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
At this moment, Hector noticed the smile on his father’s face and asked dubiously, “Dad, what’s up with you? Has Seventh Uncle handled the matter?” Homer glared at his stupid son and said, “Philip Clarke has come to Flower City.” “What?” Hector exclaimed in surprise. Then, with a look of excitement and malice, he said, “He actually dares to come to Flower City? Is he an idiot? Flower City is our family's territory. Barging in like this is the same as seeking death!” Hector was overjoyed! This damned Philip Clarke actually had the guts to chase him to Flower City. He would certainly kill Philip this time! Homer also narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, “Hehe, he’s just a young and immature kid. He thinks that we’re toothless tigers and a pushover just because he has temporarily subdued us. But he doesn’t know that in Flower City, there’s still your seventh uncle!” After saying that, the father and son smiled at each other. Hector quickly asked, “Where are you going
“Don’t worry. He’s not as powerful as you think. Besides, you can take control of my body at the critical moment, can’t you?” Abele patted her chest confidently. Hearing that, the mysterious voice stopped wasting its breath on Abele. They arrived at Philip’s residence at this point. They were surprised to find the door wide open as if Philip was waiting for their arrival. “That’s strange. Does he always leave the door open, or is he prepared to deal with us?” Abele was puzzled and pushed the door open carefully. Maybe the door was too old, so it made a creaking sound, which was quite unpleasant. There was no one behind the door. “What’s going on?” The ugly elves entered the garden but only saw some empty teacups with no sign of anyone. “They must have heard the news and ran away in advance or this place wouldn’t be empty now!” Abele was disappointed that they ran so quickly. In reality, Philip had stuffed everyone in Verge Tower while he watched the scene in a hidden co
“Take this pill and you won’t have to go around with this scary face anymore. Even if it doesn't scare our women, it's not good to scare other people.” Philip helped Loony as a show of his sincerity. He was a pitiful man, after all. “That’s great. I’ve not seen a pill for many years!” He seemed to trust Philip and swallowed the pill Philip gave him without hesitation. He looked very satisfied as if he was Philip’s devoted follower. After he swallowed the pill, his injuries healed before everyone’s eyes, and he was soon back to normal. Loony was surprised by that powerful force and trusted Philip even more. Philip set a barrier around Loony and gave him a room to rest. The barrier he set could shield Loony and buy them some time. He knew that the ugly elves were right on their tail, and it was also about time for the merfolk to find them. Philip would be in trouble if everyone showed up at the same time. Therefore, it was better to conceal Loony and take care of the thin
“I’m running out of time. I have a curse on me, and they can find my whereabouts. I’ll die if you don’t help me.” “You said you can help me escape from this world. What do you mean by that?” Philip was more interested in this topic. After all, everyone would think that the world of the gods was a good place. Why would anyone choose to leave? Unless that person was a fool. This world was full of energy and resources. If humans were not seen as outcasts, Philip could not understand why anyone would want to leave. “This world is nothing but a huge cage. Those people are unaware of it because they're trapped inside. No one knows that they're nothing but the playthings of the so-called upper gods. They’ll be abandoned once the interest wears off one day!” Hearing that, Aslan came to a conclusion. This guy was no doubt a mental patient who should be sent to the hospital for treatment. “Philip, do you believe him? I think he’s nothing but a patient from a mental asylum.” Aslan f
“What’s this vintage family?” Philip had never heard of this family in all the worlds he traveled, so he had no idea what the other party was talking about. “My family is proficient in voodoo and has always used it to embark on the path of practice. But our powerful practice makes us a prime target for those with ulterior motives too.” The people of this family were very powerful, so everyone envied them and tried to harm them. “The members of my family led a normal life back then, but later, many people were deceived into marrying people of other races. As a result, the offspring of such pairings became monsters without legs! “We'd only find one normal child among a dozen children, which is a great blow to our family. No one could accept it! “I’m the only normal child among my batch of children, so I have a distinguished status. Something happened to my family after I was born, so I’m probably the last descendant of my family.” Philip was very excited to hear the other p
Meanwhile, Philip sensed that someone was fast approaching them. “Everyone, watch out. I sense something coming for us,” Philip said warily. There was a loud knock on the door. Lyle walked over curiously and opened the door. He saw a disheveled man standing at the door and staring at him. It was a scary sight, indeed. “What the hell? Dude, don’t scare me in broad daylight! What are you doing?” Lyle cursed in fright. He never dreamed that he would see such a horrible scene. The man was covered in terrifying wounds, some so deep that the bones could be seen. He had clearly been injured for a while. His face also looked incomplete as if his flesh had been gnawed alive by something. He was just unpleasant to look at. Aslan and the others rushed over, curious to see what frightened Lyle so badly. Everyone frowned at the sight of the man, shocked by his terrifying appearance. “Whoa!” Even the talkative Aslan was at a loss for words. While he sympathized with the other party,
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
