“What are you doing!”Kenneth Hane hugged his broken arm, and his eyebrows furrowed into a line.“Don’t hit people in their faces and don’t laugh at other people’s poverty. What I hate most is being threatened and my brothers being threatened.”Philip sneered with ice in his eyes, making Kenneth tremble as he watched.“You… I dare you to touch me again!” Kenneth shouted, trying to embolden himself.The look in that guy’s eyes was too terrifying. When their gazes collided for a moment just now, Kenneth was already drenched in a cold sweat!“A load of nonsense!” Philip snorted frostily and raised his hand for a loud smack!The scene fell into silence! Deathly silence!He really dared to hit him!Crazy! Philip must be mad!This was everyone’s thoughts!Kenneth was stunned for a moment before he roared hysterically, “You… He…”Smack!Another slap from Philip—clean and decisive, without any hesitation!Everyone fainted!The expression on Marilyn’s face changed drastically. He
“Young Master Hane, you must think it over carefully. Melody Zander is Theo Zander’s daughter, after all. If we do this, we’re going up against Theo!” Another rich second-generation reminded Kenneth.“What are you afraid of? I’m the young master of the Hane family! Theo’s nothing but a piece of sh*t!” Kenneth said angrily.Back to the private room.Obviously, Philip had become the center of attraction.At this moment, all the other rich second-generation in the private room dared not look him in the eye. That man was a lunatic!Marilyn Chester’s face was pale, and she could not speak for a long time.Initially, she wanted to use her birthday as an excuse to invite some good friends she had made in the past to celebrate. She was using this to create an opportunity for Melody and Kenneth.That was because she knew Kenneth would not be attracted to ordinary women, and only someone like Melody would capture his interest.If only she could have settled this matter for Kenneth proper
North Street of Riverdale.This was the liveliest area in Riverdale—bars, nightclubs, entertainment centers, and foot spas. In short, any form of entertainment that one could think of would be found here!This place was one of the areas that were not governed because there was a mixture of different forces and underground operations intertwined. Everything was utter chaos!Philip got out of the car and felt a little lost. Although it was his first time here, he clearly felt that it was completely different from the downtown area of Riverdale!The girls on the side of the roads wore more revealing clothes than the other!The street was also filled with drunkards and youths wasting their time away, coming in and out from various clubs and KTVs.Philip frowned as he stood on the street and looked all around him. He muttered to himself, “Are we supposed to meet in this kind of place?”Right at this moment, a shrill sneer came from behind Philip!“Philip Clarke, we meet again! I did
“Four Dixon?”Leopard turned his head around and saw an old acquaintance.He glanced at the men behind Four and laughed in a self-deprecating manner. “I didn’t expect the little gangster who used to mess around in the streets back then to have men of his own now. It’s not bad.”Right from the start, he maintained a proud demeanor.“Leopard, you didn’t notify us that you were coming out. We could’ve picked you up.”Four was not angry but said cheerfully instead.“No need. I’m here for one person today.”Leopard said coldly, “You can take this person away, but his limbs must be broken first. This is what I’ve promised Young Master Hane.”As he spoke, an intimidating aura exuded from Leopard.“Leopard, I hope you won’t get involved in this matter. Nowadays, it’s different from the past. Riverdale is not the same as what it was like in your era anymore. Things are no longer decided by the number of men we have or if we can fight without the fear of death. In today’s society, it’s
Suddenly, a figure stepped in front of Philip!Rick Davenport had appeared!With a flash of movement, he took one step back, launched a flying kick with his right leg, and directly hit Leopard’s elbow!Clank!The bayonet in Leopard’s hand flew out in an instant and fell heavily on the ground with a loud clang!Leopard was shocked. He never expected this ordinary-looking boy to have such a capable bodyguard with him!The opponent’s strength was powerful!Rick just stared at Leopard coldly, eyes filled with indolence as if he did not take the other person seriously.With a twitch of his eyes, Leopard reacted quickly. He clenched his fists, gathered strength in his legs, and darted out. The pair of iron fists carried the power akin to a tiger’s might as they aimed for Rick’s head!Rick raised his leg and kicked sideways with great force!Bam!Instantly, a figure flew like a kite that had its strings cut and crashed heavily into a night market stall at the side of the street!R
“Ten, nine, eight, three…” Philip counted leisurely.“No, wait, why did it jump to three all of a sudden?” Kenneth was stunned and panicked.“Oh, because I want to.”Philip replied calmly, tapped the iron rod in his hand, and continued to count, “Two…”“Okay! Three million it is! I agree!”Although it was expensive, Kenneth was a sensible person. When there was life, there was hope. He could only reluctantly agree.“Heh, Young Master Hane is really a smart man! Next, let’s talk about your third leg. One price, ten million!”Philip patted Kenneth’s shoulder.Kenneth immediately cried out, “Ten… Ten million! It was only three million just now, how did it become ten million now?!”Philip waved his hand and said, “Is ten million expensive? I think it’s quite reasonable.”“No, I don’t agree! You’re jacking up the price!”Kenneth shook his head promptly. The asking price was too much. Although he started a company with his father’s support and made a lot of money over the years, i
Philip’s uncle?Wynn was taken aback for a moment before she smiled politely and courteously. “Uncle… Uncle Tim, please have a seat, I…”Wynn did not know what to say, so she was a little incoherent. She was at a loss about what to do.Tim took everything in his eyes and smiled kindly. “Has Philip never mentioned me before?”“Yeah.”Wynn smiled awkwardly and brushed her hair to the back of her ears.Philip actually had an uncle. She had never heard him mention that before.Also, looking at this uncle’s poise, he was not a simple person. He even had bodyguards following him around.Of course, Philip was the young master of Clarke Group from Capital City. His family background was not so simple.However, what was the purpose of this uncle’s sudden visit?At Wynn’s expression, Tim guessed what Wynn must be thinking, so he said, “Don’t worry. I’m just here to visit you. Philip has worked hard to keep everything from us. The little girl has suffered much at such a young age.”Whi
Wynn stood up and stared at Philip with eyes wide open. Tears were forming at the corners.He finally confessed.“How long were you planning on keeping it from me?” Wynn asked angrily.Philip hugged her waist and said, “Not for long. I already planned to tell you in the next few days. It’s because too many things have been happening at home recently. I couldn’t tell you everything. I thought that once I’ve settled everything, I’d bring you and Mila home.”Back to Arcadia Island. Philip did not tell her the entire truth.Wynn assumed it was the Clarke family in Capital City.“Really? Do you need help?” Wynn asked, worried about Philip.Her husband was getting more mysterious now, always doing things that she was not aware of.Philip touched her hair fondly and smiled tenderly as he said, “It’s fine, I can handle it. But don’t tell your parents about my identity. I’m afraid they will…”Wynn naturally understood what he meant and said in mock anger, “You still dare to bring thi
One of the trees was very big and had clearly lived for more than a thousand years. As Philip approached the exit, a tree whipped out a branch several yards long and slapped Philip. He noticed that the branch came from the biggest tree. “Sure enough, there’s more to it than meets the eye.” Philip backed away and dodged the tree’s attack. A deep pit was left where Philip stood. He frowned at the sight. The branch must have attacked with great force or it would not have smashed the ground to this state. Philip would most likely have been seriously injured if the attack had landed. Aslan and the others rushed over. “What’s going on? Is something up with that tree?” Everyone was nervous and stared at the tree solemnly. They felt that something was wrong with this place and had been keeping a close eye on Philip. Indeed, they noticed a problem with this tree. Rabbit pointed at the tree and yelled, “Philip, this big tree attacked you. Is it a monster?” Rabbit hopped around exci
Seeing Philip's confidence, the water monster became motivated and nodded with anticipation. It pointed out a direction to Philip. “Walk in this direction and you’ll see a large pool of water. You just need to enter it,” it told Philip how to go out. Philip nodded and took it into the Verge Tower. The water monster was stunned by Philip’s strength. It never thought that someone could control it so easily. As a powerful being, no one else could take it into such a space so easily. Obviously, it was no match for Philip. Philip had grabbed it so easily and locked it up in a space. “What is this place? Something doesn’t feel right.” The water monster examined the place, which did not pose any threat to it but gave it a very comfortable feeling instead. “Hey, the energy in this place is quite rich, suitable for practice. My strength would probably have soared to greater heights if that rabbit had locked me up in here.” The water monster quickly accepted its situation, already ac
“Do you mind if I keep a pet? I’ve developed some feelings for this guy and can't bear to kill him for the time being.” Philip was taken aback by the water monster’s weird mischief, but he had to admit that it was a good way of getting back at the grandmaster. Rabbit shrugged. He had no objection. Although the subject in question was the grandmaster, he had joined the wraiths. The rabbits always drew a clear line between love and hate. Joining the wraiths meant being an enemy of the rabbit family. The water monster smiled at Rabbit and gave him a thumbs-up. Everyone knew about the wraiths. “I always hear that the rabbits value friendship and loyalty, and I have to agree. This guy must be stupid to turn against you.” The grandmaster was shocked by the water monster’s strength. He had always thought that the other party surrendered obediently because it could not beat him, but it was just because it could not leave this place. “You concealed yourself really well. In that ca
Philip nodded after hearing the water monster’s remarks. “In that case, get rid of that rabbit. Show me what you can do.” Although Philip felt that this rabbit was difficult to deal with, he could still handle it with his strength. The grandmaster had only grown so big at the cost of reducing his strength. The water monster rubbed its hands excitedly at Philip’s agreement and pushed him aside. “Let me show you what I can do. That guy has been annoying me for a long time. I’ll let him have a taste of my fists!” It was simply goofing around with Philip when they fought earlier. Although it was scared of Philip’s exotic fire, it had been old rivals with the grandmaster for many years and had nothing to fear. “Old furball, get ready to die. After so many years, I think you've lived long enough!” After saying this, the water monster rushed to the grandmaster excitedly. Philip simply watched from the sidelines without getting involved. He could gauge their strength and see how
Due to that reason, the grandmaster captured the water monster and imprisoned it in this place. When his transformation into a wraith was completed, he could absorb the power of the water monster and use it to regain his strength. It was all part of his grand plan. He even triggered a conflict between the water monster and the rabbit family. Even if the water monster escaped, the grandmaster had nothing to worry about. The water monster would find ways to attack the rabbit family and would never leave them in peace. He simply had to assist the wraiths in destroying the rabbit family. “Something doesn’t seem right with your eyes. They're glowing green.” Rabbit suddenly looked at the grandmaster doubtfully as if he had discovered something. The rabbits’ eyes usually glowed red. Why were the grandmaster’s eyes glowing green? The grandmaster turned around to avoid making eye contact with Rabbit. “You don’t have to worry about my eyes,” the grandmaster said, obviously nervous.
“That rabbit has always shown up alone, so I don’t know who he is.” Rabbit said in embarrassment, “I know who that is. He’s none other than our grandmaster.” Although Rabbit had lost most of his memories, he remembered that he had a grandmaster who had a tuft of black fur on his head. His grandmaster was very strong, so he was always picking fights everywhere. If Rabbit was not mistaken, his grandmaster had tried every means to capture the water monster so that it could protect this place for him. “Your grandmaster is quite capable to have caught this water monster alive.” Philip could sense the water monster’s resentment and felt helpless about it. He thought that the grandmaster was quite inhumane. “Are you talking about me?” Before Philip could find out more, a voice suddenly rang from the side. Philip and the others turned around curiously and saw a white rabbit looking at them. Philip wondered if this was the so-called grandmaster they had been talking about. T
The water monster did not expect its army to be so weak that they could not withstand Philip’s attacks at all. It thought they could put up a fight, but Philip destroyed them easily. “That's not something I can control,” the water monster said helplessly. It could not expose the person behind him. “The person behind me is a force to be reckoned with, a powerful member of the rabbit family. Although I’m now under their control and I hate them to the core, I have no choice but to give in to them.” Philip said, “In that case, why don’t you tell me your story?” Philip was curious about this matter. After looking at Rabbit, the water monster chose to remain silent as if this matter was unspeakable. “Just speak your mind. This rabbit won’t do anything to you,” Philip said with a smile. Philip knew that the rabbit family was keeping a secret, but Rabbit had lost his memory and could not recall the past. After seeing Philip's reaction, Rabbit seemed a little conflicted as if wo
The many people in the group had to deal with a water monster each. The monsters were made of water, so no number of attacks caused any damage to them. Some monsters could even reproduce after being split into two. Philip frowned at this scene. Indeed, they were a force to be reckoned with. Philip and his team were dealing with the water monsters while Rabbit was bickering with the main guy. As the argument grew louder, the water monsters that Philip and his team were dealing with became more powerful. The water monsters appeared out of nowhere, but they were very strong. “We have to get rid of that guy or there'll be no end to these water monsters!” Philip was annoyed by this powerful opponent. They could not hurt him, which was annoying as hell. Aslan was caught up in the fight too. “These attacks of yours are just tickling me!” Aslan mocked the opponent. The next moment, the water monster waved its hand and froze Aslan on the spot. Aslan never dreamed that the oppo
Under normal circumstances, this monster would never get the better of Aslan. “Cut the crap. I’m not targeting you but this ugly rabbit. I’ll have fun with you after I deal with this rabbit!” The water monster stretched out its hand and grabbed Rabbit. To everyone, it looked like a gush of water rushing toward Rabbit. At this time, Rabbit chose the smartest and safest option, which was to hide behind Philip. Hiding behind Philip not only ensured his safety but also allowed Philip to help him deal with this thing. “Philip, I just recalled. This guy has a grudge against my rabbit family. It was captured and imprisoned in this place because it insulted my predecessor. This place is my family’s forbidden land!” Rabbit said excitedly, recalling many things. Philip nodded. He knew that this place was definitely related to Rabbit but did not expect that it was his family’s forbidden land. Thinking of this, he was full of expectation. A forbidden land should contain various treasur
