Philip did not expect Wynn to appear at this time and overhear the conversation between him and Cynthia. He was taken aback. How was he going to explain this? Cynthia seemed to notice Philip’s hesitation and quickly explained, “Miss Johnston, you got it wrong. I was talking to Philip about Beacon’s new drug. Actually, I want to cooperate with you as a representative of the Larson family.” When Wynn heard that it was about cooperation, she immediately became interested. The two women quickly started talking. In the end, Wynn even expressed her dissatisfaction toward Philip. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Philip chuckled and said, “Well, I’m just trying to observe them for a little while.” Wynn rolled her eyes at him and said, “Let’s go home.” Philip did not move. He glanced at Cynthia and said, “I’ve something to deal with. Let Miss Larson send you home.” “What is it?” Wynn suddenly became nervous as she thought of Vivi Joo's invitation to Philip just now. Phi
“Nothing much. I just want to see for myself what kind of person is this so-called Young Master Clarke.” Vivi said, “Hehe, you're the first man to see me wearing this while still keeping calm.” Calm? “Don’t talk to me about such useless things. A superstar like you invited me to your suite late at night. Now, you’re dressed like this just to see what kind of person I am?” Philip tried his best to shift his gaze away from Vivi. Really, she was going to be the death of him. “Well, you can say that I’m trying to get close to you, but I’m really just being curious.” Vivi said with a smile, “I’m curious to find out how you kicked the Quaid family out of Capital City and how you’re planning to deal with the Hane family. Maybe, I just want to know the location of Arcadia Island.” “You’re playing with fire! The Joo family too!” Philip’s eyes froze over! Vivi shuddered. Seeing Philip’s frosty gaze, she suddenly realized she overdid it. Moreover, she was alone in this suite. If
Philip hastily chased after her till he was outside, but after he turned a corner, there was no sign of that person.Philip searched around frantically. However, that figure seemed to have disappeared into thin air. Why? Was that Hannah? Philip grabbed his hair and felt confused. What exactly was going on? Suddenly, Cynthia appeared, and her words sounded full of meaning as she joked with him. However. She noticed that Philip seemed unwell and asked, “What’s wrong?” “Ahem.” Philip coughed drily, forced out a smile, and touched his nose as he said, “Nothing. The other party was just too enthusiastic. People who’ve returned from abroad are different indeed.” “Be careful or I’ll tell Wynn what you just said!” Cynthia glared at him contemptuously. “I’ve sent your wife home safely. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going back too.” Cynthia turned around and looked suspiciously at Philip again. “Are you really okay? I can’t help feeling that you’re troubled by somethi
Unexpectedly, he had not heard about this person for several years. It turned out he was actually in Riverdale! No wonder the old master was so concerned about him and even told Vivi to go there in person. “Ash, bring a team and station yourselves in Riverdale. Monitor the movements of Philip Clarke and Beacon Group closely,” Ivan instructed before he got up and left the gym. Philip Clarke, he had finally returned! He looked forward to the day they would meet! Back to Philip. He had just returned to the villa. In the living room, he saw Martha sitting upright, and Wynn, sitting beside her. She was making eyes at Philip with a look of helplessness. “Philip, you’re back already?” Martha looked all puffed up with the certificate of property ownership on the table. She said coldly, “Since Wynnie is here tonight too, you must give me an explanation about this and add my name again. Otherwise, you don’t have to return to this house any longer. I’ll move out together with Wynnie
Philip was taken aback when he heard those words! “How is it? Is she still alive?” Philip asked. “Young Master, I re-investigated the information about Young Miss and found that it was manipulated. I haven't found out who this person is, but what can be confirmed is that the lady is likely to be alive,” Rick said. Still alive! Philip’s eyes turned moist. After so many years, he had been living in self-guilt. Now that he heard the news, even if his heart was hardened with resolve, he would inevitably be excited! “Check it out! Find out to the end! No matter who stands behind it, find everything out for me!” Philip took a deep breath, his expression getting colder. His body was filled with a dormant but soaring chill! He was aware that since his sister’s information was manipulated, it meant that someone had to be interfering with it. Their motives must be terrifying! However, no matter what their motives were, Philip would get to the bottom of this! No matter who it
How should he put it?He definitely could not tell Wynn the truth. That brat Jaden Larson had dug a pit for him. Ten minutes passed. Philip remained silent and maintained his posture of pinching his chin with his eyes closed in deep thought. Wynn frowned and called out to him, “Philip, you’re sleeping again!” Right then, Philip woke up and said leisurely, “I see, it’s okay. Just leave it to me.” “You? What do you plan to do?” Wynn did not trust Philip entirely with this matter. After all, the other party made an assassination attempt. This sort of thing only happened in the movies. “I have my ways. Don’t worry about it,” Philip stretched as he said. Seeing that Philip did not plan to tell her anything, Wynn did not pursue the matter but asked worriedly instead, “Juan just invited me for dinner. Do you think I should go?” “Juan invited you for dinner?” Philip raised his eyebrows and could not help feeling that there was a trap somewhere. Was he really trying to
Very soon, Philip reached the door of the research room. He quickly entered the password and went through the iris detection system. Fortunately, Wynn had his details entered into the system the last time. Otherwise, no matter how resourceful Philip was, he could only rely on explosive weapons to break in! There was an explosion in the research room! It was too sudden. Although judging from the sound, the scale of this explosion was not too large, but it would be deadly enough if ordinary people were caught in the center of the explosion! After going through the four-fold security door of the laboratory, Philip could see that the entire laboratory was enveloped in smoke. He could hardly see what was in front of him at all! The visibility was less than two meters! Smoke bombs! Philip had gone through the devilish training by Reed Williams after all, so he could naturally tell that the smoke around him was caused by smoke bombs. Instantly, his tumultuous heart relaxed. Smo
Philip roared a few times, but the research room was chaotic and no one listened to him. After all, their lives were at stake here! Several people squeezed their way toward Philip. He grabbed two of them and pushed them back, but when he grabbed the third person, a cold light abruptly flashed at his neck! The dagger shining with a cold light was like a poisonous snake protruding out of the smoke, aiming at Philip’s neck while baring its fangs! The opponent’s movements were very fast. Even at a glance, one could tell it was a professional! Moreover, the timing of this sneak attack was very accurate. When Philip noticed the crisis, the dagger had already pierced through the shirt on his chest! “Damn it!” He could not fight head-on. The opponent came prepared, and with the thick smoke surrounding him, Philip could not tell the position of the opponent at all. He could only dodge out of the way quickly and arch his back to avoid the attack from the man in the dark! The dagger
“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
On the other hand, Lincoln was shocked to find that Hogster was dead. Lincoln had been watching the situation and knew that Philip was a powerful person. Everything was most likely related to Philip. However, he never thought that Philip could make people stronger. He had heard of some special circumstances that could improve someone’s strength. He had roughly guessed the implications but never paid much attention to the matter. In his opinion, the Hexa Guild was already ruined. If he wanted to save the guild, he had to get rid of Alain and his people. Lincoln had lost trust in the guild. If he had not left his seclusion by chance, he would not have bothered about anything. “Forget it. Stop throwing your weight around. Since your son died a tragic death, I won’t make things difficult for you,” Carlos said in disdain.He knew what Alain had done, so he did not have a good impression of him. Although his remark sounded a little hurtful, it felt good to say it. The other guil
“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
