“Am I not even allowed to laugh now?” Philip raised his hands, shook the electronic handcuffs in his hands, and said, “I already have these on and I’m still not allowed to laugh? Are you afraid that I’ll escape and get back at you?” Hearing this, Mandy laughed uproariously and said, “Interesting. Get back at me? I heard from Junior Commander Weiss that you used to be a soldier. It seems that the arrogance of a soldier has not been extinguished from you. If possible, I’d love to have you join me as a bodyguard.” Philip shrugged and said disdainfully, “No thanks, because you won’t have that chance. From the moment you brought me in, you and I are already enemies. Moreover, I can tell you clearly that no matter who stands behind you and no matter what status you have in that Nonagon, in my opinion, there’s nothing for me to fear.” Upon hearing this, Mandy instantly got angry! “What did you just say? Are you defying me?” Mandy smiled grimly and coldly. She had wanted to put a lit
Suddenly, a figure full of killing intent, like the Grim Reaper from hell, walked into the secret room with his hands in his pants pockets. When Ethan saw Philip with his hands cuffed at this moment, deep anger crossed the corners of his eyes as he stared intently at the men in combat uniforms! “Release my brother from the handcuffs!” Ethan said coldly with indomitable pressure. The men in combat uniforms gasped aloud when they turned around and saw Ethan standing behind them. This man was the most difficult and terrifying guy in the entire stronghold! He held the title of Battle Maniac here! They still remembered back then when Ethan used his own power to defeat all the guards here before he walked into Warehouse 8 amid the shocked and incredulous gazes of everyone. He fought his way in here. Even after the supreme commander learned about the seriousness of the matter and rushed over to meet Ethan, he could not do anything. He only left a warning—no one should mess
Ethan lowered his eyes and looked at the man who had a pained expression on his face. He said coldly, “You’re not my opponent.” After that, he loosened his hold and the man breathed a sigh of relief. Holding his broken right fist, his eyes tensed with fear! Immediately after, Ethan looked at the other two men in combat uniforms and asked, “Do you want to have a go?” The two men in combat uniforms exchanged a glance and immediately attacked with a punch and a kick! Ethan shook his head helplessly and said, “What a nuisance. I really hate your relentless attitudes.” With that said, he stepped forward and made his move. He grabbed one of the men’s punches and directly twisted their arm at a 90-degree angle! Crack! The man in uniform looked to be in pain but still endured it. He quickly drew a dagger from his left leg with his left hand and stabbed it at Ethan’s chest! However, Ethan seemed to have predicted his move. He raised his other hand, stretched out two fingers, and
“What about Chloe Sommerset? Have you cleared things up?” Ethan asked again with a nosy look on his face. Philip frowned. It had been a while since he saw Chloe. He wondered what she was doing recently and if she was well. He turned his head, leaned on Ethan to walk out of the secret chamber one step at a time, and said, “You talk too much. I’ll get Uncle Tim to propose marriage to the Joo family later!” Ethan wanted to cry when he heard that and quickly admitted his mistake, “Okay, I’ll shut up.” However, before the two brothers had gotten far, more than a dozen heavily armed men in combat uniforms came rushing along this corridor! Clang! In front of the brothers, a row of men in battle uniforms dropped their anti-riot shields to the ground! Behind them were three rows of heavily armed soldiers in uniforms and helmets. They were either standing or crouching with guns in their hands! Hal Weiss stood behind these people. With a grim expression on his face, he said angril
George almost fell off from his director’s chair in fright. He quickly asked with a smile, “Miss Johnston, how may I help you? Did something happen to Mr. Clarke?” Wynn nodded and said anxiously, “Yes, Philip has been taken away by some people in combat uniforms ten minutes ago. I’m worried about his safety, so I called you. Mr. Thomas, do you have a way to find out who took my husband away? No matter what the other party demands, I’ll fulfill it as long as they don’t hurt my husband.” While saying that, Wynn was already crying from distress. George’s mind was buzzing loudly now! “What? Young Master has been taken away? Who’s the other party?” George slapped his desk and stood up angrily. “Y-Young Master?” Wynn was stunned speechless and asked, “Mr. Thomas, what did you just say?” At this moment, George realized he had a slip of the tongue. He quickly thought of an excuse to brush it off and said, “Oh, you must have misheard me. I was asking who took Mr. Clarke away. Do y
At this moment, George was full of anger as he sat in the chairman's office of his newly established group building. Not long after, the secretary walked in. “Mr. Thomas, the president of Harper Group from aboard, Mr. Chris, has arrived at our group's conference room and has been waiting for ten minutes. Do you want to go down and meet him first?” the secretary asked. George was obviously not in the mood to entertain the president of Harper Group now. He waved his hand and said coldly, “Let him wait!” The secretary did not know why the chairman was suddenly so angry, but the status and power of this group abroad were not that simple. In particular, President Chris was a member of the 12 Sacred Halls of the West in Country M. His position was indeed not low. It might be a little inappropriate to leave someone like him waiting. Thus, the female secretary cautiously asked, “Mr. Thomas, how long should he wait? He came here this time with a letter of intent for cooperation. He ha
Garth Santos was flustered as well. Although he was almost 60 years old, when he heard that voice, he still immediately put the receiver to his ear and said respectfully, “Supreme Williams, what are your orders?” Phew! After saying this, Garth gasped inwardly. The supreme! Although Supreme Williams was only 40, his accomplishments and feats were already enough to shake the world—past and present! No one could rock his title as the first supreme in the territory! However, why was Supreme Williams calling him so suddenly? Could it be that something big had happened in Southridge or Charbury? “Garth Santos, one of my Dragon Warriors has been taken away by someone from the Internal Combat Division Investigation Bureau under your jurisdiction. You need to give me an explanation,” Reed Williams said coldly. Garth was taken aback and immediately felt his scalp tingling! Someone under his jurisdiction actually captured a Dragon Warrior established by Supreme Williams? How
Mac almost went crazy. What the hell was this bunch of people doing? How dare they touch someone from the Dragon Warriors? Was that not fooling around in the lion’s den? “Mr. Santos, don't worry. I’ll deal with this matter immediately. Please wait for my call!” After a few words from Mac, Garth hung up angrily. Mac was now full of cold sweat. He immediately said to his guard, “Connect me to Hal Weiss at once. I want to know what that kid has been up to!” Mac was about to explode with anger! District 12 of the Internal Combat Division Investigation Bureau was under the responsibility of his capable subordinate, Hal Weiss! He had battle honors at such a young age and was promoted to the rank of junior commander! Soon, the call was connected. Mac’s face was cold and his tone was angry as he roared, “Hal Weiss, who the hell did you arrest just now? Do you know how much trouble you've caused?” At this moment, Hal was confronting Ethan Clarke in the dim corridor. When he sudd
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
The hooded man was very interested in Rabbit and wanted to make contact with him to find out more about him. He quickly found Philip’s house and was surprised to find that it was surrounded by a barrier that blocked all his perceptions, which made him conflicted. It was not a place he could enter at will. He felt some energy fluctuations from formations too. If he was not mistaken, entering this place would be dangerous for him. After much deliberation, he turned around and left without staying any longer. His visit here was enough to verify his guess. Since Philip could come up with such a powerful formation and barrier, he was certainly a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, Philip was not someone he could deal with so easily. As for Rabbit, the hooded man was not bothered by him at all. He just wanted to know how Philip subdued such a powerful pet. The hooded man had dealt with many monster beasts in the past but failed to subdue any. He had even suffered badly un
“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
