The person on the other end of the phone was wearing loose black clothes and standing in the corner of the alley in the middle of the night smoking a cigarette. A little scarlet light could be seen between his fingers. “Okay, got it.” After that, the man hung up the phone before looking at the dim sky and crescent moon. The Hull family, Hull Chamber of Commerce. Alas, another oblivious existence insisted on provoking the young master. Half a day later, in a high-rise building that was more than 600 feet high in a country abroad. This building belonged to one company, the Hull Chamber of Commerce. At this moment, a man in a cyan suit and sunglasses stepped out of a black Mercedes-Benz on the street. He raised his head and glanced at the building in front of him with a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth. Then, he took off his sunglasses, put them in his chest pocket, and walked toward the door with long strides. The dormant chill made the foreign people all arou
In the surveillance room, the next scenes were broadcasted live. The man with the presence of a devil fought his way up the Hull Chamber of Commerce floor by floor! Yes! Floor by floor! Almost every floor was filled with more than a dozen bodyguards on close lookout. However, these people, under the hands of the man in the cyan suit, were like sandcastles that fell quickly. Everywhere he went ended in destruction! The whole monitoring room was in a mess with the personnel yelling into the walkie-talkie, mobilizing manpower! Half an hour later. A man in a cyan suit that was covered in blood stood in the elevator. The stench of blood filled the entire elevator! Several half-dead bodyguards were sprawled on the ground. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at the blood-stained elevator buttons and indicator lights. Ding! The elevator stopped on the last floor. Clang! The elevator doors opened. At first sight, the entire corridor was filled with human heads!
Could it be that all the bodyguards outside had been dealt with?! How was that possible?! Was this guy a demon? Yeager Hull was panicked and horrified! He knew exactly how many bodyguards there were in the entire Hull Chamber of Commerce Building! However, even under such tight security, the other party still fought his way up and was unharmed! What terrifying skills! Fennel Leigh smiled faintly, walked directly to the wine rack, and took a few sips of a bottle of red wine. Then, he sat on the sofa and took out a cigarette. Upon lighting it, he started puffing away. Yeager was very nervous at the moment. He was standing behind the desk, quietly placing his hands under the drawer. He was ready to pull out the Desert Eagle from the compartment at any time. “My friend, since you can make your way here, it means you have some abilities. Why don’t you join my forces? I'll pay you 50 million a year.” Yeager said with a faint smile on his face. 50 million! This price w
Fennel scoffed, shook his head, and said, “No way. The young master of the Hull subsidiary kidnapped Young Master Clarke’s wife and sister-in-law. Even the stupid woman Vinci Hull vowed to fight against Young Master Clarke. In my opinion, the current Hull subsidiary is trying its best to deal with the young master. Do you think that under such a situation, the young master can let them off?” Rumble! A bolt of lightning struck Yeager’s heart! He would never have thought that the damned Flint Hull would provoke Philip’s wife! Was that not akin to courting death? “This... Is there no other way?” Yeager was completely daunted. The only thought in his mind now was how to rescue this. However, Fennel’s answer to him was still so brief and powerful. “If you want to survive, don't intervene. Otherwise, same treatment.” Crack! This sentence struck Yeager’s heartstrings. In an instant, he seemed to be drained of all energy as his eyes became blank. Following that... With
As soon as Colin's words came out, the entire hall went deadly silent! It was a long while before anyone reacted, and all kinds of remarks suddenly broke out. Everyone had an unbelievable look and expression on their face. “Patriarch, is what you said true? The Lowell family broke all cooperation with us?” “What is the meaning of this? Abandoning us after squeezing us dry? Do they even put the Hull family in their eyes?” “Damn it! The Lowell family deserves to die! How dare they annul the marriage?! This is treachery! They will be condemned!” For a while, everyone vented their dissatisfaction and anger. Everyone neglected Colin’s first sentence—someone was about to deal with the Hull family. It was because in their opinion, no one would dare to attack the Hull family at all. Therefore, they naturally ignored this sentence. Was that a joke? Attack the Hull family? Were they tired of living? However, some keen people did exist among them. It was because they notic
Everyone could not believe that this sentence was uttered by Colin Hull, the head of the Hull subsidiary, a fearless existence! The biggest crisis of the century. Total family destruction! How could this be? However, following that... At the entrance of the hall, a group of Hull family disciples dressed in black martial arts uniforms walked in carrying a stretcher. On the stretcher, it was Second Master Sven Hull. He was wearing a breathing mask and looked extremely weak. At this moment, the Hull family’s persons in charge were shocked when they saw the appearance of Sven! “Second Master, this is?” Everyone was dumbfounded and in disbelief. The dying man on the stretcher was the second master of the Hull subsidiary! A powerful hero! An infamous existence! Now… What in the hell happened? Everyone was flabbergasted! Colin walked up to Sven and looked at the man who was still weak with the breathing mask. He clenched his fists and said with a grim face, “Sven
The call was connected. Everyone held their breath and listened carefully to Colin's conversation with their ears perked. “Brother, there’s something I need to report to you. Someone wants to take action against the Hull family in Orienta, and because of this incident, the Lowell family has broken all cooperation with us. They even annulled the marriage contract with Vinci, and Sven was almost killed by the other party. According to our investigations, the other party's background isn’t small. The Hull subsidiary may not be able to withstand it, so…” Colin said a lot in one breath. However, before he finished talking, a loud roar came from the other end of the line! Yeager was on his knees in the huge office at the moment, and Fennel was still sitting calmly on the sofa in front of him. He only glanced at Fennel furtively before yelling into the phone in a frenzy, “Colin, how dare you call me at this time?! If it weren’t for your son and daughter’s ‘good deeds’, how would y
Colin glanced at everyone before declaring, “Great! Since everyone agrees, the Hull subsidiary will stand together and fight till the end!” “Fight till the end!” “Fight till the end!” Starting from this day, the Hull subsidiary was under martial law and all members of the Hull family outside were urgently transferred back! Although all their businesses were not closed, they maintained a low-key operation. However, anyone could tell that the Hull family was preparing for battle. The outside world was surging with undercurrents. Many big families in Riverton also heard of this incident and deduced from the clues that someone was going to attack the Hull family. “Did you hear? The Lowell family broke all cooperation with the Hull family and even canceled the marriage contract!” At a party for the wealthy, many senior officials were gathered together and discussing in a low voice. “I also heard that since yesterday, the entire Hull family manor has been placed under mar
“So, you can forget about recruiting Philip. He’s someone I value highly. It’ll be great if he can help us through this crisis. But he’s a man with his own agenda, so he probably won’t give in to us so easily. Anyway, our priority is to gain Philip's trust and trick him into joining us. I believe that won’t be too difficult for our people.” At this point, Brett pointed to the depths of the room to emphasize his meaning. Heath saw this and nodded in silent approval. “I’ll leave it to you. Just handle it properly and make no mistakes. We need to get it done before the demons arrive.” After saying that, Heath rushed back to his room for some reason. Brett received the patriarch's order and went to a woman’s bedroom door. He tore off a seal and opened the door. “Dear sister, congratulations on regaining your freedom. It’s time for you to contribute to the family. You’ll be free once you get it done.” Brett spoke in a condescending tone as if the person in front of him was not
“I've always heard that the Spade family is very powerful, and I can see now that it’s well-deserved. I always thought that the Spade family was on par with the Swift family, but now, it seems that they can't hold a candle to you!” Philip praised the Spade family generously. The two members of the Spade family looked very excited and surprised by Philip’s eloquence. They welcomed people who praised their family. “That’s very nice of you. Are you here to speak to us about cooperation?” Heath knew that Philip wanted to work with them, so he moved to the topic. “Yes, my stand is very clear. I’m going to deal with the Swift family, so I want to confirm some details with you. If there’s no problem, I’ll take action.” They quickly started the discussion. Philip came fully prepared and displayed his concern over this matter. They had a better understanding of each other after the chat. Heath approved of Philip and found that he was a rare talent just as he had imagined. “Since tha
After Philip rescued Liram, Brett was still looking for Liram everywhere. After taking care of things, Philip met up with Loony and returned to the reception room as if nothing had happened, acting calm and composed. Loony glanced at Philip and hesitated to speak. He knew that this was no time to speak. “I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. Please have some tea. This is the best tea we have.” A maid walked in and poured some tea for Philip. It seemed that she did not notice that Philip and Loony had left earlier. Philip nodded with satisfaction at her reaction. This maid would be their best witness. Brett never dreamed that he would lose Liram. He walked around the garden in annoyance, trying to find a trace of Liram. He had to take care of this no matter what. No one knew whether the intruders earlier were friend or foe. If the secret of the Spade family was exposed because of it, the reputation they built over the years would be ruined. At this time, he bumped into the
“Liram, I told you not to trust anyone easily, but you didn’t listen to me. In that case, I have to prove my words to you. You weren't wrong to make friends with me, but your problem is knowing too much. How can an outsider know the secrets of our family?” Brett said vehemently. Brett was sincere about making friends with Liram, but he discovered the secrets of his family by accident. The Spade family had always been very prestigious, so no one was allowed to find out such dark secrets about them. “My family has a good reputation in the outside world. It would've been bad if you exposed everything. As the heir of the family, I have to protect our reputation,” Brett said calmly. He did not think it was a pity to kill his friend. “You should feel lucky that you can make some contributions to my family while you can.” Philip roughly understood the situation. Brett had brought his friend here to kill him. What a jerk. At this time, Philip approached Liram and whispered in his e
Brett had used a secret technique to skin the victim alive previously. The man trembled at the thought and was caught in a dilemma. “I don’t know! I didn’t see anything!” He struggled while the other prisoners looked at him with conflicted emotions. It was time to make human puppets, and Brett would use them for experiments. They would probably be the next victims. Thinking of this, everyone looked at each other, and their previous confidence vanished into thin air. “If I tell you, will you let me go?” A bizarre cynocephaly with a dog’s head and human body spoke up. Brett laughed and said, “I knew something was wrong. Since you refuse to speak, I’ll let others tell the truth. I want to see what’s going on.” Brett grabbed the cynocephaly out. The other party prostrated on the floor, looking weak and powerless. “Promise me that you’ll let me go once I tell you everything!” Brett nodded at his pious look. “No problem.” The cynocephaly was excited at Brett’s promise
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
