Connor’s face was dark as he said solemnly, “It’s better to be on guard. I can’t see through this brat.” That was right. Until now, Connor still could not see through Philip. He was already more than 80 years old with a lifetime of experience. He had seen all sorts of people and encountered all sorts of situations. However, the only thing that stood in his way was that he could not see through Philip Clarke. After Philip left the suite, a Maybach stopped at the entrance of the hotel as soon as he went outside. An old man stepped down from the car. It was the same Butler Kent who was with Sheryl Larson last night. “Young Master Clarke, this is the information that the young lady asked me to hand over to you.” Butler Kent bowed and respectfully handed the information in his hand to Philip. Philip took the documents, gave them a few glances, and nodded while saying, “Okay.” “I’ll take my leave, then.” Butler Kent turned around and wanted to leave. “Hold on.” Philip sud
The Alliance? How could it be? Was Hannah related to the Alliance? Philip was stunned. He stood in place with a complicated expression and asked, “How much have you found out?” On the other end of the phone, Fennel’s lazy voice turned serious as he said, “Not much yet. This matter is rather tricky to investigate. As you know, my power in the country is not that great. I have restrictions in many areas. However, I can help you inquire about the matters in Country M. As for the Beauty Killers, leave them to me.” Philip nodded and chatted a bit more with him before ending the call. Then, Philip left the hotel. However, at this time, his phone suddenly rang. The caller was actually his father-in-law, Charles Johnston. Why was his father-in-law calling him? After Philip answered the call, he heard Charles hurriedly speaking on the other end. “Philip, come to Seed Group quickly. Your mother-in-law and I have been kidnapped. They specifically said that you must come over!” P
Philip was dragged to the training ground behind Seed Group. With a clatter, the huge iron gate was pushed open. Saul Seed sat at the innermost area next to dozens of grim-faced thugs, each with steel pipes or baseball bats in their hands. Charles stood to the side and dared not move at all. Martha was still sitting in a wheelchair. Both of them were bruised and swollen, obviously beaten up. Zachary was on crutches, and his right arm was wrapped in bandages that hung from his neck. He was beaten out of the blue last night. The other party had said that it was Philip Clarke who told them to do it! At that time, Zachary was so angry that he spat out blood! Philip Clarke was so good at playing dirty! “Bring him in!” Zachary yelled. The security guards behind heard him and kicked Philip in. Then, the door was closed tightly. Philip coldly glanced at the two security guards next to him. Kicking him would make their lives shorter! “How dare you glare at me when you’
Zachary limped forward on his crutches and patted Philip’s face lightly with his uninjured left hand. “Philip, you’re awesome, aren’t you? You secretly got some people to teach me a lesson, huh? Let me tell you, I’m going to kill you today! Let’s see who in Uppercreek can save you! Don’t think I can’t do it. Do you know what our family does? I’m afraid you’ll piss your pants if I tell you! Today, many of them are armed. If you have the guts, tell Victor Bell to come and save you! Let’s see if he’s willing to die with you!” As Zachary said that, he slapped Philip on the face! The thugs next to him laughed. Seeing that Philip was not fighting back after being slapped, Zachary grew more arrogant and reckless! “Haha, what a wimp! Why aren’t you bragging today? I haven't been humiliated like yesterday since I was a kid! I heard that you have a beautiful wife. I’ll take care of you first, and tonight, I’ll kidnap your wife and sell her to the clubhouse!” Zachary said unscrupulous
Saul’s white eyebrows twitched as he quickly clapped his hands. Behind him, several bodyguards who had been waiting for a long time instantly rushed out! The other thugs saw that these people were making a move and quickly stepped aside. Several of them were still fighting with Philip and could not get away. They were knocked away by Saul’s bodyguards and instantly flew out. One of them rushed in like a thunderbolt. With a sweep of his leg, he kicked away the thug in front of him who was in the way! This bunch of losers should just get out of the way! The man spun twice in the air and fell to the ground heavily in a dead faint! Philip had long spotted these people behind Saul and knew they were not easy to handle. If three or four of them came over at once, even Philip would not be able to take them down. He could not be on the offensive for long. He must make this a speedy battle by attacking one at a time! The two bodyguards in front, one with an expandable baton and th
Turning around, he saw a foreign special bodyguard! His body was like a chunk of iron, and he had tanned skin. This foreign retired mercenary was unlike these brainless people who only knew how to rush into fights head-on. Since the beginning, he had been lurking around looking for opportunities. He was like a crocodile in the water waiting to catch its prey! This was a true master assassin! He had seen the opportunity, so he grabbed Philip in a flash and immediately tried to break his arm! Philip was taken aback and quickly performed a backflip to defuse the twisting force on his hand. Then, he jumped up to withdraw his hand and retreated to the back. This person was quite capable! Before Philip could react, the foreign bodyguard rushed over and his pair of big iron-like hands grabbed Philip's shoulders. Philip immediately felt a strange force coming from him. He felt the pain in his shoulders from being grabbed and quickly bent down to escape. Although his reactio
“You still dare to be so arrogant?” Zachary raised his arm to hit Philip but ended up stretching his injured arm with that force. He grimaced in pain at once. “Zachary, sit down and rest!” Saul said, instructing his subordinates to help Zachary sit down. Then, Saul walked up to Philip, sized him up, and said sternly, “Young man, do you know that I could have killed you just now if I wanted to?” Saul’s eyes were bitterly cold as if he could send Philip to hell the next second. “No, you can’t.” A mocking chill appeared in the corners of Philip’s eyes. Hmph! Saul snorted and chided, “At this time, you still dare to act tough?! I don't want to argue with you. I’ll ask you a few questions and you’ll answer me honestly. One wrong answer and your life will be forfeited!” “If I tell you everything, will you let me live?” Philip said calmly. Before Saul spoke, Zachary interrupted on the side, “Sure, I’ll ask my men to capture your wife later. You can watch as my men play wit
Philip sneered, his expression looking stoic. Saul yelled angrily, “Let me ask you again, what’s the relationship between you and Victor Bell?” In fact, there had always been friction between Saul and Victor. Both of them were representatives of the north district’s business community in Uppercreek. In many large-scale business meetings in the north district, both of them had important voting rights. Uppercreek was a city by the sea, and the border was right behind the north district. Just by walking along the coast, one could cross the foreign border without a passport. Saul often used this method to conduct his smuggling business! Gutsy! Otherwise, with his business acumen, he would not have earned his status in the Uppercreek business community. Many would be able to kill him in seconds. Many people avoided him because they did not want to get involved with foreign forces. Moreover, the Seed family still had some contacts in the country. Among the special guards
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
