Fred picked up the wine glass on the table and finished it in one gulp before abruptly throwing it on the table. He put his arms around the two charming beauties and said, “Tell me, what’s wrong.” “F-Fred, Rocky and the gang went to capture Philip Clarke but everyone was wiped out! We’ve lost all contact with them!” the underling got up from the ground and said while trembling. “What?!” Fred was shocked and stood up from the sofa in astonishment! The few beauties around wanted to go over to comfort him but Fred flew into a temper and slapped them while shouting, “Get lost!” The beauties covered their red cheeks and ran out of the door in a hurry. Fred scowled and asked, “What’s going on? Rocky brought a dozen elites with him but you’re saying everyone was wiped out?” Rocky was one of Fred’s most capable followers. He had been with him for seven to eight years. He had never failed a mission. Any task entrusted to him would be done well. The guy shuddered and lowered hi
“Stop guessing. Let’s go in and find out. Fred is waiting for us.” A gray-haired middle-aged man wearing a gray suit walked straight into the clubhouse after speaking. The other four also followed him inside. Before long, they saw Fred sitting on the sofa in the most luxurious private room of the clubhouse. Beside him, a maid dressed in skimpy clothes was making tea on her knees. There were six cups in total. At their arrival, Fred motioned and said, “Sit down and have some tea.” The five people sat down, picked up the cups on the table, and gulped everything down in one go. The man with the beard was the first to ask, “Fred, what’s wrong? Why did you gather us in such a hurry?” Fred glanced at the bearded man. He had been with him for ten years. He was loyal and honest, just a little quick-tempered and irritable. Without delay, Fred took a sip of warm tea and said, “I’ve gathered all of you here today to go to a place with me later and deal with one person.” “Is it J
Madame Red pursed her lips in a smile and said, “If I’m hearing correctly, isn’t he just a young kid from out-of-town? Jowin Benson may be willing to become his lackey but I am not.” Fred nodded. His gaze shifted to Kris and the man in a suit. He asked, “Kris, Oscar, what do you think?” At this moment, Kris Bush and Oscar Gibbs exchanged a glance. Kris thought about it and said hesitantly, “Fred, I think we should consider this matter from a long-term perspective. If I’m not mistaken, Master Milo must have been the one who asked you to take action this time. If even Master Milo can’t handle this matter, do you think we can?” Fred scowled and said coldly, “In Flower City, there’s nothing I can’t do! Are you doubting my strength now?” While saying that, the corner of Fred's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. Kris Bush used to be Fred’s strategist. Before making any big or small decisions, he would discuss them with Kris. However, in recent years, Kris’ working style an
This was a plan three years in the making. Three years ago, Kris lost Fred’s trust and was gradually ostracized. The other three also had their own agenda and made arrangements of their own. Half an hour later. Fred and the other five people’s cars had already arrived at the entrance of the hotel where Philip was staying! Behind their cars were more than a dozen black SUVs! Bang, clatter! The car doors opened and dozens of ferocious-looking thugs armed with weapons jumped out of the cars. They stood on both sides of the road, bowing and respectfully waiting for the first few cars ahead to open the door. At the same time, a steady stream of thugs with baseball bats and other weapons also emerged from both sides of the long street to gather at the hotel’s entrance. These were Fred’s people. Of course, the manpower belonging to his five lieutenants also emerged from the surrounding streets. At a glance, the place was packed to the brim for a few hundred meters! It
Meanwhile, Fred and his five lieutenants had arrived at the door of Philip’s suite. Fred swaggered into the suite and saw Philip standing in front of the large French windows with his hands behind his back and a faint smile on his lips. He looked very young. Was he the Philip Clarke who Milo Dunley wanted to get rid of? He was too young! At the same time, he also saw Jowin Benson standing next to Philip. He said with a sneer, “Hehe, Jowin, there are talks outside that you’ve become someone’s lackey. I thought it was a rumor but it seems to be true. You really are a disgrace to the six lords of Flower City.” Fred was arrogant. He paid no attention to Philip at all, his focus completely on Jowin. In Fred’s perception, Philip was no more than a strong figure from out-of-town. Although he had some strength and means, he could never overpower the local forces of Flower City! He was still most apprehensive of Jowin Benson. What if the mastermind behind the scenes was Jowin?
After saying this, Fred sneered. “Young man, things are complicated in Flower City. Do you, an outsider, think you can cause such a commotion on someone else’s territory? Now that I’ve given you the conditions, you only have ten minutes to consider.” After saying that, Fred raised his hand and made a gesture. An underling behind him pulled out the long dagger from his back and threw it on the floor. A clatter resounded throughout the private room. Upon seeing this, Jowin was furious. He pointed at Fred and shouted, “Fred Able, are you not taking me seriously? Do you think that you’re the only one who has brought people here?” As he said that, dozens of vans and sedans swarmed toward the hotel that was already being surrounded by Fred’s people. Thugs with baseball bats and long daggers jumped down from the cars, surrounding Fred’s people! Instantly, the situation around the hotel changed! Two groups of people occupied two sides of the hotel, forming a confrontation! As f
Hearing this, Homer was obviously agitated. His eyes widened as he asked, “What did you say? Jowin Benson is there too?” “Yes, Master Benson led his men and confronted Fred’s men at the ground floor of the hotel. The situation at the scene is very uncertain right now,” the underling said breathlessly. Homer’s expression crumbled instantly. He clasped the back of his hands and turned to Milo as he said, “Milo, what do you think we should do now? Jowin is really determined to help Philip. Did we make the wrong move? If Jowin and Fred’s people really go up against each other, Flower City will definitely fall into a catastrophe.” This was the last thing Homer wanted to see. If that was the case, the situation would be out of control! Milo’s expression was cold, and he frowned. He looked at the subordinate and asked, “Get the car ready. Let’s go there too. I want to see with my own eyes what means this Philip Clarke has!” After that, they quickly left the villa and drove to the vi
Fred frowned as he turned his head and roared at the five people, “Are you deaf? Make a move!” “Fred, you’ve lost,” Oscar Gibbs said helplessly at this moment. These words made Fred’s heart tremble. With a face full of doubts, his gaze swept over the five people as he asked, “What do you mean I’ve lost? You betrayed me?” Kris stood out at this time and Fred was overjoyed. It seemed that Kris was still loyal to him. He thought about the previous rumors and felt that they must have been instigated by others. For this reason, Fred laughed and said, “Very well, Kris is still loyal to me! Kris, I was wrong in the past. Once this matter is over, you can come back.” However, just after Fred said this, Kris walked straight past him under his shocked gaze. Kris stood in front of Philip, bowing and saying, “Young Master Clarke, everyone has been arranged and is at your disposal.” Fred was dumbfounded! He could hardly believe his eyes! Kris actually called Philip ‘Young Master Cla
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
Philip was not afraid at all. He knew that someone would target him, but they were just losers. They might be influential, but they were nothing in his eyes. He did not want to cause trouble, but it did not mean he would let anyone insult him. Philip and the others quickly found a tavern that looked quite high-end. “This place looks interesting.” Philip found the various decorations quite novel and knew it would not be cheap. “I don’t think it’s so easy to find any important information here. Just look at the customers and you’ll know that we’ll spend a bomb,” Carlos marveled at the price tag. Adam looked at the menu curiously and was quickly surprised to see how expensive it was for a pot of tea. “A pot of tea costs thousands of crystals?” Adam almost had a meltdown at the price. “Look at the requirements stated on the menu. Each person has to order a minimum of a pot of tea. Anything less than that and we’re not welcomed.” Adam shook his head helplessly and suddenly
“It’ll take a long time for this little fox to become a human. I think you would've found your other half before that happened.” After exchanging some pleasantries, Philip bade farewell to the shopkeeper and left without further ado. They had to hurry up to find the person Adam was looking for.… Meanwhile, Luther hurried back home unhappily. He never dreamed that he would suffer such humiliation one day. As soon as he returned home, a man greeted him. It was none other than his father, who doted on his son. “What's wrong?” He was surprised to see his son ignoring him. His son was always flashy and arrogant, so his behavior was quite unusual. Luther was in no mood to pay attention to his father. He returned to the room angrily without saying a word. “Guard, what’s going on? Did someone bully my son?” Luther's father, Klein, glared at the guard unhappily, blaming the guard for everything. The guard kneeled in fear and felt sorry for himself. “The young sir was brows
The shopkeeper was clearly relieved by Philip’s remark and direct approach. However, he was also embarrassed by Philip’s bluntness. He smiled at Philip awkwardly as an apology. “Why don’t you recommend a pet for my buddy? It should be a stronger one, preferably a combat type!” Philip glanced at Carlos. He knew that Carlos was too embarrassed to take the initiative. Carlos looked at Philip gratefully, letting out a shy chuckle. The shopkeeper recommended several pets to them. Carlos was dazzled by the sight and wanted them all. Adam looked at the scene with satisfaction. Although he had a high position, he did not have a decent pet either. It was difficult to have a pet in their world. With a wave of his hand, Philip generously bought a pet for each of them. At this time, Philip heard a whine from somewhere. He turned his head curiously and looked for the source of the sound. “What’s that noise?” Philip looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, unable to find the source of
Luther was at a loss for how to react. If the rabbit could speak, it had to be stronger than his pet. Although his pet was very powerful, it was just an ordinary creature that could understand some basic instructions and handle normal interactions. A talking pet was simply to die for. “Wow, how can that monster pet speak? It’s a force to be reckoned with.” Luther was shocked to see a talking pet. It was enviable to have such a powerful monster. Before this, he mocked the rabbit for not having any ability, but the tide had turned. He was almost going crazy with jealousy and wished that he could take the rabbit for himself. “I didn't bring my pet along, so I’m afraid I can’t show it to you. Losers like you don’t deserve to see my pet.” Luther acted full of snobbery and disdain, but he clutched his purse awkwardly. In fact, not only did he bring his pet out, but he had also been ready to show it off at any time. After all, his pet was very powerful and could grow bigger or sma
Philip was annoyed by the guy’s ridicule and simply wanted to keep a distance from him. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t want to pay attention to a loser.” After saying this, Philip could not wait to leave this disgusting place. He felt sick at the sight of the guy’s ugly face. Carlos lost the mood to watch the fun. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave. However, that guy was used to getting his way. He did not plan to let them leave in one piece. Anyone who offended him had to die. “Surround him. Don’t let him run away!” The man glared at Philip with disdain, sure that Philip would die. Philip was quickly surrounded by a large group of people. They were angry that Philip dared to go against their boss. “Who are you? Where did you come from? How dare you disobey our boss? Didn't he tell you to stop?” a guard yelled angrily. He was clearly a competent lackey, loudly accusing Philip as if he was going to stand up for his boss. “What are you looking at?
