“S-She…”Bang 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 assassin’s 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!…At a presidential suite at United International Hotel.“Hehe, give it up, Wynn. I promise I’ll treat you well.”Marcus was holding a piece of Wynn’s 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 Philip’s 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!“No way! You wouldn’t dare to kill me! I’m the second son of the Quaid family, I represent the Quaids!”Marcus 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.“If you touch me, you’re making an enemy of the Quaid family. If anything happens to me, the entire family will come after your life! Trust me, we’re 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.“What should we do, Theo? This is Master Marcus Quaid from Capital City.”Tiger 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.“Send him away. Things will get messy soon, so tell our men to prepare.”Theo 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 Philip’s back!After that battle in the villa, Theo’s 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 family’s brightest hope for the next generation.“Find out who did it, and kill them!”The voice on the other end roared with the aura of a king, followed by, “And send Marcus back here at once!”“Yes, sir!”Len 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
"His last name is Clarke, but he probably isn't from that group."The butler replied, but he did not say any more than that."Probably? Look into it again!"The middle-aged man lost interest in the topic and said calmly, "Keep a close eye on what the Quaids do now. If they try anything unusual, tell me immediately. As for that Philip Clarke fellow, try to keep him alive if possible.""Yes, sir."The butler left the room, leaving the middle-aged man alone in the large study. He continued to admire the painting on the wall, marveling at its beauty.However, just then, the door to the study flew open, and an old man leaning on a cane appeared at the door.The middle-aged man hurriedly ran to the old man and said respectfully, "Why did you come down here, Father? It's so late!"The old man sat on the couch and coughed softly before saying, "I hear that the Quaid's son was castrated?"This was Old Master Joo, the foundation of the Joo family and the person with the most say!He wa
In truth, she wanted to ask Philip how he was going to settle the problem with Marcus Quaid.After she thought it over, though, she decided to let it be. Her husband was pretty mysterious.He probably would not let her interfere.Wynn got up and cleaned herself up, changing into clean clothes. Only then did Philip run back into the room, all smiles.“Do you feel better now, Wynn honey?”Philip wiped his sweat with a towel and asked her with a chuckle.Today, Wynn was dressed like a girl next door, wearing some exercise clothes and her hair tied in a ponytail.“I’m fine.”Wynn said, doing a few simple stretches. She showed off her figure perfectly, giving Philip quite the knock-out punch this early in the morning!“Are you going out for a walk?”Philip guessed based on how Wynn was behaving. Was she still tormented by what happened yesterday?“Yeah. I’m going out jogging for a bit.”Wynn replied, leaving the villa without hesitation in a jog.“Hey, wait for me. I’ll come wit
He then turned around and looked at the distant lake surface, his expression turning dark. He curled the corners of his lips into a cold smile and then kicked off against the ground, dashing toward the lake.Everyone thought he was useless trash.What they did not know was that he was rich, powerful, and also an inhuman fighter!Although he was not as good as Rick, he was much better than most normal people and even some trained assassins!After all, Reed’s demonic training was no child’s play. It was practically a suicidal regiment!On the surface of the lake, the female assassin codenamed Rosa was also observing Philip at the same time. When she saw that he was rapidly running toward her, she was quite startled!Was he even still human?Not only did he run at breakneck speeds, he even ran in a Z-shaped trajectory, making him impossible to aim at!Bang bang!Rosa pulled the trigger several times in a row, but the bullets just missed him!Or rather, he deftly managed to dodge
Rosa was furious. She kicked the deck, jumped up with the momentum, and performed a somersault!Philip immediately pushed the irritable woman away and touched his neck. He was quite fortunate. He almost got his throat cut!“I say, do you need to take this so seriously?” Philip shrugged as he asked.Rosa squatted on the ground, her eyes glinting with cold light like a sword ready to launch!“Again?”In an instant, Rosa dashed out and her double sabers were aimed directly at Philip’s chest!Philip was annoyed this time. A chill spread over his eyes. Increasing his intensity, he flipped sideways and raised his knee for a block!When Rosa finally noticed that her opponent leaked a trace of frightening intent, it was already too late!She was knocked away by Philip’s knee, crashed on the cabin, and fell heavily on the deck. It took a long while before she could even move!Philip crossed his arms over his chest and looked on coldly as Rosa struggled on the ground. He had not held ba
At this time, Philip noticed something on the ground. He walked over and picked it up curiously. “Philip, that thing fell from the old octopus just now. I wonder what it is. Maybe it’s a rare treasure!” Rabbit popped out and looked at Philip excitedly, attracted by this shiny object. “Isn’t that the core of a monster beast? Wow, this octopus was so powerful that it could even produce a core! It’s a pity that it bumped into someone like me, who eats octopuses without leaving anything behind.” Philip collected the core that the octopus had developed for tens of thousands of years and grinned at the carcass that lay in his space. Only monster beasts that had practiced for tens of thousands of years could produce such a precious thing, so Philip hardly saw any. Philip had not killed any beasts with tens of thousands of years of practice, so he had only heard of it. “I’m surprised that this guy gave me such a precious thing. In that case, we must have a good meal to show our a
“Philip, I sense a weird presence. I think something is after us. Do you think it’s the octopus’ father?” Rabbit scowled, feeling they should leave at once. “Didn’t you explore the cave thoroughly just now? Did you find other monsters inside?” Philip frowned and explored with his senses. Although he was very strong and sensitive, he could not sense approaching danger like a monster beast. A normal monster beast could sense up to tens of thousands of yards but Philip could only sense thousands of yards at most. That was the ultimate difference between humans and monster beasts. Rabbit was worried. It did not consider this problem. “I was so busy looking for the way out just now that I overlooked this problem. Who would know that the octopus had a father?” Before Philip could retort, they felt the world spinning around them, and a huge tentacle hit Philip. Philip pressed Rabbit down and turned around to dodge as quickly as he could. He knew that a powerful being was here. “
“Haha, but I never planned to let you go either. In that case, don’t blame me for doing this!” The octopus' huge tentacle twitched as if it were going to teach Philip a lesson. Philip sneered at this scene. This little octopus was quite interesting. Although the octopus claimed that it would not harm Philip, Philip could read its thoughts from its eyes and actions. This octopus was more than met the eye. He would have died if he listened to its nonsense. “Hehe, I'm not hungry now. I’ll keep you and the rabbit as my food rations. Let’s see if you can escape my clutches!” The octopus swung its tentacles and sent all the surrounding gravel flying, creating chaos. “Philip, that thing is so full of itself. Let’s stop wasting time with it and leave at once. I've found the exit. It’s right in front of us!” Rabbit hopped up to Philip and pointed out the route it found. Philip let Rabbit go earlier so it could find the way out. Although Philip wanted to eat the octopus, he knew that
“I wanted to let you go, but I've changed my mind. Leave this rabbit behind as my supper and you can leave safely. Otherwise, you can never escape. Since you're here for the ruins, you won't leave empty-handed. Let’s make a deal.” The octopus seemed very confident that Philip would give Rabbit up. Rabbit glared daggers at the octopus, shocked that it wanted to eat it for no reason. “I know many secrets about this place. If you strike the deal with me, I can tell you some secrets so that you can go through the King’s Ruins smoothly.” The octopus seemed to read Philip’s thoughts and tried to convince him to agree to the deal.Seeing that, Philip pretended to be tempted. “Really? That's great. It’s a good deal to get so many secrets with just one rabbit.” Philip placed Rabbit on his palm and shook it in front of the octopus. “But you have to tell me the secrets first or I’m afraid you won’t keep to your promise. I’m definitely no match for you. I won't gain anything if you go
The tentacle’s target was the bird in front of Philip. “It’s really strange to see a bird in this place.” Philip grabbed the bird and threw it to the tentacle, which caught the bird without noticing Philip’s presence. Philip followed along, curious to see what the tentacle belonged to. The tentacle looked like it belonged to a squid, which seemed quite appetizing. However, Philip did not think the tentacle was an easy opponent to deal with. The other party was clearly a force to be reckoned with, but it was not very sensitive to its surroundings. Philip had been here for quite long, but the tentacle had not discovered his presence. It was clearly a creature with a poor reaction. He was very curious to find out what creature this tentacle belonged to. He followed the direction where the tentacle disappeared but saw no end to the path. His hard work finally paid off, though. Through his relentless tracking, Philip finally found the body of the tentacle but was surprised by
“Are you sure you want to go in?” Rabbit jerked awake from its daze and crawled out of Philip's arms. “In that case, you should choose someone who isn't afraid to die,” Rabbit said tauntingly as if it was ready to watch the fun. Yule was startled by Rabbit’s sudden appearance and nasty remark. Although Philip had not formally introduced Rabbit, he knew that Rabbit was Philip’s pet, a powerful creature that most people could not afford to offend. Although rich people would tend to mess around with similar monster pets, a creature like Rabbit that had developed intelligence and could speak to humans were few and far between. “With all sorts of dangers below, you can give it a try if you’re not afraid to die. Of course, I’d advise against it. After all, you’re very weak,” Rabbit scorned Yule while telling him the truth. It was very mean, indeed. Philip shook his head helplessly while Rabbit intimidated others. He was more determined to cook Rabbit now. “Based on the informatio
“Are these things good enough for you? You haven’t seen anything yet.” Yule was embarrassing. If his people dared to do this, Philip would explode. He would never allow his people to act this way. “Yeah, the pills and weapons we found along the way are simply amazing. I can’t imagine what we’ll find in the real treasure vault. I’m sure even you’ll be won over.” They did not encounter any dangers or difficult creatures along the way as if they had passed the test. However, they did not find any trace of the King’s Ruins either, which puzzled Philip. “Is the so-called King’s Ruins referring to these useless things?” Philip frowned and glanced around. If this was the so-called King’s Ruins, he would be very disappointed. Rabbit popped out and waved its paw at Philip, clearly trying to say something. “Philip, you’re too much. Do you really think these things are worthless? Maybe you don’t find them valuable, but they're seen as priceless treasures to others. Most people can’t e
“Yule's father is seriously injured, and his strength has reduced significantly. He’ll die if he can’t find an expert to cure him. Do you think Yule can act so arrogantly if his father dies? There’s no way he can do that anymore.” Mason’s words gave everyone the hope to replace Yule. Yule had used his identity to gain a lot of benefits in Deadly Arena. Although no one said anything, they longed to do the same too. “If you can do this for me, I promise you the same treatment. You'll enjoy no less than what Yule has.” Mason was confident that since Sienna was on his side, it would soon be his time to soar to greater heights. It would then be impossible for these people to mess with him. He could easily deal with anyone from Deadly Arena who dared to oppose him. With Sienna’s strength, he could do whatever he wanted. “As long as you help me get what I want, I’ll give you whatever you want. That’s a promise,” Mason said smugly. Everyone was surprised and looked forward to i
“I’m surprised that these golems are so difficult to deal with. I thought we could crush them easily!” “If we had known earlier, we would've taken our time and let Philip’s people deal with them!” Everyone regretted it, but no one knew what to do now that the golems were in front of them. Mason gritted his teeth and led the fight. It was a matter of life and death, and no one could be excluded. These golems were difficult for Lyle to deal with, not to mention these losers. They suffered heavy casualties, and everyone was injured to some extent. Fortunately, they brought a lot of supplies with them. They had many pills to heal wounds and could save their lives for the time being. “One golem caused us such casualties. We’ll be in trouble if more golems turn up.” Someone glanced at Mason in a panic. The same man who spoke gulped and expressed his opinion, “I think we should work with Yule and the others. Maybe we can quickly reach our destination with them. More importantl
