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
Philip called out to Victor and the rest, saying, “Everyone, things should be settled now. Since Mr. Randolph Harrison will surely abide by the rules, he won’t make things difficult for Miss Lee anymore, right?” Philip looked at Randolph after saying that. Randolph’s face was already red with anger! He snorted angrily and said, “Of course. It's not your place to tell me what to do!” Philip nodded. “That’s good to hear. Everyone, let’s continue to have fun.” Then, he walked out with the rest. At this moment, Pete, the foreigner, suddenly rushed over and grabbed Philip's shoulder! “What are you doing?” Victor yelled. Pete's eyes were cold as he said bitterly, “It's not over yet! You can't leave. Let's play another round.” Philip asked, “Why should I? I’ve already won back all the money owed by Miss Lee. There’s no need to continue, right?” “No way!” Pete's eyes were now bloodshot like he was a wild beast in a frenzy! He was a gambling master! He had never met his
“How... How did you know?” Pete’s face was pale. In a casino, it was the most taboo to cheat. However, the level of gambling skills was also equivalent to the level of cheating skills. If one cheated and was not caught or spotted by others, the person could be considered a true master. For a cheater, being caught meant losing a hand. Otherwise, they would be a true master! The foreigner’s cheating technique was actually not too bad, but it did not escape the eyes of Philip, who had been playing with top local gambling masters since childhood. Truth be told, such games were just a simple form of entertainment for magnates like the Clarke family! The Clarke family’s charity gambling gala! All the top domestic and international gambling masters would be invited to this event where everyone would use the money they won for charity. Since Philip was ten, he had mastered his skills in poker, dice, and pai gow, making him at the top of the country. If he wanted to win agai
Randolph’s face went red when he heard Victor say that. He was thinking inwardly that Victor had better not fall into his hands one day. Since the boss could no longer do anything, all blood drained from Pete’s face. Now, even if Philip really chopped his hand off, he could only resign to his fate! His life was over. He could only live as a disabled person with one hand in the future! Pete’s heart froze as he allowed Philip to press his hand down. Philip smiled at Pete and said, “Are you ready? I'll do it on the count of three! “One! “Two! “Three!” On the count of three, the knife in Philip’s hand fell from above! Yolanda and some of the women present covered their eyes. After all, this scene was too bloody. Argh! Immediately after, a scream from Pete was heard in the private room! Yolanda trembled all over. Although she was strong-headed, she was still a woman, after all. After a while, Yolanda slowly looked at the scene through the gaps between her finge
When Philip returned to the hotel, it was already late at night. The door of the hotel room was left wide open, seemingly waiting for Philip to return. It was a suite. When Philip walked into the living room, he saw Martha sitting in a wheelchair. Her face was full of anger. “You piece of sh*t! You’re getting bolder now, huh? How dare you hang up on me?! Who gave you the right?” Although Martha could not stand up or hit Philip, she still had a sharp tongue. She immediately started cursing. Philip did not want to kick up a fuss with her either. He was most worried about Wynn right now. “Mom, what’s wrong with Wynn?” Philip asked. Martha said with a huff, “You still dare to ask? Just now, Wynn received a phone call and her face suddenly changed. She started crying not long after she went to her room. What the hell did you do to her, huh? You punk, don't think that just because you're the boss of some small investment group that you can bully my daughter! She's pregnant now!”
“Hey, what does he mean by that? Oh, I can’t even scold my son-in-law now, huh?” Martha was annoyed. If not for her disability, she would have rushed up to him and given him a few earfuls! At this time, Wynn was still sobbing in the room. “Wynn, what’s the matter with you?” Philip knocked on the door and asked softly. Wynn’s sobs in the room stopped abruptly. After a short while, she choked up and said, “Who told you to come back? I told you not to come back.” Her voice sounded as if she was suffering a great grievance and it caused Philip a lot of distress. “Will you open the door? Tell me what happened after you open the door,” Philip said and comforted Wynn. “I don’t have anything to tell you. You can continue being lovey-dovey with that Bernice woman,” Wynn said with a tear-stained face. Her head was in a mess right now. Did Philip really cheat on her? Was he keeping a woman outside? They had not even resolved things with Chloe Sommerset. Although the other party
After speaking, Wynn cried out in agitation, her voice getting louder and louder. The First Palace held many of her and Philip’s memories. She still remembered when Philip bought her the diamond ring for the first time. She still remembered the wedding photoshoot with Philip there. She also remembered witnessing Philip’s changes along the way. However, now everything had changed and became out of control. Beacon Group was in complete control of the two uncles. Everyone on the board of directors had been changed to their people, and even the security personnel in the villa had been replaced. In short, Wynn and her family had no place to return to in Riverdale now. Moreover, the second uncle, Martin Johnston, also filed a lawsuit against Wynn’s family. He was accusing Wynn of embezzling company funds to purchase the First Palace in Longford Park. The board of directors then made the decision to officially dismiss Wynn. On the other hand, the third uncle, Bernard Johnsto
Philip raised his eyebrows, stared at Martha, and said in a grim voice, “Martha, since you’re not well enough yet, you shouldn’t swagger around too much. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that you can return to Riverdale in one piece.” After saying that, Philip turned around and left the suite. Martha was instantly angry and pointed at Philip's back as he left. She yelled with a face full of hatred, “Charles Johnston, just look at Philip Clarke! What does he mean by that? Huh? He’s not even treating me as a human being!” Philip left the suite and came to the hotel lobby. He dialed Theo Zander’s phone number and his respectful voice sounded from the other end. “Mr. Clarke, how may I help you?” “You’re not in Riverdale?” Philip asked coldly. Theo quickly replied, “Yes, Mr. Clarke. Something has happened in the Penhart Region. The last chamber of commerce caused an adverse chain reaction. Several forces are eager to destroy the chamber of commerce alliance that you finally managed to
“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
“What's going on? What drug did he take? It’s so powerful!” Jeff exclaimed in horror. All his attacks were ineffective, so what about Hogster’s attacks? At this time, Hogster attacked Jeff. His invincible mode would only last a few minutes. He had to seize the opportunity to take Jeff down. However, Hogster was not worried at all. In his opinion, dealing with Jeff was just a matter of seconds. “Go to hell!” Hogster made his move. He launched a killing move without holding back at all. Jeff was no match for Hogster at all. He was sent flying and fell to the ground miserably. Everyone looked at him with pity. Jeff spat a mouthful of blood and looked at Hogster in horror. Hogster had become so strong that he was no match for him at all. “Hehe, is that all you can take?” Hogster sneered. He was about to kill Jeff when the latter took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it. It was the same pill he had taken earlier. Sure enough, Jeff was back to normal after taking
“Wow, I feel so good as if I just had a massage.” Jeff praised Philip in his mind. After taking the pill, he recovered instantly. Even the ailments he had been suffering from in the past were healed. He was in such good shape that he could face Hogster with no problem. He even felt that he could resist Hogster’s attack this time. Philip nodded. Jeff was quite good. He had thought that Jeff was already defeated and would not even be able to move. However, Jeff forced himself to take out a pill and swallowed it. “He’s quite good at persevering and has a bright future. You can consider grooming him,” Philip said to Jamie. Jamie was surprised to hear such a high assessment from Philip. Jamie attached great importance to Philip's suggestion. Since Philip said so, he would develop Jeff properly. “Aren’t you very full of yourself? Keep going.” Jeff rushed forward and started beating Hogster up. Hogster was already dying and could not put up a fight at all. “Stop!” Hogste
The Hexa Guild had lost the earlier match, so Hogster was upset about it. Their guild should be undefeatable. They should have made a name for themselves by now, but everything was ruined. Although Hogster did not know why the Celestial Palace was so powerful, he had a feeling that they were cheating. “I’m the pride of the Hexa Guild while you’re just an ordinary member. Don't even think about resisting me,” Hogster said calmly, clearly looking down on Jeff. Of course, Jeff was not to be outdone. “My favorite hobby is to beat someone while they're down. Your guild's reputation is so bad anyway. Why bother holding on to it?” His remark struck the Hexa Guild’s sore spot, and all the members scowled at him. Indeed, the Hexa Guild had a very bad reputation. They could only recruit ordinary people who could not join other guilds but yearned to practice. “Hehe, cut the crap. We’ll know the outcome after a fight!” After saying this, Hogster charged at Jeff with a weapon in han
It would do the Hexa Guild no good to keep Vanna alive, so they would not allow it to happen. Although the members of the Hexa Guild were angry, they quickly cheered up. There would be several matches with the Celestial Palace to go. They could not lose their fighting spirit because of this trivial matter. “Let’s see how powerful the Celestial Palace is. I refuse to believe that we’re no match for them.” Hogster decided to take the stage because the upcoming opponent was just an ordinary member of the Celestial Palace. They were not very strong. In his opinion, an ordinary member could not be very strong. It would be easy to win this match, and it would save him a lot of trouble too. It would be bad if he faced a dark horse like the previous match. The hooded man saw the performance of the Celestial Palace and was surprised by their extraordinary strength. However, he did not notice anything unusual. He simply thought that it was their usual strength. Since they were so str
“This is interesting.” The hooded man glanced at the people discussing this matter and felt expectant. He could not wait to meet Philip. On the other hand, Philip was watching the competition and had no idea what was going on. “Oh, I see, you’re the young lady of the Celestial Palace. I thought you were very powerful, but this is all there is to you.” Vanna’s opponent was an ugly woman who was very upset with her beautiful appearance. Vanna looked at her mockingly. “The outcome has yet to be determined. I don’t think you’re any better either.” After saying this, Vanna looked at the other party, waiting for her to make the first move. The ugly woman was furious at Vanna’s provocation. “Very well. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, let me show you what I’m capable of!” After saying this, she attacked Vanna as if she were ready to get rid of her. She had received an order from the guild leader to deal with Vanna properly. The Hexa Guild had initially planned to qu
