Branson raised his eyebrows as he looked at Philip in confusion, his eyes filled with surprise. Philip slowly took out his phone, then clicked on a photo before tossing it to Branson. Branson grabbed the phone and took a look! Boom! Branson staggered and slumped weakly into his chair! The thing in the photo was his ledger! Moreover, every single transaction was recorded in his handwriting! How could this be? Why had it fallen into this man’s hands? Branson raised his eyebrows, frowned, and looked at Philip. He then asked with a cold voice, “It’s you?!” Philip shrugged, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and said lightly, “Do you still remember what I just said? Ten minutes and I’ll bring you down. Do you believe it now?” As soon as this sentence was uttered, like a lightning strike, it hit Branson's heart! Pfft! He spat out a mouthful of blood! Branson was furious and completely broke down! Why?! His factories were seized! His mansion was sealed!
With just one sentence, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly tensed! Even the temperature became extremely cold! The leaders from various areas all turned their eyes to Wallace who sat at the end. The head of the four golden phoenixes from Phoenicia! If this was happening a moment earlier, they would all be ready to mock Philip again for being too full of himself! However, now, no one dared to. It was because they had all seen with their own eyes how that Mr. Clarke of Riverdale took less than ten minutes to bring down an epic leader, Branson Wood! It was too shocking! They could hardly fight against such methods. However, among these people, Ken, Yana, Gibson, and Shawn’s expressions had not changed much as they remained in their seats. Even Moses Dunley, who was sitting at the end of the other side, was looking at Philip with great interest. It was only until Philip walked up to him that Wallace raised his eyebrows and glanced coldly at the man before him. He the
Smack! Before Wallace finished speaking, Philip rushed forward and raised his hand for a slap! A head slam! Wallace’s old face flushed red instantly. Standing in front of Wallace, Philip was full of murderous intent. He shouted, “If I want to hit you, I don’t care about your identity!” Wallace was about to explode! After being slapped in the face by a junior time and again, how could he still show his face in Phoenicia in the future? With bloodshot eyes, he stared at Philip and shouted, “Mr. Clarke, are you sure you want to move against me?” Philip was not afraid at all and said, “Excuse me, I’m not going to move against you. I want you dead!” Dead? When everyone heard this word, all of them took a breath of cold air. They finally realized that the previous rumor about Mr. Clarke and Theo’s accident was most likely related to Wallace. Could it be that Wallace was responsible for that matter? Wallace’s face was pale at the moment. He gritted his teeth and roare
Bang, bang, bang! In an instant, all the doors and windows of the entire ancient theater building broke open! Dozens of heavily armed men in black combat uniforms and black berets rushed in! They moved neatly and uniformly, standing at attention. They all raised the assault firearms in their hands with the laser focus aimed at every one of Wallace's subordinates here! “Drop your weapons! Squat down!” “Give up resistance! Squat down!” The scene was spectacular! Everyone was stunned! The combat squad that broke in abruptly astounded everyone! Moreover, they were specially trained combatants. The aura flowing out of them was naturally not comparable to that of Wallace's subordinates! Almost instantly, Wallace's men dropped their shields, hugged their heads, and squatted on the ground! There was no resistance! It was a fool’s errand! Wallace was dumbfounded. He had not expected this situation at all. In the past when two sides came to blows, they used knives and
In less than half an hour, each team replied. “Team one, secured!” “Team two, secured!” “Team 13, secured!” These people who were subdued were not only Wallace's but also those arranged by the big shots who were participating in the underground chamber of commerce tonight! In the ancient theater building, everyone heard Philip's indifferent narrative and was already shocked beyond words! They had become sitting ducks! Terrifying! Who was this Mr. Clarke? He actually employed such inconceivable methods! Philip looked at Wallace nonchalantly and asked, “Boss Phoenix, what are you going to do now?” Wallace was completely disheartened at the moment. He did not expect that the backup plan he had arranged would be taken out by the other party so easily! How many people did he bring? He actually controlled all the people brought by all the leaders? Wallace could not believe it, and neither could everyone else! “Boy, you’re full of bullsh*t! I don't believe it!”
A blatant threat! “You dare?!” “You’re courting death! Do you really think we’re pushovers?” “Let’s join forces! I don’t believe that with the combined forces of more than a dozen leaders in four districts, we can’t destroy this Mr. Clarke!” The scene was on the verge of breakdown! Everyone was a volcano waiting to erupt! This Mr. Clarke was simply too cocky! He actually rendered all the big bosses from four major districts into sitting ducks. Was he going to declare war? Declare war on more than a dozen big bosses? Where did he get the confidence and manpower from? However... A sneer sounded in the hall. Philip’s cold eyes swept over the angry and agitated bosses. This one simple look made everyone who was so angry just a second earlier shut their mouths as their eyes flickered. Too frightening! The look in Philip's eyes was simply terrifying! It was full of unbeatable self-confidence and killing intent! It seemed that as long as he wished for it, eve
Philip smiled faintly, got up, and turned his head to look at the other underground bosses. He asked, “Have you decided?” Those big bosses looked at each other a few times. Some were silent while some shook their heads helplessly. Trapped! There was no way out! They originally wanted to divide Riverdale up between themselves but did not expect to be swept away in the end! There was no way to fight back! How were they supposed to fight this? Even the trump cards were overturned. Following that, Theo’s people brought up copies of the documents and placed them in front of the bosses. These bosses, after a few glances, shook their heads helplessly before picking up the pens and signing their names on the documents! Doomed! Everything was gone! Although they were unwilling, their lives were more important! After signing their names, each leader looked furious. They then threw the pens heavily on the ground, breaking them. After that, they stepped forward in uniso
With loud cracking sounds, Wallace was pressed to the ground. His hands were broken, and he let out a hysterical scream! Big beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead. “Argh! Philip Clarke, you’ll die a horrible death! Miss Clarke won’t let go of you!” Wallace shouted miserably, his face pale. The heart-piercing pain in his arms made him breathless! Wallace Phoenix, a prominent figure in Phoenicia and the head phoenix of the four golden phoenixes, never expected that he would suffer such a catastrophe today! Philip glanced at him indifferently and motioned to his subordinates to continue. At this time... “Stop it!” A soft voice rang out at the front entrance of the ancient theater building! Philip and the others looked up, and at the front door, a beautiful figure stood quietly while emanating chills all over! Rachel Clarke, a woman with beautiful features and clear eyes, walked elegantly toward the crowd with her arms over her chest. She was wearing a black tren
Jamie was surprised by Philip’s easygoing reaction and immediately felt the gap between him and Philip. If Jamie were in Philip’s shoes, he would be worried, but Philip was confident instead. Jamie had a lot to learn from Philip. Jamie had no idea that Philip did not take Dennis seriously at all. Philip had too many capable people under his command. He was not concerned about Dennis at all. In comparison, Dennis could be considered the most useless person under him.… On the other hand, Rabbit arrived at the market. Rabbit was quite famous among the major families by now. As a non-human with a violent temper, he was in the center of attraction wherever he went. Someone tried to kidnap Rabbit once, but not only did he fail, but the person was also beaten badly. To this day, the kidnapper was still bedridden in the hospital. Rabbit’s notorious reputation had spread far and wide, and not just anyone could deal with him. At this time, many storytellers were at the tavern tal
People in seclusion would usually not receive any news from the outside world, so contacting them would be up to luck. Therefore, Lincoln's appearance was good news for the Hexa Guild. Now that the guild was under scrutiny, Lincoln's appearance would save them a lot of trouble. Lincoln stood on the spot, looking at the yard curiously. Philip had modified the yard, so it was full of energy. Any practitioner would feel the difference at once. Jamie and the others had discovered this fact but never asked out of courtesy. Everyone had their own secret. Maybe this was Philip’s secret. Lincoln closed his eyes and felt the abundant energy. He was reluctant to leave this place that contained tens of thousands of times more energy than the place he had chosen for his seclusion. Lincoln felt conflicted. He could practice much faster in this place if the energy level remained the same. Thinking of this, he could hardly contain his excitement to practice on the spot. Seeing Jamie nex
Lincoln had never met a monster beast with intelligence! After taking a closer look at Rabbit, Lincoln had other ideas. Philip was most likely a powerful person with extraordinary strength to have such a powerful monster beast as his pet. Dennis was not a fool. Philip had to be powerful and not a coward for Dennis to willingly follow him. Thinking of this, Lincoln showed Rabbit enough respect. “Mr. Rabbit, I’m looking for Dennis from the Hexa Guild.” The guild members behind him were full of disbelief at his courtesy. They had served him for a while and knew his character very well. Lincoln would never be so polite to ordinary juniors, so this rabbit had to be unusual. Thinking of this, their attitude toward Rabbit changed from disdain to admiration. Rabbit was shocked by their eccentric behavior and looked at them skeptically. Seeing their smiling faces, Rabbit decided not to make things difficult for them. Besides, they were polite. “Oh, you’re looking for Dennis. Come
This guild member could not forget how Hogster had always stolen his resources by force. Hogster’s ugly face made him sick. Although Lincoln was back, he had lost all confidence in the guild. He just wanted to return to Dennis' side as soon as possible. Although he was a member under the guild leader, Dennis was the one who had been helping him all along. In fact, if not for Dennis’ support over the years, even Alain would not have achieved what he had today. Hence, this guild member had always been grateful to Dennis. When Dennis left, he wanted to leave with him, but due to special circumstances, he stayed until now. Unexpectedly, it came in handy. Alain was excited to hear that. In Alain's opinion, such a lowly member would not dare to lie to him, so he had to be telling the truth. He knew that this was his chance to settle everything once and for all. Alain had been worried that Lincoln would blame him, but Lincoln was deceived instead, which was great. He had nothing t
Lincoln had a very good reputation, so the guild members dropped their guard and started to complain about everything. “Grandmaster, we've been having a hard time. Hogster always deducts our practice resources and gives them to the women he likes. It’s infuriating. We don’t even have that many resources to begin with,” a member said miserably. He had good talent, but Hogster did not give him any good resources, so his level remained stagnant. All his resources had been given to the women who had caught Hogster’s fancy. Lincoln scowled upon hearing this. How could Hogster take other people’s resources? He would not allow this to happen. “They also tried every means to arrange a political marriage with the Celestial Palace, but the agreement fell through, and they badmouthed the other party for it!” “They defamed the young lady of the guild, and now, they're furious at us. Their wrath is not a joke. Moreover, someone solved the side effects of their practice technique, but we'v
If Philip was at fault, Lincoln had nothing to say. However, if Hogster was the one who had caused all the trouble, he would not spare them. “I’ll get to the bottom of this. Now, tell me what’s going on with Dennis. Based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't betray the guild for no reason. He must have a reason for doing this!” Neither of them could explain what happened to Dennis. They could only say that humans were fickle. After all, they could not figure it out either. The person at fault would never admit their fault. Alain did not think that he was biased or thought that what he had done was excessive. He simply thought that Dennis looked down on him, which was why he decided to leave. Now that he was gone, Alain could say whatever he wanted, and Dennis could not defend himself. Thinking of this, Alain was very excited. He began to defame Dennis and shifted the attention away from him and his son. Lincoln scowled as he listened. Then, he returned to his room and summ
Alain was helpless. Although he had a lot to say, he could not do anything in front of Lincoln. Lincoln was stronger than him in every aspect, a force to be reckoned with. He was not someone Alain could deal with. Alain looked at Lincoln awkwardly. He wanted to appease his anger but did not know what to say. “You need to explain this to me. Why did Dennis leave? And I want to know why the guild’s reputation has become so bad. Did you do something wrong?”Lincoln heard that Dennis had been expelled and could no longer stay in the guild. Many people supported Dennis, so they were upset with Alain and tried to defame him. Hearing that, Alain knew that someone must have been talking behind his back, but he did not dare to lose his temper. He forced a smile and looked at Lincoln in a flattering manner. Before he could find an excuse, Hogster rushed over excitedly and said to his father, “Father, guess what I did to Philip? Hehe!” Hogster recounted his handiwork smugly without p
It had been years since the grandmaster went into seclusion for practice. He was not concerned about power. He once mentioned that he would not leave his seclusion unless he reached the top. Hence, no one expected to see him. “Grandmaster, you appeared at the right time. We would've been in trouble if you didn't come out!” “That’s right. Everyone is bullying us. Now that you’re out, you can help us.” Everyone complained about their grievances, feeling sorry for themselves. The Hexa Guild was in trouble, and they faced various problems too. All the major guilds were keeping a close eye on the Hexa Guild, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. The Celestial Palace planned to destroy the Hexa Guild instead of letting them off. They could not accept the initial setup, so they decided to erase the Hexa Guild from existence. Hence, the Hexa Guild had been under great pressure, with the members wishing that someone could help them. Unexpectedly, a strong expert appeared.
Ronan was his buddy, and his wife's reputation was at stake. Philip could not stand idly by. He had to help. Jamie was very fast at ordering his people to make the matter public. No one expected another dramatic turn of events. Everyone thought that the young lady of the Celestial Palace was an unchaste woman for making that decision. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Palace found a way to solve the side effects of their technique. All the major guilds were in trepidation. Although the Celestial Palace’s technique was very powerful, the side effects reduced its allure. Now that that problem was solved, everything was different. On top of that, the holy maiden and other members of the guild showed their appearance in public. Regardless of gender, everyone was beautiful without any markings on their faces. After seeing this scene, everyone knew that the Celestial Palace was about to make a comeback. Carlos was very excited and thought that Vanna was a lucky star to bring so many
