Chapter 1899

Connor’s heart almost exploded from those words. It was because of the terrifying look in Philip’s eyes

when he said that. He had only seen this kind of look on Roger Clarke before. It was the kind of look

that contained the domineering aura of superiority.

“W-What do you want to do?” Connor stammered slightly as cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

Philip chuckled, the smile on the corner of his mouth turning more chilling as he said, “In your eyes, I’m

just a good-for-nothing who relies on the main family and my father. You don’t think I’m worthy of being

the heir of the main family at all. But, how would you know about what I’ve prepared over the past

seven years? You’ll see it soon, and I hope that when the time comes, you won’t be too surprised.”

Hearing that, Connor’s heart twitched. When he saw Philip’s profound eyes and confident smile, his

heart thumped rapidly.

‘What did Philip mean by that?’

Was he going to fight against the branch family alone?

That was simply wishful thinking!

Philip left after saying this.

Connor was now drenched in cold sweat as he slumped back on the sofa limply, looking panicked.

‘Damn it, he actually chickened out just now!’

He even almost wanted to kneel and beg Philip to spare his life.

“Connor, what should we do now? Philip even knows that Gareth is downstairs.” Allen looked panicked

at the moment. Gareth Thomson was a hidden pawn they had arranged. Now, he had been discovered

by Philip.

Connor glanced at Levi on the floor and signaled to the attendant to treat his injuries. Then, he said to

Allen, “’I‘ell Gareth not to make a move against Wynn for the time being. I‘m afraid something will

happen.”

“Something will happen?”

Allen shuddered at Connor’s words. His eldest brother was afraid?

“Connor, with Gareth around, what can happen? I think we should end this quickly. As long as Gareth

gets hold of Wynn, it’s as good as catching Philip’s Achilles heel. No matter how powerful he is, he has

to listen to us obediently,” Allen suggested. He really could not stand Philip’s arrogance just now.

Connor shook his head and said with a sullen face, “It’s not that simple. Since Gareth has been

discovered, it means that there’s someone in Uppercreek who’s strong enough to fight him. As far as I

know, this person is the battle god of the main family.”

Connor had a sharp mind and quickly analyzed the current situation.

Allen frowned and said, “You mean Fulton Hash?”

Connor nodded.

“But hasn’t he already left Uppercreek? Moreover, according to the information we received, he just

went to the Nonagon, so he should be back on the island by now,” Allen said.

Connor shook his head and said, “Fulton is not as simple as we think. The old battle god of our branch

family hasn’t stepped out for the past ten years. Do you know why?”

Allen had no idea so he shook his head and said, “Connor, I’ve heard of the old battle god’s story. It

was rumored that he fought with a mysterious existence ten years ago. Since then, he has been in

seclusion. Are you saying that this incident is related to Fulton?”

Connor nodded with a flash of reminiscence in his eyes and said, “That fight ten years ago was

Roger’s first warning to the branch family for crossing the line! The old battle god was also severely

injured by Fulton in that fight. It was also that fight that Fulton was conferred the title and became the

main family’s first battle god. After that fight, the old battle god has been in seclusion ever since. As for

the extent of his injuries, no one knows. Only a few members in the Clarke family know about this

matter.”

Allen was dumbfounded by this information.

“The old battle god of the branch family was in seclusion because he was severely injured by Fulton?”

That was too terrifying!
