Emily's expression changed drastically when she saw the walking cane. She stood up and asked anxiously, “Who sent the walking cane? What happened to my grandpa?” Iris held the walking cane in her hand and said in confusion to Emily, “When I opened the door, I only saw the walking cane. There was no one outside.” Hearing that, Philip stood up and walked to Emily's side. “Don't worry. Let's go back and have a look.” After saying this, the group of four walked to Emily's house. At this time, Emily's house was already in a mess. There was no sign of Grandpa in the room at all. Emily panicked at this sight. Philip frowned and explored carefully as he walked around the room. On the lower floor of the underground city, Emily and her grandfather did not have any feud with anyone. The only possibility was the families on the lower floor that Philip had offended were here to seek revenge. Philip said to Leopard, “Tell your boys to find all the people who might be involved in
At the outskirts of Blackwater Forest, Philip found traces of battle. It was a fierce battle too! The area was full of severed body parts and various damaged equipment. Some came from Cougar Squad, some from the Finn family, and some from unknown families. Philip contacted Cougar on the communicator, but there was no response. He followed the earlier route and walked in the direction of the mine. However, before reaching the middle area, there was a burst of light! Few members of Cougar Squad remained around Cougar, and Philip saw that Cougar was injured quite badly. Lorna stood next to Cougar with many chinks in her saber. Although she was not injured, Philip saw fine beads of sweat on her forehead. The captain of the Shannon family was surrounding them with a group of people, and many mechas were aimed at them too. Obviously, as long as the captain gave the order, they would be wiped out. At this time, Philip, who came alone, was also discovered by the captain
A huge explosion! The fire element collided with the dark element! In the next second, to the captain’s surprise, Philip’s hand went through his chest. It was no longer a normal hand but the sharp claws of a chimera. The captain's face was full of disbelief as blood spilled from his mouth. “Impossible. What level is your fire element? Why is it so strong?” Philip withdrew his hand and said flatly, “There are many things in this world that you don't know and you won’t have the chance to know.” Philip glanced around. Philip had killed the most powerful captain with one strike, so no one else dared to mess around. People from Cougar Squad and the Finn family appeared not far away. With Philip around, no one dared to move either! Cougar and Lorna glanced at Philip. Cougar laughed loudly and said, “You really bring me luck. If not for you today, it won’t be that easy for me to escape!” Although he had the idea of fighting it out with them, this was not what Philip really
Philip said, “I want to thoroughly investigate the people in Cougar Squad and find the mole hidden inside!” Cougar's expression promptly changed. He never expected Philip to say that! “What did you say? Are you saying that there’s a mole in Cougar Squad?” Philip told Cougar about his encounter, including how he met the man who was preparing the equipment in Cougar Squad and how he heard Cougar ordering them to be fully armed! Although Philip had his suspicions about that as Cougar did not have a communicator at that time, at the thought of the two scout teams sent out before, Philip disregarded this doubt. They were far away from the main troop just now, so they were not affected by the electromagnetic bomb. Cougar frowned when he heard Philip’s words. “Come with me to Cougar Squad now!” Philip immediately followed Cougar to Cougar Squad. On the way, Philip tried to contact Emily and the others more than once, but there was no response. In Cougar Squad, Cougar gathe
Hearing that question, Philip asked softly, “Were you away from Cougar Squad just now?” Everyone could hear the impolite tone in Philip’s voice. Most of them also realized that this matter must have something to do with that guy. At this time, Cougar came over with a smile and said, “He’s the person in charge of logistics in Cougar Squad, called Old Clarke! Most of the time, he’ll be in Cougar Squad except when he needs to buy some food and necessities.” However, Philip ignored Cougar. “I repeat, were you not in Cougar Squad just now?” Seeing Philip’s severity, Cougar wanted to stop him, but Old Clarke spoke at this time, “I just came back from shopping.” Philip asked, “In that case, how do you know that I returned victorious?” Old Clarke was speechless. Since he said that he just came back, how would he know anything about Philip? If he said that someone told him through the communicator, Philip would definitely check his communicator. His hesitance and pondering
Old Clarke was Philip's only hope of rescuing his teammates now, so Philip could not let Cougar make a move. However, Cougar was unwilling to let Old Clarke off just like that, so he said to Philip, “Philip, what do you think is a better way to handle this?” Philip pondered before he looked at Old Clarke and said, “Tell us who are the people behind you and what your purpose for kidnapping them is.” Old Clarke just smiled and pointed at Philip. “The purpose is you, of course. You may not be aware of it, but someone has been eyeing you for a long time. They just want to observe you for the time being, so they haven't done anything to you yet.” After a pause, Old Clarke continued, “If you want to keep them alive, follow me to Square Cage. I guarantee you'll see them there, but it's up to you whether you can save them.” Old Clarke was about to head outside after speaking, but Philip would not let him go so easily. Suddenly, Philip stepped forward and grabbed Old Clarke's head
Old Clarke did not even glance at Lorna, who stood aside. It was as if she did not exist. Old Clarke’s disdain made Lorna unhappy. “If you can keep your mouth shut, I can guarantee that you’ll at least get to Square Cage alive!” Hearing that, Old Clarke glared at Lorna. He knew that Lorna was telling the truth. To be honest, they could kill Old Clarke right now if they wanted. They could simply ask their way around to find Square Cage. As long as Philip was not there, those people would not do anything to Leopard and the others. Hearing that, Old Clarke also thought things through, so he stopped talking. The middle floor was obviously much better than the lower floor, with more resources to choose from and trade. There was even equipment made by elemental practitioners, which showed that this place was much more developed than the lower floor. Even the mechas here were not comparable to those scrap metal on the lower floor. At this moment, Lorna whispered to Phili
Lorna looked at Philip in disbelief, at a loss of what to say. If not for Philip’s quick wit, they might have let the cat out of the bag under these people’s cross-examination. Old Clarke coughed lightly at this time. When he was about to speak to the few guards, Philip hit him on the back of his neck. Old Clarke passed out promptly, but when the guards saw Philip’s action, they were startled, thinking that they had angered Philip. This time, Philip truly felt the respect given to Square Cage by these people. However, Philip also had questions about Square Cage. After dismissing the guards, Philip woke Old Clarke up and said, “If you dare to play any tricks again, I’ll kill you outright!” Old Clarke finally realized that Philip was no easy person to deal with and promptly behaved well. At least, he was well-behaved for the time being. Finally, under Old Clarke’s direction, the three arrived at Square Cage. Square Cage was actually an abandoned factory area on the mi
