Hearing Agnes’ words, Herb was dumbfounded. With a face full of confusion, he asked angrily, “Miss Summer, what are you doing? You actually hit me? I’m the vice president of this company! Can you fire me just like that? Besides, what did I do wrong?” Herb was very annoyed. It had not just been a day or two since he coveted Agnes’ position as general manager. By doing this, was Agnes trying to get rid of competition? Of course, he would be angry! Agnes smiled coldly and said, “Your wrongdoings? Your biggest mistake is being disrespectful to Philip Clarke!” Philip Clarke? Herb turned his head, looked at the man standing next to Agnes, and suddenly understood. Was this guy a relative of Agnes? Agnes wanted to fire him because of a relative? Ridiculous! Who did she think she was? Did she think Gopher Delivery Services was hers? “Agnes Summer, did you get the approval of the board of directors to do this? Fire me? Do you even know who I am? No matter what, I’m the vice
Philip shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, “Just kick him out.” After saying that, the security guards quickly rushed over, grabbed Herb, and said, “Sorry, Mr. Lyon.” Herb was dumbfounded. He struggled and hissed, “Damn it, are you crazy? I’m the vice president. Let go of me! He’s nothing but a piece of trash but you’re listening to him? It’s just Agnes Summer. What are you afraid of?” Until now, Herb still thought that these people were doing this because of Agnes. Agnes just flicked him a cold glance before leading Philip into the conference room. Herb was in the lobby being pressed down by some security guards when he suddenly shouted, “Agnes Summer, just you wait! I’ll contact the board of directors immediately. Let’s see who gave you the guts to treat me like this!” Agnes completely ignored Herb who was yelling and screaming behind her. Instead, she looked at Philip in front of her and said, “Mr. Clarke, don’t you want to reveal your identity?” Philip sm
These few people had barged in with the intention of forcing the other party into submission. Agnes’ face also darkened. She turned around, stared at the group of men coldly, and said to the man who took the lead, “Director Corby, if you’re here for Herb’s matter, you may leave now. Regarding the dismissal of Herb Lyon, I’ll apply in writing to the board of directors.” After Agnes finished speaking, she looked at Herb behind those few people in cold silence. Director Corby scowled and said with a laugh, “Miss Summer, if you do this, doesn’t it mean you’re not showing me, Mike Corby, any respect? Herb is the talent I groomed. Who are you to fire him? Besides, what did he do wrong for you to do this? You have to give us an explanation. Don't abuse your power to suppress dissidents.” Mike Corby put his hands behind his back and snorted, his attitude very tough. Several board members behind him also nodded and spoke up. “That’s right, Miss Summer. What you did is not in line wi
Not only Mike Corby, but Herb Lyon also laughed disdainfully and said, “Miss Summer, you don’t seem to be an ignorant person. Can’t you see what the situation is now? I advise you not to put up any unnecessary struggles and apologize to me properly. By the way, adopt my investment plan proposal. In that case, this matter will be over. What do you think?” Herb looked at Mike and they exchanged a glance, forming a tacit understanding. They came this time to put pressure on Agnes. It was the right time to grab this opportunity to adopt the investment plan so that the interests of their faction would be maximized. At the same time, if they could drag Agnes into the mud, then the entire Gopher Delivery Services would be a cat in the sack. However... To their surprise, Agnes turned around, took out a thick stack of documents from the drawer of the desk, and tossed it in front of them. She said, “No need. Regarding the board’s decision to dismiss Mike Corby and the other four peop
Hearing this, everyone was stunned! Who was this guy? How could he say such things? “What did you say? You want to sign it? Who do you think you are! We haven't settled the score with you for what happened just now and you dare to come forward?! You're looking for death!” Herb was annoyed at the moment. He pointed angrily at Philip and roared. Several board members at his side also scowled and scolded, “Who is this kid? Why is he here?” “Miss Summer, you need to explain to us why you allowed an irrelevant person to enter this place. Don't you know our company's regulations?” “Director Corby, I think he must be Agnes’ relative. She wants to build her power in the company. We absolutely can’t let this go!” Mike nodded, glanced at Philip sharply, and said solemnly, “Young man, this is not something you can get involved in. I advise you to leave as soon as possible, lest you get burned in the crossfire.” Mike utterly looked down on Philip. Why did Agnes find such a person
“Yes, it’s a misunderstanding. Everything is just a misunderstanding.” Mike was extremely anxious at this moment. If Philip signed these documents, he would be done for! He would not only be kicked out of Gopher Delivery Services, but even the evidence that Agnes had collected could not be overlooked so easily. Philip smiled, turned his head to look at Agnes, and asked, “Have they been deliberately making things difficult for you recently?” Agnes thought about it and nodded in response. “Yes, about the matter with the investors this time, they want to take the opportunity to compete for more personal gains. They’re completely disregarding the profits of the company.” Upon hearing this, Philip nodded. Mike was scared out of his mind and hurriedly said, “Miss Summer, don’t say that. We’ve worked together for a few months. Chairman Clarke, please don't listen to her. She’s deliberately planting evidence to frame me!” Mike was anxious. He did not expect Agnes to speak up about
Philip raised his eyebrows as though he had heard something strange. He grinned faintly as he said, “What did you say? You want to make my company go bankrupt?” Interesting. Agnes was also taken aback when she heard this. There was a trace of slight disdain on his face. This Mike Corby was really delusional. He even wanted Gopher Delivery Services to go bankrupt. He did not know Philip’s strength at all! Mike glared at Philip and shouted, “Yes, I want your company to go bankrupt! No one will end up well after messing with me! Don't think that you’re great just because you’re the founder of some company! There are always people better than you! You’re still too young!” Philip listened indifferently. Mike continued, “Chairman Clarke, on the account of your young age, I won’t harp on this matter with you. As long as you’re willing to let us go, I won’t make this call. But if you insist on doing this, we can only fight till the end! I have to tell you that in this world, ther
Mike immediately took out his phone and said viciously, “You don’t agree? If you dare to refuse, I’ll make a call right away. Then, you’ll understand what the power of capital is!” Philip nodded and said, “Okay, make the call. Let’s see what kind of strength and means the person behind you has.” Hearing these words, Mike’s face darkened as he shouted, “Fine, let’s see how arrogant you can be after this!” After saying that, he directly dialed a number. When the call was answered, an aged voice sounded from the other end of the line, asking, “Mike? What can I do for you?” Mike’s attitude was extremely respectful at this moment as he said, “Old Master, I've encountered some trouble and I hope you can do me a favor.” “What is it? For you to call me directly, is it a very tricky problem?” the old man asked on the phone. “Old Master, the founder of Gopher Delivery Services, which you asked me to invest in, wants to fire us. He even has some evidence against us in his hands,” Mike
“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
The Hexa Guild also claimed that they would kill anyone from the Celestial Palace. Although upset, no one dared to say anything in the face of the other party’s strength. It would be embarrassing if they could not live up to their claims if they retorted now. Moreover, the battle was a matter of life and death. Everyone was risking their lives. The Celestial Palace had the confidence to face the Hexa Guild now. They believed that they could turn the situation around with their strength or at least show them what they could do. There would be a battle between the two parties in the afternoon, which was the best time to show off their strength. The young lady of the Celestial Palace would be the one contending. After improving her strength, Vanna was full of confidence and vowed to give her opponent a fatal blow or at least let them know how powerful she was. Ronan was nervous. He was not worried about his wife but worried that the Hexa Guild would take things too far. Those
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
