Fennel frowned and said, “It’s difficult to say. Among the forces in Cochly Mountain, it’s not that easy to deploy so many experts at once. Moreover, the other party’s targets are you and Janike.”
“You have no contact with Cochly Mountain, so it doesn’t make sense for so many people to come after you. Even if there were, it should only be those few.”
“Which ones?” Philip asked.
“First, the Lovelace family. They know you’re here and want to kill you, but that doesn’t match up with the message Wynn left you earlier. I don’ t think the Lovelace family wants to kill you but to use you to achieve their ulterior motives instead…”
“Second, the people from the Nonagon. You have a grudge against Cooper Berry, so his intent to kill you is greater…”
“Third…” Fennel did not continue but frowned.
Philip’s face darkened and said, “Who’s the third?”
Fennel said, “This is the last thing I want. Someone in Cochly Mountain wants you dead. If that’s the case, it means that someone in Cochly Mountain has already collaborated with the enemy, or those lurking in the dark may not be one of our kind…”
Hiss!
Hearing this, Philip frowned. He shared the same thought. If that was really the case, things would be much trickier.
That was because it would mean that there were foreign enemies within Cochly Mountain, or there was an enemy who might be the same as Fitzgerald Hale, from the other shore. The latter was the last thing that Philip wanted to see.
If the last possibility was the case, this problem would be huge.
It meant that more existences from the other shore were hiding in this world, plotting some scheme that was enough to wreak havoc on the human race.
“I thought of this too, but. what do you think are the chances?” Philip’s eyes darkened.
Fennel shook his head and said, “I can’t say for sure, but this situation isn’t impossible. With Fitzgerald Hale as an example, the probability of other existences from the other shore in this world has increased dramatically. We can only confirm our speculations when we enter the main city.”
Philip nodded.

The next day.
Philip and his party crossed the vast snow-capped mountains and finally arrived at the main city. Outside the main city gate, Commander Greene and the five marquises were already waiting for them.
When Philip and the others finally appeared, the five marquises smiled and said, “We’ve been waiting for a day.”
Philip stepped forward and said, “Gentlemen, we meet again.”
The five marquises smiled and said, “Please dispense with the formalities, Young Patriarch Clarke.”
After saying that, they looked at Janike behind Philip and said, “You’re too reckless. Your sudden departure has almost caused a catastrophe. Do you know that?”
Janike looked aggrieved, stepped forward, and said, “Grandpas, I’m back now, aren’t I?”
The five marquises looked at Janike dotingly and said to Philip and the others, “Follow us into the city. You’re safe here.”
Philip smiled and glanced at Fennel.
He was confused. He thought it would be very difficult to enter the city, but now it seemed that the five marquises had been waiting for them.
Fennel shook his head, indicating to Philip not to alert the enemy.
Soon, they entered the city.
The main city of Cochly Mountain was not that big, with only several office buildings and facilities. There were some guards stationed nearby, and a few advanced combat weapons. There were dozens of building facilities, restaurants and bistros, and several recreational facilities that could be considered quite complete.
After the five marquises brought Philip and the others into the main city, there was no mention of the previous assassination attempts at all as if they did not know about it.
They followed the five marquises and watched as Janike entered an office building.
“Philip, I’ll look for you in a few days,” Janike reluctantly waved at Philip and the others before favonovel.com turned around and followed the staff in.
At the door, aside from Philip and the others, only Owen Greene and some of his guards remained.
The five marquises had already left. After all, they had more important things to do than entertain Philip.
“Young Patriarch Clarke, we’ve made your lodging arrangements. Please come with me,” Owen said with a smile.
Philip nodded and followed Owen to a nearby training camp. Before entering, they felt the indifference and killing intent of everyone in this training camp.
