Chip was not a fool. Philip’s nonchalant attitude was enough to indicate some problems! This man could not be provoked. Otherwise, he would end up just like Chuck! However, he had already offended him! Under tremendous pressure, people would be prone to wild imagination, just as Chip was facing now! Philip looked at the flustered Chip, the smile on his face still as bright as summer. In Chip’s eyes, however, that smile was terrifying! “I’d advise you to not make any judgments before making sure of the situation, or you’ll get yourself into trouble. Just like the Hane family, acting all high and mighty like this. They’re really not afraid of death,” Philip said indifferently. “Boy, don’t try to scare me. The Hane family is not as wretched as you say!” Chip scorned. “Perhaps in your eyes, the Hane family is very impressive and unattainable.” Philip continued calmly, “But in my eyes, they’re nothing but insects.” Chip was completely flabbergasted by Philip’s intensity now.
Chip was full of panic at the moment. That was the only thought in Chip’s mind. “It’s not that I’m complaining, but you just brought me in here. We haven’t even discussed this properly but you’re already letting me go. I feel very unwanted.” Chip was stunned at Philip’s words. He did not expect that the other party would say this, and it seemed that he had made up his mind not to leave! What the hell was he trying to do?! In Moonlight Restaurant’s private room earlier, this guy was very reluctant to come with them. Now that he was released, he was reluctant to leave. Did he have a loose screw in his head? Guessing that Philip’s identity was special, Chip dared not talk back to him so directly. “Why aren’t you leaving? Do you want to stay here? You’ll only get one chance. Once I change my mind, you won’t be able to leave even if you want to. The Hane family is not as simple as you think!” Chip was getting anxious. “The Hane family?” Philip scoffed disdainfully. “Do y
Klein had already returned to the hotel suite at the moment. He was sitting on the sofa in the living room and watching TV. No one knew if he was actually watching it. He just kept switching channels. “Mr. Hane, you’re too polite. We’re old friends. There’s no need to stand on ceremony with me. Naturally, I’d help you to the end for this matter.” Juan chuckled. “Don’t worry, Philip will definitely not escape this time. The things we’ve provided are enough to keep him in for more than ten years.” Klein nodded, finally feeling more comfortable. He said, “Mr. Parker, thank you so much. I’ve asked my secretary to prepare a big gift for you. I hope you like it. If you’re free, let’s have dinner tomorrow.” Juan smiled like a flower in full bloom. He was very happy. It was just a trivial matter and he had not even done much. He did not expect to forge a good relationship with Klein. This was a good deal for him! As for the thank you gift, it was probably not a simple one. The Hane
At this time, a black commercial vehicle was driving on the elevated highway of Riverdale. It was obviously heading straight toward the city! “Morons! You can’t even keep watch on one guy! If Third Young Miss finds out, none of us will be spared!” The one angrily cursing was a burly man who was sitting in the front passenger seat. “Mack, you can’t blame us for this. If someone from the Hane family wants to catch him, we can’t possibly stop them,” a man wearing a suit said from the back seat while wearing a sullen expression. Originally, he was the person responsible for keeping watch on Philip, but today, he suddenly discovered that Philip had been taken away by the Hane family. As such, he immediately reported this to his leader because he dared not inform Third Young Miss about it. “What is Third Master Hane planning to do in the middle of the night?” The man in the front passenger seat held a trace of unhappiness in his sharply-defined eyes and seemed full of complaints
“Third Master, this… You really should come here in person.” Chip wanted to continue explaining, but he was interrupted by Klein. “Chip Norton, I’ll give you another hour. If you still can’t produce any results, then you should just wait to be kicked out of the Hane family!” With that said, Klein hung up the phone angrily! Listening to the beeping tone, Chip looked at Philip helplessly as if he was waiting for further instructions. Philip seemed to have become his leader. With a smile, Philip said, “Don’t worry and just wait.” Until now, Chip still had no idea what Philip was waiting for, so he was confused. However, Philip said to wait, so he could only wait along with him. Besides, Baloo was also silent, which made him very anxious. Baloo stood behind the glass wall and looked at Philip with a half-amused smile while lazing around. This guy had escaped from under his nose the last time. This time, no matter what, he needed to blackmail a huge fortune from him befo
Hardy shook his head and scorned. “Mack, I’ve already told you that these people are a bunch of pig-heads, and that includes the Hane family. It’s useless talking to them. It’s better to just break in and bring that person out. We’re doing this for their own good but they don’t even appreciate it. If I were you, I’d just mind my own business and let them regret it later.” “Hardy, don’t talk nonsense! Mack has his own arrangements. We still have to wait for Third Young Miss.” Another person wearing a jacket spoke at this moment, “But then again, these people are really not smart enough. I really can’t bear it anymore. They’re just courting death!” The man in the jacket was Roy, a person with a sharp tongue. Of course, that was not to say that Roy and Hardy knew Philip. They were just worried that the appearance of Third Young Miss would render the situation out of control later. Hearing these two people's remarks and their insults directed to the Hane family and himself, Bal
In the end, Mack decided to expose his identity. He took out a small badge from his jacket and said to Baloo solemnly, “Special Field Bodyguard of the Joo family in Capital City—Mack Quinn!” Now, it was Baloo and his men’s turn to be stunned! Especially Baloo, who had an uncertain expression on his face. He quickly walked over, wanting to take a closer look at the little badge. After he looked at it clearly, Baloo's back was already drenched. How did things turn out this way? They were actually people from the Joo family! Special field bodyguards at that! Holy sh*t! Mack sneered, “Baloo, my identity shouldn’t be exposed so easily, but you guys are simply too stupid.” Hardy also laughed aloud, the mockery obvious. Baloo’s brows were already twisted into a line at this time. He never expected the other party to have this kind of identity! What about Philip Clarke? Was he one too? At this point, Baloo had no other choice. He growled. “Even if you have a special i
Baloo turned around and scoffed. “Are you threatening me? Mr. Quinn, you should realize that this is the private property of the Hane family, not the bodyguard room of your Joo family. Besides, empty threats don’t work on me. Even if your identity isn’t simple, it makes no difference. “At my place, you have to follow my rules!” Mack shook his head, feeling sorry for Baloo. He said, “Baloo, it’s not a threat, and I don’t have to threaten you either. I'm just explaining a fact to you. Philip Clarke is not someone you can provoke. You still have 25 minutes.” Hardy also looked at Baloo at this time with pity in his eyes. This guy was still putting on airs at this time! They had no idea what it would be like when Third Young Miss lost her temper! They really did not expect the Hane family to be in such a mess. They were simply a nest of vipers! After being repeatedly ridiculed and threatened, Baloo finally had enough. Besides, he was one of the three top gamblers in Riverdal
Other members of the family had been so pampered that no one could fight Ronan either. All of them were sent flying, and some of them hung on the tree miserably. Philip laughed at the scene. These people had always treated Ronan as a pushover when, in fact, Ronan was a force to be reckoned with. None of them was a match for him. “I know that other than my uncle, some other people were also involved in harming my mother, but I don’t know who they are. You'd better hand them over or no one will leave this place alive today.” Ronan’s killing intent was very intense. He was clearly very angry. Everyone panicked and looked around carefully, at a loss for what to do. They saw the fear in each other’s eyes. The family head had taken Ronan's uncle and some other people to a city. It was difficult for them to find a decision-maker when the elders were not around. The instigator from back then was not around either. Who else could they look for? “Calm down. This matter has nothin
Ronan’s uncle did not hesitate to force his elder sister to her death just to kick the most promising descendant out of the family. This grudge was unforgivable. Everyone laughed at Ronan’s audacity to seek revenge. Only a fool would dare to do that. “Do you know how powerful your uncle is?” “Although he’s not here now, he’s not someone you can afford to mess with.” Everyone mocked Ronan without taking him seriously at all. “Did you hear what I said?” Ronan scowled. These people kept disregarding his request and paid no attention to him. He felt very upset. “Since you won’t hand him over, I’ll beat you until he appears. If he’s not here, other people can take his place.” He knew that his uncle was quite powerful and would often go to other towns or cities for networking. While it was true that he might not be around, it did not mean that Ronan would not make trouble for the others. Everyone looked at Ronan arrogantly, waiting to see what Ronan would do. Suddenly, Rona
The guards were taken aback by Ronan’s sudden arrogance and looked at him doubtfully. “What’s up with you? Do you want to take action?” “After all these years, have you finally decided to avenge your mother?” They kept taunting Ronan without realizing how angry he was. “I repeat—I want to see the people who forced my mother to her death back then!” Ronan stomped his foot in anger and glared at everyone around him. The guards were startled because they finally felt Ronan’s strength with that stomp. They did not expect him to be that strong. Maybe because of Ronan’s fury, they finally realized his might and quickly scrambled into the manor. Philip saw the name on a plaque—Claude Manor. The place looked pretty imposing, and Philip felt a stab of longing as he looked around. Philip stood without a word. His main objective was to help Ronan. The guards ran away in a panic. They knew that Ronan was going to make things difficult for them. “It’s bad. Ronan is at the door
The man could not resist because he was alone. Next time, he would bring more people to deal with Philip. Philip saw his resentment but took no notice of it. No matter how much he resented Philip, he would not survive tonight. Such an arrogant and domineering person would not live to see the sun tomorrow. “Y-You hit him?” Ronan looked at Philip in disbelief, shocked that Philip would stand up for him. Although he usually appeared simple and kind, he was not a fool. He knew that Philip hit that guy to protect him. “If you meet such people again, just fight them and don’t worry about unnecessary things. You don't want to fight because you’re afraid of losing the right to enter the town, but you’re my brother from now on. “I can take care of your wine supply, and we can find other ways to make money. You don’t have to waste your efforts and live under someone else's roof anymore,” Philip said arrogantly, not taking these people seriously at all. Hearing that, Ronan nodded with
A man stepped forward at this time. “Ronan, have you completed your task? I have another task for you. Hurry up with it! I want you to hunt a thousand rabbits, and I’ll pay you one crystal for them. What do you think?” He had a smirk on his face. He was clearly trying to rip Ronan off. Ronan frowned. “Based on the market price, you should pay me at least ten crystals.” Hearing that, the man was unhappy. “That’s the price for a human. Who do you think you are? Giving you some money is good enough for you!” Ronan clenched his fist, and the man stepped back. “What are you doing? Do you want to pick a fight here? Once you make a move, someone like you will lose the chance to enter the town again! And you can forget about getting another task!” the other party threatened Ronan fearfully. He knew that Ronan was very powerful, but he had a good temper, so everyone always bullied him. “Is there a rule in the town that prohibits fighting?” Philip asked curiously. The smirking ma
Ronan and Philip moved forward and finally arrived at the human town. Philip looked around curiously and found that it was a large city. Humans had done quite well in developing a city. “If you’re not happy with this place, you can consider going to the city in the west. You can find many human territories nearby. I don’t know why humans are unwilling to live together but prefer to build cities everywhere!” Ronan was not human, so he could not understand it. “Although my mother is a human, I’m not. I only remember living in that hut since I was born. No other race is willing to accept me, including humans.” Ronan was embarrassed because he had scales on his body that were clearly visible at sea but not so much on land. Humans were unwilling to classify Ronan as a human because of that. Philip nodded, surprised to hear his pitiful plight. Not only did he not have his own race, but his mother’s race was unwilling to acknowledge him too. “That’s awful. Why don't you join u
“This is it, crystal! This little stone can get me a big bottle of wine! Since I’m lucky enough to meet you today, I’ll give it to you!” Ronan clearly had no concept of money. Philip took the stone from Ronan’s hand and found that it was no different from an energy stone. He tried to return the stone to Ronan, who rejected it. “I don't have much concept of money, but I know that money is indispensable if you want to go to the place where humans live. Just take it. I'm afraid that you’ll be detained if you don't have money. I was detained once before!” Philip was touched by Ronan’s words. He took out a bottle of wine from the space ring and handed it to Ronan. Although the wine was nothing to Philip, it was a rare treasure to Ronan, who had never tasted good wine. “What’s this?” Ronan curiously took the bottle of wine that Philip handed to him. He put it to his nose, sniffed it carefully, and was soon bursting with excitement. “This is good stuff! Do you want to sell it to m
“You’re not from a big family? In that case, how did you become so strong at such a young age?” Ronan looked at Rabbit in surprise too. “I thought you were from a big family, one of the best! After all, only such families have the power to capture summoned beasts for their descendants!” Obviously, Ronan had misunderstood Rabbit’s identity. Rabbit blinked blankly, wondering what Ronan was talking about. “Summoned beast? I'm not a summoned beast; I'm just an ordinary rabbit!” Seeing Ronan’s confusion, Rabbit smugly introduced himself. Although he had no idea what a summoned beast meant, it did not sound imposing, so Rabbit did not like it at all. Ronan was startled to hear that Rabbit was not a summoned beast but a creature with intelligence. He felt very powerful. “Indeed, he’s not a summoned beast but my pet. You can think of him as my partner. I’m more curious about this place.” Philip was puzzled, wondering what was going on in this world. He had not seen any towns so f
“This is the survival of the fittest! We were much stronger than them, so they were at our mercy, just like how we’re at your mercy now!” Someone stepped forward, his voice trembling as if he wanted to rebuke Philip. Seeing his timid appearance but bold attempt, Philip sneered, “In that case, I’m stronger than you, so there’s nothing wrong with killing you. You should pray that I won’t kill you in the cruelest way possible.” Philip raised his sword and killed the fish creature who voiced up. Any sign of weakness and these people would think they had a chance to survive. Ronan applauded Philip’s decisiveness and quickly joined the battle. Philip smiled at Ronan’s excitement. He simply wanted to vent. Over the years, he had been working so hard for his family and their future that he had almost lost sight of himself. He realized that maybe he should live for himself from now on. He wanted to become stronger and dominate the world. He knew that this was a real world. Although
