Old Cain allowed Philip to listen for half a minute before he put the phone back to his ear and said, “Did you hear that? They’re quite happy to curse you.” “Who are you and what do you want?” Philip roared angrily. “I want you to come over and play a game. I’ll give you ten minutes to get to the company’s meeting room. Otherwise, you can just wait and see your wife being played by us. Hahaha, I like your wife very much. She’s a feisty one.” Old Cain ended the call and casually tossed the phone aside. “The ten-minute countdown starts now. You’d better hope that the punk will arrive on time, but the traffic today is quite bad. Maybe he’ll be a few hours late.” Hearing Old Cain’s words, Martin and the others trembled more violently. A group of people with bruised noses and swollen faces shrank together and trembled. They looked like a nest of newly born quails shivering in the cold wind. Wynn lowered her head and said nothing. She hoped that Philip would arrive, but at the sa
A gang of thugs stared at Philip intently, feeling extremely angry at the way Philip made his arrogant appearance. Old Cain’s cheek twitched, causing the centipede-like scar on his face to wiggle back and forth as if it was about to eat people. “How gutsy of you. Your wife's life is in our hands and you still dare to mess around.” “Your lives are in my hands,” Philip said coldly as he walked toward Old Cain. “Hold it right there! Take one more step and I’ll kill your wife!” A thug held a steel pipe and pointed at Wynn’s head. Wynn smiled as she looked at Philip, her tears already blurring her vision. The fact that Philip could come was the most gratifying thing for Wynn. After shooting Wynn a reassuring look, Philip steadily stopped in his tracks. Old Cain looked at Philip with a sneer and said disdainfully, “You have guts but not brains.” The corners of Philip's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at Old Cain with a subtle smile. Seeing Philip’s expression, Old
Fighting was a physically demanding exercise. Although one often did not feel tired in a state of tension, that was only the mental state. Often, many people would suddenly break down while fighting, simply because their physical strength could not keep up. When their physical energy was severely depleted, even if the spirit was excited, the body would say no. At this moment, Philip was in a state of unrestrained energy consumption, so Old Cain’s subordinates judged that Philip’s physical strength would not last long. A true expert would control their pace and save their physical strength to the greatest extent to prolong the fight. Old Cain naturally understood the subordinates’ meaning, but looking at Philip getting more vigorous the longer he fought, he could not help but feel that perhaps this guy in front of him was not normal. It was all because of the look in Philip’s eyes just now. That gaze made an indescribable feeling well in his heart. “It’s better to be safe th
“Why not?” Philip said nonchalantly. The thugs had all been incapacitated, and the only opponents left were Old Cain and his two subordinates. Although the auras exuded from those three were not weak, Philip did not take them seriously at all. If it really came down to a fight, Philip was sure that they would not last more than a second. The only thing he needed to watch out for was to ensure that his supernatural ability was not exposed in this situation. The two subordinates behind Old Cain had already taken two steps forward and were standing in front of him, forming a triangle. This was the starting position of the Triangle Formation that Old Cain and his two subordinates had practiced for a long time since they started training in the Nonagon. After honing their skills for so long, the cooperation between the three could be said to have reached a perfect state. However, they had never used the Triangle Formation in actual combat. It was not that they did not want to
Crack! The sound of broken bones was heard. Feeling the sharp pain in his chest, Old Cain felt that several of his ribs must have been broken by Philip. The attacks from Old Cain’s two subordinates completely fell short. As Philip pinned Old Cain against the wall and bludgeoned him, the two guy’s eyelids twitched wildly. Was this guy still an ordinary person? Old Cain’s martial art was not practiced in vain. His body was as solid as a man of steel, but he still spat out mouthfuls of blood upon getting beaten up by Philip against the wall. Chills gushed from the soles of their feet straight to their brains. Old Cain’s two subordinates looked at each other and hesitated for a while before deciding to save Old Cain. However, Old Cain had been beaten to a pulp by Philip at this moment and was placed on a chair casually by Philip. “Sit down and watch as I take care of them nice and tidy,” Philip said with a smile. Old Cain’s mouth kept gushing with blood. There was an expre
After getting Wynn settled, Philip returned to the conference room and stood in front of Old Cain, whose head drooped to his chest. Old Cain no longer had the same imposing appearance as before. He looked like he was going to die at any moment. Philip grabbed Old Cain's hair and yanked his head up. Old Cain opened his eyelids weakly and looked up at Philip, his heart filled with endless regret. “Talk.” The simple word that came out of Philip's mouth seemed to carry endless pressure. Old Cain’s mind was quite clear at this time. He knew that if he continued to be obstinate, he would probably meet his doom at any minute. “I-It’s Mr. Juan Parker. He asked us to kidnap the two of you and send you to Dragon Club. The price for the job is ten million.” “Juan Parker!” A murderous intent flashed in Philip’s eyes. Philip thought that Juan would not mess with him again and no longer had the intention of killing him. However, Juan’s actions now gave Philip the idea of getting
“Who do you think you are?! You're just a son-in-law of my Johnston family! Philip, don't think that just because you have some status and power, you can ignore us! Let me tell you, I'm not someone you can easily mess with! I admit that in the past, we couldn't fight you! But now, I have a big boss behind me! I’m afraid someone like you isn’t good enough anymore!” Martin roared and vented all his pent-up anger. Refreshing! After roaring out all the grievances he had suffered due to Philip in the past, Martin felt refreshed. Philip laughed lightly. “What? With a big boss supporting you from behind, you aren’t afraid of me anymore? Martin Johnston, I didn't expect you to become arrogant after not seeing you for a month.” Looking at Philip, Liam could not help his anger and roared. “You're still pretending! We've all figured out your identity! You’re just a bankrupt young master from the Clarke family. You invested in Buffer abroad and made some money by investing in stocks. Wha
Wynn watched Martin and the others leave. She took Philip’s hand, looked at him worriedly, and asked, “Do you know who did it? Can you handle it?” “I do, and I will.” Philip said lightly, “There’s nothing that can't be handled. Don't forget your husband's identity.” “Then you must be careful. The company has already become like this. I have to take care of the aftermath and at least get the company back to its normal operation.” Wynn was still concerned about the company's business. If Wynn washed her hands off this matter at this time, the entire company would have to shut down all operations. It would cause huge damage to the company's business. Wynn had put a lot of effort into bringing the company from the brink of bankruptcy to where it was today. Naturally, she did not want her efforts to go down the drain. Philip nodded lightly. “I’ll be going, then. Take your time in cleaning up the company. There’s no rush.” “Okay, I know. I’ll wait for you to come back.” Wynn
“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
“What's going on? What drug did he take? It’s so powerful!” Jeff exclaimed in horror. All his attacks were ineffective, so what about Hogster’s attacks? At this time, Hogster attacked Jeff. His invincible mode would only last a few minutes. He had to seize the opportunity to take Jeff down. However, Hogster was not worried at all. In his opinion, dealing with Jeff was just a matter of seconds. “Go to hell!” Hogster made his move. He launched a killing move without holding back at all. Jeff was no match for Hogster at all. He was sent flying and fell to the ground miserably. Everyone looked at him with pity. Jeff spat a mouthful of blood and looked at Hogster in horror. Hogster had become so strong that he was no match for him at all. “Hehe, is that all you can take?” Hogster sneered. He was about to kill Jeff when the latter took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it. It was the same pill he had taken earlier. Sure enough, Jeff was back to normal after taking
“Wow, I feel so good as if I just had a massage.” Jeff praised Philip in his mind. After taking the pill, he recovered instantly. Even the ailments he had been suffering from in the past were healed. He was in such good shape that he could face Hogster with no problem. He even felt that he could resist Hogster’s attack this time. Philip nodded. Jeff was quite good. He had thought that Jeff was already defeated and would not even be able to move. However, Jeff forced himself to take out a pill and swallowed it. “He’s quite good at persevering and has a bright future. You can consider grooming him,” Philip said to Jamie. Jamie was surprised to hear such a high assessment from Philip. Jamie attached great importance to Philip's suggestion. Since Philip said so, he would develop Jeff properly. “Aren’t you very full of yourself? Keep going.” Jeff rushed forward and started beating Hogster up. Hogster was already dying and could not put up a fight at all. “Stop!” Hogste
The Hexa Guild had lost the earlier match, so Hogster was upset about it. Their guild should be undefeatable. They should have made a name for themselves by now, but everything was ruined. Although Hogster did not know why the Celestial Palace was so powerful, he had a feeling that they were cheating. “I’m the pride of the Hexa Guild while you’re just an ordinary member. Don't even think about resisting me,” Hogster said calmly, clearly looking down on Jeff. Of course, Jeff was not to be outdone. “My favorite hobby is to beat someone while they're down. Your guild's reputation is so bad anyway. Why bother holding on to it?” His remark struck the Hexa Guild’s sore spot, and all the members scowled at him. Indeed, the Hexa Guild had a very bad reputation. They could only recruit ordinary people who could not join other guilds but yearned to practice. “Hehe, cut the crap. We’ll know the outcome after a fight!” After saying this, Hogster charged at Jeff with a weapon in han
It would do the Hexa Guild no good to keep Vanna alive, so they would not allow it to happen. Although the members of the Hexa Guild were angry, they quickly cheered up. There would be several matches with the Celestial Palace to go. They could not lose their fighting spirit because of this trivial matter. “Let’s see how powerful the Celestial Palace is. I refuse to believe that we’re no match for them.” Hogster decided to take the stage because the upcoming opponent was just an ordinary member of the Celestial Palace. They were not very strong. In his opinion, an ordinary member could not be very strong. It would be easy to win this match, and it would save him a lot of trouble too. It would be bad if he faced a dark horse like the previous match. The hooded man saw the performance of the Celestial Palace and was surprised by their extraordinary strength. However, he did not notice anything unusual. He simply thought that it was their usual strength. Since they were so str
“This is interesting.” The hooded man glanced at the people discussing this matter and felt expectant. He could not wait to meet Philip. On the other hand, Philip was watching the competition and had no idea what was going on. “Oh, I see, you’re the young lady of the Celestial Palace. I thought you were very powerful, but this is all there is to you.” Vanna’s opponent was an ugly woman who was very upset with her beautiful appearance. Vanna looked at her mockingly. “The outcome has yet to be determined. I don’t think you’re any better either.” After saying this, Vanna looked at the other party, waiting for her to make the first move. The ugly woman was furious at Vanna’s provocation. “Very well. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, let me show you what I’m capable of!” After saying this, she attacked Vanna as if she were ready to get rid of her. She had received an order from the guild leader to deal with Vanna properly. The Hexa Guild had initially planned to qu
