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
‘What do you mean treating you to a meal even when I’m like this? You’re the ones who are forcing me!‘No!‘Treating you to a meal? Don’t go off-topic!’Harrison could not express his misery. He had no choice but to suffer in silence. The heartless grim reaper was talking loudly in front of him. How would he dare to revolt?Especially when Philip was addressing him so intimately. Harrison could not help but tremble. Philip was just trying to aggravate him by praising him excessively. This was not fun at all! He wanted so badly to just submit to Philip right now.He could not take this anymore, especially when that kid was praising him continuously and being so generous. He was livid as he slammed his hand down on the table and yelled, “Enough! F*cking…”In the end, before Harrison could finish swearing, he saw Philip sipping his alcohol coldly from the corner of his eye. He could not help but tremble after seeing that cold action and piercing gaze.Disdain!Yes, it was disdain!
He glanced at the signboard of Tex Hall and looked for the private room his nephew told him about. When he pushed open the door, he was shocked. What was happening? Harrison and Philip were enjoying themselves inside while the beautiful woman was sitting quietly next to them.From the looks of it, this looked like a gathering of old friends.Did Harrison not tell him to come hold the fort? What was going on, then?The man walked inside and sat down after pulling a chair. He lit a cigarette and kicked the table. He yelled, “Boy, where is he? How can you enjoy yourself like this? Do you want to do this or not?”Norm West looked down on his nephew. However, he was still his nephew after all. Blood was thicker than water. He had cleaned up after Harrison’s mess plenty of times before. It was always minor things like fights and nothing major. It would be fine after he talked to the other party.However, this time, his nephew told him that both of his legs were broken. He even had to be
“It’s done?”Suddenly, the woman opened her mouth. Her voice sounded super sweet. She looked over and there was a foxy allure in her eyes.“It’s time for me to show myself now,” Juan said coldly. He was fiddling with something in his hand.He had been waiting for this day for a very long time.“Juan, I have to warn you. Philip is not as simple as you think.”That woman got up slowly and moved her red lips. She let out a soft breath and said, “I’ve been watching him for a long time and I still can’t find a chance to take action against him. You’re too impulsive. If you mess this up, the master won’t be happy.”“Margot, when did you become so cautious? He’s just a young master from the Clarke Group in Capital City. Maybe I was scared of him before, but now, he’s not even worth my time. He’s just a piece of trash!” Juan said coldly. He savored the whiskey in his hand.Margot Pearson stretched lazily and chuckled lightly. “You’re taking action without thinking this time. I won’t tel
At that moment, Philip figured that having to come here was not too bad. He was so lucky to be able to see such a hot policewoman.Especially the icy aura coming off her. It would make anyone feel a deep veneration for her.She furrowed her brows. Her delicate features were giving out the lofty quality of a strong woman. She treated all evil-doers as if they were her mortal enemies.Philip shrugged and said, “Madam, isn’t it written in your notes?”Yvette was wondering if she misheard him. What attitude was that?Jackson was shocked as well. Was this guy insane? How could he talk to Yvie like that? Was he trying to get beaten up?“What attitude is this? Do you know where you are? You should watch yourself while you’re in here,” Yvette said angrily.It was not like she had never encountered people like Philip before who refused to be obedient after they came in here. They thought they were bigshots, but in the end, they were all just Peppa Pigs.“Don’t you know where you are? Fi
Norm did not dare to lecture Yvette. He looked at her in dissatisfaction. If Yvette did not come from a huge family background, Norm would not tolerate her so much. He said, “Simms, Jackson is new and inexperienced, but you’re our number one! How can you let someone like him boss you around?”When he said that, he glared at Philip. This guy was still so arrogant even when he was already at the station. He would teach him a lesson later!“Norm, what do you mean?”Yvette naturally knew what Norm was plotting.“You guys should know that the city is trying to win the title of Civilized City. The upper management ordered us to take good care of each administrative region. We can’t allow any evil forces to run amok. If not, everyone will get punished when the upper management asks why we didn't get the title.“There are so many things happening in our administrative regions now. Mr. Warner is busy taking on the tasks given to him by upper management. He doesn’t have time to overlook mat
Waiting for someone?Norm was worried. How could this guy be so confident?“Norm, I should advise you to not get yourself involved in this.”Philip shrugged. There was a coldness in his eyes as he said, “If you really did that, would you be worthy of the uniform you’re wearing right now? Would your conscience be fine with this?”“You! What did you say?”Norm was livid. How dare this kid insult him!“You’re just a loser! You’re just rat sh*t!” Philip said coldly. He was not scared at all.Loser? Rat sh*t?Norm was beyond livid!Actually, Philip was in a horrible mood today because a loser like Norm made him feel that society was doomed. The people that the civilians were looking up to were doing misdeeds. How could the honest and good-natured people go on living like this?Even though a lot of them were the embodiment of justice, there would be a few rat droppings in the mix to ruin their good name.Philip felt that scums like these needed to be kicked out!Yvette looked a
In front of the hotel, a few men got out of the car quickly.The leader of the gang was wearing a loose black jacket. He exhaled a ring of smoke and said, “Move quickly later. Don’t mess this up. The bosses talked about this.”“Anton, what’s going on this time? Why are we in such a hurry to come here in the middle of the night? Is it an important target?”A man asked.The leader was named Anton Gooden. He was a thug who had an extraordinary identity. He had a substantial background and plenty of backers. He was always hired to do something unlawful.They would dabble in both the bright and dark sides since they were in this industry.Anton smirked and said, “The boss got a new mission. He has asked us to take care of it. Plus, he wants this guy dead or crippled at the very least! We all know the boss’ temper. Everyone will get a share of the benefit after this is done.”“Alright, we’re depending on you to take care of us in the future, Anton.”Another man said flatteringly whil
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
