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
Fitz felt particularly bad at the thought that he failed to protect his people. He vowed to take revenge. People of other races shared the same thoughts. Everyone thought that their people had gone out to seek ways to leave but were met with an accident. Unexpectedly, they were harmed by the spider people, which was simply despicable and unacceptable. “You just need to sacrifice one more person for everyone to leave this dangerous place and lift the curse from us,” Weaver said. Everyone's eyes turned bloodshot at his words, shocked that Weaver would say that so openly. “Hehe, you’re really bold to perform a sacrifice. Why not use one of your own?” Fitz laughed and stared at Weaver. Weaver scowled. Of course, the idea crossed his mind, but the records stated that they had to use other races for sacrifice. Using their own people as sacrifice would void it, so they had to use others. This would not only reduce the other party’s manpower but also save a lot of effort. However,
Philip wanted to figure out what the spider people were up to. It looked like they had been planning this for a long time, which was terrifying. He had to let the others know about this. Everyone had the right to know. Moreover, the pitiful magpie woman was scared out of her wits. Philip had to bring her home. “Let's go back now. We’ll explore this place later. Do you want to stay here or go out with us?” Philip looked at Celeste curiously. He did not think she was brave enough to venture out. Sure enough, Celeste tugged at the corner of her clothes as she pondered. “I'll go out with you!” Celeste finally decided after much deliberation. Since she had decided to follow Philip, there was no point in hiding here anymore. She had to pluck up the courage. Celeste had lived in the forest for very long and had never gone out before, so she was curious about the outside world. “I want to see the outside world!” Celeste said nervously. Philip simply nodded without a word. The
At this point, Philip sprang into action. He appeared in front of the other party, catching them off guard. “Who allowed you to kill people for no reason?” The spider people were shocked by Philip’s sudden appearance. They were frightened to see someone there, and he was none other than the human who had strayed into this place by accident. The spiders panicked and wanted to run, but Philip quickly released Puffy. The spider people could not escape because of the curse placed on them and also because of Puffy's existence. The passage only allowed entry, not exit. When anyone stepped into that passage, they would not only come under Puffy’s attack but also suffer a gut-wrenching pain. They felt something was wrong when they tried to escape. Someone noticed Puffy approaching them and yelled in fear, “It’s that deadly thing!” Someone recognized Puffy and ran away screaming. They had no chance of winning against Puffy, so they had no choice but to run. Seeing someone running aw
Philip could tell that Celeste wanted to help, but she was too weak to do anything. “Don’t worry so much. Let’s wait and see what happens. If possible, we won’t stand by and do nothing. These people are simply outrageous.” Philip did not have a good impression of the spider people, and this incident made it worse. “Not bad!” Rabbit hopped onto Celeste’s shoulder excitedly. Ever since he found out that Celeste had no ability, he liked her even more. He liked people who had no combat power. Except for that extra eye, there was nothing strange about her. Besides, she was quite a beautiful woman, so Rabbit was fond of her. “Philip will take care of it. Don’t worry about it. He’s an outstanding man who fights for justice. You’ll have a good life if you follow Philip, especially since you have that ability but are powerless to take care of yourself. I’m sure you need someone to protect you,” Rabbit chattered away. Rabbit knew how special Celeste’s ability was. She would be of gr
Celeste seemed simple and kind, and after she told Philip everything she knew, Philip and Rabbit gradually changed their minds about her for the better. “We actually learned such a big secret this time. What a surprise!” Philip exclaimed. He followed Celeste to the altar, which was very far away. Before they reached the altar, they smelled a strong stench of blood. Philip frowned at this unexpected development. Rabbit covered his nose in surprise at the strong stench of blood. “Wait, I don’t think it’s human blood.” Philip sensed that the blood came from the few pitiful races. “I can smell it. Except for the spider people, I smell the blood of other races!” At this moment, a soft sound came from the side. Celeste quickly pulled Philip and Rabbit to hide in the corner. Celeste had lost the ability to be invisible, so she could only take Philip to hide in a panic. She knew that they could not expose themselves. “Someone is coming. Stay here and don’t do anything. You’ll f
“No one ever comes to my place. You must be outsiders.” Celeste was curious, wondering who Philip was. Celeste knew about the four unique races, but Philip’s appearance and form did not fit any of them. “You’re right. I’m an outsider. I wanted to know something, so I came to the forest. It’s best if you can give me an answer. I don’t intend to harm anyone. If you can answer my questions, I’ll leave and remove the curse on you as well,” Philip persuaded her. He felt that the woman was quite sincere, different from what he imagined. In that case, there was no need to make things difficult for her. Besides, he did not feel a murderous vibe in her, so she had probably never done anything bad. Philip had no reason to make things difficult for someone who liked to hide and sing. “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I know, but I don’t really know much. I usually stay in my own territory and have no contact with the outside world. Even the other races don't know of my existence.” Rabbit
Philip felt that there was no problem with his hearing. Someone was humming a song, and the tune sounded very strange and spooky in the dark forest. Rabbit frowned and nodded. He also heard the strange sound and was scared. “Who has nothing better to do but to sing here?” Rabbit nervously grabbed the corner of Philip's clothes, afraid that Philip would leave him behind. Philip shook his head. According to the others, no one would come here for no reason. Due to various dangers in the forest, they would only wander around the edge without seeking trouble in the depths. In that case, the abrupt singing voice was very strange, indeed. “Philip, don't be nervous. Stay calm.” Rabbit's voice was trembling. Although Rabbit kept telling Philip to stay calm, he was already freaking out, so scared that he nearly wanted to run away. Philip knew Rabbit’s character, so he did not comment. He simply observed the surroundings and listened carefully to the sound, which was so ethereal tha
Philip took Puffy along and quickly arrived in a forest where the other races usually hunted, so they should not face any danger here. As soon as Philip left, a woman appeared in the corner and looked in the direction where Philip left with a conflicted look on her face. “Should I follow him?” Ariadna had been left behind in the snake people’s village. She had no friends, and no one paid her any attention. Sometimes, they even displayed their ridicule and disdain for her. She did not get good treatment even though she was a junior from the outside world. In desperation, Ariadna decided to follow Philip. Unexpectedly, she saw Philip with a cute kid the next second. Ariadna was surprised to see that Philip had such a big and cute child. “Wait, that kid looks a little weird.” Due to the distance, Ariadna could not see what the kid looked like, but his color and body shape seemed different from that of normal people. After much deliberation, Ariadna decided to tag along, co
“I’ll look around and find out what’s going on. Don’t worry about me. Look for Ronan if anything crops up.” Philip decided to leave Ronan in charge. Ronan did not object. He knew that Philip wanted to train him. He rarely interacted with others, so he had poor social skills. He had improved with Philip’s help, but his skills were still nothing compared to Philip’s subordinates. He was deeply moved by the opportunity that Philip had given him. “Sure enough, heroes will emerge from the youth. You two will have a bright future!” Wren said excitedly. Philip did not comment. After a few pleasantries, he wandered around with Rabbit. Selma and her people had no time for Philip. They finally found their predecessors, so they had many questions to solve. Philip was most interested in getting to the bottom of this mysterious place. It felt more like a cage designed to trap them. It was devoid of rich energy and other resources suitable for them. What was the purpose of the person b
