Suddenly, he saw the sneer on Shane’s face, and a sense of crisis that welled up from the depths of his soul came from above his head! Philip looked up and saw the same figure right above his head with the dazzling silver longsword stabbing at the top of his head! Philip had no time to think at all. He unleashed all the energy and the power of rules in his body as he raised his hand. He struck out a longsword formed by compressed air, which collided with the silver longsword in Shane’s hand! Clang! A crisp sound resounded through the place! Philip was knocked out by the sword energy of the silver longsword in Shane's hand and fell from the air! The longsword in his hand also disintegrated in a flash! However, he got his life back! Boom! Philip crashed into the ground and blasted a huge pit! When the dust settled, he jumped up from the pit and stared fixedly at Shane, who slowly landed on the opposite side. He was still as calm as ever as if everything was within h
After he said that, Shane’s aura suddenly changed, becoming extremely harsh and cold! It was as if he was merely testing and playing with Philip previously. Philip looked solemn because he clearly felt the energy pressure from Shane! As well as the interference of that rule power that he could not fathom! It was another power that suppressed the rules again! It was no wonder he always felt one realm lower than Shane. It turned out that it was not that Philip was too weak but the rule power of the other party was suppressing his realm! Philip felt a foreboding. If this continued, he would eventually lose! Be it combat experience, his current realm, or Shane’s rule power that Philip could not figure out, all of them made Philip feel the pressure! No wonder Fennel said that Shane was not weaker than him. He was definitely a tough opponent! Boom! Suddenly, Shane launched an attack with the silver longsword, aiming straight for Philip’s heart! At the same time, the
Biff, bang, thud! Every punch landed on the flesh! Clink, clank, clunk! Shane’s every sword struck Philip’s tough metallic armor! However, under Shane’s ferocious attack, Philip could not hold on either! Bam! Another kick! Philip was sent flying by Shane again and fell heavily to the ground. His arms went numb! The other party’s attack was so fierce that he could hardly block it even with his arms covered in metallic armor! Philip coughed violently and bled from his mouth. He stood up from the ground, and the flames in his eyes burned brighter. Shane frowned as he looked at Philip who stood up again. The fighting intent in his eyes turned deadly. He swung the silver longsword in his hand and said coldly, “Why can't you just fall down and obediently wait for me to kill you? Why do you have to stand back up? If this is the case, you’ll suffer.” Philip snorted, his eyes full of fighting spirit as he said, “You’re the one who’ll fall.” Shane shook his head, his
These guards held iron chains made of special material and rushed over from all directions. They threw the chains into the air, which formed a net! “Seize!” Eight people stood in eight directions and bellowed as they pulled on one end of the iron chains. Buzz! Instantly, the net formed by the iron chains dazzled with brilliant red light! In the middle, Shane was entrapped in the iron net and roared angrily, “Kill! Damn them all!” With a roar, he jumped into the sky, grabbed an iron chain, and pulled it violently! The guard lost his balance and flew toward Shane! Puff! Shane raised his hand, and the silver longsword in his hand pierced through the guard in the chest! Boom! After that, he grabbed the neck of the guard who had been pierced through his chest and tossed him out violently. The guard’s body crashed heavily into another guard! In an instant, this suppression formation failed to work! Shane went on a killing spree, and miserable screams resounded in th
Back at Fennel’s private manor, Steven and the rest had been waiting for a while. “Strategist, when will the boss return? Does he need our help? I say we should just rush over!” Hans was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof. The Strategist stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, and his eyes were unfathomable. He looked at Georgina who was sitting on the sofa fiddling with the computer and asked, “Have you hacked your way in?” Georgina said solemnly, “It's a little difficult. The core firewall of the Lovelace family is built by three computer experts and isn’t something that can be cracked in a short time. However, I’ve already cracked the firewall of their laboratory. The research materials about Miss Johnston will be sorted out immediately.” After Georgina finished speaking, several guards rushed in from the door and said with a bow, “Strategist, the four bases of the Lovelace family are all empty as if they knew we would go over. Moreover, they were full of mi
The real Lovelace family? Hearing this, Philip’s face darkened. He frowned, looked at Georgina, and asked, “Have you gotten the location?” Georgina nodded and said, “Yes, but their IP locations change every ten minutes, and many of them are fake. I need to process them to confirm the real IP location.” “How long will it take?” Philip asked. Georgina frowned and said, “At least two days if I do it without alerting the other party. They have three computer experts on their side, and the firewall is very strong with many programs running that I’ve never seen before. If the other party finds out, then we’ll lose this opportunity. The other party is likely to delete all information belonging to Miss Johnston.” After hearing Georgina's words, Philip scowled. He glanced at Fennel before saying, “Okay, I trust you.” Georgina nodded and quickly operated the computer. The Strategist stepped forward and said to Fennel, “Boss, the four underground bases of the Lovelace family in Se
Philip thought about it and said, “Let’s take the usual route and contact the Underground Bounty Society. We’ll place a mission to get rid of Leo’s people. In addition, I can also support the Underground Bounty Society in becoming the new god.” After Philip finished speaking, Fennel’s face became more solemn as he asked, “Are you sure you want to do this? The Underground Bounty Society and the Lovelace family are two major forces. If the Lovelace family finds out that you’re supporting the Underground Bounty Society behind the scenes, they may take action against Wynn.” Philip said, “No, they won’t. The Lovelace family won’t dare to do anything to Wynn right now.” After a moment of silence, Fennel said, “Okay, I'll contact the Underground Bounty Society.” After saying that, Fennel got up and walked out of the hall. About half an hour later, Fennel returned and was followed by three people. They were none other than the three giants of the Underground Bounty Society—Marquis
Now, after hearing Philip’s plan, Marquis Ron fell into deep thought. He said hesitantly, “Young Patriarch Clarke, I’m afraid I can’t decide on this matter. You should know that the boss behind the Underground Bounty Society is Lord Amos. He once warned us not to interfere in the fight for the chief god. If our Underground Bounty Society intervenes but Lord Leo gets the position of chief god, the Underground Bounty Society will definitely suffer from bloodshed. This is not what Lord Amos wants to happen.” After hearing Marquis Ron's concern, Philip chuckled and said, “Marquis Ron, do you think that Amos will lose?” When Marquis Ron heard this, his eyes flickered. He looked at Philip and asked, “Young Patriarch Clarke, what do you mean?” Philip smiled and said, “Marquis Ron, just think about it. Once Amos becomes the chief god and the Underground Bounty Society becomes the new god, who will dare to point fingers at you when the time comes? Do you still need to remain underground
“So, you can forget about recruiting Philip. He’s someone I value highly. It’ll be great if he can help us through this crisis. But he’s a man with his own agenda, so he probably won’t give in to us so easily. Anyway, our priority is to gain Philip's trust and trick him into joining us. I believe that won’t be too difficult for our people.” At this point, Brett pointed to the depths of the room to emphasize his meaning. Heath saw this and nodded in silent approval. “I’ll leave it to you. Just handle it properly and make no mistakes. We need to get it done before the demons arrive.” After saying that, Heath rushed back to his room for some reason. Brett received the patriarch's order and went to a woman’s bedroom door. He tore off a seal and opened the door. “Dear sister, congratulations on regaining your freedom. It’s time for you to contribute to the family. You’ll be free once you get it done.” Brett spoke in a condescending tone as if the person in front of him was not
“I've always heard that the Spade family is very powerful, and I can see now that it’s well-deserved. I always thought that the Spade family was on par with the Swift family, but now, it seems that they can't hold a candle to you!” Philip praised the Spade family generously. The two members of the Spade family looked very excited and surprised by Philip’s eloquence. They welcomed people who praised their family. “That’s very nice of you. Are you here to speak to us about cooperation?” Heath knew that Philip wanted to work with them, so he moved to the topic. “Yes, my stand is very clear. I’m going to deal with the Swift family, so I want to confirm some details with you. If there’s no problem, I’ll take action.” They quickly started the discussion. Philip came fully prepared and displayed his concern over this matter. They had a better understanding of each other after the chat. Heath approved of Philip and found that he was a rare talent just as he had imagined. “Since tha
After Philip rescued Liram, Brett was still looking for Liram everywhere. After taking care of things, Philip met up with Loony and returned to the reception room as if nothing had happened, acting calm and composed. Loony glanced at Philip and hesitated to speak. He knew that this was no time to speak. “I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. Please have some tea. This is the best tea we have.” A maid walked in and poured some tea for Philip. It seemed that she did not notice that Philip and Loony had left earlier. Philip nodded with satisfaction at her reaction. This maid would be their best witness. Brett never dreamed that he would lose Liram. He walked around the garden in annoyance, trying to find a trace of Liram. He had to take care of this no matter what. No one knew whether the intruders earlier were friend or foe. If the secret of the Spade family was exposed because of it, the reputation they built over the years would be ruined. At this time, he bumped into the
“Liram, I told you not to trust anyone easily, but you didn’t listen to me. In that case, I have to prove my words to you. You weren't wrong to make friends with me, but your problem is knowing too much. How can an outsider know the secrets of our family?” Brett said vehemently. Brett was sincere about making friends with Liram, but he discovered the secrets of his family by accident. The Spade family had always been very prestigious, so no one was allowed to find out such dark secrets about them. “My family has a good reputation in the outside world. It would've been bad if you exposed everything. As the heir of the family, I have to protect our reputation,” Brett said calmly. He did not think it was a pity to kill his friend. “You should feel lucky that you can make some contributions to my family while you can.” Philip roughly understood the situation. Brett had brought his friend here to kill him. What a jerk. At this time, Philip approached Liram and whispered in his e
Brett had used a secret technique to skin the victim alive previously. The man trembled at the thought and was caught in a dilemma. “I don’t know! I didn’t see anything!” He struggled while the other prisoners looked at him with conflicted emotions. It was time to make human puppets, and Brett would use them for experiments. They would probably be the next victims. Thinking of this, everyone looked at each other, and their previous confidence vanished into thin air. “If I tell you, will you let me go?” A bizarre cynocephaly with a dog’s head and human body spoke up. Brett laughed and said, “I knew something was wrong. Since you refuse to speak, I’ll let others tell the truth. I want to see what’s going on.” Brett grabbed the cynocephaly out. The other party prostrated on the floor, looking weak and powerless. “Promise me that you’ll let me go once I tell you everything!” Brett nodded at his pious look. “No problem.” The cynocephaly was excited at Brett’s promise
The other party simply looked at Loony indifferently without responding. Suddenly, Philip’s ear wiggled. He heard something. “Eat this. Someone's coming.” Philip stuffed a pill into Loony's mouth and pulled him into a corner to hide. He heard someone coming from the depths of the cellar. The man who spoke to them heard the movement and shut his mouth. The other prisoners remained silent as well. At this time, a familiar person appeared in front of Philip. It was none other than Brett. This Brett was different from the Brett Philip knew. This one looked sinister and cunning. Philip recalled the Brett he met yesterday. He was elegant and seemed like a trustworthy man at a glance. He was shocked to see this difference in just one day. “I’m ready to create my second human puppet. Does anyone want to volunteer your body?” Brett said with a vicious smile. In everyone’s eyes, he looked no different from the devil. “I have a special preference for humans. In that case, I’ll
“That must be it. Let’s take a look.” Philip pointed to the entrance of the cellar, and Loony shook his head in fear. “I have some knowledge of geomancy, and my gut is telling me that we should avoid that place. We may easily lose our lives there.” The cellar entrance looked very scary, so he refused to step inside. Philip could not be bothered. They were very close to finding the truth. They might miss the opportunity forever if they gave up right now. Hence, Philip dragged Loony into the cellar. Before Loony knew what was going on, he felt his vision go black, and he appeared in the cellar in the next second. He shook his head at Philip’s manhandling, shocked that Philip refused to listen to him. “It’ll be a disaster if we rush in recklessly.” Loony glanced at Philip helplessly. Although disappointed about Philip's distrust in him, it was useless to say anymore now that they were in the cellar. They should figure out how to leave. “With the gusts of cold wind, this
“Let’s go right now. I can’t wait to figure out the situation.” Loony forgot all about breakfast and pulled Philip out of the room. He shuddered when he walked past Hercules. He was afraid of this puppet from the bottom of his heart. Philip simply moved along without a word. He was afraid that Loony would let the cat out of the bag. Philip felt that Loony had exposed them because of his fear. “Philip, where are you going? Can you take me with you?” Aslan said in fear. He trembled all over at the thought of Hercules’ spooky gaze. He just wanted to follow Philip and leave this scary place. “Just stay here for now. If anything happens later, I'll inform you to take care of it.” It was the best time to leave them alone together. Philip would never take Aslan with him. Aslan was in despair to hear that he had to stay behind. As Philip marched away, Aslan gritted his teeth and went into Lyle's room as if he wanted to chat with him, but he was actually seeking refuge. Herc
Aslan felt that he was going nuts. He never thought he would meet someone so scary. That guy was torturing him mentally. “Your eyebags are really heavy,” Philip suddenly commented. Aslan was certainly scared out of his wits. Something was definitely up with that human puppet, but Philip did not intend to tell Aslan the truth yet. “I’ve decided not to sleep. Let’s see what that guy is up to!” Practitioners could go without sleeping for a long time but as humans, they had the habit of resting at fixed times. Philip shook his head at Aslan’s reaction. He could tell that Aslan would suffer immensely, but he had to sacrifice this poor guy to get to the bottom of this. “I’m off.” Aslan tossed the quilt to one side and walked out. The moment he opened the door, Philip heard him gasp. He looked out of the door curiously and saw Hercules standing outside, staring at Aslan oddly. “Dude, what’s your problem? Will you die if you don't peek at others?” Aslan said in annoyance. He
