This confrontation caused the temperature in the lobby to plummet by more than 10 degrees!
Everyone could feel the sparks in the air.
The bodyguards brought by Dragon King Well were fully prepared for battle and put their hands on their waists. Fennel and the others also stared at these bodyguards solemnly.
In the end, Dragon King Well chuckled and said, “As expected of the young patriarch of the Clarke family. You’re bold and assertive. I hope you can still have such confidence when we meet next time.”
Philip smiled lightly and said, “I hope that you can still be a Dragon King when we meet again too.”
With that said, Dragon King Well turned to leave with his people. However, when he walked to the door, Dragon King Well said meaningfully, “If you want to know the base of the Lovelace family in Mystic City, bring Dumbo Lane to exchange for the information. I welcome you anytime.”
After that, Dragon King Well left with his people.
Philip stood in the lobby and stared at the departing figures with a frown. Dragon King Well’s last remark dropped like a bombshell!
Did he know the base of the Lovelace family in Mystic City?
Fennel walked over and said, “It seems that Dragon King Well came prepared. He actually knows about the base of the Lovelace family in Mystic City. What will you do? Let Dumbo go?”
Philip took a deep breath and said gravely, “Contact Aaron and tell him to bring Dumbo here first.”
Fennel nodded.
***
In the base dungeon where Aaron was stationed, Dumbo and his men were locked in the dungeon. They were covered in mud water, and they shouted all day long.
“Aaron Dole! Arresting me is equivalent to messing with Dragon King Well! Do you know what the consequences are? Hurry up and let go of me! Otherwise, I’ll kill you the moment I get out!”
Philip walked over. His eyes were indifferent, and his hands were in his trouser pockets.
Seeing Philip, Dumbo frowned and stammered, “W-What do you want?”
Philip sneered and said, “Don’t be nervous. I’m here to let you go.”
“Let me go?” Dumbo was taken aback, full of disbelief.
He initially thought that Aaron wanted to let him go because he was afraid of Dragon King Well’s reputation. Now that Philip said he could go, it sounded like a conspiracy no matter how he looked at it. Thus, Dumbo turned to return to the dungeon. He said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, don’t think of using me. I’d rather stay in the dungeon and be comfortable.”
With a signal from Philip, two guards with guns grabbed hold of Dumbo.
