Thump! Connor’s heart jolted. This damned Philip! Did he hear everything? “Philip, why are you here so suddenly? Aren’t you supposed to be in Riverdale?” Connor asked. His face was calm but he was a little flustered. If he had really heard everything, their plan would be ruined. Hehe. Philip went over and kicked Levi violently in his stomach while snatching the report from his hands. Levi fell to the floor instantly, clutching his stomach and rolling all over the floor in pain! F*ck! What the hell? Why did he kick him? “Damn it! Philip, who are you to kick me?!” Levi roared. However, Philip ignored him and looked at the report. Connor was furious and tried to snatch it from him as he shouted, “Bring it here! Who are you to look at it?” However, before he could reach out his hand, Philip had already grabbed Connor’s neck and lifted him up! “I already told you not to harbor any thoughts about Wynn. Otherwise, I won’t let you off!” Philip’s eyes were cold, hi
On the other end of the line, Fennel’s lazy drawl was heard. “What is it? About the door?” Philip nodded and said, “I have a test report in my hand. It’s an analysis of Wynn’s blood conducted by Connor and Levi of the branch family. There are some data in it that I don't understand, and they may be related to the door. You’ve entered the door before so you should know something. I’ll send it to you later.” “Sure,” Fennel replied. Right after, Philip took some photos and sent them. After a few minutes, Fennel’s call came. His voice carried some doubts and concern as he asked, “This report was done by the branch family?” Philip replied, “Yes, it should be related to the door belonging to the Clarke family. What does the data on the report mean? Is it related to the door?” “Do you really want to know?” Fennel asked over the phone. Hearing this, Philip frowned and said, “I have to know. The branch family is making a move against Wynn. I need to know what they want to do in orde
The person in front of him was none other than Fennel Leigh. This was the second time that Philip met him. This guy always moved without a trace and was all over the world. He had too many secrets. However, Philip would not ask him about those. Fennel grinned and displayed his white teeth. With a flamboyant smile at the corner of his mouth, he held up the wine glass, motioned to Philip, and said in a lazy, magnetic voice, “Long time no see.” Philip raised his glass and the two toasted. He said, “It’s been a while.” Then, Fennel gestured for the two hot girls to leave and poured another glass for Philip. He leaned back, stared at the ceiling, and exhaled before saying, “It's still better to be back in a metropolis at home.” Philip took a sip of wine. He cut to the chase and asked, “I want to know everything about the door.” Fennel sat up straight and took out an object from his pocket—a black card. Philip recognized it at a glance. It was the black card from the Nona
“The first zone?” Philip’s eyebrows furrowed. “You mean the door controlled by the Nonagon is divided into different zones?” Fennel nodded and said, “It can be understood that way. The first zone is the most common area. Generally, those who can enter the door to learn are active in the first zone. Of course, even if they are only active in the first zone, they can still be a giant in their respective fields after coming out from the door and returning to society. Don't underestimate the world behind the door, even the first zone. There are many freaks inside.” Philip was calm. He looked at the two phoenix feather pendant keys in his palm and asked, “How many zones are there in total?” “Seven,” Fennel replied. “Which zone did you reach?” Philip raised his eyebrows and asked Fennel, who looked a little stern. “The fifth,” Fennel replied. The fifth? Philip’s expression quickly cooled down. A guy like Fennel only made it to the fifth zone? What exactly did the world behind
At present, there were only five pavilions in the Nonagon. They had yet to conquer the sixth zone, while Roger Clarke, who used to be in charge of the seventh zone, was labeled as a defector and driven out of the Nonagon. Philip’s brain spun rapidly as he quickly sorted out the relationships between them. Then, he asked, “My father used to be in charge of the seventh zone, which means that the Nonagon also controlled the sixth zone. Who’s that person?” Fennel’s gaze burned, and the corners of his mouth curved into a smile as he said, “You’re indeed smarter than I thought. You know the person in charge of the sixth zone as well. They have an extraordinary relationship with you.” “Who?” Philip asked with a frown. “Your mother, Charlotte Larson,” Fennel said. His voice was not loud but it made a huge impact. Philip was stunned, and his eyes went blank. Sitting on the sofa, his hands trembled slightly. Not long ago, Sheryl said that his mother was once the most talented geniu
Philip stared sharply at the four people who got out of the car. These people wore different clothes, and their mannerisms inadvertently made others feel the impulse to worship them. The man and woman from earlier welcomed them into the Concord Hotel very respectfully. It could be seen that the man and woman were extremely respectful to these four people. Philip just stood at the side of the doorway. When this group of people passed by him, he saw the faces of the four people under the black hoods. One of them had a stunningly beautiful face, fair skin, exquisite features, a pouty mouth, and almond-shaped eyes. On her neck, there was a geometric pattern of the Big Dipper. The second star of the constellation was the most dazzling. She was a tall woman, and as she walked, her hips swayed from side to side. She was flirtatious and sexy. She was also a cold and mature beauty. The person closest to Philip had a face filled with cold murderous intent. He had a fierce expressio
“Venom, that’s enough. Don’t cause trouble.” At this moment, the alluring woman beside the black-robed man suddenly spoke up. Her voice was pleasant and enticing. While speaking, she also raised her eyebrows and looked at Philip with a smile that was meant to be provocative. Hearing that, Venom Paine reduced his aura, looked at Philip meaningfully, and said, “You’re very interesting. I hope we can meet again later.” After saying that, Venom stopped looking at Philip. The woman beside him looked at Philip with a charming smile before she turned around and followed the other two people in front into the Concord Hotel. It was not until they left that Philip breathed a sigh of relief. The feeling just now was too strange. These people from the Nonagon were indeed extraordinary. Philip took a deep breath before walking into the Concord Hotel while being led by the attendant. Soon, he came to the main hall. At the scene, many glamorously dressed men and women were gathere
Hearing this, the crowd looked sideways and could not hide the fire in their eyes. It turned out there was such an opportunity tonight. In other words, if they obtained the favor of Sheryl Larson, they would have one foot in the Nonagon. This was a decisive opportunity! Many descendants of large families present at the venue initially had little hope at first and were merely trying their luck. However, when they heard about this, all of them rushed enthusiastically to Sheryl, uttering all kinds of flattering words. Sheryl dealt with them one by one, appearing very gracious. Philip sat in the corner alone, watching all this indifferently. A sneer of realization appeared at the corners of his mouth. Good for Sheryl Larson. It seemed she had been setting up a trap for him. A special guest enforcer? Interesting. Philip’s eyes were slightly cold as he stared at Sheryl who was surrounded by the crowd. The other party seemed to have seen him as well. She signaled her subor
“He lost his family when their enemies sought revenge while he was very young, so he's quite pitiful in a way.” Philip was not concerned about it. The life story of a loser had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Bryce was clearly up to no good. Getting to know him was a waste of time. “I found all the information he researched. To be honest, I’d think highly of him if he weren't up to no good.” Rabbit waved his paw smugly. He had looked through Bryce’s things and knew exactly what he had researched. Philip looked at a bottle of potion and could tell everything at a glance. “He’s a genius, indeed, but there’s no saving someone with bad intentions.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Bryce could only blame his bad luck for encountering them today. Carlos quickly took care of Bryce. There was no point in keeping such an evil villain. There was no need to be charitable in this situation. Adam looked at the room and sighed helplessly at Bryce’s unfortunate end. Although he had
Philip was curious about this situation. Since he could not get any information from the stubborn hooded man, he would find out indirectly. “That’s enough. Take him away. He has no value to us anyway. It's better to send him away.,” Philip said with disdain and did not take him seriously at all. The hooded man was shocked to hear that Philip was sending him away. He was nervous and afraid that Philip would do something to him. Although he was selfish and unreasonable, he was also a coward and afraid of death. Everyone sighed helplessly at his mournful wails. Adam closed his eyes, unwilling to get involved. Seeing this, Philip believed that Adam was unwilling to pay attention to his nephew, but he was still curious. If they were closely related, why would this guy's family sever all ties with Adam? It was advantageous to be on good terms with Adam. Not only would they receive guidance on practice, but they could also listen to his lectures from time to time. For example,
Philip and the old monk greeted each other happily as if they were old friends. Carlos was surprised to see Philip on such good terms with the high and mighty old monk. This was something he had never even dared to dream about. It was unbelievable that he could sit and drink happily with the old monk one day. “Let me introduce my friends.” Philip calmly introduced everyone around him, ignoring Carlos’ anxiety. Carlos stood up when he saw the old monk. “Hello, my name is Carlos. I admire you very much. I never thought that I'd be able to meet you one day. It’s my honor.” Carlos was happy and excited to get more perks than the guild leader. The old monk was quite friendly. After greeting Carlos with a smile, he looked at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “I want to find out if you know someone.” After saying this, Philip asked Carlos to bring the hooded man out. The guy was tied up tightly and looked pitiful. More importantly, his clothes had been stripped off,
The hooded man woke up very soon, and he could not believe that Philip caught him. “What's going on? How did you catch me? This is impossible.” He was very confident in himself and knew that no one could catch him so easily, but reality had just proven him wrong. He had no choice but to believe it. “What's impossible? You underestimate me too much!” Rabbit snapped furiously. “What’s your name?” Philip stared at the man curiously. He had a feeling that this person was the same as the old monk. “Rabbit, call the old monk over. I want to speak to him. He may not know you, so you need to tell him who you are.” After interrogating this man, Philip wanted to speak to the old monk and find out his opinion about this hooded man. Since the two gave him the same feeling, they had to be connected somehow. Rabbit hopped over to find the old monk. He knew that the old monk was the best referral for this matter because he was very powerful and knowledgeable. The old monk was resting
On the other hand, Lincoln was shocked to find that Hogster was dead. Lincoln had been watching the situation and knew that Philip was a powerful person. Everything was most likely related to Philip. However, he never thought that Philip could make people stronger. He had heard of some special circumstances that could improve someone’s strength. He had roughly guessed the implications but never paid much attention to the matter. In his opinion, the Hexa Guild was already ruined. If he wanted to save the guild, he had to get rid of Alain and his people. Lincoln had lost trust in the guild. If he had not left his seclusion by chance, he would not have bothered about anything. “Forget it. Stop throwing your weight around. Since your son died a tragic death, I won’t make things difficult for you,” Carlos said in disdain.He knew what Alain had done, so he did not have a good impression of him. Although his remark sounded a little hurtful, it felt good to say it. The other guil
“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
