“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
Anton was furious. The anger on his face was getting more and more obvious.His voice was deep when he frowned and chuckled. “Yvette, are you trying to stop us? Do you know this Philip person? You should know that he’s wanted by Mr. Hull! If you stop us from carrying out our orders, I’ll beat you up even if you have an extraordinary identity.”Yvette frowned and shook her head. She looked more and more determined.These people were all local bullies. They did not have the right to barge in here!They also did not have the right to take Philip away!However, because of Mr. Hull’s power, Yvette could not cross the line.She said slowly, “I’m not stopping you from carrying out your duties. I just want to see the relevant documentation. If not, I have the right to not hand him to you.”Yvette continued coldly. “So, I can’t hand him to you just like this. If you insist on taking him away, sure, you can go and tell Mr. Warner!”After Anton heard that, he was even more furious. If the
Anton turned around and gestured to his men. He said, “Show him what you got and take good care of him. Loosen his muscles and bones!”“Yes, Anton!”The two of them cracked their necks and clenched their fists. They had cold smirks on their faces as they approached Philip slowly.According to what Anton said, Philip should die here today. He did not have a choice. He crossed someone he should not have, so he had to pay for what he did!Philip had a cold smirk on his face. The coldness on his face was getting more and more intense. There was also a hint of sadness in his eyes. He said, “I’m afraid you’ll have to suffer the brutal consequences.”“Hehe, do you think you’re a savage, kid? Get him!”Anton roared.After the two men heard that, they charged at Philip aggressively.The outsiders did not know what was happening inside the room. As long as no one died, then everything would be fine.That was the confidence of the Hull Clan. They were secure in the knowledge that they ha
He looked at Philip and smiled sinisterly. He widened his eyes and said, “Aren’t you so strong? Try again! I want to see if you’re faster than my pistol!”He was not scared anymore. Now that he had a pistol, he believed that Philip would not be faster than his bullet.Did he think he was John Wick?He had to kill Philip today! If not, he would cause them endless calamities.Anton had been doing this for so many years, so he had a quick brain. At that moment, he understood completely. He laughed sinisterly, then pulled the trigger.Woosh!Someone jumped in from the window. With a lift of his right arm, a silver glint flashed across the air.Bang!The sound of a gunshot!In a blink of an eye, Anton felt excruciating pain in his wrist.Then, the pain spread all over his body.Clank!Under immense pain, both of his hands lost their strength and the pistol fell on the ground.Philip stood there unharmed. The shot missed him and landed on the wall behind Philip. There was a bull
Carlos thought Philip would do something to him, but Philip simply handed him something he took out of his pocket. “Try practicing this technique.” After Philip handed him the item, he stared at Carlos, waiting for the result. Carlos was relieved to hear it. He had thought Philip was going to do something to him, but it turned out that Philip simply wanted Carlos to try a technique out. Carlos smiled and shook his head. “We can’t practice other techniques different from our own unless someone can make improvements to our existing technique. Only then do we have the chance to learn something new. But do you know how difficult it is to improve a technique?” Carlos smiled helplessly. Their people had been trying to improve their technique forever. After all, the side effects of the technique were simply annoying, but it was easier said than done. Their predecessors had been studying it for years but to no avail. They had no choice but to give up. Now, only one elder was resp
“Since she’s one of your people, she can stay, but don’t try to do anything,” Philip said. Philip glanced at the holy maiden. Before he could say anything else, something appeared in his mind. It was the technique she practiced. Philip had no idea what happened. He had merely glanced at her when her technique appeared in his mind. Although it was weird, Philip did not think it was a bad thing. Instead, he was happy. He knew that it was a special ability. Thinking of this, Philip was in a good mood. He went back to his room after excusing himself. He wanted to study the technique carefully. It would be best if he could discover something. The holy maiden watched indignantly as Philip left. Jamie knew that Celeste’s biggest advantage was her looks. She was so beautiful that the holy maiden felt the pressure. “Stay here with peace of mind and treat it as your own home. No need for formalities,” Celeste said to them with a smile as if she were the mistress of the house. Jam
Philip waved his hand. That was not what he meant. At this time, Celeste walked out of her room. She had fallen in love with cooking and always immersed herself in the kitchen, figuring out different recipes. In the past, Celeste lived alone in the gloomy forest without freedom or friends. After meeting Philip, she became more vibrant. Celeste would feel a sense of achievement whenever Philip ate the food she cooked. Seeing her, Philip greeted Celeste and introduced the visitors to her. “I don’t need a maid. I already have someone to take care of the household chores. Thank you for your kindness,” Philip said with a smile. Celeste had been doing a good job, so Philip did not think he needed another woman to take care of him. The more women around, the more trouble there would be. The holy maiden froze in surprise at the sight of such a beautiful woman around Philip. Although she was not ugly, she had to live with this ugly appearance until her marriage because of that nas
“That’s enough. Stop talking about me. You might as well think about how to deal with Hogster and the others. The Hexa Guild will definitely come after you.” Philip greeted Jamie calmly without taking the incident seriously at all. Seeing his reaction, Jamie thought that Philip was more and more unfathomable. The Hexa Guild was making a big fuss over this case. Many guilds had accepted the Hexa Guild’s gifts and now stood in opposition to the Celestial Palace. Although this matter had nothing to do with those guilds at all, they accepted the Hexa Guild's gifts in exchange for hyping the news up. It would be best if the two guilds fought. Maybe they could take advantage of the situation in the process! The other major guilds were waiting to watch the excitement too. They hoped that the Celestial Palace would be affected by this incident and it would maybe result in them losing the guild competition. Philip was also quite interested in the guild competition but was more curious
“Vanna mentioned that you enjoy drinking, so I prepared some fine wine for you.” Ronan said it so smoothly that he must have practiced it. Jamie was surprised to see Ronan taking a bottle of wine from his pocket, not at the wine itself. It proved that Ronan had a storage space. Thinking of this, Jamie felt better. Since Ronan had a storage space, he had to have a strong backing. Carlos had determined from various aspects that Ronan was a man with good character. In that case, Jamie had nothing more to worry about, and he could feel at ease again. “We’re about to hold a competition between the guilds. You can join us if you’re interested. Since you’re already part of us, you should do your best. If you can win the competition, I’ll consider officially acknowledging your identity.” Jamie seemed like a gentle and easygoing person. Ronan was excited by his words. He never dreamed that he would have the opportunity to be acknowledged. Ronan thought that he was unworthy of Vann
Jamie was startled. He never thought that someone would speak to him in this manner. With his high and mighty status, everyone spoke to him politely except Carlos. He was not used to someone treating him so frivolously. “I'm here to look for someone,” Jamie said with a smile. The rabbit meant no harm, so Jamie did not have to act like a domineering guild leader. Rabbit stepped aside. “Of course, I know you’re here to look for someone. There’s no other reason to be here otherwise. It's just a matter of whether you can see them.” Rabbit hopped away. He just wanted to see if it was a good or bad guy. After all, troublemakers would be taught a good lesson. Carlos walked out calmly with a teacup. He had fallen for the taste of tea. Philip’s tea was simply perfect. He would feel a fluctuation in his strength after drinking it. He was ecstatic at the discovery and was unwilling to return to the guild now. Taking a sip, he realized that someone familiar was standing at the door and
“I’m surprised that the Celestial Palace would be so shameless. Since they refuse to do things my way, they shouldn't blame me for doing this.” Alain decided to make good use of this incident to guilt-trip the Celestial Palace. He told his people to spread the news of the Celestial Palace to the public. All of a sudden, everyone knew that the young lady of the Celestial Palace had married another man without consent. The incident caused an uproar, and everyone was talking about it. It was one of the most explosive pieces of news in the world of practitioners. The Celestial Palace was a large guild that valued the personal conduct of their guild members. A member would be punished for doing such a thing, but their young lady had rebelliously chosen to be with a man of unknown origins. The news was all hyped up, and everyone waited to watch the excitement. Of course, the people of the Celestial Palace heard the news too. The guild leader scowled upon receiving it. He did not th
Sure enough, Alain was very angry. He stared at Dennis in disbelief, surprised at his defeat. “How did you end up losing? Is he really as strong as the rumors said? I refuse to believe that a little brat can bring you any harm!" Alain subconsciously felt that Dennis had not done his best. Alain was sure that Dennis was being overdramatic. Dennis had always been a powerful god of war. This unexpected outcome was simply impossible. Thus, he felt that Dennis had not done his best to fulfill his duty. “Although I only exchanged one move with that young man, I could easily tell his level. I could feel that he’s more talented than Hogster. I believe it’ll be a great help for us if we can take him under our wing.” Dennis was doing it for the benefit of the guild. It would be an advantage to the guild if they could get Ronan. However, his words infuriated Alain instead. He was angry at Dennis’ stupid suggestion. “Ronan is clearly not the same as us. No matter how strong he is, he
Although Dennis could not be bothered with Hogster, he had to fight for the chance to recruit Ronan. However, Ronan shook his head. “I already have Philip, so you can forget about it. So, do you still want to fight? I don't mind showing you my strength.” Ronan had simply executed a casual move just now, so it could not be considered a full-blown display of his powers. If Dennis still wanted to fight, he would oblige. Dennis shook his head. He could clearly tell that he was no match for Ronan. Although he wanted to teach Ronan a lesson, he would only end up tragically if he went ahead with it. He did not doubt that Ronan could easily crush him. “Please excuse our intrusion today.” Dennis bowed to Ronan and left without another word. He did not want to stay in this unpleasant place any longer. He was the third elder, a person of high status. Not to mention suffering an easy defeat, but he also had to apologize to the person who defeated him, which was simply woeful. The perso
