This scene happened too abruptly and too quickly!
In the car, Theo and the two black-suited bodyguards in the front seats quickly took out their weapons from their waist and waited!
Theo realized they had fallen into the trap!
It was a planned diversion!
Moreover, the other party had set up an ambush on the mountain road leading to Riverdale from Phoenicia.
In other words, the people behind were here to kill Philip!
“Mr. Clarke, stay in the car!”
Theo immediately made plans. He looked at the two men in front of favonovel.com and said, “Follow me down. Whatever happens, protect Mr. Clarke!”
However, Philip stopped Theo, shook his head, and said, “It’s useless. Since the other party has already arranged this, they won’t let us go. Stay in the car and act according to the situation!”
Through the glass windows, they saw four or five men and women wearing various masks approaching from behind the cars while holding long firearms in their hands. They were ruthlessly shooting at the remaining bodyguards!
Bang, bang, bang!
For a while, loud gunshots resounded!
Boom!
A black Mercedes-Benz exploded. Soaring flames and blasted parts flew everywhere!
Watching this scene, Theo squeezed his fists tightly and quickly checked the surroundings.
The car could no longer move, and there were no empty spaces around them.
They could not run up the mountain because it was almost a 90-degree slope!
Running down the mountain was even more impossible because there were cliffs and dense forests!
Theo was filled with anxiety at the moment!
If something happened to Philip while favonovel.com was under his care, favonovel.com would really blame himself even if favonovel.com went to hell!
Soon, the gunfire outside ceased.
The five masked men and women emptied a few more barrels of bullets on the black-suited bodyguards who had fallen on the ground before turning their attention to the Mercedes-Benz at the forefront.
The guy who took the lead, wearing a V for Vendetta mask, shouted at the Mercedes-Benz with a deep voice, “Mr. Clarke, come out.”
In the car, Philip glanced at the five people who had already surrounded him, pushed the car door open, and walked down calmly.
The man in the mask watched as Philip, Theo, and the others came out of the car. They could not help but sneer. The triangular eyes behind the mask carried a ferocious chill as the man said, “Mr. Clarke is indeed a powerful man. I can’t see a trace of fear in you at all. How admirable.”
Theo and the two bodyguards raised their guns, standing in front of and around Philip.
Philip glanced at the five people and asked straightforwardly, “Who sent you and how much are you getting? I’ll triple it!”
The man in the V for Vendetta mask laughed up to the sky, saying, “I know you’re rich, Mr. Clarke, but we’ve already taken on this job. We can’t betray our employer just because of your offer to triple the price, right? Besides, do you think I won’t search for the money from your body later on?”
The four people behind favonovel.com also laughed at that.
Philip’s face darkened. He looked at the man in the mask and asked, “Well then, the first question, who sent you?”
Cold and indifferent.
That was Philip’s expression.
Even in the face of the threats from the five opposing people, favonovel.com showed no fear.
This was the courage that belonged to the heir of the Clarke family.
The leader suddenly stopped sneering as suspicion flashed through the corner of his eyes. He mocked, saying, “Why? Do you think you can escape from our hands?”
Philip said flatly, “Maybe.”
Hahaha!
A burst of laughter.
The leader laughed presumptuously. This was the first time favonovel.com heard a joke like this in so many years.
Lame Fred was in the business for so many years and had never missed!
Even against Mr. Clarke who had caused such ripples in Phoenicia recently, favonovel.com was confident in winning.
“Okay! You’re very bold indeed! Do you think that with the three good-for-nothings around you, five of us can be killed?” Lame Fred asked coldly.
The follower beside favonovel.com said impatiently, “Boss, let’s stop the nonsense and just kill him.”
Lame Fred turned his head, glared at him, and said, “Brainless fool! Haven’t you heard that this kid has a card with a balance of 100 billion?! If we can get our hands on it, we won’t have to fight and kill for the rest of our lives!”
Then, Lame Fred—the man in the V for Vendetta mask—turned his head. His eyes were glinting with chills as favonovel.com stared at Philip and said, “Mr. Clarke, why don’t we make a deal? I’ll let you go, but you have to give me the card and password.”
Philip sneered, took the card out of his pants pocket, and said, “I can give it to you, but I don’t know if you can swallow it!”
