Philip laughed at Ivan’s obvious embarrassment. As he thought, this guy was really crooked. “Since you don't want your wife to die, start talking!” Philip threatened. Montel increased the force of the dagger, leaving a streak of blood on the woman’s neck. “Ouch! Start talking already! I’m going to die if you delay any longer!” She was usually the most favored, and her orders carried some weight. Now that her husband was unwilling to speak, this woman became anxious and started yelling. Ivan glanced at her and sighed. “Northwest, Dreary Mountain.” Ivan revealed the location of the research lab and told Philip how to enter it. Nodding, Philip knocked Ivan out. “Tie everyone up. I’ll deal with them after I verify everything.” There were only a few members of the Tampa family left. Philip subdued them easily and tied them to the pillars. “I know all of you are practitioners. Although you’re not very strong, you should be fine without food for two weeks. I’ll look
“I once heard that the Tampa family sent a family member to explore the world, and it seems that he was headed in the northwest region where Dreary Mountain is located. Although I don't know what he did there, I’m sure he knows a lot about the Larson family.” Montel quickly concluded based on the information he knew and the prediction he made. They had to find this guy named Garth Tampa. He was none other than Ivan’s son. Philip was not familiar with the Tampa family, so he did not know what Garth looked like. However, this was the best time to set off. They bought plane tickets and quickly headed to the northwest region. Dreary Mountain was located in an extremely remote location in Townsville that was mostly made up of barren landscapes. Most people could hardly tolerate the climate. However, it posed no problem for practitioners. “Young Patriarch, I made a prediction on the plane. He’s currently working in an entertainment company. I’ll take you there.” Montel hail
The women made no sound for fear of annoying Philip. Philip asked Montel to stand guard outside the door. He closed the broken door and watched silently as Garth pranced around. Garth yelled for a while but got no reply, so he became a little angry. “Are you dumb? Can’t you make a sound?” Philip sneered. Garth heard his sneer and was surprised to hear a man's voice in his office. He took off the stockings on his head in horror. “Who are you?!” A man stared at him sinisterly. Garth was so frightened that he slumped on the floor, his knees weak. He looked at Philip in shock and fear. This guy was quite good at entering his office without making a sound. “Guards, come and save me!” He shouted at the door anxiously, but he specially modified this office, so no one outside the door could hear anything. Even if Garth screamed himself hoarse, no one would come to his rescue. Seeing Philip's indifferent look, he felt a little embarrassed. He was playing some indec
Philip pointed the letter opener at Garth. “Your father loves you very much to spend so much money on you. All other members of the Tampa family are dead now, and you’re the only one left. Do you want to stay alive?” Garth shuddered in fear at Philip's cold voice. He wanted to kneel to Philip! Philip’s remark scared him the most. The Tampa family was gone? How could that be? He just spoke to his father Ivan on the phone two days ago. Everyone was doing very well. “You don’t have to doubt it. I did everything.” Garth was shocked and scared. He was surprised that this person claimed to have destroyed the Tampa family, and he was also afraid that Philip would make a mistake and destroy his lifelong happiness. “Do you know where your father's research lab is?” Philip asked without beating about the bush. Garth scowled at Philip’s question. He did not expect that Philip would ask about his father's research lab. “Who are you?” he asked warily. No one in Townsville
Garth knew very well that once he took Philip to the research lab, he would be dead for sure. “The research lab is far away from this place. It’s not the right time to go now, or…” Garth coughed awkwardly, trying to gloss over the topic. However, Philip gave him no chance. He smacked Garth on the head and grabbed something from the closet for Garth. “I’ll give you five minutes to leave with me.” During this time, Montel was not idle either. He used his hacking methods and found some strange things about Dreary Mountain. As a professional web surfer, Montel was quite good at looking for information. Philip was curious about what Montel found. “There seems to be a research institute on Dreary Mountain. It's used to research some very scary things. I found out about it when I came across a post by chance. Furthermore, Dreary Mountain is heavily guarded, and ordinary people are not allowed entry. Many travelers who went exploring lost their lives on that mountain!” Montel
“Young Patriarch, we've arrived at Dreary Mountain, but there are several roads leading up. Which one shall we take?” Montel asked Philip at the foot of Dreary Mountain. Philip tossed the question to Garth. Garth cursed Philip inwardly but said good-naturedly on the surface, “Just take the road on the right until we reach the end.” He knew that the research lab was being strictly guarded because of the scientists inside. Philip would be finished once he reached the research lab. Garth would take revenge for all the humiliation he had suffered today. He would make Philip run buck naked through all the alleys and streets! Garth felt extremely happy at the thought of Philip’s miserable plight later. Philip speechlessly looked at Garth as the latter laughed wildly one second and looked melancholic the next. Philip almost thought that Garth had gone crazy. “Hey, wake up.” Philip slapped Garth on the head so that he would stay rational and not be immersed in his own wo
Once Philip entered the research lab, he would be a fly trapped in the spider’s web. Garth was no fool. He knew exactly how to contact the guards. At that time, not only would Garth be rescued, but Philip and his ignorant follower would also die in the crossfire! So what if Philip was a powerful practitioner? He could not hold a candle to technology! The Tampa family had been studying various kinds of practitioners and had invented many potions. Some potions could allow ordinary people to gain the power of practitioners! Similarly, they had also developed countless poisons that made practitioners lose energy and transfer that energy away. They did not make the results public. After all, too much information lay behind these potions, and the Tampa family was not sure that they could withstand the attacks from other practitioner forces. The Tampa family’s initial intention was to create their own force. Their family was not large, and most of them were unable to practice,
Philip had no idea what was going on. Grabbing a backpack, he walked into the hotel. He quickly arrived at the front desk. When Philip was about to book a single room, a woman approached him and took his arm. “Hello, we want a room with a double bed,” the woman said smilingly as if she was Philip's wife. Philip did not expose this woman’s peculiar actions. He wanted to see what she was up to. The front desk quickly arranged a room for the two of them, and the mysterious woman walked to the elevator with Philip. “I’ll pay for the room. You don’t have to worry about anything else.” As soon as she arrived at the elevator, the woman's tone became extremely cold. She withdrew her hand from Philip’s arm with some disgust. Philip was amused by her rapid change. Was this woman using him as a cover-up? She was pretty good at burning her bridges. “I’ve agreed to pay for your room. You don’t have to show me that face.” She was a little angry at Philip’s indifference. She
