Clementine never dreamed that she would experience such a thrilling ride. Although she had always longed for it, she only realized how terrifying it was after experiencing it. Clementine inwardly applauded Philip's decisiveness. Philip checked the suite thoroughly and finally relaxed after making sure nothing was wrong. With three bedrooms here, they could take a good break. “Okay, this place is safe for now. Let’s take a rest first.” No one reacted to Philip’s suggestion. They sat on the couch and looked at Philip expectantly. They wanted to know what was going on. Philip knew he could not put it off any longer. Since everyone was so curious, he picked out several key points. “The research lab in that mountain specialized in extracting the strength of practitioners, which in turn can allow ordinary people to become practitioners. My objective was to look for the Larson family. I moved them out and reentered the research lab to save Grandpa. I couldn't allow such ho
Clementine was puzzled by Philip’s question. She did not know the feud between Philip and Kronos, but for some reason, Clementine wanted to believe Philip. “I can tell you everything I know.” Clementine felt that Philip was a good person or he would not have gone to such great lengths to save her. While waiting for Philip earlier, Clementine found out that Philip had evacuated the guests and hotel staff too. It proved that Philip was a very kind person and unwilling to sacrifice innocent people. She was very moved and looked at Philip with admiration. “Kronos is a large organization involved in all walks of life. In short, they have people all over the world! Everyone says that no one should mess with Kronos, especially normal people. It’s rumored that all their affiliates can tell if someone belongs to Kronos.” As if Montel remembered something, he took out his computer and started searching. “I remember now. Some netizens were saying that many newly opened stores an
Clementine saw everyone's reaction and realized that her comment was a little abrupt. She smiled awkwardly at everyone and said, “Sorry, it was just a random remark. You don’t have to answer my question. I get it!” Montel saw her reaction and relaxed. Since she stopped dwelling on the topic, they could remain friends. Although Montel liked making friends, he would not lose his composure when he was not sure if the other party was friend or foe. “It’s not a big deal. I do have a grudge against Kronos, and I’m about to seek revenge on them.” Philip smiled amiably. He liked Clementine. She remained calm in battle and could think independently. She was someone worth grooming. More importantly, she was a famous vlogger. To deal with Kronos, a content creator would be quite useful. There was no doubt that Philip wanted to forge a good relationship with Clementine with the intention of using her, but more importantly, it was due to her personality too. Fearless in the face o
Clementine grinned brightly at the thought of the splendor she would create. “So what if I die? I’m not afraid of dying. I know a lot about Kronos. I had always wanted to make a video exploring the secrets of Kronos but never had the chance. I had no way to stand against them either,” Clementine said helplessly. She seemed upset from the bottom of her heart. Philip felt even more satisfied with Clementine’s words. This young lady was totally made for him! This team member was exactly what he wanted! “Very well, welcome to our team. I won’t mistreat you.” Philip smiled. Then, he turned around and pulled his grandfather to the room. Everyone was exhausted and needed a good rest before they could plan their next action. There were only three rooms here, so Philip gave them the other two. Alex followed Philip into the room and burst into tears at his grandson’s stoic look. Alex finally saw him again! When Philip told him that he was going to find a cure for him, Alex
The next day, everyone lazed in bed. At ten o’clock, Montel finally decided to call for breakfast service in the room. After getting up, Clementine washed up and asked the butler to buy her a laptop. It was a tool for her survival. Her old laptop was lost in the hotel explosion. Fortunately, Clementine kept everything in her cloud storage, so she did not lose any exciting content. Philip had an idea as Clementine edited her content. “You should expose what happened at the research lab in the hotel basement,” Philip said calmly. He wanted to expose this incident and attract Kronos' attention. “Are you sure? Doing so will expose our tracks in advance.” Clementine was wary. They would suffer a severe backlash very soon if they did this. “I’m sure,” Philip said firmly. It was a good way to mess with Kronos. According to his research, Kronos mainly focused on the real estate business, which allowed them to develop rapidly in such a short time. Other than exposing K
Everyone seemed expectant, and Montel patted his chest to take over from here. “Don’t worry, leave this to me. I’ll make this video go viral! I want everyone to know that Kronos is up to no good!” Everyone quickly reached a consensus. Clementine was responsible for posting the video, while Montel registered several accounts to start the ball rolling. At the end of the day, they had to make sure that Kronos had no way out. The two took out their computers and started working on it. In just ten minutes, they successfully posted the video and made it a trending search. Clementine's information was all encrypted. Unless it was a professional hacker better than Montel, no one could get any information about her. Meanwhile, the Kronos executives received the news. Early in the morning while everyone was lazing in bed, a recorded video popped out like mushrooms after a rain. This caused a great sensation, and everyone speculated the identity of the mysterious force behind this r
Although Wendell was nothing but a dog raised by the board members, he was highly respected in Kronos. No one knew that he was a dog! Everyone had to call him Lord Wendell! Wendell was so immersed in that wonderful feeling that he could not extricate himself. He was very nervous about the possibility of losing his status. He thought for a long time and finally decided to solve it himself. If he failed to do so, it would not be too late to notify the board of directors. Besides, he was confident in his methods and believed he could get a result before the board members finished their practice. At this point, Wendell motivated himself. “Check it out quickly. If you can't figure out who is behind the scenes, all of you can get lost!” Wendell said angrily. Then, he asked the secretary to contact the person in charge to remove all these videos. However, the people they could contact were very limited. This video had spread to major websites, including domestic and fo
Alex knew his old friends very well. They would never go their separate ways but find a place to live together like hermits instead. That place was Dhole Mountain. Back then, everyone liked this place very much and said that if they had to flee or live a life of recluse, they would come here. Based on what he knew about his old friends, Alex felt that they would definitely be there. Philip looked expectant. He could not wait to build his force. If he could convince his grandfather’s old friends to join his team, it would be a big step toward victory. Philip’s expression brightened at that thought. “Okay, once this case is settled, I’ll go to Dhole Mountain and find all your old friends!” Since they were his grandfather's old friends, Philip guessed that they were not young. As if reading Philip’s thoughts, Alex handed him a photo. He always kept this photo close at hand. Even those evil researchers never found it. “Don’t think that they're old. In fact, they're in
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
“I won’t be joining your guild, but I don’t mind being a spectator. At least I can watch the fun. I know that you’re quite strong, so you don’t need me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I don’t think you’ll face a problem.” Philip smiled indifferently, quite confident that nothing much would happen. The overall strength of the Celestial Palace had improved significantly, so they really had nothing to worry about. Jamie was relieved to hear that. In that case, he could rest assured.… The guild competition officially kicked off, and everyone was ready to battle it out. The battles were not something that simply required strength to resolve. Occasionally, the competitors required tactics too. As Alain was feeling anxious, his reinforcement finally arrived at the scene. The hooded man turned up with some potions, ready to carry out his task. “Hey, you’re finally here. I thought I wouldn’t see you again.” Alain was worried. He knew that he was in a precarious situati
“Father, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!” Hogster sat by Alain’s bedside and asked in a panic. Hogster would not have been worried about Alain in the past, but things were different now. They were facing various crises. Without his father to take care of things, they would be doomed. Alain coughed violently and fumbled around for some healing pills before stuffing them into his mouth. The pills were not useful for his injuries but could at least relieve his pain. After Alain took the pills, Hogster hugged him excitedly. “This is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.” Alain almost died in anger over his son’s remark. “Hogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. You’ll make a name for yourself if you do this.” Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, “Father, although I’m quite strong, you can’t do this to me! How am I suppose
The rabbit had a very expressive face as if it was watching Alain make a fool of himself. “You’re quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, let’s hear them.” Hay dangled from Rabbit's mouth, and he seemed disdainful. Alain seemed conflicted at the sight of Rabbit and felt like he was looking at Philip instead. “Why are you here?” This rabbit was weird, and no one could control it. As far as Alain knew, the rabbit was famous in major cities and good at picking fights. “Of course, I’m here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?” After saying this, Rabbit jumped up and kicked Alain, who started spitting mouthfuls of blood. Alain was strong in his own right, so there was no way he would be helpless against an attack. However, he simply could not resist Rabbit and could only suffer a beating. The guild members in the surroundings closed their eyes, feeling sorry for their guild leader. No one thought they could win th
It seemed that Alain had overestimated his importance. “Hey, wait a minute. Don't be so hasty. I just want to think about how to make things better. You should know that things are not as simple as you think. If I agree so easily, others might target me.” The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alain’s flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. “I thought you wouldn’t consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.” The hooded man smiled calmly as if mocking Alain from the bottom of his heart. Although Alain was being ridiculed, he could not say a word. The hooded man held the reins, so Alain had no choice but to obey. “I don’t mind this cooperation, but we need to plan this thoroughly. If you can help my guild to make a comeback in this competition, I can agree to your condition. Since you found me, you should know the trouble my guild is facing right now. Philip and his people are messing with us, and the Celestial Palace is keepi
Alain was a smart man and quickly grasped the key point. It seemed that this man was here to help him. “Tell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If you’re here to help me, let’s have an open discussion.” Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. “I know that your guild is facing a crisis. I can help you with that. I can get rid of all your problems and also ensure that your guild scores victory. Although I can't guarantee that you’ll win the championship, taking one of the top spots won’t be a problem.” The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this man’s offer to help him. At a moment of crisis, it was every man for himself. Right now, no one was willing to help him or lend a helping hand. Alain thought that this was too much of a coincidence. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?” Alain knew that
