Ivan knew very well that Philip was an outstanding talent, so he dared not have any reckless ideas about Philip. Back then, they tried to poison Philip to destroy his practice base, but Ivan had no idea if the plan was successful. Thus, he dared not take a gamble. Ivan struggled for a while and decided to play dumb. “Young Patriarch, we don’t know anything about this. The boy from the Zucker family did come here some time ago, but he left after a short visit! “Do you mean he’s missing? This is bad. We need to organize a search for him! “This place is a mess, not as safe as the big cities. Something may happen to a lone kid like him!” Philip was shocked to hear his feigned ignorance even though he had already put it so bluntly. His appearance at their doorstep clearly meant that he was adamant about causing trouble for the Tampa family. “Since I’ve mentioned this so clearly, you don’t have to play dumb either. Don't think I don't know what has happened during the years I
Ivan was surprised to hear that the memory erasure case had been exposed. “Did someone from the Skater family tell you?” Ivan asked. He was not worried about the Skater family. They would not betray him. “Don’t worry about them. They're dead.” Philip sneered and sat on the couch, unfazed. Seeing Philip’s nonchalance, Ivan felt a flash of annoyance. “You killed them? Did you read their memories?” Ivan said in surprise as if he remembered something. He knew one way to read another person’s memory, but this method was only available to demonic practitioners. He could not believe that Philip used this method! It proved that Philip had dealings with demonic practitioners! Philip frowned. Of course, he knew that only demonic practitioners would use such a vicious method in this world. The memory-reading method he used came from the books in Verge Tower, not demonic practitioners. However, he did not intend to explain anything to these losers. Philip sat there and wait
Ivan was extremely nervous. He knew that Philip's actual strength would only be stronger than the fifth zone, not weaker. If Philip was really that powerful, he had to weigh the situation carefully. Only a few members of the Tampa family were left, and they could not afford to lose anyone. Philip came at the right time, and all the remaining members of the Tampa family were here. It would be difficult to escape now. “What happened back then was all a misunderstanding. We aren't traitors,” Ivan said awkwardly, not avoiding the topic. Philip sneered at Ivan’s explanation. Ivan was really good at bluffing. Why did he not realize that Ivan was such a hypocritical person? Montel finally regained some strength after Philip fed him some water. He struggled to stand up and glared at Ivan. “You liar! You pretended to welcome me when I first arrived to gain information about the young patriarch. When I wasn't paying attention, you spiked my food and knocked me out! You’re such
Montel looked at Philip anxiously. “Young Patriarch, you have to believe me! Ivan is a big fat liar! Everything will be over if you believe him! This shameless old man is really one of a kind!” Montel cursed angrily without caring about his image. The grudge between him and Ivan was already set in stone. Ivan sneered at Montel, unfazed. He simply wanted to buy time and wait for help to arrive. Ivan was not sure if Philip had other reinforcements, so to be on the safe side, he would wait for the Practitioner Society to deal with Philip. Even though Ivan was an expert in the seventh zone, he was apprehensive when facing the former young patriarch. “That’s enough. Stop it.” Philip stopped Montel. “Ivan’s reinforcements should be here now. If not, I won’t wait any longer.” Philip stood up and smiled at Ivan. Ivan froze, shocked that Philip guessed his plan. He did everything in secret. No one should know anything about it, but Philip did! It was enough to prove that
Montel coughed awkwardly, astounded by these fangirls. Philip was speechless too. He had imagined many scenarios. Maybe he would be arrested on the spot. Maybe the Practitioner Society would insult him before taking him away. Maybe other various undesirable situations might happen. However, it never occurred to him to see a bunch of fangirls. Philip facepalmed in embarrassment. He did not want things to turn out this way! The man in the lead did not share the same thoughts. He was very unhappy with their reactions. “So you're the demonic practitioner. Surrender at once!” he said gruffly. Montel frowned in disdain. Even though he did not drink much water in the past several days, his voice was not that gruff. This guy sounded like a quacking duck, and his voice was very unpleasant to the ears. “Sarah, don't be fooled by the faces of these demonic practitioners. They look handsome and charming to create a false impression!” the guy said seriously, trying to destroy th
“Are you guys trying to defend him?” Ivan asked solemnly. He was very unhappy with these fangirls, so he placed all his hopes on Gruffy. Gruffy looked very gloomy seeing that his junior had taken a fancy to a man as soon as she arrived. Hence, he was certain that Philip was a demonic practitioner. No matter what background he had, there was no way he could leave in peace today. Jealousy could turn someone into a green-eyed monster. Over the years, his junior never had the hots for him. She never cherished the man beside her but chose this loser instead?! What a waste! Gruffy walked over briskly and stared at Philip seriously. “Did you use a demonic technique to retrieve another person’s memories?” Gruffy asked solemnly as if he was conducting official business. Seeing this scene, the other women seemed anxious. They knew very well that Philip was absolutely innocent. In an era where appearance took precedence over justice, they were undoubtedly torn. “No.”
Everyone felt ashamed and wished they could kill Philip to vent their anger. Even the fangirls were angry. In comparison with idolization, they were more concerned about their reputation. If Philip damaged their reputation, they could not establish their authority. The Practitioner Society could not allow anyone to mess with them, no matter how handsome the person was. Sarah was very nervous. She was very worried that something would happen to Philip, but when she saw Philip giving Captain Lawrence a good beating, she was full of anticipation. This man was very hot-blooded and did something that she had wanted to do for a long time. Many people were full of gloating and half-heartedly tried to stop Philip from beating Lawrence. However, their weak attempts had no effect at all. Philip hit Lawrence harder instead of stopping. After venting all his anger, Philip finally stopped. Ivan looked at Philip, dumbfounded. His hands were trembling slightly. He sensed tha
Captain Lawrence looked at them seriously. He believed that Ivan would not lose. After all, he worked with Ivan quite often in the past. He had been in charge of this area for a long time and often colluded with Ivan to torture other practitioners. If Ivan was not so vicious, they would not have gotten so many resources to build a villa on the mountain. Captain Lawrence was no good either! Philip could tell at a glance that they were in cahoots with each other, but since he was an outsider, he could not compete with the locals. Montel grabbed some food from the table and started eating without qualms. As a practitioner, he knew he was useless without any strength. “Young Patriarch, these people are simply rotten to the core. They have a drug in the warehouse that will render someone unable to use their abilities temporarily after injecting it into the bloodstream!” Montel said with indignance. He was unable to put up a fight because he was injected with the drug. Ot
