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
Some people were so powerful that someone would turn them into puppets after they died and continue to use them, and the abilities they possessed before they died would be increased by several times. Although human puppets were powerful, they were difficult to produce and required the sacrifice of innocent people, so many people saw it as a twisted and forbidden technique. Every once in a while, human puppets had to kill some powerful practitioners to renew their skin or the skin would disintegrate until it became unusable. Although Philip had met Brett, it was just a brief contact. He was not clear about the Spade family. Philip believed that the human puppet must have been produced by the Spade family because the puppet needed practitioners to renew its skin on a long-term basis or the secret would be exposed in no time. A newly formed puppet had no thoughts of its own. It would gradually think like normal people as time passed, but the most important advantage of a human pup
“I’ve known Hercules a long time ago. He’s very powerful and a top fighter of the Spade family. I didn't expect them to assign him to us. I feel a little flattered now,” Loony said. Philip noticed his reaction. Now that he was rational, they could continue the conversation. “Did he look like this when you saw him back then?” Philip thought that Hercules' mechanical reaction was strange. No normal person should act like that. “He seemed stiffer before, just like a robot, and he almost couldn’t think for himself. “Anyway, he just has to execute the orders given to him by his master without thinking too much. I quite envy him sometimes. His master always speaks his mind without beating about the bush. If I can find such a master… “Bah, I’m an independent individual. Why should I follow a master?” As Loony described his earlier encounter with Hercules, Philip found a clue. “You're right. I finally know what's wrong.” Philip smacked his thigh. He felt that Hercules was too m
“To tell you the truth, we’ve always wanted to take action against the Swift family, but our identity makes it inconvenient for us. We've always hoped that an individual force could take action on our behalf. “The Swift family has other families to support them, but you don’t have to worry about them. We can take care of them. You just need to confront the main family.” Brett clapped his hands together, and a man walked in the door. The man was burly and looked like a strong fighter. “He’s a guard of the Spade family and a force to be reckoned with. To show you my support and gratitude, I’ll lend this guard to you for the time being. His name is Hercules, and he’s no different from the Hercules in our mythology. I gave him this name to make him stronger.” Philip smiled. Sure enough, only humans would appreciate such things. “Hercules, you’ll be their point of contact. You need to do your best to help them if they need help and hold nothing back.” Philip felt Hercules’ power
“We’ll be meeting a young heir of the Spade family. He holds the highest status in the family apart from the head of the family. “I’m sure we can solve the problem as long as we reach an agreement with him. I’m just afraid…” Philip was puzzled by Loony’s hesitation. “What are you worried about? Are you worried that the Spade family won't help you?” Philip was curious. He did not know the Spade family, so he could not predict their reaction. “I’m just afraid that they may be concerned about how this incident will impact them. Although the Spade family resented the Swift family, they've never taken action against them over the years, which proves their caution. Now that things have escalated, I’m not sure if the Spade family will agree to our proposition.” Philip nodded. It was certainly worth consideration, but they could only find out after a talk with them. Philip was not worried about it. If they were willing to cooperate, both parties could form a strong alliance, but it
“Calm down, you’ll have your fun after we deal with Loony. Taking action so quickly is only asking for trouble. We have to keep our cool now.” The ugly man fell silent at Drake’s words. He nodded and forced himself to control his emotions. “I’ll wait for the day, then. I have to commend Loony’s tastes. That woman is quite the catch!"… While Drake planned how to deal with Loony and Philip, Philip was discussing with Loony how to solve this problem. He knew that the Swift family was a force to be reckoned with, but they had to deal with them. Through the conversation, Philip roughly learned the general situation of the human world. All the major families were making a comeback, but the Swift family was the most arrogant among them. Another powerful force was the Spade family. The Spade family had always kept a low profile and had little contact with worldly affairs. They had always frowned upon the Swift family and opposed their crooked ways. After being imprisoned for so m
“I’m surprised that you’re such a devoted lover, but are you sure there’s nothing fishy about it? Humans usually look down on other races. Why would they propose a political marriage?” Lyle expressed his doubts over this matter. There had to be something strange about this. They might suffer a great blow if they rashly opposed the Swift family, but they couldn’t let the Swift family bully the woman of Loony’s dreams either. “I know it’s strange, but I’ve confirmed that the other party is indeed my lover.” They discussed at length but simply could not determine if this was a fraud.… On the other hand, members of the Swift family gathered happily as if there was something worth celebrating. “Are you sure we can trick Loony into coming over with this?” An ugly man looked at Drake with both curiosity and expectation. Drake nodded, excited at the thought that Loony would soon fall into the trap according to his plan. “You have to believe that he’s a man of loyalty and faith,
“Speaking of demons, I recall something. Before Rabbit's father died, he had a relic that he wanted to pass down to Rabbit. It was supposedly a valuable treasure that all demons would fight for.” Everyone was startled to hear that. “Something left by my father? Why have I never heard of it? Tell me the details!” Rabbit’s nonchalance was quickly replaced by anxiety. He had always attached great importance to news of his father. He had lost his memory, so he could not remember many things. He had no impression of his father either, which made him sad. “I don't know what your father left for you, but he was very adamant about giving it to you. It was hidden in the depths of the mountain at the time. Although it was said to be a treasure, I always thought it was just a gimmick.” Black Rabbit had always thought that Rabbit's father was an unreliable rabbit. He often used treasures to trick people into helping him. However, the treasures he gave were the real deal, so the rabbits
At Philip’s level, he could easily escape a carefully planned assassination like that. After the woman returned to the safe base in a hurry, a man appeared in front of her unhappily. “Did you fail your mission?” Although he looked unhappy, there was no anger in his voice. The assassin lowered her head and nodded nervously. She knew that death awaited her upon her failed mission. The other party sighed and said nothing. “This mission was issued by the Swift family. Although you failed your mission, they didn’t blame you, so you won’t suffer any repercussions.” The assassin was surprised to hear the man’s words. She escaped a disaster. “Really? That's great. My target this time is a strong, powerful person. We need to be fully prepared if we have to assassinate him again!” The assassin's name was Scorpio, a professional top-notch killer who rarely failed. However, she was defeated by Philip this time. Scorpio felt a lingering fear at the thought of Philip’s terrifying str
Moby was full of disdain for those people who kept bragging about their bloodline. Bloodline was important, but power was more important. It was sickening to see those people looking down on other races based on their bloodline when they were not strong enough to back it up. Everyone had always looked down on the fish creatures because of their bloodline. They had endured it for a long time. Philip’s arrival marked their time to rise. They had to show everyone that bloodline was not the most important factor in determining status. “However, the demons are not so easy to deal with. We have to be prepared for a drawn-out war. If I’m not mistaken, they’ll find ways to mess with us soon.” Philip was interested in the Swift family and wanted to find out more about them. “Normal people can’t get in touch with the Swift family. They've maintained the prosperity of the family despite being imprisoned for a long time, which proves their strong foundation." Loony was wary. He knew
