The sky was terrifyingly gloomy.The wind started blowing from all around. Thunder started clapping above their heads.It was pouring, and one by one, the cars drove out of Riverdale. They had started a long-range raid from afar.The storm had arrived at the South River District.Crash!A sudden clap of thunder flashed across the sky. It was also pouring in Jay Drago’s courtyard house. The atmosphere in his house looked solemn and somber.Jay Drago’s place was a typical Chinese courtyard house with two floors both inside and outside. The walls and tiles were black, and it was the typical architecture layout from the Qing Dynasty. It was square, and in the middle, there was a patio. One could watch the sky and the stars over there.At the center of the veranda was a Chinese ancient bronze cauldron.Right now, it was filled with rainwater. The rain poured into the cauldron, making a sound that sounded like frying beans.Jay was in the middle hall of the inner courtyard. He was i
It was raining cats and dogs.A clap of thunder rumbled across the sky.There was an austere atmosphere inside the courtyard house. The two forces were in a standoff.Jay lifted his head to look in the direction of the sound. Then, he saw a young man under the umbrella. There was a cigarette dangling from his lips and blood on his shirt. He was also wrapped up in bandages.However, this young man’s eyes were like the shooting star across the sky. There was a very strong aura and deterrent force in them.The two forces were staring each other down.There was a veranda between them and a bronze cauldron.The rain splattered into the bronze cauldron and overflowed. It sounded as if someone was frying beans. It was extremely loud.Jay’s face was gloomy. He stared at the uninvited guest who appeared in his courtyard out of nowhere and said frigidly, “Who are you? How dare you barge into my courtyard? You’re pretty ballsy.”Jay was not an idiot. These uninvited guests just barged in
“Are you scared?”Philip asked all of sudden.Next to him, Theo was the first one to answer him, “I strive for the utmost for Mr. Clarke!”“I will strive for the utmost for Mr. Clarke!”In an instant, the fighters in black suits behind Philip all yelled at the same time.Philip smiled and threw away his cigarette butt. It landed into the bronze cauldron.Crash!A sudden clap of thunder!Jay roared, “Kill them!”He did not have time to idle talk with Theo and his gang. His venues were in trouble, he had to go take a look.After that, Jay grabbed his woman and turned around. He was about to leave from the backdoor of the middle hall.There were more than 100 men inside and outside. Even if Theo was so powerful and had his men waiting outside, it would still be futile.Jay was not bothered by this. It was just a few lives.If they were to start something, he would not mind charging to Riverdale and taking over Theo’s territories.When the time came, with the South River Dist
Jay snorted and said, “You brassy kid, do you know who’s behind the Andersons?”The Andersons.That was the number one family in the South River District!They had more than ten billion in assets!The person in charge of the Andersons, Greg Anderson, knew a lot of the upper management of South River S. His connections and status were beyond one’s imagination.Plus, a huge family was supporting the Andersons.Jay was unworthy to look up to such a huge family.They were too powerful!“No matter who’s behind the Andersons, I’ll destroy them.”Philip said calmly, “Don’t forget how your fraternity crumbled in a matter of seconds when it got into my hands. When Jay heard this, his body shook.Exactly!In the face of this young man, the fraternity crumbled in seconds!Jay’s eyes widened at this. He glared at Philip angrily and yelled, “Who are you? Who the hell are you?”He had been in this field for more than 20 years and finally became the monopoly he was today. However, a na
Stab!The dagger stabbed right into Noah’s shoulder. With a crack, it broke his scapula!Then, Philip started a video call and recorded this to Greg.“Ah! Dad, save me! Dad!”Greg stood in the gigantic hall of the villa and watched as his son screamed while covered in blood. His entire body was tense as he yelled angrily, “Stop it! What do you want?”After he said that, Vivian, who had been standing there quietly for some time, said coldly, “Greg, don’t forget Madam Wallis’ order.”Greg was on the brink of an eruption. However, when he heard the words ‘Madam Wallis’, he had to control his anger. He looked at the video and said in a deep voice, “I’ll give you one billion. Let my son go and leave the South River District with your people. The Andersons will never step foot into Riverdale and all of our properties in Riverdale will also belong to you!”That was Greg’s condition, but at the same time, it was also Madam Wallis’ order.He was slicing his flesh.This would cost at le
Greg walked out of the villa. He came to the entrance while being heavily protected by his fighters.The smell of rain and soil lingered in the air.The entire Anderson family’s villa was somber. Its atmosphere was extremely intense.Greg looked at the 100 plus people behind Philip. They were standing in an orderly fashion and did not look like people who were hired randomly.However, Greg was not afraid. This was the South River District. This was his territory!Plus, this was the Andersons’ villa. It was the symbol of the entire South River District.The entire villa was built on a hill. There was another symbolic building in the villa, the Andersons’ shrine.At nighttime, the lights of the shrine could be seen from tens of miles away!Even normal civilians would stop and mourn for a few seconds when they passed by the Andersons’ shrine. That was their way of paying respect to the Anderson family.The reason was that the Anderson family was the savior of the South River Dist
When Philip said that, he lifted his eyebrow and looked at Greg opposite him.Everyone understood what Philip meant. He wanted to get back at Greg in the Andersons’ villa!Greg’s face turned red and purple from holding himself back. His son was in Philip’s hands, so he did not dare to be impulsive.“Noah, no!”Greg roared.Woosh!However, in the next second, a dagger appeared in Philip’s hand.Stab!He lifted the dagger and dropped it onto the ground next to Noah’s ear.In a blink of an eye, one of Noah’s ears was cut off.“Ah!”A blood-curdling scream. Noah clutched his bloody ear and got up challengingly without a second thought. He knelt in front of Philip and kept on kowtowing. He began to plead. “Please don’t kill me. Don’t kill me. I’m kowtowing to you…”Thud, thud, thud!The sounds of his forehead against the ground hammered on everyone’s hearts. Especially when it got into the ears of Greg and the 100 plus fighters who were working for the Anderson family. They sou
It happened while everyone was in a state of shock.Boom!Another loud noise.The villa behind Greg was razed to the ground, and it fell into a sea of flames!The impact of this explosion threw everyone backward.At that moment, half of Greg’s men were injured by the impact of the explosion.Some of them even became ashes as they were standing too close to the villa.However, they deserved this. They were all fugitives. Their dreadful crimes would still rankle even after they were dead.Greg and his men were completely stunned.This was happening too suddenly. Plus, the sea of flames was still sending shockwaves into their hearts.This was too shocking!Too horrifying!At the same time, there was a low rumble coming from the sky among the heavy smoke. It came from afar and slowly got closer. Five military helicopters sped toward the air above the Andersons’ villa.Then, they dove down with the head of the helicopter pointing downward and circled a few times above the villa
Jamie was surprised by Philip’s easygoing reaction and immediately felt the gap between him and Philip. If Jamie were in Philip’s shoes, he would be worried, but Philip was confident instead. Jamie had a lot to learn from Philip. Jamie had no idea that Philip did not take Dennis seriously at all. Philip had too many capable people under his command. He was not concerned about Dennis at all. In comparison, Dennis could be considered the most useless person under him.… On the other hand, Rabbit arrived at the market. Rabbit was quite famous among the major families by now. As a non-human with a violent temper, he was in the center of attraction wherever he went. Someone tried to kidnap Rabbit once, but not only did he fail, but the person was also beaten badly. To this day, the kidnapper was still bedridden in the hospital. Rabbit’s notorious reputation had spread far and wide, and not just anyone could deal with him. At this time, many storytellers were at the tavern tal
People in seclusion would usually not receive any news from the outside world, so contacting them would be up to luck. Therefore, Lincoln's appearance was good news for the Hexa Guild. Now that the guild was under scrutiny, Lincoln's appearance would save them a lot of trouble. Lincoln stood on the spot, looking at the yard curiously. Philip had modified the yard, so it was full of energy. Any practitioner would feel the difference at once. Jamie and the others had discovered this fact but never asked out of courtesy. Everyone had their own secret. Maybe this was Philip’s secret. Lincoln closed his eyes and felt the abundant energy. He was reluctant to leave this place that contained tens of thousands of times more energy than the place he had chosen for his seclusion. Lincoln felt conflicted. He could practice much faster in this place if the energy level remained the same. Thinking of this, he could hardly contain his excitement to practice on the spot. Seeing Jamie nex
Lincoln had never met a monster beast with intelligence! After taking a closer look at Rabbit, Lincoln had other ideas. Philip was most likely a powerful person with extraordinary strength to have such a powerful monster beast as his pet. Dennis was not a fool. Philip had to be powerful and not a coward for Dennis to willingly follow him. Thinking of this, Lincoln showed Rabbit enough respect. “Mr. Rabbit, I’m looking for Dennis from the Hexa Guild.” The guild members behind him were full of disbelief at his courtesy. They had served him for a while and knew his character very well. Lincoln would never be so polite to ordinary juniors, so this rabbit had to be unusual. Thinking of this, their attitude toward Rabbit changed from disdain to admiration. Rabbit was shocked by their eccentric behavior and looked at them skeptically. Seeing their smiling faces, Rabbit decided not to make things difficult for them. Besides, they were polite. “Oh, you’re looking for Dennis. Come
This guild member could not forget how Hogster had always stolen his resources by force. Hogster’s ugly face made him sick. Although Lincoln was back, he had lost all confidence in the guild. He just wanted to return to Dennis' side as soon as possible. Although he was a member under the guild leader, Dennis was the one who had been helping him all along. In fact, if not for Dennis’ support over the years, even Alain would not have achieved what he had today. Hence, this guild member had always been grateful to Dennis. When Dennis left, he wanted to leave with him, but due to special circumstances, he stayed until now. Unexpectedly, it came in handy. Alain was excited to hear that. In Alain's opinion, such a lowly member would not dare to lie to him, so he had to be telling the truth. He knew that this was his chance to settle everything once and for all. Alain had been worried that Lincoln would blame him, but Lincoln was deceived instead, which was great. He had nothing t
Lincoln had a very good reputation, so the guild members dropped their guard and started to complain about everything. “Grandmaster, we've been having a hard time. Hogster always deducts our practice resources and gives them to the women he likes. It’s infuriating. We don’t even have that many resources to begin with,” a member said miserably. He had good talent, but Hogster did not give him any good resources, so his level remained stagnant. All his resources had been given to the women who had caught Hogster’s fancy. Lincoln scowled upon hearing this. How could Hogster take other people’s resources? He would not allow this to happen. “They also tried every means to arrange a political marriage with the Celestial Palace, but the agreement fell through, and they badmouthed the other party for it!” “They defamed the young lady of the guild, and now, they're furious at us. Their wrath is not a joke. Moreover, someone solved the side effects of their practice technique, but we'v
If Philip was at fault, Lincoln had nothing to say. However, if Hogster was the one who had caused all the trouble, he would not spare them. “I’ll get to the bottom of this. Now, tell me what’s going on with Dennis. Based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't betray the guild for no reason. He must have a reason for doing this!” Neither of them could explain what happened to Dennis. They could only say that humans were fickle. After all, they could not figure it out either. The person at fault would never admit their fault. Alain did not think that he was biased or thought that what he had done was excessive. He simply thought that Dennis looked down on him, which was why he decided to leave. Now that he was gone, Alain could say whatever he wanted, and Dennis could not defend himself. Thinking of this, Alain was very excited. He began to defame Dennis and shifted the attention away from him and his son. Lincoln scowled as he listened. Then, he returned to his room and summ
Alain was helpless. Although he had a lot to say, he could not do anything in front of Lincoln. Lincoln was stronger than him in every aspect, a force to be reckoned with. He was not someone Alain could deal with. Alain looked at Lincoln awkwardly. He wanted to appease his anger but did not know what to say. “You need to explain this to me. Why did Dennis leave? And I want to know why the guild’s reputation has become so bad. Did you do something wrong?”Lincoln heard that Dennis had been expelled and could no longer stay in the guild. Many people supported Dennis, so they were upset with Alain and tried to defame him. Hearing that, Alain knew that someone must have been talking behind his back, but he did not dare to lose his temper. He forced a smile and looked at Lincoln in a flattering manner. Before he could find an excuse, Hogster rushed over excitedly and said to his father, “Father, guess what I did to Philip? Hehe!” Hogster recounted his handiwork smugly without p
It had been years since the grandmaster went into seclusion for practice. He was not concerned about power. He once mentioned that he would not leave his seclusion unless he reached the top. Hence, no one expected to see him. “Grandmaster, you appeared at the right time. We would've been in trouble if you didn't come out!” “That’s right. Everyone is bullying us. Now that you’re out, you can help us.” Everyone complained about their grievances, feeling sorry for themselves. The Hexa Guild was in trouble, and they faced various problems too. All the major guilds were keeping a close eye on the Hexa Guild, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. The Celestial Palace planned to destroy the Hexa Guild instead of letting them off. They could not accept the initial setup, so they decided to erase the Hexa Guild from existence. Hence, the Hexa Guild had been under great pressure, with the members wishing that someone could help them. Unexpectedly, a strong expert appeared.
Ronan was his buddy, and his wife's reputation was at stake. Philip could not stand idly by. He had to help. Jamie was very fast at ordering his people to make the matter public. No one expected another dramatic turn of events. Everyone thought that the young lady of the Celestial Palace was an unchaste woman for making that decision. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Palace found a way to solve the side effects of their technique. All the major guilds were in trepidation. Although the Celestial Palace’s technique was very powerful, the side effects reduced its allure. Now that that problem was solved, everything was different. On top of that, the holy maiden and other members of the guild showed their appearance in public. Regardless of gender, everyone was beautiful without any markings on their faces. After seeing this scene, everyone knew that the Celestial Palace was about to make a comeback. Carlos was very excited and thought that Vanna was a lucky star to bring so many
