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
The person on the other end of the phone was wearing loose black clothes and standing in the corner of the alley in the middle of the night smoking a cigarette. A little scarlet light could be seen between his fingers. “Okay, got it.” After that, the man hung up the phone before looking at the dim sky and crescent moon. The Hull family, Hull Chamber of Commerce. Alas, another oblivious existence insisted on provoking the young master. Half a day later, in a high-rise building that was more than 600 feet high in a country abroad. This building belonged to one company, the Hull Chamber of Commerce. At this moment, a man in a cyan suit and sunglasses stepped out of a black Mercedes-Benz on the street. He raised his head and glanced at the building in front of him with a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth. Then, he took off his sunglasses, put them in his chest pocket, and walked toward the door with long strides. The dormant chill made the foreign people all arou
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending the lark family’s grand ceremony of the century,” a man announced in the middle of the square, and the bride stood next to him with a happy smile on her face. If Adam was present, he would definitely recognize the bride as the woman he had been dreaming of over the years, Ashley Bay. A handsome man stood next to the bride. His every move was imposing and domineering. They looked like the perfect match. Everyone looked at this scene and blessed them happily. “After a series of careful selection, I finally found the most suitable husband for my daughter. This is an important event for the lark people!” The lark people had a high status, and everyone wanted to marry into this family. After many selections, the bridegroom finally won the bride’s hand in marriage. Over the years, countless men had flocked around Ashley. After observations from all aspects, this man fit all the criteria—so much so that Adam had long been forgotten.
“This boot records various information about the lark people that may be very important to you. I believe you’ll understand after reading it.” After saying this, Renee handed the boot to Adam. She was not a fool. She knew that Philip was not the person initiating the search. Although Adam always remained calm, he could not hide his eagerness at all. Adam looked at Renee gratefully and took the book and started reading it without further ado. The more he read, the more shocked he felt. In the end, he was full of disbelief as if he could not believe what he saw. “Is this for real?” Adam finished reading the boot quickly and handed it to Philip and Carlos. The other two flipped through the book curiously. Philip scowled. He could not tell whether the information was true or false. “Is it true that the lark people have such an ability? It's recorded in the book that they can create a world. That’s simply…” Carlos was puzzled. Only a very powerful being could create a world. Was
“Please tell me how to find them. I want to find out what’s going on, even if it's just to convince myself to give up.” Adam decided that he still wanted to find the other party. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it. If everything was a lost cause, he would give up. Hearing that, Renee seemed conflicted as if deciding whether to tell them everything. “It doesn’t do me any good to tell you this. Why should I take the risk for no reason? I do business. You need to pay a price for it,” Renee said with a smile. Philip laughed. The words sounded very familiar to him as if he said them before. He used to say such things when he was doing business just to bluff some dumb customers. “Of course, I know you do business. If you’re willing to tell us something, we can offer you something in return, whether money or other resources,” Philip said with calm confidence. No matter what the other party wanted, he could easily provide it. Renee smiled at Philip’s words. “It's
The woman seemed amused by Philip’s request. “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, I’m not a liar. Although my actions don’t seem aboveboard to you, I’m not a bad person.” The woman did not hide anything. She knew that Philip had seen through the secret of her singing. As the only man who discovered her secret, she admired Philip very much. She once vowed that she would marry the man who could resist the temptation of her singing. “By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Renee, and I'm an employee of Moon Tavern. My job is very simple, that is to bring in more profits to the tavern.” Renee seemed very sincere and told them everything about herself. “However, my method isn’t very aboveboard. You already know that I make profits by using my singing to attract customers.” Renee mentioned her secret frankly, and Philip was surprised by her honesty. “As for the secret between me and the lark people, I can tell you that they hate me so much because some
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Philip was all the more interested in this mysterious existence. He wanted to find out who they were to act so arrogantly. Obviously, the lark people were stronger than anyone could imagine. Ordinary people were afraid of this family no matter how powerful they were. Maybe the storyteller felt uncomfortable at the mention of this family, but he quickly left after a while. Philip and the others were disappointed that they could not find out the news they wanted. When they thought that they had to return in defeat, a woman appeared and looked at them calmly. The woman was wearing a veil on her face, making it impossible to see her appearance. The veil was quite an extraordinary item that could block various detections. However, Philip recognized her at a glance. She was the woman singing on the stage just now. She actually approached them. Things were getting more and more interesting. “What you want to know is taboo. Come with me if you want to fi
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
