Swoosh!The car door slammed to a close, and it drove away in an instant!When Philip first laid eyes on the black car, he already knew that it was dangerous. However, he was five or six meters away from Wynn at the time!The car also blocked his view, so he had no idea what was happening there!âPhilip, save me!âWynn cried out with all her strength the second before she was pulled into the car!She knew that Philip was the only one who could save her!Philip was the person she trusted the most in the world right now, the man who could give her a sense of security unlike anyone else!Philipâs eyes gleamed. He never expected anyone to commit such a crime like this in the middle of broad daylight!He barely even had time to think. When he saw that car zooming away, he made a run straight at it, sprinting at it like an Olympic runner.However, Philip could not get far before a few motorcycles came crashing right into him!They were totally aiming to kill!They moved at at lea
Philip had not wanted to reveal his identity, but people kept interfering in his personal life lately, so he had no choice but to slowly expose his true self and what he was capable of.This sudden incident in particular opened his eyes to the fact that he was still not prepared at all for this!If Wynn was hurt because of him, Philip would never forgive himself!He was no superman. Right here and now, he could feel that chill crawling through his entire body!That feeling set him off to no end!Philip knew that he was feeling fear. He was terrified!If the assailants got their grubby hands on Wynn in the car, no matter how strong Philip was or how rich his family was, what else could he do to stop them?Philip was furious. He could not forgive himself, and he definitely could not forgive the mastermind behind this!With a loud vroom, several bikes swerved into Philipâs way!Philipâs bike stopped in the middle of the road as he faced off against five men in black uniforms. The
Philip harrumphed coldly and did not hold back. He stuck out his hand and instantly caught the riderâs punch!Next, he lifted his foot and stomped on the manâs chest!Bam!Philipâs foot caught the man squarely in his chest, sending him flying five meters away and crashing into a stack of abandoned cars!Crash!The stack of cars collapsed as a result of the impact, and the vehicles fell onto the manâs motionless body! There was no knowing if he even survived that!The other four assassins were instantly alert. They had to be after Philip finished off that rider so promptly!Philip clenched his hands into fists, his eyes gleaming coldly.âTell me who the mastermind is!ââHaha, youâre pretty good, huh? But we have our own rules. If you want to know, youâll have to ask us yourself.âThe man with the shades did not seem too bothered about his companionâs chances of survival. His eyes were fixed on Philip, his gaze filled with a thirst for battle!âI already gave you guys one chan
âYouâll fulfill our wishes? Haha, you better get a good look around you. Weâre the ones who will take your life!âThe two men drew guns from their belts and looked at Philip sardonically.If their client had not demanded they take him back alive, Philip would be dead by now!Philip looked at them coldly and then turned his gaze toward the man with the shades.âDonât waste your breath on him. Break his limbs and send him to the rendezvous spot. Just get the money and scram, we canât be late for our next appointment!ââAlright, allow me!âThe two assassins exchanged a look and aimed their guns at Philipâs hands and feet!However, the second they were about to pull the trigger, they were stunned to see that Philip had vanished from the spot!The very next moment, they felt a wave of killing intent wash over them from behind. It was several times more intense than their own!They were all survivors from the battlefield who had seen more than their fair share of life and death!Ev
âS-SheâŠâBang bang!There were two consecutive gunshots!Philip quickly swung the man in front of him like a shield, and the two bullets sunk into the assassinâs back!His female colleague had made her move. Since her first attempt did not work, she did not linger, leaving in the blink of an eye.Philip frowned deeply, looking at the man in shades. The latter was lying on the ground with blood bubbling out of his mouth, so Philip knew that he was not getting any answers there.He quickly called Rick and soon found his answer.Curse that Marcus Quaid!Curse the entire Quaid family!Had the previous incident not taught them anything?!How dare they try something like this!âŠAt a presidential suite at United International Hotel.âHehe, give it up, Wynn. I promise Iâll treat you well.âMarcus was holding a piece of Wynnâs dress that he had torn off her body. He brought it to his nostrils and took a deep whiff before spreading his lips into a creepy grin.Wynn was all curled
He read the specter of death in Philipâs icy eyes. It was extremely vivid, as though Philip could kill him with a snap of his fingers!Why did he disobey Uncle Len? Why did he insist on opposing Philip?Marcus was filled with regret right now. He would gladly beg Philip for mercy on his knees.However, it was all futile now. He was still the second son of the Quaid family, the heir to their fortune. No, he had the right to be proud!He did not believe that Philip would actually kill him!âNo way! You wouldnât dare to kill me! Iâm the second son of the Quaid family, I represent the Quaids!âMarcus roared, trying to catch the attention of the guards outside by yelling.However, it was all for naught. Rick had disposed of all the guards outside.âIf you touch me, youâre making an enemy of the Quaid family. If anything happens to me, the entire family will come after your life! Trust me, weâre more than capable of that! No matter how strong you are, can you protect your family? Y
Philip carried Wynn out of the hotel.At the door, Rick gave them a glance before he left as well.Soon, Theo reached the scene, but what he saw immediately gave him a headache.That was the second young master of the Quaid family from Capital City!This was going to be a big deal!A storm was coming right for Riverdale soon.âWhat should we do, Theo? This is Master Marcus Quaid from Capital City.âTiger stood next to Theo, his large body looking awkward as he scratched the back of his head helplessly.Theo frowned slightly, his eyes focused on Marcus, who lay unconscious in the room. He sighed in exasperation.âSend him away. Things will get messy soon, so tell our men to prepare.âTheo said, his expression determined.He was not going to betray Philip. Way back then, he had acknowledged Philip as his leader.Even if a bloody tragedy ensued, he was going to have Philipâs back!After that battle in the villa, Theoâs determination had only strengthened further.Meanwhile,
There was instant silence on the other end, followed by a wave of pressure like an earthquake!This was no trivial matter. It threatened the future of the Quaid family legacy!Furthermore, Marcus was the familyâs brightest hope for the next generation.âFind out who did it, and kill them!âThe voice on the other end roared with the aura of a king, followed by, âAnd send Marcus back here at once!ââYes, sir!âLen responded and ended the call, wiping the cold sweat from his brow.Since the master had given him an order, he just had to carry it out.Capital City was a busy international metropolitan where cash and alcohol flowed freely.Right now, a few rays of moonlight were shining through the windows into a dark room in a villa. Inside, a young man in a wheelchair was looking out of the window expressionlessly. His gaze was dark, but no one could read what he was thinking.Just then, his phone rang. The handsome young man glanced at the caller ID and frowned slightly. After
Philip waved his hand indifferently. âItâs okay if you don't want to talk about it. Everyone is entitled to their own secrets.â Celeste glared at Darius unhappily. What a goof. Since Vanna did not bring it up, it proved that she did not want to talk about it. âYes, thatâs what I meant too, but I spoke too soon!â Darius apologized awkwardly, feeling a little nervous. Vanna could not help laughing at his reaction. âI have nothing to hide. I'm from the Celestial Palace. Our people are indeed very different from you. Weâre the only ones with this curse. âI ran away from the Celestial Palace. My people wanted to marry me off to a loser, so I ran away in a panic, but Iâve reached the age when I have to break the curse. If I don't do it before I turn 20, I'll have to keep that ugly face for the rest of my life.â Everyone understood the whole story with that explanation, but no one had seen it coming. âBut that guy from the Cohen family isnât any better. I heard that heâs also a
This matter would become very serious if Vanna married someone else. âNot exactly. She has been taken away by someone else.â Lazlo was relieved when he heard that these people were looking for Vanna. She was nothing but trouble. He wanted nothing to do with her anymore. âWho took her?â the man asked fiercely. He could not shirk responsibility if Vanna married someone else. He would not be the only one in trouble. All his subordinates might die too. âItâs a guy named Ronan. That disgusting man simply stole her away! But we donât know much about his identity.â Lazlo told them everything he knew. After hearing Lazlo out, the man scowled and turned to his subordinates. âWe need to resolve this quickly. If it goes beyond our control, just take action. We canât afford any accidents.â Lazlo could not understand the man's cryptic message, but it was not meant for him anyway. âWhatâs going on?â Lazlo was full of doubts as he watched them leave, wondering who they were. They plan
âWhy are you so embarrassed? Thatâs good news. Itâs not easy to find two people who appreciate each other, and I think she has quite a noble status. Itâs a good choice for you to be with her.â Philip smiled calmly, a little surprised at Ronanâs decision. Celeste and Darius were also surprised, but they gave Ronan their blessing. âNot bad. Iâm surprised that you realized it. Although Vanna looks scary, she was simply cursed. Once you marry her, sheâll regain her true appearance. Itâs a good thing!â Celeste smiled. As a woman, she could understand the despair of being ugly for the rest of her life. Vanna was clearly happy with Ronan, and they looked very good together. Suddenly, Philip heard a commotion outside the door. He walked out and saw a crowd marching across the street. They felt similar to Vanna. They walked to Lazloâs home without stopping. Philip watched the excitement and went back home after making sure that it had nothing to do with him. Ronan and Vanna had de
Nothing would be more reliable than their prediction. Celeste glanced at Darius. They nodded and dragged Philip to a deserted corner. âThat woman exudes a very gentle aura. If she puts on a veil, she can surely rule over the world.â When they saw Vanna, they felt that she had a strong healing power as if she could heal with a glance. âI believe she has the ability to cure diseases and save lives. That's how she easily saved the young heir of the Cohen family. But I can't figure out why such a capable person would choose to marry a scumbag. Itâs very puzzling.â Celeste sighed helplessly. Although she never thought highly of her prediction ability and her self-protection ability was even worse, she would never choose such a man either. Philip shrugged. The woman had to be hiding something. Since she kept quiet, Philip did not ask either. Ronan was the one who rescued her, so he would let Ronan solve it. âI noticed something about her. If Iâm not mistaken, she has a holy aur
Although Lazlo spent a fortune, the result was satisfactory. âHow ignorant.â The bride trembled with anger. She wanted to say something, but Lazlo clearly tricked her. Ronan was angry at this scene, shocked to see such shameless people. âYoung lady, stop wasting your time on them and come with me instead. Youâll only suffer more insults if you stay. They're very powerful. Youâre no match for them!â Ronan grabbed the bride and walked away with her. She would only be humiliated if she remained. It was better to leave. Seeing this, Lazlo wanted to stop them and show them how powerful he was, but he quickly changed his mind. He still had a mess to deal with, so he would put Ronan aside for the time being. He had to deal with the major families. At least, he could not destroy his reputation. Lazlo signaled his men before turning to his business partners. Everyone smiled at each other insincerely. It was just fake networking. The bride followed Ronan outside before she realiz
âI think sheâs right. You have no right to despise her for being ugly! If you have the ability to cure the groomâs disease, you can marry into a wealthy family too! Youâre a loser for putting her down because of her looks!â Ronanâs sudden interruption surprised the bride. She never thought that someone would speak up for her in this situation. âEnough with this fiasco. Hurry up and end it!â Lazlo frowned and glanced at the people next to him. He had replaced the useless guards earlier. These people were carefully selected experts. The experts quickly flagged Ronan as a troublemaker and wanted to throw him out. âLetâs call off the wedding for the time being. We didnât think it through carefully. Weâll decide after careful consideration. Please excuse us,â Lazlo said calmly but he was fuming inside. He knew that this was a disgrace to the family. He had never thought a woman could play him out like that. Lazlo glared daggers at Celeste in front of him. 'I wouldnât have be
By right, everyone should respect Lazlo, but these people simply wanted to humiliate him instead. Lazlo always took advantage of them during their business dealings, so they wanted to teach him a lesson. For the sake of his dignity, Lazlo could not lose his temper either. âHehe, the bride is coming!â Lazlo gritted his teeth and asked someone to bring the bride out. Everyone looked around eagerly, waiting to see what this legendary woman looked like. The bride wore a veil on her face, and no one could see her appearance clearly. âThe bride is bound by the rules of her race, so sheâs not allowed to show her face in public, but you can tell from her figure that she's indeed very beautiful. My daughter-in-law is not to be underestimated!â Lazlo laughed. It was the only option he could think of. Some nosy people created a gust of wind that blew the veil away. Very soon, the womanâs ugly face was revealed to the public. Everyone was dumbfounded by the scene. They gulped nervous
âBut sheâd be very attractive if she covered her face.â Her figure was very good, but her face was scary. Anyone who saw that face would probably be haunted by nightmares. Philip was curious. The woman could cure the groomâs disease, which proved that she had that ability. In that case, why was she in such a hurry to marry? With an ability like that, she could easily survive on her own. âShe caught me red-handed peeking at her. Although it was embarrassing, she was very gentle and didnât say anything. Itâs a pity that I canât deal with that appearance!â Ronan said awkwardly, ashamed at the thought of being caught red-handed. Philip rolled his eyes helplessly. He was no longer in the mood to watch the fun. Staying there was just a waste of time. He would rather leave. He was not interested in the free meal. Suddenly, they smelled a strange fragrance. Ronan frowned and rubbed his nose. The smell made him feel uncomfortable. âSomeone is poisoning us,â Philip said calmly.
Lazlo knew that he would be doomed if he fell into Philip's hands. He decided to run away in a panic, but it did not mean he was going to give up. Celeste was his only hope to regain his dignity, and he would never let her off. âKeep a close eye on the situation. Itâs best if you can knock Celeste out and bring her to me,â Lazlo ordered his men before he left. Since his men could not do it openly, they had to resort to some underhanded tricks. Lazlo had more than a team of guards under his command. Although the captain of the guards was no match for Philip, it did not mean that Lazlo was out of options. He had to solve this problem at all costs. Philip had no choice but to take Celeste away. Who knew they would encounter such a mess? âI never knew I was so charming that the guy wants me to marry his son,â Celeste said ironically. To think that something like this would happen to her. The people of her race were so valuable that they could not marry just anyone, let alone
