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
“Hahaha, I want to see exactly how Theo and you are going to take my life today!” Cecil laughed, his eyes filled with an expression of victory. His people had already arrived! They outnumbered Theo’s men now! How could they be a match? In an instant, the figures gathered from all directions. Yielding weapons, they instantly filled the small square in front of Fenix Hotel. This was an unexpected turn of events. The change in this scene shocked everyone present! As expected of Cecil Dane! He had a backup plan! This reversal caused everyone in the lobby and upstairs to sigh and shake their heads. Among them, Peter Murdoch was the most triumphant. When he noticed the arrival of Cecil’s men, he immediately smiled and ran up to Cecil to flatter him. “Master Cecil, you’re very wise indeed. What a godly plan! This time, it’s all over for Theo and that Mr. Clarke.” As he spoke, Peter also glanced at Philip on the opposite side. There was a look of contempt and mockery in
Earlier, Cecil had flown into a rage and shouted at his capable assistants Razor and Ali. The two guys remained silent while looking at Cecil coldly. They were motionless. They were resisting orders! Cecil frowned and yelled, “Razor, Ali, are you f*cking deaf? I told you to hack him into pieces!” However, the tattooed Razor and the burly Ali who was wearing a green vest still did not move a step. They stood there coldly with a sea of people behind them, just looking at Cecil. They looked as if they were staring at an idiot. “Master Cecil, I’m sorry, but ten minutes ago, you were already kicked out of the board of directors by Cecily Group.” Razor put his hands in his pants pocket and said with an unruly sneer at the corner of his mouth. Boom! Hearing this, Cecil's heart trembled as his brows furrowed. He then roared furiously. “What the hell are you talking about? I’m the chairman of Cecily Group. Who the hell dares to kick me out?” Cecil was enraged! Were they tu
Philip shrugged at Jamie’s words. “It's just a small matter. Whether you accept the challenge or not, it's not a big deal.” Every guild had to safeguard their dignity. They had to accept the challenge or they would be seen as cowards. Philip smiled. No matter what they decided, he had a bold idea. Jamie nodded thoughtfully at Philip’s words. After some deliberation, he said goodbye to Philip. He knew what he should do. Not long after Jamie left, the news that the Celestial Palace accepted the challenge spread. They adopted a tough stance, criticizing the actions of the Hexa Guild. All the major guilds knew what was going on, but they were surprised that the Celestial Palace was brave enough to make everything public, which was no different from exposing the other party’s crimes. The Hexa Guild finally revealed their true colors. The members were ashamed of being part of the Hexa Guild. The members of the Hexa Guild knew about Lincoln's stance and were worried, wondering
Alain would be doomed if Lincoln ignored him. “No way!” Alain panicked, horrified at this development. The whole guild might be at stake if Lincoln was unwilling to help him. “I've decided not to get involved in this case anymore. Deal with the mess you created yourself. Don’t expect my help.” Lincoln was very decisive about ignoring Alain. Hearing that, everyone was in despair. “Grandmaster, don’t do this to me!” Alain knew that he was doomed. He wanted to persuade Lincoln to help him, but it seemed hopeless. Lincoln waved his hand and turned away, unwilling to lay his eyes on Alain again. In his opinion, the biggest mistake was choosing such a person as the guild leader. It did not make sense for a guild to turn out this way. If Dennis had been in charge, everything would have been different. Left in the room, Hogster and Alain looked at each other, at a loss for what to do. They had thought that Lincoln would solve the problem for them, so they just did whatever th
Alain rushed over to Lincoln to boast about his plan. He knew that Lincoln would be proud of him after hearing it. However, Alain got a slap on his face before he could even speak. He stared at Lincoln blankly, wondering what just happened. “Why did you hit me?” Alain felt embarrassed and sorry for himself. After all, Hogster and many other guild members were around. At his age, it was unacceptable to be slapped in public for no reason. The onlookers backed away in fear, avoiding eye contact with Lincoln. The murderous gaze in Lincoln’s eyes was terrifying. “Why did I hit you? Don't you know why?” Lincoln trembled in anger at Alain’s reaction. This guy had no idea what he did wrong. “I saw Philip just now.” Lincoln stared at Alain, trying to read his thoughts. However, Alain was startled and confused. “In that case, you should've seen how scared he was. That’s what he gets for offending our guild!” Alain was excited and smug at the thought of Philip being scared out of hi
Although everyone was confused, they knew that despite his arrogance, Rabbit would not accuse someone for no reason. “I went out for a walk just now, and everyone is talking about the Hexa Guild declaring war on the Celestial Palace and Philip!” Hearing that, Lincoln nearly passed out. Since everyone was talking about it, it had to be true. He never dreamed that something like this would happen right after he left. “Old man, you need to tell us what’s going on. How dare you pretend to be a nice person in front of my boss? You must be tired of living!” Rabbit was very angry at this hypocrite and wanted to yell at him. Lincoln grimaced and shook his head. He had no idea what was going on either. “I'm really sorry. Let me get to the bottom of this. If everything is true, I owe you and the Celestial Palace an explanation!” After learning about the whole incident, Lincoln knew that the Hexa Guild was at fault for everything. He felt embarrassed by this. “Sure, I’ll wait for your
Just when they thought that Rabbit would lose his temper, Rabbit laughed. “I can’t believe that the Hexa Guild is bold enough to mess with us. You gave me good news and for that, I’ll reward you handsomely!” Rabbit said with a smile. He took out a bottle of wine and handed it to the storyteller who gave him the news. It was a very precious item. The storyteller was shocked by Rabbit’s generosity. He ran to the side with the wine and started drinking it. At his level, there was no way he could finish the wine by himself. Overconsumption would lead to self-combustion, resulting in a loss rather than a gain. However, he had to drink some before someone stole it from him. The others looked at him enviously as he drank the wine, regretting not being the first person to tell Rabbit the news. The news had spread long ago, but they did not seize the opportunity and missed the wine. After Rabbit found out more details, he left, knowing full well that everyone was on his side now.
Jamie was surprised by Philip’s easygoing reaction and immediately felt the gap between him and Philip. If Jamie were in Philip’s shoes, he would be worried, but Philip was confident instead. Jamie had a lot to learn from Philip. Jamie had no idea that Philip did not take Dennis seriously at all. Philip had too many capable people under his command. He was not concerned about Dennis at all. In comparison, Dennis could be considered the most useless person under him.… On the other hand, Rabbit arrived at the market. Rabbit was quite famous among the major families by now. As a non-human with a violent temper, he was in the center of attraction wherever he went. Someone tried to kidnap Rabbit once, but not only did he fail, but the person was also beaten badly. To this day, the kidnapper was still bedridden in the hospital. Rabbit’s notorious reputation had spread far and wide, and not just anyone could deal with him. At this time, many storytellers were at the tavern tal
People in seclusion would usually not receive any news from the outside world, so contacting them would be up to luck. Therefore, Lincoln's appearance was good news for the Hexa Guild. Now that the guild was under scrutiny, Lincoln's appearance would save them a lot of trouble. Lincoln stood on the spot, looking at the yard curiously. Philip had modified the yard, so it was full of energy. Any practitioner would feel the difference at once. Jamie and the others had discovered this fact but never asked out of courtesy. Everyone had their own secret. Maybe this was Philip’s secret. Lincoln closed his eyes and felt the abundant energy. He was reluctant to leave this place that contained tens of thousands of times more energy than the place he had chosen for his seclusion. Lincoln felt conflicted. He could practice much faster in this place if the energy level remained the same. Thinking of this, he could hardly contain his excitement to practice on the spot. Seeing Jamie nex
Lincoln had never met a monster beast with intelligence! After taking a closer look at Rabbit, Lincoln had other ideas. Philip was most likely a powerful person with extraordinary strength to have such a powerful monster beast as his pet. Dennis was not a fool. Philip had to be powerful and not a coward for Dennis to willingly follow him. Thinking of this, Lincoln showed Rabbit enough respect. “Mr. Rabbit, I’m looking for Dennis from the Hexa Guild.” The guild members behind him were full of disbelief at his courtesy. They had served him for a while and knew his character very well. Lincoln would never be so polite to ordinary juniors, so this rabbit had to be unusual. Thinking of this, their attitude toward Rabbit changed from disdain to admiration. Rabbit was shocked by their eccentric behavior and looked at them skeptically. Seeing their smiling faces, Rabbit decided not to make things difficult for them. Besides, they were polite. “Oh, you’re looking for Dennis. Come
This guild member could not forget how Hogster had always stolen his resources by force. Hogster’s ugly face made him sick. Although Lincoln was back, he had lost all confidence in the guild. He just wanted to return to Dennis' side as soon as possible. Although he was a member under the guild leader, Dennis was the one who had been helping him all along. In fact, if not for Dennis’ support over the years, even Alain would not have achieved what he had today. Hence, this guild member had always been grateful to Dennis. When Dennis left, he wanted to leave with him, but due to special circumstances, he stayed until now. Unexpectedly, it came in handy. Alain was excited to hear that. In Alain's opinion, such a lowly member would not dare to lie to him, so he had to be telling the truth. He knew that this was his chance to settle everything once and for all. Alain had been worried that Lincoln would blame him, but Lincoln was deceived instead, which was great. He had nothing t
