Hearing this, Martha became even more anxious and said angrily, “Old man, what do you mean by that? Do you think he still dares to hit me? If he dares to hit me again, I’ll get Wynnie to divorce him! This loser doesn’t respect me as his mother-in-law at all!” “Divorce? Do you really think Wynn will divorce him now? The baby in her belly will be born in a few months.” Charles sighed. “Why not? Do you think our family can’t survive without Philip?” Martha retorted furiously, “I’m telling you, Charles Johnston, put away your thoughts of flattering him. Philip only has a bit of money now and knows some people. If you really compare him to those people outside, he’s still far from them!” Martha was very clear about who Philip was. Even if he became a king one day, Martha would still despise this piece of trash! Hearing these words, Charles shook his head helplessly and continued to read his newspaper. This crazy woman was really getting more and more unreasonable. It was a
The investor behind Beacon Group? Martha was taken aback as she mumbled inwardly. ‘What does Philip mean by that?’ Was it possible that the investor behind Beacon Group had something to do with him? “What do you mean? If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t beat around the bush,” Martha said with a skeptical look in her eyes as she observed Philip. Philip chuckled and said, “I transferred all the funds of Milanelson Angel Investment Group to Beacon. Once Beacon suffers any major financial disruption, the funds will immediately be injected. If you wanted to look into me, why didn’t you get someone to investigate this? It’s such a pity. Maybe you could have found something.” Philip really had to take his hat off to Martha for going to such an extent. The reason she checked up on him was all because of money. When Martha heard Philip’s words, her heart thumped. He had transferred the funds of Milanelson Investment Group? It was all under Beacon’s name? Philip
Victor Bell stepped forward, glanced at the dozen or so hooligans in front of him grimly, and shouted, “Who sent you here? If you tell me, I’ll let you go!” Victor was angry. Those who dared to stop Philip’s car were simply looking for death! The man in the lead chuckled and said, “Oh, are you impersonating street punks by bringing so many henchmen with you? If you had asked around, you would’ve found out that this territory belongs to me, Marvin! “Also, who the hell are you? Is there someone like you in Riverdale? How come I’ve never seen you before?” The man continued mocking as he jabbed the baseball bat in his hand directly on Victor’s chest. His attitude was extremely pompous. Victor lowered his eyebrows and looked at the baseball bat on his chest. The corners of his mouth twitched as cold intent appeared on his face. When had Victor Bell, one of the three major underground forces in Uppercreek, ever been provoked like this? “Do it! Beat them up until they tell us
Bernard hurried back to First Palace, yelling as he entered the door, “Martin, something has happened!” Martin was drinking coffee and reading the newspaper at this time. Seeing Bernard rushing back in a fluster, his eyes were filled with displeasure as he asked, “Why are you panicking like this?” Martin had learned to maintain his composure by now so that he would suit his image as the chairman of Beacon Group. Seeing that flustered look on his third brother, he was naturally displeased. Even after getting rich, this younger brother of his still could not get rid of those bad habits. Bernard panted and said, “That, that Philip Clarke…” Upon hearing this, Martin was overjoyed. He abruptly stood up with a face full of excitement and said, “How did it go? Have you captured him? Let’s go! Take me there!” Bernard did not move. He waved his hand and said, “No, we didn’t catch him.” “You didn’t? What happened? Didn’t you hire many ruffians? Why couldn’t you even catch Philip
Victor anxiously got down from the car as well. He got their men to surround Philip and closely guard him. As soon as Philip got out of the car, his cold eyes swept over the entire area. As far as the eye could see, dozens of people were fiercely staring at him. “I don't want to cause trouble. Tell me where Martin Johnston and Bernard Johnston are,” Philip said loudly. Even in this situation, he did not show any fear. This display alone made the dozens of people across the street a little startled. In the crowd, someone shouted, “Who the f*ck do you think you are? You want to see Master Martin and Master Bernard? Dream on!” “Philip Clarke, I recognize you as the worthless son-in-law of the Johnston family. You won’t get away today. Tell your men to obediently withdraw and kneel on the ground!” “That's right! You can’t escape!” Facing the angry shouts and warnings from this group of people, Philip sneered. He said, “How much money did Martin Johnston give you to make you
“Whoever dares to touch Mr. Clarke will be messing with me, Theo Zander!” Theo Zander! The big shot of Riverdale! He was a prominent figure in this area!At this moment, his motorcade had stopped in front of Beacon Group’s building! A dozen black Mercedes-Benz cars were lined up in a row. The doors opened and dozens of thugs in black suits stepped down, completely surrounding this place! Theo also ran over briskly.Upon seeing Theo, the man who was arrogantly trying to teach Philip a lesson before turned grave and gloomy. He stood to one side. Who would have thought that Theo would return at this time! According to the information received, Theo should be holding a chamber of commerce over in Penhart. How could he have come back so soon? “Mr. Theo, this is Beacon’s internal affairs. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to interfere like this.” The man in the suit and leather shoes, whose name was Blake Poole, had a pale face at the moment. He spoke in a cold voice.
Douglas Poole, the fourth master of Riverdale. He was a character who had retreated to the background. Finally, he appeared again today! It was only because Martin Johnston of Beacon Group had offered a large sum that could help him regain control of Riverdale. This was the main reason Douglas was willing to step forward this time. As a person got older, their movements would also get slower. Douglas did not wish to continue living his life like this. Riverdale had been under Theo’s rule for many years and it was time for a change. Theo’s expression froze when he saw Douglas appearing with his people. His heart became heavy. Why did Douglas emerge all of a sudden? Could it be that all these things were connected? Immediately after, Theo turned to Douglas and said solemnly, “Fourth Master, what do you intend to do?” After seeing his son being beaten up, Douglas was naturally angry and said furiously, “Theo, don’t think that I don’t dare to do anything to you just bec
Everyone turned to look at where the voice came from and saw dozens of people approaching. The leader was an old man with a walking cane, looking to be about 60 or 70 years old. He was dressed in a white suit with a string of rosary in his hand. He was Webster Shaw, the chairman of Loyale Group. He was a former major underground force in Riverdale! In terms of seniority and influence, Webster was definitely above Theo! In Riverdale, many underground figures only got to their current positions because of Webster. Instantly, the entrance of Beacon Group became jam-packed with people. The people here served their own masters. Everyone dared not take the matter lightly.Webster’s pomp was grand when he showed up earlier. He leaned on the cane in his hand and looked at Theo coldly. Douglas quickly got up from the ground, ran to Webster, and shouted, “Uncle Webster, you’re finally here. Any later and I would’ve been killed by Theo! He doesn't even care about you now. You hav
“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
