Since young, he had had his fair share of being beaten by William like this. It had left a shadow in his heart. William belted him several times before turning around and squeezing out a smile. He did not even dare to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead and spoke to Philip, “Mr. Clarke, I’m sorry. My son is ignorant and has offended your wife. Why don’t I get him to apologize to your wife?” “Why are you lying down and pretending to be dead? Quickly get up and apologize to Mr. Clarke!” William yelled at the howling Toby. A dumbfounded Toby was dragged up by William to apologize to Philip. However, Philip said, “Patriarch Little, you may have misunderstood something. I never promised to let him go. Of course, I didn't promise to spare the Little family either. Besides, your son was quite adamant about sending my wife to jail just now. He even wanted me to kneel and apologize to him.” Hearing this, William’s mouth twitched as his eyes flashed with a chill. His fists were clench
William's face changed as the muscles at the corner of his eyes twitched. He clenched his fists, the corners of his eyes going cold. This Philip Clarke was too aggressive. William gritted his teeth and said coldly, “Mr. Clarke, you should be more forgiving. There’s no need to push things to the extreme. It’s good to leave others a way out.” However, Philip did not speak and just watched quietly. Seeing the look on Philip’s face, William could no longer control himself and shouted angrily, “Philip, don’t be such a tyrant! I’m the head of the Little family, after all. Even if you’ve used some tactics to remove me from the Holton Law Firm, do you really think I’ll be afraid of you? The connections I have are not fewer than yours, so don’t push your luck! If you know what’s good for you, you should let this matter end here. I’ll not hold you accountable for today's incident. Otherwise, I vow to send you to jail!” William was really furious! He had humbled himself and pleaded fo
Luke Tucker, who was on the other end of the phone, was so frightened after hearing these names that he fell limp onto the chair. His eyes revealed his panicked state while the cold sweat on his forehead poured like a waterfall! How could this happen? Could it be that someone had leaked the information? These were the names of the people he had secretly supported to make money for him! There was no wrong name on the list! He had been supporting these people for many years and this matter had been kept under tight wraps. However, it was now being exposed by a stranger with no background. Luke was flabbergasted! Who on earth was the other party and how did he find out everything about him in such a short time? What a terrifying force this man must be! “Mr. Clarke, I think there may be a misunderstanding between us.” Luke was completely panic-stricken. His legs were shaking and he quickly pleaded, “Let’s do this, Mr. Clarke. I won’t interfere in the Little family’s affai
Lynn Johnston was very scared and whimpered, “Brother-in-law, I was wrong. Don’t hit me. I’m scared.” Lynn was panicking now. She never imagined that Philip was so powerful! In such a short time, not only did he get Toby’s license revoked but also his father’s membership revoked! He even got them arrested! His methods were simply too terrifying! Lynn had never heard of such means. All along, she thought Philip was just a loser who relied on Wynn. He was supposed to be a kept husband. However, everything that happened today made her panic. Philip Clarke was not at all what he appeared to be! It was too frightening! “Lynn, pass my message along. I’ll return to Riverdale in the evening. Tell the two uncles to get ready and welcome me.” Philip said coldly as his eyes surged with intense anger! Martin Johnston and Bernard Johnston—these two people were simply looking for death! Did they really think he dared not make a move against them? Lynn whimpered and nodded
Hearing this, Bernard was anxious and quickly asked, “One sentence? What did he say?” Lynn shuddered and replied, “He said that in this world, there’s no one that he, Philip Clarke, can't afford to mess with—not even the Little family. They can only wait for their destruction.” Hiss! On the other end of the phone, Bernard gasped as his back was immediately drenched in a cold sweat. Why was this guy so arrogant? No one in the world could mess with him? Too presumptuous! After a moment of silence, Lynn's voice was heard over the phone. She sounded very anxious and worried as she asked, “Dad, what should we do? Toby has been arrested and the Little family is gone now. Will we be arrested too? Will Philip come after us?” Bernard’s face went dark. He was no longer a man of an ordinary household, working hard every day just for his daily bread and butter. Now, he was on the board of directors of Beacon Group. He had money and status. Every day, he went in and out of opule
At this moment, Martin was chatting with a few friends in the living room of the villa. They were the directors of Beacon Group and also the co-initiators of this covert battle! Seeing Bernard barge in, Martin frowned and said to the people around him, “Excuse me for a moment.” After that, he got up and went to the small garden next to the villa with Bernard following closely behind. “Tell me what’s wrong. Why are you panicking like this? How indecent. Stop making a fool of yourself.” Martin scowled. They had overstepped their boundaries and put on shoes that were too big for their feet. They were already used to poverty but suddenly, this big enterprise fell right onto their laps. Furthermore, being in the position of chairman, many of their bad habits naturally had to be changed! This was why the Johnston brothers had spent so much money to repackage and rebrand themselves. Firstly, it was to satisfy their vanity. Secondly, it was to show everyone that they were not beggars
”Who’s there?!” Martin immediately yelled sharply. Swoosh! Instantly, more than a dozen thugs rushed out, closely protecting Martin and Bernard. With a sullen face, Martin went over and kicked the leader of the thugs, saying angrily, “Why the hell are you still standing here? Give chase!” “Yes, of course!” The thug in the lead waved his hand and shouted, “Follow me!” Once he saw that everyone had left, Martin cursed angrily, “Damn it, why did everyone leave? Don’t we need any protection? These people are a bunch of rubbish!” Immediately after, Martin waved his hand and returned to the living room angrily. When all the board members of the company saw Martin coming back with an unpleasant face, they all got up, looking a little frightened. Seeing this, Martin quickly put on a smile and said, “Don’t stand up, please remain seated. Everything’s fine. The house was burglarized but I already got people to check it out.” These board members could not be told that Philip
After Bernard left the steel mill, he headed directly to a club. Then, with the guidance of a dedicated attendant, he entered a dimly lit private room. This room was decorated in a medieval style and a faint fragrance lingered in the air. The sofa bed in the center was surrounded by translucent red curtains. He could see a woman wearing a black nightgown on the bed, lying on her side. Her figure was superb with a small waistline and a perky butt. After Bernard entered, he stood there respectfully, not daring to look at the woman on the bed who was slowly getting up. Her carefree posture would mesmerize any man. He lowered his head and saw her pair of fair jade-like feet walk up to him. He also got a stronger whiff of the fragrance on her. “What are you doing here?” The woman's voice was full of temptation, like the music of nature, which made Bernard’s body heat up. After saying this, the woman lay on the sofa with her legs tucked on her side. Her posture was seductive
“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
