Uproar! He did not even know Don Garcia! In other words, Don came here on his own accord. Don immediately replied with a smile, “I’m Don Garcia, the owner of Cloud Pavilion. Young Master Clarke once asked someone to bid for Emperor Qianlong’s jade thumb ring from me, do you remember?” Philip thought about it for a moment and instantly recalled the jade thumb ring that was given to Wynn’s grandfather back then. “Yes, I had indeed bid for it.” Philip nodded in response before asking, “Then, why are you looking for me now?” Don said hurriedly, “You’ve misunderstood, Young Master Clarke. I heard that Phoenix Pavilion was going to auction a rare item today, so I came to take a look. I didn’t expect to meet Young Master Clarke here.” Don was also pleasantly surprised. Originally, he was just here for the excitement. He did not expect to encounter the mysterious young master whom he had been investigating for a long time. Since the last transaction, Don had kept an eye out f
Philip stood at the entrance of Phoenix Pavilion, his body full of chills! On the other end of the line, it was Theo’s voice. “Mr. Clarke, don’t worry. I’ve sent someone to look for them.” How could Philip stay calm? He said, “I’ll return immediately!” Having said that, he disconnected the call and started running before he could say anything to Don who was behind him. “Philip, what’s wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?” Melody followed Philip and almost fell behind as she asked anxiously. “Anna and Mila are missing.” Philip replied, his face full of nervousness. He was worried that something bad might happen to them. After all, the current Phoenicia was full of all walks of people, and no one could predict what would happen. However! Something had happened after all! Before Philip and Melody had taken a few steps, a group of punks carrying baseball bats rushed out in front of them. They were staring at Philip fiercely! At first glance, this group of people were
This person was very dangerous! Not only did he have 100 billion in assets, but he was also respected and fawned over by Don Garcia! This proved that the identity of the other party was absolutely extraordinary! The more this was the case, the more an iron fist was needed! They could not leave any stones unturned! If they allowed the tiger to return to its den, there would be serious problems! On Philip’s side, Don’s car had arrived at the Fenix Hotel and Restaurant. At the moment, dozens of bodyguards in black suits stood at the entrance of the lobby on the first floor as well as in the lobby. They were Theo’s men! He had urgently mobilized a small part of his subordinates to surround the entire Fenix Hotel. Philip got out of the car and ran into the hall quickly. Theo approached him anxiously and said, “Mr. Clarke, it’s all my fault. I didn’t arrange anyone to follow Anna.” Philip waved his hand, not wanting to talk about it. He asked, “When did this happen? Hav
Chills! Killing intent! The entire lobby of Fenix Hotel was filled with Philip’s raging anger at this moment! Yes, Philip Clarke was itching to kill someone right now! To touch Mila was to shake Philip’s world! He would make these people pay the heaviest price! Including their lives! “I… I don’t know. Don’t kill me… I really don’t know.” The male receptionist still shook his head, his face flushing with pain. Philip shook his head with murderous intent in his eyes and raised the golf club in his hand before saying coldly, “Sorry, wrong answer!” The male receptionist crumbled while clutching his broken legs, looking at the golf club that was about to fall. He was wailing in pain. Suddenly! An anxious voice rang at the entrance of the lobby. “Wait a minute! Mr. Clarke, please stop!” A fat middle-aged man ran over while clutching a black leather bag under his arm. He was sweating profusely. Philip raised his eyebrows and looked at the fat middle-aged man stan
“No, of course not. Mr. Theo Zander is here, so of course I wouldn’t dare to do this.” Peter still displayed that amiable smile. This type of person was like a snake, slippery as hell. “Peter Murdoch! I’ll give you ten minutes to tell me who kidnapped Mr. Clarke’s daughter! Otherwise, I’ll bring my men and demolish your hotel and restaurant!” Theo was also on fire. He knew that Mila was Philip’s bane, his everything! If Mila was missing, Philip would definitely overturn the entire Phoenicia to look for her! However, Peter still looked unrepentant and said, “Mr. Theo, I think it’s inappropriate for you to say that. I can allow you to search the premises or watch the surveillance footage. As long as you can confirm that this incident has something to do with the Fenix Hotel and Restaurant, you don’t have to ask your people to demolish this place as I will personally drive the excavator to demolish it myself!” After speaking, Peter stood there motionless. Theo frowned, s
Murderous intent permeated the air! Theo knew that Philip was livid. This time, no matter who the opponent was, he had to bear Philip’s anger. This session of the underground chamber of commerce was destined to be chaotic. These people actually dared to disturb a sleeping lion. After that, they quickly got into the car, left Fenix Hotel, and rushed toward Slim Three’s residence. On the other side, Peter came out of the lobby. The smile on his face had already turned into chills. He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number before saying flatteringly, “Joe, things are settled here. They’re gone.” “Where to?” On the other end of the phone, there was a cold male voice. Peter immediately bent over with a smile and said, “I’m not sure about that. Next to that Mr. Clarke, there was another man besides Theo Zander. He seems to have quite an identity from the looks of it. They drove away in a hurry, probably continuing the search.” There was a moment of silence on the o
Cecil stroked the girl’s tender hands and said, “Since he’s a dog, I have to feed him well. Look, as soon as I said I’ll give him Riverdale, he became so happy. What else is he but a dog?” “Master Cecil, are you really going to give him Riverdale?” the woman continued asking. “Since they’re my things, it’s up to me whether I want to give it to him or not. Why? Will he dare to snatch it from me if I don’t give it to him?” After that, Cecil laughed, put his arms directly around the sweet and beautiful woman, and fell on the gambling table. He led a wonderful life. “Master Cecil, be gentle with me…” After Joe left the casino, he called Slim Three. “Slim Three, how are they?” “Joe, don’t worry. Everything is fine. It’s just that the little girl is running a fever.” On the other end of the line came the laughter of Slim Three. Joe frowned, got into the car, and said, “Just make sure she doesn’t die. Keep her alive until the day after tomorrow. After that, wait for my news an
Slim Three only shook his head. This fourth brother of his really enjoyed this. He glanced at them before stepping away. Inside the dim room, there were many tools such as butcher knives and iron hooks stained with blood hanging on the dilapidated walls. Moreover, the air in the room was humid, smelly, and pungent. It was as if pigs were often slaughtered here. Anna watched as Fourth walked toward her with a sneer. She struggled violently with her screams all muffled. However, it was to no avail. Anna had only one thought in her mind right now and that was to protect Mila even at the cost of her life. She needed to protect Mr. Clarke’s daughter. Even if she were to be humiliated, this resolve could not be shaken. Fourth came over and hung Anna up by her hands, his eyes narrowing as he admired her svelte figure lewdly. “Hush, don’t be too noisy. It’ll be over in a while.” Fourth made a shushing gesture, tearing the duct tape over Anna’s mouth in distress. At that
Fitz felt particularly bad at the thought that he failed to protect his people. He vowed to take revenge. People of other races shared the same thoughts. Everyone thought that their people had gone out to seek ways to leave but were met with an accident. Unexpectedly, they were harmed by the spider people, which was simply despicable and unacceptable. “You just need to sacrifice one more person for everyone to leave this dangerous place and lift the curse from us,” Weaver said. Everyone's eyes turned bloodshot at his words, shocked that Weaver would say that so openly. “Hehe, you’re really bold to perform a sacrifice. Why not use one of your own?” Fitz laughed and stared at Weaver. Weaver scowled. Of course, the idea crossed his mind, but the records stated that they had to use other races for sacrifice. Using their own people as sacrifice would void it, so they had to use others. This would not only reduce the other party’s manpower but also save a lot of effort. However,
Philip wanted to figure out what the spider people were up to. It looked like they had been planning this for a long time, which was terrifying. He had to let the others know about this. Everyone had the right to know. Moreover, the pitiful magpie woman was scared out of her wits. Philip had to bring her home. “Let's go back now. We’ll explore this place later. Do you want to stay here or go out with us?” Philip looked at Celeste curiously. He did not think she was brave enough to venture out. Sure enough, Celeste tugged at the corner of her clothes as she pondered. “I'll go out with you!” Celeste finally decided after much deliberation. Since she had decided to follow Philip, there was no point in hiding here anymore. She had to pluck up the courage. Celeste had lived in the forest for very long and had never gone out before, so she was curious about the outside world. “I want to see the outside world!” Celeste said nervously. Philip simply nodded without a word. The
At this point, Philip sprang into action. He appeared in front of the other party, catching them off guard. “Who allowed you to kill people for no reason?” The spider people were shocked by Philip’s sudden appearance. They were frightened to see someone there, and he was none other than the human who had strayed into this place by accident. The spiders panicked and wanted to run, but Philip quickly released Puffy. The spider people could not escape because of the curse placed on them and also because of Puffy's existence. The passage only allowed entry, not exit. When anyone stepped into that passage, they would not only come under Puffy’s attack but also suffer a gut-wrenching pain. They felt something was wrong when they tried to escape. Someone noticed Puffy approaching them and yelled in fear, “It’s that deadly thing!” Someone recognized Puffy and ran away screaming. They had no chance of winning against Puffy, so they had no choice but to run. Seeing someone running aw
Philip could tell that Celeste wanted to help, but she was too weak to do anything. “Don’t worry so much. Let’s wait and see what happens. If possible, we won’t stand by and do nothing. These people are simply outrageous.” Philip did not have a good impression of the spider people, and this incident made it worse. “Not bad!” Rabbit hopped onto Celeste’s shoulder excitedly. Ever since he found out that Celeste had no ability, he liked her even more. He liked people who had no combat power. Except for that extra eye, there was nothing strange about her. Besides, she was quite a beautiful woman, so Rabbit was fond of her. “Philip will take care of it. Don’t worry about it. He’s an outstanding man who fights for justice. You’ll have a good life if you follow Philip, especially since you have that ability but are powerless to take care of yourself. I’m sure you need someone to protect you,” Rabbit chattered away. Rabbit knew how special Celeste’s ability was. She would be of gr
Celeste seemed simple and kind, and after she told Philip everything she knew, Philip and Rabbit gradually changed their minds about her for the better. “We actually learned such a big secret this time. What a surprise!” Philip exclaimed. He followed Celeste to the altar, which was very far away. Before they reached the altar, they smelled a strong stench of blood. Philip frowned at this unexpected development. Rabbit covered his nose in surprise at the strong stench of blood. “Wait, I don’t think it’s human blood.” Philip sensed that the blood came from the few pitiful races. “I can smell it. Except for the spider people, I smell the blood of other races!” At this moment, a soft sound came from the side. Celeste quickly pulled Philip and Rabbit to hide in the corner. Celeste had lost the ability to be invisible, so she could only take Philip to hide in a panic. She knew that they could not expose themselves. “Someone is coming. Stay here and don’t do anything. You’ll f
“No one ever comes to my place. You must be outsiders.” Celeste was curious, wondering who Philip was. Celeste knew about the four unique races, but Philip’s appearance and form did not fit any of them. “You’re right. I’m an outsider. I wanted to know something, so I came to the forest. It’s best if you can give me an answer. I don’t intend to harm anyone. If you can answer my questions, I’ll leave and remove the curse on you as well,” Philip persuaded her. He felt that the woman was quite sincere, different from what he imagined. In that case, there was no need to make things difficult for her. Besides, he did not feel a murderous vibe in her, so she had probably never done anything bad. Philip had no reason to make things difficult for someone who liked to hide and sing. “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I know, but I don’t really know much. I usually stay in my own territory and have no contact with the outside world. Even the other races don't know of my existence.” Rabbit
Philip felt that there was no problem with his hearing. Someone was humming a song, and the tune sounded very strange and spooky in the dark forest. Rabbit frowned and nodded. He also heard the strange sound and was scared. “Who has nothing better to do but to sing here?” Rabbit nervously grabbed the corner of Philip's clothes, afraid that Philip would leave him behind. Philip shook his head. According to the others, no one would come here for no reason. Due to various dangers in the forest, they would only wander around the edge without seeking trouble in the depths. In that case, the abrupt singing voice was very strange, indeed. “Philip, don't be nervous. Stay calm.” Rabbit's voice was trembling. Although Rabbit kept telling Philip to stay calm, he was already freaking out, so scared that he nearly wanted to run away. Philip knew Rabbit’s character, so he did not comment. He simply observed the surroundings and listened carefully to the sound, which was so ethereal tha
Philip took Puffy along and quickly arrived in a forest where the other races usually hunted, so they should not face any danger here. As soon as Philip left, a woman appeared in the corner and looked in the direction where Philip left with a conflicted look on her face. “Should I follow him?” Ariadna had been left behind in the snake people’s village. She had no friends, and no one paid her any attention. Sometimes, they even displayed their ridicule and disdain for her. She did not get good treatment even though she was a junior from the outside world. In desperation, Ariadna decided to follow Philip. Unexpectedly, she saw Philip with a cute kid the next second. Ariadna was surprised to see that Philip had such a big and cute child. “Wait, that kid looks a little weird.” Due to the distance, Ariadna could not see what the kid looked like, but his color and body shape seemed different from that of normal people. After much deliberation, Ariadna decided to tag along, co
“I’ll look around and find out what’s going on. Don’t worry about me. Look for Ronan if anything crops up.” Philip decided to leave Ronan in charge. Ronan did not object. He knew that Philip wanted to train him. He rarely interacted with others, so he had poor social skills. He had improved with Philip’s help, but his skills were still nothing compared to Philip’s subordinates. He was deeply moved by the opportunity that Philip had given him. “Sure enough, heroes will emerge from the youth. You two will have a bright future!” Wren said excitedly. Philip did not comment. After a few pleasantries, he wandered around with Rabbit. Selma and her people had no time for Philip. They finally found their predecessors, so they had many questions to solve. Philip was most interested in getting to the bottom of this mysterious place. It felt more like a cage designed to trap them. It was devoid of rich energy and other resources suitable for them. What was the purpose of the person b
