Caesar laughed cruelly and sinisterly. Unexpectedly, the other party ignored his warning and insisted on fighting with him. Good! Very well! He looked forward to seeing what resources this Philip Clarke had to cause his downfall! Caesar narrowed his eyes and sneered, “Since you’re unwilling to talk, don’t blame me for being ruthless! Make my company go bankrupt? Very well, let’s see what methods you have! However, before that, I must remind you, be careful or you’ll end up dead yourself!” “Very good, Caesar Bailey. I hope you can still remember what you said to me today when you finally kneel and beg me!” With that said, Philip looked at Hank coldly and warned. “If you insist on getting involved, I don’t mind dragging the Film and Television Association down with him.” Hank was stunned. The other party's tone was too arrogant! Did they want to deal with the Film and Television Association too? A reshuffle? Hank’s shoulders shook. At first, he thought that he cou
Theo looked at him coldly and said, “Hank, I advise you not to get involved in this matter. Mr. Clarke doesn’t want additional trouble. But if you insist on protecting Caesar Bailey, then don’t blame me for being merciless!” Hank frowned and glanced at Caesar, seemingly having a silent discussion. Caesar even gestured two fingers at him. Philip naturally saw this communication. However, he was unperturbed. They were just some small potatoes. The outcome would be the same anyway. Then, Hank stood up straight and chuckled. “Theo, I used to call you Mr. Theo in return for your kindness, but now, the world has changed. If you want to use your identity as the underground king of Riverdale to pressure me now, I'm afraid you won't be able to suppress it.” Was Hank not afraid of Theo? Of course, he was. However, the current situation was no longer something that could be solved with fear. Hank and Caesar were already on the same boat. One could not do without the other. A
“Mr. York, you haven’t called me in such a long time. I thought you didn’t need us anymore.” There was a teasing laugh on the other end of the call. Hank’s tone was low as he said, “Tony, I don’t have time to chat with you. Gather your men. There’s a big job today.” The other end fell silent, seemingly moving to a quiet area. He said, “What happened, Mr. York? Did someone mess with you?” Hank nodded and said, “Yeah, I’ll send you the information right away. I don’t care what method you use, just try to abduct him. If that’s impossible, you may kill him on the spot, but I want to see the corpse with my own eyes. After it’s done, I’ll give you ten million!” Hank was quite generous. Tony immediately agreed. “Okay, I’ll arrange for it immediately.” After the call was disconnected, Caesar asked, “Tony? The guy on the international wanted list?” Hank nodded and said, “That’s him! He started as a mercenary, known for his ruthlessness and high kill count. He came here six years
Hank took a cigarette and handed it to Caesar, smiling lightly as he said, “For the reshuffling of the film and television association this time, you must support me.” Caesar said with a smile, “Of course.” The two of them smoked calmly as if the outcome upstairs was already set in stone. However, unbeknownst to them... At this moment upstairs, just as the thugs rushed toward Philip, several bodyguards in black combat uniforms, black berets, and fully armed with ammunition suddenly rushed out of every corner in the meeting room! Moreover, a team fell directly from the sky. They broke through the window and rolled in, all holding their weapons and aiming at these people! “F*ck! What's the situation? Where did so many people come from?” “Run! Run quickly!” Instantly, the thugs tried to escape, but it was too late. “Stop! Drop your weapons! Do not resist!” “On the floor! On the floor now!” “Drop your weapons! Or else we’ll fire!” That was not all. At the same tim
Caesar knelt on the ground and felt very aggrieved. He never imagined that he would end up like this one day. Looking at Philip in front of him, Caesar seemed to notice something unusual amid his daze. Was he really defeated? Hank kept winking at Caesar and said, “Master Bailey, if you have any trump cards, take it out now or we’ll both die!” Upon hearing this, Caesar stared at Hank closely, his pupils constricting. Then, his face slowly turned red as the veins on his arm slowly popped! He stood up angrily, snatched the phone from Philip's hand, and shouted, “Fine! You asked for it! Don’t put the blame on me!” By now, Caesar had no other choice. Philip just looked at him indifferently as if everything was under control. That was the reason why Caesar felt apprehensive. However, there was no other way. He quickly dialed the number. After a while, the call was connected. At that moment, Caesar became very humble and respectful when he said, “Madam, something h
Could there be a hidden agenda behind his mother’s accident? After a few glances at Hank and Caesar, Philip came to a decision and said, “Okay.” With that, the fully armed bodyguards released the two. Then, Philip walked to one corner and said solemnly, “If you dare to lie to me, I won't mind letting the Wallis family disappear!” Giada chuckled. “I know you’ve made a lot of investigations into your mother’s accident over the years and a lot of the evidence points to me. But if I really killed your mother, would I still be the second lady of the Clarke family?” One sentence said it all! Philip was flabbergasted! Were his investigations over the years completely wrong? Impossible! How could that be?! “Bullsh*t! I’ve investigated for so many years and every piece of evidence points to you!” Philip exclaimed angrily. Giada continued, “You’ve been misled. What I can tell you is that the hidden force behind this is beyond your imagination. If you want to fight them, you
When the call was connected, Smyth's solemn tone was heard on the other end. “Philip Clarke, I’d like to ask you to release Hendricks Worley immediately.” Philip simply chuckled and said, “President Smyth, you really don’t give up until you’re faced with the gallows.” On the other end, Smyth was sitting in a speeding car while talking grimly. “Philip, this matter involves the medical association. If you do this, you’ll be making an enemy out of us, and your wife’s company will also suffer our vengeance!” Suffer from vengeance? Philip smiled with chills in his eyes and said, “Smyth, when you decided to make a move against Beacon, you already became my enemy. And as my enemy, the only unfortunate outcome is to be destroyed by me!” Smyth immediately exploded and roared angrily. “You’re playing with fire! I’m the regional president of the medical association. If you do this, you’re offending me and the medical association!” “So what?” Philip shook his head and sneered, “It’s ju
After Philip hung up the phone, he immediately called George and said, “I need information about Golden City Medical Association and Carr Smyth.” In ten minutes, the information was sent over. Philip looked at the information in his hand, his frown getting deeper as his eyes became full of killing intent. “This Carr Smyth is really something. He’s more formidable than Hendricks and Caesar.” Anna and Theo also had a copy of the information. Anna said, “This person has done so many bad things in this country but still lives so well. He must have a strong team behind him.” “Mr. Clarke, this guy manipulated many transactions in the dark and suppressed many companies. There must be evidence about that. If we can get hold of it, it’s game over for him!” Philip nodded. When he saw several articles about Smyth kidnapping family members to intimidate the victims, his frown deepened. Theo and Anna naturally noticed that too and recalled the content of the conversation just now.
“You’re right. The mermaid is such a mysterious creature. How can anyone cure its poison?” Stanley smiled wryly, feeling sorry for himself. “Philip, you have to find a way to save my father. I’ll do anything for you if you can save him!” Yule grabbed Philip’s shoulders with agitation. He begged Philip and almost knelt at his feet. In Yule's opinion, Philip was an omnipotent and powerful existence. There was nothing he could not do. Likewise, Aslan and the others shared the same thought. Therefore, they were surprised when Philip said that he could not save Stanley. Philip sighed. In the past, he had been to places of a lower civilization where the natives were not very strong. He could do whatever he wanted and no one could do much to him even if they wanted to. However, Philip was not familiar with places of a higher civilization. Even Rabbit only knew a little and was hesitant to speak. Hence, Philip was not confident he could save Stanley. “Maybe that creature came fro
“Let’s stop making wild guesses and wait for Yule's father to explain. This creature doesn’t belong to this continent, so no one knows what’s going on.” Philip reached out and gently touched the scales in amazement. He felt that something was wrong with this mermaid. With that touch, he found that the mermaid’s scales were better than those of a dragon. Philip once found a dragon scale by chance, but the dragon scale was not as tough as the mermaid's scales. Moreover, the mermaid's scales could change into various shapes, which was amazing. “If the scales are used to make a weapon, it’ll definitely be the best treasure. Not only can it attack and defend, but also…” Before Philip could finish his words, he heard Yule's father coughing violently. He seemed in pretty bad shape. “Rascal, go and look at the fish. She’s not an ordinary fish but a mermaid I found by chance! According to ancient records, there are many similar creatures in the world of the gods, and they're a force
Almost everyone knew about the condition of Yule's father, and most of them were there to watch the fun. When Yule and the others appeared, some people could not wait to start taunting him. “Oh, you’re such a good son. Your father is already in this state, but you’re still in the mood to fool around outside. You should start preparing for your father’s wake!” “The miracle doctor has given a diagnosis, saying that your father has only a few more days to live. Stop wasting time and start preparing for the funeral!” Everyone mocked Yule, who was respected simply because of his father’s position. Now that Yule's father was dying, no one wanted to show him that respect anymore. Some people even planned to steal things from Yule’s house! With no one else to back him up, everyone thought that Yule did not deserve to stay in that luxurious house anymore. Hearing everyone’s taunts, Yule was so angry that he trembled all over, but now was no time to argue. He had to find out his fath
Very soon, everyone left the King’s Ruins. Philip had taken care of the danger, so they just had to collect the treasures. Yule and his team were grateful to Philip and flattered him along the way. After all, they would not have been able to leave the place alive so easily if not for Philip. The King’s Ruins were still dangerous even though they did not face any monsters head-on. They knew they managed to avoid most dangers because of Philip. At this moment, Yule’s communicator vibrated. Only his close family members had his contact, so Yule immediately felt a bad premonition. He walked to the corner with the communicator and spoke anxiously. It seemed that he had encountered some big trouble. Philip waited for Yule to return to the team without a word. Ten minutes later, Yule returned to the team. He looked very depressed as if he had encountered a big problem. Philip noticed his reaction but did not take the initiative to approach him. He knew that Yule would approach h
“Philip, look, I solved half the problem for you. The rest is up to you.” After saying this, Yule laughed triumphantly, blatantly disregarding Mason’s cold glare. Mason frowned and looked at Philip with apprehension. He could not verify Philip’s story, but if Philip was telling the truth, he would have lost the bet again. “Get out of our sight. We've wasted a lot of time because of you. Don't blame us for attacking you if you stay here any longer!” Aslan had a hot temper and kicked Mason when he noticed Mason's hesitance. Mason fell to the ground miserably and looked at Philip with murderous intent. “Let’s go and stop wasting our time here!” After saying this, Mason took the lead and ran away, unwilling to stay here a second longer. Philip’s strong power deterred him greatly, and Philip was not afraid of Sienna at all, which crushed Mason’s final confidence. Mason was best at using other people’s influence, but it was on the premise that others were willing to bow down to
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
