Philip felt a headache coming on and decided to ignore 17. There was something wrong with this girl's way of thinking! After almost two hours of travel, the armed helicopter carrying Philip and 17 finally stopped on the tarmac of a luxurious mountain resort somewhere in the Glenford hinterland. This was the residence of the Clarke family’s patriarch in Glenford. The mountain villa occupied the top of the entire mountain peak, which was flattened and reconstructed. However, it was still a structure that was surrounded by mountains and rivers. From a high altitude, the luxurious and vast white mountain villa looked just like a little white crane in a green forest. Armed personnel in green and black combat uniforms were patrolling the mountain resort at the moment. In the surrounding mountains and forests, many armed combatants with combat equipment lay in ambush! Within a radius of tens of miles, the sky and the ground were within a defensive strike. Any suspicious move
When Philip saw Roger’s state in the pool at this moment, he exploded with bone-chilling killing intent and coldness! The kinship that made blood thicker than water allowed Philip to deeply feel the pain experienced by Roger. It was something no ordinary people could bear! Moreover, his father looked much older than before! There was a sense of desolation! Instantly, Philip’s pupils were bloodshot as he roared, “Who did this?!” Fulton stood aside, looking at his lord in the pool. His eyes were boiling with anger as he said, “You can’t deal with this right now.” “I’m asking you who did it!” Like a slumbering dragon that just woke up, Philip grabbed Fulton’s collar with his eyes ablaze and his face full of anger! Fulton looked at Philip and repeated, “This isn’t something you can deal with right now. The lord will wake up soon. He has something to tell you.” Philip’s body was shaking from anger! After a while, he released Fulton. With a pair of scarlet eyes, he stared
Philip said helplessly, “Can’t you even hold a teapot now?” With that said, he snatched the teacup from Roger's hand, poured a cup of tea, and stuffed it into Roger's hand. Roger looked at this scene and said with a smile, “I'd rather never hold this teapot forever.” Philip rolled his eyes at him and asked sullenly, “Who caused the wounds on your body? The Nonagon, the Alliance, or the Gentleman Court? If you can’t take this lying down, tell me and I’ll take revenge for you.” Roger laughed and looked at Fulton, who was standing on one side. He said, “Look, my son still knows how to care for me.” Fulton tilted his head slightly and said nothing. Philip also looked at the two of them and said a little anxiously, “You don't want to tell me who did this?” Roger shook his head and said, “It's not time yet. You're not their opponent. This time, it's enough that you’ve returned to the island safely.” Philip got angry. He stood up abruptly, put his hands in his trouser pockets,
Wynn’s family background? His father knew about Wynn’s family background? Philip turned around, his face sullen. He stared at Roger and asked, “Do you know Wynn’s background?” Roger nodded, coughed lightly, and said, “I knew about it long ago. During the Lovelace family incident back then, I was at fault, so I want to make it up to her.” “Make amends?” Philip interrupted Roger with a sneer and said, “The Lovelace family is just another victim of those in power like you! When you convicted the Lovelace family, why did you sacrifice the only faction that was on the path of righteousness? When big shots like you do things, don't you think about the consequences? Don't you confirm the process and results of your actions?” The more Philip spoke, the louder his voice became. Finally, it almost turned into a roar of questioning. The expression on Roger’s face was complicated as he looked at the steaming cup of tea in front. After a while, he sighed and said, “There are very comp
That night, Philip led 13 members of the Shadow Guards to a famous bar in Glenford, the Buckingham Palace. Buckingham Palace Bar. Located in the most central and prosperous area of Glenford, this was the trendiest entertainment venue. Buckingham Palace was built in the shape of a white castle and decorated with opulence. It had a consumption standard that boasted to be the best in Glenford! Generally, only the rich and the dandy could come here to have fun. It was also Philip’s first time here. He looked at 17 next to him, who was wearing a red halter-neck dress and holding his arm. He asked, “Are you sure this is the place?” 17 nodded with a wink and said seductively, “Handsome, it’s here.” She looked very sexy tonight with a rose tattoo on her exposed back and her shoulder-length hair. It added to a man’s desire to conquer her. When she and Philip appeared at the entrance of Buckingham Palace, they drew many sideways glances. Philip had booked the largest private ro
The middle-aged woman was the bar’s small boss, and the sultry girls standing behind her were all gold diggers. Their usual work was to accompany the guests to drink. If the guests spent money, they could then go out to have fun. If a large private room only ordered drinks without girls, it was the same as a dog in a manger. Thus, the young girls could not hold back their mouths either. “Tsk, how dare they come here to have fun if they don’t have the money? Rubbish.” “Do you know what kind of place this is?” “This is not a country pub, hillbilly!” Philip was not the only person in the room. Brian and the other 12 Shadow Guards were there too! These people were extremely loyal. For this middle-aged woman to curse Philip in front of them, she was simply looking for death! All 12 of them stood up with a whoosh, each glaring angrily at the middle-aged woman. 17 was already touching the butterfly knife strapped to the side of her waist, staring at the middle-aged wo
Philip turned around and said to Carla, “Your name is Carla, right? Don't be so aggressive. We’re here to have fun and drink today, not to cause trouble. But if I understand correctly, we won't be allowed to drink here if we don’t ask for company, right?” Carla put her hands around her chest and said smugly, “That’s right! We’re a high-end bar here, and we don’t just accept anyone. If you don’t ask for company, you can go somewhere else to drink. It's none of our business.” Philip smiled and said, “That won’t do. I deliberately picked the best bar today and brought my buddies here to relax and unwind. The environment here is good, so we won't switch places. I'll take all the people you have here, but I do wonder what they can do.” The woman was startled and said doubtfully, “What did you say? You want all of them? Are you kidding? Do you have money?” Philip smiled faintly. “Suitcase.” A member next to him took a suitcase and handed it to Philip. Philip took the case and ope
Carla used to be an escort when she was young, but now that she was older, no guests would accept her. She could only be a leader behind the scenes. However, today, the young master in front was so elegant and tasteful to order her! Philip nodded and said, “Yes, let’s have fun together.” Carla was overjoyed and said, “Okay, thank you for giving me a chance! Just you wait. Although I’m old, my skills are not inferior to young people!” The group of women entered the room and Philip closed the door behind them. The 12 male Shadow Guards looked embarrassed and sat motionless on the sofa. Brian asked in puzzlement, “Young Master, with our strength, why should we be afraid of them?” Philip smiled mysteriously, shook his head, and said, “I'm not afraid. You'll know in a while.” The group of women stood in a row. Carla asked the guards who they wanted to choose but no one in the room said anything. Philip smiled and said, “They’re very conservative, so don’t make things diffi
“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
