Jim hurried to the nearest computer to take a look. With a twitch of his eye, he said, “F*ck! No internet at this time? What’s going on?” “The neighborhood is being demolished. Could it be that the network cable has been cut?” “Don't worry, just call and ask.” One of them dialed the number of the telecommunication company. After questioning, he replied, “They said there’s no disconnection notice on our side and no one nearby has reported the same problem. It's not the signal.” “How is that possible? Isn't this obviously a case of disconnection?” Someone was anxious. Jim was also anxious as he glanced at the sky outside. His sixth sense gave him a bad feeling as if something was about to happen. “Everyone, check your phones to see if there's a signal,” Jim quickly said as he took out his phone to check. “Holy sh*t, there's no signal on my phone either!” “What the hell is going on here?” Jim saw that there was also no signal on his phone, but he had just answered a call
Jim looked at the information with a solemn expression on his face before he looked up at Philip and asked, “Mr. Clarke, are you sure you want to do this?” Philip nodded and said, “Ten minutes, can you do it? If not, I’ll find someone else. If you can, it’ll offset your blunder.” Jim gritted his teeth, immediately stood up, and said, “Yes, I can!” After that, he said to his subordinates behind him, “Everyone, hurry up! Spread the information on this paper to the entire Riverdale in ten minutes!” Philip did not bother to stay here for long. He simply turned around and left, leaving the rest for Theo to handle. Ten minutes later in the hospital ward Bernard rushed into the ward and shouted, “Martin, something went wrong! Jim betrayed us and was caught by Philip. Moreover, media all over Riverdale are broadcasting news about us embezzling Beacon’s funds. It’s also a trending search on Twitter right now. Even those things about us oppressing people have been dug up. What should
Several people were already standing in the ward. Charles and Martha looked anxious and distressed. Especially Martha, she kept pointing at Anne and Lydia while cursing. Wynn sat on the hospital bed and kept persuading her mother, “Mom, it has nothing to do with them.” Philip walked in, took a look around, and grabbed Martha's hand that was about to land a slap on Lydia’s face. He said sternly, “If you dare to do it, I'll have you end up lying on the hospital bed again!” Martha turned to look at Philip and was startled as though she had seen a ghost. She shouted, “When did you arrive?” After saying that, Philip shook off Martha’s hand, causing the latter’s face to grimace in pain. Her hand had not fully recovered yet. With this aggressive shove from Philip, it was almost broken again! Following that, Philip said coldly, “Go out. Don’t disturb Wynn’s rest.” Martha still wanted to curse and swear but was held back by Charles. Lydia Jensen and Anne Foster stood in front of
Philip stayed with Wynn in the hospital until the evening. After completing various tests, Wynn was discharged from the hospital and was ready to return to the hotel. There was nothing serious about her condition but the people around her were too nervous. After all, Wynn was about to give birth. Philip personally drove the car and did not allow Heath and his men to follow them. After all, Wynn was not aware of his power in Uppercreek. There were certain things he could not tell her just yet. After the matter involving Beacon and Martin Johnston was resolved and he took Wynn back to Arcadia Island, the time would be almost ripe. The car turned into a remote lane and they were almost less than two blocks away from the hotel. Suddenly, three vans flanked from the front and back, blocking Philip’s car. Philip was shocked and slammed on the brakes! At the same time, he reached out to grab hold of Wynn, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. He almost got thrown out! Ins
“You two, hurry up and get down! Or else, we’ll smash the car!” “Get down now!” “How dare you disobey Chad’s orders? Do you know who Chad works for?” Wynn’s delicate face was pale as she nervously grabbed Philip's hand and said, “What should we do? Let’s call the police!” Philip looked around and said, “Don’t be hasty. If we call the police, I’m afraid it’ll only anger them. If they smash the car, you’ll get hurt.” “What should we do then?” Wynn was so anxious she almost burst into tears. Philip looked at Wynn tenderly and said, “Wynnie, do you trust me?” “W-What do you want to do?” Wynn looked at Philip with uncertainty. Although she did not know what Philip was about to do, her heart still shook when she saw Philip’s sincere and gentle eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, “I trust you. What are you going to do?” Philip smiled, took out his phone, and quickly found a number. He said, “Call this person and say that Philip Clarke has run into some trouble. Then, close y
With that said, Chad raised the long dagger in his hand and stabbed Philip’s arm viciously while shouting, “Let me take one arm first!” They had thought that Philip would crouch on the ground in fear, or simply pass out in fear. To their surprise, Philip did not even dodge. Instead, he smiled oddly at Chad at this critical moment. Chad’s heart jolted! Those were not eyes that belonged to a sheep. Cold, cunning, and contempt for everything… This was clearly a wolf that ate people without spitting out bones! He must be taken down quickly, otherwise… As the thought flashed across his mind, Chad’s blade took a turn and aimed for Philip’s chest instead! Years of instinct honed by living on the edge of the knife told Chad that if the person in front of him was not killed in time, he would be in big trouble! However, it was already too late. Before Chad’s blade could touch him, Philip had already dodged the attack and retaliated with a heavy punch on Chad’s body! Chad co
F*ck, how could this kid be so aggressive? His skills were too awesome! All of them were thugs who made a living by fighting, but nearly 20 of them could not handle one Philip Clarke. At this time, a punk quietly snuck behind Philip and raised the steel pipe high to smash into the back of Philip's head. To his surprise, Philip seemed to have eyes on his back. He unhurriedly dodged his head to the side and lifted his leg, kicking the punk’s crotch. Instantly, the punk almost fainted from unbearable pain! Crack! Everyone present had a sympathetic expression on their face. All of them knew this was the sound of shattered balls. The punk who was kicked fell to the ground with a face full of pain while covering his crotch with his hands. His body was hunched like a shrimp, and he could not help rolling back and forth. After all, no man could bear this kind of pain. In the car, Wynn closed her eyes very obediently and also covered her ears with her hands. However, she c
Master Eight was startled. Why did this voice sound so familiar? He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with his hair combed back jogging over while glaring at him coldly. It was one of the three lords of Uppercreek, Victor Bell! Master Eight immediately began sweating and lost all his arrogance from before! Although he was known as one of the four underground kings of Uppercreek, he knew full well that he and Victor were not on the same level at all. Master Eight was simply a boss on the streets and made a living through gang activities without much of a background. He just relied on his seniority and a large number of underlings. As for Victor Bell, he had a huge background and owned countless businesses in Uppercreek. His wealth and power made him reign at the top of Uppercreek’s underground forces. In front of Victor, Master Eight was no more than a minion. “M-Master Bell, what brings you here?” Master Eight was a little flustered, wondering if the boss behi
“What do we do with him?” Carlos asked. He wanted to skin the hooded man alive. Rabbit bared his teeth. “Kill him! Take off his clothes and hang him outside for everyone to see!” At this time, Alain finally noticed the commotion on this side. They were very noisy, so everyone kept looking over, trying to see what happened. Alain saw a familiar man lying on the ground. “What’s going on?” He walked over for a closer look and saw the hooded man! “What’s this? How could this happen?” Alain was dumbfounded. The onlookers had been watching, so they knew the situation. “What happened?” Alain asked in agony, wondering what happened. A kind onlooker explained, “Oh, don’t you know? That rabbit knocked the hooded man out!” Alain was taken aback by that remark. “How is that possible?” Alain was full of disbelief and thought someone had done something behind the scenes. Although he knew that the rabbit was powerful, he did not think it was strong enough to deal with the hooded
“You went too far! I’m well-respected wherever I go. How dare you treat me as a pet?” Although Rabbit had lost his memories after turning into an inanimate puppet, he could still deduce what had happened from Philip’s remarks. The hooded man was embarrassed to hear a rabbit reprimanding him. “If I can take you as my pet, that’s just a testament to my ability. If Philip couldn’t control you, what’s the big deal if I took you for my own?” The hooded man had always seen Rabbit as a pet, never a friend. Rabbit’s only purpose was to entertain him and fight for him. “Philip, leave this guy to me.” Rabbit was eager to take care of this guy. Carlos glared at the hooded man, certain that he had never seen him before. The hooded man also turned his attention to Carlos. From the match earlier, he knew that Carlos was from the Celestial Palace. In that case, he would have no reservations. He wanted to get to know someone from the Celestial Palace anyway. He ignored Philip and Rabbit
“What?” Carlos suddenly felt that maybe that rabbit in the hooded man's arms was Philip’s pet. “Stay here. I’ll take a closer look. I have a feeling that the guy is more than meets the eye. I think he was the one sneaking around my house.” After saying this, Philip walked over briskly. He had never seen such an arrogant thief. The guy was bold enough to appear in public after stealing someone’s rabbit. “Did you steal that rabbit from me?” Philip approached that man and asked solemnly without beating about the bush. The hooded man was taken aback by Philip's direct approach. “When did you appear behind me?” The hooded man was horrified to know that someone had snuck up behind him without his knowledge. It was as if Philip was immaterial. Feeling Philip's strength, the hooded man dared not say another word. He thought he was undefeatable, which was why he decided to watch the fun in person, but he got careless. “Are you saying that this rabbit belongs to you? Why don’t you
Jeff sneered at this scene and knew that it was time for payback. He did not plan to kill Hogster at first. After all, he was the young heir of a guild and represented the Hexa Guild. However, Hogster had pissed him off thoroughly. He had to kill Hogster at all costs. Thinking of this, Jeff raised the sword in his hand and stabbed Hogster. With that, everything was over. Alain closed his eyes at this scene. He shook his head in helpless agony. Due to the technique that he practiced, he could not have another child. Although he had been working hard to groom Hogster over the years, he had not stopped trying to get another child either. However, none of the women could get pregnant! Hogster was his only child so far. Unfortunately, his only son was dead. Under Jeff’s attack, he turned into dust and vanished without a trace! “How did things turn out this way?” Alain aged drastically all of a sudden and looked very haggard. The hooded man watched the scene warily, shocked
“What's going on? What drug did he take? It’s so powerful!” Jeff exclaimed in horror. All his attacks were ineffective, so what about Hogster’s attacks? At this time, Hogster attacked Jeff. His invincible mode would only last a few minutes. He had to seize the opportunity to take Jeff down. However, Hogster was not worried at all. In his opinion, dealing with Jeff was just a matter of seconds. “Go to hell!” Hogster made his move. He launched a killing move without holding back at all. Jeff was no match for Hogster at all. He was sent flying and fell to the ground miserably. Everyone looked at him with pity. Jeff spat a mouthful of blood and looked at Hogster in horror. Hogster had become so strong that he was no match for him at all. “Hehe, is that all you can take?” Hogster sneered. He was about to kill Jeff when the latter took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it. It was the same pill he had taken earlier. Sure enough, Jeff was back to normal after taking
“Wow, I feel so good as if I just had a massage.” Jeff praised Philip in his mind. After taking the pill, he recovered instantly. Even the ailments he had been suffering from in the past were healed. He was in such good shape that he could face Hogster with no problem. He even felt that he could resist Hogster’s attack this time. Philip nodded. Jeff was quite good. He had thought that Jeff was already defeated and would not even be able to move. However, Jeff forced himself to take out a pill and swallowed it. “He’s quite good at persevering and has a bright future. You can consider grooming him,” Philip said to Jamie. Jamie was surprised to hear such a high assessment from Philip. Jamie attached great importance to Philip's suggestion. Since Philip said so, he would develop Jeff properly. “Aren’t you very full of yourself? Keep going.” Jeff rushed forward and started beating Hogster up. Hogster was already dying and could not put up a fight at all. “Stop!” Hogste
The Hexa Guild had lost the earlier match, so Hogster was upset about it. Their guild should be undefeatable. They should have made a name for themselves by now, but everything was ruined. Although Hogster did not know why the Celestial Palace was so powerful, he had a feeling that they were cheating. “I’m the pride of the Hexa Guild while you’re just an ordinary member. Don't even think about resisting me,” Hogster said calmly, clearly looking down on Jeff. Of course, Jeff was not to be outdone. “My favorite hobby is to beat someone while they're down. Your guild's reputation is so bad anyway. Why bother holding on to it?” His remark struck the Hexa Guild’s sore spot, and all the members scowled at him. Indeed, the Hexa Guild had a very bad reputation. They could only recruit ordinary people who could not join other guilds but yearned to practice. “Hehe, cut the crap. We’ll know the outcome after a fight!” After saying this, Hogster charged at Jeff with a weapon in han
It would do the Hexa Guild no good to keep Vanna alive, so they would not allow it to happen. Although the members of the Hexa Guild were angry, they quickly cheered up. There would be several matches with the Celestial Palace to go. They could not lose their fighting spirit because of this trivial matter. “Let’s see how powerful the Celestial Palace is. I refuse to believe that we’re no match for them.” Hogster decided to take the stage because the upcoming opponent was just an ordinary member of the Celestial Palace. They were not very strong. In his opinion, an ordinary member could not be very strong. It would be easy to win this match, and it would save him a lot of trouble too. It would be bad if he faced a dark horse like the previous match. The hooded man saw the performance of the Celestial Palace and was surprised by their extraordinary strength. However, he did not notice anything unusual. He simply thought that it was their usual strength. Since they were so str
“This is interesting.” The hooded man glanced at the people discussing this matter and felt expectant. He could not wait to meet Philip. On the other hand, Philip was watching the competition and had no idea what was going on. “Oh, I see, you’re the young lady of the Celestial Palace. I thought you were very powerful, but this is all there is to you.” Vanna’s opponent was an ugly woman who was very upset with her beautiful appearance. Vanna looked at her mockingly. “The outcome has yet to be determined. I don’t think you’re any better either.” After saying this, Vanna looked at the other party, waiting for her to make the first move. The ugly woman was furious at Vanna’s provocation. “Very well. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, let me show you what I’m capable of!” After saying this, she attacked Vanna as if she were ready to get rid of her. She had received an order from the guild leader to deal with Vanna properly. The Hexa Guild had initially planned to qu
