“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!
From the moment this woman entered the hall, the chill radiated by her made everyone in the hall tremble. Especially her face and expression. It was the kind of arrogance and contempt that exuded from the inside out. It was as if no one in the audience could enter her eyes. Philip glanced sideways at the woman who had suddenly appeared and could not help but frown. His first impressions were always quite accurate. This woman probably had a unique status. As for Theo, the moment he saw this woman, his gaze turned peculiar. He could not help being surprised! Others may not know her, but Theo had been the underground leader in Riverdale for so long, so he recognized her at first sight! This woman’s name was Vinci Hull. She was the eldest daughter of the Hull subsidiary and Flint’s elder sister. This woman was infamous! She was a cold-blooded and ruthless person. He did not expect to see her here! Theo could not help but panic. Philip was going to be mortal enemies wi
Forget it? Hearing this, Philip’s eyes turned cold. He looked at Theo and asked, “Are you afraid of this Lowell family?” Theo shuddered at those words. He nodded respectfully and apologized. “Mr. Clarke, you’ve misunderstood. I’m just worried about causing unnecessary trouble for you. If you need me, I can do anything for you, even going up against the Lowell family!” Theo immediately expressed his attitude. He would go all out for his master. Philip did not say anything to that and glanced at the woman in front of him. After that, he sneered and said to Vinci, “Even if the queen came here today, I want Flint to get his just deserts!” What about the Hull family and Lowell family? Anyone who dared to lay a finger on Wynn must be prepared to get wiped out! No matter how powerful the background, in front of the Clarke family of Arcadia Island, they were nothing more than ants! When Vinci heard this, her eyebrows furrowed. It was only then did she notice the young man n
They could also see some toddlers, which proved that the predecessors were living quite a good life. “We thought you had ascended to another place. Is this the place you ended up? It doesn’t look like the paradise described in the books!” Selma blinked innocently, wondering why this place looked like this. This place was not rich in energy, and there was nothing special about it, so it was not attractive at all. “We didn’t ascend but have been trapped in this place over the years with no way to leave.” Fitz did not want to deceive them and simply told them the facts. Now that they had entered, the newcomers had no way of leaving either. “Didn’t you notice? The passage that led you in has been sealed. There’s no way to leave now.” Selma turned her head curiously and looked at the exit. Philip followed suit and found that it was indeed the case. The exit was blocked by a huge stone. No one knew when the stone appeared. It felt like it appeared out of thin air. Philip's ex
When Philip’s eyes adjusted to the light, he saw a gurgling stream in front of him. There was a small village beside the stream and many more villages along the stream. Philip counted four in total. The villagers who lived along the stream observed Philip as he looked at them. “Outsiders?” A man standing in the front stared at Philip in surprised disbelief. Philip noticed that he had a snake tail. Hearing the man's words, everyone ran out. Without exception, they all had a snake tail. It was clear that they belonged to the same race as Selma. Selma covered her mouth in shock at this scene. It was true. Their predecessors were staying there. The man mellowed down after seeing Selma. He felt a familiar vibe on her. It seemed that they shared the same bloodline. Philip nudged Selma, who quickly understood his meaning and showed her true form. Cavin followed her cue. Seeing this scene, the man laughed and applauded. The spider people arrived at this time. They were surpri
Philip finally realized that Ariadna was not wealthy enough to do business with him. “This emerald pendant is very valuable! Don’t look down on it just because you’re strong!” Ariadna grumbled under her breath but had no choice but to accept it. After all, Philip had the final say about its value. Maybe her treasure was worthless to Philip because he was too strong for it. After taking the emerald pendant, Philip told Ariadna what he knew per their agreement, which was the secret about people living in the ancestral land. As expected, Ariadna was shocked by the news too. “Are you serious? This is too far-fetched. Are you saying that our predecessors have been trapped here and haven't left for another place?” Her outburst gave Philip a different idea. When he spoke to Selma earlier, he subconsciously believed that these so-called predecessors had ascended. It was strange that they reached a very odd place of ascension. After hearing Ariadna’s remark, however, it seemed mor
No one knew if their predecessors would treat them as their own. Although they had the same bloodline, they had not seen each other for such a long time. Besides, they sneaked into the ancestral land without permission. Maybe they would be killed before they stepped inside. Philip’s information was very useful, indeed. Selma quickly returned to her family members in a panic and discussed with them. With only a few of them, the discussion was very brief before they reached a decision. Cavin grimaced at this unexpected development, and he was more in awe of Philip. He was shocked by Philip’s strength. If Philip could sense that, his observation skill was nothing in front of Philip! Cavin felt helpless about it. It felt a little embarrassing to have shown off his skill in front of Philip now. “Selma, what should we do now? We have to consider the stalkers behind us. They won’t give up that easily. We may be in trouble if we don't find a way to get rid of them.” Cavin glanced at th
“Are you referring to humans like us or unique races like them?” Philip was surprised that Rabbit sensed something that he did not. Philip stroked Rabbit's round head with satisfaction as a compliment to him. Rabbit wiggled his short tail in pride. He really felt something was wrong, so he hoped Philip would pay attention to it. “I don’t think they're one of us. They're more likely one of the unique races.” Rabbit did not kick up a fuss after he noticed something was wrong but simply spoke to Philip on the side. He knew that these people might go crazy if they found out people were living in their ancestral land. Philip looked at Rabbit solemnly. After much deliberation, he finally decided to tell Selma about the discovery. Meanwhile, Selma was still thinking about how to get rid of Ariadna when Philip pulled her aside all of a sudden. Selma looked at Philip shyly with a hint of panic in her eyes. “I need to tell you something. Be mentally prepared for it,” Philip said se
If Philip had not been on guard, he might have been misled by the mist into thinking that it was nothing. Others rushed over, eager to find out what happened. Ronan looked around excitedly. He wanted to judge the situation by the traces left behind, but surprisingly, there was no sign of a battle. He was confused and wondered what had happened. He had been expecting a fierce battle. After all, it was very difficult to subdue such things. However, he saw a scene of peace in front of him. “Philip, what happened? Something feels wrong. There should be something toxic here, but I don’t see anything. Are you too strong or are those things too cunning?” Ronan was very curious and felt that things were more than met the eye. “You’ll find out soon. Anyway, did those guys follow you?” Philip looked back at the restless people mockingly. They were not that strong, but they would never miss any chance to take advantage of others. “Some of them did follow us, but they're not very quick
“On top of that, I can also help to expand your awareness and enhance your mental strength.” Philip persuaded the mist with everything he had, hoping that it would leave with him. He was strong enough to interact with the mist in an equal setting. If the mist refused to give in, Philip would consider beating it into submission. After much deliberation, the mist, who was more like an innocent child, agreed to Philip’s suggestion. Philip felt the excitement expressed by the mist. “I’ll take you into my space now. Don’t resist. You’ll feel that mysterious power in a minute.” He took the mist into his space, and the large expanse of blue mist vanished in an instant. The fierce killing intent in the passage disappeared with it. Philip looked at the disappearing mist in excitement. He found something very good this time. The mist was obviously still in its growing stage, an ignorant little thing at present. The mist would grow under his help into a strong existence. He was glad to
Arachne and the others saw the mist and were frightened. They quickly hid beside the snake people without lurking in the dark anymore. “What’s up with the weird mist?” The spider people brought more people than Selma’s team this time. Everyone was squeezed in this place, making it a little crowded. The snake people looked at them in disdain, shocked that they had the nerve to approach them. “Don’t you see how crowded this place is? Stop squeezing your way inside!” Cavin said with disdain. Although Cavin looked like a timid child who anyone could bully, he was quite manly in a confrontation. Rabbit huffed at them in anger but did not know what to say. Arachne rolled her eyes. “This is obviously the only safe place around. Where should we go if not here? You can leave if you think it’s crowded,” Arachne sneered with disdain. They knew that Philip had entered the danger zone, so they wanted to stay close to keep abreast of his updated situation. However, they overlooked
Whether the fine wine or the delicious beast meat provided by Philip, their strength improved greatly after the meal, which was simply too good to be true. Everyone guessed whether eating such meat on a long-term basis would make their bodies stronger. “Our business will definitely soar if we have such meat on the menu!” Selma marveled solemnly. She knew how attractive the meat was to humans or other races. It was worth looking forward to a meal that could improve one’s strength. Moreover, they could feel their bodies slowly absorbing the meat’s energy without going to waste, and they did not have to go through the effort of absorbing it, which was simply amazing. When Philip and his people left after having their fill, Arachne followed them with her people. Ariadna was so jealous that her thoughts became distorted. If she had not been so stupid back then, she might have gotten the chance to sit with Philip and enjoy the meal too. She lost the chance because she was stupid and
