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
Philip did not want to pay attention to him. He looked at the ceiling with his arms behind his head. Then, he started humming and said, “Sometimes, you have to pay the price for your wrong choices. Norm, enjoy your last moments.”At the same time inside a luxurious office in a tower, a man with a solemn expression was resting his eyes.He was the leader of the Hull Clan, Solomon Hull!His phone’s ringtone broke the silence of the office. Solomon frowned slightly. He opened his eyes and rubbed his temples. He answered the call after glancing at the caller ID.“Hello, Mr. Hull. How’s the progress?”A cold laugh sounded from the other end of the phone.“Mr. Parker, don’t you worry about how I do things.”Solomon’s face was white from the reflection of the computer screen. The corner of his lips tugged upward confidently.“Alright, if that’s the case, I’m going to express my gratitude to you. After it’s done, I’m buying you dinner.”Juan smiled pleasantly. He could finally avenge
At this moment, several black Audi A6Ls with special car plates were speeding toward the hotel!“B*stards! They’re just causing trouble! Do the people in the other district not want their jobs anymore? How dare they do this? Investigate this and get to the bottom of this! I don’t care who you find, arrest all of them! I don’t believe that anyone would dare to do this under my watch!”A middle-aged man in uniform sat on the backseat. He had a symbol of peace on his shoulder and a star with four corners. His face was filled with anger.He was the director of Riverdale’s Department of Law Enforcement. He was the person in charge!They alerted so many people from arresting Philip last time!Even Reed Williams was alerted!The people in the other district were just doing things without thinking!How dare they arrest such an important person?Were they not digging their own graves by doing this?“Mr. Wade, what happened? Why are you so mad?”The staff on the passenger seat turned a
Mark was leading the way while Deaton followed behind him closely. The sound of everyone’s footsteps was very loud. It sounded extremely messy and hurried in this long corridor.Mark still did not know what exactly was going on. He only heard from his subordinate that Norm had arrested someone. After that, Mr. Hull’s men came over and said they wanted to take him away.Mr. Hull.If Mr. Hull was involved in this, it would be a little troublesome.What was going on? Who did Norm arrest? Why was the Hull Clan involved? Even Deaton had to come all the way here for this.Mark was feeling uneasy. He pushed open the door of the room and said. “Mr. Wade, we’re here.”At that moment, the strong smell of blood wafted out from the room. Everyone frowned as they were irritated by the smell. Someone even ran aside to throw up.Mark suppressed the acid reflux in his stomach and looked into the room. When he saw what was going on inside, he shuddered as cold sweat started pouring from his body
They could also see some toddlers, which proved that the predecessors were living quite a good life. “We thought you had ascended to another place. Is this the place you ended up? It doesn’t look like the paradise described in the books!” Selma blinked innocently, wondering why this place looked like this. This place was not rich in energy, and there was nothing special about it, so it was not attractive at all. “We didn’t ascend but have been trapped in this place over the years with no way to leave.” Fitz did not want to deceive them and simply told them the facts. Now that they had entered, the newcomers had no way of leaving either. “Didn’t you notice? The passage that led you in has been sealed. There’s no way to leave now.” Selma turned her head curiously and looked at the exit. Philip followed suit and found that it was indeed the case. The exit was blocked by a huge stone. No one knew when the stone appeared. It felt like it appeared out of thin air. Philip's ex
When Philip’s eyes adjusted to the light, he saw a gurgling stream in front of him. There was a small village beside the stream and many more villages along the stream. Philip counted four in total. The villagers who lived along the stream observed Philip as he looked at them. “Outsiders?” A man standing in the front stared at Philip in surprised disbelief. Philip noticed that he had a snake tail. Hearing the man's words, everyone ran out. Without exception, they all had a snake tail. It was clear that they belonged to the same race as Selma. Selma covered her mouth in shock at this scene. It was true. Their predecessors were staying there. The man mellowed down after seeing Selma. He felt a familiar vibe on her. It seemed that they shared the same bloodline. Philip nudged Selma, who quickly understood his meaning and showed her true form. Cavin followed her cue. Seeing this scene, the man laughed and applauded. The spider people arrived at this time. They were surpri
Philip finally realized that Ariadna was not wealthy enough to do business with him. “This emerald pendant is very valuable! Don’t look down on it just because you’re strong!” Ariadna grumbled under her breath but had no choice but to accept it. After all, Philip had the final say about its value. Maybe her treasure was worthless to Philip because he was too strong for it. After taking the emerald pendant, Philip told Ariadna what he knew per their agreement, which was the secret about people living in the ancestral land. As expected, Ariadna was shocked by the news too. “Are you serious? This is too far-fetched. Are you saying that our predecessors have been trapped here and haven't left for another place?” Her outburst gave Philip a different idea. When he spoke to Selma earlier, he subconsciously believed that these so-called predecessors had ascended. It was strange that they reached a very odd place of ascension. After hearing Ariadna’s remark, however, it seemed mor
No one knew if their predecessors would treat them as their own. Although they had the same bloodline, they had not seen each other for such a long time. Besides, they sneaked into the ancestral land without permission. Maybe they would be killed before they stepped inside. Philip’s information was very useful, indeed. Selma quickly returned to her family members in a panic and discussed with them. With only a few of them, the discussion was very brief before they reached a decision. Cavin grimaced at this unexpected development, and he was more in awe of Philip. He was shocked by Philip’s strength. If Philip could sense that, his observation skill was nothing in front of Philip! Cavin felt helpless about it. It felt a little embarrassing to have shown off his skill in front of Philip now. “Selma, what should we do now? We have to consider the stalkers behind us. They won’t give up that easily. We may be in trouble if we don't find a way to get rid of them.” Cavin glanced at th
“Are you referring to humans like us or unique races like them?” Philip was surprised that Rabbit sensed something that he did not. Philip stroked Rabbit's round head with satisfaction as a compliment to him. Rabbit wiggled his short tail in pride. He really felt something was wrong, so he hoped Philip would pay attention to it. “I don’t think they're one of us. They're more likely one of the unique races.” Rabbit did not kick up a fuss after he noticed something was wrong but simply spoke to Philip on the side. He knew that these people might go crazy if they found out people were living in their ancestral land. Philip looked at Rabbit solemnly. After much deliberation, he finally decided to tell Selma about the discovery. Meanwhile, Selma was still thinking about how to get rid of Ariadna when Philip pulled her aside all of a sudden. Selma looked at Philip shyly with a hint of panic in her eyes. “I need to tell you something. Be mentally prepared for it,” Philip said se
If Philip had not been on guard, he might have been misled by the mist into thinking that it was nothing. Others rushed over, eager to find out what happened. Ronan looked around excitedly. He wanted to judge the situation by the traces left behind, but surprisingly, there was no sign of a battle. He was confused and wondered what had happened. He had been expecting a fierce battle. After all, it was very difficult to subdue such things. However, he saw a scene of peace in front of him. “Philip, what happened? Something feels wrong. There should be something toxic here, but I don’t see anything. Are you too strong or are those things too cunning?” Ronan was very curious and felt that things were more than met the eye. “You’ll find out soon. Anyway, did those guys follow you?” Philip looked back at the restless people mockingly. They were not that strong, but they would never miss any chance to take advantage of others. “Some of them did follow us, but they're not very quick
“On top of that, I can also help to expand your awareness and enhance your mental strength.” Philip persuaded the mist with everything he had, hoping that it would leave with him. He was strong enough to interact with the mist in an equal setting. If the mist refused to give in, Philip would consider beating it into submission. After much deliberation, the mist, who was more like an innocent child, agreed to Philip’s suggestion. Philip felt the excitement expressed by the mist. “I’ll take you into my space now. Don’t resist. You’ll feel that mysterious power in a minute.” He took the mist into his space, and the large expanse of blue mist vanished in an instant. The fierce killing intent in the passage disappeared with it. Philip looked at the disappearing mist in excitement. He found something very good this time. The mist was obviously still in its growing stage, an ignorant little thing at present. The mist would grow under his help into a strong existence. He was glad to
Arachne and the others saw the mist and were frightened. They quickly hid beside the snake people without lurking in the dark anymore. “What’s up with the weird mist?” The spider people brought more people than Selma’s team this time. Everyone was squeezed in this place, making it a little crowded. The snake people looked at them in disdain, shocked that they had the nerve to approach them. “Don’t you see how crowded this place is? Stop squeezing your way inside!” Cavin said with disdain. Although Cavin looked like a timid child who anyone could bully, he was quite manly in a confrontation. Rabbit huffed at them in anger but did not know what to say. Arachne rolled her eyes. “This is obviously the only safe place around. Where should we go if not here? You can leave if you think it’s crowded,” Arachne sneered with disdain. They knew that Philip had entered the danger zone, so they wanted to stay close to keep abreast of his updated situation. However, they overlooked
Whether the fine wine or the delicious beast meat provided by Philip, their strength improved greatly after the meal, which was simply too good to be true. Everyone guessed whether eating such meat on a long-term basis would make their bodies stronger. “Our business will definitely soar if we have such meat on the menu!” Selma marveled solemnly. She knew how attractive the meat was to humans or other races. It was worth looking forward to a meal that could improve one’s strength. Moreover, they could feel their bodies slowly absorbing the meat’s energy without going to waste, and they did not have to go through the effort of absorbing it, which was simply amazing. When Philip and his people left after having their fill, Arachne followed them with her people. Ariadna was so jealous that her thoughts became distorted. If she had not been so stupid back then, she might have gotten the chance to sit with Philip and enjoy the meal too. She lost the chance because she was stupid and
