As soon as this was said, the temperature in the entire hall dropped sharply! The coldness was terrifying! Even for the arrogant and domineering Miguel Wallis, when he came into contact with the cold gaze of 24 at this moment, sweat beaded unconsciously on his forehead as he swallowed a mouthful of spit. What a strong killing intent! The other party really dared to kill him! This was Miguel's most intuitive feeling! However, according to Miguel’s temper, how could he take this lying down so easily? He was very upset and immediately yelled, “Someone like you dares to kill me? Do you know who I am? I’m Miguel Wallis!” 24 snorted, looked back at Fulton helplessly, and asked, “Boss, is it okay if I kill him?” When he said this, 24 was completely indifferent. Even Giada, who stood next to Roger at this moment, dared not open her mouth to say anything. She blamed herself for pampering him too much, so much that he was so defiant now. “Miguel, you’re too presumptuous!”
Roger smiled and said, “Let’s wait for him to return before we discuss this matter. You should do your duty in taking care of the cooperation between the main and branch family. Don’t be too concerned about other things. I’ve my own arrangements.” It was a warning in disguise. Of course, Giada could discern the meaning. He was telling her not to dip her fingers in too many pies. Her handling the cooperation with the branch family was more than enough. However, how could Giada be content with that? Her ambition was not just the cooperation between the main and branch families. She wanted everything from the Clarke family and the power of the entire Arcadia Island! She wanted to complete the magnificent conquest that the Wallis family had not achieved for many years! Therefore, upon hearing this, Giada’s eyebrows furrowed. She raised her eyes to look at Roger and said, “You’re still wary of me.” Roger acquiesced, took a sip of the tea in his hand, and said, “Once the taste
Tim shook his head and chuckled. “That brat must be fooling around somewhere. Let’s not bother about him and drink to our brotherhood today.” Roger smiled in concurrence. The convoy, as well as Tim’s men, quickly left Cirrus Villa. The brewing storm dissipated in peace. A few days later, the annual underground chamber of commerce finally began! Early in the morning, Theo took Anna, Tiger, and his men to wait at the gates of First Palace. Six black Mercedes were parked at the entrance, as well as Theo’s Maybach in the middle. Such a scene would definitely shock the outside world if they found out about it! The big shot of Riverdale, Theo Zander, actually brought his men personally to wait respectfully at the gates. Who on earth could warrant such treatment? It was after about ten minutes before Philip walked out of the villa with Mila in his arms. As Wynn was still in the hospital for recuperation and Anne was taking care of her, he had to take care of the child. See
Even a big shot like Theo had to open the door to greet him? Wayne was not stupid. He instantly noticed something. There were rumors that people of the South River District would join hands to topple Theo this time. Now, it seemed that Theo had invited someone formidable with him. It would be another tough battle. Philip sat in the car with a sleeping Mila in his arms. After a while, he gently carried her and got out of the car. Anna also quickly got out of the car, standing beside Philip respectfully while helping him carry Mila’s daily necessities. This scene was even more bizarre in the eyes of Wayne and the other Kingsley family members. They brought a child? What was going on here? Wayne was in a daze. Behind him, the juniors of the Kingsley family started talking in low voices. “Is this the person that Theo Zander found? This must be the first time anyone brought a kid to attend the underground chamber of commerce.” “I don’t understand it. Maybe he’s already
Everyone turned in the direction of that voice and saw a group with dozens of people walking in from the door. The leader was a bald man with sunglasses. He was smoking a cigar and wearing a mink coat. His neck and hands were full of gold accessories and several jade rings. His attitude was arrogant! The pompadour was grand! There were also two hot and sexy women next to him with his arms around them. They looked very enticing with long legs and big chests. Behind them followed a bunch of tattooed and swaggering punks, all of them looking murderous. Cecil Dane! The third major force of the South River District! Everyone called him Master Cecil! He founded the Cecily Group that now had assets of more than one billion! As soon as Cecil appeared and stood in the lobby, the awe-inspiring atmosphere shocked everyone in the hall. What a domineering appearance! “Damn! It’s Master Cecil! He came here too!” “The underground chamber of commerce this time is going to b
Seeing that both sides were about to come to blows, Wayne Kingsley, who had been watching on the sidelines all this while, quickly stepped forward and said with a grin, “My honored guests, please calm down. Since you’re already in Phoenicia, what’s there to argue about? The underground chamber of commerce will be held two days later. If there is any animosity, you can fight it out during the event. Now, let’s make peace.” Cecil and Theo glared at Wayne at the same time, snorting. Wayne was also sweating profusely. It was not easy to be a peacemaker. A little carelessness would either offend this side, or that side, and maybe even both sides. Seeing that both parties had calmed down, Wayne quickly signaled to the lobby manager and said, “Why don’t you take Master Cecil to check-in and rest?” The lobby manager immediately came running and said flatteringly, “Master Cecil, please come this way.” Cecil glanced at Theo coldly. As he walked past Philip, he directly threatened him
Jay Drago?! Hearing this, Cecil trembled as beads of cold sweat started dripping from his forehead. The Brotherhood Fraternity belonging to Jay had been annihilated, and the news of this incident quickly spread in the South River District. However, the news was also suppressed quickly enough. Jay’s group was not ordinary. He was one of the five dragons of the South River District! However, because of his destruction, the South River District fell into the hands of the remaining four. Now, they were known as the four major overlords. Nonetheless, regarding the fact that Jay was annihilated, the remaining overlords were also very dazed. They had no idea who killed the man who had been active in the area for more than ten years. Moreover, according to reliable sources, everything took less than a day! All of Jay's turf, including his people, were either seized or arrested. The most terrifying thing that happened was the Anderson family, the largest family in the South Ri
He was not a person who liked to fight or kill. Everything would be fine if no one provoked him. However, Philip could not tolerate Cecil Dane. This was a very dangerous guy. He would not allow such a person to exist around him. Theo quickly replied, “Yes. Cecil made his fortune by roaming the streets back in the days. He committed many crimes and spent many years of time inside. Coincidentally, he encountered the division of power in the South River District, and with the help of his men, they pitted against his boss. They used violence to occupy the turfs and rely on killing to usurp the positions. They’ve robbed a lot of resources in the process. After that, he founded the Cecily Group and diverged into the real estate business. With more than one billion in assets, he has many men and is currently ranked third in the South River District.” Theo recounted Cecil’s information in detail. Philip listened attentively, stroking his chin as he asked, “Who was the boss he under
Unfortunately, Philip was not affected by such things. He had always thought that such women were disgusting. Since everyone had a backer, he did not mind resorting to force. He would not back off if the woman decided to use some crooked tricks on him. “I don’t mind talking to you, but you need to put on some clothes first. If you can’t even dress properly, I have no reason to talk to you,” Philip said with an arrogant air of superiority. Hearing that, the woman could not help but burst out laughing. “You’re such a nice young man. I always thought you were a lecherous guy, but you’re so earnest. It seems that you can be a good business partner. I like you very much.” After saying this, a jacket appeared in the woman’s hands, and she draped it over her shoulders. Katie gritted her teeth at the woman’s actions. She was annoyed to see someone having ideas about Philip. Although Katie could be considered Philip’s apprentice, Katie had a secret crush on Philip. However, Katie
“I think everyone is underestimating humans. There are powerful formation masters among the humans. Although such things can restrain humans, how long can they last? Humans are constantly improving. They're simply looking down on humans!” Loony spoke with pride, clearly satisfied with the strength of humans. “Don’t blame me for bragging, but the humans were imprisoned for millions of years, and we've been making progress over the years. Other races would have faced a dead end if they were in our shoes. Not to mention escaping, most of them would have died of depression, so I can’t speak for them.” At this point, the pride of humans was fully reflected. Philip agreed with Loony. These people really underestimated the humans' abilities. “I don't know where they’ll go after escaping, but humans need social interaction, so I’m sure they won’t hole themselves up in a cave or something.” Philip frowned at this statement. In that case, many humans had probably entered the city. Th
The demons gave Moby a potion to make him stronger. Although Moby was ugly, it did not mean that he was stupid. On the contrary, he was more cautious than other races. He simply took a drop for an experiment without taking the entire thing. The creature that took the potion did become much stronger but ended up as an empty husk with a soul after one hour. The other party could control this body like a puppet if they had the relevant spell on hand. Moby was shocked by this discovery. It would have been the end of his life if he had taken the potion. He would have been seeking death by turning himself into a toy in the hands of the other party. Due to this reason, he decided to betray the demons. Black Rabbit was conflicted. The demons gave him the potion too. He simply kept the potion without using it because of his caution. He had thought of using it as a last resort, but he was so good at hiding things that he forgot where he kept it. In the end, he never used it. Blac
Everyone knew that the guy was just putting on a show. It was stupid to confront humans recklessly. Only a fool would mess with humans. Lyle and Aslan looked at each other. They knew the severity of the matter and could not wait to tell Philip about it. “Let's listen to what they have to say. We’ll tell Philip the whole story after figuring it out,” Lyle said calmly. They knew that they could not take this matter lightly. Although they did not know who sold their information, the other party was definitely up to no good, so they had to be careful. “Philip is the leader of a large organization. I heard that he’s here to turn the world of the gods upside down. He’s not from among the imprisoned humans but came from another world, which proves that he’s a force to be reckoned with. We may end up suffering if we confront him!” “Did the man named Philip release the humans?” “His goal is to destroy and take over the world of the gods!” Everyone was shocked by that declaration.
Moby quickly told Philip everything he knew. He knew that he had to tell Philip the truth to gain Philip’s approval. The fish creatures would get a lucky break once Philip approved of them and accepted them as their followers. Meanwhile, the demons knew Philip's strength through Akash’s escape. Not only were they not deterred, but they became more interested in Philip. They were curious to find out more about him. They even spread news about Philip in the city, but no one knew if they were doing it for revenge or to stir things up. While Philip learned more about the situation, Lyle and the others went out again. They simply could not sit still at home. Although the outside world was a mess, they could learn more about local sights and customs. Lyle and Aslan preferred to sit in a tavern and listen to gossip around them. At this time, the storyteller arrived excitedly, almost bursting with important news. “I heard something big today. Guess what?” Everyone looked at him e
Philip did not intend to kill Tom. On the contrary, he wanted Tom to live well so that he could suffer in pain all the time. Philip smacked Tom's body several times. Tom felt something was wrong the moment it happened. He looked distorted as if he was controlled by someone. His body was also twisting in weird angles. “I’ve destroyed your practice. You can never regain your power even if the demons help you. What do you think of this reward?” Philip sneered at Tom’s twisted posture. Philip severed all of Tom’s veins and imprisoned him in the swamp so that he could suffer the erosion of the swamp day and night. He wanted Tom to watch over Marina's remains forever. “I don’t have any grudge against the merfolk. I promised to help you back then, but you were stupid enough to believe the words of a treacherous villain to the point of killing your holy maiden. This is really sad and ridiculous.” The merfolk had suffered a tragic end, which was pitiful, so Philip did not want to dwel
“Chief, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and finish the ritual. Don’t let that guy get his way. We have to get back at him for his disrespect.” After saying this, Tom charged at Marina. He knew that he needed Marina’s blood to have a fresh start. At this time, Moray took out the merfolk's pearl. They hid the pearl very well and finally found it in the warehouse. Marina smiled in despair at the sight of the pearl. She obviously did not expect things to go so out of control. “Philip, I’m sorry to have wronged you earlier. It seems that you’re the only good person around. Everyone else has an ulterior motive and is always thinking about using me. In that case, I’ll do the last thing I can do to seek your forgiveness.” After saying this, Marina rushed to the pearl in Moray’s hand with sorrow in her eyes. Philip had a bad premonition and had a guess about what Marina was about to do. “Stop her!” Philip waved his hand, and everyone rushed over. Some people pinned Moray down
Although Tom had been tortured beyond recognition, he was still rational and yelled out his plan. Moray was hesitant. He knew what Tom was referring to. The merfolk had a powerful secret technique to create an immortal body by merging the blood of the holy maiden with a powerful warrior of the family. Tom was in such a bad condition that he would be dead if they did not save him now. However, once Marina and Tom’s blood were merged, it meant that they would have to be together and never be separated again. Marina shook her head in rejection. Not to mention the damage it would cause her, but she did not want to share the rest of her life with Tom. No one could live an eternal life with someone they did not love. However, Moray had gone crazy. He was bewitched by Tom and only had victory in his eyes. Although Tom was in a bad state, Moray believed that Tom could turn the tables with a little help. With that thought in mind, Moray grabbed Marina and pushed her to Tom reluctant
“Very well. I approve of this marriage. After you defeat Philip and return in victory, we’ll proceed with your wedding.” Hearing that, Tom sneered inwardly. He was an ambitious man. He was unwilling to let Moray control him. He planned to get the merfolk's treasure now. As long as he got the pearls from the merfolk and fish creatures, he could dominate the world with the treasures that could store energy, and everyone would have to bow down to him. He could force Marina to provide her blood and activate the pearl.When Marina was in despair, the mud that trapped Philip suddenly moved. Everyone was astounded by this scene. No one thought that Philip could survive. He was very strong, indeed. Before Tom could attack again, the swamp exploded. Tom was shocked. He had a bad feeling that everything would progress differently. Thinking of this, he kept attacking Philip with every means he had. However, it was futile. Philip easily broke through Tom’s defense and attacked him.
