“What about Chloe Sommerset? Have you cleared things up?” Ethan asked again with a nosy look on his face. Philip frowned. It had been a while since he saw Chloe. He wondered what she was doing recently and if she was well. He turned his head, leaned on Ethan to walk out of the secret chamber one step at a time, and said, “You talk too much. I’ll get Uncle Tim to propose marriage to the Joo family later!” Ethan wanted to cry when he heard that and quickly admitted his mistake, “Okay, I’ll shut up.” However, before the two brothers had gotten far, more than a dozen heavily armed men in combat uniforms came rushing along this corridor! Clang! In front of the brothers, a row of men in battle uniforms dropped their anti-riot shields to the ground! Behind them were three rows of heavily armed soldiers in uniforms and helmets. They were either standing or crouching with guns in their hands! Hal Weiss stood behind these people. With a grim expression on his face, he said angril
George almost fell off from his director’s chair in fright. He quickly asked with a smile, “Miss Johnston, how may I help you? Did something happen to Mr. Clarke?” Wynn nodded and said anxiously, “Yes, Philip has been taken away by some people in combat uniforms ten minutes ago. I’m worried about his safety, so I called you. Mr. Thomas, do you have a way to find out who took my husband away? No matter what the other party demands, I’ll fulfill it as long as they don’t hurt my husband.” While saying that, Wynn was already crying from distress. George’s mind was buzzing loudly now! “What? Young Master has been taken away? Who’s the other party?” George slapped his desk and stood up angrily. “Y-Young Master?” Wynn was stunned speechless and asked, “Mr. Thomas, what did you just say?” At this moment, George realized he had a slip of the tongue. He quickly thought of an excuse to brush it off and said, “Oh, you must have misheard me. I was asking who took Mr. Clarke away. Do y
At this moment, George was full of anger as he sat in the chairman's office of his newly established group building. Not long after, the secretary walked in. “Mr. Thomas, the president of Harper Group from aboard, Mr. Chris, has arrived at our group's conference room and has been waiting for ten minutes. Do you want to go down and meet him first?” the secretary asked. George was obviously not in the mood to entertain the president of Harper Group now. He waved his hand and said coldly, “Let him wait!” The secretary did not know why the chairman was suddenly so angry, but the status and power of this group abroad were not that simple. In particular, President Chris was a member of the 12 Sacred Halls of the West in Country M. His position was indeed not low. It might be a little inappropriate to leave someone like him waiting. Thus, the female secretary cautiously asked, “Mr. Thomas, how long should he wait? He came here this time with a letter of intent for cooperation. He ha
Garth Santos was flustered as well. Although he was almost 60 years old, when he heard that voice, he still immediately put the receiver to his ear and said respectfully, “Supreme Williams, what are your orders?” Phew! After saying this, Garth gasped inwardly. The supreme! Although Supreme Williams was only 40, his accomplishments and feats were already enough to shake the world—past and present! No one could rock his title as the first supreme in the territory! However, why was Supreme Williams calling him so suddenly? Could it be that something big had happened in Southridge or Charbury? “Garth Santos, one of my Dragon Warriors has been taken away by someone from the Internal Combat Division Investigation Bureau under your jurisdiction. You need to give me an explanation,” Reed Williams said coldly. Garth was taken aback and immediately felt his scalp tingling! Someone under his jurisdiction actually captured a Dragon Warrior established by Supreme Williams? How
Mac almost went crazy. What the hell was this bunch of people doing? How dare they touch someone from the Dragon Warriors? Was that not fooling around in the lion’s den? “Mr. Santos, don't worry. I’ll deal with this matter immediately. Please wait for my call!” After a few words from Mac, Garth hung up angrily. Mac was now full of cold sweat. He immediately said to his guard, “Connect me to Hal Weiss at once. I want to know what that kid has been up to!” Mac was about to explode with anger! District 12 of the Internal Combat Division Investigation Bureau was under the responsibility of his capable subordinate, Hal Weiss! He had battle honors at such a young age and was promoted to the rank of junior commander! Soon, the call was connected. Mac’s face was cold and his tone was angry as he roared, “Hal Weiss, who the hell did you arrest just now? Do you know how much trouble you've caused?” At this moment, Hal was confronting Ethan Clarke in the dim corridor. When he sudd
“Are things settled?” Garth asked coldly. Mac breathed heavily and said, “Mr. Santos, the subordinates are being a little disobedient. I’m going there in person. Don't worry, I’ll take care of it!” Hearing that, Garth frowned and said, “Okay, give me the address. I’ll handle it personally.” Instantly, Mac was dumbfounded! The grand commander wanted to deal with it personally! This was getting serious! How many grand commanders were there in the country? Which one of them was not a hero who had shed blood on the battlefield and carved a name in history? Which one of them had not shed their blood bravely for the country? In other words, Mr. Santos was a living legend! Mac dared not say anything. He could only recite the address dutifully before saying to the guard next to him, “Bring some people to Songfield immediately without a moment’s delay!” “Yes!” Urgent mobilization order! To Songfield at top speed! … Back to Ethan’s side. With an indifferent face, his
At Hal’s command, all the soldiers loaded their weapons! By this time, the discomfort in Philip’s body had also dissipated. He slowly straightened his back, got up, and walked behind Ethan. He gently patted his shoulder and said, “I’ll do it.” Seeing that his cousin seemed to have recovered, Ethan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “It’s okay, I can deal with these small potatoes with one hand.” Philip did not refute but smiled and said, “You’re still with the Dragon Warriors and under the teacher’s command. There are some things that you can't intervene in. It won’t be good for your future development. I’ll take care of it.” With that said, Philip did not care if Ethan agreed but stood in front of him directly. With a firm gaze, he looked at Hal coldly and asked, “I have two questions for you. Who instigated you?” Hal did not hide the information and replied directly, “Miss Una.” “Who’s Miss Una?” Philip asked. “She’s not someone you can inquire about. If y
At this moment, he was livid! His station was not far from Songfield. They drove here at full speed and arrived in slightly more than ten minutes. Hal glanced at Philip coldly before stopping his next movement. Turning around, he saluted Mac who approached him. “Supreme Commander Gildon…” Boom! Mac passed through the vicious group of prisoners, came up to Hal, and kicked him fiercely in the stomach! “How dare you disobey my order?!” Mac roared with anger. Then, he looked at the surroundings and said, “And what the hell is going on here? Loaded weapons? Who are you going to kill?” Hal rubbed his stomach and jumped up from the ground. He stood in front of Mac coldly, saying righteously and solemnly, “Supreme Commander Gildon, this is Miss Una’s order!” Seeing Hal’s indignation, Mac was furious. With a cold snort, he sternly reprimanded, “So what if it’s Miss Una? Do you know who you've arrested?” Hal frowned and said, “No matter who it is, as long as they’re caught, the
“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
