Chapter 2171

Seth looked at Philip as a smile slowly blossomed on his face. He said, “You’re carved out of the same

mold as your mother. Even your characters are the same.”

Hearing this, Philip frowned. After a long while, he said, “How long were you with my mother?”

Seth turned around and looked up at the gray, gloomy sky. The muffled thunder exploded in his ears as

the lightning flashed in his eyes constantly.

He said, “It’s about to rain.”

Philip also looked out the window.

Seth continued, “Back then, it was in such weather that my adoptive mother rescued me from that

place. After that, she brought me into the door of the Nonagon and taught me many things. She always

said that I was stupid, and I, too, felt that I was stupid. She had to teach me many things many times

but I just couldn’t master any of them. However, she didn’t know that I had already learned everything

long ago. I just didn’t want to tell her that. In this way, she’d take the time to accompany me and teach

me.”

As Philip listened, his face grew darker. He stared coldly at Seth.

Seth turned to him and said, “Philip, do you know? I’ve always been jealous of you because she was

always thinking and talking about you. She kept mentioning you, her precious son, to me. You were the

son she could never let go of. Many times, she was arranging everything for you behind your back. I

always thought how wonderful it would be if I were you, the biological son of my adoptive mother. In

this way, her love would all be mine.”

“Enough!”

Suddenly, Philip roared as he glared fixedly at Seth. He said, “You’ve strayed from the topic of our

meeting today!”

Seth smiled and said, “Philip, to help me is to help you. District 12 will always be a thorn in the Clarke

family’s side. Back then, Mother took charge of District 12 to curb the main and branch Clarke families

and to achieve a delicate balance. Here, there are many things that the Clarkes can’t get involved in,

and there are many things that the Clarkes can’t control. If you help me, it will pave the road for you to

rule the Clarke family in the future. As long as you help me, I can promise you one condition, a

condition that I’ll try my best to help you with. So, what do you think of my generous offer?”

Seth’s face was full of smiles, and his eyes were shining brightly as if he had Philip in the bag.

After a second of silence, Philip got up and asked, “You said that you have entered the Nonagon’s door

with Mother before. What’s your current strength?”

Seth smiled, raised his hand, and a golden ball of light suddenly erupted from his palm. Mysterious and

obscure runes circled this ball of light. This ball of light also quickly illuminated this private room golden.

Seth flipped his hand back and the ball of light disappeared. He said, “My strength is acceptable, and I

have the ability to protect myself. You don’t have to worry about me. You, however, are not even

considered a disciple of the first zone yet you dared to take such dangerous action at the checkpoint.

Don’t you know that many people are now keeping a close eye on the Clarke family and you? If they

find out that you’ve developed your energy field and attributes, do you think they can still hold back?”

“Hehehe…”

Philip chuckled and said, “I never had the intention of hiding it because my goal is to enter the

Nonagon’s door. I must take a look no matter what. In that case, why not speed up the plans for them?”

Seth nodded with admiration in his eyes and said, “Interesting. You’re the first guy I’ve met who

interests me. As expected of my adoptive mother’s son. No wonder she chose you as her heir back

then. I’m curious to know how far you can grow.”

Philip frowned. His mother’s heir?

What did Seth mean by that?
