It was raining cats and dogs.A clap of thunder rumbled across the sky.There was an austere atmosphere inside the courtyard house. The two forces were in a standoff.Jay lifted his head to look in the direction of the sound. Then, he saw a young man under the umbrella. There was a cigarette dangling from his lips and blood on his shirt. He was also wrapped up in bandages.However, this young man’s eyes were like the shooting star across the sky. There was a very strong aura and deterrent force in them.The two forces were staring each other down.There was a veranda between them and a bronze cauldron.The rain splattered into the bronze cauldron and overflowed. It sounded as if someone was frying beans. It was extremely loud.Jay’s face was gloomy. He stared at the uninvited guest who appeared in his courtyard out of nowhere and said frigidly, “Who are you? How dare you barge into my courtyard? You’re pretty ballsy.”Jay was not an idiot. These uninvited guests just barged in
“Are you scared?”Philip asked all of sudden.Next to him, Theo was the first one to answer him, “I strive for the utmost for Mr. Clarke!”“I will strive for the utmost for Mr. Clarke!”In an instant, the fighters in black suits behind Philip all yelled at the same time.Philip smiled and threw away his cigarette butt. It landed into the bronze cauldron.Crash!A sudden clap of thunder!Jay roared, “Kill them!”He did not have time to idle talk with Theo and his gang. His venues were in trouble, he had to go take a look.After that, Jay grabbed his woman and turned around. He was about to leave from the backdoor of the middle hall.There were more than 100 men inside and outside. Even if Theo was so powerful and had his men waiting outside, it would still be futile.Jay was not bothered by this. It was just a few lives.If they were to start something, he would not mind charging to Riverdale and taking over Theo’s territories.When the time came, with the South River Dist
Jay snorted and said, “You brassy kid, do you know who’s behind the Andersons?”The Andersons.That was the number one family in the South River District!They had more than ten billion in assets!The person in charge of the Andersons, Greg Anderson, knew a lot of the upper management of South River S. His connections and status were beyond one’s imagination.Plus, a huge family was supporting the Andersons.Jay was unworthy to look up to such a huge family.They were too powerful!“No matter who’s behind the Andersons, I’ll destroy them.”Philip said calmly, “Don’t forget how your fraternity crumbled in a matter of seconds when it got into my hands. When Jay heard this, his body shook.Exactly!In the face of this young man, the fraternity crumbled in seconds!Jay’s eyes widened at this. He glared at Philip angrily and yelled, “Who are you? Who the hell are you?”He had been in this field for more than 20 years and finally became the monopoly he was today. However, a na
Stab!The dagger stabbed right into Noah’s shoulder. With a crack, it broke his scapula!Then, Philip started a video call and recorded this to Greg.“Ah! Dad, save me! Dad!”Greg stood in the gigantic hall of the villa and watched as his son screamed while covered in blood. His entire body was tense as he yelled angrily, “Stop it! What do you want?”After he said that, Vivian, who had been standing there quietly for some time, said coldly, “Greg, don’t forget Madam Wallis’ order.”Greg was on the brink of an eruption. However, when he heard the words ‘Madam Wallis’, he had to control his anger. He looked at the video and said in a deep voice, “I’ll give you one billion. Let my son go and leave the South River District with your people. The Andersons will never step foot into Riverdale and all of our properties in Riverdale will also belong to you!”That was Greg’s condition, but at the same time, it was also Madam Wallis’ order.He was slicing his flesh.This would cost at le
Greg walked out of the villa. He came to the entrance while being heavily protected by his fighters.The smell of rain and soil lingered in the air.The entire Anderson family’s villa was somber. Its atmosphere was extremely intense.Greg looked at the 100 plus people behind Philip. They were standing in an orderly fashion and did not look like people who were hired randomly.However, Greg was not afraid. This was the South River District. This was his territory!Plus, this was the Andersons’ villa. It was the symbol of the entire South River District.The entire villa was built on a hill. There was another symbolic building in the villa, the Andersons’ shrine.At nighttime, the lights of the shrine could be seen from tens of miles away!Even normal civilians would stop and mourn for a few seconds when they passed by the Andersons’ shrine. That was their way of paying respect to the Anderson family.The reason was that the Anderson family was the savior of the South River Dist
When Philip said that, he lifted his eyebrow and looked at Greg opposite him.Everyone understood what Philip meant. He wanted to get back at Greg in the Andersons’ villa!Greg’s face turned red and purple from holding himself back. His son was in Philip’s hands, so he did not dare to be impulsive.“Noah, no!”Greg roared.Woosh!However, in the next second, a dagger appeared in Philip’s hand.Stab!He lifted the dagger and dropped it onto the ground next to Noah’s ear.In a blink of an eye, one of Noah’s ears was cut off.“Ah!”A blood-curdling scream. Noah clutched his bloody ear and got up challengingly without a second thought. He knelt in front of Philip and kept on kowtowing. He began to plead. “Please don’t kill me. Don’t kill me. I’m kowtowing to you…”Thud, thud, thud!The sounds of his forehead against the ground hammered on everyone’s hearts. Especially when it got into the ears of Greg and the 100 plus fighters who were working for the Anderson family. They sou
It happened while everyone was in a state of shock.Boom!Another loud noise.The villa behind Greg was razed to the ground, and it fell into a sea of flames!The impact of this explosion threw everyone backward.At that moment, half of Greg’s men were injured by the impact of the explosion.Some of them even became ashes as they were standing too close to the villa.However, they deserved this. They were all fugitives. Their dreadful crimes would still rankle even after they were dead.Greg and his men were completely stunned.This was happening too suddenly. Plus, the sea of flames was still sending shockwaves into their hearts.This was too shocking!Too horrifying!At the same time, there was a low rumble coming from the sky among the heavy smoke. It came from afar and slowly got closer. Five military helicopters sped toward the air above the Andersons’ villa.Then, they dove down with the head of the helicopter pointing downward and circled a few times above the villa
“Hehe, I’ll obey whether you want to kill me or skin me alive. There’s no need to humiliate me.”Greg chuckled coldly. He looked as if he was not afraid of death.On his side, Noah was like a dog. He crawled in front of Philip and kowtowed. He begged Philip. “Master Clarke, Master Clarke, please let me go. I was wrong. I’m already like this, I’m already a useless man. Please spare me. I’m willing to work for you.”“Noah!”Looking at Noah being craven and cowardly, a macho man like Greg started sobbing in regret.He could never imagine his son being so cowardly.The Andersons’ dynasty finally came to an end.Philip looked at Noah who was begging him continuously and Greg who was crying tears of remorse. Then, he shook his head helplessly.If Greg had not chosen the wrong person, the Andersons would not end up like this.This was a man who could do great things. Unfortunately, the God of Destiny made fools of the people.Philip turned around and looked at Theo behind him. He sa
“You must be referring to the lark people. What do you want with them? They're not to be trifled with. You’ll be in trouble if you mess with them.” Everyone was delighted to hear about the lark people. It was great that someone knew something. Adam was very excited to find a clue as soon as they arrived. He had thought it would take a lot of effort to find something, but reality proved otherwise. “The lark people can be regarded as the overlords here. You can find out about them easily. I'm just an ordinary old woman, so I can't tell you too much. You should approach other people if you want to find out more. Maybe you can find a storyteller. I’m sure they can tell you some very important information.” The old lady was clearly unwilling to disclose anything, so everyone was disappointed. In that case, they could not force her. “Thank you very much. At least you gave us an inkling about what to do. We wouldn’t know so many things if it weren't for you.” Adam thanked the old
“I heard that her family is quite complicated. They seem quite troublesome.” Hearing that, everyone wondered what Adam meant. It seemed that he would face problems in pursuing a relationship with this woman. Carlos looked at Adam awkwardly and sighed. “It doesn't matter. We don’t have to worry about that. Let's just take things one step at a time.” Rabbit calmly drifted around with Philip, feeling quite good. “What's there to worry about? I say the old monk has nothing better to do than worry about trivial matters. It’d be embarrassing if so many of us couldn’t bring a woman back.” Until now, Rabbit felt that the other party was just an ordinary woman, so he did not think that there was anything to worry about. They quickly joined the line to enter the city. To Philip's surprise, there was no entrance fee at all. Moreover, their appearance and attire looked no different from the others. Philip and his friends calmly entered the place, and Philip stood on guard. He had a
Philip felt helpless at the sight of this vast starry sky and suddenly felt that maybe coming here was not the right choice. They arrived without knowing anything about this place, so they might encounter various dangers. “I’m curious about the woman you've been looking for. She must be quite extraordinary,” Philip said curiously, baffled about this matter. Hearing that, Adam shook his head helplessly. He was really clueless about everything. “I only know that I can come here and find her with the key. I don’t even know where she is. We can only search aimlessly in this starry sky.” Philip was dumbfounded by Adam’s incompetence. “I thought we’d be teleported to her home or a fixed location, so I don’t know what’s the deal with this. I have a feeling that I’ve been tricked.” Adam sighed helplessly. “Let's just wander around. I’m sure we can find something somehow,” Carlos comforted Adam, but he was not optimistic about it either. He knew that they probably could not find the
Adam had to reevaluate Philip’s strength. He used to think that Philip was simply the best of his generation. Although powerful, he was not invincible. However, the ability to change certain orders and rules was not something that just anyone had. It would not be far-fetched to call Philip the chosen one favored by the heavens. Philip told Carlos to bury Bryce before forgetting about him. Carlos quickly handled his affairs, packed his bags, and got ready to set off with Philip. Adam also waited for Philip without much luggage on hand. Philip stuffed Rabbit into the Verge Tower space. He had to bring Rabbit along with him or the latter would be up to no good. “Rabbit, stay in Verge Tower and stop bothering me.” Rabbit was upset to hear that he had to stay in Verge Tower but still felt happy that Philip was willing to take him along. “Next, the two of you need to relax. I’ll wrap you with my energy. Don't try to resist or you’ll only end up hurting yourself,” Philip said.
“I have other important things to do. Don't worry. I’ll be back soon, so make sure you work hard during this time. I’ve given you all the pills you need. Whether you can make full use of them depends on you.” In Philip’s opinion, the Hexa Guild could not do anything anymore, so there was no worry about them. After much deliberation, Jamie nodded. Philip did not belong to his guild, so he could hardly stop Philip from leaving. Moreover, Philip’s pill supply was already a great help to them. It would be annoying if Jamie asked for more. “No problem. Where are you going next? Do you need my help? I’ll do my best to help you.” The Celestial Palace was powerful enough for Jamie to say such things. Philip shook his head. He would be traveling with Adam next, and his strength was incredible. It was best for them to leave together. “It’s okay. I have everything prepared. Just do your best in the competition and don’t allow the Hexa Guild to take the upper hand.” Now that the Cele
“He lost his family when their enemies sought revenge while he was very young, so he's quite pitiful in a way.” Philip was not concerned about it. The life story of a loser had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Bryce was clearly up to no good. Getting to know him was a waste of time. “I found all the information he researched. To be honest, I’d think highly of him if he weren't up to no good.” Rabbit waved his paw smugly. He had looked through Bryce’s things and knew exactly what he had researched. Philip looked at a bottle of potion and could tell everything at a glance. “He’s a genius, indeed, but there’s no saving someone with bad intentions.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Bryce could only blame his bad luck for encountering them today. Carlos quickly took care of Bryce. There was no point in keeping such an evil villain. There was no need to be charitable in this situation. Adam looked at the room and sighed helplessly at Bryce’s unfortunate end. Although he had
Philip was curious about this situation. Since he could not get any information from the stubborn hooded man, he would find out indirectly. “That’s enough. Take him away. He has no value to us anyway. It's better to send him away.,” Philip said with disdain and did not take him seriously at all. The hooded man was shocked to hear that Philip was sending him away. He was nervous and afraid that Philip would do something to him. Although he was selfish and unreasonable, he was also a coward and afraid of death. Everyone sighed helplessly at his mournful wails. Adam closed his eyes, unwilling to get involved. Seeing this, Philip believed that Adam was unwilling to pay attention to his nephew, but he was still curious. If they were closely related, why would this guy's family sever all ties with Adam? It was advantageous to be on good terms with Adam. Not only would they receive guidance on practice, but they could also listen to his lectures from time to time. For example,
Philip and the old monk greeted each other happily as if they were old friends. Carlos was surprised to see Philip on such good terms with the high and mighty old monk. This was something he had never even dared to dream about. It was unbelievable that he could sit and drink happily with the old monk one day. “Let me introduce my friends.” Philip calmly introduced everyone around him, ignoring Carlos’ anxiety. Carlos stood up when he saw the old monk. “Hello, my name is Carlos. I admire you very much. I never thought that I'd be able to meet you one day. It’s my honor.” Carlos was happy and excited to get more perks than the guild leader. The old monk was quite friendly. After greeting Carlos with a smile, he looked at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “I want to find out if you know someone.” After saying this, Philip asked Carlos to bring the hooded man out. The guy was tied up tightly and looked pitiful. More importantly, his clothes had been stripped off,
The hooded man woke up very soon, and he could not believe that Philip caught him. “What's going on? How did you catch me? This is impossible.” He was very confident in himself and knew that no one could catch him so easily, but reality had just proven him wrong. He had no choice but to believe it. “What's impossible? You underestimate me too much!” Rabbit snapped furiously. “What’s your name?” Philip stared at the man curiously. He had a feeling that this person was the same as the old monk. “Rabbit, call the old monk over. I want to speak to him. He may not know you, so you need to tell him who you are.” After interrogating this man, Philip wanted to speak to the old monk and find out his opinion about this hooded man. Since the two gave him the same feeling, they had to be connected somehow. Rabbit hopped over to find the old monk. He knew that the old monk was the best referral for this matter because he was very powerful and knowledgeable. The old monk was resting
