Chapter 2845

The grand elder had passed on, while the outcome of Consul Yarrow was still unknown. Excluding the

grand elder, there were three. After all, during the battle on Arcadia Island, Juno once fought Roger in

his peak condition. Later, the grand elder had to make a move before the matter died down. Thus,

Juno’s real strength should also be in the realm of the other shore. However, it could also be the peak

of the pseudo-realm.

It was difficult to determine…

If Juno was in the realm of the other shore, and there was also the Imperial Preceptor, there was one

last spot left.

Who could this person be?

If the Imperial Preceptor was not in the realm of the other shore but the pseudo-realm, there would be

two spots left. Someone else was in the realm of the other shore.

Who was it?

Philip looked grave.

Seeing this, Reed said, “Don’t take it too seriously. The world’s progression is beyond our control. You

need to grow up as fast as you can and reach the level of your father before you can know more and

understand more. In this game of chess, all of us are pawns now. Only when you grow to the level of

your father can you jump out of this chess game and become the chess player.”

Hearing Reed’s words, Philip’s frown grew deeper. Benny Larson had told him exactly the same thing.

It was the chess game and the chess player again!

“Teacher, I never could figure out what exactly is the chess game you’re talking about,” Philip asked.

Reed sighed and said, “This chess game encompasses the entire world, even the ancients. This is a

chess game that has spanned for thousands of years. So far, this chess game has been controlled by

your father and some other people. These people are making the moves in the chess game, and the

result will depend on each person’s ability.”

Hearing this, Philip was even more confused.

Who would use this world as a chessboard and all living beings as chess pieces?

After the chat, Philip and the others left the room. Now, the entire hotel was under lockdown, and

irrelevant people were not allowed to enter. Philip and the others returned to their room, their faces full

of worry.

Reed was seriously injured, and his strength had deteriorated. It would take half a month for him to

recover. Now that Cooper was here, he would come after them again within the day.

Fennel said, “Don’t worry, I’ve deployed the people from the Hall of the Sun as well as Athena’s people.

I just received the news that they’re now parked on the high seas. If Cooper dares to act

unscrupulously, I’ll destroy the Nonagon building.”

Hearing that, Philip smiled and said, “Thank you…”

Then, he held the Supreme Order in his hand. After thinking for a while, he did not use it. That was

because he had another trump card!

***

Sure enough, as Reed predicted, Cooper’s guards arrived at the hotel entrance within the day.

“Young Patriarch Clarke, the deputy consul would like to invite you and Supreme Williams to go to the

Larson family again,” The guard said calmly.

Philip stood at the door with Fennel and the others behind him.

“Deputy Consul Berry is really persistent,” Philip said, looked at the car parked on the street, and said,

“I’ll go over.”

Fennel and the others wanted to follow, but Philip stopped them. He said, “Stay and take good care of

Teacher.”

Cynthia cried anxiously, tugged on Philip’s arm, and said, “You must be careful.”

Philip smiled and said, “Don‘t worry, I’ll be back. I’ll make them send me back in a grand fashion.”
