Martin finally came to a realization. How could Philip be a loser? He was clearly a lion, a sleeping lion! However, he could not figure out one thing. If Philip was so powerful, why did he hide his true strength until now? Was it related to Madam Wallis of Cirrus Villa? However, Martin could not be bothered to think about it now. Instead, he turned around, looked at the group of people behind him, and said, “I won’t force you. I definitely won’t treat you badly if you choose to come with me.” After saying that, Martin turned around and looked at Philip resentfully, saying, “Just you wait!” Then, he left the conference room. Among them, seven or eight people chose to follow Martin. Naturally, that included several board members from last night. They had no other choice. The others had offended Philip and knew they would have no future in Beacon. The room became quiet at this moment. Only then did the rest of the people look at Philip with flattering smiles while sayi
”Notify all the media in the city and announce the secret about Wynn.” When Bernard heard this, he was still a little worried and asked, “Martin, if we really do this, there’ll be no turning back. At that time, Charles will no longer tolerate us and that’ll be the end of our kinship. Moreover, we’ve promised our big brother and sister-in-law that we’ll never disclose Wynn’s secret to the outside world. If this is revealed, not only Wynn but also Charles and Martha will be criticized.” Martin’s face appeared dark as he looked at Bernard with raised eyebrows, saying, “Bernard, do you think we have another way out now? Since Philip is forcing us like this, why should we care about family affection? It’s every man for himself!” Martin did not want to reveal the secret that had been buried for more than 20 years either. However, at this point, he had no other choice. If Philip had been willing to give in, he would not have resorted to this! Bernard thought about it and said, “Mart
Martin laughed and said, “Haha, well said. Since you’ve chosen me, I naturally won’t treat you badly. But I didn’t expect Philip to be so vicious and ruthless, not showing the slightest mercy at all. This is simply too disrespectful of him.” While saying that, Martin even slapped his hand on the armrest of the sofa in anger.Although it was a bit pretentious, nobody would say anything. Instead, they smiled flatteringly and said, “Exactly! Philip is simply too arrogant. We’re veterans in Beacon, after all. For him to kick us out like this, it’s too disheartening!” “Mr. Johnston, as long as you say the word, we’ll definitely follow you to the ends of the world!” “We must get rid of Philip quickly!” Martin nodded as he stood up and said, “Everyone, please rest assured. The scale of Martin Pharmaceutical is comparable to Beacon. I believe that with your help, Martin Pharmaceutical will soon be among the top three in the pharmaceutical industry in Riverdale. At that time, we’ll fig
Martin laughed, looked at the man admiringly, and patted him on the shoulder., “Very well, you did a good job. It just so happens that the company is short of a general manager right now, so I’ll give you the position. I hope you can lead Martin Pharmaceutical to glory!” As soon as that man heard this, tears of excitement filled his eyes as he said, “Thank you for your trust, Mr. Johnston. I won’t let you down!” All of a sudden, everyone there became anxious. They stood up and began talking. “Mr. Johnston, I also have the R&D information about one of Beacon’s drugs.” “I know several distributors who can help our company expand our sales channels.” “Mr. Johnston, I have confidential documents from Beacon Research Institute. I'm sure they won’t disappoint you.” Martin looked at everyone's eager gazes to gain merit and a smile slowly bloomed from the corners of his mouth. “Very good, everyone will have your turn. Take your time and don’t rush. We stand united!” Martin was fu
“How do you know about the trump card in my hand?” Martin’s face was stern. Russell smiled lightly and said, “Mr. Johnston, I have to apologize to you about this matter. I accidentally overheard some of the things you and Vice-chairman Johnston talked about in the company that day.” Martin’s face trembled as he recalled what he had discussed with Bernard in the company the other day, which indeed involved his trump card. On the side, Jacky suddenly shouted at this time, “Mr. Johnston, look! This Russell Carl actually dared to eavesdrop. He must’ve been sent by Philip. I think such a person must be driven out!” However, Martin directly interrupted him and asked Russell with a smile, “How much did you hear?” Russell replied, “About Chairwoman Wynn Johnston’s background, that’s all.” Martin’s face darkened. He thought about it and finally said, “Very well, then. I’ll leave this matter to you and Jacky. I hope the two of you won’t let me down.” Russell stood up and said, “Tha
Philip looked at Bernard coldly, took the envelope from his hand, and opened it in front of him. After just two glances, the expression on Philip's face quickly turned chilly. His eyes soon became colder than an abyss! This… This was… He looked up, abruptly grabbed Bernard by the collar, and shook the information in his hand while shouting coldly, “What is this? Are you using such dirty methods to frame Wynn? Don’t think that I can be fooled this easily!” Bernard sneered and said, “Do you think this is made up? What if I tell you that it’s true?” Hearing this, Philip was startled. Bernard took the opportunity to shake off Philip’s hand and adjusted his necktie. He said coldly, “Philip, the Johnston family has kept this a secret for more than 20 years. We never planned on announcing this, but if you insist on opposing us, then this secret will be spread all over Riverdale! When that happens, you can surely imagine how Wynn will end up. I hope you think about it. No hurry, we
“Oh, he’s not really a wimp. He’s just too good to Wynn and prioritizes her. We made the right move this time and struck where it hurts the most!” Martin laughed as he spoke, his face full of triumph. “By the way, Martin, how are we going to deal with those business partners?” Bernard asked. With two beauties in his arms, Martin said with a smile, “No rush. Let Russell Carl and Jacky Cullen handle them.” “Russell Carl and Jacky Cullen?” Bernard was full of doubts and said, “Martin, these two are rivals yet you’re actually letting them handle this? Aren’t you looking for trouble? No way, I need to personally watch over things.” “That’s enough. Bernard, just think about it. Since these two are rivals, it stands to reason that they won’t be able to tolerate each other and will certainly do their best to get the credit. Moreover, it’s also mutual supervision. If someone does something wrong, do you think the other person will let him off?” Martin said with a smile. This was som
Looking at the information in his hand, Philip took a deep breath before he said with a smile, “Nothing, it’s just a casual call.” Wynn did not think too much about it. After a few words with Philip, she hung up the phone. She turned around and returned to the living room of the suite, feeling a little restless. She could not help feeling that Philip was hiding something from her, and it was related to her. “Sister Wynn, what are you thinking about again? Come on, I saw a bigger mall nearby. Let’s go for a walk. It’s so boring to stay indoors all the time,” Lydia suggested expectantly. She was someone who could not sit still. She might go crazy if she were left indoors for one day. As for Anne Foster, she was tidying Wynn’s room and said with a light laugh, “Miss Wynn, I think Lydia is right. You should walk around more and get some fresh air. It’s good for you and your baby.” Wynn nodded. She was also a little antsy and said, “Okay, let’s go out for a walk then.” When
“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
