Back to Philip and Fennel. At this time, they had left seclusion and were chatting in the room. “So, how do you feel?” Philip asked with a smile. Fennel took a sip of wine and said, “Not bad, I finally took that step forward. Next, I need to go to the Nonagon to take some things back.” Philip nodded and asked, “What things?” Fennel smiled and said, “Some things I once lost.” Philip pursed his lips and did not ask further but said instead, “Let me know if you need my help.” Fennel smiled and said, “Sure.” At this moment, a servant walked over and said with a bow, “Mr. Clarke, Mr. Leon Jefferson is here to see you.” Philip quickly got up and said, “Let him in.” Soon, Leon walked in with Mila. Little Mila had been frightened out of her wits in the past few days. At the sight of Philip, she immediately ran and jumped into his arms while sobbing loudly, “Dad, boo-hoo, I thought I’d never see you again.” Philip hugged Mila, bopped her nose, and said, “Silly girl. I’m here, aren’t I? So, are you injured anywhere?” Mila rubbed her big teary eyes, pursed her lips, and sobbed. “No…” Philip felt his heart aching. After finally comforting Mila, he got someone to bring Mila out before he said to Leon, “Villa Master Jefferson, thank you very much.” Leon immediately replied, “Young Patriarch Clarke, you don’t have to do this. It’s just a small matter.”

After the pleasantries, Leon sat down and said to Philip, “Young Patriarch Clarke, what do you plan to do next?” Philip shrugged and said, “I’m here to save my daughter. I don’t have any other plans. Do you have anything in mind?” Leon smiled and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, you promised me earlier that you would participate in the Disciple Competition, which will start in five days. I’d like to confirm if you’ll be attending it.” Hearing that, Philip nodded and said, “Since it’s your request, of course, I’ll agree. But the Singer family has been destroyed. Will this competition go on as usual?” Hearing this, Leon breathed a sigh of relief before he said, “The Disciple Competition won’t be affected by external factors. The incident with the Singer family has caused a storm in the North, and many families are speculating about Young Patriarch Clarke and Mr. Leigh. With this opportunity, the two of you can also make a name for yourselves in the North. When the time finally comes for the North and South to combine forces, it’ll also fulfill Grant’s last wish.” Philip glanced sideways at Fennel and asked, “Do you want to participate too?” Fennel shrugged and said, “I’m fine either way.”
