The two took a seat, and Anson accompanied him next to him. After a round of toast, Sam immediately broached the topic and said, “Mr. Clarke, this time, Soaring Real Estate Group has decided to set up a real estate company in Riverdale to expand our business there. When the time comes, we hope you can extend some help, Mr. Clarke.” If they could get some help from Philip, or rather, an investment, then the ten-year plan of Soaring Real Estate Group in Riverdale would face no problems at all! By itself, the Soaring Real Estate Group of Sam Cohen had a certain influence. In Uppercreek, it was one of the three giants in the real estate industry. However, Riverdale was different; its waters ran deep. Moreover, Philip was different, and the background he came from was different. Through Hoyt Luther, Sam already knew and understood this point deeply. He and Hoyt had been friends in private for many years, and naturally, they knew the true identity of Philip Clarke! When he wa
Philip’s eyes were cold as he shook his hand directly, brushing away Yolanda's arm. Smack! Philip responded in kind, slapping Yolanda’s face angrily while saying, “Yolanda Lee, that’s enough! You keep challenging my patience time and again! If not for the sake of our acquaintance, I’d have dealt with you a long time ago!” Every person had a limit. Philip Clarke was no exception! He had always kept a low profile and did not wish to cause any trouble most of the time, especially now that he was looking for his sister Hannah Clarke. He did not want news of his actions to be spread or to cause a sensation as it would only lead him to be noticed by people with ulterior motives. That was why he had been deliberately restraining his temper. However, Yolanda’s actions had crossed the limit! Yolanda was stunned, clutching her pretty face while staring at Philip in disbelief. “You... How dare you hit me?!” Yolanda’s eyes widened, and the anger in her heart surged. Why had she
“Hehe.” Gil sneered, taking a tissue from the side to cover his mouth and nose. His eyes were stern as he said, “What, a bankrupt young master like you wants to make a move against me?” Ludicrous! A useless and bankrupt young master dared to challenge him? He was simply courting death! The corners of Philip's mouth were slightly raised as a sneer appeared. He said, “You’ll find out.” Then, he raised his fist and threw it at Gil again. Gil’s eyes widened in fright and he quickly raised his hand to cover his face. He acted very arrogantly most of the time, but when it came to a fight, he was a weak chicken. “Stop! Who dares to touch Young Master Dean?!” At this time from the direction of the stairs, a group of men in security uniforms rushed in. All of them were big and burly men, each holding an anti-riot baton in their hand. The guy in the lead was the chief coach of the Dean family’s security guards, Sunny Howe, also known as Howie on the streets! Everyone in t
Mr. Clarke? Yolanda was also in a daze, her mind wandering. Philip… Why was he being addressed to as Mr. Clarke? Wait a minute! Gil’s heart trembled suddenly! This person was the chairman of Soaring Real Estate Group, Sam Cohen! Now, at this moment, Sam was here and he addressed that piece of trash as Mr. Clarke! Seeing Juan and Yolanda looking at him suspiciously, Philip's heart trembled. Oh no, if his identity was exposed in Uppercreek, the people keeping an eye on him in the dark would definitely investigate his purpose for coming here. At that time, it might cause unnecessary trouble or even cause harm to his sister! Philip must conceal it temporarily. Therefore, he stared at Sam coldly, and Sam stammered in fright with just one look. Sam was taken aback but understood quickly. Hoyt Luther had once explained to him that Mr. Clarke's identity must be kept secret. This was also the reason why he wanted to receive Philip in the private room upstairs, so Sam
However, at this moment, Gil had already been consumed by anger. He just wanted to teach Philip, this ignorant trash, a good lesson! Thus, he shouted arrogantly, “What are you afraid of? Are there things I can’t do in Uppercreek? So what if he’s Sam Cohen? This is Uppercreek, the land of the young. One Sam Cohen will be trampled under my shoes sooner or later!” Audacious! Outrageous! At this moment, Gil Dean had brought into full play the flippant temperament of a rich second-generation young master. On the opposite, Sam’s face was as dark as night. No one had ever dared to talk to him like this! “Rascal, what are you talking about? This is an outrage!” Suddenly, a gruff shout came from behind Gil’s group. Soon after, the group of people brought by Gil made a pathway automatically! It was a burly middle-aged man with an angular face. His pair of thick eyebrows were raised, and his face was full of anger. Wearing a gray suit, he came up and kicked Gil directly on his
Gil flew into a rage, jumped up, and pointed at Philip, saying angrily, “You want me to apologize to this scheming piece of waste? I refuse!” Smack! Gus slapped him mercilessly and asked with a cold face, “Why don’t you ask my hand if it agrees?” Thud! Gil directly fell on his knees! “Sorry, Philip, please forgive my recklessness!” Gil almost gritted his teeth and forced out each word. He was very upset and unwilling! Why should he apologize? Why was he being made to apologize to a useless person who was nothing? “Mr. Clarke, my son already knows his mistake. May I ask if you’re satisfied?” Gus asked with a grin. Philip’s face was calm, and the anger in his eyes had cooled down. He glanced at Gil, who was kneeling on the ground, and did not plan to pursue it anymore. After all, there were too many people around. Thus, Philip said, “Forget it.” Then, he stepped forward and left directly in front of Gil, Yolanda, and the others. Sam followed Philip and per
After leaving the orphanage, Philip came to Blossoms Park. This time, no one dared to stop Philip. Anson personally accompanied him and waited for more than an hour at the door of Janice’s villa. “Mr. Clarke, why do you come here every day? Are you a fan of Ms. Janice Clarke?” Anson could not help but ask. Philip shook his head and looked at the promotional poster at the door. It was his sister, as beautiful as an angel, looking very pure in a white dress and smiling cutely at the camera. “Yes.” Philip did not tell Anson his true identity. Anson smiled without comment and said, “Mr. Clarke, you’re really the most persistent fan I’ve ever met. Ms. Janice is a celebrity from Uppercreek. She just returned from abroad and is already the top artist of Leisure Entertainment. If you want to find her, Mr. Clarke, you can go to Leisure Entertainment.” These words reminded Philip of something. He turned around with a smile, patted Anson on the shoulder, and said, “You’re very goo
Philip was startled and happy. However, in an instant, anger appeared on his face again. Did that woman say she wanted to teach Janice a lesson just now? She was courting death! Philip immediately followed while Anson behind him also became anxious. He dialed a number and said a few words before quickly chasing after him. “Mr. Clarke, wait for me.” Here, Philip had followed Wendy to the front desk of Leisure Entertainment. Upon seeing Wendy, those good-looking front desk girls all lowered their heads in fear and respect, shouting in unison, “Master Jones.” For a woman to be called ‘Master’, it was enough to show that Wendy’s influence in this entertainment company ran deep! Wendy did not even look at those receptionists. She twisted her figure and walked in with the temperament of a queen. “Master Jones, wait a minute. Mr. Snell said he’s meeting clients and is not free to see you. Would you like to have a rest in the lounge first?” Seeing that Wendy was about to
“You must be referring to the lark people. What do you want with them? They're not to be trifled with. You’ll be in trouble if you mess with them.” Everyone was delighted to hear about the lark people. It was great that someone knew something. Adam was very excited to find a clue as soon as they arrived. He had thought it would take a lot of effort to find something, but reality proved otherwise. “The lark people can be regarded as the overlords here. You can find out about them easily. I'm just an ordinary old woman, so I can't tell you too much. You should approach other people if you want to find out more. Maybe you can find a storyteller. I’m sure they can tell you some very important information.” The old lady was clearly unwilling to disclose anything, so everyone was disappointed. In that case, they could not force her. “Thank you very much. At least you gave us an inkling about what to do. We wouldn’t know so many things if it weren't for you.” Adam thanked the old
“I heard that her family is quite complicated. They seem quite troublesome.” Hearing that, everyone wondered what Adam meant. It seemed that he would face problems in pursuing a relationship with this woman. Carlos looked at Adam awkwardly and sighed. “It doesn't matter. We don’t have to worry about that. Let's just take things one step at a time.” Rabbit calmly drifted around with Philip, feeling quite good. “What's there to worry about? I say the old monk has nothing better to do than worry about trivial matters. It’d be embarrassing if so many of us couldn’t bring a woman back.” Until now, Rabbit felt that the other party was just an ordinary woman, so he did not think that there was anything to worry about. They quickly joined the line to enter the city. To Philip's surprise, there was no entrance fee at all. Moreover, their appearance and attire looked no different from the others. Philip and his friends calmly entered the place, and Philip stood on guard. He had a
Philip felt helpless at the sight of this vast starry sky and suddenly felt that maybe coming here was not the right choice. They arrived without knowing anything about this place, so they might encounter various dangers. “I’m curious about the woman you've been looking for. She must be quite extraordinary,” Philip said curiously, baffled about this matter. Hearing that, Adam shook his head helplessly. He was really clueless about everything. “I only know that I can come here and find her with the key. I don’t even know where she is. We can only search aimlessly in this starry sky.” Philip was dumbfounded by Adam’s incompetence. “I thought we’d be teleported to her home or a fixed location, so I don’t know what’s the deal with this. I have a feeling that I’ve been tricked.” Adam sighed helplessly. “Let's just wander around. I’m sure we can find something somehow,” Carlos comforted Adam, but he was not optimistic about it either. He knew that they probably could not find the
Adam had to reevaluate Philip’s strength. He used to think that Philip was simply the best of his generation. Although powerful, he was not invincible. However, the ability to change certain orders and rules was not something that just anyone had. It would not be far-fetched to call Philip the chosen one favored by the heavens. Philip told Carlos to bury Bryce before forgetting about him. Carlos quickly handled his affairs, packed his bags, and got ready to set off with Philip. Adam also waited for Philip without much luggage on hand. Philip stuffed Rabbit into the Verge Tower space. He had to bring Rabbit along with him or the latter would be up to no good. “Rabbit, stay in Verge Tower and stop bothering me.” Rabbit was upset to hear that he had to stay in Verge Tower but still felt happy that Philip was willing to take him along. “Next, the two of you need to relax. I’ll wrap you with my energy. Don't try to resist or you’ll only end up hurting yourself,” Philip said.
“I have other important things to do. Don't worry. I’ll be back soon, so make sure you work hard during this time. I’ve given you all the pills you need. Whether you can make full use of them depends on you.” In Philip’s opinion, the Hexa Guild could not do anything anymore, so there was no worry about them. After much deliberation, Jamie nodded. Philip did not belong to his guild, so he could hardly stop Philip from leaving. Moreover, Philip’s pill supply was already a great help to them. It would be annoying if Jamie asked for more. “No problem. Where are you going next? Do you need my help? I’ll do my best to help you.” The Celestial Palace was powerful enough for Jamie to say such things. Philip shook his head. He would be traveling with Adam next, and his strength was incredible. It was best for them to leave together. “It’s okay. I have everything prepared. Just do your best in the competition and don’t allow the Hexa Guild to take the upper hand.” Now that the Cele
“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
