Just at this moment, the door of the operating room was pushed open. The chief surgeon donned in a sterile surgical gown walked out. His eyes that could be seen behind his mask revealed traces of displeasure. He asked, “What's the matter? It's so noisy. Has the family member decided yet? Are we saving the mother or the child?” “Jack Quentin!” At this time, the old woman shouted in a cold voice. In an instant, the chief surgeon glanced at the old woman who stood aside. Suddenly! The other party was stunned! “Teacher?” Jack could not believe his eyes! He took off his mask in surprise, his face full of excitement! He did not expect to see his teacher again after 12 years! Beatrice’s face was cold. She glanced at Jack who was excited and said, “There’s no time to explain. I’ll do it.” Jack understood in an instant and glanced at Philip who was standing aside. Professor Swann was here for him? This young man could actually hire his teacher? However, Jack only too
Beatrice took off her mask. She was sweating on her head and looked a little tired. She glanced at Henry, nodded, and said to Philip, “The patient is suffering from acute bleeding and must be kept under observation. However, your wife is very strong. In such a severe situation, she still protected the fetus desperately. She’s a great woman. The fetus is temporarily saved, but the danger is still there. The next few days will be very critical. If she bleeds again, we might not be able to keep it.” The big rock in Philip’s heart finally fell. He looked at Wynn who was being pushed out of the operating room, his heart full of regret and self-blame. Philip rushed over, grabbing Wynn's cold and slender hand. He stroked her forehead and whispered, “Wynnie, I’m back.” Wynn squinted, looked very tired and in pain. She smiled slightly at the corners of her mouth and said weakly, “Baby… is fine.” In the intensive care unit, Philip held Wynn's little hand tightly and just sat like that.
Jack naturally understood and said, “Teacher, it’s really difficult to raise funds, but I know some friends. I might be able to contact them to ask if anyone is willing to invest.” Beatrice’s eyes lit up and said, “Great! We need patriots like you! Jack, as long as the institute is established, I’ll recommend you to be the first batch of medical researchers to enter the institute!” Jack said gratefully, “Thank you, Teacher.” After that, he was about to dial the phone numbers of some business owners he knew. It was also at this time that Philip stepped forward and asked, “How much needs to be raised?” After asking this question, both Beatrice and Jack looked at Philip dubiously. As far as Beatrice knew, Philip had already invested billions in helping Henry’s cardiology department. Was he going to invest in the comprehensive research institute now? Impossible! This was simply not the kind of financial support that could be given by one person! Moreover, the research pla
Ten… Ten billion? Instantly, everyone was stunned! Jack looked at Philip dumbfounded. From his expression, he could not read any deception.Was he telling the truth?How could it be? Ten billion! Was he crazy? Who could have so much money? Anyone who could simply invest 10 billion in the development of a research institute must have tens of billions of funds! Would such a person be unknown? However, when did Riverdale produce such a character? Jack had never heard of it! He had never seen a rich man like Philip! Therefore, he immediately sneered and mocked, “What did you say? Ten billion? Young man, you’re overly pretentious. It’s a good thing to be grateful to our Professor Swann, but it’s not good for you to talk nonsense like this.” He refused to believe that a guy like Philip could spend ten billion! Even if he had some wealth, it would be a million to ten million at most. Ten billion? Ludicrous! Beatrice was also taken aback. When she heard the nu
If he could not come up with ten billion, just reduce it to 100 million? Did he really think that money fell from the sky? He could come up with 100 million just like that? Beatrice also shook her head helplessly and said, “Mr. Clarke, I know you really want to support this project, but if it doesn't work out, we don't have to force it. We will find a way.” However, Philip was unperturbed and continued to dial another number. “Buffer, transfer ten billion to…” Philip turned to Beatrice and asked, “Do you have a bank account?” Beatrice was startled in puzzlement. However, Henry stepped forward and recited the bank account information. Soon, Philip hung up the phone and said to Beatrice casually, “Professor Swann, the money has already been transferred. You can check it later.” It was transferred? Beatrice’s face was full of disbelief. Jack sneered and mocked, “Young man, aren’t you done pretending yet?” He said this with a tone full of dissatisfaction. Was this g
Phoenix Pavilion, Phoenicia. The four Phoenix brothers were gathered together at the moment, wining and dining merrily. “Wallace, since Mr. Clarke and Theo are dead, the underground chamber of commerce this time will be different. When the time comes, a big piece of cake like Riverdale will definitely be popular.” The fourth brother, Gerald Phoenix, held the red wine in his hand. His face was full of joy. “In my opinion, we did a big favor to those people in the South River District. We’ll score a piece of this cake,” the third brother, Harvey, said. Only the second brother, Jerome, with bandages on his hands and accompanied by a special nurse, asked in a deep voice, “Wallace, what do you think?” Wallace stood in front of the large French window with his hands behind his back, looking at the darkening sky in Phoenicia, After a brief silence, he said, “Don't intervene in the affairs of the underground chamber of commerce for the time being. Let those big bosses fight it ou
At the same time at Fenix Hotel and Restaurant in Ken Cooke’s suite. Yana sat on the sofa with a vague look of joy on her face and said, “Master Ken, you’ve also received the news, right?” Ken put his hands in the pockets of his suit trousers and stood in front of the window, looking far away. His thoughts were unknown. He said, “I received it. Something happened to Theo and that Mr. Clarke.” “This is good news for us,” Yana said. Ken shook his head and turned around, looking at Yana with a profound look. He asked, “Do you think this news is reliable?” Yana shook her head and said, “No.” “Why not?” Ken asked and sat opposite Yana. Yana got up, stepped forward, and walked to the wine rack to pour two glasses of red wine. She said, “Because Bowen Roy’s people are all gathered in the north of Phoenicia and haven’t moved a single step.” Bowen Roy! When Ken heard this name, his heart suddenly tightened. Yes. Bowen had supposedly joined that Mr. Clarke, but now that t
The city was full of volatility. On this night, Phoenicia was very lively. There were twice as many people on the streets than usual. The underground chamber of commerce was taking place ahead of schedule tonight at an ancient building in Phoenicia. It was a theater lobby. It was an ancient theater that had been handed down ages ago. The place had carved beams, red tiles, and lamps hanging everywhere—making it seem extremely lively. At this time, the ancient theater building was heavily guarded both inside and outside. An endless stream of various luxury cars drove in from the gates of the building and stopped on the red carpet in front of the main entrance of the theater. From inside the cars, glamorously dressed prominent figures walked down one after another, accompanied by their female companions. They entered the venue one by one! To the outside world, these people were infamous leaders in their respective areas! Big bosses in their own rights! Tonight, they we
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
