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
Impossible! At this time, in the room, Fennel approached the remaining disciple. With a face full of anger, a tall disciple roared, “F*ck, I’m going to crush you!” After saying that, that guy's figure suddenly swelled and became bigger, just like the Hulk. His head reached the ceiling of this secret room. His body was full of bulging muscles like blocks of hard rocks! A stone giant! “Go to hell, you stupid pig!” The disciple threw a punch at Fennel. However, Fennel merely glanced at him in contempt before he raised his hand nonchalantly and caught the stone giant’s fist! Boom! The collision caused a muffled explosion, and a huge burst of pressure suddenly scattered in the secret room! The instruments and equipment outside quickly analyzed the monitoring data! The disciple power of the second zone! However, it was from the disciple they had sent over! The crowd outside was filled with shock and disbelief as they looked inside the secret room at the man who ha
“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
The Hexa Guild also claimed that they would kill anyone from the Celestial Palace. Although upset, no one dared to say anything in the face of the other party’s strength. It would be embarrassing if they could not live up to their claims if they retorted now. Moreover, the battle was a matter of life and death. Everyone was risking their lives. The Celestial Palace had the confidence to face the Hexa Guild now. They believed that they could turn the situation around with their strength or at least show them what they could do. There would be a battle between the two parties in the afternoon, which was the best time to show off their strength. The young lady of the Celestial Palace would be the one contending. After improving her strength, Vanna was full of confidence and vowed to give her opponent a fatal blow or at least let them know how powerful she was. Ronan was nervous. He was not worried about his wife but worried that the Hexa Guild would take things too far. Those
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
