Chapter 2838

Hearing this, Chandler’s face darkened, but he still persuaded Cooper, “Deputy Consul Berry, I’d like to

advise you to think twice about this. If you take any action against the young patriarch of the Clarke

family, I’m worried that Roger Clarke will retaliate. If that happens, things will be very tricky and may

even trigger a chain reaction between the Clarke family and the Nonagon. At that time, there’ll be

greater chaos in the country, and foreign forces will also invade.”

“Enough!” Cooper shouted coldly, walked up to Chandler, and said with a chill in his eyes, “Pavilion

Master Curtis, I know what you’re thinking, but I’ve decided on this matter. No further discussion is

needed! It’s just the Clarke family. You may be afraid but I’m not! Guards, invite Pavilion Master Curtis

to go back and take a break. Let him reflect on his identity!”

Cooper shouted, and two loyal subordinates of his, each with extraordinary strength, walked out behind

him.

This was house arrest. Chandler scowled and left the meeting room of the Nonagon. Then, Cooper

glanced at the other people present and asked, “Anyone else with any objections can stand up now

and take a break along with Pavilion Master Curtis.”

No one dared to make a move. Cooper was now different compared to before and held most of the

power in Nonagon.

Cooper sneered and said, “In that case, our discussion ends here.”

After that, Cooper left the meeting room and said to his men behind him, “Go to Fernvale immediately. I

want to see how arrogant Philip is!”

On Philip’s side, Reed, Fennel, the Shadow Guards, and the others were gathered together.

Reed said gravely, “I received a confidential report that Cooper Berry, the deputy consul of the

Nonagon, has successfully reached the half-step to the other shore yesterday!”

Hearing this, Philip and Fennel shuddered. This was out of their expectations.

Reed continued, “In just half a day, most people have chosen to serve Cooper. Although Cooper has

not officially taken over the Nonagon yet, it has become a fact. Moreover, according to the secret

report, the Turtle Pavilion’s Master Chandler Curtis has been placed under house arrest.”

Hearing Reed’s words, Fennel’s face darkened as he said, “Master Curtis is under house arrest?”

Reed nodded and said to Philip, “Another secret report shows that Cooper has embarked on a flight to

Fernvale with numerous people. The target is you.”

Philip jolted before saying with a sneer, “Is it because of Mick Berry?”

Reed hummed and said, “Mick is just the trigger. Cooper’s objective is to test the Clarke family’s bottom

line. If he wants to make a move this time, it’ll be against the Clarke family. He now represents the

Nonagon. The reason for taking action against the Clarke family is to force other parties to choose

which side to take. This is deterrence and intimidation to the strength of the disciples in the country. If

I’m not mistaken, Cooper’s goal is not only the Nonagon. There must be a reason why he was able to

break through to the half-step to the other shore in such a short time.”

Hearing this, Philip became very serious.

A powerhouse half-step to the other shore. Right now in Fernvale, no one could stand up against

Cooper, right?

No, there was someone!

Benny Larson, the master of the Gentleman Court. However, Philip had no idea of his whereabouts.
