Philip glared at Steven and asked coldly, “You already knew she was in Dunham?” Steven smiled and said, “Don't be angry, Mr. Clarke. I just got the information too. The person you’re looking for did appear in the underground trading market in Dunham, but she left in a hurry. My people got some shots of her but they were thrown off the trail when they tried to chase after the two women.” With that said, Steven took out his phone and pulled up the photos sent by his subordinates. Philip glanced through the photos. There was a black limousine and two women getting down from the car. A charming woman took the lead, and Philip confirmed at first glance that it was Margot Pearson! Behind her was a woman in a mask. She was covered from top to toe and was well-protected by the bodyguards. However, she seemed to notice something and glanced at the hidden camera. With that look, Philip recognized her at first glance! Hannah Clarke! It was definitely Hannah! Steven looked at Phi
Philip and Moses stepped to one side. Philip said coldly, “What is it? Just spit it out. I don’t think I have much to do with your Dunley family anyway.” Moses smiled and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, you’re still as haughty as ever. I’ll cut to the chase, then. My uncle’s source of kingship should be in your body now, right?” “Spencer Dunley?” Philip frowned. Moses shrugged and said with a smile, “Young Patriarch Clarke, don’t be nervous. I’m not denouncing you or asking for anything on behalf of my fourth uncle. He just told me to pass you a message.” “What is it?” Philip asked. Moses sighed and said, “Uncle Spencer wants to tell you not to be obsessed with the power or spiritual enhancement brought by the source of kingship. Once you get addicted to it, it’s hard to get out. The power of kingship is a conspiracy and a chess game. Uncle Spencer hopes that you can see through the core and essence of the source of kingship and break this game. External forces, after all, a
More than a dozen assassins stood in the hall and exchanged glances with each other. The strength displayed by Fennel really shocked them! In just one move, a disciple from the third zone was killed! Powerful! Too strong! This must be at least the strength of the fourth zone! However, the bounty mission did not specify that the target was a disciple from the fourth zone! Damn it! There must be a problem with this bounty mission. It had sent them to their deaths! At once, the remaining assassins from the third zone backed away, looked at each other, and dared not step forward. Only a few assassins had reached the peak of the fourth zone. At this moment, their expressions were indifferent as they glanced at their dead companion on the floor with a disdainful smile. One of them was a tall, dark disciple with muscles all over his body, just like a gorilla. He stepped forward, squeezed his fists tightly together, laughed disdainfully, and said, “Very good. I didn't e
No one expected such a shocking scene. Outside the window, the tanned man at the peak of the fourth zone had his entire arm destroyed. Even half of his body was scorched black by Fennel’s tremendous power! Too strong! Another blow that killed a disciple at the peak of the fourth zone! How powerful was this guy exactly? This bounty mission was completely beyond their expectations! This was a mission that would kill them! In an instant, the remaining assassin disciples thought of running away. There was no other choice. This was just like a fight between an adult and children. Fennel flexed his hand and said with a smile, “Next, all of you can come at once.” The assassin disciples looked at each other, and some of them turned to run away. However, some of them turned their attention to Philip, who was still sitting on the sofa calmly. Damn it! They must at least kill one to deliver the mission! Moreover, by the looks of it, the man on the sofa seemed powerless
The remaining killers were horrified when they saw Fennel's innocent smile! What did he mean by that? His lab was lacking a batch of guinea pigs? Instantly, this group of people went crazy! This must be the devil himself! They must escape! Immediately after, the killers desperately tried to escape, but they were facing the Sun God, Fennel Leigh! In less than a minute, the killers were taken down and fell to the ground groaning! Fennel did not kill them because he still had use for them. Soon, Hans received the order and rushed to the manor with his fully armed team to bring the group of disciples back. Philip stood in the manor, looked at the sky, and said to Fennel who walked up behind him, “This bounty mission seems quite interesting.” Fennel smiled and said, “Do you want to issue a mission too?” Philip chuckled and said, “Since the other party used such a lousy trick, why shouldn’t I?” Then, Philip said, “I’ll offer 100 million dollars. The mission is to at
Of course, the person who issued the bounty mission was not made known. The moment the mission appeared, it sent shockwaves through the entire Western underworld! Someone actually dared to face a sacred hall head-on! It was the Hall of Evil at that! In a flash, dozens of strongholds that issued bounty missions throughout the Western underworld exploded! The contents of the bounty mission quickly spread throughout the dark underworld in the West! “Holy sh*t! Look at this bounty mission!” “Whoa! Attack and kill the Hall of Evil! 100,000 for injuring one, and one million for killing one! Killing a great envoy is worth ten million, while Evil God Vataco’s life is worth 500 million!” “Crazy! Who is targeting the Hall of Evil? It’s such a large sum of money, oh my!” A group of assassins stood in front of the bounty mission wall of a certain stronghold with incredulous expressions. This was an underground bounty mission stronghold in Sendona located in an abandoned undergr
Who exactly was targeting a sacred hall behind the scenes? That was the Hall of Evil for heaven’s sake! It was an old customer of the underground bounty trade. Now, the Hall of Evil had actually become the bounty target in the eyes of others, which was enough to shake the entire Western underground bounty market! Kooka looked nervous and quickly dialed a mysterious number with his satellite phone. After the call was connected, a languid female voice with a hint of unhappiness came from the other line. “Kooka, why are you calling me at this late hour? Has the bounty mission issued earlier been completed?” Kooka sweated profusely from anxiety and said, “Envoy Evelyn, something is wrong!” On the other end of the phone, the languid female voice said solemnly, “What’s wrong?” Kooka quickly said, “It's a bounty mission. Someone issued a new bounty mission through an internal channel against the Hall of Evil!” “Oh, is that so? That sounds really interesting.” On the other
Kooka almost went crazy! How was he supposed to investigate? His level of authority was simply insufficient. Moreover, Kooka immediately thought of the remaining 11 sacred halls when he thought about who had such great courage and financial resources to directly target the Hall of Evil like this. Thus, Kooka only stammered, “Lord Evelyn, I can try my best, but my authority isn’t enough for me to take on this task.” Evelyn wanted to say something else when suddenly, the manor's alarm blared. There were sounds of fighting outside and even blazing fire! Boom, boom, boom! More than a dozen cannonballs fell like fireworks from the air into the manor. They immediately detonated with loud explosions! Rat-tat-tat! It was immediately followed by rapid gunshots! Evelyn panicked, and the guards in the hall rushed out while shouting, “Lord Envoy, let's go! It's the bounty hunters! They’re rushing in!” “What?” Evelyn was dumbfounded! How long had it been? How could these p
“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
