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
At the same time in Phoenix Pavilion at Phoenicia. Wallace Phoenix had just received the report about Fenix Hotel. Apart from anger, he was also full of shock! Unexpectedly, this Young Master Clarke’s methods were so forceful! It actually took him less than half an hour to completely defeat a worthy opponent like Cecil Dane! Moreover, Bowen was successfully released from prison, redefining the sphere of influence and ranking in the South River District. It was Bowen Roy! He was the epitome of a real overlord! Wallace once looked up to Bowen. There were too many variables in the underground chamber of commerce this time. Who exactly was this Young Master Clarke to employ such methods? He had the money. He also had connections. He even knew Don Garcia! The worry in Wallace's eyes turned into hatred and killing intent. He turned around and asked Jerome, the second brother, who was behind him, “Is everyone ready?” A trace of murderous intent flashed across J
Some people were so powerful that someone would turn them into puppets after they died and continue to use them, and the abilities they possessed before they died would be increased by several times. Although human puppets were powerful, they were difficult to produce and required the sacrifice of innocent people, so many people saw it as a twisted and forbidden technique. Every once in a while, human puppets had to kill some powerful practitioners to renew their skin or the skin would disintegrate until it became unusable. Although Philip had met Brett, it was just a brief contact. He was not clear about the Spade family. Philip believed that the human puppet must have been produced by the Spade family because the puppet needed practitioners to renew its skin on a long-term basis or the secret would be exposed in no time. A newly formed puppet had no thoughts of its own. It would gradually think like normal people as time passed, but the most important advantage of a human pup
“I’ve known Hercules a long time ago. He’s very powerful and a top fighter of the Spade family. I didn't expect them to assign him to us. I feel a little flattered now,” Loony said. Philip noticed his reaction. Now that he was rational, they could continue the conversation. “Did he look like this when you saw him back then?” Philip thought that Hercules' mechanical reaction was strange. No normal person should act like that. “He seemed stiffer before, just like a robot, and he almost couldn’t think for himself. “Anyway, he just has to execute the orders given to him by his master without thinking too much. I quite envy him sometimes. His master always speaks his mind without beating about the bush. If I can find such a master… “Bah, I’m an independent individual. Why should I follow a master?” As Loony described his earlier encounter with Hercules, Philip found a clue. “You're right. I finally know what's wrong.” Philip smacked his thigh. He felt that Hercules was too m
“To tell you the truth, we’ve always wanted to take action against the Swift family, but our identity makes it inconvenient for us. We've always hoped that an individual force could take action on our behalf. “The Swift family has other families to support them, but you don’t have to worry about them. We can take care of them. You just need to confront the main family.” Brett clapped his hands together, and a man walked in the door. The man was burly and looked like a strong fighter. “He’s a guard of the Spade family and a force to be reckoned with. To show you my support and gratitude, I’ll lend this guard to you for the time being. His name is Hercules, and he’s no different from the Hercules in our mythology. I gave him this name to make him stronger.” Philip smiled. Sure enough, only humans would appreciate such things. “Hercules, you’ll be their point of contact. You need to do your best to help them if they need help and hold nothing back.” Philip felt Hercules’ power
“We’ll be meeting a young heir of the Spade family. He holds the highest status in the family apart from the head of the family. “I’m sure we can solve the problem as long as we reach an agreement with him. I’m just afraid…” Philip was puzzled by Loony’s hesitation. “What are you worried about? Are you worried that the Spade family won't help you?” Philip was curious. He did not know the Spade family, so he could not predict their reaction. “I’m just afraid that they may be concerned about how this incident will impact them. Although the Spade family resented the Swift family, they've never taken action against them over the years, which proves their caution. Now that things have escalated, I’m not sure if the Spade family will agree to our proposition.” Philip nodded. It was certainly worth consideration, but they could only find out after a talk with them. Philip was not worried about it. If they were willing to cooperate, both parties could form a strong alliance, but it
“Calm down, you’ll have your fun after we deal with Loony. Taking action so quickly is only asking for trouble. We have to keep our cool now.” The ugly man fell silent at Drake’s words. He nodded and forced himself to control his emotions. “I’ll wait for the day, then. I have to commend Loony’s tastes. That woman is quite the catch!"… While Drake planned how to deal with Loony and Philip, Philip was discussing with Loony how to solve this problem. He knew that the Swift family was a force to be reckoned with, but they had to deal with them. Through the conversation, Philip roughly learned the general situation of the human world. All the major families were making a comeback, but the Swift family was the most arrogant among them. Another powerful force was the Spade family. The Spade family had always kept a low profile and had little contact with worldly affairs. They had always frowned upon the Swift family and opposed their crooked ways. After being imprisoned for so m
“I’m surprised that you’re such a devoted lover, but are you sure there’s nothing fishy about it? Humans usually look down on other races. Why would they propose a political marriage?” Lyle expressed his doubts over this matter. There had to be something strange about this. They might suffer a great blow if they rashly opposed the Swift family, but they couldn’t let the Swift family bully the woman of Loony’s dreams either. “I know it’s strange, but I’ve confirmed that the other party is indeed my lover.” They discussed at length but simply could not determine if this was a fraud.… On the other hand, members of the Swift family gathered happily as if there was something worth celebrating. “Are you sure we can trick Loony into coming over with this?” An ugly man looked at Drake with both curiosity and expectation. Drake nodded, excited at the thought that Loony would soon fall into the trap according to his plan. “You have to believe that he’s a man of loyalty and faith,
“Speaking of demons, I recall something. Before Rabbit's father died, he had a relic that he wanted to pass down to Rabbit. It was supposedly a valuable treasure that all demons would fight for.” Everyone was startled to hear that. “Something left by my father? Why have I never heard of it? Tell me the details!” Rabbit’s nonchalance was quickly replaced by anxiety. He had always attached great importance to news of his father. He had lost his memory, so he could not remember many things. He had no impression of his father either, which made him sad. “I don't know what your father left for you, but he was very adamant about giving it to you. It was hidden in the depths of the mountain at the time. Although it was said to be a treasure, I always thought it was just a gimmick.” Black Rabbit had always thought that Rabbit's father was an unreliable rabbit. He often used treasures to trick people into helping him. However, the treasures he gave were the real deal, so the rabbits
At Philip’s level, he could easily escape a carefully planned assassination like that. After the woman returned to the safe base in a hurry, a man appeared in front of her unhappily. “Did you fail your mission?” Although he looked unhappy, there was no anger in his voice. The assassin lowered her head and nodded nervously. She knew that death awaited her upon her failed mission. The other party sighed and said nothing. “This mission was issued by the Swift family. Although you failed your mission, they didn’t blame you, so you won’t suffer any repercussions.” The assassin was surprised to hear the man’s words. She escaped a disaster. “Really? That's great. My target this time is a strong, powerful person. We need to be fully prepared if we have to assassinate him again!” The assassin's name was Scorpio, a professional top-notch killer who rarely failed. However, she was defeated by Philip this time. Scorpio felt a lingering fear at the thought of Philip’s terrifying str
Moby was full of disdain for those people who kept bragging about their bloodline. Bloodline was important, but power was more important. It was sickening to see those people looking down on other races based on their bloodline when they were not strong enough to back it up. Everyone had always looked down on the fish creatures because of their bloodline. They had endured it for a long time. Philip’s arrival marked their time to rise. They had to show everyone that bloodline was not the most important factor in determining status. “However, the demons are not so easy to deal with. We have to be prepared for a drawn-out war. If I’m not mistaken, they’ll find ways to mess with us soon.” Philip was interested in the Swift family and wanted to find out more about them. “Normal people can’t get in touch with the Swift family. They've maintained the prosperity of the family despite being imprisoned for a long time, which proves their strong foundation." Loony was wary. He knew
