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
At this time, Cameron and his men returned in the middle of the night. He saw the Claude family members crying as soon as he returned. They were bruised and battered from a beating, looking utterly miserable. Cameron was furious that someone would dare to bully his family members while he was away. “What's going on? Why are you in this state? Did someone cause trouble while I was away?” Cameron was angry and in disbelief, feeling that something was strange. Everyone nodded nervously. “Ronan is here!” The old woman who suffered the worst beating was very upset and glared viciously in Ronan’s direction. “Cameron, although you left me in charge while you were away, I can’t do it anymore. Ronan kept messing with us and even brought some people to beat us up!” The old woman made up stories and described Ronan as an unforgivable evildoer. Cameron scowled, but he could not believe it. “What did you say? Ronan actually hit someone?” He was unwilling to believe it. Although Ronan
Philip took out some fine wine, which was worthless to him but priceless to Ronan. Ronan laughed at Philip’s nonchalance and patted his shoulder. The two of them sat down and started drinking. Rabbit joined in the fun and swallowed the wine in big gulps. Although the alcohol content was a bit high for Rabbit, he enjoyed it happily. They quickly felt slightly tipsy. Although they were practitioners, they did not use any techniques to sober up. It was okay to be a little intoxicated as long as it did not affect them too much. It was rare to find a friend who they could click so well with, so it was a blessing to get drunk together. As they drank happily, the aroma of the wine wafted out. Everyone smelled the fragrance and looked for the source of the scent. They quickly found Ronan's residence and scowled. That smell proved that he had to be drinking good wine in there. “How is he worthy of such fine wine?” “Just a whiff of that wine clears my head, so it has to be good s
Although victory was not confirmed, they had to take part. Since the other party said so, they had no choice but to win. At the thought of the other major families, Cameron scowled as he felt the pressure. “I heard that you have a non-human descendant in your family,” the other party said with a smile, but it was uncertain if his intention was to mock Cameron or to find out some information. The Claude family scowled as they instantly figured out who the other party was talking about—Ronan. This person had disgraced the whole family. “We do have someone like that in our family. Back then, one of our youths was restless and impulsive…” Cameron wanted to explain, but the other party interrupted him. The mysterious man smiled with satisfaction at Cameron’s admittance. “If that’s the case, it’s great. Let this person take part in the competition. I’m interested in his strength and want to try it out in person. “Other than your victory, this person has to take part in the comp
By treating Ronan badly, the people would receive some rewards from the higher-ups. After a while, everyone got used to it. Even the wine sold to Ronan was cheap wine that no one wanted. “There’ll be a place for me in the world somehow!” Philip shook his head. These people’s attitude was strange, indeed, but he did not think that they could not find a roof over their heads. Since the Claude family was so arrogant, they could take over their place. Thinking of this, Philip took them back to the Claude family's manor and knocked on the door with a smile on his face. The guards were horrified to see Philip and Ronan again. They did not forget how badly they were beaten earlier. Thus, no one dared to stop them from marching in for fear that they would be beaten again. They could not afford the consequences. The Claude family quickly learned about their appearance. They scowled, their faces turning ashen. “Why are you here again?” “We already told you that they won't be ba
Even though everyone was angry, they could not help but taunt the culprit. The cowardly man coughed at their sarcastic remarks. “Let’s wait until the family head returns tomorrow. I don’t believe Ronan will be so arrogant when he’s around!” After saying that, he ran to his room and hid, unwilling to say more to the others. Ronan did not know what happened back then. As long as he refused to admit it, he believed that Ronan could not do anything to him. It was a conspiracy against Ronan’s mother back then. If the family head refused to protect him, he would tell Ronan everything to save himself.… After Ronan left the luxurious manor, his mood instantly became better. He never thought that he would do something so spectacular one day. “Thank you.” Ronan lowered his head to Philip humbly. He was grateful to Philip and wanted to pledge brotherhood with Philip. Philip waved his hands awkwardly, surprised by Ronan’s courtesy. He did not do much; he just gave him some confiden
Other members of the family had been so pampered that no one could fight Ronan either. All of them were sent flying, and some of them hung on the tree miserably. Philip laughed at the scene. These people had always treated Ronan as a pushover when, in fact, Ronan was a force to be reckoned with. None of them was a match for him. “I know that other than my uncle, some other people were also involved in harming my mother, but I don’t know who they are. You'd better hand them over or no one will leave this place alive today.” Ronan’s killing intent was very intense. He was clearly very angry. Everyone panicked and looked around carefully, at a loss for what to do. They saw the fear in each other’s eyes. The family head had taken Ronan's uncle and some other people to a city. It was difficult for them to find a decision-maker when the elders were not around. The instigator from back then was not around either. Who else could they look for? “Calm down. This matter has nothin
Ronan’s uncle did not hesitate to force his elder sister to her death just to kick the most promising descendant out of the family. This grudge was unforgivable. Everyone laughed at Ronan’s audacity to seek revenge. Only a fool would dare to do that. “Do you know how powerful your uncle is?” “Although he’s not here now, he’s not someone you can afford to mess with.” Everyone mocked Ronan without taking him seriously at all. “Did you hear what I said?” Ronan scowled. These people kept disregarding his request and paid no attention to him. He felt very upset. “Since you won’t hand him over, I’ll beat you until he appears. If he’s not here, other people can take his place.” He knew that his uncle was quite powerful and would often go to other towns or cities for networking. While it was true that he might not be around, it did not mean that Ronan would not make trouble for the others. Everyone looked at Ronan arrogantly, waiting to see what Ronan would do. Suddenly, Rona
The guards were taken aback by Ronan’s sudden arrogance and looked at him doubtfully. “What’s up with you? Do you want to take action?” “After all these years, have you finally decided to avenge your mother?” They kept taunting Ronan without realizing how angry he was. “I repeat—I want to see the people who forced my mother to her death back then!” Ronan stomped his foot in anger and glared at everyone around him. The guards were startled because they finally felt Ronan’s strength with that stomp. They did not expect him to be that strong. Maybe because of Ronan’s fury, they finally realized his might and quickly scrambled into the manor. Philip saw the name on a plaque—Claude Manor. The place looked pretty imposing, and Philip felt a stab of longing as he looked around. Philip stood without a word. His main objective was to help Ronan. The guards ran away in a panic. They knew that Ronan was going to make things difficult for them. “It’s bad. Ronan is at the door
The man could not resist because he was alone. Next time, he would bring more people to deal with Philip. Philip saw his resentment but took no notice of it. No matter how much he resented Philip, he would not survive tonight. Such an arrogant and domineering person would not live to see the sun tomorrow. “Y-You hit him?” Ronan looked at Philip in disbelief, shocked that Philip would stand up for him. Although he usually appeared simple and kind, he was not a fool. He knew that Philip hit that guy to protect him. “If you meet such people again, just fight them and don’t worry about unnecessary things. You don't want to fight because you’re afraid of losing the right to enter the town, but you’re my brother from now on. “I can take care of your wine supply, and we can find other ways to make money. You don’t have to waste your efforts and live under someone else's roof anymore,” Philip said arrogantly, not taking these people seriously at all. Hearing that, Ronan nodded with
