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
Before Victor finished speaking, Philip quickly grabbed Victor and pointed behind him. Since just now, the sounds of fighting had ceased. Wynn had already rolled down the car window slightly, peeking out to check the situation. Victor quickly changed his tone when he noticed that. “Oh, he’s a relative of Hoyt Luther, the director of the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce! How dare you stop his car! Are you tired of living?” Hearing that, Master Eight was shocked. Master Eight was already in his 50s and had always held an average position among the underground forces in Uppercreek. In terms of seniority, he was considered a veteran with many underlings. However, in terms of power, he was far beneath Victor. The biggest reason was that he did not have a background in business. Now, this person he had surrounded was a relative of the director of the chamber of commerce, Hoyt Luther! No wonder Victor thought so highly of him! If Master Eight knew that Philip was in fact the
The elegant woman sitting on the sofa smiled as she looked at Wynn and nodded. Then, she turned her gaze to Philip and said with a smile, “Phil, don’t you want to introduce your fourth mother?” Only then did Philip smile and help Wynn sit down. He said, “Wynnie, this is my fourth mother.” Fourth mother? Wynn was startled as her eyes doubtfully fell on Philip as she asked, “Father-in-law’s fourth love—” Philip quickly cut her off and made eyes at her. The graceful woman chuckled and said, “It’s okay, Phil. What Wynnie said is true.” Wynn realized her slip of the tongue and quickly laughed to cover her embarrassment while saying, “Sorry, Fourth Mother.” The woman smiled and took a delicate small gift box from the bodyguard behind her with her jade-like hands. She handed it to Wynn with a smile and said, “It’s our first meeting and I don’t know what you like, so I just prepared a random gift for you. I hope you don’t mind.” She laughed and joked, the smile on her face look
“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
The Hexa Guild also claimed that they would kill anyone from the Celestial Palace. Although upset, no one dared to say anything in the face of the other party’s strength. It would be embarrassing if they could not live up to their claims if they retorted now. Moreover, the battle was a matter of life and death. Everyone was risking their lives. The Celestial Palace had the confidence to face the Hexa Guild now. They believed that they could turn the situation around with their strength or at least show them what they could do. There would be a battle between the two parties in the afternoon, which was the best time to show off their strength. The young lady of the Celestial Palace would be the one contending. After improving her strength, Vanna was full of confidence and vowed to give her opponent a fatal blow or at least let them know how powerful she was. Ronan was nervous. He was not worried about his wife but worried that the Hexa Guild would take things too far. Those
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
