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
The masked guys looked at each other at that sentence. Upon taking a closer look, there was no one in the room except for a few beds! What was the situation? This was obviously a hospital ward! Where did everyone go? “F*ck! Who are you trying to scare?” The masked man who took the lead hardened his resolve. His eyes were glinting with violence as he tore open the wrapping around the long dagger in his hand, revealing a sparkling white luster. However, Philip kept his back to them. By looking out the window, he had a panoramic view of the scene of them barging in from downstairs. At the same time downstairs, dozens of bodyguards in black suits were rushing over in full gear! Philip turned around with a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth as he looked at the people at the door. He said, “Congratulations, please check the luxurious gift package you’ve just received.” “Check my *ss!” The masked man roared furiously as he got ready to hack Philip into pieces. Howe
Philip’s eye was twitching as a cold glint flashed across his gaze. He said, “If I want to touch him, according to your guess, will the person behind him save him, or can the person behind the scenes withstand my attack?” Don raised his eyebrows and glanced at Philip. After a long while, he said, “Yes, they can.”In an instant, Philip’s brows furrowed deeper! Theo stood aside. This was the first time he could sense such danger! Some people could withstand Philip’s methods! What sort of formidable character could this be to withstand it?! Philip was also silent with a layer of frost on his face. He had never been a bully. Although the Clarke family held most of the wealth in the world, he also had his own background and connections. However, many kings were vying for the throne. Furthermore, the Clarke family was divided into the main and branch family, which largely restricted each other.As for some special fields and some special people, they were also not something
Wallace’s expression was very unpleasant. The other party came to his doorstep without any hesitation at all. They were going to demand an explanation. Wallace glanced at Jerome and said coldly, “Arrange for someone just in case! This time, don’t mess things up again! Look for Lame Fred!” Jerome nodded and said, “Understood.” Then, Wallace followed the female assistant out of the office. In the lobby on the first floor, he saw Philip, Don, Theo, and others who had been waiting. The cold expression on Wallace's face immediately turned into a friendly look as he greeted them cheerfully with a smile. Standing behind Philip who was looking at the interior decor of Phoenix Pavilion with his hands behind his back, he said, “Young Master Clarke, I wonder if you have anything important for your sudden visit?” Philip turned around, glanced at Wallace indifferently, then flashed an unfathomable smile at the corners of his mouth. He asked, “Do you know what books I like to read?” Wa
Seeing Wallace motionless, Philip continued, “Why? Are you scared?” The corners of Wallace's mouth twitched as his eyes flashed. He said angrily, “Men, cut off their left hands!” As soon as his voice fell, several of Wallace's subordinates rushed into the hall and drew their daggers from their waists. “Mr. Phoenix, please spare us!” The dozen people who were kneeling panicked at the moment, desperately begging for mercy. However, Wallace just waved his hand. Swoosh! Sounds of swishing daggers fell. For a moment, the stench of blood permeated the whole hall, and everyone’s ears were filled with sounds of howls and wails. “Drag them out!” Wallace gritted his teeth. “Send people to clean the floor!” Soon, these people were dragged out while several others rushed in to wash the floor. Within ten minutes, the hall was restored, but there was still a slight smell of blood in the air. At this point, Wallace was gritting his teeth. With dormant hatred in his eyes, he sq
Wallace’s face was full of fury, and he was clenching his fists tightly. He had never suffered any disadvantage before despite being in the business for decades, but this time, he was meeting one setback after another. It made him very unhappy. The opponent simply did not play the game by the rules! Jerome’s capture was a small warning from the other party. Philip shrugged casually and looked at the pale-faced Wallace. He was not anxious at all. On the contrary, he appeared very relaxed when he said, “Actually, I don't know what I want. I just feel that since you said you have nothing to do with this matter, then why is your second brother mixed up with this group of people?” Wallace twisted his eyebrows and immediately explained, “My brother enjoys making friends with people. Perhaps they’re just casual acquaintances. Isn’t it normal for them to greet each other?” What a shameless explanation. “Yes, that’s right! What’s wrong with knowing a few friends? I just greeted th
Philip also lost patience at this moment and said bluntly, “Wallace Phoenix, I’ll give you two choices. One, chop off your brother’s hand and we’ll take it as nothing happened. Two, I’ll ask the men outside to come in and smash up your Phoenix Pavilion. Then, I’ll personally chop off your brother’s hand. How about it? It’s a fair transaction, right?” Fair transaction? It was a total loss! Wallace was full of anger. With red eyes, he shouted in a deep voice, “You’ve gone too far!” Philip shook his head and said with a smile, “It’s not that I’ve gone too far, but you did something wrong and have to be punished for it.” After that, Philip stretched out his hand and motioned to Don to hand over the document. He directly tossed it in front of Wallace, saying, “Look at it. It’s the notice issued by the association. Your Phoenix Pavilion has been ordered to close for reorganization… How many years is that?” Philip turned to ask Don. Don smiled slightly and replied, “Indefinite clo
After leaving Phoenix Pavilion, he, Theo, and Don were laughing in the car. Full of smiles, Don said, “Young Master Clarke, your methods are very clever. Wallace suffered such a big loss this time. I’m sure he won't let it go.” Before they came, they had made plans to put pressure on Wallace to make him lose more than he gained. Sure enough, Wallace was a person with careful thoughts, but he always overthought things. Often, the more considerations one made, the more mistakes there would be. In fact, if Wallace had gone to Miss Clarke for help, Philip may not be able to do anything to him. Don had mentioned that the person behind Miss Clarke was on par with Philip. If the two parties went head to head with each other, it would be enough to destroy the world! Therefore, no one would make the first move. However, Wallace was not aware of this. Clearly, he wanted to obtain the approval of the person behind Miss Clarke, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow the gr
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
