The person in front of him was none other than Fennel Leigh. This was the second time that Philip met him. This guy always moved without a trace and was all over the world. He had too many secrets. However, Philip would not ask him about those. Fennel grinned and displayed his white teeth. With a flamboyant smile at the corner of his mouth, he held up the wine glass, motioned to Philip, and said in a lazy, magnetic voice, “Long time no see.” Philip raised his glass and the two toasted. He said, “It’s been a while.” Then, Fennel gestured for the two hot girls to leave and poured another glass for Philip. He leaned back, stared at the ceiling, and exhaled before saying, “It's still better to be back in a metropolis at home.” Philip took a sip of wine. He cut to the chase and asked, “I want to know everything about the door.” Fennel sat up straight and took out an object from his pocket—a black card. Philip recognized it at a glance. It was the black card from the Nona
“The first zone?” Philip’s eyebrows furrowed. “You mean the door controlled by the Nonagon is divided into different zones?” Fennel nodded and said, “It can be understood that way. The first zone is the most common area. Generally, those who can enter the door to learn are active in the first zone. Of course, even if they are only active in the first zone, they can still be a giant in their respective fields after coming out from the door and returning to society. Don't underestimate the world behind the door, even the first zone. There are many freaks inside.” Philip was calm. He looked at the two phoenix feather pendant keys in his palm and asked, “How many zones are there in total?” “Seven,” Fennel replied. “Which zone did you reach?” Philip raised his eyebrows and asked Fennel, who looked a little stern. “The fifth,” Fennel replied. The fifth? Philip’s expression quickly cooled down. A guy like Fennel only made it to the fifth zone? What exactly did the world behind
At present, there were only five pavilions in the Nonagon. They had yet to conquer the sixth zone, while Roger Clarke, who used to be in charge of the seventh zone, was labeled as a defector and driven out of the Nonagon. Philip’s brain spun rapidly as he quickly sorted out the relationships between them. Then, he asked, “My father used to be in charge of the seventh zone, which means that the Nonagon also controlled the sixth zone. Who’s that person?” Fennel’s gaze burned, and the corners of his mouth curved into a smile as he said, “You’re indeed smarter than I thought. You know the person in charge of the sixth zone as well. They have an extraordinary relationship with you.” “Who?” Philip asked with a frown. “Your mother, Charlotte Larson,” Fennel said. His voice was not loud but it made a huge impact. Philip was stunned, and his eyes went blank. Sitting on the sofa, his hands trembled slightly. Not long ago, Sheryl said that his mother was once the most talented geniu
Philip stared sharply at the four people who got out of the car. These people wore different clothes, and their mannerisms inadvertently made others feel the impulse to worship them. The man and woman from earlier welcomed them into the Concord Hotel very respectfully. It could be seen that the man and woman were extremely respectful to these four people. Philip just stood at the side of the doorway. When this group of people passed by him, he saw the faces of the four people under the black hoods. One of them had a stunningly beautiful face, fair skin, exquisite features, a pouty mouth, and almond-shaped eyes. On her neck, there was a geometric pattern of the Big Dipper. The second star of the constellation was the most dazzling. She was a tall woman, and as she walked, her hips swayed from side to side. She was flirtatious and sexy. She was also a cold and mature beauty. The person closest to Philip had a face filled with cold murderous intent. He had a fierce expressio
“Venom, that’s enough. Don’t cause trouble.” At this moment, the alluring woman beside the black-robed man suddenly spoke up. Her voice was pleasant and enticing. While speaking, she also raised her eyebrows and looked at Philip with a smile that was meant to be provocative. Hearing that, Venom Paine reduced his aura, looked at Philip meaningfully, and said, “You’re very interesting. I hope we can meet again later.” After saying that, Venom stopped looking at Philip. The woman beside him looked at Philip with a charming smile before she turned around and followed the other two people in front into the Concord Hotel. It was not until they left that Philip breathed a sigh of relief. The feeling just now was too strange. These people from the Nonagon were indeed extraordinary. Philip took a deep breath before walking into the Concord Hotel while being led by the attendant. Soon, he came to the main hall. At the scene, many glamorously dressed men and women were gathere
Hearing this, the crowd looked sideways and could not hide the fire in their eyes. It turned out there was such an opportunity tonight. In other words, if they obtained the favor of Sheryl Larson, they would have one foot in the Nonagon. This was a decisive opportunity! Many descendants of large families present at the venue initially had little hope at first and were merely trying their luck. However, when they heard about this, all of them rushed enthusiastically to Sheryl, uttering all kinds of flattering words. Sheryl dealt with them one by one, appearing very gracious. Philip sat in the corner alone, watching all this indifferently. A sneer of realization appeared at the corners of his mouth. Good for Sheryl Larson. It seemed she had been setting up a trap for him. A special guest enforcer? Interesting. Philip’s eyes were slightly cold as he stared at Sheryl who was surrounded by the crowd. The other party seemed to have seen him as well. She signaled her subor
“Miss Larson, you must take a good look. This kid is just an ordinary person. He’s nothing! I’m the head of the Seed family in Uppercreek, and I’m willing to pay 500 million dollars! I only ask Miss Larson to recommend me to the enforcers.” At these words, the crowd raised their hands and shouted. “The Wood family will pay 800 million dollars. I hope Miss Larson can put in a few good words about me in front of the enforcers.” “The Sutton family will offer one billion dollars!” “1.5 billion dollars from the Leeds family! The Leeds family will definitely get the spot in Miss Larson’s hand!” For a moment, the hall suddenly turned into an auction. Countless people started bidding and even came to blows! However, Sheryl only smiled lightly and said to the agitated crowd, “I appreciate your kindness, but the Larson family has already selected the most suitable candidate.” “Who?” someone asked indignantly. “It can’t be that guy, right?” someone pointed at Philip and asked. S
When Sheryl heard that, her body shuddered slightly as she mumbled, “I’m not hiding anything from you.” Seeing Sheryl’s evading eyes, Philip chuckled and pushed Sheryl away. He was about to walk out. At this time, Sheryl panicked. She quickly chased after him and clutched Philip’s arm, saying coquettishly, “Don’t be in such a hurry to leave. Since you’re already here, don’t you want to meet the people from the Nonagon?” Philip turned around, raised his eyebrows, and said with a snort, “Sheryl, what exactly are you up to? Do you really think I’ll help you?” Sheryl let go of Philip’s arm, crossed her arms over her chest, and said, “You will because I have a secret that you want to know.” Philip frowned and asked, “What secret?” Sheryl replied, “It’s about your mother’s accident. Don’t you want to find out something?” “Are you threatening me?” Philip’s face turned grim, the chill in his eyes absolutely frightening. However, Sheryl seemed unperturbed. She smiled and said, “
