“I-In the past three years, we've probably sacrificed tens of thousands of people, but many of them are homeless,” the old man admitted as if his sin would be lesser if he did so. Clementine scowled. She did not speak but recorded everything with her camera. The camera was hidden in Clementine's clothes, so she only had to face the other party to get a clear picture. The recorded videos would be uploaded directly to her cloud storage where no one could steal or hack the information inside. Clementine had been collecting these precious materials for a long time, and they could be considered priceless. Compared to her usual exploration and uncovering secrets, Clementine was doing something serious this time. She was delighted at the thought of the social repercussions after this case was made public. “Where's the Larson family?” That was Philip's biggest concern. He wanted to know if any harm had befallen the Larson family over the years. The old man was extremely tor
Sure enough, Albert fell into despair at Philip’s words. He did not expect Philip to know so much. Philip felt amused at Albert’s foolish reaction. “I know everything you’ve done over the years,” Philip sneered. It was obvious that Albert had been up to no good. “Now that you know everything, I’ll tell you the truth! Philip, I can tell that you’re a powerful expert. I want to recruit you to join our team. Have you seen this lab? Do you know how much time and energy have been spent on building it? We run all kinds of genetic research in this lab, including focused research on practitioners!” At this point, he grabbed a document on the table and handed it to Philip. “Aren't you amazed that these studies can help ordinary people become practitioners?” Philip flipped through the document thoughtfully. In general, the content showed that they had discovered a way to transfer the power of practitioners to ordinary humans. Once this approach could be implemented on a large s
The other party was clearly making use of him, but he was grateful to them instead. Once this matter came to fruition, Albert would not gain anything at all. Other families had contributed money, effort, and talents. How could they allow the credit to go to a brat who popped out of nowhere? Albert would not be able to continue living a luxurious and enjoyable life when the day came. Since he had betrayed the Larson family, there was no more use for him. The other party was still willing to keep him simply to display the contrast between his luxurious life and the sufferings of the Larson family. Over time, the other family members would gradually choose to give in. “Do you think that's possible?” Philip mocked. This guy was really naive. Albert scowled at Philip’s retort. Even though his position was far superior, Philip still refused to respect him! Philip was the young patriarch of the Clarke family, an outstanding genius, while an ordinary person with an average
“I can see that you really have no brains,” Philip said flatly, not taking Albert seriously at all. Albert scowled, wishing he could kill Philip. He vowed to kill this man who stole his limelight and record the whole process to show everyone. He, Albert Larson, who was totally crushed by Philip back then, could now easily take him down! Thinking of this, Albert took out his mobile phone and put it on recording mode. “Today, I'm going to show everyone how good you are, you loser!” Albert smiled brightly as if he could already see himself killing Philip. Philip laughed from the bottom of his heart. He had concealed his strength all this while. Although he was already extremely powerful back then, Philip always claimed that he was only slightly better than the most outstanding people. Furthermore, Philip always controlled his performance to showcase exactly that. However, when someone surpassed him, they would quickly discover that he was another step farther from th
Albert seemed very smug upon hearing Philip’s words. He hoped that he could persuade Philip to join his team too. He usually worked alone and felt a little lonely. Although this guy was a talent, things were different now. He must be stronger than Philip. If Philip joined him, Philip could only become his subordinate. “If you want me to join your team, you have to give me some good conditions. What do you have to attract me?” Philip said seriously without beating about the bush. Albert shook the potion in his hand at Philip’s interest. “This thing will be good for you.” Albert flicked the cap open with a smile and swallowed it in one gulp. He was so fast that Philip could hardly react. It was as if Philip would snatch it away if Albert was a second slower, so he had to be cautious. Philip watched Albert silently. Clementine helped Grandpa up and stood aside while staring at the scientists warily, not forgetting to record everything. Probably only Clementine coul
Philip walked to the door. Albert kept urging him along, which annoyed Philip. Clementine gritted her teeth, helped Grandpa up, and followed them. This lab was not safe. She would probably be trapped if she remained here. Soon, Philip followed Albert to a training ground where they usually trained. Philip subconsciously used a camouflage pill to modify his appearance. Although he looked somewhat similar to his original appearance, there were subtle differences in other areas. Most of the people training here wore the same uniform with the word ‘guard’ on their chests. Philip was surprised to find himself in the thieves’ den. However, he could feel that these people were not that strong and not that difficult to deal with. Clementine staggered over with Grandpa in tow and saw this scene. She backed away in fright and found a room to hide in. With so many guards around, Philip would definitely arouse everyone's suspicion if he rushed in. A fierce battle would inevitably
Philip knew that this guy was no good, so there was no need to waste time with him. Albert patted his chest. “If you can beat me, I’ll introduce you to Mr. Tate, and we’ll flourish under his command. Doesn’t that sound wonderful?” Albert said smugly. He had always envied others for having underlings, but no matter how he tried to please those people, no one was willing to follow him. Now that a family member was here, there was an extra layer of kinship binding them compared to others. Although Albert was upset with Philip, there was no problem in taking advantage of him. His objective was simply to show Philip how strong he was. Philip laughed. This guy was ignorant and idiotic, shameless to the extreme just to show off his strength. He believed that even if Albert was fully prepared, it would never occur to him that Philip had far surpassed him. Philip would teach him a good lesson and dig all of Mr. Tate’s information out of him. “Cut the crap and start fightin
“How strong are you?” Albert finally thought of checking Philip’s strength, but he could not tell no matter how hard he tried. “None of your business.” Philip took a step forward, which seemed like a small movement. However, he had crossed half the room and arrived in front of Albert. Albert trembled in fright at this sight. He did not expect Philip to be so good! “What level are you?” Albert felt a little nervous. In his opinion, Philip must be much higher than him! “Tell me how to contact Mr. Tate. Who is he exactly?” Philip knew that his move was enough to scare the brainless Albert shitless. Indeed, Albert stood dumbfounded, at a loss for how to answer Philip's question. He had thought that he could kill Philip instantly. At that time, he could put on an aloof pretense as if he pitied Philip and wanted to spare his life. “Impossible, you can’t be that powerful. You’re nothing but a loser! Over the years, I tried so hard to please those people and I only re
