Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded at the sudden appearance of these heavily armed combatants! Especially Vinci and Flint whose faces paled at this moment. They were experiencing tremors all over their bodies. Vinci’s expression was very dark, and her beautiful eyebrows were tightly twisted together! She never dreamed that in tiny Riverdale, there would be people who could mobilize fully armed combatants! Even the Hull family had no right to do so! How could this be? Could it be that the young man in front of her was really not that simple?! This was Vinci’s guess and fear. As for Flint, his mind went completely blank while his eyes were filled with shock. Throughout his life, the only time he saw a few heavily armed combatants participating in a fight was because of the Lowell family! Now, it was happening again right before his eyes! This time, it was because of another man! Flint was stunned! He always thought that Philip was just trash. Even if he had so
At this moment, Vinci’s fiancé, Seamus Lowell, the most outstanding talent from the Lowell family's younger generation, was negotiating business with some people in a high-end club in Riverdale. After receiving a call from Vinci, Seamus suddenly raised his brows. His face darkened when he heard that someone was not giving the Hull family any respect. “Disrespecting the Hull family? Does the other party come from a big background?” Seamus, in a white suit, asked slightly in surprise. There were people who dared to do this to the Hull family? A little Riverdale could produce such a character? Then, Seamus asked again, “Does the other party know that you’re my fiancée?” “I told them, but they’re still not buying it,” Vinci said aggrievedly. This woman really could act. Instantly, Seamus, who was on the other end of the phone, became furious. He shouted in a deep voice, “What? They’re not even respecting the Lowell family now? F*ck! Who dares to be so arrogant?!” “I don’t k
When Seamus saw the man standing in front of him at the moment, his originally arrogant demeanor immediately deflated while his face turned green. He did not expect to run into Philip Clarke in this tiny Riverdale! Damn it! Could it be that he was the one Vinci provoked? In an instant, a jumble of thoughts crossed Seamus’ mind. On Vinci's side, she immediately twisted her hips and walked toward Seamus coquettishly when she saw him coming. She took his arm and cried out, “Hubby, you’re finally here! This is the kid who’s not giving the Hull family any respect, let alone the Lowell family. He even kept saying that he’s going to cripple my brother!” Vinci’s face at this moment was very arrogant and domineering. Her look and demeanor revealed her dominance as the lady and fiancée of a wealthy family. Hehe. Anyone who fought against her deserved a miserable death! “Brother-in-law Seamus, you must take revenge for me. Look at me. He did this to me!” Flint wailed and sob
In the brief meeting that year, he also had the honor to exchange a few words with Philip. It was precisely because of that few words and Philip praising him for being capable that his career developed progressively in the next few years! The Lowell family also encountered an unprecedented opportunity for development. In one fell swoop, they rose to the top among the country's largest family companies and became one of the giants.In other words, Seamus Lowell as well as the Lowell family were what they were today because of the few words from Philip Clarke!At this moment, this stupid fiancée of his actually wanted to lay a hand on the great benefactor of the Lowell family!She was courting death! Seamus was so furious that his entire face went green! Vinci stared at Seamus with a stunned look. In front of so many people, her fiancé had hit her just to protect an ignorant and stinking man! “Seamus Lowell, what are you doing? I’m your fiancée! You actually hit me because
When Flint saw Seamus walking toward him with a grim look, he immediately panicked. He said in horror, “Seamus, what are you going to do? No, I’m your brother-in-law, the heir of the Hull family. You can’t beat me because of that wretch!” Flint was witnessing his future brother-in-law going berserk. He was like the devil incarnate! Seamus just looked at Flint coldly and rolled up his sleeves, saying, “Flint, since you made a mistake and provoked Young Master Clarke, you should know what your fate is!” With that said, Seamus went up and kicked Flint in the heart! This kick was forcefully heavy and even more ruthless than Theo’s before. It was a kick that could take someone’s life! A scream of pain. Flint flew out again! There was a cracking sound. This time, his leg was broken again! Flint’s face was suddenly flushed as his expression became contorted from the pain. “Seamus, don’t, I was wrong. I was really wrong.” Flint begged for mercy. He was scared. His
However... Out of Vinci’s expectation, Seamus waved his hand and said, “Vinci Hull, I’m sorry. Even if we go to war with the Hull family, I won’t show any mercy today. Your brother should have been taught a lesson long ago. This time, by provoking Young Master Clarke, it’s entirely his fault. He's simply looking for death!” “Who the hell is he? What f*cking Young Master Clarke? I don't know him! I’m saying this today. The Hull family, against the Lowell family and this bullsh*t Young Master Clarke, will fight to the end!” Having said that, Vinci rushed over and knelt by her brother’s side, looking at him lovingly. Flint was full of regret and said, “Vinci, it hurts.” Vinci’s eyes were red. She turned to look at Seamus and asked, “Can we leave now?” Seamus did not answer but looked at Philip instead. He dared not decide on his behalf. Standing with his hands behind his back, Philip looked at the disheveled Flint and said, “Yes.” As soon as his voice fell, Vinci immedia
The butler asked again with uncertainty, “Young Master, do you really want to inform the people of the Lowell family now? It's midnight now. Besides, the old master has already fallen asleep. I'm afraid it isn’t appropriate for you to disturb him at this time.” However, out of the butler’s expectations... Seamus faintly glanced at the main entrance of the Lowell family and said directly in a serious tone, “Yes! Immediately notify all the persons in charge of the Lowell family, including the ones outside, to come back as soon as possible. I’ll invite the old master now.” Seamus’ expression was very serious, unlike he was joking. The butler’s heart started to tremble. He had never seen such a serious expression on his young master's face. It was as if something big was going to happen. “Young Master, did something happen?” the butler asked again in shock. As Seamus walked to the small courtyard behind the hall, he replied, “Don't ask so many questions. Hurry up! Our time is
Mr. Gunn walked through the middle hall to the inner courtyard, took off his shoes, and walked to the soft couch in the inner hall. He knelt and said softly to the old man in a white shirt lying on the soft couch, “Master, Seamus requests for a meeting. He has something important to report.” After a while, the old man on the soft couch got up with the help of the maid. He arched his back and lifted his head that was full of silver hair. His face had also aged, looking very weak and old. It was the old master of the Lowell family, Knox Lowell! Knox was nearly 80 years old! He had maintained this half-dead look for more than ten years, deceiving many opponents and defeating many rivals. There were rumors from the outside world. They said that the old master of the Lowell family was the undead Napoleon Bonaparte who silently killed many commercial opponents! However, no one knew that the status of the Lowell family today was dependent on one person. Without that person’s a
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
Philip was not afraid at all. He knew that someone would target him, but they were just losers. They might be influential, but they were nothing in his eyes. He did not want to cause trouble, but it did not mean he would let anyone insult him. Philip and the others quickly found a tavern that looked quite high-end. “This place looks interesting.” Philip found the various decorations quite novel and knew it would not be cheap. “I don’t think it’s so easy to find any important information here. Just look at the customers and you’ll know that we’ll spend a bomb,” Carlos marveled at the price tag. Adam looked at the menu curiously and was quickly surprised to see how expensive it was for a pot of tea. “A pot of tea costs thousands of crystals?” Adam almost had a meltdown at the price. “Look at the requirements stated on the menu. Each person has to order a minimum of a pot of tea. Anything less than that and we’re not welcomed.” Adam shook his head helplessly and suddenly
“It’ll take a long time for this little fox to become a human. I think you would've found your other half before that happened.” After exchanging some pleasantries, Philip bade farewell to the shopkeeper and left without further ado. They had to hurry up to find the person Adam was looking for.… Meanwhile, Luther hurried back home unhappily. He never dreamed that he would suffer such humiliation one day. As soon as he returned home, a man greeted him. It was none other than his father, who doted on his son. “What's wrong?” He was surprised to see his son ignoring him. His son was always flashy and arrogant, so his behavior was quite unusual. Luther was in no mood to pay attention to his father. He returned to the room angrily without saying a word. “Guard, what’s going on? Did someone bully my son?” Luther's father, Klein, glared at the guard unhappily, blaming the guard for everything. The guard kneeled in fear and felt sorry for himself. “The young sir was brows
The shopkeeper was clearly relieved by Philip’s remark and direct approach. However, he was also embarrassed by Philip’s bluntness. He smiled at Philip awkwardly as an apology. “Why don’t you recommend a pet for my buddy? It should be a stronger one, preferably a combat type!” Philip glanced at Carlos. He knew that Carlos was too embarrassed to take the initiative. Carlos looked at Philip gratefully, letting out a shy chuckle. The shopkeeper recommended several pets to them. Carlos was dazzled by the sight and wanted them all. Adam looked at the scene with satisfaction. Although he had a high position, he did not have a decent pet either. It was difficult to have a pet in their world. With a wave of his hand, Philip generously bought a pet for each of them. At this time, Philip heard a whine from somewhere. He turned his head curiously and looked for the source of the sound. “What’s that noise?” Philip looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, unable to find the source of
Luther was at a loss for how to react. If the rabbit could speak, it had to be stronger than his pet. Although his pet was very powerful, it was just an ordinary creature that could understand some basic instructions and handle normal interactions. A talking pet was simply to die for. “Wow, how can that monster pet speak? It’s a force to be reckoned with.” Luther was shocked to see a talking pet. It was enviable to have such a powerful monster. Before this, he mocked the rabbit for not having any ability, but the tide had turned. He was almost going crazy with jealousy and wished that he could take the rabbit for himself. “I didn't bring my pet along, so I’m afraid I can’t show it to you. Losers like you don’t deserve to see my pet.” Luther acted full of snobbery and disdain, but he clutched his purse awkwardly. In fact, not only did he bring his pet out, but he had also been ready to show it off at any time. After all, his pet was very powerful and could grow bigger or sma
Philip was annoyed by the guy’s ridicule and simply wanted to keep a distance from him. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t want to pay attention to a loser.” After saying this, Philip could not wait to leave this disgusting place. He felt sick at the sight of the guy’s ugly face. Carlos lost the mood to watch the fun. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave. However, that guy was used to getting his way. He did not plan to let them leave in one piece. Anyone who offended him had to die. “Surround him. Don’t let him run away!” The man glared at Philip with disdain, sure that Philip would die. Philip was quickly surrounded by a large group of people. They were angry that Philip dared to go against their boss. “Who are you? Where did you come from? How dare you disobey our boss? Didn't he tell you to stop?” a guard yelled angrily. He was clearly a competent lackey, loudly accusing Philip as if he was going to stand up for his boss. “What are you looking at?
