Meanwhile, Fred and his five lieutenants had arrived at the door of Philip’s suite. Fred swaggered into the suite and saw Philip standing in front of the large French windows with his hands behind his back and a faint smile on his lips. He looked very young. Was he the Philip Clarke who Milo Dunley wanted to get rid of? He was too young! At the same time, he also saw Jowin Benson standing next to Philip. He said with a sneer, “Hehe, Jowin, there are talks outside that you’ve become someone’s lackey. I thought it was a rumor but it seems to be true. You really are a disgrace to the six lords of Flower City.” Fred was arrogant. He paid no attention to Philip at all, his focus completely on Jowin. In Fred’s perception, Philip was no more than a strong figure from out-of-town. Although he had some strength and means, he could never overpower the local forces of Flower City! He was still most apprehensive of Jowin Benson. What if the mastermind behind the scenes was Jowin?
After saying this, Fred sneered. “Young man, things are complicated in Flower City. Do you, an outsider, think you can cause such a commotion on someone else’s territory? Now that I’ve given you the conditions, you only have ten minutes to consider.” After saying that, Fred raised his hand and made a gesture. An underling behind him pulled out the long dagger from his back and threw it on the floor. A clatter resounded throughout the private room. Upon seeing this, Jowin was furious. He pointed at Fred and shouted, “Fred Able, are you not taking me seriously? Do you think that you’re the only one who has brought people here?” As he said that, dozens of vans and sedans swarmed toward the hotel that was already being surrounded by Fred’s people. Thugs with baseball bats and long daggers jumped down from the cars, surrounding Fred’s people! Instantly, the situation around the hotel changed! Two groups of people occupied two sides of the hotel, forming a confrontation! As f
Hearing this, Homer was obviously agitated. His eyes widened as he asked, “What did you say? Jowin Benson is there too?” “Yes, Master Benson led his men and confronted Fred’s men at the ground floor of the hotel. The situation at the scene is very uncertain right now,” the underling said breathlessly. Homer’s expression crumbled instantly. He clasped the back of his hands and turned to Milo as he said, “Milo, what do you think we should do now? Jowin is really determined to help Philip. Did we make the wrong move? If Jowin and Fred’s people really go up against each other, Flower City will definitely fall into a catastrophe.” This was the last thing Homer wanted to see. If that was the case, the situation would be out of control! Milo’s expression was cold, and he frowned. He looked at the subordinate and asked, “Get the car ready. Let’s go there too. I want to see with my own eyes what means this Philip Clarke has!” After that, they quickly left the villa and drove to the vi
Fred frowned as he turned his head and roared at the five people, “Are you deaf? Make a move!” “Fred, you’ve lost,” Oscar Gibbs said helplessly at this moment. These words made Fred’s heart tremble. With a face full of doubts, his gaze swept over the five people as he asked, “What do you mean I’ve lost? You betrayed me?” Kris stood out at this time and Fred was overjoyed. It seemed that Kris was still loyal to him. He thought about the previous rumors and felt that they must have been instigated by others. For this reason, Fred laughed and said, “Very well, Kris is still loyal to me! Kris, I was wrong in the past. Once this matter is over, you can come back.” However, just after Fred said this, Kris walked straight past him under his shocked gaze. Kris stood in front of Philip, bowing and saying, “Young Master Clarke, everyone has been arranged and is at your disposal.” Fred was dumbfounded! He could hardly believe his eyes! Kris actually called Philip ‘Young Master Cla
Fred’s face was ashen at this moment. His pupils trembled as he glared angrily at Philip and the others! Damn it! He had walked right into the trap! He did not expect that even the hidden forces he had prepared for ten years were dealt with overnight! Fred sneered and said, “Indeed, you’re not an ordinary person. I didn’t expect that an experienced person like myself would fall for a trap laid out by a junior like you! But don’t think that I’d be afraid of you just because you’ve caught them! The hotel has been surrounded by my people! All of them will listen to my instructions and act accordingly! At most, we’ll just perish together!” Philip shook his head indifferently as he looked at the furious Fred. “Perish together? I’m afraid you won’t have that chance.” Fred was puzzled. His expression tensed as he asked, “What do you mean?” Philip shrugged and said, “You can see for yourself what’s going on around the building.” Fred was flustered. He hurried to the window and
Milo Dunley was also full of shock at this moment. He thought that Fred was more than capable enough to handle the situation. Now that he had seen part of Philip's strength with his own eyes, however, his heart was full of dismay! This sort of formidable method was really not something he could deal with! This group of combatants alone was not something Milo could easily get his hands on! “Homer, don’t panic. The situation isn’t out of our control yet,” Milo said solemnly before he said to the driver, “Go back first. We need to come up with another plan!” With that said, the car quickly left the hotel. After Milo and the rest returned to the villa, their expressions were very ugly. Homer looked as though he had fallen into a pool of water as beads of cold sweat had covered his forehead. Hector also started to panic and cried out, “Dad, what should we do now? Will those people come and catch us? I don’t want to be caught by them! You need to send me out of the country! I d
“You… You’ve gone to the main Dunley family in Hampton?” Homer’s voice went up a pitch as he asked while glancing at Milo next to him. Milo’s expression was also very unpleasant but he immediately mocked, “Boy, Hampton is the territory of the main Dunley family! You’re bold enough to dare go there alone, but I’m afraid you won’t come back in one piece!” Hehe. Philip had already entered Hampton! He was sitting in the helicopter, looking down at the most developed city in Charbury—Hampton! This was where the main Dunley family was located. They were also the pillar of the entire Dunley family! The sound of the propellers whistled in his ears. At one glance, the tallest building in Hampton was like a giant sword that plunged into the sky! This landmark building in Hampton belonged to the main Dunley family—Dunley Group! It was the tallest and most luxurious building in Hampton! It was more than 400 meters high! “Milo Dunley, the main Dunley family may be a sacred exist
This fifth uncle was none other than the fifth uncle of the patriarch of the main Dunley family, Winston Dunley. He was the half-brother of the former patriarch of the main Dunley family. In terms of seniority, he was the fifth uncle of the current patriarch of the Dunley family, Sterling Dunley. He was also the family head of the branch Dunley family in Flower City! Milo and Homer were Winston’s nephews. Homer and Milo’s father died young. Winston’s status in the main Dunley family was not low, and he was also quite reputable in Hampton. As soon as Milo said that, he took out his phone and dialed Winston’s number. The phone rang five or six times before it was picked up. A calm and aged voice came from the other end, asking, “Milo, is there anything wrong that you’re calling me at this hour?” Milo was full of compliments with a respectful smile on his face as he said, “Fifth Uncle, how have you been?” “As good as I can be.” The old man on the other end laughed and
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
“I won’t be joining your guild, but I don’t mind being a spectator. At least I can watch the fun. I know that you’re quite strong, so you don’t need me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I don’t think you’ll face a problem.” Philip smiled indifferently, quite confident that nothing much would happen. The overall strength of the Celestial Palace had improved significantly, so they really had nothing to worry about. Jamie was relieved to hear that. In that case, he could rest assured.… The guild competition officially kicked off, and everyone was ready to battle it out. The battles were not something that simply required strength to resolve. Occasionally, the competitors required tactics too. As Alain was feeling anxious, his reinforcement finally arrived at the scene. The hooded man turned up with some potions, ready to carry out his task. “Hey, you’re finally here. I thought I wouldn’t see you again.” Alain was worried. He knew that he was in a precarious situati
“Father, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!” Hogster sat by Alain’s bedside and asked in a panic. Hogster would not have been worried about Alain in the past, but things were different now. They were facing various crises. Without his father to take care of things, they would be doomed. Alain coughed violently and fumbled around for some healing pills before stuffing them into his mouth. The pills were not useful for his injuries but could at least relieve his pain. After Alain took the pills, Hogster hugged him excitedly. “This is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.” Alain almost died in anger over his son’s remark. “Hogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. You’ll make a name for yourself if you do this.” Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, “Father, although I’m quite strong, you can’t do this to me! How am I suppose
The rabbit had a very expressive face as if it was watching Alain make a fool of himself. “You’re quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, let’s hear them.” Hay dangled from Rabbit's mouth, and he seemed disdainful. Alain seemed conflicted at the sight of Rabbit and felt like he was looking at Philip instead. “Why are you here?” This rabbit was weird, and no one could control it. As far as Alain knew, the rabbit was famous in major cities and good at picking fights. “Of course, I’m here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?” After saying this, Rabbit jumped up and kicked Alain, who started spitting mouthfuls of blood. Alain was strong in his own right, so there was no way he would be helpless against an attack. However, he simply could not resist Rabbit and could only suffer a beating. The guild members in the surroundings closed their eyes, feeling sorry for their guild leader. No one thought they could win th
It seemed that Alain had overestimated his importance. “Hey, wait a minute. Don't be so hasty. I just want to think about how to make things better. You should know that things are not as simple as you think. If I agree so easily, others might target me.” The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alain’s flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. “I thought you wouldn’t consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.” The hooded man smiled calmly as if mocking Alain from the bottom of his heart. Although Alain was being ridiculed, he could not say a word. The hooded man held the reins, so Alain had no choice but to obey. “I don’t mind this cooperation, but we need to plan this thoroughly. If you can help my guild to make a comeback in this competition, I can agree to your condition. Since you found me, you should know the trouble my guild is facing right now. Philip and his people are messing with us, and the Celestial Palace is keepi
Alain was a smart man and quickly grasped the key point. It seemed that this man was here to help him. “Tell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If you’re here to help me, let’s have an open discussion.” Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. “I know that your guild is facing a crisis. I can help you with that. I can get rid of all your problems and also ensure that your guild scores victory. Although I can't guarantee that you’ll win the championship, taking one of the top spots won’t be a problem.” The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this man’s offer to help him. At a moment of crisis, it was every man for himself. Right now, no one was willing to help him or lend a helping hand. Alain thought that this was too much of a coincidence. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?” Alain knew that
