Smack! Ulrich rushed over at this moment and slapped Lynn’s face, knocking her directly to the ground. Then, he yelled at Lynn angrily, “B*tch! It’s how much I say it is! How long has it been since you borrowed the money? Isn’t the interest counted as money too? Do you think I’m running a charity?!” Wynn hurriedly ran over and pulled Lynn up while glaring at Ulrich angrily. She said, “Mr. Craig, how can you hit people so casually?!” Lynn cried and hid behind Wynn, saying, “Wynn, I really didn't borrow that much money. They’re lying! This is extortion!” Wynn nodded and comforted Lynn, saying, “Don’t worry, I’m here. Everything will be fine.” Ulrich looked at this moving scene and sneered ruthlessly, “Madam Johnston, the relationship between you and your cousin is very touching. But your cousin owes me this much money. This is the contract which she has signed.” Ulrich’s eyes lingered on Wynn and Lynn. What a beautiful pair of sisters. Especially Wynn, who was such a su
At the same time at the entrance of Golding Finance Limited. Philip and Theo’s men had arrived. Philip was anxious. He opened the door and rushed in. Theo and his men followed closely behind. Philip barged into the company, but before he even entered, he was stopped by a few security guards at the gate! These people were Ulrich’s henchmen, specially hired to prevent people from making trouble. “F*ck! Stop right there!” Seeing Philip about to break in, one of the men with a scar on the corner of his eyebrow threw away his cigarette butt and suddenly roared. “Get lost!” Philip did not want to waste time with these small shrimps, so he yelled at them. Scarface pointed at Philip’s nose and yelled, “Damn it, you’re an arrogant kid! Are you looking for death? Do you know where this is?” With a layer of frost on Philip's face and anger in his eyes, he shouted, “I'll say it again! Get lost!” He was very anxious now. If something happened to Wynn because of this delay, t
“Master Theo, why are you here? Are you here to look for Mr. Craig?” Scarface, who was the leader, said flatteringly as he looked at Theo while trembling. Theo could not be bothered with these gangsters. He did not even look at them directly before shouting coldly, “If you don’t want to die, get lost! Tell Ulrich Craig to get out here right now!” Scarface wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with one hand and gulped nervously. The other thugs also looked panicked. Theo’s demeanor was too strong! For hooligans like them, who had not heard of Theo’s fame?! Just by standing there, they could already feel the intense pressure from Theo! “Master Theo, I’m sorry, but Mr. Craig is meeting with some distinguished guests right now. We have been given orders not to disturb him. Maybe… you can come back tomorrow?” Slap, slap! As soon as Scarface’s words fell, Theo’s big hands went up and slapped his face back and forth! Who was Theo Zander? The underground boss of Riverd
“Hahaha, Madam Johnston, at this point, are you still joking with me? To tell you the truth, this set-up today was done specially for your husband!” Ulrich’s face was full of sinister smiles as he continued pressing on Wynn's shoulders. He was about to bite Wynn’s neck. Wynn quickly dodged as tears fell from her eyes. She hated herself for being so naive. She obviously knew that Ulrich was not a good person, yet she came alone, wanting to take Lynn away. Now that she had fallen into his hands, was she going to be ruined in the hands of a man like this? Thinking about it, tears came streaming from the corner of Wynn's eyes. She cried out, “Philip, save me! Ah, let go of me!” The more Wynn cried, the more excited Ulrich became! On the other side, Lynn, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead at the moment, looked at the scene on the sofa with half-closed eyes. She swallowed her chokes and trembled all over. She wanted to help Wynn but was too scared. She was
That minion, with a bruised and swollen face, sneered, “A trash like you wants to see Mr. Craig? Go to hell!” Bam! His reply was another kick from Philip! The kick landed directly on his chest. He flew out several yards, hitting the wall pillar. Just like that, he fainted! At this moment, the hall was stirred by a chill and murderous aura! Theo followed behind Philip. With just one glance, Theo already knew that Philip was livid. The murderous aura radiating from his body was exactly the same as when he was in the underground chamber of commerce! Upon seeing this, Theo also panicked for fear that Philip would demolish this place! This Ulrich Craig was truly capable of causing trouble. Was it not enough to stay alive? He had to provoke Philip and capture Wynn and Lynn. “Oh, isn’t this Master Theo Zander? How did you have the time to visit this small place of mine?” Ulrich was standing on the stairs at the moment. He forced a friendly smile on his sinister face and w
“Ulrich Craig, I’m warning you one last time! Release them!” Theo was completely furious. His face was chilly while his majesty and aura as the underground king rose. This Ulrich Craig was disrespecting him! No matter what, Theo was a prominent figure in Riverdale. Even if Ulrich was from out of town, he should at least understand the rules! “Haha, Theo, I know your position in Riverdale is impressive. But don’t forget, I have a big boss behind me. I’m not afraid of you! Today, you brought so many people with you and barged into my territory. This is an open provocation! If I end you here today, you can only blame your bad luck!” Ulrich glared fiercely and waved his hand! In an instant, ten or so minions behind him and those from the entrance side doors of the company rushed in. They completely surrounded Theo and Philip’s group! They brought weapons! Theo glanced at Philip and found that the latter's face was already gloomy. This showed that Philip was about to erupt
Flint immediately laughed and said sarcastically, “Damn, you’re such an idiot! What are you talking about, mentioning my second uncle? Do you know him? Do you know what he does? Even if you know his name, do you think I’ll be scared of you?” Flint smiled, his face cold and cruel. This wimp actually knew his second uncle’s name. Interesting. “My second uncle is the Second Master of the Hull family! He’s my father's younger brother! My second uncle handles half of the affairs of the Hull family's subsidiary, and there are hundreds of Hull family disciples under him! You should find out what kind of person my second uncle is. He’s an existence that thousands of people admire wherever he goes!” When Flint said this, he looked proud. What he wanted most in his life was to be a great hero like his second uncle! He was not interested in being a businessman like his father. The Hull Chamber of Commerce had always dabbled in civil and military affairs. Flint’s father was a lit
In a blink of an eye, all of Ulrich's people, including those brought by Flint, were almost down. One of Theo’s subordinates rushed over and said directly to Philip, “Mr. Clarke, we found the lady. She’s in the basement!” When Philip heard this, he ignored Flint and Ulrich and walked directly to the basement. “Tiger, take someone along and protect Mr. Clarke,” Theo said. “Yes, Theo.” Tiger nodded in response, then led a dozen or so skilled bodyguards to the basement following Philip. The man was walking in front of him, his pace showing that he was in a hurry. When he reached the basement, Philip kicked the door open and saw Wynn and Lynn locked inside. There were also another three minions inside. Philip saw that Wynn’s clothes were torn and her face was horrified. He felt distressed and angry at the same time! The three minions still attempted to rush over, and as a result, they were knocked to the ground by Philip one after another. They could not get up at all!
The other party simply looked at Loony indifferently without responding. Suddenly, Philip’s ear wiggled. He heard something. “Eat this. Someone's coming.” Philip stuffed a pill into Loony's mouth and pulled him into a corner to hide. He heard someone coming from the depths of the cellar. The man who spoke to them heard the movement and shut his mouth. The other prisoners remained silent as well. At this time, a familiar person appeared in front of Philip. It was none other than Brett. This Brett was different from the Brett Philip knew. This one looked sinister and cunning. Philip recalled the Brett he met yesterday. He was elegant and seemed like a trustworthy man at a glance. He was shocked to see this difference in just one day. “I’m ready to create my second human puppet. Does anyone want to volunteer your body?” Brett said with a vicious smile. In everyone’s eyes, he looked no different from the devil. “I have a special preference for humans. In that case, I’ll
“That must be it. Let’s take a look.” Philip pointed to the entrance of the cellar, and Loony shook his head in fear. “I have some knowledge of geomancy, and my gut is telling me that we should avoid that place. We may easily lose our lives there.” The cellar entrance looked very scary, so he refused to step inside. Philip could not be bothered. They were very close to finding the truth. They might miss the opportunity forever if they gave up right now. Hence, Philip dragged Loony into the cellar. Before Loony knew what was going on, he felt his vision go black, and he appeared in the cellar in the next second. He shook his head at Philip’s manhandling, shocked that Philip refused to listen to him. “It’ll be a disaster if we rush in recklessly.” Loony glanced at Philip helplessly. Although disappointed about Philip's distrust in him, it was useless to say anymore now that they were in the cellar. They should figure out how to leave. “With the gusts of cold wind, this
“Let’s go right now. I can’t wait to figure out the situation.” Loony forgot all about breakfast and pulled Philip out of the room. He shuddered when he walked past Hercules. He was afraid of this puppet from the bottom of his heart. Philip simply moved along without a word. He was afraid that Loony would let the cat out of the bag. Philip felt that Loony had exposed them because of his fear. “Philip, where are you going? Can you take me with you?” Aslan said in fear. He trembled all over at the thought of Hercules’ spooky gaze. He just wanted to follow Philip and leave this scary place. “Just stay here for now. If anything happens later, I'll inform you to take care of it.” It was the best time to leave them alone together. Philip would never take Aslan with him. Aslan was in despair to hear that he had to stay behind. As Philip marched away, Aslan gritted his teeth and went into Lyle's room as if he wanted to chat with him, but he was actually seeking refuge. Herc
Aslan felt that he was going nuts. He never thought he would meet someone so scary. That guy was torturing him mentally. “Your eyebags are really heavy,” Philip suddenly commented. Aslan was certainly scared out of his wits. Something was definitely up with that human puppet, but Philip did not intend to tell Aslan the truth yet. “I’ve decided not to sleep. Let’s see what that guy is up to!” Practitioners could go without sleeping for a long time but as humans, they had the habit of resting at fixed times. Philip shook his head at Aslan’s reaction. He could tell that Aslan would suffer immensely, but he had to sacrifice this poor guy to get to the bottom of this. “I’m off.” Aslan tossed the quilt to one side and walked out. The moment he opened the door, Philip heard him gasp. He looked out of the door curiously and saw Hercules standing outside, staring at Aslan oddly. “Dude, what’s your problem? Will you die if you don't peek at others?” Aslan said in annoyance. He
Aslan saw Hercules' face in the window. He was very angry and was about to curse when he realized that it was an illusion. Hercules was not around, and his window was tightly shut. “What the heck is wrong with me? Are my eyes playing tricks on me because I peeked at beautiful women one time too many?” Aslan was worried that something was wrong with his eyes. “This is weird. Did that guy do something to me to make me keep seeing his nasty face all the time?” Aslan shook his head helplessly and turned his head away. Since he saw that face in the window, he would choose to avoid looking at it. When Aslan turned to his bed, he saw Hercules’ face next to his bed again. This was getting ridiculous. Aslan reached out and grabbed the image, but it was just another illusion. Aslan suffered such a great blow that he hugged his quilt and ran to Philip’s room in a panic. He swore that he had never felt so embarrassed all his life. Hercules’ weird appearance was so terrifying that Asl
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
