Chapter 773

Wynn’s heart was shaken when she received the text message.

Hannah Clarke!

Was that the woman who gave her the necklace the other day?

Come to think of it, when Philip heard the name that day, he got quite agitated.

This woman’s last name was Clarke too. Did she have any special relationship with Philip?

Wynn looked at the content of the text message, thought for a long time, and replied, ‘Who are you?How are you related to Philip?’

Ding-dong.

A reply came in. ‘If you want to replace out, come to the café.’

Should she go?

Wynn fell into deep thought. If she went, it signified her distrust of Philip.

If she did not go, she would let herself down.

After all, Philip was getting more and more unpredictable.

Back to the Beacon research lab.

The dagger in Fire Serpent’s hand glinted with a cold chill, piercing toward Philip!

Unexpectedly, the dagger did not stab into Philip’s chest as Fire Serpent had hoped for!

The dagger stopped about an inch away from Philip’s chest!

In mid-air, the iron-like hand clamped on the sharp blade of the dagger calmly!

The sharp dagger shone with cold light and could no longer move forward even half an inch. Eventhough Fire Serpent exhausted all his strength to wield the dagger, he could not make it go any further!

Two fingers, only two fingers, were clamped on the dagger!

What terrifying strength!

Fire Serpent was shocked, his face full of disbelief!

He had been in this line for so many years and yet to see anyone who dared to pinch a daggerbetween two fingers!

This man was simply too horrific!

Looking at the other person’s eyes, he seemed quite unconcerned as if everything was under control.

At this moment, Fire Serpent caved in completely, his whole body full of chills.

Beacon Group actually had such a terrifying expert?

Why was this not mentioned in the intelligence?

“There are always ignorant people who want to test the waters.”

Philip glanced at the ashen Fire Serpent nonchalantly and threw the dagger at his feet.

“If you still want to try to escape, you can try another dagger. Maybe you’ll succeed the next time,”Philip squinted as he said in a mocking tone.

Fire Serpent shuddered when he heard those words. He no longer wished to try. He sat limply on theground, looking at the young man in front of him without knowing what to say.

Philip said with a shrug, “It seems that you’re not going to struggle anymore. You made me hide in theair-conditioning vent for so long. I didn’t expect you to surrender so quickly. This is so boring.”

After Fire Serpent heard the words, a desperate look appeared in his eyes. He thought that his planwould be seamless as it was well-planned out. He had dismantled the monitoring equipment and tookadvantage of the security check to get in. What he did not expect was that this was actually part of aplan by someone else. He finally understood the meaning of ‘coveting gains ahead but unaware of thedanger behind’.

Philip looked at Fire Serpent coldly and said, “It was just a guess, but I guessed it right. Those two guysin the morning are just a prelude. You’re the actual star!”

“Leave me a way out and I’ll give you all my treasures.”

After working as a thief for so many years, Fire Serpent had hoarded a lot of good things, and everysingle item was a priceless existence.

His thinking was very simple. No one in this world would say no to money. He just needed to buy hislife with those things. Although he would lose the treasures, as long as he survived, there would alwaysbe a chance to steal them back again!

“I didn’t intend to kill you in the first place, but since you’re so forthcoming, I’ll accept it. However, youhave to cooperate well with me,” Philip said mildly.

“What? You don’t intend to kill me? Really?”

Fire Serpent was very excited when he heard that.

“Do you want to stay alive?”

Philip looked at him with a little twinkle in his eyes.

“Of course! Just say the word. I’ll agree to anything!”

Fire Serpent propped his limp body up and knelt in front of Philip excitedly!

He knew that his life was in the hands of the man in front of him!

“From what you said just now, you seem to be a master thief?” Philip said. This person could be ofgreat use in the future.

“I dare not. It’s just a title.”

Fire Serpent knelt on the ground and looked up at Philip, feeling as if he had escaped from death.

Philip did not pursue this topic. “It’s actually very simple for you to stay alive. It depends on yoursincerity.”

Upon hearing this, Fire Serpent suddenly grabbed Philip’s thigh and said, “Boss, please tell me what Ineed to do. I’ll definitely do it!”

“Follow me from now on. How about it?”

Philip looked at Fire Serpent with a faint gleam in his eyes, his true inner thoughts completelyunfathomable at this moment.
