“It’ll sting at first and it’ll feel cold after a while, so bear with it.” The ointment had been warmed by the temperature of Philip’s palm. He dipped it with his finger and gently smeared it on Wynn’s neck. Philip did his task very seriously. Wynn did feel the irritation at the beginning, but she slowly felt her neck become cold. Perhaps the medicine was too good or it was purely psychological, but after the application, Wynn felt that the wounds on her neck were less painful. The bruises even seemed lighter. “Done.” Philip kept the ointment and subconsciously blew on Wynn’s neck. With his cool breath combined with the medicine on her neck, Wynn shuddered and felt as if many ants were crawling on her neck. When it was almost done, Wynn handed a box of tissues to Philip. “Uh, what’s up?” Philip did not understand Wynn’s gesture. “To wipe the sweat off your forehead.” Philip smiled slyly. “That’s not fair. You should do it for me.” Wynn rolled her eyes at him, st
“What are you talking about?” Philip chuckled and glossed over it. “Stay here. I’ll go there alone.” “The scene might get a bit bloody later, so it’s not suitable for a woman like you to be there. What if you suffer from psychological trauma?” Philip explained. After all, there was a dead guy and another one who was seriously injured. Philip wanted to find out who was the mastermind behind the scenes, and he would definitely use some bloody methods. If he took Wynn with him, it would not be suitable or conducive to Philip’s operation. “But they were here to kill me.” Wynn’s stubbornness flared again. She walked up to Philip, looked at his eyes, and said seriously, “This matter involves me, so I must go!” “Wynn, why won’t you listen to me?” Philip frowned and got slightly angry. He stood in front of Wynn, grabbed her arms, and said, “Be obedient and stay here. I'll deal with it. Trust me.” “No, I want to go with you.” Wynn was adamant, mainly because she was very worri
Juan’s face became sullen, and his eyes were stern. He stared at Philip angrily as he said, “My friend works here. That person told me about it, so I rushed here. Are you suspecting me?” “Who’s the friend?” Philip was relentless. However, at this moment, the door of the director's office was pushed open again. Nina Jacques ran in, flustered. She was nodding and apologizing, “Madam Johnston, I’m sorry. I told Mr. Parker about it.” Nina’s sudden appearance disrupted Philip’s rhythm. Interesting. Philip looked at Juan coldly, then glanced at Nina. This cover was well played. Wynn was also taken aback and asked, “Nina, do you know Juan?” Nina explained, “Well, Mr. Parker has helped me before. We were classmates from high school.” When Nina said this, her face was impassive and her eyes were unblinking as if what she was saying was true. Philip stared at these two people with a frown. He found no flaws. Did Juan really have nothing to do with this? “Juan, I’m warning
Philip nodded, patted Fabio on his shoulder, and said, “Well done. I’ll ask my wife to give you a raise.” Wynn frowned when she heard this. She could hardly wait to trample Philip under the soles of her feet! They were in the company. How could Philip not pay any attention to their image! “Please rest assured, Brother Clarke. All members of the security team will wait for your instructions.” Fabio was full of joy when he heard that he would be getting a raise. He was bursting with energy. “Just guard the door and don’t allow anyone to enter without my permission!” “Yes! Don’t worry, Brother Clarke, we promise to complete the task!” Fabio puffed his chest out, performed a standard salute, then turned his head to say to the staff next to him, “Did you hear what Brother Clarke said? Send 20 men over here quickly and block this floor completely. No one is allowed to enter!” As soon as the team member heard it, he also responded with a salute and hurried away. Philip stood
“Also, before recruiting them into the company, I investigated their backgrounds and there was no problem.” Philip was silent as he looked at the two guys on the ground. He asked, “How are they usually like? Do they interact with other people? Are there any attendance records?” Wynn glanced at Vulture who lay in a pool of blood. Fortunately, the window was open and fresh air could come in. Otherwise, standing in this utility room would be quite scary. “The two of them didn’t really talk much. Their personalities were not bad, but they’re both scientific researchers. As such, their communication skills are quite average. They were mostly focused on research. Generally speaking, the people who were in contact with them are the workers in the laboratory. Access records should be available and can be checked later.” Wynn was right. The people they usually came into contact with were colleagues in the research room, and they did not interact with other colleagues in the company. The
Wynn trembled and suddenly felt a chill running down her back. The security system in the research room was built by a foreign team. It was the most advanced security system in the world, but even so, it was absolutely insignificant in front of these people! “You said they can disguise their faces?” Wynn then recalled the keywords in Philip’s explanation, and a cold sweat drenched her back again. “Well, if my guess is correct.” A flash of chill appeared in Philip’s eyes. He walked up to North Wolf stoically, reached out his hand, and fumbled for a while on his cheek. Then, he pulled the skin on his face and ripped it! Hiss! Wynn went pale with fright. She covered her small mouth, her eyes full of panic! Philip was carrying a human face in his hands! That scene was simply too mortifying and was just like a plot in a TV drama. Wynn was so scared that she quickly closed her eyes, her body shaking like a leaf! Even if she was a little braver than ordinary people, she wo
Philip guessed Vulture’s thoughts and sneered, “You want to know what happened to your companion? Too bad, he’s dead.” How was that possible? When Philip said this, Vulture was full of disbelief. His body suddenly stiffened! He twisted his head and saw North Wolf lying in a pool of blood! Moreover, his true face was revealed! A trace of panic flashed across Vulture’s face. He hurriedly touched his cheek, then sat on the ground like a deflated balloon. He was laughing miserably. The human skin technology in the organization was so advanced. This technology alone could be sold at sky-high prices in domestic and foreign markets, and ordinary people could not discover it! However, the man in front of him had obviously discovered their secret! At this time, Vulture had no more desire to resist. He recalled the terrifying skills of the other party. Only people who had undergone special training would possess such skills! There was such a formidable person in little Beacon!
Juan sneered and continued with a frown, “Philip Clarke isn’t as simple as the young master of Clarke Group in Capital City! Although his family is now bankrupt, he isn’t! “Take a closer look! He has invested ten million in Gopher Delivery Services! “And this. He even has shares and invested in Apex Group, the company of the richest man in our city, George Thomas. “Wynnie, I found this out. Philip lied to you. He always had money, but he just refuses to spend it on you and Mila. He’s up to no good!” Juan kept telling her about the information he found, and Wynn frowned as she looked through the information. Philip had lied to her indeed. Not only had he bought Gopher Delivery Services, but he also invested in Apex Group. This happened many months ago. In other words, Philip had been deceiving her since then. Wynn was rattled and did not know what to say. She threw the materials down and forced out a smile. “Juan, I know all of this. Philip told me before. It’s nothing.”
Mason frowned at Aslan but did not respond. Philip said, “This guy has become Sienna’s underling. He’s here to find the Binary Herb for Sienna, which coincides with our purpose. Now, he wants me to hand it over or he’ll ask Sienna to kill me. I’m very scared,” Philip said sarcastically and could hardly contain his laughter. Hearing that, everyone was startled before bursting into laughter. They had been with Philip through thick and thin, so they knew who Sienna was. “No way, this guy is using Sienna to threaten Philip. Is he kidding?” “I’m sure he’ll be scared out of his wits if he finds out what really happened. This is ridiculous.” Philip’s men scoffed at Mason’s arrogance. Yule’s men were puzzled, wondering what was going on. “Before this, Philip almost killed a snake monster named Sienna. Unexpectedly, the snake monster escaped and found herself a human servant. On top of that, this human servant thinks so highly of himself as if he's very proud of his identity.” L
“Go and grab that thing for me. We have to get hold of it! Don’t let that guy steal our treasure. And remember to find the thing I want!” Mason ordered his men in a panic. Mason was startled by Philip’s speed of collecting things. Everyone quickly sprang into action. They were not fools. They would be penalized if they did not get things done. They raced against time to grab the treasures from Philip, but Philip was unfazed. He knew that all the treasures would fall into his hands in the end. Besides, the piles of treasures simply contained some pills and other stuff, nothing much. “Sir, we didn’t find the Binary Herb.” At this time, someone stepped forward to report their findings. Everyone was anxious when they realized they could not find the most important Binary Herb. Mason scowled at the bad news. “Impossible. The Binary Herb must be around somewhere.” The location of the Binary Herb was marked on his map. It had to be nearby. Mason looked around with the map
“Of course, an ignorant guy like you wouldn’t know what’s going on. This place is full of danger and had a powerful monster as a guardian. You don’t know anything because you’re unworthy.” Mason jerked his chin smugly, clearly proud that he knew some inside information. “If you beg me, I’ll consider going with you to deal with this monster.” In Mason’s opinion, Philip was no match for this monster. The bloodstains had to be from some weak monsters killed by Philip. According to his understanding, the legendary guardian snake monster was very powerful, not something ordinary people could deal with. “Don't you know why you’re here?” Philip said smugly. He knew that Mason was nothing but a pawn. Philip had seen through everything and was full of scorn for Mason’s nature. Mason was horrified that Philip knew him so well. “How did you know? I've been keeping this secret very well. No one should know about it. Did that snake woman tell you? That's impossible. She hates you very
Seeing this scene, Rabbit applauded excitedly. “You must be dreaming if you think you can fight Philip!” Rabbit said excitedly. Philip quickly killed the snake. He was surprised to find that the snake only had half of its body. He thought half of the snake was trapped in the stone, but it only had half a body left. “Did it grow from the stone?” Rabbit was shocked, wondering what was going on. “Something is wrong with this monster beast. It’s actually growing from the stone. How strange!” Philip was surprised by the strange discovery. “Indeed. It looks very strange, not like a good guy at all.” Rabbit was horrified and felt that the snake was more than met the eye. “Philip, look at this. Is it a description of this monster beast?” Rabbit looked at a huge stone tablet on the side in puzzlement. “Philip, look, I think this snake has something to do with that snake woman!” Rabbit was surprised to see what was written on the stone tablet and pulled Philip over for a look. The
“No matter what, we need to get our hands on it and don’t let it fall into the hands of others.” Before Philip could take the stone, he saw a snake coiled around it. “Hey, Philip, that’s a male snake. Maybe it’s related to that snake woman. Why don’t you ask and find out?” Rabbit joked. Philip shook his head with a smile. The two snakes were of different species. How could they be related? “If you’re interested, go find out for yourself. Don't blame me for not saving you if the snake decides to eat you. Curiosity kills the rabbit. Don’t forget it,” Philip said with a hint of taunting, clearly teasing Rabbit. The snake’s reaction was better compared to the two dumb octopuses. After noticing Philip’s presence, it flicked its tongue at Philip and rushed over. Philip noticed the difference in its tongue. Normal snakes had a forked tongue, but this snake had numerous tongues. The sight looked very weird and sent a chill up their spines. When the snake opened its jaws, numerous
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
