Old Clarke was Philip’s only hope of rescuing his teammates now, so Philip could not let Cougar make a move.
However, Cougar was unwilling to let Old Clarke off just like that, so he said to Philip, “Philip, what do you think is a
better way to handle this?”
Philip pondered before he looked at Old Clarke and said, “Tell us who are the people behind you and what your
purpose for kidnapping them is.”
Old Clarke just smiled and pointed at Philip.
“The purpose is you, of course. You may not be aware of it, but someone has been eyeing you for a long time. They
just want to observe you for the time being, so they haven’t done anything to you yet.”

see them there, but it’s up to you whether you can save them.”
Old Clarke was about to head outside after speaking, but Philip would not let him go so easily.
Suddenly, Philip stepped forward and grabbed Old Clarke’s head. With a mighty punch, he broke one of Old Clarke’s
legs.
Old Clarke screamed, but before he could react, Philip broke his other leg.
Philip said to Old Clarke, “Don’t think you can threaten my teammates so blatantly! Now, let’s go to Square Cage
that you mentioned!”
After saying this, Philip dragged Old Clarke by his clothes and walked outside.
Cougar stopped him from behind and said anxiously to Philip, “Philip, do you know what place Square Cage is?”
Philip turned to glance at Cougar and said softly, “It doesn’t matter. As long as I can save my teammates, I have to
go there, come hell or high water!”
“Well said!” A voice suddenly rang at the door!
It was Lorna Finn!
She had arrived at Cougar Squad at some point and heard what Philip just said.
“I need to go to the middle floor too, so let me take you there!”
Philip frowned and glanced at Lorna. Without a word, he dragged Old Clarke who was about to pass out, and left.
Along the way, Philip found out about Square Cage by interrogating Old Clarke.
It was the bloodiest and cruelest existence on the middle floor, and everyone there was strong and vicious. They
kidnapped Philip’s people just to force him to enter Square Cage. Moreover, the people who controlled Square Cage

Philip was nothing more than a plaything to them. They wanted to see how long a person from the lower floor like
Philip could last in Square Cage.
The distance from the lower floor to the middle floor was not too far but required harsh conditions to enter. For
example, Philip and Lorna were now blocked at the entrance, especially since they had a crippled Old Clarke in tow.
A cold light flashed in Old Clarke’s eyes.
He grinned at Philip and said, “You still need me to enter the middle floor!”
After saying this, he turned on his communicator and scanned it at the entrance of the middle floor. There was a
flash of light at the entrance.
“We can enter the middle floor now. Philip, once we get to Square Cage, I shall settle the score with you for
breaking my legs!”
