They had planned to use divestment as a threat at first, but now, it seemed that Philip was determined to let them divest. Did he really have the ability to get 1.6 billion in funds to fill the gap after their divestment? If this could not be done in time, Beacon would face bankruptcy and liquidation! “Hmph, are you trying to scare me?” Martin roared and threw the agreement in his hand to the floor! How dare Philip do this? Was he trying to scare them? Following that, Martin looked at the several board members and shouted, “Don't let him scare you. He’s deliberately putting up a tough front and trying to deter you!” The board members looked at the divestment agreement in their hands and panicked a little. What should they do? Did they really have to divest? They looked at each other with a worried look in their eyes. This scene fell in the eyes of Martin and Bernard. They naturally sensed that the situation was dangerous. If they did not divest, what would they
Martin laughed scornfully and said, “Don’t talk to me about Milanelson Angel Investment Group. Your mother-in-law has investigated it before. It’s just a shell company with no money left. Besides, your mother-in-law also told us that you’re the bankrupt young master of some Clarke Group? Hahaha, that’s really ridiculous. You have to pay a huge debt, right? Right now, you’re nothing but a pathetic dog that’s living off the scraps given by Wynn. As long as you kneel down to apologize and stand on our side, I can give you more than Wynn gave you. What do you think?” Martin Johnston was a cunning old fox. He was actually trying to come between Philip and Wynn’s relationship. Smack! Philip put the teacup on the coffee table heavily and raised his eyebrows, looking at the board members who had various expressions in front of him. He said, “I’m afraid to disappoint you, then. I can easily get 1.6 billion dollars in minutes. Do you believe it?” “Why are you bragging? At this time, do
Very soon, ten minutes went by. There was still no movement downstairs. Bernard was even standing at the window and deliberately looking outside. Except for a few cars that drove past, there was no sign of any delivery trucks on the streets. There was not even a person! He turned around, shook his head at Martin, and said, “Martin, there’s nothing downstairs.” Martin immediately slapped his hands on the armrests, got up, and laughed unrestrainedly. He mocked Philip, “My dear nephew, what now? Ten minutes have passed. Where are your cash delivery trucks? Where’s the 1.6 billion dollars in cash? Hahaha!” Immediately after, the surrounding directors also spoke sarcastically, “I'm laughing my ass off. It's really fun to watch this drama at night.” “Yes, even though I’m an old man now, I can still watch such funny things happening. I’ll remember this for the rest of my life. Maybe I can even live longer from laughing at this.” “Philip, where’s your convoy? We’ve waited for te
There was 50 million dollars in each case! Seeing this, the hearts of Martin and the others dropped to rock bottom! Philip actually got his hands on 1.6 billion dollars? In such a short time too! This was terrifying! What kind of strength would it take to do all this? Martin was flustered and extremely scared. What kind of monster was he fighting against? With such strength, why was Philip still in the Johnston family where he had to suffer from the contempt of others? “Did you prepare all this?” Martin was still a little suspicious. However, right after that, a middle-aged man in a gray suit quickly ran in from the door. He stood respectfully in front of Philip, bent over, and said with his head lowered, “Young Master Clarke, thank you for using Swiss Bank. Here’s 1.6 billion dollars in cash. This is your black card. Please check it.” Swoosh! Everyone was shocked when they heard the Swiss Bank being mentioned. At this moment, seeing the middle-aged man respec
This damned Philip dared to threaten them like this! Abominable! How hateful! After Philip left, Bernard breathed a sigh of relief and asked his second brother, “Martin, what should we do now? We’ve really landed ourselves in trouble. I don’t think Philip will let it go. Who would have thought that he actually has a black card from the Swiss Bank? This is simply unbelievable!” Bernard was very uneasy. How could they deal with Philip, a person who owned a black card from the Swiss Bank? It was impossible! Such a person could make all of them bankrupt and homeless just by lifting his finger. Martin’s face was very unpleasant. Standing with his hands behind his back, there was a mess of emotions on his face. Several members of the board also looked worried and sorrowful at this moment. They looked at Martin and asked, “Mr. Johnston, what should we do now? We’re stuck in a rut with you now.” “That's right, Mr. Johnston. We withdrew our capital from Beacon after listening
Early the next morning, Martin and Bernard brought everyone to Beacon Group’s conference room. The atmosphere in the entire conference room was somber and tense. Everyone seemed to be deep in thought. Last night, most of them had received solicitations from two different parties, either at home or at the clubhouse. Today's shareholders meeting was crucial. Martin settled into the chairman's seat while Bernard sat next to him. He coughed lightly, signaling everyone to be quiet. He then spoke directly, “Today's shareholders meeting is very simple. I, Martin Johnston, will also be very straightforward and won’t beat around the bush. Today, I’ll resign from all positions in Beacon and will no longer serve as chairman of the board.” As soon as he said that, discussions broke out in the conference room. Martin’s time in power was short and no one expected him to resign so soon. Everyone had different opinions on this. Next, Martin continued, “However, please rest assured
Philip’s sudden appearance caused everyone in the meeting room to be at a loss for words. They felt unsettled! One of them stood up abruptly, pointed at Philip, and sternly said, “Who are you? Who let you in? Don’t you know where this is? Security, kick them out!” This person was a newcomer and Martin had just promoted him, so he naturally did not know who Philip was. Philip turned his head and glanced at the guy. With a faint smile at the corners of his mouth, he said, “Take him down.” Swoosh! Two black-suited thugs behind him stepped forward and pinned that man to the floor! Instantly, the man howled, “Mutiny! Who the hell are you? This is Beacon’s conference room. How dare you act so boldly?! Security, where's the security?” Bam! As a result, Philip walked over and kicked the man's chest violently, sending him flying. He hit the seat heavily before falling to the ground. The man clutched his chest with a wail and could not get up for a while. With Philip’s kick,
Swish! Instantly, more than a dozen thugs rushed over and directly pressed all those who just voiced out to the floor! In a flash, the conference room was in chaos! More than a dozen people who stood on Martin’s side were harshly pinned to the floor by Theo’s men! They howled in anger, “Damn it! Who are you to do this to us? We’re the shareholders of Beacon! Even if Wynn were here, she wouldn't dare to do this to us!” “Let go of us or we’ll go to the Riverdale Chamber of Commerce and sue you!” “Philip Clarke, you’re too arrogant. This is Beacon, not your house! What right do you have to preside over this shareholders meeting?” Even though they were pinned to the floor, they were still very indignant and cursed at Philip. However, Philip still remained indifferent. He raised his eyebrows and looked at those people who were sitting in their seats in silence, saying, “If you want to end up like them, feel free to try.” As soon as he said that, dozens of thugs in black su
“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
