Above the crowd, a bright red banner with a few particularly noticeable large characters was displayed. [Beacon, the unscrupulous company! Tumor of the medical industry! Profiting off peoples’ lives! We demand justice!] There was also a lot of discussion among the crowd. “Oh, what a pitiful family. I heard that a couple took Beacon’s medicine and died, leaving only a pair of toddlers and an old mother.” “What? So miserable? Then this Beacon is too evil! How could they claim to be a pharmaceutical company? They’re selling poison!” “Profiteering merchants! Dishonest traders! Get out of Riverdale! We want the relevant agencies to conduct a thorough investigation!” In the crowd, everyone was raising their arms and shouting. Of course, among these people, some were paid actors while some were ignorant spectators who got driven by emotions. Mindy led a few people over and asked anxiously, “What's the matter? Why are so many people making trouble?” At a glance, there was a s
Fortunately, Fabio’s security team moved quickly and guarded Wynn behind them.“Madam Johnston, are you alright?” Mindy was anxious and kept wiping things off Wynn. Wynn shook her head, forced a smile, and said, “I’m fine. We can’t blame people for being angry.” After that, she walked out from behind the security guards, faced the angry crowd, and shouted, “Everyone, please calm down. We can’t solve the problem like this. Regarding this matter, Beacon will communicate with the family members promptly. We will also understand the needs of the family members. I hope everyone will give me some time.”“Bullsh*t! Why should we believe you? Wynn Johnston is the number one villain!” “Exactly! I heard that you’re pregnant. I’m sure the child in your stomach will also become a scum of society in the future! It’s better to die!” Wicked! In the crowd, several big guys with tattoos had been inciting violent emotions in people right from the start. Tiger tilted his head and spoke in
The three men got out of the car with a serious attitude, broke through the crowd, and stood in front of Wynn. “Are you Wynn Johnston, chairwoman of Beacon Group?” The man who took the lead had a square jaw and a deep scar at the corner of his eye, but the hat he was wearing was so low that no one could see it. “Yes, I am. May I know who you are?” Wynn was perplexed. Why were the people from the Drug Administration Association also here? Also, from the forceful intensity of this situation, things did not appear to be good. The square-jawed man gestured directly to his subordinates, took out a sealed document from the briefcase, and handed it to Wynn. “We received reports from the public that your company is producing and selling counterfeit drugs. We’re here to understand the situation. You need to shut your company down for rectification. Chairman Johnston, please come with us.” Wynn was startled and quickly explained, “Everyone, I’m sorry. This is a misunderstanding. Ou
One problem followed after another. Philip’s body was full of chills at the moment. He suddenly realized that things sounded off and asked anxiously, “What's going on? Beacon is said to be producing and selling counterfeit drugs? How is this possible?” Tiger said nervously on the phone, “Mr. Clarke, I don't know the specific situation, but just now, a group of people was making trouble at the entrance of the company. There were several groups of people and media reporters on the scene. While the lady was dealing with it, people from the Drug Administration Association came over, saying that they wanted Beacon to suspend business for rectification. They then took the lady and Assistant Mindy away forcefully.” Tiger hurriedly recounted what happened. Philip frowned deeply after listening. This incident was full of oddities. So many people were making trouble together, and the appearance of the reporters... By right, these reporters would not have arrived at the scene so soon.
Thump, thump, thump! Someone was knocking on the door. “Come in.” It was Wallace’s voice. The man walked into the office and said to Wallace humbly, “Boss, they’ve already left the hospital. According to our men at the town’s borders, the car has also left Phoenicia.” “Great!” Wallace’s fist landed on the desk with his back facing the man. Through the window, he looked at the scenery of Phoenicia outside, staring at the vast green mountains far away. Then, Wallace took out his phone, dialed Lame Fred's number, and said in a deep voice, “Lame Fred, I already got that person out of Phoenicia for you. The next step is up to you. I expect only one result!” “Boss Phoenix, don’t worry. Pay up and the deed is done. That’s my motto. Just wait for my good news.” Beep. The call ended. Wallace sneered menacingly. Twisting the corner of his eyes, he could already see the outcome. Philip Clarke dared to fight with him? He would take the lives of his entire family! Then, Wa
This scene happened too abruptly and too quickly! In the car, Theo and the two black-suited bodyguards in the front seats quickly took out their weapons from their waist and waited! Theo realized they had fallen into the trap! It was a planned diversion! Moreover, the other party had set up an ambush on the mountain road leading to Riverdale from Phoenicia. In other words, the people behind were here to kill Philip! “Mr. Clarke, stay in the car!” Theo immediately made plans. He looked at the two men in front of him and said, “Follow me down. Whatever happens, protect Mr. Clarke!” However, Philip stopped Theo, shook his head, and said, “It's useless. Since the other party has already arranged this, they won't let us go. Stay in the car and act according to the situation!” Through the glass windows, they saw four or five men and women wearing various masks approaching from behind the cars while holding long firearms in their hands. They were ruthlessly shooting at the r
Having said that, Philip flung the card at them! The surface of the golden card reflected the brilliance of the sunlight in mid-air! Lame Fred was very excited. Staring at the bank card that was thrown out, he reached out and grabbed it! Suddenly! Swoosh! A flash of silver! A severed arm spewing drops of red flew in mid-air with a beautiful arch before falling to the ground! The golden bank card that was thrown in the air was also grabbed by another hand. All this happened in two to three seconds! Very fast! Before Lame Fred and his men understood what was going on, they saw that their boss’ hand was chopped off from the elbow when he reached out to grab the bank card. “Argh!” A scream immediately resounded throughout the mountain road! Lame Fred clutched his mutilated arm tightly, his face splattered with blood. He was howling in pain. Finally, the five people saw the person responsible approaching. It was a woman! To be precise, she was a woman with an
Young… Master? Theo was stunned and put down the gun in his hand. He looked incredulously at the woman who was kneeling in front of him, then looked at Philip suspiciously. Philip glanced at Theo and said, “I’ll explain later.” Then, he looked at the woman and said with a smile, “Get up.” The woman got up, her heroic and serious face suddenly blooming with a smile that resembled a sea of flowers. She went up, hugged Philip fiercely, and shouted coquettishly, “Philip, long time no see. Did you miss me?” This sudden change caught Theo and the others by surprise. One second before this, five people had just been beheaded by her. One second later, she was acting like a cheerful little girl. Philip smiled, motioned to 17 to let him go, and touched the top of her head. “You’ve grown taller. Father sent you here?” 17 nodded with gleaming eyes, saying, “Yes, the lord told me to come over and protect you secretly.” “When?” Philip continued asking. 17 was a little bit e
“You never considered the consequences when you tried to take advantage of us. We brought them here, and they have the right to choose. Don't think about taking advantage.” Philip nodded at Fitz’s attitude. Sure enough, he liked this earnest man and was happy with his point of view. “If you want something, you need to pay a price for it. As I mentioned, I’m a businessman, so I prefer fair trade. I’m more than happy if you want to discuss a deal with me.” In fact, they had reached an agreement before the spider people arrived. Philip would not help the other three races for free, but he was not bad enough to charge them fees either. However, the spider people were different. Not to mention that Philip had a bad impression of them, but Rabbit’s grudge also remained unavenged. The spider people scowled at Philip’s disrespect, which was simply outrageous. The other races laughed gloatingly. The spider people had always been arrogant and domineering, preventing their developme
“I'm afraid that the snake people will strike a deal with him and monopolize everything.” The old man anxiously led everyone in the direction of the snake people. They could not miss the chance to share a piece of the pie. However, he did not intend to tell his people about it. The other two races no longer existed in the outside world, so it did not matter if they could not leave. It would be best to let their legends fade away in history. That idea was very selfish. Just when he thought he could grab all the benefits by stealth, the snake people shared the information without keeping it a secret. However, the snake people only shared the news with the other two races. They did not have a good impression of the spider people and even had the idea of leaving them behind. When the spider people hurried over, they found a crowd. They saw not only the young ones of the snake people but also those from the other two races. The other two races were the turtles and magpies. Just li
The old man felt annoyed when he saw the two women not getting along. He knew that the holy maidens of the family would face a lot of struggles. Ambitious women would try every means to cause trouble just to destroy the status of the holy maidens. By doing so, they could find ways to replace them. It was an underhanded method but effective. After all, not everyone could cope with the distinguished status of the holy maiden. One mistake could be fatal. Therefore, a holy maiden had to be prideful and flawless, just like an untainted and pure white lotus. The old man nodded thoughtfully. He did not think that Arachne looked like the holy maiden, and his suspicions were confirmed. She was not the holy maiden at all. Actions spoke louder than words. Arachne did not carry a regal bearing, so she would not act like a queen even if she wore a crown. At first, the old man wondered why the spider family would choose someone so unbefitting for the role of the holy maiden. Now that
At this point, an old man walked over. Although they usually maintained their true form, they sometimes took on a human form. Unlike the snake people who did not look very different between the two forms, the spider people looked outrageous in their true forms. “Are you one of the younger generation from outside?” The old man was curious to see the younger children's arrival at this place today. As someone who could not wait to make an impression, Arachne rushed forward and began to introduce herself. In short, Arachne was gradually taking over Ariadna’s position. Although the others were annoyed, they did not say anything because Arachne was really putting in some effort. There was no point in arguing about such things. The most important thing was to remove their curse. The old man was very excited and could not wait to welcome them. “This is wonderful. It has been thousands of years since we saw an outsider!” His eyes gleamed with excitement. “Tell me how you got in,” he
“Now that the spider people have found new blood, I’m afraid that things will worsen.” At this point, Fitz sighed helplessly. Rabbit jumped out at this time. He hated the spider people. Hearing their shameless behavior, Rabbit was agitated. “Sure enough, those spiders are up to no good. Philip, why don’t we just get rid of them? Take it as revenge for me!” Rabbit waved his paw and looked at Philip excitedly. He knew that only Philip could help him. The spiders might not be strong, but they had strength in numbers. They were not people to be trifled with. While Philip and the others were chatting, Ariadna and her people found the spider people. Arachne was very excited and smug, waiting to take all the credit. “As I said, we can find something we've been looking for if we enter this place! Sure enough, following Philip can help us overcome all difficulties and find our ancestral land and predecessors. So what if they're trapped here? They must have many more treasures and secr
They could also see some toddlers, which proved that the predecessors were living quite a good life. “We thought you had ascended to another place. Is this the place you ended up? It doesn’t look like the paradise described in the books!” Selma blinked innocently, wondering why this place looked like this. This place was not rich in energy, and there was nothing special about it, so it was not attractive at all. “We didn’t ascend but have been trapped in this place over the years with no way to leave.” Fitz did not want to deceive them and simply told them the facts. Now that they had entered, the newcomers had no way of leaving either. “Didn’t you notice? The passage that led you in has been sealed. There’s no way to leave now.” Selma turned her head curiously and looked at the exit. Philip followed suit and found that it was indeed the case. The exit was blocked by a huge stone. No one knew when the stone appeared. It felt like it appeared out of thin air. Philip's ex
When Philip’s eyes adjusted to the light, he saw a gurgling stream in front of him. There was a small village beside the stream and many more villages along the stream. Philip counted four in total. The villagers who lived along the stream observed Philip as he looked at them. “Outsiders?” A man standing in the front stared at Philip in surprised disbelief. Philip noticed that he had a snake tail. Hearing the man's words, everyone ran out. Without exception, they all had a snake tail. It was clear that they belonged to the same race as Selma. Selma covered her mouth in shock at this scene. It was true. Their predecessors were staying there. The man mellowed down after seeing Selma. He felt a familiar vibe on her. It seemed that they shared the same bloodline. Philip nudged Selma, who quickly understood his meaning and showed her true form. Cavin followed her cue. Seeing this scene, the man laughed and applauded. The spider people arrived at this time. They were surpri
Philip finally realized that Ariadna was not wealthy enough to do business with him. “This emerald pendant is very valuable! Don’t look down on it just because you’re strong!” Ariadna grumbled under her breath but had no choice but to accept it. After all, Philip had the final say about its value. Maybe her treasure was worthless to Philip because he was too strong for it. After taking the emerald pendant, Philip told Ariadna what he knew per their agreement, which was the secret about people living in the ancestral land. As expected, Ariadna was shocked by the news too. “Are you serious? This is too far-fetched. Are you saying that our predecessors have been trapped here and haven't left for another place?” Her outburst gave Philip a different idea. When he spoke to Selma earlier, he subconsciously believed that these so-called predecessors had ascended. It was strange that they reached a very odd place of ascension. After hearing Ariadna’s remark, however, it seemed mor
No one knew if their predecessors would treat them as their own. Although they had the same bloodline, they had not seen each other for such a long time. Besides, they sneaked into the ancestral land without permission. Maybe they would be killed before they stepped inside. Philip’s information was very useful, indeed. Selma quickly returned to her family members in a panic and discussed with them. With only a few of them, the discussion was very brief before they reached a decision. Cavin grimaced at this unexpected development, and he was more in awe of Philip. He was shocked by Philip’s strength. If Philip could sense that, his observation skill was nothing in front of Philip! Cavin felt helpless about it. It felt a little embarrassing to have shown off his skill in front of Philip now. “Selma, what should we do now? We have to consider the stalkers behind us. They won’t give up that easily. We may be in trouble if we don't find a way to get rid of them.” Cavin glanced at th
