Hearing this sudden voice, Vic pushed his glasses up his nose bridge as a faint smile appeared in the corner of his eyes. He looked at Philip. Not only him, but all the foreigners in the hall also focused their attention on Philip and his gang. It was this Eastern man again. What did he mean by asking this question? Vic smiled and said, “Sir, do you have doubts about our essence of life no. 4?” Philip's eyes drooped slightly as he said, “As far as I know, the research on the essence of life is currently at no. 3. Product no. 4 is still unstable. By trading the test product no. 4 in such a hurry, isn’t it a little too irresponsible?” Vic said sternly, “Sir, the essence of life no. 4 has been developed successfully. This is an internal secret not made known to the public, so we don’t blame you for doubting it. However, I can tell you with certainty that the essence of life no. 4 has been certified by our relevant institutions and can be guaranteed.” “What guarantee? Since i
After saying that, Vic took out a red reagent syringe and said, “The person who gets the essence of life no. 4 will be injected with this red potion on the spot. Don't worry, it's non-toxic and harmless. It’s just a stimulant that needs to be injected every once in a while. As long as the boss’ instructions are obeyed, you can live a healthy life.” This was the same as becoming a puppet under someone’s control. Most of the people at the scene, however, were attracted by the essence of life no. 4 that could delay aging for 15 years. Many people scrambled for the injection, wanting to become the puppet of the boss behind Vic. However, some people began to back off and become cautious. At this time, Vic turned to look at Philip and said, “Sir, do you still want to participate?” Philip said calmly, “No need. Tonight, no one can make a deal with you except me.” At those words, Vic's face trembled in puzzlement. Some of the foreigners also could not figure out his meaning.
Philip frowned and said to Fennel beside him, “That’s enough. I’ll go and have a look on my own.” Fennel also frowned and said, “Be careful.” Philip nodded and turned to follow Vic out of the inner hall into the innermost part of Kestor Manor. Here, the security was extremely tight. A heavily armed guard could be seen every two meters apart. Moreover, the entire area was heavily defended, surrounded by high walls with machine guns and radar networks. Philip followed Vic to a magnificent suite that was decorated very lavishly. Many electronic display screens were found in the suite which displayed all corners of the manor, including the actions of everyone in the inner hall. In the middle of the suite, behind the expensive desk by the French windows, a fat middle-aged man in dark red plaid pajamas sat in a chair smoking a cigar. His eyes were indifferent as he looked at Philip and Vic walking through the door. “Boss, the guest is here,” Vic said respectfully to the fat
Marvin shook his head and said, “Mr. Clarke, Max is my big boss. Even I don’t have the right to see him, so how could you? Besides, in Kestor Manor, you can just ask me if you need to know anything. Come, let’s sit and talk.” Marvin said and invited Philip to take a seat. Philip was unmoved and did not sit down. He just said lightly, “There’s no need for me to sit. I only have three questions. I hope you can answer me truthfully.” Marvin smiled, and his greasy face glowed with an eerie light. He turned around, walked to the expensive sofa, and sat down. The two women also sat beside him and massaged his shoulders. Marvin laughed and gestured with his hand. “Mr. Clarke, I’m afraid it’s not within the order of things to ask me three questions upfront. Aren’t you Easterners most particular about these so-called rules?” Philip’s eyes were cold and stern as he glanced at the smiling Marvin while observing the layout of the suite. Then, he asked, “What conditions do you have, t
Philip was silent for a moment before he looked at Marvin and said, “Do you have other conditions?” Marvin smiled and said, “I do, and I’m sure you can do it.” “What is it?” Philip asked. Marvin said, “You can take the essence of life in the inner hall and ignore the other reagent, but you must promise me one thing.” Philip said solemnly, “I won’t do anything to betray my country. If you want me to give you any information, there’s no deal.” Marvin smiled and said, “You’ve misunderstood, Mr. Clarke. What I want to say is that if I get into trouble one day in the future, I hope you can lend me a helping hand.” Hearing this, Philip frowned and said, “Just this?” Marvin said, “Yes.” Philip thought about it and agreed. Then, Marvin’s fat body relaxed slightly. He sat back down on the sofa, then motioned to Philip and said, “Mr. Clarke, if you have any questions, you can ask them now.” Philip asked, “I need to know the information about those two women and the organizati
After half a beat, Marvin said, “I really must applaud your wisdom.” With that said, he got up and walked to his desk. He used the key to open the bottom cabinet and took out a list from it. He handed it to Philip and said, “Mr. Clarke, the list is here. I’m just letting you have a look at it. I won’t get involved in anything else.” Of course, Philip knew that Marvin wanted nothing to do with this. Without further ado, Philip quickly flipped through the list. He saw Steven's name, as well as the names of Louis XXVI and Alice Elizabeth. Then, he saw the names of Susan Stark and Lindy Purcell. However, their identity descriptions and background had been left blank! Philip’s face darkened instantly. Marvin glanced over and seemed to notice Philip’s dejection. After thinking about it, he pretended to act nonchalantly and reminded, “Mr. Clarke, don’t just look at that column. You should look at the last column.” Hearing this, Philip turned his gaze to the last column. Mar
Philip glared at Steven and asked coldly, “You already knew she was in Dunham?” Steven smiled and said, “Don't be angry, Mr. Clarke. I just got the information too. The person you’re looking for did appear in the underground trading market in Dunham, but she left in a hurry. My people got some shots of her but they were thrown off the trail when they tried to chase after the two women.” With that said, Steven took out his phone and pulled up the photos sent by his subordinates. Philip glanced through the photos. There was a black limousine and two women getting down from the car. A charming woman took the lead, and Philip confirmed at first glance that it was Margot Pearson! Behind her was a woman in a mask. She was covered from top to toe and was well-protected by the bodyguards. However, she seemed to notice something and glanced at the hidden camera. With that look, Philip recognized her at first glance! Hannah Clarke! It was definitely Hannah! Steven looked at Phi
Philip and Moses stepped to one side. Philip said coldly, “What is it? Just spit it out. I don’t think I have much to do with your Dunley family anyway.” Moses smiled and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, you’re still as haughty as ever. I’ll cut to the chase, then. My uncle’s source of kingship should be in your body now, right?” “Spencer Dunley?” Philip frowned. Moses shrugged and said with a smile, “Young Patriarch Clarke, don’t be nervous. I’m not denouncing you or asking for anything on behalf of my fourth uncle. He just told me to pass you a message.” “What is it?” Philip asked. Moses sighed and said, “Uncle Spencer wants to tell you not to be obsessed with the power or spiritual enhancement brought by the source of kingship. Once you get addicted to it, it’s hard to get out. The power of kingship is a conspiracy and a chess game. Uncle Spencer hopes that you can see through the core and essence of the source of kingship and break this game. External forces, after all, a
“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
