He found the target. He bit the dagger in his mouth and observed the situation in the room. No one seemed to be in the room except for the target. Then, he slowly removed the vent cover. He waited until Wynn walked to the living room and jumped into the room through the vent opening. The faint noise was masked by the thunder outside. Ernie crouched down as he looked around. Holding a shining dagger in his hand, he approached the woman in the living room who was on the phone with her back facing him. At this moment, Wynn was completely unaware of the danger approaching behind her. She was still on the phone and said anxiously, “Philip, we must cure Anne. This only happened to her because of me.” At this moment, Ernie was already right behind Wynn. The dagger in his hand was aimed at her neck. However, suddenly! A cold female voice rang in the room. “Who sent you here?!” Boom! This sudden sound made Ernie's movements halt in the air! He turned around and saw a
17, who had not made a move, grabbed the two butterfly blades on the coffee table. Two swishes! The butterfly blades flew across the air while rotating in circles before steadily slashing across Ernie’s thigh! After that! The blades turned around and returned to 17’s hands! As for Ernie, he had already fallen to his knees with a thud, blood pooling under his feet! He stared in disbelief at the aloof woman striding over from behind him. She was like a black rose that bloomed amid killings! “Y-You are…” Ernie asked incredulously. The shock in his eyes was like a raging ocean! A woman with such skills was definitely not an ordinary person! Ernie had been in this line for many years and was used to doing underground assassination missions. He had done more than 50 missions without failure! However, he had lost in the hands of this young lady today! Moreover, the woman in front of him had clearly not displayed her full capacity just yet! Boom! Just when Ernie was
As soon as he entered the door, his senses were assaulted by the choking stench of blood. At first glance, he saw Ernie in a pool of blood. It was a truly unbearable sight. 17 was carefully wiping her butterfly blades at this moment. She glanced at Philip indifferently and said, “I got a confession out of him. He was sent here by Homer Dunley of Charbury.” Philip frowned and nodded. He looked at 17’s glamorous and curvaceous, saying, “You’re a woman, after all. Why do you like doing such rough and barbaric things? Aren’t you worried that you won’t be able to get married in the future?” 17 put the butterfly blades behind her waist. Shifting from her cold and scary demeanor, she suddenly turned into a cute little girl and pounced on Philip. Blinking her big eyes, she looked at Philip and said, “I belong to you in this lifetime. Of course, I won’t get married.” Philip quickly pushed her away and said, “Stop fooling around.” 17 pouted and said with a shrug, “I’m not fooling aroun
After receiving Philip’s order, George said to the elites around him, “Young Master has given the order. Let’s begin. We’ll get it done at all costs!” “Yes!” Everyone responded and quickly sprang into action. Those operating on the computers started to bring down the stocks of Homer Pharmaceutical while launching capital warfare against Homer Dunley! Those on the phone contacted the companies and big bosses in Flower City of Charbury who had business dealings with Homer. Using the stick and the carrot method, they warned them not to cooperate with Homer Pharmaceutical and not to help Homer. Of course, the most practical way for these big bosses was to cooperate with these people, steal Homer Pharmaceutical’s business, and empty its market share in Flower City! Others quickly mobilized the Clarke family’s human and material resources in Flower City to impose sanctions on Homer Dunley’s family! In just ten minutes, countless calls came in and out. A mysterious force began
“Philip Clarke?” Homer’s face darkened before he sneered and said, “Damn it, are you trying to scare me? I’m Homer Dunley. What kind of storms have I not weathered? Do you think I’ll be scared with just a few words from you? Okay, come on, I want to see what else you can do!” Snap! Before Homer finished speaking, the other party disconnected the call. F*ck! Homer looked at the phone in his hand and smashed it on the floor in anger! He had already broken several mobile phones tonight! The housekeeper rushed over from the side and cleaned up the mess. She took out a new phone and put it on the coffee table. Homer gasped for air. Just as he was about to pick up his phone, a man in a suit rushed in from the door and shouted while sweating profusely, “Chairman Dunley, things are bad this time!” Homer shuddered and roared coldly, “F*ck it, now what?” The man quickly said, “Our stocks have plunged till the bottom limit. We’ve lost 500 million dollars! The businesses under yo
When Homer heard this, his face darkened and his eyes went dim. He mumbled under his breath, “This is impossible. How could this happen so quickly? Who the hell is he? How could he have such means and strength?” Homer was flustered. For the first time, he felt as if he was facing a problem that could not be solved. He had never taken a young man like Philip seriously before, but in the current situation, he had no choice but to reassess Philip. “Chairman Dunley, what shall we do now? The employees in the company are already talking about resigning and a bunch of our partners came over early in the morning to ask us for goods. Although our people have temporarily held them back, we really can’t stall them any longer. Once they know our current predicament and these partners sue us, it’ll really be over for us!” The man looked anxious, and his forehead was full of cold sweat. Homer took a deep breath to calm his mind and said, “We can’t panic now. You go back and stabilize the
Soon, the call was connected. Milo’s hearty laughter came from the other end as he said, “Fourth Brother, why are you calling me this early in the morning? Hasn’t the matter last night been solved?” Homer sighed and said, “Milo, it hasn’t been resolved at all. Do you know what happened to my company early this morning? I lost 500 million in the stock market and all my assets and properties have been frozen and seized!” “What?” On the other end of the line, Milo was shocked. His face turned grim as he asked, “How did this happen? Did the kid named Philip Clarke do it?” Homer nodded and responded, “It's him. He called me this morning and asked me to hand over Hector. I refused. Not long after the call, I received bad news from my company’s secretary. Milo, tell me what I should do. You have a wide network of connections in Flower City. Help me find out what the bosses and big figures in Flower City think of this. Also, help me contact Philip and tell him that I want to meet him.
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before saying, “Seventh Master, I understand your orders, but this matter is not that easy to solve. I think you should get in touch with the other party first. Not many people can deal such severe damage to your fourth brother’s businesses in just one night.” Milo’s face was cold. He knew that the other party was right. It seemed that he had underestimated Philip Clarke. “I know. There’s no need for you to lecture me. Just do as I say!” Milo yelled. “Okay,” the other party answered and hung up the phone. At this moment, Milo looked at his reflection on the glass window and felt for the first time that he had encountered a formidable opponent. In the past, he had always been the one who destroyed others. Now, it was the other way around. Someone in Flower City actually had the strength to make him suffer a loss and even bring destruction to his family. Just when Milo was thinking about how to solve the probl
Sure enough, the pill was nothing special. Apart from appearing quite tasty, the pill had no other effect. It was considered a useless item. “Humans are quite good at making pills. It’d be great if I had that ability too,” Akash said eagerly. He had studied this topic with others before, but they concluded that no other race had the talent to make pills apart from humans. Philip continued chatting with Akash, all the time wondering who he was. He could easily tell whether the other person's face was real or fake. This person did not disguise himself. His face was real. “Philip, I sense something wrong,” Lyle muttered under his breath. He sensed a strange vibe. A strong fishy smell was coming from a distance. Philip immediately recognized the source of the fishy smell. Who else could it be but the ugly elves? Abele was heading to the city with her troops. They knew that attacking these people was a matter of life and death. “We need to watch out. Don’t give them a chance
At this time, Akash ran over as if he were shocked to hear that sound. “Did you hear a deafening sound just now? I felt uncomfortable all over after that as if something was staring at me!” Akash said in a panic. He was now very jittery and afraid of everything. “Don’t worry, it’s probably an explosion somewhere,” Philip said. Akash was startled as if he could not understand Philip’s meaning. “Explosion? Is it a demon? That’d be very bad!” Akash looked around anxiously, feeling nothing else but panic. “Anyway, this is strange. No one knows what’s happening, so let’s just take it one step at a time. If a demon appears, we have no choice but to face it.” Philip waved his hand, not interested in this topic. They would have to face it, come hell or high water. Akash nodded and sat drinking his cup of tea with a bad premonition lingering in his heart. “Let’s hope you’re right.” Philip sat down and felt that something was wrong with Akash’s reaction. He probably knew something
The captured elves would suffer various hardships and become the humans' pitiful plaything. To prevent it from happening again, Akash forbade his people from stepping into the outside world. Therefore, it was ironic for him to summon his people here. “Find a room and have a good rest while you wait for your people to arrive.” Philip pointed to one of the empty rooms. Akash was exhausted after a long journey. Even though he had drunk a pot of tea, his mental state was not very good. He would collapse very soon without a good rest. Akash nodded. He did not refuse Philip's kindness because he knew he could not hold on much longer. He felt very unhappy at the thought of the upcoming battle.… At this time, the place responsible for imprisoning humans was getting restless as if the barriers were weakening. “Comrades, keep it up. I can feel the barriers weakening. We can leave soon!” A man shouted, and his words motivated everyone. Everyone was excited and worked harder to bre
“That’s great. I knew that our sacred tree would never lie to me. Only you’d dare to help me in this situation.” Akash was moved to tears by Philip’s words. He never dreamed that Philip was willing to help him. “I’ll try to contact the other elf warriors and see if I can summon them. Our combat effectiveness will improve significantly with their help.” Akash went to a corner to contact the elf warriors using a special method. They would sense it if they were still alive. However, he forgot an important thing. Abele was once a member of the family and knew about it too. She could feel the call the same as other warriors. As Akash summoned the warriors, Abele smiled wickedly. She did not expect Akash to summon his people so soon. “This took no effort at all. I was thinking if I should use my bloodline to search for his trace, but he turned up right at my doorstep. How convenient.” Abele found Akash’s location but was puzzled by his choice. “Is he crazy? Why is he in the h
“I have a natural aversion toward demons, so I felt very uncomfortable when I saw Abele, but everyone was in a hurry to leave at that time, so I didn't say anything. Abele probably colluded with the demons to get rid of Akash and his people, so Akash wants to seek help from us.” Everyone nodded at Katie’s analysis and thought she had a point. “Anyway, we’ll find out after a short wait. I’m sure he’ll get here very soon. We can figure out the details if he needs our help.” Philip distributed the precious elf water while calmly waiting for Akash’s arrival. He knew that he owed the elves a favor. Philip was not guilty about taking Akash’s elf water, but he felt embarrassed about Rabbit tricking the elf tree away from the elves. With the elf tree, Philip was not short of elf water. With the help of his pills, the elf tree would recover soon, so the yield would be much higher. Philip felt conflicted at the thought of Akash’s earnest behavior and decided to help if he could after
As long as Abele had full control over the elf tree, others would have no choice but to believe her identity no matter how ugly or deformed she looked. Now that the elf tree was missing, however, they could not find the elves’ treasure even if they turned the place upside down. “It seems that we can’t spare those people no matter what. You have to do me a favor. We have to find Akash and get the elf tree or all our efforts will be in vain.” Abele gritted her teeth and finally decided to kill Akash.… Meanwhile, Akash had escaped and knew that a great calamity had befallen his family. It was a total disaster. “Luckily, I have the pills from Philip, or I wouldn’t have been able to escape that woman’s clutches.” Akash felt a lingering fear. Although a pill had been taken from him, he felt better now. At least he still had many pills from Philip. “I have no choice but to find Philip next. If he’s unwilling to help me, I’ll have to beg someone else.” Thinking of this, Akash
Akash had been injured by the black energy emitted by Abele. He would be in trouble if he did not heal himself. Seeing this scene, Abele rushed over and snatched the pill from Akash’s hand. Abele had been waiting to get hold of one. “Give it to me.” Abele moved very fast after being possessed by the demon. Akash did not have time to take the pill before Abele snatched it from him. Seeing this scene, Akash looked around for his warriors, but everyone had left. Akash felt relieved. As long as his warriors had fled to safety, he had nothing to worry about. Seeing that Abele was admiring the pill, Akash quickly ran away. It was the best opportunity for him to run. He would have a future as long as he ran. He had to survive before he could make a comeback. Where there was a will, there was a way. Akash was quite good at running and soon vanished from everyone’s sight. Abele scoffed at Akash’s disappearance. Although she did not want to let him go, there was no point in cha
“I think those are pills made by humans. I wonder where he found such powerful pills. Get them for me. I’m very interested in studying them.” At this moment, a voice rang in Abele’s ear, most likely the person behind the scenes. Abele rolled her eyes. Who would not be interested in such a good thing? Everyone wanted to get one but it depended on individual ability. “According to my understanding over the years, even the best potions can't produce such a strong healing effect, not even the potions made by Merlin. These pills are a force to be reckoned with, and I want to get them now. Do something about it. Don’t let me down,” the voice forced Abele to solve the problem. “You know who has the pills. He’s very powerful, and I’m no match for him at all unless you help me.” Abele gritted her teeth and finally suggested. She knew that Philip was a human, so it had to be him. However, Philip had left, and no one knew where he went. In that case, she could only start with Akash.
They had suffered badly enough over the years, so Abele just wanted to resist. Akash had to die at all costs. Akash watched in sorrow as his warriors fought to their deaths. He wondered where Abele found her reinforcements, but that was not important now. His people were about to surrender, so that question was meaningless now. “Run!” A warrior saw Akash standing in a daze and was filled with panic. He rushed through the attacks and urged Akash to flee. “As long as you’re still alive, the elves will have a chance to make a comeback. No matter what, we can't let the enemies have their way. You have to make a comeback and show them how powerful we are!” The warrior was stabbed several times, but his face was full of determination as if he would never give in to these people. Tears welled up in Akash's eyes. He never thought that his people would say such sorrowful words one day. “I’ll die if you don’t leave now.” The warrior had no choice but to use his death to threaten
