Chapter 2023

Sounds of objects flying through the air.

At Philip’s command, hundreds of spears were launched like dazzling meteors, carrying the momentum

of lightning.

In the eyes of the law enforcement hall guards, the sky was full of purple meteors that shone with a

golden glow. They broke through the distance of a few hundred meters and arrived in the blink of an

eye!

Puff, thud!

The spears pierced through the chests and abdomens of different figures. In a flash, seven or eight

rows of guards in front of Desmond fell in a pool of blood.

Desmond’s eyes flowed with panic as he looked at the few guards left standing on his side.

Flustered!

Completely flabbergasted!

This was just the first face-off!

Philip’s Griffin Army had taken down most of his personal guards. This was something Desmond totally

did not expect.

The combat effectiveness of the Griffin Army had completely surpassed Desmond’s perception.

Scary! Absolutely terrifying!

Philip had been away from the Clarke family for seven years, so why was his Griffin Army still so

strong?

This was simply a one-sided battle.

At the same time, the guards standing next to Desmond panicked when they saw the guards falling

everywhere. Without further ado, they fell to their knees, held their heads, and threw away their

helmets and armor.

Thud, thud!

The Griffin Army parted, leaving a passage.

Philip walked out from the back with his hands in his trouser pockets. He stepped over the cold bodies

of the law enforcement hall guards, walked in front of Desmond, and stopped about half an arm’s

distance away.

Philip’s eyes were icy-cold as he stared at Desmond and asked, “Now, do you have any last words?”

Desmond suddenly became furious as his eyes turned red. He growled. “Philip boy, I’m Desmond

Clarke, the third elder of the law enforcement hall! If you dare to do anything to me today, the branch

family will definitely not spare you!”

Philip sneered, “Desmond, I’ve heard this same sentence not less than ten times today! If your branch

family really wants to deal with me, just come at me together! There’s no need for you to come one by

one and serve your heads on a silver platter to me. Look, Connor, Allen, Wilfred, Sinclair, Levi, Kelsey,

Gerry, and now, you. If you guys continue like this, I really don’t know who else will be left alive to

preside over your branch family.”

Hiss!

Desmond gasped, and a sinister glint appeared in his eyes. He roared. “Philip Clarke, you arrogant

brat! You’re ignorant and provoking our branch family!”

Smack!

Philip flung his hand, slapped Desmond across the face, and said, “Insolence! Is this the way to speak

to the heir of the main family? Do you think I don’t dare to do anything to you just because you’re my

great-granduncle? You claim to represent the law enforcement hall, so let me ask you. In the family

rules, what should you do when you meet the heir of the main family?”

Desmond’s face darkened, and his left cheek turned red. He was 70 years old and had never been hit

in the face. However, he was actually slapped in the face today by a junior like Philip!

“How dare you! I’m your third great…” Desmond still wanted to use his status to suppress others.

Smack!

Without any hesitation, Philip very decisively slapped him again and asked coldly, “When you see the

heir of the main family, what should you do according to the family rules?”

“You! You dare…” Desmond roared.
