With Philip’s permission, Heath no longer hesitated and kicked Angus right in the face. Instantly, a size 42 shoe print appeared on Angus’ face. Immediately after, Heath stepped forward and grabbed Angus’ collar, violently knocking his head on the floor three to four times. Only when Angus screamed and his face was covered with blood that Heath grabbed him by the collar again and dragged him in front of Philip. This… Angus was so startled that he even forgot to scream. What did Master Heath mean? Not just Angus but his underlings who were kneeling on the floor were also stunned. Why did he drag the boss in front of this poor loser? The most surprised was naturally Hector and his buddy. The two looked at this scene in astonishment and could not stop their jaws from dropping. Philip Clarke? How was this matter related to him? At this time, Heath grabbed Angus’ collar and said, “Now do you know what you did wrong?” Angus’ gaze shifted between Philip and Heath con
At this time, Philip spoke again, “Didn’t you ask me to choose between kneeling and jumping into the river? Are you still letting me choose now?” Hector quickly said, “No, of course not. I was blind and ignorant before this. Young Master Clarke, please let me off this time!” Philip chuckled, looked up, and his gaze fell on Hector’s buddy. At once, the guy trembled and his legs went weak. He immediately knelt on the floor. “Young Master Clarke, I didn’t mean to do it. Please let me go.” Seeing the frightful looks on these two people, Philip could not help but smile again. To be honest, although these two people had wanted to deal with him, Heath came in time and they did not end up doing anything. Hence, Philip did not want to go too far. Thus, he said, “Heath, that’s enough. Let’s just leave it at that.” Heath nodded. Then, he turned around, raised his leg, and kicked Hector and the others out of the bar. “Next time, make sure to keep your eyes open. Also, if you dare t
After returning to the hotel, Philip left Heath a few instructions and went upstairs. He did not notice two sneaky guys behind him watching as he went upstairs. They followed him the entire way, saw the room number, and turned around to go back downstairs. Then, they found Angus and Hector who were waiting in a car parked at the hotel’s entrance. After listening to his subordinates’ report in the car, Angus sneered coldly. “Young Master Hector, since we already know his room number, the rest will be easy. Rest assured that I’ll definitely teach that arrogant guy a lesson for you this time! We’ll make him a cripple and leave Uppercreek immediately. At that time, I’ll have to ask for your support.” Hearing this, Hector’s eyes exploded with chills as he responded, “Angus, that definitely won’t be a problem. As long as that son of a b*tch is crippled tonight, you’ll be my comrade for life! With me around, you’ll easily gain a foothold in Charbury!” After talking, Hector took the ba
Once he heard that she was alone and was also Philip’s girlfriend, Hector’s sneer turned malicious! “Hehe, I didn't expect that kid to have such a beautiful girlfriend. I’m sorry, then. He provoked me so you can go to hell for him, b*tch!” With a roar, Hector raised the baseball bat in his hand and smashed it on Anne’s head! Boom! The bat landed right in the middle of Anne’s head. She directly passed out from that, blood gurgling from her hair, instantly streaking her pale face with blood. “F*ck! Why is this b*tch so weak?” Hector was taken aback and cursed while kicking her. Wynn, who was resting in the bedroom, heard the commotion in the living room outside. She called out, “Anne, what’s wrong? What’s that noise?” Immediately after, Wynn stood at the bedroom door while supporting her big belly. She saw Hector and Angus with his men standing at the entrance of the suite, as well as Anne, who had fallen into a pool of blood at this moment! “Ah!” Seeing this bloody s
Blood! The floor was covered with bright red blood! Anne was passed out on the floor! She was covered in blood! After a brief pause, a heartbreaking cry was heard in the suite. “Anne, Anne!” Wynn recovered from her panic and immediately ran over while holding her stomach! Philip quickly squatted on the floor, put his finger just below Anne's nostrils, and felt for her breath. She was still breathing. At the same time, a few bodyguards in black suits were standing at the door of the suite. They were shocked by the scene in front of them! Fortunately, Mrs. Clarke was fine. Philip carried Anne bridal-style from the floor, looked at Wynn, and shouted at several bodyguards, “Contact the nearest hospital immediately. Also, call Victor to send more men to surround the whole hotel to ensure Madam’s safety!” “Yes, Mr. Clarke!” Several bodyguards nodded solemnly and got to work, calling the hospital and Victor. As for Philip, he turned and left with Anne in his arms. Stan
Following that, Simba played the video on his phone. The surveillance footage showed the entrance to Wynn’s hotel suite. Two guys ran to the door and clashed with the bodyguards there, who chased them out. Not long after, Philip followed them. At this time, a group of people wearing masks appeared at the door. Immediately after, Anne opened the suite door. The leader of the group raised the baseball bat in his hands and hit Anne right on the head! Subsequently, the footage showed Philip's arrival and how the group of people ran away. Seeing this, Philip clenched his fists tightly and took a deep breath with chills in his eyes! He recognized this group of people. It was Hector, Angus, and several others who had clashed with him in the bar earlier! He did not expect his show of mercy to bring Anne harm! Moreover, it could be seen that they were actually targeting him but since he was not around, they went after the people inside the suite instead! At this moment, Ph
Ross’ face darkened as he said, “Anyway, we’ve taken over this case and we already have the relevant evidence. We only need to ask a few questions—” “I’m sorry, Mr. Hogan, I want to handle this case myself. I have a feud with these people,” Philip interrupted Ross and said, “However, I can provide you with some information. One of them is Angus Wager, a famous figure in bar street. The other one is Hector Dunley from the Dunley family of Charbury.” “Well, Ada, have you taken note of it?” Ross turned his head and asked a female officer behind him. That female officer looked valiant in uniform. With a ponytail, a delicate face, lightly powdered cheeks, a pair of sultry eyes, and pouty lips, many men would think of her as a goddess. Ada Sacha nodded and said, “Ross, it’s been recorded. I’ll inform the others and immediately conduct a search in the entire city.” Ross nodded. Philip glanced at Ada and added, “I suspect that they’ll flee to Charbury. I suggest that you station yo
Before long, a group of seven or eight people arrived at the entrance of Hibiscus Hotel. Hector saw a row of sponsored cars parked in front of the hotel from a distance. Hector immediately trotted over, knocked on the car window, and whispered, “Seventh Uncle?” The car in the middle opened the door and let Hector in. Angus and his men saw this scene and tried to squeeze in but the convoy immediately drove away, leaving Angus and his men stranded. This scene made Angus completely dumbfounded! He had been sold out! F*ck! He had been used by others! “Son of a b*tch, Hector Dunley, you f*cking bastard! I curse your entire Dunley family to hell and back!” Angus exploded in fury while standing there and cursing. However, he also knew that he could not stay here for long. After cursing a little more, he quickly led his men to the car. No matter what, he must leave Uppercreek today. Otherwise, he would be finished! “Follow them! We’ll leave the city with them!” Angus ma
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending the lark family’s grand ceremony of the century,” a man announced in the middle of the square, and the bride stood next to him with a happy smile on her face. If Adam was present, he would definitely recognize the bride as the woman he had been dreaming of over the years, Ashley Bay. A handsome man stood next to the bride. His every move was imposing and domineering. They looked like the perfect match. Everyone looked at this scene and blessed them happily. “After a series of careful selection, I finally found the most suitable husband for my daughter. This is an important event for the lark people!” The lark people had a high status, and everyone wanted to marry into this family. After many selections, the bridegroom finally won the bride’s hand in marriage. Over the years, countless men had flocked around Ashley. After observations from all aspects, this man fit all the criteria—so much so that Adam had long been forgotten.
“This boot records various information about the lark people that may be very important to you. I believe you’ll understand after reading it.” After saying this, Renee handed the boot to Adam. She was not a fool. She knew that Philip was not the person initiating the search. Although Adam always remained calm, he could not hide his eagerness at all. Adam looked at Renee gratefully and took the book and started reading it without further ado. The more he read, the more shocked he felt. In the end, he was full of disbelief as if he could not believe what he saw. “Is this for real?” Adam finished reading the boot quickly and handed it to Philip and Carlos. The other two flipped through the book curiously. Philip scowled. He could not tell whether the information was true or false. “Is it true that the lark people have such an ability? It's recorded in the book that they can create a world. That’s simply…” Carlos was puzzled. Only a very powerful being could create a world. Was
“Please tell me how to find them. I want to find out what’s going on, even if it's just to convince myself to give up.” Adam decided that he still wanted to find the other party. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it. If everything was a lost cause, he would give up. Hearing that, Renee seemed conflicted as if deciding whether to tell them everything. “It doesn’t do me any good to tell you this. Why should I take the risk for no reason? I do business. You need to pay a price for it,” Renee said with a smile. Philip laughed. The words sounded very familiar to him as if he said them before. He used to say such things when he was doing business just to bluff some dumb customers. “Of course, I know you do business. If you’re willing to tell us something, we can offer you something in return, whether money or other resources,” Philip said with calm confidence. No matter what the other party wanted, he could easily provide it. Renee smiled at Philip’s words. “It's
The woman seemed amused by Philip’s request. “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, I’m not a liar. Although my actions don’t seem aboveboard to you, I’m not a bad person.” The woman did not hide anything. She knew that Philip had seen through the secret of her singing. As the only man who discovered her secret, she admired Philip very much. She once vowed that she would marry the man who could resist the temptation of her singing. “By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Renee, and I'm an employee of Moon Tavern. My job is very simple, that is to bring in more profits to the tavern.” Renee seemed very sincere and told them everything about herself. “However, my method isn’t very aboveboard. You already know that I make profits by using my singing to attract customers.” Renee mentioned her secret frankly, and Philip was surprised by her honesty. “As for the secret between me and the lark people, I can tell you that they hate me so much because some
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Philip was all the more interested in this mysterious existence. He wanted to find out who they were to act so arrogantly. Obviously, the lark people were stronger than anyone could imagine. Ordinary people were afraid of this family no matter how powerful they were. Maybe the storyteller felt uncomfortable at the mention of this family, but he quickly left after a while. Philip and the others were disappointed that they could not find out the news they wanted. When they thought that they had to return in defeat, a woman appeared and looked at them calmly. The woman was wearing a veil on her face, making it impossible to see her appearance. The veil was quite an extraordinary item that could block various detections. However, Philip recognized her at a glance. She was the woman singing on the stage just now. She actually approached them. Things were getting more and more interesting. “What you want to know is taboo. Come with me if you want to fi
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
