As soon as Philip finished speaking, someone laughed and said, “If you want to turn back now, I can only say that
you’re too naive!”
Philip turned around abruptly and saw the captain of First Team from Arlene Shannon’s family!
“It’s you…” Philip was startled.
The captain smiled and said to Philip, “It’s me alright. I’ve been planning for years in the Shannon family, just
waiting for this opportunity!”
Philip immediately realized. This captain was a dark elemental practitioner. Now that he found this dark elemental
mine, he would never let it slip through his fingers.
“So you mobilized so many people to ambush us just to occupy this dark elemental mine?”

“You know too much. I wanted to spare your lives at first, but now, it seems…”
Before he could finish speaking, Philip saw Cougar and the others.
“Now it seems that you can’t occupy this dark elemental mine after all.”
Philip laughed mockingly. Not only Cougar but Lorna was here too. He chuckled at the sight of them. It seemed that
Cougar and the others were not too stupid after all.
Philip jumped so high just now because he wanted Cougar and the others to see him.
Coupled with the chain explosions of the traps just now, if Cougar and the others still could not find him, then they
would be left to their own devices.
“Philip, good on you. If you hadn’t made such a big commotion, we wouldn’t have found this place!” Cougar walked
up and patted Philip lightly on the shoulder.
A stern look flashed across the captain’s face at this time.
“Kid, I’ll remember this. Let’s settle the score next time!” The captain snorted coldly and said into his
communicator, “Patriarch, I found the mine’s location, but we’re now surrounded by Cougar Squad and the Finn
family!”
Philip immediately knew that the captain would live for now.
Since he had contacted the patriarch, it meant that he had given up the idea of occupying this mine. Moreover,
seeing that Cougar and the others remained motionless, they were obviously afraid of the patriarch of the Shannon
family.
Philip shook his head and said to Cougar, “Commander, Cougar Squad has lost so many comrades. Are we just
going to forget it?”

At this point, Philip glanced at Cougar Squad.
The number of members had been significantly reduced. However, Cougar’s face was grim, and he did not say
anything.
Philip knew that Cougar Squad had lost a lot of people this time, but the Shannon family’s power was simply too
great. He could not deal with them even if he wanted to.
Since that was the case, they could only ask for more compensation, and Philip was aware of that too. Thus, when
he said that, it was to allow Cougar to put forth better demands. It could also allow other members of Cougar
Squad to better affiliate with his team members.
Although Philip knew he could not stay in Cougar Squad forever, Leopard and the others were different.
They needed to go through a long growth process, so they had to stay in Cougar Squad for a while.
