"Last time, that Lynn you mentioned was pretty good. She’s so full of life. I also brought her over this time and the guest appointed her to accompany them," Nino said with a lustful tone. "Hearing from you, she also has a cousin. Wynn something? She’s a famous beauty in our city, a young married woman. Bring her here too. Maybe the guests will like her too. Two sisters... Surely there will be interest."Dick immediately understood and replied, “Master Nino, don't worry. That little girl owes us 100,000 dollars. I heard her cousin is also short on money for her daughter’s surgery recently.""Very good. Do it now." Master Nino laughed.Philip frowned. He thought that only Lynn was involved with this. Unexpectedly, they wanted to drag Wynn into this matter as well!Then, they should not blame him for being rude!As such, Philip did not leave. He stopped, turned around, and walked to Nino with a cold expression on his face."I say, what's the problem? Why haven't you handled this ki
Theo quickly said, “I’ll be there right away, Mr. Clarke.”Once he hung up, Theo took a sharp intake of breath. He was somewhat nervous and even a bit panicked.Did Nino Gil get on Mr. Clarke’s bad side?Well, he had it coming!Over the years, Theo had long since gotten fed up with Nino. The latter was too meddlesome for his own good.Besides, Nino had grown unhappy with his lot too. He was already pulling all sorts of strings in secret to mess with Theo’s territory.Theo just let it slide so far because both of them came from equally powerful backgrounds. Any wars between them should be fought in secret, or so Theo thought.Today, though, Nino had clearly poked the hornets’ nest.In that case, Theo figured, why not give him an extra push for good measure? That way, he could put an end to Nino for good.With that in mind, Theo immediately made a phone call.In the blink of an eye, at least a dozen people leaped to action as a result of that call!All of them were Theo’s clos
The air in the bar right now was eerily cold and heavy.All of a sudden!One of Nino’s lackeys ran over to his boss and whispered into Nino’s ear, “Master Nino, Mr. Thomas’ secretary, Mr. Thane is here. He says he needs to meet you urgently.”“Mr. Thane?” Nino immediately leaped to his feet, beside himself with excitement. “What are you waiting for? Let’s go greet Mr. Thane!”His lackeys opened a path in front of him.Nino was clearly exhilarated. After all, that was the Mr. Julian Thane, chief secretary to the richest man in the city, George Thomas.It was quite the honor to have him here on Nino’s turf!There was a saying in Riverdale. Where Mr. Thane went, there went George Thomas’s will.However…Before Nino could approach Julian, the latter had already walked into the bar with the young blonde-haired, blue-eyed secretary in tow.Who would dare stand in his way?“Oh my, Mr. Thane! It’s been such a long time, how rare to see you here! What winds of fortune blew you here
Nino’s expression changed. Having plied in this trade for so many years, he had seen people from all walks of life. He knew them all.Today, however, he felt as though he was facing a completely unfathomable enemy.Philip’s aura was just too unique. It exerted a pressure on Nino unlike any other.It was almost as though this plain-looking man had a very exceptional background.,No, not almost. He definitely did!That was the feeling Nino got from Philip after he spoke earlier.Still, Nino was no spineless coward himself. He chuckled twice coldly and said, “Are you sure you want to go against me, Master Clarke? Yes, Mr. Thane is here, but don’t forget, I’m a leader of the Riverdale underworld. No matter how much power Mr. Thane’s boss has, he might want to reconsider before he removes me.”That was right. Nino was talking about George Thomas.The way he saw it, Philip was only acting so bold now because he had the support of George Thomas’s money and reputation.If they really
Impressive scene, was it not?However, that was not the full extent of it yet!It happened out of nowhere!Suddenly, there were a few loud crashes in the bar!Seven or eight people came flying out of the corridors on either side of the entrance!They were all Nino’s men!A group of brawlers dressed in black suits surged into the main hall of the bar!Leading the pack was none other than Tiger Zander, with his well-built body and an air of violence about him!All by himself, he faced off against a dozen thugs, all armed with bats!These men were the ones Nino had tasked with guarding the door.When faced with Tiger, though, none of them stood a chance. They were all beaten flat onto the floor!Nino looked furious when he heard the commotion. He glared at the door and saw Theo walk out from behind the crowd slowly, wearing a smile that seriously ticked him off.“Zander! What are you up to? This is my turf! Why did you bring so many of your men here?!”Nino was beside himself
Master Zach.The power and authority he wielded were beyond the imagination!Even Nino, to this day, had no idea just how far Master Zach's influence spread.Once, Master Zach showed Nino just a tiny hint of what he could do, and that was enough to make Nino respect and follow him with all his heart.There was an A-list celebrity named Elsa Jordan. She was practically a goddess to legions of fans, and she had a lot of say in the world of showbiz as well. Plenty of famous directors and entrepreneurs gave her the best seat at their tables.Even someone like had to keep a careful smile on her face when she spoke to Master Zach back then.Apparently, Master Zach had relationships with many female celebrities in showbiz. There were all sorts of rumors and unwritten rules around him.The internet was rife with them.So what happened in the end? Old Master Zach just had one thing to say. “If anyone has anything more to say, I’ll deal with you myself!”Every bad rumor about Master Zac
Caleb was by nature smug and intolerably haughty.All his life, he never once feared anyone. He was quite the classic spoiled rich kid.Unfortunately, however, in his twenty-odd years of life, there was only one person who ever scared him. Just one!That man!The man who had become his nightmare!Proud?Haughty?No one in this world could be prouder or haughtier than that man, Philip Clarke!Caleb still remembered how, so many years ago, that man had come to the capital city with an entourage of special clearance vehicles clearing the traffic for him!Crazy, right?Yet it was true!It was all because Philip had waved his hand and casually said that he would gift the special forces with some cutting-edge military equipment and techniques from abroad. Just like that, those high-ranking officials flooded the hotel Philip was staying in.Back then, Caleb was still young. His family was rich and powerful, so he did not think twice about offending Philip.Where did that land him
Wynn was at the hospital, asking everyone she could find if they knew any famous doctors or could lend her any money.It was all to no avail, though. Her classmates left her in the wind at times like these. Even her close friends were nowhere to be seen.After all, they were scared.They knew that she had a useless husband. Who would lend money to a household like that? They would never see the money back again.While Wynn was feeling sorry for herself, her phone rang with a notification. It was from her cousin, Lynn. She tapped on it and saw that it was a video, plus a voice message. Before she clicked on the video, she tapped on the voice note first. Lynn's somewhat panicked voice came across the speakers. "W… Wynn, did you see the video? Do you know what your husband does for a living?"Wynn frowned her pretty brows slightly. She did not really understand what Lynn meant, so she clicked on the video. The video was crystal clear. It was obviously Philip!Fancy
“You’re right. The mermaid is such a mysterious creature. How can anyone cure its poison?” Stanley smiled wryly, feeling sorry for himself. “Philip, you have to find a way to save my father. I’ll do anything for you if you can save him!” Yule grabbed Philip’s shoulders with agitation. He begged Philip and almost knelt at his feet. In Yule's opinion, Philip was an omnipotent and powerful existence. There was nothing he could not do. Likewise, Aslan and the others shared the same thought. Therefore, they were surprised when Philip said that he could not save Stanley. Philip sighed. In the past, he had been to places of a lower civilization where the natives were not very strong. He could do whatever he wanted and no one could do much to him even if they wanted to. However, Philip was not familiar with places of a higher civilization. Even Rabbit only knew a little and was hesitant to speak. Hence, Philip was not confident he could save Stanley. “Maybe that creature came fro
“Let’s stop making wild guesses and wait for Yule's father to explain. This creature doesn’t belong to this continent, so no one knows what’s going on.” Philip reached out and gently touched the scales in amazement. He felt that something was wrong with this mermaid. With that touch, he found that the mermaid’s scales were better than those of a dragon. Philip once found a dragon scale by chance, but the dragon scale was not as tough as the mermaid's scales. Moreover, the mermaid's scales could change into various shapes, which was amazing. “If the scales are used to make a weapon, it’ll definitely be the best treasure. Not only can it attack and defend, but also…” Before Philip could finish his words, he heard Yule's father coughing violently. He seemed in pretty bad shape. “Rascal, go and look at the fish. She’s not an ordinary fish but a mermaid I found by chance! According to ancient records, there are many similar creatures in the world of the gods, and they're a force
Almost everyone knew about the condition of Yule's father, and most of them were there to watch the fun. When Yule and the others appeared, some people could not wait to start taunting him. “Oh, you’re such a good son. Your father is already in this state, but you’re still in the mood to fool around outside. You should start preparing for your father’s wake!” “The miracle doctor has given a diagnosis, saying that your father has only a few more days to live. Stop wasting time and start preparing for the funeral!” Everyone mocked Yule, who was respected simply because of his father’s position. Now that Yule's father was dying, no one wanted to show him that respect anymore. Some people even planned to steal things from Yule’s house! With no one else to back him up, everyone thought that Yule did not deserve to stay in that luxurious house anymore. Hearing everyone’s taunts, Yule was so angry that he trembled all over, but now was no time to argue. He had to find out his fath
Very soon, everyone left the King’s Ruins. Philip had taken care of the danger, so they just had to collect the treasures. Yule and his team were grateful to Philip and flattered him along the way. After all, they would not have been able to leave the place alive so easily if not for Philip. The King’s Ruins were still dangerous even though they did not face any monsters head-on. They knew they managed to avoid most dangers because of Philip. At this moment, Yule’s communicator vibrated. Only his close family members had his contact, so Yule immediately felt a bad premonition. He walked to the corner with the communicator and spoke anxiously. It seemed that he had encountered some big trouble. Philip waited for Yule to return to the team without a word. Ten minutes later, Yule returned to the team. He looked very depressed as if he had encountered a big problem. Philip noticed his reaction but did not take the initiative to approach him. He knew that Yule would approach h
“Philip, look, I solved half the problem for you. The rest is up to you.” After saying this, Yule laughed triumphantly, blatantly disregarding Mason’s cold glare. Mason frowned and looked at Philip with apprehension. He could not verify Philip’s story, but if Philip was telling the truth, he would have lost the bet again. “Get out of our sight. We've wasted a lot of time because of you. Don't blame us for attacking you if you stay here any longer!” Aslan had a hot temper and kicked Mason when he noticed Mason's hesitance. Mason fell to the ground miserably and looked at Philip with murderous intent. “Let’s go and stop wasting our time here!” After saying this, Mason took the lead and ran away, unwilling to stay here a second longer. Philip’s strong power deterred him greatly, and Philip was not afraid of Sienna at all, which crushed Mason’s final confidence. Mason was best at using other people’s influence, but it was on the premise that others were willing to bow down to
Mason frowned at Aslan but did not respond. Philip said, “This guy has become Sienna’s underling. He’s here to find the Binary Herb for Sienna, which coincides with our purpose. Now, he wants me to hand it over or he’ll ask Sienna to kill me. I’m very scared,” Philip said sarcastically and could hardly contain his laughter. Hearing that, everyone was startled before bursting into laughter. They had been with Philip through thick and thin, so they knew who Sienna was. “No way, this guy is using Sienna to threaten Philip. Is he kidding?” “I’m sure he’ll be scared out of his wits if he finds out what really happened. This is ridiculous.” Philip’s men scoffed at Mason’s arrogance. Yule’s men were puzzled, wondering what was going on. “Before this, Philip almost killed a snake monster named Sienna. Unexpectedly, the snake monster escaped and found herself a human servant. On top of that, this human servant thinks so highly of himself as if he's very proud of his identity.” L
“Go and grab that thing for me. We have to get hold of it! Don’t let that guy steal our treasure. And remember to find the thing I want!” Mason ordered his men in a panic. Mason was startled by Philip’s speed of collecting things. Everyone quickly sprang into action. They were not fools. They would be penalized if they did not get things done. They raced against time to grab the treasures from Philip, but Philip was unfazed. He knew that all the treasures would fall into his hands in the end. Besides, the piles of treasures simply contained some pills and other stuff, nothing much. “Sir, we didn’t find the Binary Herb.” At this time, someone stepped forward to report their findings. Everyone was anxious when they realized they could not find the most important Binary Herb. Mason scowled at the bad news. “Impossible. The Binary Herb must be around somewhere.” The location of the Binary Herb was marked on his map. It had to be nearby. Mason looked around with the map
“Of course, an ignorant guy like you wouldn’t know what’s going on. This place is full of danger and had a powerful monster as a guardian. You don’t know anything because you’re unworthy.” Mason jerked his chin smugly, clearly proud that he knew some inside information. “If you beg me, I’ll consider going with you to deal with this monster.” In Mason’s opinion, Philip was no match for this monster. The bloodstains had to be from some weak monsters killed by Philip. According to his understanding, the legendary guardian snake monster was very powerful, not something ordinary people could deal with. “Don't you know why you’re here?” Philip said smugly. He knew that Mason was nothing but a pawn. Philip had seen through everything and was full of scorn for Mason’s nature. Mason was horrified that Philip knew him so well. “How did you know? I've been keeping this secret very well. No one should know about it. Did that snake woman tell you? That's impossible. She hates you very
Seeing this scene, Rabbit applauded excitedly. “You must be dreaming if you think you can fight Philip!” Rabbit said excitedly. Philip quickly killed the snake. He was surprised to find that the snake only had half of its body. He thought half of the snake was trapped in the stone, but it only had half a body left. “Did it grow from the stone?” Rabbit was shocked, wondering what was going on. “Something is wrong with this monster beast. It’s actually growing from the stone. How strange!” Philip was surprised by the strange discovery. “Indeed. It looks very strange, not like a good guy at all.” Rabbit was horrified and felt that the snake was more than met the eye. “Philip, look at this. Is it a description of this monster beast?” Rabbit looked at a huge stone tablet on the side in puzzlement. “Philip, look, I think this snake has something to do with that snake woman!” Rabbit was surprised to see what was written on the stone tablet and pulled Philip over for a look. The
