew that the gap between themselves and the other party was great, as kings of
disciples, their duty was to guard the Nonagon and the door.
Even if it involved life and death, they must fight.This was their glory as kings of disciples!
However, at this moment, a figure slowly walked out of the entrance of the Nonagon.
This figure, dressed in a long green robe, looked stoic with wisdom in his eyes. With his hands behind
his back, he walked out.
Every step he took seemed ordinary but the aura surrounding him was rising steadily.
He was the master of the Dragon Pavilion, Fitzgerald Hale. His appearance at this time astounded the
five kings of disciples.
Fitzgerald looked at Cooper who had fallen to the ground with a pained expression and said, “Deputy
Consul, are you alright?”Cooper endured the pain and got up from the ground with difficulty.
With a frown, he turned to look at Fitzgerald and said coldly, “Dragon Pavilion Master, you’re just in time”
Fitzgerald smiled slightly and said, “It’s all for the Nonagon”
After saying that, he turned to Fulton and Reed.
He stretched out his hand graciously while saying, “Why don’t the two of you come in and have a seat?”
Fulton and Reed’s eyes fell on Fitzgerald. Both of them frowned.
Even Fulton could not see through Fitzgerald Hale now.
During the Nonagon defection incident back then, subsequent investigations revealed shadows of
Fitzgerald adding fuel toFulton immediately walked in while saying,
“This hospitality is hard to come by.
I’ll go in and have a seat. Reed, you wait. outside.”
Reed waved his hand and said, “I can still brave through this little Nonagon. I’ll go with you.”
With that said, the two directly went past the five kings of disciples and entered the Nonagon.
The 30,000 combatants quickly assumed a defensive stance.
As soon as the other party made a rash move against the supreme, they would immediately rush in!
No one knew what transpired inside.
Ten minutes later, Fulton and Reed walked out from the main entrance of the Nonagon.
Fitzgerald naturally followed and said to the two with a smile, “I hope our conversation was satisfactory
for the both of you”
Fulton turned his head, glanced at Fitzgerald, and said meaningfully, “I didn’t expect that you’ve already
reached the next level”
Fitzgerald smiled and said with an unfathomable air, “Battle God Hash, you’re not too bad either.
Compared to you, I’m still a little late to the game.”Fulton’s eyes froze as he said, “I hope you can live up
to your words.
Otherwise, I won’t let anyone from the Nonagon off the hook!”
Fitzgerald nodded and replied, “of course, Battle God Hash.
Please rest assured. That person should be safe by now. As for the rest, the Nonagon has their way of
dealing with things.
About the Dragon Transformation Pond that you mentioned, I can lend it to you, but not now. Three
months later, we’ll ask you to bring that person over”
Reed waved his hand, and his green uniform rustled. He said in a grave voice, “Dragon Pavilion Master, I
hope you’ll know what to do regarding the matter today!”Having said that, Reed walked to his
subordinates, waved his hand, and left the Nonagon with his people.
Fulton did not stay either.
Chapter 1890 Fitzgerald looked at the two departing backs and the smile on his face slowly froze.
The hands behind his back trembled slightly ashe said to Cooper Berry behind him, “Deputy Consul,
what happened today was entirely your doing.
Do you know that you almost destroyed the Nonagon because of your little test?”
Cooper stood behind Fitzgerald and said arrogantly, “Dragon Pavilion Master, we have differing opinions
and responsibilities. I’m the deputy consul. Although you’re the master of a pavilion, you have no right to
question me!” Fitzgerald turned his head, his face full of chills.
There was a glint in his eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth as he said, “As expected
of the deputy consul. Your arrogance certainly makes you a role model in the Nonagon”
Cooper knew that the other party was being sarcastic.
He snorted and said, “No matter how strong the two of them are, this is the Nonagon.
If it really came down to a fight, the Nonagon’s foundation is enough to take them down!”
“Hmph!”
Fitzgerald coldly snorted and said, “Deputy Consul, you don’t seem to understand that the enemy is not
the two of them but that one!”‘That one?Cooper shuddered.
With a deep frown,he asked in puzzlement, “Fitzgerald Hale, are you trying to scare me? It’s just a small
test.
Will Roger Clarke dare to do anything to thee Nonagon?”
Fitzgerald scoffed. “Will he do anything? Who do you think I was taking orders from when I came out to
help you settle this matter?” Crack!
In an instant, a thunderbolt exploded in Cooper’s mind! Could it be..!
After that, Fitzgerald took out a golden Nonagon Order from his hand and shouted at Cooper coldly, “By
the lord consul’s decree and under the Nonagon Order, Cooper Berry has abused his authority for
personal gain and provoked a dispute with the Clarke family for no reason.
With immediate effect, Cooper Berry’s position as deputy consul will be suspended for three months!”
Having said that, Fitzgerald flung the Nonagon Order on Cooper, turned around, and left. Cooper looked
panicked and took the Nonagon Order, his face turning pale.
‘How could this be?’ He was suspended from his position? Cooper’s heart was full of hatred.
He squeezed the Nonagon Order fiercely as his eyes sunk. A chill flashed at the corners of his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence, “The Clarke family, this is war!”
Having said that, he turned around and said coldly to the three female assistants behind him, “Make
arrangements for me to enter the door immediately.
The plan will be brought forward.
No more human testing is needed.
Just do it on me! I want all of them to prostrate at my feet!”
Back to Philip’s side.
Garth Santos and Mandy Una’s people had been confronting each other for almost 20 minutes.
Garth was very angry. As a grand commander, he was actually being stalled here and could not leave!
Mandy Una was simply arrogant beyond words.
Even a grand commander like Garth Santos was not given any respect.
“Mr. Santos, I’m advising you one last time. Give up your thoughts of trying to protect Philip Clarke.
In this way, you can leave safely.
Otherwise, the Nonagon will definitely pursue you” Mandy sneered.
“You.. Presumptuous!” Mac Gildon was furious as he pointed at Mandy and shouted. She actually dared
to speak to Mr. Santos like this.
She was simply not putting the combat squad in her eyes.
The Nonagon was too arrogant.
Were they trying to override everything? At this moment, Philip stepped out.
He looked at Mandy coldly and asked, “Are you serious about not backing off?”
Chapter 1891 Mandy furrowed her eyebrows before raising them.
The corners of her mouth revealed faint disdain as she said, “l’m not backing off. What can you do to
me?”
She crossed her arms over her chest, and her figure was perfect.
She was full of mature charm.
Coupled with the confidence on her face, she certainly gave others the feeling that she had this in the
bag.
Philip nodded and laughed lightly before saying, “l’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you, If I’m not
mistaken, you have to invite me out in a moment.”
“Invite you out?”
Mandy was taken aback before she smiled mockingly and said, “Philip Clarke, you’re very cocky, Who do
you think you are? I have to invite you out? Hehe, you overestimate yourself!”
For the first time, Mandy felt that this guy named Philip was really hopelessly arrogant. She was the
future master of Griffin Pavilion and had a distinguished status.
In the Nonagon, she was also the Queen of Flames sought after by countless people. Now, a person like
him wanted her to invite him out?
Ridiculous! Philip shrugged and said blandly, “Since you don’t believe me, why don’t we make a bet?”
Mandy laughed and thought for a moment before saying, “Okay, I’ll take the bet. What’s the bet?”
A sly smile crossed the corner of Philip’s eye as he said to Mandy, “It’s very simple, If I can leave here,
you have to kneel and call me Daddy. How about that?”
When Mandy heard this, she immediately became angry and roared, “Outrageous! Are you worthy of me
calling you that?”
Philip shrugged and said, “How do you know if you don’t try? You don’t dare to take the bet? Or have you
never knelt and called someone else ‘Daddy’ before?
Philip’s words were ambiguous and carried a deep sense of harassment.Even an old guy like Garth
Santos, who was standing aside at this moment, coughed lightly.
His face was a little red.
The young people nowadays really knew how to fool around.
Ethan also stepped out at this time and teased, “Brother, I don’t think calling one person ‘Daddy’ is
enough. I want to be her daddy too”
“You! You guys!”
Mandy was furious as she stomped her foot in anger and roared, “Fine! If you can’t leave, I’II cut you up
with my bare hands!”Mandy was going crazy with anger.
How could she not understand what Philip meant about kneeling and calling him ‘Daddy’? It was an
insult to her!
To everyone’s surprise, Ethan pursed his lips and said, “l’m afraid you can’t hold it with one hand.”
Mandy was startled. What did he mean by that? By the time she reacted, her face turned red with
embarrassment. She pointed her finger at Ethan and said viciously,
“I’ll remember you, You’ll definitely die a miserable death!”
After that, she turned her head to stare at Philip coldly and said, “Just use whatever means you have.
I want to see who you can call to back you up today!'”
Philip chuckled lightly and put his hands in his trouser pockets.
He raised his eyebrow and said blandly, “You are sure to call me ‘Daddy” Mandy was livid.
She was just about to retort when her phone rang.
She quickly took out her phone from her pants pocket and looked at the caller ID.
Her eyes twitched as her expression trembled.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at the stoic Philip.
A trace of unnaturalness flashed across her eyes.
Did he really get it right? It must be a coincidence.
While thinking that, Mandy answered the call. A cold middle-aged woman’s voice came from the other
end.
“Mandy, release that person.””Release him?”
Mandy was shocked and quickly asked, “Mother, why so sudden? If we do that, isn’t everything just a
waste of effort?”
On the other end of the phone, the same stern voice said, “Don’t ask so many questions,Let him go. We
can’t afford to mess with him for the time being.”
Mandy was indignant, especially when she saw the arrogant and cocky looks of the two men. She was
very angry.
“Mother, I won’t let him go!” Mandy flew into a temper. If she let him go now, she would have lost the bet
she made with Philip just now, right?
Chapter 1892 It was impossible for her to call him ‘Daddy! It would be too humiliating!
However, an angry rebuke immediately came from the phone.
“Mandy Una, I’m your mother and the master of Griffin Pavilion. How dare you disobey my orders?
Release him immediately! Whatever the other party wants you to do, you must do it! Mandy looked
flustered.
This was the first time her mother scolded her like this.After a while, Mandy hung up the phone.
Her face was very sullen, and her eyes were full of indignation and resentment.
Philip chuckled and asked, “Well, why don’t you try saying ‘Daddy, Miss Una?”
Seeing Philip’s triumphant and cocky posture, Mandy was extremely annoyed.
She squeezed her fists hatefully and said, “Let’s go!” “Wait a minute!”Philip shouted.
Instantly, Garth’s Snapdragon squad and the combatants quickly surrounded Mandy and the others.
“Have you already forgotten the bet we made just now?” Philip smiled lightly with a taunting expression
in his eyes.
Mandy was almost dying of anger.
She turned around, looked at Philip coldly, and said, “Don’t you get ahead of yourself.
I’m not a person to be messed with!”However, as she said that, she heard the footsteps of a large
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnumber of people stepping on the ground in the surrounding area.
There must be at least hundreds of people.
Then, following the sound, Mandy saw that at some point, hundreds of heavily armed combatants had
gathered around.Moreover, the number was still increasing!
This was naturally the personnel Garth Santos had mobilized from his fiefdom nearby.
In an instant, the situation was reversed. Philip took a few steps forward and stood in front of Mandy who
was red with shame at this moment.
He bent down, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, “Miss Una, if you don’t call me ‘Daddy’ today, I’m
afraid you won’t be able to leave.”
“You!” Mandy was burning with fury, and her chest was heaving because of her anger. No man could
stand such a sight.
That was because Mandy’s figure was too good.
With that angry look of hers, it produced a different charm.
“Philip Clarke, I’m already letting you off. Do you still want to insist on this?” Mandy knew that she was in
a dangerous situation, so she also lowered her posture and carried a hint of surrender in her tone.
Philip pursed his mouth and shrugged while saying, “Miss Una, you’re a member of the Nonagon, after
all.
Is it so difficult to own up to the bet you made?” Mandy was on tenterhooks.
If she called out that word in front of so many people, she felt as if she would rather die.
However, due to circumstances, Mandy had nO choice. After a brief silence, Mandy clenched her fist,
gritted her teeth, and squeezed a word out of her mouth, “Daddy!”
This word carried Mandy’s hatred for Philip.
However, Philip deliberately stretched his neck and said, “What did you say? I can’t hear you. Speak up.”
“Philip Clarke, don’t go too far!” Mandy’s face was flushed with anger. If her eyes could kill, Philip would
have died under her glare by now. Philip chuckled and waited quietly.
A few seconds later, Mandy restrained the anger in her heart and shouted to Philip, “Daddy!”
Chapter 1893 Everyone heard her shout.
Ethan was the first to laugh out loud.
Mandy glared angrily before turning around and leaving the place on her high heels.
Philip glanced at Mandy as she left, and the smile on his face slowly turned grim.
“Brother, what are your plans for the next step?” Ethan walked over, putting away his cynical attitude.
Ethan nodded and responded, “No problem. Count on me.”
Philip nodded and turned to Garth. He bowed slightly and said with a smile, “Grand Commander Santos,
I’m sorry to have troubled you.”
Garth was flattered and quickly said with a bow, “Mr. Clarke, you’re too kind. Had Supreme Williams not
contacted me personally, I wouldn’t have known that these fools under my command had actually
arrested you.”
Philip frowned and asked, “Teacher?” Garth nodded and said with a smile, “Yes, Supreme Williams
contacted me personally.
It can be seen that he holds you in high regard” Philip nodded and chatted with him for a while longer
before Garth sent a chartered helicopter to escort Philip back to Uppercreek.
On the helicopter, Philip turned sideways to look at Ethan who was sleeping with his legs crossed.
He was leaning back on the seat and said, “Don’t you plan to go back?” Ethan grumbled, “No way.
Southridge is not meant as a place for human residence,It’s too tiring. The colorful world outside is more
carefree and relaxing.”
Philip shook his head helplessly and laughed while saying, “Aren’t you afraid that the teacher will bring
you back personally?” Hearing that, Ethan acted like a mouse that had seen a cat. He quickly sat up
straight and said to Philip with a flattering expression, “Brother, you have to help me this time no matter
what,I really don’t want to go back. Just let me have fun with you for a few days”
Philip was helpless.
Even after so many years of training, his cousin was still so playful. “Okay, but we have to make a deal.
When we get to Uppercreek, you can’t expose your identity, especially to your sister-in-law. Do you
understand?” Philip said.
Ethan understood instantly. He made an okay gesture and said, “I know, Brother. Don’t worry, I’ll
definitely keep it a secret. I absolutely won’t reveal your identity to my sister-in-law. A wolf in sheep’s
clothing, right? I understand.”
Philip was startled. ‘A wolf in sheep’s clothing?’ Only Ethan could think of that.
Then, Philip suddenly asked, “By the way, Uncle Tim is looking for you all over the world. Aren’t you
going to contact him?”
Ethan pursed his mouth, leaned back again, and said, “Let him take his time in finding me. It can save
me the hassle of meeting Vivi Joo.”
Philip was hesitant to speak up.
After thinking about it, he only nodded helplessly.
After almost half an hour, they returned to Uppercreek. Since it was a combat specific Apache helicopter,
it naturally could not land in the city.
They could only disembark on a landing pad stationed somewhere in the suburbs.
After that, a jeep was sent to bring Philip and Ethan back to the downtown area of Uppercreek.
As soon as they arrived at the hotel lobby, they found that the entrance was filled with Victor Bell’s men.
Chapter 1894 Victor rushed up to greet Philip even though he still needed someone to support him.
It seemed that Victor was hurt badly by Hal Weiss’ kick. He hurriedly said to Philip, “Young Master
Clarke, you’re back..”
Philip nodded and asked, “Is Madam asleep?” Victor shook his head and said, “No, Madam has been
worried about your safety.”
Philip responded and said to Ethan who was full of excitement behind him, “Let’s go and meet your
sister-in-law.”Ethan replied happily. He was now a bird out of a cage and could not wait to have full.
Victor glanced at Ethan next to Philip and immediately nodded respectfully.
Ethan smiled, patted Victor on the shoulder, and said, “Thanks for your hard work.”Then, Philip led Ethan
upstairs. Inside the hotel suite, Wynn was jittery like a cat on a hot tin roof. She was calling contacts
everywhere, but there was no news at all. Lydia Jensen kept Wynn company in the room,constantly
comforting her while saying, “Sister Wynn, don’t worry. Brother Philip is born under a lucky star. He’ll be
fine!”
Wynn was all tensed up and wanted to cry, but she was afraid that it would affect the baby in her
stomach.
It was said that during pregnancy, it was best to be cheerful every day.
Otherwise, the baby might end up being bad- tempered. At this moment, the door of the suite was
suddenly pushed open.
Philip stood at the door and called out to Wynn in the room, “Wynnie, l’m back..”
Wynn was holding her mobile phone and about to make another call.
Hearing that familiar voice, she turned her head abruptly and saw Philip standing at the door with open
arms.
Tears flowed down her face.
Her tense emotions were finally let out like a torrent at this moment.
Philip stepped forward and hugged the tearful Wynn in his arms. He said comfortingly, “Okay, stop
crying, I’m back now.”
Wynn shook her head repeatedly and cried vigorously in Philip’s arms.
“Do you know how worried I was?” Wynn pounded Philip’s chest with her small fist.After a long while,
Philip finally coaxed Wynn.
Only then did he introduce Ethan who had been standing at the door. “Come here and meet your sister-
in-law.”
Ethan immediately trotted over with a smile and called out like a well-behaved golden retriever, “Sister-in-
law”
Wynn was startled and turned sideways to wipe her tears while muttering to Philip, “Why didn’t you tell
me that we have a guest?”
Philip saw Wynn’s shy look and said, “Don’t worry, he’s not an outsider. He’s my cousin and Uncle Tim’s
son, Ethan Clarke”
Wynn quickly wiped her tears, turned to look at Ethan, and said, “Hello, my name is Wynn Johnston.”
Ethan immediately nodded obediently and said, “I know. I often hear my brother talking about you. He
praises you as the most beautiful woman in the world”
Hearing that, Wynn’s cheeks quickly turned red and she shyly rolled her eyes at Philip.
Philip was also taken aback and turned to look at Ethan.
This kid’s assistance was not bad. On the side, Lydia had been observing Ethan.
The two also exchanged a few glances.
With his carefree attitude, Ethan soon became familiar with Lydia and they quickly became best friends.
After that, the several of them sat chatting for a while.
Philip also made living arrangements for Ethan.
However, when he went downstairs, Lydia pulled Philip aside and looked around.
“What’s up?” Philip noticed Lydia’s caution and felt that this girl was up to something.
Seeing no one around, Lydia whispered, “Brother Philip, I discovered something strange today”
Philip frowned and asked, “What is it? Lydia said, “This morning, I found your mother-in-law and father-
in-law meeting up with two strange people. I also heard them arguing in the room, something about the
Lovelace family”
Chapter 1895 The Lovelace family? Hearing this name, Philip’s heart jolted.
There were survivors in the Lovelace family? Moreover, they had found their way here!
Philip’s face instantly became extremely unpleasant as he asked Lydia, “Are you sure my father-in -law
and mother-in-law met up with two strange people?”
Lydia nodded vigorously, took out her phone from her pocket, and said, “| even took photos. Look.”With
that said, Lydia found the photos she had secretly taken.
Philip glanced at the phone and saw several photos of an unfamiliar man and a woman.
Charles and Martha seemed to be sending them off.
It could be seen from the photos that Charles and Martha looked very unhappy.
Philip frowned and said to Lydia, “You’ve worked hard these days.
Don’t tell your Sister Wynn about this, understand?”
Lydia naturally understood.
She nodded cleverly and said with a smile, “Brother Philip, I’m not stupid. I know what to do. But after
they met the two strangers, Martha approached Sister Wynn and I don’t know what they talked about.
Anyway, Sister Wynn was very angry and they ended the conversation on bad terms. After that, your
father-in-law and mother-in-law were sent back to Riverdale.”
Philip’s heart trembled. Martha had gone looking for Wynn?
In that case, had Wynn found out about her background?
While thinking about this, Philip felt a little flustered.
If Wynn found out about her background, how great a blow would that befor her?
“I got it. You should go back first” Philip frowned.
Lydia left the hotel after that Philip smoked a few cigarettes in the smoking area on the first floor before
going upstairs to Wynn’s suite.
Gently pushing the door open, he saw Wynn fiddling with the baby clothes she bought.
“Didn’t you send Lydia back? Why are you back so soon?” Wynn asked with a sweet smile on her face.
Philip walked over and sat down next to Wynn while replying casually, “She went back on her own and
didn’t let me send her.” Wynn rolled her eyes at him and said, “She was here to keep me company.
The least you could do was send her home.”
Philip hummed and nodded absent-mindedly while saying, “I know. I’ll do it next time.”
Wynn did not pay attention to Philip’s expression either.
Holding two baby clothes in her hands and comparing them, Wynn asked Philip, “Philip, which one do
you think looks better?”
Philip took a glance and said with a smile, “Both look good. It’s for our son anyway. Anything will do.”
Wynn rolled her eyes at him and muttered, “You just don’t care about anything but worry about
everything. I really don’t know what you’re busy with every day”
Philip laughed awkwardly and said, “It’s nothing much. By the way, did Mom look for you today?”
Hearing Philip’s question, Wynn put down the clothes in her hands as her expression instantly crumbled.
She nodded and said,
“Yes, she came looking for me.”
“What’s up? Did you fight again?” Philip continued asking.
Wynn seemed reluctant to talk about it. After thinking about it, she looked at Philip verythinking about it,
she looked at Philip very seriously and asked, “Phil, do you think you love me?”
Philip was taken aback.
‘What sort of question was that?’He replied without hesitation, “Of course.
How could I not love you?” With that said, Philip reached out and pulled Wynn to sit down beside him.
Wynn leaned on Philip’s shoulder and said, “My mother told me to divorce you again, saying that you’ll
drag me and the Johnston family down. She even told me to abandon Mila and the child in my stomach,
so I quarreled with her”
“Divorce?” Philip frowned.
This Martha Yates was really like a dog with a bone, insisting on the divorce and not letting go.
Wynn seemed to sense that Philip was getting angry and quickly said, “Phil, don’t blame my mother. She
just…. Just..”
Wynn did not know what to say either.
Her mother was uncharacteristically tough today, saying that if Wynn did not divorce Philip, she would
sever their mother and daughter relationship.
Although Wynn was even tempered by nature, she also got anxious and quarreled with Martha, telling
her to go ahead with the severance.
This caused Martha to get angry and immediately leave Uppercreek with Charles.
Philip smiled, hugged Wynn lightly, and said, “Okay, I know. She’s your mother and my mother-in-law. As
long as it’s not excessive, I can forgive her. But Wynnie, I have to tell you in advance that if she does
anything to you and the child, I won’t let her off easily”
Wynn naturally understood and nodded without saying anything.
Chapter 1896 After staying with Wynn for a while, Philip went to the hospital to visit Anne. She was still in
a coma but all indicators were good and she would wake up soon.
After all, he had hired the best medical team in the world.
Several medical experts and masters were very respectful and polite upon seeing Philip.
They chatted for a long while.
After half an hour, Philip came out of the hospital and stood at the entrance, looking at the beautiful
sunset and weather.
He would like to spend his life in a small town just like this, accompanied by Wynn and their children.
He wanted to grow old together with them.
However, with everything that happened recently, there were obviously a few big hands in the dark
seeming to be plotting something, flipping the dials of time.
Philip also felt many things engulfing him. It seemed that he could only find out everything after he
returned to Arcadia Island and met his father.
Yes, it was time to go back.
Looking at the sky, Philip took out his phone from his pants pocket, dialed a number, and asked
indifferently, “ls everything ready?”
On the other end of the phone, 17 said, “Young Master, everything is ready. We’re awaiting your return to
the island.”
Philip nodded and said, “Okay, wait two more days. I’m dealing with some personal matters. Two days
later, arrange for someone to pick me up in Uppercreek.”
“I understand.”
The call ended and Philip took a deep breath.
He hailed a cab and headed straight to the hotel where Connor Clarke and the rest were under house
arrest.
Connor Clarke, Allen Clarke, and Levi Clarke had been trapped in the hotel for more than half a month.
Levi was almost going crazy.
They had lost all contact with the people in Uppercreek arranged by the branch family.
They were now birds in a cage at the mercy of others.
“Grandpa, what should we do? It’s been so long and the branch family hasn’t sent anyone Over again.
They’re not going to give up on us, are they?” Levi
