Was it just because of one request from him? Even the Upperglade Chamber of Commerce Alliance had to follow his orders? Terrifying! On the other side of the phone, Hoyt sneered and said, “Jameson, you refuse to accept it? Do you f*cking know who founded the Upperglade Chamber of Commerce Alliance?” Hoyt almost roared his words. Jameson trembled in fright and asked weakly, “Who?” “It’s the Young Master Clarke who’s standing in front of you right now!” Hoyt guessed that Philip must be standing with Jameson now, so he shouted directly into the phone! F*cking idiot! This was his comeuppance! Over here, Jameson was petrified on the spot. His eyes were full of disbelief and panic! The Upperglade Chamber of Commerce Alliance was actually founded by Young Master Clarke?! How could that be? Jameson was completely stunned! At this moment, Jameson’s cell phone rang. After he answered it tremblingly, he heard an anxious voice on the other end of the phone. “Patriarch, som
“Jameson Gold, why are you calling me?” The voice on the other end of the phone was slightly low but sounded very oppressive. “Patriarch Larson, the Gold family is facing bankruptcy and it’s caused by a junior!” Jameson looked flustered and nervous at the moment. “What? Didn’t you mention the Larson family of Fernvale?” “I did, but they’re not taking the Larson family seriously,” Jameson said again. There was a stunned silence on the other end of the phone, and immediately, with a wave of anger, he shouted, “Who is so bold and dares to disregard the Larson family of Fernvale?!” Jameson immediately replied, “It’s a guy by the name of Philip Clarke.” Click! The phone was hung up immediately. Before Jameson could say any further, he stared at the phone with dazed eyes. He continued, “Hello, Patriarch Larson?” What happened? The call got interrupted? Was the signal bad? At this moment, Jameson was like a cat on a hot tin roof. He was very anxious. He called back
Here, after Philip left the front hall, Seamus caught up to him not long after he went out and respectfully said, “Young Master Clarke, things with the Hull family are almost settled. The old master told me to check with you how to deal with this thing.” With that said, Seamus took out a small brocade box and handed it to Philip. Philip glanced at Seamus, took the small brocade box, and opened it. It was a piece of green jade, obviously a broken fragment due to the sharp corners and edges. “What is this?” Philip asked in puzzlement. Seamus hurriedly turned the jade over and gestured. “Young Master Clarke, look at this.” Philip looked at it, and there was a word engraved on the back of the jade. Although it was not complete, it was vaguely recognizable, forming the word ‘Larson’. “Is this the only piece you could find?” Philip asked. Seamus nodded and said, “We found this in Colin’s room when cleaning out the Hull family’s mansion. The old master told me to hand this to
He smoked a cigarette, picked up the portfolio, and opened the seal. He saw a picture of his sister Hannah at the age of seven or eight. There was also detailed investigation data and many pictures attached. They were pictures of Hannah from the age of seven or eight, to the photo of the accident. Then, he saw photos of her when she was about 12 or 13 years old with a face full of fear and trepidation. At 15 or 16 years old, the young girl was shyly making a victory pose at the camera. At last, he saw the photo of the beautiful girl when she was 20. Philip’s hands trembled more as his eyes became moist. After so many years, the guilt in Philip's heart was infinitely magnified at this moment. “She… is really alive?” Philip looked at the photo of 20-year-old Hannah in his hand, his eyes already very moist. Rick hummed and said, “Alive.” After getting a positive answer, Philip could not speak for a while. He was very calm. No agitation could be seen at all. However, at
The next day, the two booked air tickets and flew directly from Riverdale to Uppercreek. After landing, Philip arranged for Wynn to go to the hotel first. After all, she was pregnant and not suitable for long-distance travel. In the afternoon, Philip left the hotel and went to Merry Orphanage as specified on the address alone. At the entrance of the orphanage, Philip raised his eyebrows and took a few glances before walking to the guardhouse. “Mister, is this Merry Orphanage?” Philip handed a cigarette to the old security guard. The old security guard first glanced at Philip, and not a minute later, he grabbed a baton from the guardhouse before rushing out and shouting, “Go away! Villains like you come here every day. With me around, don’t even think about tearing this orphanage down!” Philip was taken aback and hurriedly explained, “Mister, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not from the demolition team. I’m here to look for someone.” The baton in the guard’s arm fell. He looke
With a sense of anxiety, Philip gently pushed open the door. A scene entered his eyes. A beautiful silhouette with an exquisite back and a graceful figure had her arms raised. She was pulling up the big waves of her hair while putting on a white shirt and a fiery red professional skirt. Such an enchanting figure! As if realizing that the door had been pushed open, the woman hurriedly clasped the buttons on her chest and turned her head to glance in the direction of the door. She asked angrily, “Who’s there?” Philip was stunned! “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to!” Philip apologized in a hurry, shut the door, and stood there while gasping for breath. He could not react for a long time. Awkward! A few minutes later. The door was pushed open again from the inside and Philip turned around, wanting to apologize. Smack! Suddenly, he was slapped in the face. It was followed by a fragrant breeze! “Who allowed you to barge in? Who are you?” The woman looked very dissatisfi
However, immediately afterward, there was the cry of a child, the violent shouts of men, and the sounds of things being smashed in the orphanage. “Tell that Clarke chick to get out here! If she doesn’t sign the agreement today, we’ll smash this horrible place!” “Hurry up! Beauty Thomson, call your President Clarke to get here at once! Otherwise, these children will suffer!” Ivy looked at the swaggering hooligans in front of her. She was holding two children in her arms while hiding behind her was a group of parentless orphans. She shouted angrily, “You b*stards! Our President Clarke has already said she won’t sign it!” “Won’t sign?” The man in the lead was angry. With dragons and tigers tattooed on his neck and arms, he was a burly man. His name was Geoff. He was quite well-known in this area. He was a man who could do anything, and he had done some time on several occasions. Bang! He kicked over some playground facilities before raising the baseball bat in his hand a
In an instant, the scene fell silent. Geoff frowned as he looked at Philip coldly and laughed. “Damn! What nonsense are you talking about?” He laughed! Was this kid not right in the head? He could even spout such brazen remarks. Did he just tell Geoff to apologize? The goons around also laughed uproariously. “Moron! Why don’t you find out who Geoff is first? How dare you make him apologize?! Are you stupid?” “Hahaha, he’s probably an idiot who wants to be the hero.” “Geoff, this kid doesn’t respect you. Break his legs.” The bunch of swaggering goons was looking at Philip sarcastically at this moment, not paying any heed to him at all. After all, they were in Geoff’s territory. Philip frowned slightly as he looked at this group of people, contemplating something in his mind. “Brother, where are you from, acting so arrogantly here? Give us a name so we know who we’re dealing with.” Geoff rubbed his wrist that was released by Philip and asked with disdain and a
“He lost his family when their enemies sought revenge while he was very young, so he's quite pitiful in a way.” Philip was not concerned about it. The life story of a loser had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Bryce was clearly up to no good. Getting to know him was a waste of time. “I found all the information he researched. To be honest, I’d think highly of him if he weren't up to no good.” Rabbit waved his paw smugly. He had looked through Bryce’s things and knew exactly what he had researched. Philip looked at a bottle of potion and could tell everything at a glance. “He’s a genius, indeed, but there’s no saving someone with bad intentions.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Bryce could only blame his bad luck for encountering them today. Carlos quickly took care of Bryce. There was no point in keeping such an evil villain. There was no need to be charitable in this situation. Adam looked at the room and sighed helplessly at Bryce’s unfortunate end. Although he had
Philip was curious about this situation. Since he could not get any information from the stubborn hooded man, he would find out indirectly. “That’s enough. Take him away. He has no value to us anyway. It's better to send him away.,” Philip said with disdain and did not take him seriously at all. The hooded man was shocked to hear that Philip was sending him away. He was nervous and afraid that Philip would do something to him. Although he was selfish and unreasonable, he was also a coward and afraid of death. Everyone sighed helplessly at his mournful wails. Adam closed his eyes, unwilling to get involved. Seeing this, Philip believed that Adam was unwilling to pay attention to his nephew, but he was still curious. If they were closely related, why would this guy's family sever all ties with Adam? It was advantageous to be on good terms with Adam. Not only would they receive guidance on practice, but they could also listen to his lectures from time to time. For example,
Philip and the old monk greeted each other happily as if they were old friends. Carlos was surprised to see Philip on such good terms with the high and mighty old monk. This was something he had never even dared to dream about. It was unbelievable that he could sit and drink happily with the old monk one day. “Let me introduce my friends.” Philip calmly introduced everyone around him, ignoring Carlos’ anxiety. Carlos stood up when he saw the old monk. “Hello, my name is Carlos. I admire you very much. I never thought that I'd be able to meet you one day. It’s my honor.” Carlos was happy and excited to get more perks than the guild leader. The old monk was quite friendly. After greeting Carlos with a smile, he looked at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “I want to find out if you know someone.” After saying this, Philip asked Carlos to bring the hooded man out. The guy was tied up tightly and looked pitiful. More importantly, his clothes had been stripped off,
The hooded man woke up very soon, and he could not believe that Philip caught him. “What's going on? How did you catch me? This is impossible.” He was very confident in himself and knew that no one could catch him so easily, but reality had just proven him wrong. He had no choice but to believe it. “What's impossible? You underestimate me too much!” Rabbit snapped furiously. “What’s your name?” Philip stared at the man curiously. He had a feeling that this person was the same as the old monk. “Rabbit, call the old monk over. I want to speak to him. He may not know you, so you need to tell him who you are.” After interrogating this man, Philip wanted to speak to the old monk and find out his opinion about this hooded man. Since the two gave him the same feeling, they had to be connected somehow. Rabbit hopped over to find the old monk. He knew that the old monk was the best referral for this matter because he was very powerful and knowledgeable. The old monk was resting
On the other hand, Lincoln was shocked to find that Hogster was dead. Lincoln had been watching the situation and knew that Philip was a powerful person. Everything was most likely related to Philip. However, he never thought that Philip could make people stronger. He had heard of some special circumstances that could improve someone’s strength. He had roughly guessed the implications but never paid much attention to the matter. In his opinion, the Hexa Guild was already ruined. If he wanted to save the guild, he had to get rid of Alain and his people. Lincoln had lost trust in the guild. If he had not left his seclusion by chance, he would not have bothered about anything. “Forget it. Stop throwing your weight around. Since your son died a tragic death, I won’t make things difficult for you,” Carlos said in disdain.He knew what Alain had done, so he did not have a good impression of him. Although his remark sounded a little hurtful, it felt good to say it. The other guil
“What do we do with him?” Carlos asked. He wanted to skin the hooded man alive. Rabbit bared his teeth. “Kill him! Take off his clothes and hang him outside for everyone to see!” At this time, Alain finally noticed the commotion on this side. They were very noisy, so everyone kept looking over, trying to see what happened. Alain saw a familiar man lying on the ground. “What’s going on?” He walked over for a closer look and saw the hooded man! “What’s this? How could this happen?” Alain was dumbfounded. The onlookers had been watching, so they knew the situation. “What happened?” Alain asked in agony, wondering what happened. A kind onlooker explained, “Oh, don’t you know? That rabbit knocked the hooded man out!” Alain was taken aback by that remark. “How is that possible?” Alain was full of disbelief and thought someone had done something behind the scenes. Although he knew that the rabbit was powerful, he did not think it was strong enough to deal with the hooded
“You went too far! I’m well-respected wherever I go. How dare you treat me as a pet?” Although Rabbit had lost his memories after turning into an inanimate puppet, he could still deduce what had happened from Philip’s remarks. The hooded man was embarrassed to hear a rabbit reprimanding him. “If I can take you as my pet, that’s just a testament to my ability. If Philip couldn’t control you, what’s the big deal if I took you for my own?” The hooded man had always seen Rabbit as a pet, never a friend. Rabbit’s only purpose was to entertain him and fight for him. “Philip, leave this guy to me.” Rabbit was eager to take care of this guy. Carlos glared at the hooded man, certain that he had never seen him before. The hooded man also turned his attention to Carlos. From the match earlier, he knew that Carlos was from the Celestial Palace. In that case, he would have no reservations. He wanted to get to know someone from the Celestial Palace anyway. He ignored Philip and Rabbit
“What?” Carlos suddenly felt that maybe that rabbit in the hooded man's arms was Philip’s pet. “Stay here. I’ll take a closer look. I have a feeling that the guy is more than meets the eye. I think he was the one sneaking around my house.” After saying this, Philip walked over briskly. He had never seen such an arrogant thief. The guy was bold enough to appear in public after stealing someone’s rabbit. “Did you steal that rabbit from me?” Philip approached that man and asked solemnly without beating about the bush. The hooded man was taken aback by Philip's direct approach. “When did you appear behind me?” The hooded man was horrified to know that someone had snuck up behind him without his knowledge. It was as if Philip was immaterial. Feeling Philip's strength, the hooded man dared not say another word. He thought he was undefeatable, which was why he decided to watch the fun in person, but he got careless. “Are you saying that this rabbit belongs to you? Why don’t you
Jeff sneered at this scene and knew that it was time for payback. He did not plan to kill Hogster at first. After all, he was the young heir of a guild and represented the Hexa Guild. However, Hogster had pissed him off thoroughly. He had to kill Hogster at all costs. Thinking of this, Jeff raised the sword in his hand and stabbed Hogster. With that, everything was over. Alain closed his eyes at this scene. He shook his head in helpless agony. Due to the technique that he practiced, he could not have another child. Although he had been working hard to groom Hogster over the years, he had not stopped trying to get another child either. However, none of the women could get pregnant! Hogster was his only child so far. Unfortunately, his only son was dead. Under Jeff’s attack, he turned into dust and vanished without a trace! “How did things turn out this way?” Alain aged drastically all of a sudden and looked very haggard. The hooded man watched the scene warily, shocked
