This confrontation caused the temperature in the lobby to plummet by more than 10 degrees! Everyone could feel the sparks in the air! The bodyguards brought by Dragon King Well were fully prepared for battle and put their hands on their waists. Fennel and the others also stared at these bodyguards solemnly. In the end, Dragon King Well chuckled and said, “As expected of the young patriarch of the Clarke family. You’re bold and assertive. I hope you can still have such confidence when we meet next time.” Philip smiled lightly and said, “I hope that you can still be a Dragon King when we meet again too.” With that said, Dragon King Well turned to leave with his people. However, when he walked to the door, Dragon King Well said meaningfully, “If you want to know the base of the Lovelace family in Mystic City, bring Dumbo Lane to exchange for the information. I welcome you anytime.” After that, Dragon King Well left with his people. Philip stood in the lobby and stared at
“Dumbo Lane, to tell you the truth, Dragon King Well has made an exchange for you with one condition. You’re very lucky,” Philip said. Hearing that, Dumbo immediately shook off the two guards, laughed arrogantly, and said, “Hahaha, I knew that Dragon King Well would definitely save me! “Young Patriarch Clarke, you’re quite smart.” After Dumbo said that, Philip kicked him and sent him crashing to the ground! Thud! In an instant, the two guards pressed their guns to Dumbo’s head. Dumbo’s face was full of pain as he roared angrily, “Young Patriarch Clarke, how dare you treat me like this? Aren’t you afraid that Dragon King Well will pursue this?” Philip chuckled and said, “Dumbo, you don't seem to understand what I said. I said that Dragon King Well has to fulfill one condition of mine in exchange for you. Do you understand?” Hiss! Dumbo finally understood, and he was dumbfounded. How could this be? However, Philip did not bother to give Dumbo the time to think. He s
Dragon King Well was startled before he laughed and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, you really hit the nail on the head.” After that, he signaled his subordinates to retreat. The entire side hall was left with just Dragon King Well and Philip. Dragon King Well motioned for Philip to sit down and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, there’s no grudge between us, so we can sit down and have a good talk.” Philip raised his eyebrows and said with a shrug, “What are you trying to say? There's no one else here, so let's get straight to the point.” Dragon King Well smiled, pushed his glasses, and said, “I really like your forthright personality. It's very simple. I want to work with you. You help me get what I want, and I'll tell you what you want to know.” Philip frowned, thought about it, and asked, “How can you be sure that I want to work with you?” Dragon King Well leaned back lazily, took a sip of tea, and said, “Because I, Windsor Well, may be the only person in the entire Mystic C
Windsor got up and said, “It's very simple. I need your help to obtain the treasure of the ancient sage at the Mystic Cave Treasure Digging Event that’ll be held in seven days.” Treasure Digging Event? Philip frowned in confusion. As if he had expected it, Windsor explained, “This time, everyone knows that the treasure of the ancient sage has appeared in Mystic City, and a storm is brewing with countless forces and families flocking here. Everyone wants to compete for the treasure, and I’m no exception.” “Then how can you be sure that I don't want to compete for it too?” Philip asked. Windsor said with a smile, “If you want it, I’ll gladly share it. I just need your strength to get this secret treasure.” Philip raised his eyebrows, thought about it, and asked, “What’s this Treasure Digging Event, then?” Windsor said, “This event requires the forces and families to send their representatives to Mystic Cave and go through some challenges. The one who can finally find the an
Seeing Ludo walking in, Philip and the others were a little puzzled. “Why are you here?” Philip asked. Ludo raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes at Philip, and said, “I wanted to see if you were killed by Dragon King Well!” Philip was speechless. Lord Ludo was quite a vengeful person. Fennel and the others were also embarrassed and kept quiet. Then, Ludo said, “You should have less contact with Windsor. He's not a good person.” “What do you mean?” Philip asked. Ludo looked at Philip and said coldly, “Windsor is not working alone. There’s another force behind him, and you should know this person too.” “Who?” Philip asked. “Fitzgerald Hale of the Nonagon,” Ludo said. “What?!” Hearing this, Philip was agitated. Fitzgerald Hale? How could it be him? Besides, was Fitzgerald Hale not dead? Seeing Philip’s state, Ludo said mildly, “Don’t be so surprised. Windsor used to be a follower of Fitzgerald, but I heard that Fitzgerald died on Arcadia Island of your Clarke f
Ludo said, “Based on the current situation, only Fitzgerald was found and confirmed to be from the other shore. As for the others, I don't know.” Hearing this, Philip breathed a sigh of relief and asked, “You mentioned just now that Windsor is Fitzgerald’s follower. Are you saying that Windsor is acting on Fitzgerald’s order?” Ludo nodded and said, “It’s very likely, so it’s best if you keep your distance from Windsor. His influence in Mystic City is not small, and he doesn’t only have Fitzgerald behind him. As far as I know, the Imperial Palace is involved too.” “The Imperial Palace?” Philip frowned. When it came to matters related to the Imperial Palace, Philip was uncertain too. Was someone in the Imperial Palace working with Windsor? Ludo said, “We haven't found out the specifics. The Heavenly Court has no way to infiltrate the Imperial Palace. The Imperial Preceptor is very powerful.” Philip was quite surprised to hear this evaluation of the Imperial Preceptor from
After waiting for a while, the burly man returned and said to Philip, “Miss Cleo Lovelace will see you.” Philip nodded and walked into the medical hall. Fennel and the others followed closely behind. The internal layout of the medical hall was quite simple, but there was no medical staff at the front desk or a guide for selling medicine. They followed the burly man to the back of the medical hall only to find that there was more than met the eye. There was a small courtyard inside where Cleo was talking to several guests. She wore a sexy black dress, looking charming and mature. Seeing Philip and the others walking in, Cleo greeted him with a smile and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, I didn’t expect you to come looking for me.” Philip glanced around at the unfamiliar people in the yard. He looked at Cleo and said, “You know the purpose of my visit.” Of course, Cleo knew. She motioned Philip to sit on the side and said, “You’re here for Wynn’s memory chip, but I’m sor
Cleo said, “Relax, Young Patriarch Clarke. To us, Wynn is the only bargaining chip now. We won’t do anything to her, but we need her to do some things for us.” Hearing this, Philip's eyes became sterner as he said, “I won’t allow you to hurt Wynn! I won’t let the Lovelace family off!” After that, Philip turned around and left the medical hall with the others. After Philip left, Cleo breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes became cold as she said to the men behind her, “Tell the people at Cochly Mountain to hurry things up.” “Yes, Young Miss!” … After Philip and the others left the medical hall, Fennel asked, “Why didn't you take Cleo as a hostage?” Philip frowned and said, “It's not that simple.” They returned to the hotel. After a day's rest, Philip was invited by Ludo’s attendant to the hotel. It was still the same suite. However, Ludo was not dressed up as a man this time but wore a skimpy dress as she lay on a beach chair with sunglasses on. She was having a drink
