“It’s fine. I know the limit. This guy can’t die yet.”Philip chuckled and said.When the tattooed guy heard what Philip said, he trembled in fear. When he was about to say something, he inhaled the cold air that smelled of blood.It was as if his legs did not belong to him anymore. He had never experienced this kind of excruciating pain before.Due to the pain in his legs, the tattooed man lied on the floor while moaning for a very long time. He was calling for help in a small voice.He opened his mouth. He wanted to scream for help.Pfft!When he opened his mouth, a very spicy powder invaded his nostrils and mouth.“You want to call for help? Why didn’t you do it before? You can’t blame others for your stupidity.”Philip’s gaze was ferocious. He was holding a bag of chili powder.The tattooed man felt as if he was going to be choked to death. The spicy chili powder was being stuffed into his nostrils and mouth. At that moment, he felt as if his soul had left his body. He wa
The entire room was filled with the pungent smell of urine. It was also combined with the smell of chili powder.The tattooed guy was beyond petrified now. He had even fainted from fear.Philip looked at Nina helplessly. Then, he spread out his hands to tell her that this guy was too timid. He yanked the tattooed man’s hair and dragged him to the kitchen. He splashed a basin of water on his face and the guy woke up.When he opened his eyes and saw Philip, he was terror-stricken. He shivered while yelling for help on the floor.His eyes were filled with tears. He was screaming until his voice was hoarse.“How is it? Are you awake now? Alright then, it’s time to talk about the compensation like civilized members of society.”Philip was smiling mockingly as he said.Compensation?The tattooed man was so touched that he wanted to cry. ‘You should indeed compensate me after hitting me!‘He’s a coward, after all. He even wants to bribe me.’ The tattooed man started plotting in his h
Nina asked all of a sudden with red eyes. She grabbed Philip’s arm bravely. She looked vulnerable and fragile. “I’m scared. I’m scared that Harrison will come back with more people.”Philip lowered his head and looked at Nina’s hands that were on his arm. He removed her hands slowly and chuckled. “It’ll be fine. That guy’s just strong in appearance but weak in reality. If he dares to come back, just call me.”After chatting with Nina for a while, Philip left.He could not stay here any longer. It was just the two of them.Philip was still defensive.Nina did not force him to stay. She walked him downstairs.Philip waved his hand and put his hands into his pockets. He hummed a song and walked away carefreely.In Nina’s eyes, Philip’s back looked broad and strong. Perhaps, this was the man she should go after.She was sure that this would be another sleepless night.When Nina got back to her house, she saw that there were three men in her house.The leader of the three men was
Philip explained. “Don’t worry about this matter, Wynnie. A friend of mine introduced Buffer to me. Don’t overthink. Just take good care of the company.”Wynn wanted to say something but stopped herself. When she wanted to ask something else, the door of the room was opened.Martha stood at the door with a grin. She did not care about their expressions as she barged in. She smiled and asked, “I heard you two saying that you’ve solved the company’s trouble?”“Mom, why are you always eavesdropping?”Wynn felt helpless. She lifted her eyebrow.Her mother did not have a limit at all. This was not the first time she eavesdropped.Martha rolled her eyes at Wynn and ignored her. Then, she turned around to look at Philip with a grin on her face. She said, “Philip, did you take care of it? You even have such an amazing friend. When can you invite them for dinner at our place? After all, they’ve helped us so much.”Martha was being extremely amiable right now.Philip smiled and said, “Ma
Why did Martha steal the card?She had remembered something last night. When she checked the balance in the bank the previous time, she saw that there was 100 billion in the balance!Everyone said she was just seeing things. Even the bank said the system was faulty.However, Martha did not believe them. She wanted to go see for herself.At this moment, Philip was already at the hospital. He saw Mila and Anne.Mila called him in the sweetest voice and jumped into his arms.Philip held Mila and was beaming. His daughter was the source of his happiness. “Did you miss Daddy?”“Yeah!” Mila answered adorably and obediently.When Anne saw the happy father and daughter, a smile appeared on her face.“Annie, pack your things. Let’s go home,” said Philip.On the way back to the villa, Philip got Nina’s phone call. She said she needed to see him.After pondering for a while, Philip decided to let Anne take Mila back to the villa first. Then, he called a cab to go to the office.Philip
“What’s wrong with my card?”Martha was anxious. She tried to crane her neck over to the other end of the glass to see what was on the computer screen.“Madam, I’m sorry. We can’t check the balance of your card for the time being. Plus, our branch doesn’t have the permission to check your card. You need to go to our headquarters.”The woman behind the counter said apologetically.This was the first time she encountered this.There were two big red words on her computer screen that spelled out ‘No permission’.What was going on?“Why is this happening? Can you try checking it again? I remember seeing a lot of money on this card previously.”Martha refused to give up.The woman behind the counter did not know what to do as well. She got up and fetched the manager.When the manager got here and saw the words ‘no permission’ on the screen, he was puzzled as well.He had been working here for 20 years but never encountered this before.He even asked Martha to reenter the pin. Ho
After a long while, she finally saw an elegant figure walking down the spiral stairs. She was wearing a long black dress and there was a Persian in her arms.With every step, the woman’s high heels clicked against the tiles. Martha felt as if her heart had been struck.Giada!It was Giada!Martha was petrified.What did she want?Giada looked at Martha who was trembling all over and sat down on the sofa. She caressed her Persian and said coldly, “We meet again, Martha.”“M-Madam Wallis, what are you doing? I didn’t do anything wrong, did I?”Martha was terror-stricken. She was scared that Giada would hit her again.There was a cold smile on Giada’s lips, and her eyes were filled with disdain. She said, “I didn’t call you here for any particular reasons. I just want you to do something for me. Once you do it, you’ll get five million bucks.”After she said that, Giada’s subordinate took out five silver boxes and placed them in front of Martha.When the boxes were opened, there
At this moment, Philip’s phone rang!It was from George!He put down the glass and walked out of the hall. “Old Man George, how’s it going…”His voice got softer and softer as he walked further away.Martha let out a sigh of relief when she saw Philip putting down the glass. She was extremely fidgety.Thankfully, he did not drink it.However, Martha started to panic again. She had already used one packet, which meant she only had two more chances left.Should she let Philip drink this?Martha was feeling nervous. It was not poison, so he would not die.After Philip walked out of the hall, he went to a corner. George’s respectful voice sounded from the other end of the phone. He said, “Young Master, we couldn’t find Mr. Fennel Leigh in Chinatown. I went to his place, but he’s not there anymore.”“Not there anymore?”Philip frowned. After staying silent for a while, he said, “Alright, understood. Just find a place to stay over there and keep in touch with him.”After he hung
Yule was amazed by the person in the portrait, not expecting to see such a beautiful woman. He was somewhat skeptical after seeing the drawing. He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. Could it be the other party’s imagination? “Don’t worry, Yule. This woman is definitely real. I have an eye for beauty, so I’d never make a mistake.” Yule nodded at his subordinate's suggestive expression. Even if he was unreliable in other aspects, he would never mess up in this area. He was notorious for hanging out in various entertainment venues and was not a good guy. Yule quickly made copies of the woman’s portrait and spread the news everywhere. He looked forward to meeting this beautiful woman as soon as possible. In the meantime, Aslan finished his meal and walked on the streets idly. Yule stood on the streets, confident that he would find the woman with so many people helping him. “Hey, what's going on? Why is Foxy’s portrait posted everywhere? Has someone discovered he
“No matter what I do next, you and your people just need to go with the flow. If you agree, I’ll do my best to take care of the beast problem immediately. Of course, you don't have to worry about my source of information. My lips are sealed on this topic.” Yule quickly reached an agreement with these people. Then, Yule arrived at a remote house where all his men were hiding. He asked his men to do something unlawful for him, and they entered the beast forest by mistake because they wanted to escape justice, but they ran into Foxy by accident. Foxy realized from birth that she and her kind had a grudge against humans, but she was an inexperienced youngling, after all. She did not know much about humans and failed to notice their ulterior motives. The other party took note of Foxy’s appearance and made a detour back to safety. Yule arrived at his subordinate’s house anxiously. “Tell me everything you know about that person again. I have some information but it’s not compreh
“Let’s do it this way. We can treat this as a test. If he can solve this problem, we’ll give him a chance.” “That’s a good idea. The beasts have always been a thorn in our sides. It’ll be great if we can take care of this once and for all.” “Since he looks so confident, maybe he can really resolve this. We might as well make use of him to get rid of this problem.” “The beasts have been fighting with us for many years. We can save a lot of trouble if this plan succeeds.” Everyone expressed their opinion and seemed very keen to rely on Yule to solve this difficult problem. Ten minutes were soon up, and Yule quickly returned to the room. He looked very relaxed and even had a drink in his hand. “So, gentlemen, are you done with the discussion? Do you have a better suggestion for my future development?” Yule smiled triumphantly, obviously certain of his victory. As he expected, everyone chose to give in. After all, this was not something anyone could do. Yule would be the best
Yule felt very smug after seeing everyone’s reactions. Clearly, these people could only rely on him to take care of this problem. “Since you’re so curious, let me explain. Indeed, someone is controlling the situation behind the scenes. She can easily control the beasts with her ability. However, I don’t know the woman’s identity. Maybe she’s a powerful being or just an ordinary person. Who knows?” Yule's subordinates were the ones who told him what they saw that day. “I know that woman’s appearance, so I know what to do. You don’t have to worry about it.” Everyone glanced at each other with a grim look, wondering if they should believe Yule. After all, Yule knew something they did not. “Hehe, I just wanted to tell you my plans, that’s all.” Yule wanted to take control of the initiative. The elders and people in charge looked worried. They knew exactly what Yule wanted. “I want a certain authority. Of course, it should be higher than my father’s limit. As you know, I’ve al
Compared to the money they earned at Deadly Arena, the accommodation fee was nothing. Therefore, many people chose to stay in the living quarters provided by Deadly Arena and thought the environment was quite good. The people of Deadly Arena knew about the crisis they were facing. Something felt wrong, so they had to pay attention to it. “Don’t you find the beasts acting strangely this time? They didn’t seem interested in our things but simply left after giving us a warning.” “Yeah, I think something is wrong too. There must be a secret behind it. We have to figure it out.” The people in charge of Deadly Arena gathered for a meeting over this major incident. Yule looked at everyone with disdain as if he thought they were worried over nothing. “The beasts obviously recognized our strength, so they backed away. Stop worrying over nothing.” Yule had always thought highly of himself and looked down on everything. Hearing this, everyone scowled and wished they could teach Yule
“Foxy was the one controlling the beast stampede earlier. The beasts would've razed this place to the ground if I hadn't stopped them in time.” Philip shook his head helplessly. The fence around Deadly Arena had been flattened during the stampede, enough to prove how terrible the earlier battle was. “But of course!” Foxy nodded smugly. The people here would probably be in bad shape if she had not stopped the attack in time. Philip smiled and shook his head. “This young lady is a force to be reckoned with. She simply had to blow a flute to control all the beasts.""I'm sure that all the guilds will try every means to capture Foxy if they find out about her ability,” Lyle said, envious of her ability. Aslan sighed awkwardly. As a monster beast, he had no ability in other areas at all. He could only use his brawn to intimidate others. As if he felt the difference in strength, Aslan lowered his head and was too embarrassed to say another word. Foxy chatted with everyone happil
Aslan was surprised to see Philip bringing a petite and beautiful woman back all of a sudden. “Hey, Philip, where did you pick up such a beautiful woman? I'm so envious.” “You sure have luck with women, Philip. You picked up such a beautiful woman just by going out. It’d be great if I have such luck too.” Aslan and Lyle started teasing Philip, annoying him so much that he almost knocked them out. “Cut the crap. Her name is Foxy, and she's our new teammate. Come with me, everyone. We need to find a safe place to discuss our next plans.” Philip quickly took everyone away. He looked very excited, obviously looking forward to his next plan. Everyone nodded excitedly at Philip’s appearance. They were also curious, wondering what Philip was going to do. Since the beasts had retreated, everyone returned to the lounge area for a break without further ado. Deadly Arena would also be closed for the day and reopen the next day. The inn Philip chose for them was quite luxurious, an
Since their master was dead, these subordinates had to approach the people of Deadly Arena for help. They would be bullied without a master to take charge. They finally found a chance to join a strong employer. Now that he was dead, everyone was at a loss for what to do. “What? He’s dead? This is too much. Find out who those people are. I don’t care which force they belong to or who they have behind them, we need to wipe them out!” This person was Amos, the second in command of Deadly Arena. He knew how to deal with such provocation. “These people are too bold to touch a member of my family. Everyone knows that our children are powerful and undefeatable on this battlefield.” The second in command was annoyed and not in the mood to deal with this incident. His anger over this matter added to his initial agitation. His subordinates were surprised to see his irritation. “What’s wrong, Amos? Why are you so upset? Are the beasts up to something again?” As the second-in-comma
On the battlefield, Aslan was puzzled by the beasts’ sudden retreat. “Maybe the beasts are scared shitless by our strong combat power and decided to give up.” “You got that right. I killed several of them at once and looked really cool.” “But I have a feeling that the beasts this year are much stronger and have greater potential.” Everyone spoke excitedly. The people who killed many beasts had returned for their rewards. They thought highly of the rewards and could not wait to take all the treasures of Deadly Arena.… “Can you control the beasts from a distance?” Philip asked curiously. Foxy nodded. “I can control these beasts no matter where I am. It’s my individual talent.” Since everything went as planned, Philip pondered what to do next. “You should come with me. I’ll tell you about my next plan in detail.” Philip decided to bring Foxy into Deadly Arena. Foxy nodded seriously. She trusted Philip very much and never doubted him at all. He felt a little embarra
