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
Bowen’s participation in the underground chamber of commerce back then was still vivid in their minds! That was the big boss recognized by the entire South River District, Riverdale, and the surrounding small areas. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the unofficial leader of the entire southern region. Back then, he was full of spirits, and wherever he went, he was respected as Master Bowen. Peter totally panicked and his knees went weak. F*ck! Was he not supposed to meet his benefactor? Where was that person? Was that a benefactor or a jinx?! Peter felt like he was about to die. On all levels inside the building, the prominent figures displayed different looks. They did not expect the other party’s trump card to be Bowen Roy! He was back! This session of the underground chamber of commerce would be full of surprises! Ken’s expression was the gloomiest. He had been preparing for a long time. After Bowen’s incident back then, he had rushed to catch up an
Razor stood there with his hands in his pants pocket and said nonchalantly, “Master Cecil, I used to follow Master Bowen in the past. The things you did recently have gone overboard. How many brothers who followed you back then were secretly disposed of? Do you really think we don’t know about it?” Toward the end, Razor was almost roaring with anger! After that, he took out a voice recorder and pressed the play button. A seductive female voice could be heard saying, “Master Cecil, didn’t you say that Joe is just a dog you raised? Why do you treat him so well?” Cecil’s voice replied, “Since he’s a dog, I have to feed him well. Look, as soon as I said I’ll give him Riverdale, he’s so happy. What else is he but a dog?” “Master Cecil, are you really going to give him Riverdale?” “Since it’s mine, it’s up to me whether I want to give it or not. Why? If I don’t give it to him, would he dare to snatch it from me?” It was followed by Cecil’s loud laughter… “Master Cecil, be gen
Philip was startled, and his face suddenly changed. The Beauty Killers was actually founded by his mother. What could be the secret behind all this? Philip was a little flustered, and the voice on the other end of the phone continued, “The Beauty Killers is a secret organization founded by the lady during her lifetime. It only obeys orders from the lady and did many things for the lady and the Clarke family. However, after Lady Larson’s accident, the Beauty Killers suddenly disappeared from the world for a while. It was only a few years ago that they returned to the arena and gradually began operations again. During this time, someone must have taken control of it again.”Philip was silent for a moment before reacting and asking, “Have you found out who it is?” The voice paused before saying hesitantly, “It’s not easy to find out. They’ve basically erased all the past information. I managed to buy the rest with a lot of money from some old friends. It can also be said that the
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
