“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.”
“You already mentioned this just now.” Philip’s expression gradually cooled down as he said, “If you continue telling me unnecessary things, I don’t mind making you end up like your companion!”Vulture was not a death warrior. Killer organizations were unlike gangster societies that put loyalty above everything else. In their eyes, only money and missions prevailed! Their loyalty toward the organization was the lowest because they lived on the tip of a knife every day. Therefore, staying alive was the most important to them. “Are there only the two of you in this mission? Is there a third person?” Philip asked. “There are only two of us. We were confident that our plan was foolproof,” Vulture said earnestly. “Do you know who’s behind the scenes? Who’s your employer?” “The Beauty Killers hired us. We were also quite bewildered at first. The Beauty Killers are also a killer organization, but they hired us.” The Beauty Killers? Margot Pearson?! Two balls of flames burned
“Don’t worry. He’s not as powerful as you think. Besides, you can take control of my body at the critical moment, can’t you?” Abele patted her chest confidently. Hearing that, the mysterious voice stopped wasting its breath on Abele. They arrived at Philip’s residence at this point. They were surprised to find the door wide open as if Philip was waiting for their arrival. “That’s strange. Does he always leave the door open, or is he prepared to deal with us?” Abele was puzzled and pushed the door open carefully. Maybe the door was too old, so it made a creaking sound, which was quite unpleasant. There was no one behind the door. “What’s going on?” The ugly elves entered the garden but only saw some empty teacups with no sign of anyone. “They must have heard the news and ran away in advance or this place wouldn’t be empty now!” Abele was disappointed that they ran so quickly. In reality, Philip had stuffed everyone in Verge Tower while he watched the scene in a hidden co
“Take this pill and you won’t have to go around with this scary face anymore. Even if it doesn't scare our women, it's not good to scare other people.” Philip helped Loony as a show of his sincerity. He was a pitiful man, after all. “That’s great. I’ve not seen a pill for many years!” He seemed to trust Philip and swallowed the pill Philip gave him without hesitation. He looked very satisfied as if he was Philip’s devoted follower. After he swallowed the pill, his injuries healed before everyone’s eyes, and he was soon back to normal. Loony was surprised by that powerful force and trusted Philip even more. Philip set a barrier around Loony and gave him a room to rest. The barrier he set could shield Loony and buy them some time. He knew that the ugly elves were right on their tail, and it was also about time for the merfolk to find them. Philip would be in trouble if everyone showed up at the same time. Therefore, it was better to conceal Loony and take care of the thin
“I’m running out of time. I have a curse on me, and they can find my whereabouts. I’ll die if you don’t help me.” “You said you can help me escape from this world. What do you mean by that?” Philip was more interested in this topic. After all, everyone would think that the world of the gods was a good place. Why would anyone choose to leave? Unless that person was a fool. This world was full of energy and resources. If humans were not seen as outcasts, Philip could not understand why anyone would want to leave. “This world is nothing but a huge cage. Those people are unaware of it because they're trapped inside. No one knows that they're nothing but the playthings of the so-called upper gods. They’ll be abandoned once the interest wears off one day!” Hearing that, Aslan came to a conclusion. This guy was no doubt a mental patient who should be sent to the hospital for treatment. “Philip, do you believe him? I think he’s nothing but a patient from a mental asylum.” Aslan f
“What’s this vintage family?” Philip had never heard of this family in all the worlds he traveled, so he had no idea what the other party was talking about. “My family is proficient in voodoo and has always used it to embark on the path of practice. But our powerful practice makes us a prime target for those with ulterior motives too.” The people of this family were very powerful, so everyone envied them and tried to harm them. “The members of my family led a normal life back then, but later, many people were deceived into marrying people of other races. As a result, the offspring of such pairings became monsters without legs! “We'd only find one normal child among a dozen children, which is a great blow to our family. No one could accept it! “I’m the only normal child among my batch of children, so I have a distinguished status. Something happened to my family after I was born, so I’m probably the last descendant of my family.” Philip was very excited to hear the other p
Meanwhile, Philip sensed that someone was fast approaching them. “Everyone, watch out. I sense something coming for us,” Philip said warily. There was a loud knock on the door. Lyle walked over curiously and opened the door. He saw a disheveled man standing at the door and staring at him. It was a scary sight, indeed. “What the hell? Dude, don’t scare me in broad daylight! What are you doing?” Lyle cursed in fright. He never dreamed that he would see such a horrible scene. The man was covered in terrifying wounds, some so deep that the bones could be seen. He had clearly been injured for a while. His face also looked incomplete as if his flesh had been gnawed alive by something. He was just unpleasant to look at. Aslan and the others rushed over, curious to see what frightened Lyle so badly. Everyone frowned at the sight of the man, shocked by his terrifying appearance. “Whoa!” Even the talkative Aslan was at a loss for words. While he sympathized with the other party,
Sure enough, the pill was nothing special. Apart from appearing quite tasty, the pill had no other effect. It was considered a useless item. “Humans are quite good at making pills. It’d be great if I had that ability too,” Akash said eagerly. He had studied this topic with others before, but they concluded that no other race had the talent to make pills apart from humans. Philip continued chatting with Akash, all the time wondering who he was. He could easily tell whether the other person's face was real or fake. This person did not disguise himself. His face was real. “Philip, I sense something wrong,” Lyle muttered under his breath. He sensed a strange vibe. A strong fishy smell was coming from a distance. Philip immediately recognized the source of the fishy smell. Who else could it be but the ugly elves? Abele was heading to the city with her troops. They knew that attacking these people was a matter of life and death. “We need to watch out. Don’t give them a chance
At this time, Akash ran over as if he were shocked to hear that sound. “Did you hear a deafening sound just now? I felt uncomfortable all over after that as if something was staring at me!” Akash said in a panic. He was now very jittery and afraid of everything. “Don’t worry, it’s probably an explosion somewhere,” Philip said. Akash was startled as if he could not understand Philip’s meaning. “Explosion? Is it a demon? That’d be very bad!” Akash looked around anxiously, feeling nothing else but panic. “Anyway, this is strange. No one knows what’s happening, so let’s just take it one step at a time. If a demon appears, we have no choice but to face it.” Philip waved his hand, not interested in this topic. They would have to face it, come hell or high water. Akash nodded and sat drinking his cup of tea with a bad premonition lingering in his heart. “Let’s hope you’re right.” Philip sat down and felt that something was wrong with Akash’s reaction. He probably knew something
The captured elves would suffer various hardships and become the humans' pitiful plaything. To prevent it from happening again, Akash forbade his people from stepping into the outside world. Therefore, it was ironic for him to summon his people here. “Find a room and have a good rest while you wait for your people to arrive.” Philip pointed to one of the empty rooms. Akash was exhausted after a long journey. Even though he had drunk a pot of tea, his mental state was not very good. He would collapse very soon without a good rest. Akash nodded. He did not refuse Philip's kindness because he knew he could not hold on much longer. He felt very unhappy at the thought of the upcoming battle.… At this time, the place responsible for imprisoning humans was getting restless as if the barriers were weakening. “Comrades, keep it up. I can feel the barriers weakening. We can leave soon!” A man shouted, and his words motivated everyone. Everyone was excited and worked harder to bre
“That’s great. I knew that our sacred tree would never lie to me. Only you’d dare to help me in this situation.” Akash was moved to tears by Philip’s words. He never dreamed that Philip was willing to help him. “I’ll try to contact the other elf warriors and see if I can summon them. Our combat effectiveness will improve significantly with their help.” Akash went to a corner to contact the elf warriors using a special method. They would sense it if they were still alive. However, he forgot an important thing. Abele was once a member of the family and knew about it too. She could feel the call the same as other warriors. As Akash summoned the warriors, Abele smiled wickedly. She did not expect Akash to summon his people so soon. “This took no effort at all. I was thinking if I should use my bloodline to search for his trace, but he turned up right at my doorstep. How convenient.” Abele found Akash’s location but was puzzled by his choice. “Is he crazy? Why is he in the h
