Baloo turned around and scoffed. “Are you threatening me? Mr. Quinn, you should realize that this is the private property of the Hane family, not the bodyguard room of your Joo family. Besides, empty threats don’t work on me. Even if your identity isn’t simple, it makes no difference. “At my place, you have to follow my rules!” Mack shook his head, feeling sorry for Baloo. He said, “Baloo, it’s not a threat, and I don’t have to threaten you either. I'm just explaining a fact to you. Philip Clarke is not someone you can provoke. You still have 25 minutes.” Hardy also looked at Baloo at this time with pity in his eyes. This guy was still putting on airs at this time! They had no idea what it would be like when Third Young Miss lost her temper! They really did not expect the Hane family to be in such a mess. They were simply a nest of vipers! After being repeatedly ridiculed and threatened, Baloo finally had enough. Besides, he was one of the three top gamblers in Riverdal
Hardy snorted. “Another buffoon who doesn’t know what’s good for him.” Klein frowned and glared at Hardy furiously! Mack quickly interrupted. “We’re not hungry. We hope Third Master Hane can deal with this matter as soon as possible and we can return to our stations too.” Klein retracted his gaze. With a face full of smiles, he returned to his pretentious harmonious demeanor. He signaled to Baloo to continue his investigation while he remained in the courtyard with Mack and the others. He had no alternative. If they refused to enter the house, Klein could not enter either. He needed to use his identity to suppress them. Baloo brought his people into the dimly lit room and saw Philip sitting leisurely inside through the modified glass wall. Without further ado, Baloo pushed the door open and entered the room. Chip’s back was already drenched with sweat at this moment. When he saw Baloo walking in, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Baloo…” Baloo waved his hand and s
Baloo’s expression turned cold as he said with a slightly menacing sneer, “Is that important?” “You’re right. They’ll end up dead anyway.” Philip grinned, showing his white teeth while looking innocent. However, that smile only made Baloo shudder! From Philip’s grin and eyes, he felt the ferocity of a beast! The look in this guy's eyes was so terrifying! Was this the reason why the boss was apprehensive about him? Philip scoffed. “I need to remind you, don’t fan the flames and set yourself on fire. Be careful or the flames will burn everyone behind you to death.” Hearing this, Baloo frowned. A wave of anger welled within him, but he quickly suppressed it. He said grimly, “Philip, I know you’re on good terms with Theo and have some tricks up your sleeve, so I don’t plan to torture you. I’ll give you two options. One is to explain Young Master Hane’s beating, and the other is to find a way to get away from the Hane family. Obviously, the second option is more difficult.
In the huge courtyard, Mack stood motionlessly while staring fixedly at the gate. He would check his watch from time to time. Next to him, Klein spoke incessantly with a smiling face. Klein could not help it. The special class bodyguards of the Joo family had extraordinary background and status. Even if he was the third master of the Hane family, he needed to treat them with courtesy. It was because these people, to a certain extent, represented the patriarch of the Joo family and even Old Master Joo himself! “I say, it’s not appropriate for you to stand here all the time. Why don’t we head to the restaurant across the street? Let me be the host.” Klein’s objective was very simple—to divert the attention of Mack and his men and create favorable conditions for Baloo to act. Of course, Mack was fully aware of his intentions. He shook his head faintly and said, “No, I’ll just wait here. Time is almost up anyway.” “Time is up?” Klein was taken aback. He had no idea what Mack
Everyone was dumbstruck. Who was Deaton Wade? He was the boss of the top bodyguard agency in Riverdale! At this moment, he was willing to act as a valet and open car doors. One could imagine how amazing the identity of the person sitting in the Cadillac was! Vivi Joo stepped out in her black high heels. She could be seen wearing a black dress. She got out of the car with a stern face and smiled at Deaton. “Third Young Miss.” Mack, Hardy, and Roy walked over and greeted her respectfully. Vivi nodded, looked at the private residence of the Hane family, and asked coldly, “Where is he?” Mack was a little nervous as he glanced at Klein. He said, “Still inside.” Vivi frowned slightly and glanced at Deaton. Deaton immediately called out to Klein, “Hey, Klein, come here.” Klein was already stunned. He was not a fool. He knew at first glance the identity of the woman who had just gotten out of the car! The third young miss of the Joo family! The Joo family was in the top f
Klein sneered inwardly, but on the surface, he made a lot of effort for his performance that was full of excitement. In fact, he was taking advantage of the situation to say this to Vivi. In other words, he was saying that he represented the Hane family while Vivi was not qualified to talk here. Of course, he dared not say this openly. “Shut up!” This time, Klein was being shouted at! However, it was not Mack, or Hardy, nor Vivi who shouted at him, but Deaton instead! Getting shouted at in public, Klein’s dignity suffered a blow as his expression collapsed immediately. He never expected that at such a time, Deaton would actually yell at him and make him lose face! No matter what, he was still the third master of the Hane family. Even if Deaton was powerful, he was just one person with an agency under his name. He did not have a family as his backing! After Deaton was done shouting, he looked at Klein and said in a low voice, “Stop your blathering and quickly bring
He never expected that Philip would know Old Master Joo! Baloo's heart had already sunk to the bottom of the sea. If not for his many years of social experience that he could still control himself, he might have run away with his tail tucked between his legs long ago! It was also at this time that Baloo heard the sounds of rushing footsteps! The footsteps were very rapid, both light and heavy. It seemed that many people were heading this way! Philip also heard the footsteps and the corners of his mouth curled up. Baloo shuddered at the sight. However, Baloo also knew the people outside. With Klein around, there should be no problem. It seemed likely that Klein was unable to withstand the pressure from Mack. Nonetheless, time was almost up. Baloo pondered his options. He had already asked all that should be asked. His only worry now was that Philip knew Old Master Joo, which would make things a bit difficult for him. In just a moment, however, Baloo had already made
The few of them had had verbal disagreements right from the start and none of them took it seriously before, but once a person made a physical move against the other party, then the nature of the conflict would change! When Hardy saw that the other party actually dared to talk back to Third Young Miss, he naturally disregarded his status and directly pressed the dignified Third Master Hane on the wall. If word spread out, the Hane family would completely lose face! As the president of the bodyguard agency in Riverdale, Deaton’s expression also became awkward at the moment! This turn of events was totally beyond his control. The other party was the third young miss of the Joo family, after all. He could not provoke nor dared to provoke her! Furthermore, Philip Clarke was also sitting across them! That was the big shot one had to be aware of! Philip acted like nothing had happened. He sat there quietly, shaking his propped leg with his arms folded across his chest as if he wa
“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
