At that critical moment, Philip raised his eyebrows and his hand. He grabbed a pen from the penholder on the counter and threw it at the man’s wrist! Puff! The pen pierced the man’s wrist and blood instantly gushed out! Bang! At the same time, a gunshot! A bullet deviated from the trajectory and aimed right at Vivi, who was on the side! “Watch out!” Philip’s eyes widened as he suddenly lunged over. He grabbed hold of Vivi, who was frozen stiff, and yanked her into his arms! The bullet brushed across Vivi’s cheek and left a streak of blood before it blasted into a wall. At that moment, Philip was hugging Vivi tightly. Vivi’s eyes widened, and her breathing became rapid. She raised her head, her eyes full of panic and admiration as she looked at the man’s resolute face in front of her. “P-Philip,” Vivi called out weakly. Philip looked at Vivi’s cheek and reached out to wipe it clean for her. He heaved a sigh of relief and scolded reproachfully, “Who told you to run
Paul was absolutely terrified. He crawled and knelt in front of the old man. He lowered his head and kept admitting his mistakes. “Mr. Kern, why are you here?” The old man snorted, stared coldly at the fat man in front of him, and asked, “Who are you?” Sweating profusely, Paul introduced himself. “M-My name is Paul Childe. I’m the president of Mekar Group in Orienta and the director of Mekar Group’s headquarters in Sendona. It's an honor to meet you.” Paul was panicking! This old man’s portrait was hung on the wall of fame in the group’s headquarters! As one of the five chairmen, this man owned 30% equity of Mekar Group! One word from him and his position as the director and regional president would go down the drain! Moreover, what made Paul panic was the respect that Mr. Kern had shown the woman just now. He called her ‘Miss’. Oh gosh! That young woman could actually make Mr. Kern call her ‘Miss’. This world had gone crazy! Vivi stepped out at this moment, l
As long as the young lady was happy, everything was fine. Old Kern practically watched Vivi as she grew up. Although he was a servant of the Joo family, he had regarded Vivi as his granddaughter since she was a child Therefore, Old Kern looked at Philip with a little more appreciation and asked, “Mr. Clarke, did you take care of these people?” Philip nodded lightly in response. Old Kern was even more satisfied. With such skills, he could protect the young lady in the future. Soon, the bodyguards brought by Old Kern dragged the howling Paul and his mother out. After that, with Old Kern’s help, Philip’s entry application was also quickly resolved. From the beginning to the end, Fennel, Theo, and the others did not make a move. Soon, they walked to the gates of the airport. However, just as everyone was about to walk out of the airport, three speeding black Cadillac SUVs screeched to a stop at the gates and blocked the way. Six guards with guns who were wearing black c
On the way, Philip and Fennel were each escorted into a modified Cadillac armored car and flanked by two fully armed SPEAR Bureau guards on both sides. If they made any movement, these people would shoot them on the spot! This was the order from their superiors! Philip sat upright with a bemused expression, his mind racing as he thought about who could be targeting him. As soon as he landed, he was taken away by the SPEAR Bureau. No matter what, someone must be behind this. “Which unit do you belong to? Who is your superior?” Philip asked. The two guards escorting Philip did not answer his questions. The man in the front passenger seat, wearing a black suit with black sunglasses, said with a laugh, “You'll know when you arrive, Mr. Clarke. Enjoy your final moments.” “Do you know me?” Philip asked. He actually knew the last name Clarke. The man just laughed without another word. On Fennel’s side, he also tried to dig for information but it was to no avail. This m
She looked at Old Kern with bewildered eyes and said, “Old Kern, think of something quickly. Why are Philip and the rest arrested? How could they do this to them without reason?” Old Kern was also very helpless and said with a sigh, “Miss, I’ve already asked about this matter and used all my contacts in Sendona to get you released. Your friends are people targeted by the SPEAR Bureau and can’t be released for the time being. It’s said that they need to go through a detailed investigation.” “What’s there to investigate? We just entered this country and haven’t done anything. I don’t care. You must find someone to get them out!” Vivi stomped her feet angrily. Old Kern was helpless and could only continue making calls. However, everyone who received Old Kern’s call advised him not to interfere and ended the call. Thus, this entire case seemed shrouded in mystery. Back to Philip’s side. At this moment, he was sitting in a brightly lit chamber. The hood on his head was taken
Immediately, someone presented the data about Fennel, but the content was very brief. The corners of Rikes' eyes turned cold as he asked, “Is there no other information?” The subordinate behind him shook his head and said, “No.” Rikes looked at the blonde woman and asked, “Any monitoring data?” The blonde woman shook her head as well and said, “No. He doesn’t seem to have any disciple energy fluctuations in him. He’s just like a normal person.” “A normal person?” Rikes sneered and said, “Impossible. Get a few people to go in and play with him.” After that, someone arranged for three tattooed prisoners in orange vests to enter the secret room where Fennel was. The three prisoners were all burly guys and half a head taller than Fennel. They were more than twice as brawny as him. As soon as they entered the chamber, they approached Fennel, who was sitting down, with ill intentions. The bald guy in the lead approached Fennel arrogantly and said with a sneer, “Hey, stupi
The other party’s back crashed into the black glass wall! Crack! The entire black glass wall cracked as if it was going to shatter. The burly man fell to the ground and rolled around in pain. With just that kick, he felt that several ribs were broken. When the remaining burly man saw that both his buddies had fallen, he panicked and was frightened. He put on a fighting stance and looked around. Swish! Suddenly, he drew a dagger from his waist, held it in his hand, and yelled, “F*ck! Go to hell!” Seeing the dagger stabbing toward his chest, Fennel reached out with two fingers. Clang! With his two fingers, he clamped the incoming dagger. The burly foreigner was completely shocked! He actually clamped the dagger with two fingers? This was horrifying! Was he still human? Was this martial arts? Immediately after, in the next second, Fennel moved his finger and broke the dagger crisply. At the same time, he kicked the burly man in the stomach, sending him fl
Soon, the female envoy followed Rikes to the glass wall where Philip was. Talina looked at Philip who was sitting in the secret room with an indifferent expression and asked Rikes, “His details.” Rikes quickly and respectfully took out the information about Philip. He said, “His name is Philip Clarke from Orienta. According to the investigation, he’s the son-in-law of a small family in Riverdale, the Johnston family. His wife, Wynn Johnston, owns a pharmaceutical company called Beacon Group. The company has recently been planning to develop a branch in our country. He also has two kids. According to the current monitoring data, he should possess the strength of a disciple in the third zone.” Talina looked at the information in her hands and asked with a frown, “Is that all? Nothing else?” Rikes shook his head and said, “My lord, this is all the information we could find out about him so far.” Talina nodded and put the document down. She crossed her arms and looked at Philip s
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
“The truth is that I have a favor to ask of you, but I’m afraid of overstepping the line, so…” The old monk knew that his action was inappropriate, so he was conflicted and wondered how he should ask for Philip’s help. Philip was interested upon hearing that the old monk needed a favor. He wanted to know what stumped him. With his strength and status, the old monk should be omnipotent. “Feel free to speak your mind. If I can handle it, I don’t mind lending a helping hand.” Philip would not help for no reason. If the other party was willing to pay the price, he would not refuse. The old monk was excited to hear Philip’s agreement. “I have the location of a secret realm. I tried to enter it once, but the secret realm told me that I couldn’t enter it,” the old monk said with regret. “There should be a lot of good things in this secret realm, so I’m very disappointed that I can't enter and explore it. I was told that only people from other worlds could enter this secret realm.
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
