Philip’s face darkened. He looked as Angus left and took a deep breath.
What existence was the Heavenly Court exactly?
Fennel and the others rushed in anxiously and said, “What’s up? What did that old man want?”
“He wants me to cooperate with them,” Philip replied.
“What did you say?” Fennel asked.
“I turned him down,” Philip said.
Fennel frowned and said, “Actually, you shouldn‘t refuse so decisively. After all, the Heavenly Court has its strengths. Even if this isn’t sincere cooperation, it’s not bad to have a backup partner.”
Philip sighed and said, “I know what you mean, but I’m not keen on the Heavenly Court. Forget it, let’s go…”
Fennel and the others nodded. Soon, they got into a snow jeep and were about to leave Cochly Mountain.
The five marquises stood at the top of the snow-capped mountains and looked at them from a distance.
Marquis Fulmore stood with his hands behind his back and said, “How far do you think he can grow?”
“I don’t know, but he won’t be less than his father,” one of the marquises said.
“I hope we have enough time to last until his return,” Marquis Fulmore sighed.
***
Soon, Philip and his gang left the snowy Cochly Mountain.
They boarded a private plane and returned to Riverdale. However, Philip only stayed in Riverdale for half a day and formally warned Martin and Bernard Johnston.
Riverdale was on lockdown on this day. Martin and Bernard knew Philip’s true identity and were scared to death.
