Impressive scene, was it not?However, that was not the full extent of it yet!It happened out of nowhere!Suddenly, there were a few loud crashes in the bar!Seven or eight people came flying out of the corridors on either side of the entrance!They were all Nino’s men!A group of brawlers dressed in black suits surged into the main hall of the bar!Leading the pack was none other than Tiger Zander, with his well-built body and an air of violence about him!All by himself, he faced off against a dozen thugs, all armed with bats!These men were the ones Nino had tasked with guarding the door.When faced with Tiger, though, none of them stood a chance. They were all beaten flat onto the floor!Nino looked furious when he heard the commotion. He glared at the door and saw Theo walk out from behind the crowd slowly, wearing a smile that seriously ticked him off.“Zander! What are you up to? This is my turf! Why did you bring so many of your men here?!”Nino was beside himself
Master Zach.The power and authority he wielded were beyond the imagination!Even Nino, to this day, had no idea just how far Master Zach's influence spread.Once, Master Zach showed Nino just a tiny hint of what he could do, and that was enough to make Nino respect and follow him with all his heart.There was an A-list celebrity named Elsa Jordan.

Plenty of famous directors and entrepreneurs gave her the best seat at their tables.Even someone like had to keep a careful smile on her face when she spoke to Master Zach back then.Apparently, Master Zach had relationships with many female celebrities in showbiz.

Caleb was by nature smug and intolerably haughty.All his life, he never once feared anyone. He was quite the classic spoiled rich kid.Unfortunately, however, in his twenty-odd years of life, there was only one person who ever scared him. Just one!That man!The man who had become his nightmare!Proud?Haughty?No one in this world could be prouder or haughtier than that man, Philip Clarke!Caleb still remembered how, so many years ago, that man had come to the capital city with an entourage of special clearance vehicles clearing the traffic for him!Crazy, right?Yet it was true!It was all because Philip had waved his hand and casually said that he would gift the special forces with some cutting-edge military equipment and techniques from abroad. Just like that, those high-ranking officials flooded the hotel Philip was staying in.Back then, Caleb was still young. His family was rich and powerful, so he did not think twice about offending Philip.Where did that land him
Wynn was at the hospital, asking everyone she could find if they knew any famous doctors or could lend her any money.It was all to no avail, though. Her classmates left her in the wind at times like these. Even her close friends were nowhere to be seen.After all, they were scared.They knew that she had a useless husband. Who would lend money to a household like that? They would never see the money back again.While Wynn was feeling sorry for herself, her phone rang with a notification. It was from her cousin, Lynn. She tapped on it and saw that it was a video, plus a voice message. Before she clicked on the video, she tapped on the voice note first. Lynn's somewhat panicked voice came across the speakers. "W… Wynn, did you see the video? Do you know what your husband does for a living?"Wynn frowned her pretty brows slightly. She did not really understand what Lynn meant, so she clicked on the video. The video was crystal clear. It was obviously Philip!Fancy
At Starlight Bar right now, Lynn and the others were about to leave in a hurry. However, they had barely gotten a few steps away when a shadow blocked their way."Phi… Mr. Clarke." Lynn looked up and saw that the one standing in front of her was none other than Philip. As a result, she was so scared that she could not even get a word out properly. Her girl friends and Kyle were huddled together warily as well. They did not even have the guts to raise their heads and look at Philip. That spineless wimp had suddenly metamorphosed into a man even Theo Zander had to respect.Of course they were terrified. Was he here to take revenge on them?However…Philip just frowned and said calmly, "You saw everything?"Lynn was quaking in her boots. She stammered for a long time, shaking her head desperately as she said, "N-No… I didn't see anything."What did Philip want?Did he want to kill her so she would not spill his secret?Philip smiled and took Lynn's phone from her. When h
"Actually, the doctor I found is Professor Henry Turner."Philip decided to tell her in the end.Wynn's movements froze partway through searching up the name on her phone. She looked at him in disbelief. He had contacted Professor Henry Turner?After a brief moment of shock, her expression turned a little strange. She looked at Philip and said coldly, "Philip Clarke, can you stop joking at a time like this?"Of course she did not believe him. That was the Professor Henry Turner, the juggernaut of the medical field, a legendary heart specialist. He was renowned both domestically and internationally. How could Philip ever get him on their side?So Wynn just assumed that he was trying to console her."Believe me, Wynn, I really did manage to get Professor Turner. I also…" Philip tried to explain. However…Suddenly, there was a cold sarcastic laugh behind him. "You sure know how to bluff, Philip. Do you really think you could reach Professor Turner? You? Even if you want t
There was a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties behind Martha. She was very fashionably dressed, a little on the plump side. She had a red LV bag, a jade bangle, a gold chain, and even a stylish older-lady perm.Everyone could feel her aura the moment she walked in. She oozed luxury!That was Martha’s second older sister, Philip and Wynn’s second aunt.Her name was Paula Yates, and she was the second eldest daughter in the family.Martha had never liked her second older sister.The two of them would get into catfights every time they met, over the same old things.Paula had a daughter who married a rich husband. The man had his own company and good connections in society, so Paula’s social status rose accordingly. Life was pretty good for her now.It was obvious in the way she dressed. She reeked of money.It was as though she wanted to wear all of her fortunes wherever she went, so that everyone would envy her.Case in point, Paula gave Philip the stink eye as soon as
Philip’s voice was not loud. He smiled at them apologetically.Even so, his words left everyone in the room stunned.Martha especially looked at him like he was a ghost. She felt terrible all over, and she burst out swearing, “Damn you, Philip, no one asked you! Get the hell out!”Martha was beside herself with fury.Philip was such a blabbermouth.“Compare yourself to Paula’s son-in-law! Do you think you have any right to speak?” Martha roared at Philip furiously.“If you weren’t so useless, would I embarrass myself in front of my family like this? I must have been blind to accept a useless piece of trash like you as my son-in-law back then!“Look at her son-in-law, look what he bought for her! What about you? Have you ever bought me anything? How can you say such nonsense on top of that? If you want to go to the party, you can go by yourself! I’m not going!”As Martha howled at him, Philip lowered his head helplessly.It seemed his mother-in-law was dead certain that he was
Although the other races were at odds with Philip, they had a common enemy, so there was no need to trigger a conflict. Although the merfolk were uncertain about Philip’s reaction, they joined the battle too. Although Philip did not indicate that he would help them, Philip was fighting. As long as they won, they would survive. “Keep it up. Don’t let Philip down. Let’s do our best and show Philip what we can do!” the merfolk roared. They knew that it was not easy to show their strength. They had suffered greatly in the previous battle. They were lucky enough to be alive right now. Philip knew that they were injured, but he had no intention of helping them. Although not all the merfolk were bad, their leader was a different story. If that high and mighty chief was willing to approach him and show his servitude, Philip might consider giving him a chance. However, he was still putting on airs, which was simply a joke. As Philip fought, he saw the merfolk fighting too. Although th
The merfolk begging Philip for help did not think Philip had done anything wrong in the previous incident. They knew what happened to their holy maiden was related to Tom. Philip was not at fault at all. Many of them also had some opinions about the merfolk chief, but they had to keep their mouths shut if they wanted to survive.They were really scared this time. The merfolk begged Philip on their knees. Although undignified, it was the only way to survive. Other races stared at the merfolk in surprise, wondering what was going on. Many people knew that the merfolk had suffered a great blow, but they never thought they would become so cowardly. What happened to the merfolk was not a secret. Everyone knew about their holy maiden. However, most of them did not know the details. They thought the merfolk simply encountered some difficulties. Coupled with the appearance of the demons, everyone gradually forgot about it. Seeing the merfolk again, their curiosity was piqued. “W
Aslan and the others scowled at the empty space. There was no exit in this direction. Everyone was worried. There was nowhere to run even if they wanted to. “Philip, we have been surrounded. We can only go through the black energy if we want to leave!” Aslan said anxiously. He did not have to touch it to know how toxic the black energy was. “Don’t touch that thing!” Black Rabbit jumped out in a panic. “I saw some stubborn people going through the black energy and dying of poison!” Philip sighed. They could not afford any more deaths. The statue was clearly triggered by the dead people’s blood. At this rate, they would be in big trouble. Everyone was in the same boat. They could not afford any careless mistakes. “Forget it. We can’t handle them. Do we have any pills that can withstand that black energy or any armor to protect ourselves?” Aslan suggested. Philip waved his hand. “It’s too late.” The black energy was slowly forming a human shape. Everyone followed Phi
Someone was brave enough to touch the black energy. At one touch, he realized the error of his ways because he was devoured by it. He turned into a puff of blood mist with no chance of recovery at all. Some people took out some pills and stuffed them into their mouths, but they lost consciousness before the pills took effect. They turned into puffs of blood mist and vanished into the air, but Philip noticed something. He looked in the direction where the blood mist disappeared. The blood mist was following an invisible route to a black statue. Philip would not have believed that there was a huge and terrifying statue in this place if he had not followed the blood mist. He watched as the wisps of blood merged into the statue, turning it red. The statue looked terrifying. Only the statue’s eyeballs remained black while the rest was an eerie blood red. “We can’t have more people dying.” Philip scowled and told everyone what he had seen. At this rate, he was worried about what
“I know that you’re Philip Clarke. I've heard many things about you. I want to discuss a deal with you.” The young man smiled calmly as if he understood Philip very well. “I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Wayne White. I think we should be around the same age, so you can call me whatever you want.” Philip nodded at his sincere introduction. He would not refuse a deal. He was a good judge of character. The young man looked pretty friendly, so Philip decided to have a good chat with him. They went to a deserted corner and started chatting. Philip remained excited throughout the whole process. It was surprising to gain so much from the conversation. “I’m aware of the demon invasion and the Spade family, but it’s not easy for someone like you to expose everything.” Philip was surprised that Wayne knew about it. After all, few people knew that Philip was related to the case. Wayne not only guessed his involvement but also approached him, which proved that he was a talent of
“I was teleported to a secret space, and someone who looked exactly like me appeared! No matter what I did, that thing could deal with me. To think that it could copy my abilities was simply over the top!” The major families let their guards down and gathered to discuss it, expressing their fear. Philip stood observing this mysterious place without paying attention to them. “Philip, we’re out. That encounter was so weird. If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, that thing would've gotten its way!” Aslan approached Philip nervously, surprised by this development. He was not afraid when he saw a guy who looked exactly like him, but he started panicking when the other party used the same moves as him. “That thing was a force to be reckoned with,” Aslan exclaimed nervously, but no one knew if he was praising himself or the other party. Two hours passed by in a flash. As more and more people appeared, some people were happy while others were sad. Many small families were not confi
No one expected to encounter attacks from their own kind, so they could not tell if it was an illusion or reality. Their counter-attacks seemed powerless against those enemies too. The opponents’ attacks caused huge damage to them so resistance was futile. “Captain, we can’t hold on any longer. What’s going on?” “How can we escape from this damn place? We’ll die if we don’t leave now!” “Think of a way to leave this place at once!” Everyone roared in the face of this difficulty. Compared to humans, however, they were quite lucky. After entering this area, the humans found themselves surrounded by their own projections. Everyone was on guard against this bizarre phenomenon. Before they figured out what happened, their projections attacked them. The opponent's attack was steady, accurate, and ruthless, hitting their vital points. One careless move and one would simply die on the spot. Some people could not react in time and turned into a puff of dust. The quicker ones simp
Everyone looked at each other awkwardly. The cynocephaly saw this scene and came up with an idea to wreak havoc! “Find Philip!” the leader of the cynocephali ordered, and his people quickly sprang into action. The cynocephali were quick on their feet, and combined with their strong sense of smell, it was easy for them to find Philip's trace. Philip and the others did not deliberately hide their whereabouts. They looked around calmly. They knew that an unspeakable conspiracy was waiting for them, so they were just waiting for it. The cynocephaly quickly surrounded Philip and his team, and they spread the news to other races. The other races were very anxious and not in the mood to bother about this, but they kept an eye on the situation for fear that Philip would do something weird. Philip was unfazed. Although they were surrounded, Philip was not nervous at all and even looked forward to it. “Philip, I just confirmed that there’s no sign of the rabbit family’s true god he
The cynocephali laughed and entered the bronze door. They had achieved their goal, so there was no point in staying. It would be better to enter the bronze door and find their true god. The cynocephali never thought that their words could create such a commotion. All the major races and humans were annoyed with Philip now, and they would not allow anyone to affect their interests. Philip had no idea that he had become the target of public outrage. He and his team were still rushing forward. It was foggy along the way, and no one could see what was ahead. Philip frowned as he looked around but saw no traces of the true gods. “This thing about the true gods, is it true? We’ve been here for so long, but there’s nothing!” Aslan expressed his doubt. This place was not as simple as they imagined. Although Philip did not speak, his gaze reflected his thoughts. If they were not powerful practitioners, they would not be able to see anything in this fog. “Maybe only the families
