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
Wynn stared at Philip in bewilderment. She had no idea what he was talking about. “Phil, what do you mean? What about your identity?” Wynn was a little confused. Looking at Philip’s steadfast manner, it did not seem to be a farce. Could it be that Philip wanted to tell her about his true identity? Philip rubbed Wynn’s head fondly and said with a gentle smile, “Wynnie, don’t worry. Just leave everything to me. Make preparations for the press conference that will be held in Beacon Group's name. After this, there'll be new funds and new investors coming to Beacon.” New investors? Who? Wynn was very puzzled. She stared at Philip with wide eyes and suddenly tilted her head with a smile. “Has your friend returned from overseas?” Philip was startled for a bit before he replied, “Something like that. Go on and make the preparations first. The press conference is scheduled for tomorrow night. All the major media and related entrepreneurs have been invited, including Blake Michae
Back to a villa somewhere. For Houston Michaels, the past few days were not pleasant at all. His freedom had been restricted by his father and all his credit cards were frozen. He stayed at home every day, staring at the ceiling in a daze. Marcus Quaid, the second young master of the Quaid family, suddenly returned to Capital City two days ago. This had caused Blake Michaels to be overwhelmed and all plans were canceled at the last minute. According to the news received from Capital City, it was the eldest son of the Quaid family, Lawrence Quaid, who would replace Marcus’ position in Riverdale to plan the overall situation. A guy in a wheelchair was qualified to talk business? What was the Quaid family up to? Blake was not familiar with Lawrence, but he knew some secrets about the Quaid family. The fact that Lawrence could take charge of Riverdale indicated that something must have happened to Marcus. To avoid any unnecessary trouble, he decided to put his son in confinem
Blake hurried to Cirrus Manor and met Giada. This woman, Giada Wallis, was born with a glamorous and noble temperament. When she stood there unmoving, she was exactly like an iceberg with a cold demeanor. She was holding a Persian cat in her arms. “Madam, something must have happened to Marcus. I’m afraid that the Quaid family will not give up so easily this time. A disaster is brewing in Riverdale. When should we take action?” Blake stood in the hall while bending slightly, looking very respectful. Giada stood there with a calm expression and said in an unhurried manner, “I see. I'll contact the Quaid family. You can just do your own thing for now.” Blake nodded and asked again after a brief hesitation, “Madam, there’s something I don’t understand. Who on earth is this Philip who's so audacious that he can still be alive after hitting the second son of the Quaid family? Are you and he…” Giada’s face turned cold. She stared at Blake and said, “Don't ask questions that you s
“Tell Len, if he doesn’t bring that person back, he won't be able to return to the Quaid family forever!” Quentin flapped his sleeves in fury. The butler wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded in response. “Yes, Old Master.” After that, he backed up and prepared to retreat. The intensity flowing from Quentin’s body was too scary, especially his battle-tested and murderous aura. It was absolutely daunting! “Wait a minute!” Quentin stood on top of the high hall with his hands behind his back. With his pair of ferocious eyes glaring, he coldly said, “Contact the Longford family of Riverdale.” After a while, the butler handed over the phone. Quentin answered the phone. There was a hearty and complimentary greeting on the other end. “Mr. Quaid, what has happened for you to call me in person?” “Hmph! Trent Longford, my son was incapacitated on your territory. Don’t tell me you don’t know about this!” Quentin said sternly, his face covered with frost. “Ah, you’r
After Philip and Theo left, Trent picked up the phone to call Quentin. “Trent, where is he?” Quentin was in a bad temper and asked directly in a cold voice. “Quentin, I advise you to stop while you can. The person Marcus offended is not someone you can afford to provoke.” Trent did not want to ruin his relationship with Quentin. After all, he belonged to the Quaid family of Capital City and had immense power as well as a profound background. Although the two were very close at one time, they parted ways because of an incident. “What are you talking about? Is there someone I can't afford to offend? Are you afraid to catch that person? Fine! I’ll personally bring my men to Riverdale!” Quentin was furious and roared angrily. However, on the phone, Trent just replied solemnly, “Quentin Quaid! This world is not owned by your Quaid family! There are larger forces out there! Don’t forget how your eldest son was incapacitated back then!” Lawrence? Hearing this, Quentin trembled
“This group of people has gone too far! I wanted to register for my son just now, but I’m not going to do it now!” “Damn it, I’m going to kill them!” “Don’t be impulsive. You can’t beat them. They’re members of the Hari dojo, so they’re very strong!” For a while, the crowd was enthusiastic but no one dared to go up because they were just ordinary people while the people on the opposite side were those from the dojo. They had learned the art of Taekwondo. Looking at the excited crowd, those Japanese men laughed uproariously while pointing at them and mocking. “Hahaha, idiots! You’re all weaklings. Nothing to fear at all. Orienta p*ssies! Come on, come and hit me!” “Bruce Lee, no way! Weakling!” “Hahaha, don't you know kung fu? Come and see how our Taekwondo crushes your kung fu!” Most people were agitated by their provocation. However, there were also a small number of people mixed in the crowd who were suspected of being pro-Japanese as they would sneer. “Just admit tha
Riverdale, First Palace villa. Today, Wynn was dressed very tastefully, wearing a backless black dress while having on delicate makeup. She looked at herself in the mirror while Anne behind her grinned broadly and said, “Wynn, you’re so beautiful. Such poise.” Wynn smiled, turned around, picked her handbag decisively, and said, “Let’s go.” Today was the day of the press conference held by Beacon, which Wynn had been preparing for the whole day. Ever since Philip left Riverdale yesterday, Wynn had been busy preparing for it. As she trusted Philip, the press conference today was particularly well prepared and grand. As for what was going to happen, Wynn had found out from Howard. This press conference was held to announce that Beacon would set up a new board of directors and that new investors would be joining the board. In other words, Beacon would get rid of the previous board of directors and become truly independent as Wynn's own company. Howard had also been busy a
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
