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
“What are you doing?”Anton was terrified. When he saw Philip taking the bloody golf club from the floor, even his soul started trembling.Before Anton could finish talking, Philip took the chair and smashed it against his knees!Smash!“Ah!”Anton screamed in pain.His screams of pain reverberated in the room.“Are you going to call him or not?”“I-I don’t know what you’re talking about…”Smash!“Ah!”Another scream. Anton’s other kneecap was smashed as well.“Are you going to call him now?”Philip’s expression looked vicious.“I’ll call… I’ll call… Please stop hitting me…”Anton could not stand this anymore. He had never felt this kind of pain before.At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open aggressively.Norm stood at the entrance of the room. What he saw was the horrible state of the room while his nose was invaded by the pungent and metallic smell of blood.Norm inhaled heavily and his nostrils were filled with the smell of blood. He almost passed out
Everyone was surprised by the appearance of a talking rabbit, and it was very expressive too. Someone who did not know the situation would think that it was a human! On the way here, they heard some rumors about this rabbit having an amazing storage space. It sounded spectacular, but no one believed it. After all, even people of their status could not get a storage space. How could a mere rabbit own such a legendary treasure? Hence, everyone was surprised to see Rabbit for themselves. “Sir, is that the mysterious and powerful rabbit that was rumored outside? Why don’t we catch it and see if we can find something about it? Even if there’s nothing special about that rabbit, it’s fun to keep a talking rabbit around!” a lapdog said excitedly, clearly very curious about this talking rabbit. “You’re right. Who can refuse a talking rabbit? It’s fun to keep it as entertainment. If I use it to pick up women, I believe more women will fall in love with me!” Hogster was very excited and
Although Carlos was not that concerned about appearance, he was not fond of the idea of Vanna being together with an ugly man either. He wanted Vanna to find bliss too. Hogster was angry at Celeste’s provocation and shocked that someone would turn him down. He had to say that some secular women were ignorant and blind. In his opinion, she ignored him simply because she did not know how powerful he was. Only the women in the guild were smart enough to please him. “Carlos, since I’m here, let’s have a good chat. I plan to take Vanna away!” Hogster looked at Carlos with confidence. Although Carlos was someone he couldn't afford to offend, Hogster had his pride too. As the heir to his guild, his status was noble. Carlos sneered at his arrogance. Hogster expected to take Vanna away with just one remark. He really thought highly of himself. Carlos’ mission was to protect Vanna. He was not concerned about anything else. “Do you think just anyone can take the young heiress of Cel
Ronan frowned when someone kicked the door open. Carlos and his men woke up from their drunken stupor as well and looked around solemnly. In general, practitioners would not get drunk after drinking, but they had not used their energy to neutralize the alcohol earlier. Now that something was happening, they could not remain intoxicated. Everyone stood on guard, wondering what happened. They saw a man kicking the door open. After the man kicked the door open, he appeared in front of everyone smugly. Everyone felt disgusted to see his smug look and was surprised by his ugly appearance. Philip frowned at this person. He was sure that he did not know this guy, but seeing his smug look, he should be the ugly Hogster that everyone was talking about. Carlos had mentioned earlier that Hogster's ugly appearance was so distinct that anyone could recognize him at a glance. He had a very short figure and a ridiculous proportion, like a dwarf with no legs! Philip recognized him at a gla
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you crying?” Hogster picked up the kid angrily. Hogster was never a patient man, so he was even more annoyed by the kid’s defiance. He wanted to teach the kid a lesson for messing with him. “Stop crying. I want to ask you something. If you answer me properly, I’ll leave you alone.” Hogster smacked the kid, leaving him in a daze. The kid had never encountered such a situation before and simply sobbed. “Have you heard anything about an ugly woman? She was supposed to be the bride of the Cohen family, but the marriage was canceled at the last minute.” Hogster glared at the sobbing child in exasperation but he had to ask his questions patiently. After all, the kid looked the easiest to bully among everyone around. The child stopped crying and nodded after hearing him. “Someone took the ugly woman away. They're staying in the small house over there!” He was afraid that Hogster would hit him again, so he blurted everything he knew. The kid always hun
If the Celestial Palace could help them groom some people or lend them some experts, they might stand a chance in the competition. Seeing that time was running out, Hogster could not wait to solve the problem. Things would become difficult if he failed to marry Vanna. Hogster searched for Vanna’s whereabouts with his men. He was very anxious and wanted to find Vanna immediately. “Didn’t you say that the woman is here? Why is there no sign of her?” Hogster smacked his subordinate’s head in anger. The subordinate who got hit was shocked by his sudden attack, but at the thought of Hogster’s temper, he had no choice but to put up with it. As a pampered young heir, it was normal for Hogster to have a bad temper. His subordinates could do nothing but wallow in silence. “As far as we know, she’s nearby, but no one knows her exact location. These people don’t have a permanent residence, so finding her is more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack,” his men said nervously. T
Vanna was relieved. “That’s great. I’m surprised that my father is so sensible about this. If he dares to send someone to deal with you, I’ll make sure he doesn’t have an easy time either!” Vanna said in a huff. Vanna was angry at the thought of her father’s stubborn streak. “By the way, Hogster may cause trouble for you. I can see that your boss is very powerful. At worst, you can ask your boss to help you out. Not just anyone can take care of this.” Carlos knew how strong Ronan was, but he would be facing a guild. He did not think Ronan could win the fight. Fighting the guild would be the worst option. He hoped that Ronan could think about it carefully without being too conceited. “I think your boss is powerful enough to handle it easily. It’ll be difficult for you to deal with it single-handedly. “Hogster and his guild are very vindictive. You’ll be in trouble if he finds out that you stole his prey. Although the Celestial Palace can help you in certain areas, you'll hav
“Here, let’s eat and drink to our hearts' content. Don’t bother with formalities. Just treat this as your own home!” Ronan enthusiastically poured wine for the guards, who were flattered by his gesture. They knew that Vanna had settled down with this man. He could be considered their boss too, so no one dared to accept the wine he poured personally. Ronan laughed at their reaction and knew that his plan had worked.…. While they marveled at the wine, the guild that had previously asked for Vanna’s hand in marriage received the news. This guild was strong enough to enter into a political marriage with the Celestial Palace, but it was no better than the Celestial Palace. They just wanted to use this opportunity to join forces with the Celestial Palace to become stronger. Unexpectedly, Vanna rejected the marriage and ran away without showing up at all. “Damn it, that woman will turn 20 soon. What will happen if she doesn’t restore her appearance in time? I don't want to marry a
Carlos was so fast that he was back before Ronan knew it. Ronan was nervous when he saw Carlos standing at the door again. “We need to wait for the guild leader to decide what to do. For now, I’m here to protect Vanna. I may need to stay here for the time being. I hope you don't mind.” Carlos was very polite and did not annoy anyone. Hearing that, Philip nodded and made arrangements for the guards to stay. With two vacant rooms left, they had to squeeze a bit. The other party did not make things difficult for them, which meant there was room for negotiation, so they could relax a little. Although Ronan was very nervous, Philip thought they had a chance. “Let’s have a good meal tonight.” Ronan looked at the people squeezed into two rooms, his mouth twitching. Celeste and Darius had taken on the task of cooking, and their food was to die for. “Sure!” Carlos agreed without hesitation, hoping that Ronan would serve more of that wine because he did not have his fill at the g
As Carlos drank the wine decisively, the guild leader looked at him expectantly. If not for his dignity, he would have tasted the wine already. Carlos took a sip of wine and closed his eyes to savor it in delight. “In my opinion, I don’t think you should take the wine. Just let me take care of it for you!” Carlos could not help teasing him. Carlos and the guild leader were more like brothers, so their interaction was not that formal. The guild leader smiled helplessly, picked up the glass, and drank the wine in one gulp. “This wine…” He was suddenly at a loss for how to describe the beauty of the wine. It felt as if this wine was only fit for heaven, too good for this world. The two took one sip after another until the guild leader wanted to keep the wine away. “Sir, don't be so stingy. There’s still a little bit of wine left. Let's just finish it!” Not just anyone could take this wine. Even a strong practitioner would feel close to bursting after drinking so much. “Get
