Back to Philip. He returned to the hotel and found that Wynn had fallen asleep. Thus, he sat on the sofa, took out the two phoenix feather pendants, and started studying them.
The fiery red phoenix feather pendants had obscure and incomprehensible patterns on them. From the looks of it, they both really were just jade pendants. Nothing unusual could be seen from them.
What kind of existence was the door?
What role did the Nonagon play, and was his mother’s accident related to the Nonagon?
Philip was skeptical. Originally, he had targeted the former supreme, but now, it seemed that the stakes were more complicated than he imagined!
Was there something deeper going on between the former supreme and the Nonagon?
Philip sat on the sofa and looked at the pendants for a while. Then, a gentle voice sounded behind him. A tender hand pressed on his shoulder and the woman asked gently, “What’s wrong? What are you thinking about?”
Philip touched the small hand on his shoulder, looked sideways at Wynn who was wearing a jacket, and said, “Nothing, I just have something on my mind. Why are you up?”
Wynn smiled and was pulled by Philip to sit next to him. She said, “Seeing you awake, I got worried about you. Can you tell me what happened? Maybe I can help you think of some ideas.”
Philip held Wynn’s soft and small hand. Looking at her delicate face, he shook his head and said, “It’s nothing. Don’t worry, I can handle it.”
It was better not to tell Wynn about certain things, lest she worried.
Moreover, Philip was also unsure about the matter regarding the former supreme and the Nonagon. He could not involve Wynn in it.
If Wynn got involved, he was afraid things would not end well.
Seeing that Philip did not want to say anything, Wynn did not continue asking.
The next day, Philip left the hotel early in the morning. Victor Bell had called him, saying that Kelsey was looking for him at the hotel where Connor Clarke and the others were being detained.
Philip sneered inwardly. Kelsey was really capable to have found the hotel his family was being held in.
Kelsey snorted coldly and raised his eyebrows, saying, “Philip, don’t try to scare me. I’m here today for one thing only. Hurry and let my family go. Or else, the guards from the branch family behind me will barge in!”
Kelsey’s face was triumphant. He had been preparing for this day, so naturally, he would not be afraid of Philip.
Yesterday was an unexpected defeat. He just had not expected Philip to be so strong handed and deal with him head on.
Today, he specially transferred all the people arranged by the branch family in Uppercreek just to exert pressure on Philip and force him to release his family.
As for yesterday’s shameful incident, he dared not tell the branch family. Otherwise, he would be disgraced.
Philip smiled coldly, glanced at the people behind Kelsey, and said, “Wow, you’re well prepared this time and brought so many people with you. Well done, Kelsey Clarke. This is much better than yesterday.”
Upon hearing this, Kelsey clenched his fists bitterly!
