Philip stayed with Wynn in the hospital until the evening. After completing various tests, Wynn was discharged from the hospital and was ready to return to the hotel. There was nothing serious about her condition but the people around her were too nervous. After all, Wynn was about to give birth. Philip personally drove the car and did not allow Heath and his men to follow them. After all, Wynn was not aware of his power in Uppercreek. There were certain things he could not tell her just yet. After the matter involving Beacon and Martin Johnston was resolved and he took Wynn back to Arcadia Island, the time would be almost ripe. The car turned into a remote lane and they were almost less than two blocks away from the hotel. Suddenly, three vans flanked from the front and back, blocking Philip’s car. Philip was shocked and slammed on the brakes! At the same time, he reached out to grab hold of Wynn, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. He almost got thrown out! Ins
“You two, hurry up and get down! Or else, we’ll smash the car!” “Get down now!” “How dare you disobey Chad’s orders? Do you know who Chad works for?” Wynn’s delicate face was pale as she nervously grabbed Philip's hand and said, “What should we do? Let’s call the police!” Philip looked around and said, “Don’t be hasty. If we call the police, I’m afraid it’ll only anger them. If they smash the car, you’ll get hurt.” “What should we do then?” Wynn was so anxious she almost burst into tears. Philip looked at Wynn tenderly and said, “Wynnie, do you trust me?” “W-What do you want to do?” Wynn looked at Philip with uncertainty. Although she did not know what Philip was about to do, her heart still shook when she saw Philip’s sincere and gentle eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, “I trust you. What are you going to do?” Philip smiled, took out his phone, and quickly found a number. He said, “Call this person and say that Philip Clarke has run into some trouble. Then, close y
With that said, Chad raised the long dagger in his hand and stabbed Philip’s arm viciously while shouting, “Let me take one arm first!” They had thought that Philip would crouch on the ground in fear, or simply pass out in fear. To their surprise, Philip did not even dodge. Instead, he smiled oddly at Chad at this critical moment. Chad’s heart jolted! Those were not eyes that belonged to a sheep. Cold, cunning, and contempt for everything… This was clearly a wolf that ate people without spitting out bones! He must be taken down quickly, otherwise… As the thought flashed across his mind, Chad’s blade took a turn and aimed for Philip’s chest instead! Years of instinct honed by living on the edge of the knife told Chad that if the person in front of him was not killed in time, he would be in big trouble! However, it was already too late. Before Chad’s blade could touch him, Philip had already dodged the attack and retaliated with a heavy punch on Chad’s body! Chad co
F*ck, how could this kid be so aggressive? His skills were too awesome! All of them were thugs who made a living by fighting, but nearly 20 of them could not handle one Philip Clarke. At this time, a punk quietly snuck behind Philip and raised the steel pipe high to smash into the back of Philip's head. To his surprise, Philip seemed to have eyes on his back. He unhurriedly dodged his head to the side and lifted his leg, kicking the punk’s crotch. Instantly, the punk almost fainted from unbearable pain! Crack! Everyone present had a sympathetic expression on their face. All of them knew this was the sound of shattered balls. The punk who was kicked fell to the ground with a face full of pain while covering his crotch with his hands. His body was hunched like a shrimp, and he could not help rolling back and forth. After all, no man could bear this kind of pain. In the car, Wynn closed her eyes very obediently and also covered her ears with her hands. However, she c
Master Eight was startled. Why did this voice sound so familiar? He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with his hair combed back jogging over while glaring at him coldly. It was one of the three lords of Uppercreek, Victor Bell! Master Eight immediately began sweating and lost all his arrogance from before! Although he was known as one of the four underground kings of Uppercreek, he knew full well that he and Victor were not on the same level at all. Master Eight was simply a boss on the streets and made a living through gang activities without much of a background. He just relied on his seniority and a large number of underlings. As for Victor Bell, he had a huge background and owned countless businesses in Uppercreek. His wealth and power made him reign at the top of Uppercreek’s underground forces. In front of Victor, Master Eight was no more than a minion. “M-Master Bell, what brings you here?” Master Eight was a little flustered, wondering if the boss behi
Before Victor finished speaking, Philip quickly grabbed Victor and pointed behind him. Since just now, the sounds of fighting had ceased. Wynn had already rolled down the car window slightly, peeking out to check the situation. Victor quickly changed his tone when he noticed that. “Oh, he’s a relative of Hoyt Luther, the director of the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce! How dare you stop his car! Are you tired of living?” Hearing that, Master Eight was shocked. Master Eight was already in his 50s and had always held an average position among the underground forces in Uppercreek. In terms of seniority, he was considered a veteran with many underlings. However, in terms of power, he was far beneath Victor. The biggest reason was that he did not have a background in business. Now, this person he had surrounded was a relative of the director of the chamber of commerce, Hoyt Luther! No wonder Victor thought so highly of him! If Master Eight knew that Philip was in fact the
The elegant woman sitting on the sofa smiled as she looked at Wynn and nodded. Then, she turned her gaze to Philip and said with a smile, “Phil, don’t you want to introduce your fourth mother?” Only then did Philip smile and help Wynn sit down. He said, “Wynnie, this is my fourth mother.” Fourth mother? Wynn was startled as her eyes doubtfully fell on Philip as she asked, “Father-in-law’s fourth love—” Philip quickly cut her off and made eyes at her. The graceful woman chuckled and said, “It’s okay, Phil. What Wynnie said is true.” Wynn realized her slip of the tongue and quickly laughed to cover her embarrassment while saying, “Sorry, Fourth Mother.” The woman smiled and took a delicate small gift box from the bodyguard behind her with her jade-like hands. She handed it to Wynn with a smile and said, “It’s our first meeting and I don’t know what you like, so I just prepared a random gift for you. I hope you don’t mind.” She laughed and joked, the smile on her face look
Philip leisurely took a sip of tea and said, “What did my dad say?” “What can he say? He avoided the confrontation all three times, which means you need to solve it yourself,” Hazel said and grumbled a little, “I wonder what your dad is thinking. How can you solve such a big matter by yourself? That’s the chieftain of the branch family. He represents the entire branch family.” When Hazel said this, she was expressing her worries for Philip. Philip chuckled and said, “Fourth Mother, do you trust me and my dad?” Hazel was taken aback and said, “Of course, how could I not trust the two of you?” “In that case, you can keep your worries to yourself. I know what I'm doing. If the branch family dares to cross the line, the ending that awaits them won’t be pleasant,” Philip said flatly. “But what if the chieftain of the branch family makes a move against you and your dad?” Hazel asked worriedly. Philip got up, put his arms behind his back, and stood in front of the large French w
If Philip was at fault, Lincoln had nothing to say. However, if Hogster was the one who had caused all the trouble, he would not spare them. “I’ll get to the bottom of this. Now, tell me what’s going on with Dennis. Based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't betray the guild for no reason. He must have a reason for doing this!” Neither of them could explain what happened to Dennis. They could only say that humans were fickle. After all, they could not figure it out either. The person at fault would never admit their fault. Alain did not think that he was biased or thought that what he had done was excessive. He simply thought that Dennis looked down on him, which was why he decided to leave. Now that he was gone, Alain could say whatever he wanted, and Dennis could not defend himself. Thinking of this, Alain was very excited. He began to defame Dennis and shifted the attention away from him and his son. Lincoln scowled as he listened. Then, he returned to his room and summ
Alain was helpless. Although he had a lot to say, he could not do anything in front of Lincoln. Lincoln was stronger than him in every aspect, a force to be reckoned with. He was not someone Alain could deal with. Alain looked at Lincoln awkwardly. He wanted to appease his anger but did not know what to say. “You need to explain this to me. Why did Dennis leave? And I want to know why the guild’s reputation has become so bad. Did you do something wrong?”Lincoln heard that Dennis had been expelled and could no longer stay in the guild. Many people supported Dennis, so they were upset with Alain and tried to defame him. Hearing that, Alain knew that someone must have been talking behind his back, but he did not dare to lose his temper. He forced a smile and looked at Lincoln in a flattering manner. Before he could find an excuse, Hogster rushed over excitedly and said to his father, “Father, guess what I did to Philip? Hehe!” Hogster recounted his handiwork smugly without p
It had been years since the grandmaster went into seclusion for practice. He was not concerned about power. He once mentioned that he would not leave his seclusion unless he reached the top. Hence, no one expected to see him. “Grandmaster, you appeared at the right time. We would've been in trouble if you didn't come out!” “That’s right. Everyone is bullying us. Now that you’re out, you can help us.” Everyone complained about their grievances, feeling sorry for themselves. The Hexa Guild was in trouble, and they faced various problems too. All the major guilds were keeping a close eye on the Hexa Guild, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. The Celestial Palace planned to destroy the Hexa Guild instead of letting them off. They could not accept the initial setup, so they decided to erase the Hexa Guild from existence. Hence, the Hexa Guild had been under great pressure, with the members wishing that someone could help them. Unexpectedly, a strong expert appeared.
Ronan was his buddy, and his wife's reputation was at stake. Philip could not stand idly by. He had to help. Jamie was very fast at ordering his people to make the matter public. No one expected another dramatic turn of events. Everyone thought that the young lady of the Celestial Palace was an unchaste woman for making that decision. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Palace found a way to solve the side effects of their technique. All the major guilds were in trepidation. Although the Celestial Palace’s technique was very powerful, the side effects reduced its allure. Now that that problem was solved, everything was different. On top of that, the holy maiden and other members of the guild showed their appearance in public. Regardless of gender, everyone was beautiful without any markings on their faces. After seeing this scene, everyone knew that the Celestial Palace was about to make a comeback. Carlos was very excited and thought that Vanna was a lucky star to bring so many
After reading the letter, Alain trembled in anger, shocked that two of his strongest members would choose to leave the guild at such a critical time. Their departure was no joke. The guild could lose the guild competition at any minute! Dennis and Louis were very strong and could hold down the fort in the competition. With their departure, Alain would have fewer people to count on, and things might end up a mess. He was furious about their abrupt departure. “I need to capture Dennis. How dare he betray us?!” Alain was very upset. As a traitor, Dennis had to be dealt with. The news quickly spread, and many members found out that Dennis had chosen to leave the guild. The other elders also wondered what they should do. They knew that Dennis was a smart man and was good at judging the situation. Choosing to leave was a sign of a change to come. Everyone had their own thoughts and a rough guess about what was going on. Alain's actions not only caused an uproar but also made
A young man about the same age as him was so talented. Could anyone not be jealous? However, Louis was truly not jealous. He just wanted to learn from Philip. If Philip was really that strong, he would obey. Although Louis had a high status in the guild, he was not highly valued. That useless loser was given priority when it came to most of the resources, which made Louis upset. By right, resources should be allocated to talented people, but things were different because Hogster had a guild leader for a father. Thinking of this, Louis smiled at Philip expectantly. If Philip was worth following, he would leave the Hexa Guild without hesitation. “I want to apologize for offending you earlier. I also want to follow you, but I don’t know if I’m good enough. If you won’t consider me, I hope you can give my son a chance. He’s pretty talented.” Dennis was very polite as he apologized to Philip. Philip was surprised and thought that Dennis was quite nice. Philip invited them insi
Dennis and Louis quickly arrived at the door and knocked nervously. Rabbit opened the door this time. He did not expect to see Dennis again. He thought Dennis was here to cause trouble, so he scowled. “Why are you here again, old man? Do you want to cause more trouble for us? You’d better think twice or I’m going to get angry!” Rabbit said fiercely. Rabbit easily crushed them earlier, so they would not forget about their miserable defeat so quickly. Louis was embarrassed to hear that this rabbit had defeated his father. He had always thought that Dennis was very powerful and would not lose to a younger person no matter what. Unexpectedly, Dennis was not only defeated but lost miserably too. Louis keenly perceived that this talking rabbit was Philip’s pet and became excited. If Philip's pet was so powerful, Philip should be better. Thinking of this, he was excited and wanted to see Philip immediately. Rabbit stared at Dennis and Louis, wondering what they were up to. Denni
Celeste was surprised to see that Esther had restored her appearance. She had just seen Esther wearing a veil to cover her ugly face when they first met earlier. “Amazing! You look beautiful all of a sudden,” Celeste praised Esther from the bottom of her heart. Celeste did not know how it happened, but there had to be a reason for it. Esther smiled at Celeste. “Now that I’m beautiful, I can fully focus on taking care of Philip. Don’t worry, I won’t be worse than you.” Hearing that, Celeste was puzzled by Esther’s aggression. While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, an uninvited guest turned up at the door. It was none other than Dennis of the Hexa Guild. Dennis was not alone as he had brought his son along with him. His son was quite talented and always listened to his father's opinions. After all, he knew that he would not be where he was without his father’s guidance, and most of his father’s decisions were correct. “Father, are you sure we should leave the guild
Esther never thought that her curse could be lifted so quickly. More importantly, Esther found that all the negative energy in her body had disappeared. She took off her veil and looked at them with her true appearance. Esther was beautiful by nature, but the nasty technique had impacted her self-esteem. Now that she had regained her appearance, Esther’s confidence returned as well. “Wonderful! This technique is the perfect improved version! With this technique, our members can practice like any normal person without worrying about their appearance. Other guilds can’t kick a fuss over it or try to mess with us again!” Jamie was ecstatic and abruptly remembered a very important question. “By the way, what’s the deal with this technique? Did someone give it to you?” Jamie had to get to the bottom of it. It was very important. He would be uneasy if he did not figure out the situation. “Philip gave it to me. I don't know how he got our technique, but he’s quite good at studying
