Philip said flatly, “Have you laughed enough? Can you just say if this suggestion will work?” Randolph choked from laughter. A female attendant next to him came over and patted his chest. Randolph smiled and said, “Yes, if you’re capable, you can win back what she lost to me. If you can do that, I’ll let this b*tch go. But, if you lose, what do I get? Don't say I’m looking down on you. With your looks, I don’t think I can even get 50,000 if I sell you off.” Philip scratched his head. “Yes, I have no money… In that case, I’ll bet on one of my hands.” “Mr. Clarke!” “You can’t do this, Mr. Clarke!” “I have money! You can take it! You can’t place such a bet!” Victor and the others said anxiously. The most important thing in the casino was the rules. As long as the two parties made a bet, the terms must be met. It was just like what had happened to Yolanda today. Since she had agreed with Randolph in advance that she would undress if she lost, even Victor Bell could not say
When Victor and the others saw the foreigner folding, they quietly breathed a sigh of relief. They were really holding their breaths for Philip earlier. Yolanda’s face also relaxed a little. Philip smiled and said, “Didn’t you say you could beat me if you drew a straight? Why did you fold?” The foreigner grunted. At the casino, luck was still very important at the beginning. Even an expert might not be confident to win against a rookie like Philip. Moreover, with the few cards just now, Philip’s points were higher than his. If the kid really got lucky, it would not be worth it. “I was afraid a young lad like you might lose your hand, so I’m letting you win a game first,” the foreigner said. Philip glanced at the foreigner's hole card covered under his hand, smiled slightly, and said, “Then I'll have to thank you for the 150,000 dollars.” After saying that, he took the three chips worth 50,000 dollars that the foreigner pushed over. The second round began. The ho
“How about it, Mr. Clarke? It’s time for you to reveal your card! Now that you’ve seen my hole card, are your hands shaking so much that they can’t hold onto your card anymore?” the foreigner taunted. Philip said to the foreigner, “Since I’ve staked everything I have, I won’t regret it. But for you to call my 150,000 dollars, aren’t you afraid of losing? I advise you to back out now while I haven’t revealed my card.” The foreigner waved his hand and said, “Do you think it’s useful to intimidate me?” While saying that, he took two chips from in front of him and threw them on the table. “Go on. I don't believe your luck is still as good as the last hand!” Philip shook his head and said, “You're right, I had good luck in the last hand. The odds of having good luck two hands in a row are pretty small.” As Philip said that, he used two fingers to pick up his hole card. “However, I don’t know why, but my luck is really that good. Are you angry?” With that said, he tossed his ho
“You!” Yolanda’s eyes instantly popped wide open. She was a very strong-headed woman. This time, if not for the special circumstances, she would never have agreed to come over and gamble with Randolph. Moreover, Randolph took advantage of Yolanda’s unwillingness to admit defeat and eagerness to win, goading her into borrowing money to continue gambling. Before Yolanda could finish speaking, Philip waved his hand and interrupted her words. Philip smiled and said, “I agree to the raise.” Victor was surprised. Did Philip have the confidence to win? However, looking at the situation in front of him, a miracle could not happen twice. The chances of winning were too small! “Hahaha, Mr. Clarke, you’re such a decisive person!” the foreigner said as he pushed out another five million dollars in chips. Now, the foreigner had seven million dollars worth of chips out on the table. “Philip, what are you saying? How dare you use me as a bet?” Yolanda was anxious now. Although she
“Mr. Clarke, you’re too hasty.” The foreigner suddenly laughed and said, “You're too eager to win back the money the little b*tch has lost. The two million you have now, plus the five million you raised, makes it a total of seven million dollars. Do you want to make a comeback? I won’t give you that chance. I’m folding this hand.” After saying that, he pushed his chips to Philip and turned over his hole card—seven of hearts. The audience was surprised and murmured. Philip ignored the foreigner's words and silently turned over his hole card as well. It was an ace of spades! Instantly, the private room fell into a dead silence! Philip’s cards were the ace of spades, nine of hearts, seven of diamonds, four of spades, and three of spades. The foreigner's cards were the seven of hearts, king of spades, ten of hearts, seven of clubs, and two of spades. Philip had a loose hand while the foreigner had a pair! However, the foreigner folded his cards and admitted defeat, losi
As the foreigner said that, he pushed over five million dollars in chips. Philip frowned and said dubiously, “Your card is smaller than mine but you’re raising five million at once. Is it your turn to trick me this time?” The foreigner glared at Philip and said, “You don’t know if I’m tricking you, but I know for sure that you won’t dare to call.” “Are you trying to agitate me into calling?” Philip smiled faintly. “Fine, as you wish!” With that, he pushed over five million dollars in chips as well. The foreigner was stunned, but he gave a faint sneer afterward. “Very well, you’re very gutsy.” The third card was the jack of clubs for Philip and the queen of hearts for the foreigner. “Sorry, I already have a pair of queens. It seems like lady luck is not on your side this round!” The foreigner laughed and said, “Seven million dollars!” Philip smiled faintly and said, “Call.” On the fourth card, Philip got ten of spades and the foreigner got five of clubs. Philip thoug
The foreigner clenched his fists until they creaked and sneered, “I admit that I underestimated you at first, but now it seems that nine million dollars is worth paying for that lucky hand of yours. How about it? Do you dare to call?” “Call!” Philip said with certainty and without any doubt. The room went into an uproar again! Victor’s face was very ugly. Looking at the foreigner's expression, it seemed that he was determined to win. Although he did not know what card Philip had, what if he lost? Thinking about it, Victor had made up his mind. Anyway, this was his turf. If Randolph and his men really wanted to hurt Philip, even if Victor was branded as someone who did not follow the rules, he would not let them touch a hair on Philip’s head! As for the person of distinguished status behind Randolph… He could only deal with that in the future! At this time, the foreigner was grinning so broadly that he could not keep his mouth closed. He laughed while shaking his hea
The atmosphere in the room instantly exploded! Oddly enough, everyone shouted in unison, “Young Master Clarke! Young Master Clarke!” Philip laughed aloud. This was exhilarating! This was a true card game! Exciting! Following the habit of a certain movie character, Philip asked Victor, “Any chocolate?” “I’ll get it! I’ll get some!” Victor went crazy with joy! Young Master Clarke was truly amazing! He had nothing else to say! He conceded! Yolanda was surprised and happy. She covered her mouth with both hands, her face full of incredulity! Due to the big movement, Philip’s jacket slipped from her shoulders and her undergarment was exposed. Yolanda blushed and quickly pulled the clothes around her body before anyone noticed. “This… What’s going on? Pete?” Randolph stared at the foreigner with wide eyes. The foreigner named Pete was completely dumbfounded now, his brain in a complete mess. Hearing the boss calling out his name, he quickly regained his consciousne
“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
