“Young man, why are you all alone here?” the other party asked gently. Abell was stunned. “Who are you?” Abell asked curiously. Abell did not know this man, but he approached Abell to strike up a conversation. He had to be up to something. The other guy did not expect that Abell was too smart to be fooled and asked about his identity instead. This person was none other than Manta Jacob. He had been hanging around Philip's residence to keep an eye on him. He saw a man walking out of Philip's residence who did not look like someone from Imperial City, given his strange attire. The man seemed very down as if he had encountered something very depressing. Manta was interested to find out what was going on. Manta was surprised by Abell’s caution but did not hide his identity. “I’m the first apprentice of the Spada Guild, also the most promising member of the guild. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Abell became wary upon hearing Manta’s introduction. He had lost most of
“I don't have a teacher. I was just kicked out by these people. They kidnapped my mother. I don’t know what will happen to her.” Tears welled up in Abell’s eyes. Although he wanted to seek revenge, he could do nothing but sigh at this point. He was not a practitioner and had no way to resist them. Manta was surprised. He could not help feeling that Abell’s words sounded strange, but this was a good opportunity to deal with Philip. It would be best if he could take this mysterious figure from South City with him. “In that case, everything’s fine. Come with me. I'll take you back to the mountain now.” Manta recently got hold of a mysterious technique that could quickly improve his strength and double it for a short duration. This feature was quite attractive, but Manta did not dare to practice it readily. He had some basic skills, which might bring side effects if he practiced something else. Unlike the person in front of him who had no foundation at all. It might be a good
Abell accepted the pill gratefully and was shocked to learn of its effects. Abell was cooped up in the mountains all year round and had no idea about such valuable pills. He and the other villagers could be seen as primitive people in this world. After much deliberation, Manta finally left. He planned to check up on Abell after some time. If Abell died because of it, Manta would not practice the technique. If Abell was alive and kicking, he would start practicing it. The technique he gave to Abell was a handwritten copy and not important at all. Meanwhile, Abell flipped through the book at home. The content was easy to understand, and he only had to read it several times to memorize it by heart. Although he had never learned such things before, he was quite gifted in this area. He was a young talent, after all. Combined with his mother’s genes, this outcome was to be expected. Abell quickly felt something flowing through his body, which was energy according to the book.
However, Abell was not sure if his mother would still be alive when he achieved success. To save his mother as soon as possible, he had to work hard. Philip and the others packed their things in preparation for the training ground. They did not plan to get involved in Neon’s affairs any further. Even if Neon killed Julie, it had nothing to do with them. Philip had fulfilled Neon’s request, so he would not interfere in what happened next. “Philip, I'm quite interested in their training ground. I don’t think such ordinary little guilds would have a great training ground,” Aslan said curiously. He looked expectant as if he was interested in such an inadequate place. Philip shook his head. He did not know either. The next moment, Philip and Aslan arrived at the Spada Guild again. The guild looked very grand, a large force at a glance, but that did not prevent Aslan from looking down on it. It was just an ordinary guild no matter how grand the building looked. The guil
At Riverdale Public Hospital. “Excuse me, make way!” Philip Clarke was carrying an unconscious little girl as he rushed into the hospital, yelling madly, “Doctor! Doctor! Quick, save my little girl!” The nurses and doctor who had rushed out quickly took the child from Philip’s arms, and entered the emergency room. “Oh, you can’t go in!” A nurse in an azure-colored uniform with a face mask stopped Philip from entering into the emergency room. Just then, the rapid sounds of high heels clicking against the ceramic tiles could be heard from the back, squeezing his heart with every click. “Philip Clarke!” roared a woman’s voice. ‘Slap!’ A crisp slap came in firm contact with Philip’s cheek. Before him, stood Wynn Johnston with an enraged expression as tears pooled in her beautiful eyes. “If anything happens to my daughter, I will never forgive you!” Her tone was cold and laced with full fury. This scene frightened quite a few patients and their family members in the hospital
Philip’s expression changed, frowning slightly. Seeing Philip in his delivery uniform, looking shabby, Lily pointed at the door and said, “Get out now, we don’t allow delivery men here.” “I’m not here for delivery,” explained Philip. Lily tidied her bangs before crossing her arms and said icily, “This is not the first time I hear this. Everyone that comes in here says they’re not delivery men. Please!” “I’m not. I’m here to see George Thomas.” Feeling exasperated, Philip headed inside after saying that. “F*ck! Are you mad? Didn’t you hear what I was saying?” Lily was furious. It was her first time seeing such a shameless delivery man who would just force his way in after being denied entry. Just then, a department manager seemed to have heard the commotion and came out with an ugly expression. “What’s going on?” “Manager Stuart, this delivery man is trying to force his way into our office!” Lily pointed at Philip and then continued with much disdain, “I’ll get security to
“It’s just money. Who said I didn’t manage to borrow any?” Philip glared viciously at Juan. Juan was dumbstruck as his expression froze. When the surprise was still evident in his eyes, Philip tossed the plastic bag in his hand in front of him and Wynn. The bag fell with a loud thud and rolls of cash appeared before their eyes. The corner of Juan’s eye twitched slightly as his lips trembled. His hands had subconsciously balled into fists. Wynn was surprised. She stared at the money Philip had tossed in front of them, confused, but then her expression immediately turned cold as anger surfaced in her eyes. Where did Philip get all this money? If he had this, why didn’t he take it out earlier? I even had to keep another man company by chatting happily with him! Doesn’t he know how tiring it is? “Here’s a hundred thousand. I’m paying you back all at once, including the past loans! Don’t ever come here again,” said Philip coldly. Juan did not take the money. To be frank, this
Wilson was now boiling with anger! That madman blocked the new boss’ Bentley! Was he looking for trouble? “Philip Clarke, what are you still standing there for? Get out of the way!” Wilson pointed at Philip and barked at him. Philip had only just parked his scooter when he received another round of scolding from Wilson. “Oh no! Philip’s done for this time. Brother Wil’s going to have a fit.” “Ten complaint calls, and this crazy guy still has the guts to come back!” “This will cost at least two hundred in deductions, that’s a day’s work!” A few staff were gossiping quietly, and some others were enjoying the show. Among them were some old staff who used to work for Philip. When they saw the man reduced to the point of having to become a delivery man just like them, they started becoming more mean toward him. Philip was already used to it. Just then, Mr. Tanks glanced at Philip coldly. He looked annoyed and asked, “Manager Young, is this your staff?” Wilson quickly answere
