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
Clementine’s expression changed when she saw clearly what was in the backpack. Philip could feel her disgust and derision. “So, you have such a fetish.” Clementine smiled and grabbed her phone to give Philip a close-up shot. She found this extremely handsome man quite interesting. “Okay, I'm going out to shoot my video.” After teasing Philip, Clementine hid all the video-shooting tools in her clothes and sneaked out. Clementine was actually a horror vlogger. She usually explored and took videos of haunted places and posted them online to gain attention. Clementine had never shown her face, so no one knew her gender. They only knew that this vlogger was skillful, lucky, and bold. Clementine came across some comments from netizens and decided to explore this hotel. There were rumors about an extremely luxurious hotel halfway up Dreary Mountain. Although it was expensive and luxurious, it was extremely scary. Many people went missing in this place every year, and the
Philip checked the room after Clementine left and took out the Cockatrice Orb upon confirming there was no surveillance around. The Cockatrice Orb contained a lot of energy which Philip could use to level up. When Philip was not using it, this miraculous orb would automatically absorb energy to provide Philip with energy anytime and anywhere. Philip quickly improved his strength while holding the orb and easily reached the early stage of the sixth zone. Seeing that he would soon return to his former level five of the pseudo holy tier, Philip was full of anticipation. Philip knew he would not have made such rapid progress now if he had not laid a good foundation back then. The energy in the Cockatrice Orb was quickly exhausted, and it would be a long time before Philip could use it again. By right, the energy in the Cockatrice Orb could elevate a person to a higher level, but Philip was different. His energy veins and core were several times more powerful than ordinary peo
“Why are you here? Are you shooting a horror video too?” Clementine was a little curious. She saw someone entering the elevator and wanted to tag along. Clementine thought of knocking this person out after entering the elevator, but it turned out to be Philip. Philip was also a little confused and wondered how the other party got here. “How did you find this place?” Philip asked Clementine with a frown. This woman was really good considering she could hide from him. She was not a person to be trifled with. “I wanted to shoot my horror video, but I got lost. I walked around and saw an elevator here. It looks very scary, so I want to shoot it.” Clementine explained honestly with no intention of hiding anything from Philip. Philip frowned. She simply found this place by accident. “Why does this elevator lead to the basement? Why are you going to the tenth floor?” Clementine asked Philip out of curiosity. In her opinion, Philip was very mysterious. “Don’t ask unneces
