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
This… This was too forceful! Did he not know of Miss Clarke’s background? Was he just blatantly disregarding her? If it was the latter, then this Mr. Clarke was simply too arrogant! Rachel twisted her eyebrows and stared at Philip. After a long time, she said calmly, “Your face seems familiar to me, but I can't recall. Have we met before?” “Miss Clarke, he’s that Mr. Clarke who snatched the jade and gold phoenix from the last auction!” Wallace was being supported by someone as he shouted. “Oh, it’s Mr. Clarke. I’ve heard of you.” Rachel nodded slightly, showing a very intrigued expression. However... Philip shook his head faintly and smiled slightly, “Miss Clarke, are you deliberately pretending not to know me? Could it be that you’ve forgotten about the time we were in the same changing room together?” It was a slap to her face! Philip had exposed the incident from back then. Rachel trembled on the spot. Frowning, she gritted her teeth and stared at Philip fi
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
After reading the letter, Alain trembled in anger, shocked that two of his strongest members would choose to leave the guild at such a critical time. Their departure was no joke. The guild could lose the guild competition at any minute! Dennis and Louis were very strong and could hold down the fort in the competition. With their departure, Alain would have fewer people to count on, and things might end up a mess. He was furious about their abrupt departure. “I need to capture Dennis. How dare he betray us?!” Alain was very upset. As a traitor, Dennis had to be dealt with. The news quickly spread, and many members found out that Dennis had chosen to leave the guild. The other elders also wondered what they should do. They knew that Dennis was a smart man and was good at judging the situation. Choosing to leave was a sign of a change to come. Everyone had their own thoughts and a rough guess about what was going on. Alain's actions not only caused an uproar but also made
A young man about the same age as him was so talented. Could anyone not be jealous? However, Louis was truly not jealous. He just wanted to learn from Philip. If Philip was really that strong, he would obey. Although Louis had a high status in the guild, he was not highly valued. That useless loser was given priority when it came to most of the resources, which made Louis upset. By right, resources should be allocated to talented people, but things were different because Hogster had a guild leader for a father. Thinking of this, Louis smiled at Philip expectantly. If Philip was worth following, he would leave the Hexa Guild without hesitation. “I want to apologize for offending you earlier. I also want to follow you, but I don’t know if I’m good enough. If you won’t consider me, I hope you can give my son a chance. He’s pretty talented.” Dennis was very polite as he apologized to Philip. Philip was surprised and thought that Dennis was quite nice. Philip invited them insi
Dennis and Louis quickly arrived at the door and knocked nervously. Rabbit opened the door this time. He did not expect to see Dennis again. He thought Dennis was here to cause trouble, so he scowled. “Why are you here again, old man? Do you want to cause more trouble for us? You’d better think twice or I’m going to get angry!” Rabbit said fiercely. Rabbit easily crushed them earlier, so they would not forget about their miserable defeat so quickly. Louis was embarrassed to hear that this rabbit had defeated his father. He had always thought that Dennis was very powerful and would not lose to a younger person no matter what. Unexpectedly, Dennis was not only defeated but lost miserably too. Louis keenly perceived that this talking rabbit was Philip’s pet and became excited. If Philip's pet was so powerful, Philip should be better. Thinking of this, he was excited and wanted to see Philip immediately. Rabbit stared at Dennis and Louis, wondering what they were up to. Denni
Celeste was surprised to see that Esther had restored her appearance. She had just seen Esther wearing a veil to cover her ugly face when they first met earlier. “Amazing! You look beautiful all of a sudden,” Celeste praised Esther from the bottom of her heart. Celeste did not know how it happened, but there had to be a reason for it. Esther smiled at Celeste. “Now that I’m beautiful, I can fully focus on taking care of Philip. Don’t worry, I won’t be worse than you.” Hearing that, Celeste was puzzled by Esther’s aggression. While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, an uninvited guest turned up at the door. It was none other than Dennis of the Hexa Guild. Dennis was not alone as he had brought his son along with him. His son was quite talented and always listened to his father's opinions. After all, he knew that he would not be where he was without his father’s guidance, and most of his father’s decisions were correct. “Father, are you sure we should leave the guild
Esther never thought that her curse could be lifted so quickly. More importantly, Esther found that all the negative energy in her body had disappeared. She took off her veil and looked at them with her true appearance. Esther was beautiful by nature, but the nasty technique had impacted her self-esteem. Now that she had regained her appearance, Esther’s confidence returned as well. “Wonderful! This technique is the perfect improved version! With this technique, our members can practice like any normal person without worrying about their appearance. Other guilds can’t kick a fuss over it or try to mess with us again!” Jamie was ecstatic and abruptly remembered a very important question. “By the way, what’s the deal with this technique? Did someone give it to you?” Jamie had to get to the bottom of it. It was very important. He would be uneasy if he did not figure out the situation. “Philip gave it to me. I don't know how he got our technique, but he’s quite good at studying
