On the way, Philip and Fennel were each escorted into a modified Cadillac armored car and flanked by two fully armed SPEAR Bureau guards on both sides. If they made any movement, these people would shoot them on the spot! This was the order from their superiors! Philip sat upright with a bemused expression, his mind racing as he thought about who could be targeting him. As soon as he landed, he was taken away by the SPEAR Bureau. No matter what, someone must be behind this. “Which unit do you belong to? Who is your superior?” Philip asked. The two guards escorting Philip did not answer his questions. The man in the front passenger seat, wearing a black suit with black sunglasses, said with a laugh, “You'll know when you arrive, Mr. Clarke. Enjoy your final moments.” “Do you know me?” Philip asked. He actually knew the last name Clarke. The man just laughed without another word. On Fennel’s side, he also tried to dig for information but it was to no avail. This m
She looked at Old Kern with bewildered eyes and said, “Old Kern, think of something quickly. Why are Philip and the rest arrested? How could they do this to them without reason?” Old Kern was also very helpless and said with a sigh, “Miss, I’ve already asked about this matter and used all my contacts in Sendona to get you released. Your friends are people targeted by the SPEAR Bureau and can’t be released for the time being. It’s said that they need to go through a detailed investigation.” “What’s there to investigate? We just entered this country and haven’t done anything. I don’t care. You must find someone to get them out!” Vivi stomped her feet angrily. Old Kern was helpless and could only continue making calls. However, everyone who received Old Kern’s call advised him not to interfere and ended the call. Thus, this entire case seemed shrouded in mystery. Back to Philip’s side. At this moment, he was sitting in a brightly lit chamber. The hood on his head was taken
Immediately, someone presented the data about Fennel, but the content was very brief. The corners of Rikes' eyes turned cold as he asked, “Is there no other information?” The subordinate behind him shook his head and said, “No.” Rikes looked at the blonde woman and asked, “Any monitoring data?” The blonde woman shook her head as well and said, “No. He doesn’t seem to have any disciple energy fluctuations in him. He’s just like a normal person.” “A normal person?” Rikes sneered and said, “Impossible. Get a few people to go in and play with him.” After that, someone arranged for three tattooed prisoners in orange vests to enter the secret room where Fennel was. The three prisoners were all burly guys and half a head taller than Fennel. They were more than twice as brawny as him. As soon as they entered the chamber, they approached Fennel, who was sitting down, with ill intentions. The bald guy in the lead approached Fennel arrogantly and said with a sneer, “Hey, stupi
The other party’s back crashed into the black glass wall! Crack! The entire black glass wall cracked as if it was going to shatter. The burly man fell to the ground and rolled around in pain. With just that kick, he felt that several ribs were broken. When the remaining burly man saw that both his buddies had fallen, he panicked and was frightened. He put on a fighting stance and looked around. Swish! Suddenly, he drew a dagger from his waist, held it in his hand, and yelled, “F*ck! Go to hell!” Seeing the dagger stabbing toward his chest, Fennel reached out with two fingers. Clang! With his two fingers, he clamped the incoming dagger. The burly foreigner was completely shocked! He actually clamped the dagger with two fingers? This was horrifying! Was he still human? Was this martial arts? Immediately after, in the next second, Fennel moved his finger and broke the dagger crisply. At the same time, he kicked the burly man in the stomach, sending him fl
Soon, the female envoy followed Rikes to the glass wall where Philip was. Talina looked at Philip who was sitting in the secret room with an indifferent expression and asked Rikes, “His details.” Rikes quickly and respectfully took out the information about Philip. He said, “His name is Philip Clarke from Orienta. According to the investigation, he’s the son-in-law of a small family in Riverdale, the Johnston family. His wife, Wynn Johnston, owns a pharmaceutical company called Beacon Group. The company has recently been planning to develop a branch in our country. He also has two kids. According to the current monitoring data, he should possess the strength of a disciple in the third zone.” Talina looked at the information in her hands and asked with a frown, “Is that all? Nothing else?” Rikes shook his head and said, “My lord, this is all the information we could find out about him so far.” Talina nodded and put the document down. She crossed her arms and looked at Philip s
Impossible! At this time, in the room, Fennel approached the remaining disciple. With a face full of anger, a tall disciple roared, “F*ck, I’m going to crush you!” After saying that, that guy's figure suddenly swelled and became bigger, just like the Hulk. His head reached the ceiling of this secret room. His body was full of bulging muscles like blocks of hard rocks! A stone giant! “Go to hell, you stupid pig!” The disciple threw a punch at Fennel. However, Fennel merely glanced at him in contempt before he raised his hand nonchalantly and caught the stone giant’s fist! Boom! The collision caused a muffled explosion, and a huge burst of pressure suddenly scattered in the secret room! The instruments and equipment outside quickly analyzed the monitoring data! The disciple power of the second zone! However, it was from the disciple they had sent over! The crowd outside was filled with shock and disbelief as they looked inside the secret room at the man who ha
With a cold face, Talina looked at Fennel resentfully and said, “You’re not worthy to talk to me about human rights! Catch him!” In an instant, this group of fully armed guards rushed at Fennel. Under such circumstances, a normal person would definitely kneel down and beg for mercy. After all, there were so many heavily armed guards and those special intelligence agents in black combat uniforms who only ever appeared in Hollywood movies. However, Fennel merely sneered and said, “You just want to see how strong I am. Why go through so much trouble?” With that said, Fennel moved! In everyone's line of sight, they saw a figure with flickering red lights! Then, the sound of wailing and screaming could be heard throughout the long corridor! In one face-off, heavily armed guards of the SPEAR Bureau fell to the floor! These people were knocked unconscious without even knowing what went on! Fennel had shown mercy. After all, he was not in the country now, so he had to show
Seven foreigners of different builds—tall and short, male and female, fat and thin—arrived. As soon as they appeared, they carried invincible auras with them! Fennel looked over and immediately judged from their auras that these seven people were mainly disciples of the third zone. Three of whom had even reached the strength of the fourth zone! There was one with the peak strength of the fourth zone! Such combat power would form a very strong squad in the disciple world of any country! They were enough to destroy a battalion of 10,000 soldiers! Hehe. Fennel snorted as he looked at the seven disciples and said, “Wow, what a big lineup. Is this your show of hospitality? Beautiful, isn't it a bit too much?” Talina revealed a smile that was enough to make any men submit and said, “Since you know to be afraid now, put your hands on your head and kneel down. Let me adore you tonight.” Talina was a very forthright and outspoken woman. Thus, whatever she wanted, she would a
“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
