Boom! The ground shook! Philip dropped the blood-stained sledgehammer in his hand. Next to him, Fourth stared with his eyes wide open before falling limply to the ground—all signs of life gone. This scene directly shocked Slim Three and Joe! Even Fourth was not his opponent! This guy was not as weak as he appeared! What sort of rich financier had Theo found? Joe frowned, looked at the tragic death of Fourth, and shouted to Slim Three, “Get rid of him quickly!” Slim Three looked at his brother on the ground who had died with his eyes open, his heart aching with grief. With a loud roar, he raised the iron hook and rushed at Philip! However, it was all in vain! Philip was so angry at the moment that his whole body was tense. His combat effectiveness immediately exploded off the charts! With less than one-third of the movements he had mastered from Reed Williams, he managed to suppress Slim Three and was pressing him firmly against the wall! “Did you kidnap them?”
Covered in a cold sweat, Joe was smiling through the pain while staring at Philip. “Haha, you? Don’t think you can touch my boss just because you have a few tricks up your sleeve. My boss is Cecil Dane! If I die, he’ll avenge me! You’re doomed! Theo Zander, it’s over for you!” Philip’s eyes condensed as he said coldly, “Bring him back!” After speaking, Philip handed Mila to Don’s people and said, “Can I trouble you to bring her to the hospital and arrange for someone to take care of her?” Don nodded. On the other side, Anna had been released. Although she was feeling weak, she grabbed a broken brick on the ground and hysterically rushed to Fourth who was already dead. She then smashed him at his vital place. Then, she rolled her eyes and fainted directly on the ground. Philip knew that Anna had to have gone through inhuman torture to protect Mila. Don quickly sent Anna and Mila into the car before rushing out into the rain. Melody naturally followed. Here, Philip, T
In this area, the killing intent raged everywhere, adding a layer of intensity to this rainy night. “Move out!” With that order, the fully armed men all assembled and opened the car doors before getting in. Philip and Theo also got in the car, and the engines came roaring. Very soon, more than a dozen black MPVs carrying these people followed directly behind the Land Rover ahead. They drove out of the iron sheet factory and headed toward Fenix Hotel and Restaurant in Phoenicia! The whole sky was dark and terrifying! The wind rampaged the trees while the thunder rumbled as if the sky was about to collapse. Under the heavy downpour, one car after another broke through the curtain of rain. They crashed past the puddles as they rushed toward their destination! Fenix Hotel and Restaurant, Phoenicia. The storm was about to hit! At the same time in the luxurious little yard somewhere in the Westside of South River District. Crack! A blast of thunder and a streak of light
After several beeps, the call connected. Fanny's originally cold and pale face immediately changed as her voice now carried a flattering tone. “Dave, what’s the situation? Why didn’t we receive any advanced notice that our venues would be raided? And so many establishments of ours have been seized at once. Is there a special operation?” A faint chuckle came from the other end of the line. “Lady Mae, what are you talking about? We’re doing our jobs seriously.” Fanny’s face darkened, but she still said with a smile, “Dave, your words are a little unconvincing. Despite everything, you’re friends with our master. Why didn’t you inform us in advance?” The words were not too harsh but contained a certain level of accusations. “Lady Mae, do we have to notify you in advance before we do our jobs?” The voice on the other end of the phone seemed unpleasant. Suddenly, Fanny's expression completely changed. This Dave had to be hiding something from her! “Dave, is it convenient fo
Philip got out of the car. A dozen black seven-seater commercial vehicles were lined up behind him, taking up the entire entrance of Fenix Hotel. Only an empty space right at the entrance was left. Everyone got out of the cars at the same time! Standing neatly and uniformly behind Philip while arranged in four rows, all of them looked serious and exuded chills! In this area, the rain poured relentlessly while the sky was full of thunder and lightning. It was befitting of this scene. Everyone swiftly opened up the big black umbrellas, completely covering the small square in front of Fenix Hotel. Looking down from a high altitude through the endless rain, black lotus flowers could be seen in full bloom—all neatly and densely arranged on the small square. The countless dark umbrellas added a fearless and deadly chill to the continuous gloomy rain in the sky! The sea of black umbrellas covered the entire front area, but only a wide umbrella surface blocked the rainwater.
Nonetheless... Philip raised his head indifferently, his eyes full of coldness and ruthlessness. He glanced at the smug Cecil opposite him and said coldly, “I’m not here for an explanation tonight.” Cecil was startled, and his thick eyebrows were furrowed. Suspicion flashed in his eyes, followed by a disdainful smile as he asked, “Then what do you want?” Philip was silent for a moment as a sudden killing intent soared into the sky after exploding from his body. He said in a deep voice, “Your life!” Crackle! A streak of lightning flashed across the night sky, completely illuminating the entire Fenix Hotel. Dozens of people on Cecil's side, including the spectators who were hiding in the hotel at the moment, watched the movements outside through the curtain of rain. On other floors of the building, prominent leaders from various regions who were paying close attention to the action of the square downstairs were also shocked by this sudden bout of lightning! Such a strong in
After that, the call was disconnected. With a frown, Yana flung the phone on the bed. With her arms crossed, she looked at the murderous scene raging downstairs. Could it be that other forces had joined in? Back to Philip’s side. He glared at Cecil as if he was looking at a dead person. Cecil was also taken aback by Philip’s words just now. He wanted his life? Very well! He was very brazen indeed! Cecil came back to his senses and laughed. “Fantastic! As expected of the rich financier who Theo found. You’re really bold! But do you really think people like you can take someone like me down?” He was furious. Cecil’s expression darkened coldly. The other party’s tone was too conceited! He had been in the arena for so many years and never been threatened by anyone! Interesting. However, in response to Cecil, Philip just smiled faintly and said, “You can try.” Arrogant! Overbearing! His calm words were like thunder on the ground, blasting through the hearts
After the phone was connected, Cecil asked coldly, “What’s the matter? Why are you calling me at this time? Don’t you know I’m busy?” He was at the brink of an explosion. Cecil was like a walking bomb, ready to explode at any moment. “Master Cecil, something has happened at home!” On the other end of the line, his subordinate stammered. “Where’s Madam?” Cecil’s brows suddenly twisted. Suspicion flashed across his face as he raised his eyebrows to look at Philip. Could it be him? “Haha, Master Cecil, long time no see. Lady Mae is safe for now.” Suddenly, there was a different voice on the line. Cecil had heard this voice before and shouted furiously, “Tiger Zander? If you dare lay a finger on my wife, I’ll kill you!” What was going on? How could Tiger Zander be in his courtyard? Instantly, Cecil reacted. He turned around, glared at Theo and Philip viciously, and asked, “Did you do this?” Philip said calmly, “I never go into battles unprepared. Cecil Dane, toda
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
