Mitch scoffed. He pinned a sinister gaze on Philip as he spoke, "I've heard rumors of your madness before, you little sh*t. Can't say I'm surprised, but there's no way I'm letting you leave this room alive." With the same indifferent expression on his face, Philip held the silver chopsticks, a knife, and a fork in his hands. Frost oozed off him in waves! Squinting his eyes at Mitch, the corner of Philip's mouth stretched to reveal what one would associate with the smile of death. "I don't know about me leaving the room alive, but you’re definitely not leaving the room unscathed!" With that, Philip threw the knife in his hand, lodging it into Mitch's shoulder in the blink of an eye!Brutal! Mitch's shoulder was already covered with a sheen of bright red by the time it dawned on him what had happened! Clutching his arm, Mitched staggered backward and roared with a menacing expression, "Kill him! Cut off his hands and legs!"Philip was too fast. All the eight bodyguards in the
"I thought you were looking for Clarke Group? Well then, I, your husband, am precisely your knight in shining armor. I'll help you deal with any troubles and problems you'll have."Philip smiled, reaching out to brush the tip of Wynn's delicate nose.Bursting into a puff of laughter, Wynn blinked as she spoke, "You're no longer as transparent as you were to me, Philip. Since when did you learn to do this? It's getting a little scary."Philip rubbed the back of his head. "I picked it up from someone back then at home. That's all, nothing much.""Is that so?"Wynn asked as her eyes shone, looking at Philip.Philip smiled shyly in response....At the same time, Mitch Potter and his gang of bodyguards arrived at the entrance of the Intercontinental Hotel. Drenched in blood, he was a flustering sight to see!Gravely injured was the master of the fraternity belonging to the top five underground forces of South River District. Even Theo Zander had to pay a degree of respect to the
Philip furrowed his eyebrows, displeasure brewing ice-cold in his chest. In front of him were 30 to 40 men with over ten multi-purpose vehicles stopped before the hotel's entrance.The Andersons of the South River District had gone too far.Philip was infuriated. One Beacon Pharmaceutical and one investment of a billion yuan, and now he had to deal with this insufferable aftermath.Philip knew that none of this would have occurred without the help of someone more powerful behind the scenes.30 to 40 men, each a thug with a bloodthirsty look in their eyes. They were either topless so that their tattoos were visible or clutching metal rods in their hands.It had been many years since the last local gang fight in Riverdale, let alone an intercity one.Especially fights where one of the parties all had 'fraternity' tattooed in red on their backs!"Holy sh*t! That's the South River District's fraternity! Why are they here in Riverdale?""Oh, God, what’s happening? Fraternity? The on
Mitch’s expression sunk instantly. A sinister glare was sent Noah’s way as he smiled. “Oh? Does Brother Noah not believe in my capabilities? I have so many members with me, how can I not get my hands on a worthless scum who feeds off his wife?”“No no, you’ve misunderstood me, Sir Mitch. I brought this man to deal with Philip Clarke myself. But now that I see Sir Mitch has already made a move, then there’s naturally no need to bring him out. I simply wish to introduce you to him, Sir Mitch. Perhaps he’ll learn a thing or two from you!”Noah explained, pointing at the passenger seat in his car.The back seat windows rolled down to reveal a man in a baseball cap. A large gash marked one half of his face, leaving him with an unsettling aura at night!The man’s side profile overwhelmed those who saw him while his gaze was fixed on Philip Clarke who was at the hotel’s entrance. Perhaps it was the pull of another strong bird with the same feathers!“Who’s that? He looks even more powe
Men were all bloodthirsty beings, especially at the prompt of spilling fresh blood. A moment of silence engulfed the thugs, but it was soon broken by their howls. Who were they to feel fear? Especially when there were 30 to 40 of them! Surely they would be able to kill him, right?They ran forward anyway, effectively disregarding the words Philip had said. Philip scoffed and lifted his hand to slash downward, landing a gash on two thugs who were dashing in front! Wynn stood behind the revolving door as she watched the man with a piandao in one hand. His usually bright eyes were cloudy and hooded with anger! Unable to calm herself, her chest swarmed with an indescribable feeling. Her husband was this impressive...For a moment, Wynn realized she could no longer see through Philip Clarke, a rich man who was also exceptional at fighting! She would never forget this scene for the rest of her life. Philip dashed out with a piandao in his hand, leaving a bloodied but clear p
Under Philip’s imposing manner, everyone in the fraternity backed away slowly.Even though they were greater in numbers, they were no match in the face of Philip’s imposing manner.“Get lost! If not, I’ll kill all of you!”Philip roared once again. The air around him was extremely domineering.After a few seconds, no one dared to leave.“Since none of you are leaving, I’ll send all of you away myself!”The corner of Philip’s lips were upturned. He had a devilish smirk on his face. Then, the knife in his hand seemingly turned into a bright laser as it shot out. It stabbed right into the stomach of one of the muscular men. Then, blood started spraying out from his body.The entire knife was inside the man’s stomach, and blood was dripping from the tip of the knife that penetrated through the man’s body. It looked horrifying.The man did not realize what had happened. While he was hesitating, Philip had already stabbed into his stomach.He lowered his head and clutched his bloody
Wynn was wearing a pair of high heels. When she walked to Philip, her heels clicked on the ground like a piano recital. She looked panic-stricken.She was a woman, after all. The smell of blood was in the air, and there were broken arms scattered all over the floor. Each severed limb was covered in blood. She wanted to vomit, but she held it in.30 to 40 men were trying to chop someone up in broad daylight. The scene looked like a warzone, and the ground was painted with blood.If Philip were not here, she could not imagine what would have happened instead.Philip looked at Wynn who was standing next to him. There was a gentle smile on his face.Just like that, under everyone’s watchful gaze, Philip reached out an arm and grabbed Wynn’s tiny waist.Wynn shivered. She looked at Philip in disbelief.Was Philip still her spineless husband?When did he have these skills? He looked like an assassin in the movies.Philip chuckled and grabbed Wynn’s hand. He asked, “Are you ready?”
“Philip, you can’t slander me. I’m just passing by.”Noah laughed shamelessly. His eyes were glued on Wynn the entire time.He did all of this tonight to get this woman and Beacon Pharmaceutical!As such, he spent a lot of money to hire the Muay Thai champion, Thep. He would not allow any hiccups to happen during this urgent moment.Even if Philip was the variable, he would just get rid of this variable!“Hehe, passing by? How shameless!”Philip said nonchalantly.“Say that again!”Noah was furious!When Wynn saw Noah, she understood what was going on. She looked at him coldly with anger in her eyes.“Noah, did you do this?”Wynn asked angrily, “Why did you do this?”“It’s all for you and Beacon!”Noah decided to shed all pretense of cordiality. He was exposing the ugly side of him under his expensive suit. “Beacon is just a tiny company in Riverdale. How dare you go against the Andersons’ wishes? 60 percent? Now, I want all of Beacon’s profits, and of course, you!”In or
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending the lark family’s grand ceremony of the century,” a man announced in the middle of the square, and the bride stood next to him with a happy smile on her face. If Adam was present, he would definitely recognize the bride as the woman he had been dreaming of over the years, Ashley Bay. A handsome man stood next to the bride. His every move was imposing and domineering. They looked like the perfect match. Everyone looked at this scene and blessed them happily. “After a series of careful selection, I finally found the most suitable husband for my daughter. This is an important event for the lark people!” The lark people had a high status, and everyone wanted to marry into this family. After many selections, the bridegroom finally won the bride’s hand in marriage. Over the years, countless men had flocked around Ashley. After observations from all aspects, this man fit all the criteria—so much so that Adam had long been forgotten.
“This boot records various information about the lark people that may be very important to you. I believe you’ll understand after reading it.” After saying this, Renee handed the boot to Adam. She was not a fool. She knew that Philip was not the person initiating the search. Although Adam always remained calm, he could not hide his eagerness at all. Adam looked at Renee gratefully and took the book and started reading it without further ado. The more he read, the more shocked he felt. In the end, he was full of disbelief as if he could not believe what he saw. “Is this for real?” Adam finished reading the boot quickly and handed it to Philip and Carlos. The other two flipped through the book curiously. Philip scowled. He could not tell whether the information was true or false. “Is it true that the lark people have such an ability? It's recorded in the book that they can create a world. That’s simply…” Carlos was puzzled. Only a very powerful being could create a world. Was
“Please tell me how to find them. I want to find out what’s going on, even if it's just to convince myself to give up.” Adam decided that he still wanted to find the other party. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it. If everything was a lost cause, he would give up. Hearing that, Renee seemed conflicted as if deciding whether to tell them everything. “It doesn’t do me any good to tell you this. Why should I take the risk for no reason? I do business. You need to pay a price for it,” Renee said with a smile. Philip laughed. The words sounded very familiar to him as if he said them before. He used to say such things when he was doing business just to bluff some dumb customers. “Of course, I know you do business. If you’re willing to tell us something, we can offer you something in return, whether money or other resources,” Philip said with calm confidence. No matter what the other party wanted, he could easily provide it. Renee smiled at Philip’s words. “It's
The woman seemed amused by Philip’s request. “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, I’m not a liar. Although my actions don’t seem aboveboard to you, I’m not a bad person.” The woman did not hide anything. She knew that Philip had seen through the secret of her singing. As the only man who discovered her secret, she admired Philip very much. She once vowed that she would marry the man who could resist the temptation of her singing. “By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Renee, and I'm an employee of Moon Tavern. My job is very simple, that is to bring in more profits to the tavern.” Renee seemed very sincere and told them everything about herself. “However, my method isn’t very aboveboard. You already know that I make profits by using my singing to attract customers.” Renee mentioned her secret frankly, and Philip was surprised by her honesty. “As for the secret between me and the lark people, I can tell you that they hate me so much because some
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Philip was all the more interested in this mysterious existence. He wanted to find out who they were to act so arrogantly. Obviously, the lark people were stronger than anyone could imagine. Ordinary people were afraid of this family no matter how powerful they were. Maybe the storyteller felt uncomfortable at the mention of this family, but he quickly left after a while. Philip and the others were disappointed that they could not find out the news they wanted. When they thought that they had to return in defeat, a woman appeared and looked at them calmly. The woman was wearing a veil on her face, making it impossible to see her appearance. The veil was quite an extraordinary item that could block various detections. However, Philip recognized her at a glance. She was the woman singing on the stage just now. She actually approached them. Things were getting more and more interesting. “What you want to know is taboo. Come with me if you want to fi
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
