Chapter 627
The First Heir
Nevertheless, Philip knew no fear as he looked at Canon frostily.
Right now, Canonâs limbs had been completely shattered. He wept tragically and pleaded for mercy,
âPhil, cousin, please donât kill me! Iâm sorry, Iâm so sorry.â
He was scared of dying!
Canon had never expected to be so close to death one day.
Philip was a demon for ignoring the family rules and Giadaâs Sovereignty Seal.
âKill you?â
Philip chuckled coldly. âI wonât kill you. Iâll make you live the rest of your life as trash, begging on the
streets. I want you to live every minute and every second in regret and pain!â
With that, he sneered, âThrow him onto the streets and make sure he can only beg for a living. He must
never take a single step out of Riverdale!â
âYes, sir!â
Theo nodded.
After that, Philip turned to Gerard and continued, âDo you know what your biggest mistake was, Great-
uncle? It was thinking that I was nothing in the seven years since I left the family, thinking that I canât do
anything to you. Well, youâre wrong there. To me, even the Clarkes arenât a hundredth bit as important
as my wife Wynn and daughter Mila!
âSend him back to Arcadia and show the branch families what happens to those who cross me. At the
same time, tell them that anyone who tries to touch my friends and family will suffer the same
consequences!â
Finally, Philip turned his gaze to Giada.
Meanwhile, there was a small island in the distant seasâ¦
Arcadia!
The entire island was created by nature and renovated by man. The whole process involved vast
amounts of money and manpower!
It was shrouded in mystery!
It was almost a myth at this point!
Other than the members of the Clarke family, nobody in the world knew the exact coordinates of the
islandâs location!
The island itself was built like a fortress!
The very center of the island was a castle on the mountain peak. It was pure white, extremely
extravagant, and surrounded by clouds. That was where the islandâs center of authority, the very
emblem of Arcadia itself!
No building in the world could compare!
The castle was built from scratch for one woman and for her alone.
She was a woman of unspeakable beauty, whose grace put the stars to shameâ Charlotte Larson!
Right now!
Somewhere on the island, several dozen teams of armed guards gathered in formation. All of them
wore the same uniforms, berets, combat boots, guns, goggles, and night vision equipment. There was
the same symbol of a golden island and a floating sword embroidered on all their chests!
The leader had a golden star on his shoulder patch!
His eyes were sharp, like that of a leopard hunting at night. He swept his gaze across the several
dozen teams of almost a hundred men.
âEveryone, listen up! We must obey Master Clarkeâs orders upon his Sovereignty Seal and banish
Gerard Clarkeâs family from this island. Remove them all, and those who object must be killed!â
The man barked coldly, his voice especially loud in the night!
Even so, it was barely more than a beeâs buzz on this huge island.
âMove out! Complete the mission ASAP! We must take down Gerard Clarke from the branch family no
matter what it takes!â
In an instant, the special forces, almost a hundred strong, all rushed to a certain area on the island,
armed to the teeth.
The place they were headed was brightly lit, with all the riches and vices one could imagine. There
were several dozen mansions, small castles, even karaoke parlors, bars, and other entertainment!
It was practically a small city!
That just showed the true financial prowess of the island inhabitants and the power held by the areaâs
masters.
This was the territory of Gerard Clarkeâs branch family here on Arcadia!
The teams of special forces brought their guns under the cover of night and wove through the streets,
all equipped with night-vision goggles. They moved in unison according to orders, just like SWAT teams
would operate in the movies!
Gerardâs descendants playing on the streets and even their servants were all stunned to see the
soldiers who appeared out of nowhere!
âHey! Who are you lot? Who gave you permission to be here?â
One of the more arrogant young heirs, one of Gerardâs descendants, rudely yelled at the armed special
forces.
They recognized their familyâs guards well enough.
The question was, why were their armed guards suddenly here in the branch family territory?!
They did not seem to be here to play, either!
âDaheck?! Theyâre ignoring Master Jean!â
âWhatâs with that attitude? Theyâre probably here for a military drill, right? So what if youâre with the
main family? Youâre still servants!â
The inhabitants of the area instantly turned on the guards, their expressions filled with contempt.
The young man with a hot woman in each arm, the one they called Master Jean, sneered as he said,
âWell, well, how dare the main familyâs guard dogs intrude onto Master Gerardâs land! Youâre asking for
a beating here!â
As he spoke, Jean let go of the scantily-dressed womenâs slender waists and then sauntered up to the
armed special forces!
âHey, guard doggies, cat got your tongue? Donât you know me, your Master Jean?â
