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
Beep, beep, beep… “Old Master Seed? What advice do you have for me this time? Or is it regarding the matter with the last shipment?” Victor’s voice sounded from across from the phone. Saul frowned. A few days ago, he had a shipment of smuggled goods seized by the joint forces of Victor and the chamber of commerce on the grounds that the goods were unregistered! He put the phone on speaker so that Victor and Philip could hear each other. “Victor, I advise you to release my shipment. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won’t be able to afford the consequences this time!” Saul said. On the other end of the phone, Victor smiled and said, “Are you threatening me? It doesn't matter. How many gifts have you sent me over the years to try and buy me off? And now you actually dare to threaten me? “Haha, Saul Seed, do you think I’m a three-year-old child? Don't think I don't know what you were carrying on board that ship. Are you forcing me to check the goods on board? “Hmph! I’m not making
“Hahaha!” Saul laughed heartily and said, “Oh, Victor, are you finally afraid now? Do you remember how you’ve secretly dealt with me all these years? I’ll make you repay them all one at a time! Hurry up and release my shipment or I’ll chop off his fingers!” “This… Okay, don’t touch him! I’ll release your shipment now!” Victor said anxiously. All the people in the room laughed. Victor Bell had this coming! Who told him to go against the Seed family? “Wait a minute!” While the crowd was laughing, an uncanny voice sounded. It was Philip Clarke. “Saul, are the goods on that ship important to you?” Philip asked. Saul frowned. That went without saying! How could they not be important? That was Saul’s life! The reason why Seed Group had a place in Uppercreek was partly because of the foreign weapons smuggling merchants who supported him. However, the cargo was too heavy to be transported by air and it was impossible to pass the inspection through international bo
“You’re such a moron. You can only blame yourself for being stupid and messing with the wrong people! Now, it’s time for you to go to hell!” Zachary said as he raised the dagger and stabbed Philip in the chest! It looked like the dagger was about to penetrate Philip’s heart! Just then, there was a slight burst from the silencer of a sniper rifle. Pop! With this inconspicuous sound, Zachary’s hand was immediately shot off! It was totally gone! “Argh!” Zachary clutched his hand and screamed! Click! Crack! Immediately after, along with a few loud bangs, the entire roof of the warehouse suddenly opened. A gust of cold wind blew in, causing people to shudder in fright. The members of the Seed family looked up and were shocked! At some point, someone had cut open the top of the warehouse! It was now being hoisted up by several helicopters as if it were a suspended ceiling! The blinding sunlight shone into the gloomy warehouse and everyone became blinded. Before an
After confirming Philip’s intentions, the combat captain handed his weapons to the combatant next to him and handed the knife on his waist to Vince. “Do you know how to use it?” he asked. Vince was taken aback. Was the man in front of him a fool to give him a knife? He had seen the punch that he was attacked with just now. Although it was solid, it was not very powerful. Could this be his way of showing off in front of his master? In that case, he would just go along with it! Vince took the knife and stared coldly at the captain in front of him. All he could think of was how to subdue him and leave with the hostage. Seeing Vince constantly glancing in Philip’s direction, the captain already guessed something. “Don't think about it. Your dirty hand can't touch the young master,” the captain said coldly. Vince was taken aback. How did he know what he was thinking?! With a flash of anger, he took the knife in his hand and stabbed it directly! The captain did not even
Who were these people who just arrived? They were so powerful! Furthermore, why did they address Philip as ‘Young Master’? Were they special guards trained by Victor? How could that be possible?! Even Victor could not be equipped with such a fully armed combat squad! This was not possible, d*mn it! Even those big shots might not necessarily have such a team! Cold sweat almost soaked through Saul's clothes. Philip walked over and looked at the captain, sizing him up and down with interest. “Young Master, you…” The captain of the combat team felt a little queasy being stared at like that. “Well done, Mr. Sanjay West. Your skills are extraordinary, huh? Why didn’t you display such moves with me in the past? Tell me honestly, when you sparred with me back then, did you always go easy on me?” Philip chuckled as if he had seen through everything. Sanjay instantly stood at attention, his back ramrod straight. He said, “I wouldn’t dare! This… I have a reason for this.” “T
No one thought highly of Moray, and they did not even know what level he was at, but they knew he was not that strong or he would not have ended up in this miserable state. The stone man waved his hand calmly, and Moray fell to the ground, gasping heavily with fear in his eyes. Moray thought he could easily take the stone man down with that sneak attack, but he was sorely mistaken. The stone man was much stronger than he imagined. “I hate sneak attacks the most. Since you think so highly of yourself, go to hell.” The stone man engulfed Moray in the black energy, and Moray died before he could do anything. Philip watched the scene indifferently without taking it to heart at all. Moray’s death had nothing to do with him. The merfolk were in disbelief. They watched the scene with conflicted emotions but had to accept reality in the end. After going through so much, they were disappointed in Moray and had long wanted to leave him. Now that he was dead, they could finally choo
The stone man fell silent at Philip’s remark. He felt as if Philip was staring at his stone core and could rip him apart at any second. More importantly, he was different from ordinary practitioners of other races. He would die once he lost his stone core, and he could forget about taking over another person’s body to resurrect again. He simply wanted to become stronger, not look for trouble. “H-How did you know?” His eyes flashed with fear, clearly scared. Many people around heard Philip’s remark. They looked at the stone man thoughtfully. Since Philip was here, the stone man could not do much. In that case, they could find a way to kill the stone man. They could leave once they get the so-called stone core from the stone man. “Philip, do you mean we can leave once we get that stone core?” Lyle asked thoughtfully. He was curious because this was the first time he had heard of the stone core. Philip nodded. That was indeed the case. Suddenly, Moray, the merfolk chief, spr
“How can we leave this place?” Philip looked around but found no exit. The arrogant stone man had to tell them or no one could leave. Hearing that crucial question, everyone pricked up their ears expectantly. They could not wait to find the way out. The stone man sneered at Philip’s reaction. “Do you want to leave? Forget it. Maybe I can destroy the barrier and take you out if my strength improves, but I can’t do it at my current level. “My initial plan was to kill all of you and level up. By that time, all your flesh and blood will be part of me, so me leaving is the same as you leaving.” Philip frowned when he heard about the barrier. He closed his eyes and observed his surroundings. Sure enough, something was blocking his senses. The stone man noticed Philip’s reaction. He smiled smugly as if he had Philip in his grasp. The stone man always felt that Philip was a force to be reckoned with. On top of that, Philip was very smart. He had to know some secrets that he did n
Philip could not read their minds, but he was not interested in their opinions anyway. After all, they were nothing in his eyes. “Philip, you’re finally back. Where did that guy take you? Were you trapped in some secret realm?” When Philip appeared, Aslan approached him and handed some roasted meat to him. Aslan did many things in the last six hours, including grilling several rounds of meat. Philip took the food and glanced at Aslan. “I found a good training ground, and all of you can’t escape from that place. Get ready to be tortured.” He smiled as he took a bite of meat. Only he and Rabbit knew how dangerous that place was. Although it was no big deal for Philip, it would be a nightmare for ordinary practitioners. Aslan patted his chest confidently, not afraid at all. “What matters is your safe return. As for us, we can do anything. That guy threatened to eat us if you didn’t return in six hours!” Aslan told Philip everything that happened while he was away, and some
Although Rabbit was afraid, he felt Philip’s anger. As creatures of flesh and blood, this scene was so shocking that anyone would want to tear the murderer into pieces. More importantly, the corpses looked similar to humans, so Philip empathized with them. Apart from the ears that looked different from humans, the rest were similar. Philip went up along the river and soon heard someone talking. He saw several burly guys chatting. Although they were of different races, he could understand what they were saying. “Where did you come from?” The burly guys looked at Philip in confusion. They thought they had killed everyone, but another one popped up. However, they quickly noticed the difference between Philip and those people. He was not one of them. “Did you kill all these people?” Philip did not answer the question but asked in puzzlement. These people reeked of blood. They were obviously the murderers, but Philip wanted to hear it from them. The guys laughed arrogantly
After getting rid of the crocodile, Philip jumped up and returned to the shore with Rabbit. Although he had been fighting in the water for a while, Philip was not wet at all—a stark contrast with Rabbit. “Philip, are your clothes waterproof? Maybe I should see if I can make my fur waterproof?” After he was back to safety, Rabbit started shooting his mouth off excitedly again. He never thought he could survive. Philip was expectant when he felt the sudden increase in his power. He dragged the crocodile ashore. He thought this creature was weird. It was not a monster beast and did not have a monster core. However, it was very powerful and could fight Philip with its body alone. The monster beasts he had seen in the past could spray fire or water, fly in the air, or burrow underground. In short, they had some abilities to a certain extent. However, the crocodile in front of him did not display any abilities. It was just like an ordinary crocodile in the zoo. Despite that, ev
When they arrived at the oasis, Philip found that it covered a large area. This place could be considered a large island that looked quite luxurious and extraordinary. “We can finally have a good rest.” Rabbit leaned against a big tree comfortably. He felt relaxed as soon as he entered the oasis, which was not so hot and had abundant water resources. “The environment is quite good, but I wonder if there’s any danger.” Philip looked around with satisfaction. Suddenly, an ugly monster rushed toward them, so fast that Rabbit could not react. Rabbit was very close to the water and was taken by the monster before he could react. Philip immediately gave chase. The monster bit Rabbit and plunged into the water. Philip reached out and grabbed the monster. He knew that Rabbit was useless in such cases. Rabbit would probably be dead if the weird monster took him away. “Philip, save me!” Rabbit spluttered in the water, bobbing up and down, feeling very scared. He regretted staying
“This may look very cruel, but it wouldn’t have happened if they hadn’t attacked us,” Rabbit said with a sigh. He knew that Philip would not have done this if the ants had not treated them as food. He knew Philip too well. He would avoid trouble as much as possible. Philip would not attack for no reason even if he had to take a detour. However, the ants’ killing intent was too strong. It was bad enough if Rabbit felt scared. He just wanted to cheer for Philip. “Philip, did you notice that this place is not a secret realm but more like a world?” Rabbit said doubtfully. At first, Rabbit thought that the stone man had teleported them to a terrible secret realm, but after some time, he felt a difference between this place and a secret realm. “Although we can find various natural environments in a secret realm, they're generally false and can't appear in front of us, but everything around us is real!” The monsters they usually encountered in a secret realm would attack their s
“Wait a minute. Do you think that the black energy is approaching us?” Moray stepped back in a panic and looked around in disbelief. Hearing that, everyone looked at their surroundings. Sure enough, the black energy was getting closer. Aslan estimated that it would take six hours for the black energy to trap everyone. Aslan was calm. All the people under Philip’s command did not find the black energy dangerous. Only the losers would find it dangerous. Now that Philip was trapped, it was useless for them to worry. Aslan took out some recliners from his space ring and asked everyone to wait quietly. “Now that we’re free, let’s prepare some food and drinks. Let's not get into trouble.” At Aslan’s order, everyone took action. They had nothing to worry about. The others stared at them in surprise and amazement. Now that danger was upon them, how could these people laugh and eat without worries? They did not take the stone man seriously at all. However, they could not do
