Chapter 3067

“Hehehe…” Philip chuckled and said, “It’s okay. Of course, it’d be better if fewer people turn up to test

my strength.”

“Hahaha!” Owen laughed and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, you’re quite humorous. However, too

many people want to test you because they see you as a thorn in their sides or maybe highly sought

after…”

Philip frowned in confusion and asked, “What do you mean by that?”

Owen turned around to look at the defenses of Cochly Mountain displayed on the big electronic screen

and said, “Here, you won’t find any absolute friends, only absolute interests. Your arrival here has

ruined some people’s plans, so you’ll be seen as a thorn in their sides. Of course, many people also

welcome your arrival because they have their own objectives too, and you have what they want.”

Philip’s eyes were cold, and he asked suddenly, “Then which side do you belong to? Do you find me a

thorn in the side or otherwise?”

The atmosphere suddenly tensed.

Owen’s eyes flickered as he stared at Philip. He suddenly laughed, poured himself another drink, and

said, “Neither…”

Hearing that, Philip’ s frown relaxed a little, and he said, “Is there a third faction?”

Owen shook his head and said, “You’ve misunderstood. I don’t take sides because I have my duty,

which is to guard Cochly Mountain. As for the fight between the sides, it has nothing to do with me. I

don’t wish to get involved either.”

Philip understood, but he thought about it and asked, “Commander Greene, what would you do if one

of these forces threatened Cochly Mountain and your so-called guard duty one day?”

“Of course, I’ll give them a stern warning!” Owen said coldly, seemingly very angry.

“In that case, wouldn’t you become an aid to the other faction?” Philip said with a smile.

This remark startled Owen. He stared at Philip for a long time and finally said with a smile, “No one has

ever said this to me. You’re the first. I’ve thought about it before, but I haven’t found an answer. As far

as my duties are concerned, if I can’t stand neutral, I’ll inevitably become the enemy of one side and

aid of the other. I wonder if you have any good insight.”

Philip smiled and said, “I can’t say that l have an insight, but I do have a small suggestion.”

Owen signaled Philip to continue.

Philip said, “You don’t have to bother if anyone threatens Cochly Mountain. You only intervene when

one party takes action.”

Owen’s eyes narrowed as if he was considering Philip’s words. After a while, Owen said, “Your

suggestion is quite good…”

After saying this, Owen said, “Come with me. I’ll take you to meet someone.”

“Who?” Philip asked.

Owen said, “You’ll know later. Don’t worry, there’s no harm.”

Philip frowned and watched as Owen armed himself before he went down the stairs.

After thinking about it, Philip followed along the stairs and came to the bottom of the mountain where

Philip saw the light blue glow before.

There was actually a very large research institution at the bottom here. The main focus of the study

was on human modification.
