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
“Are things settled?” Garth asked coldly. Mac breathed heavily and said, “Mr. Santos, the subordinates are being a little disobedient. I’m going there in person. Don't worry, I’ll take care of it!” Hearing that, Garth frowned and said, “Okay, give me the address. I’ll handle it personally.” Instantly, Mac was dumbfounded! The grand commander wanted to deal with it personally! This was getting serious! How many grand commanders were there in the country? Which one of them was not a hero who had shed blood on the battlefield and carved a name in history? Which one of them had not shed their blood bravely for the country? In other words, Mr. Santos was a living legend! Mac dared not say anything. He could only recite the address dutifully before saying to the guard next to him, “Bring some people to Songfield immediately without a moment’s delay!” “Yes!” Urgent mobilization order! To Songfield at top speed! … Back to Ethan’s side. With an indifferent face, his
At Hal’s command, all the soldiers loaded their weapons! By this time, the discomfort in Philip’s body had also dissipated. He slowly straightened his back, got up, and walked behind Ethan. He gently patted his shoulder and said, “I’ll do it.” Seeing that his cousin seemed to have recovered, Ethan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “It’s okay, I can deal with these small potatoes with one hand.” Philip did not refute but smiled and said, “You’re still with the Dragon Warriors and under the teacher’s command. There are some things that you can't intervene in. It won’t be good for your future development. I’ll take care of it.” With that said, Philip did not care if Ethan agreed but stood in front of him directly. With a firm gaze, he looked at Hal coldly and asked, “I have two questions for you. Who instigated you?” Hal did not hide the information and replied directly, “Miss Una.” “Who’s Miss Una?” Philip asked. “She’s not someone you can inquire about. If y
“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
