When Jacky Cullen saw this scene, the corners of his eyes twitched with dissatisfaction. He finished his red wine in one big gulp. Damn that Russell Carl for stealing the limelight again! “Jacky, what’s wrong? Are you also upset with that hypocritical act of Russell’s?” On one side, another middle-aged man nudged Jacky with his elbow and asked. Jacky snorted coldly and said, “I just can't get used to the way he looks. It’s as though everything is within his calculations.” “Hehe, I share the same thoughts as you. Russell Carl is our enemy. With him around, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to get any credit in front of Mr. Johnston,” the man took a sip of red wine and said. Jacky frowned, clenched his fists fiercely, and said, “One Russell Carl is not enough to pose a threat.” “Jacky, I have to disagree with you on this. Now, Mr. Johnston has attached more importance to him compared to you. If we don't do something, I'm afraid it won't be long before Russell will drive all of us
Looking at the casket Philip had brought over, Martin shook with anger as his face flushed red. He pointed at Philip and shouted, “You! How dare you act so arrogantly?! Are you disrespecting me? Philip Clarke, don’t forget that I’m Wynn’s second uncle! We’re related by blood! If I tell Wynn that you did this to me, do you think she’ll stand on your side or mine?” Martin was fuming. How dare Philip send him a gift like this? Was this not cursing him to die soon? Bernard also looked angry as he pointed at Philip and shouted, “Insolence! Philip, as a junior, what’s your intention in sending such a gift to your elders? If my eldest brother and sister-in-law find out about this, they’ll definitely punish you severely!” Bernard’s eyes were cold, and his face was full of anger! This damned Philip was too audacious! When the others saw Philip giving such a gift, they were also taken aback for a brief moment. Then, they pointed at Philip and berated angrily, “Chairman Clarke, this is
What did he mean by that? Would he dare to do anything to him? “What do you mean?” Martin asked warily. Philip chuckled and said, “Martin Johnston, my decision has never changed since the beginning. Since you’ve chosen to be Beacon and Wynn’s enemy, you should’ve gotten prepared for my retaliation. As for that secret in your hands, leak it out if you have the guts. Do you dare to make a bet with me? As long as you dare to expose the secret, I’ll kill you!” Martin froze, stunned by Philip’s indifferent appearance and calm attitude. The look in his eyes was terrifying. It seemed that as long as he leaked it out, what awaited him would be death! Hmph! Bernard snorted coldly, pointed at Philip, and shouted angrily, “Philip, don’t be arrogant! Are you treating us like pushovers who’ll be intimidated by a few words? We now own Martin Pharmaceutical and have so many talents. Can you really compete with us? Besides, even if we expose the secret, so what? Do you really dare to k
At this moment, Philip was like a battle god incarnate. His face was chilly, and his pupils reflected a biting killing intent! This sight stunned everyone in the suite! Hiss! What a shocking aura! Was this really the usually wretched Philip Clarke? Too horrifying! Martin was also shocked by Philip’s angry roar. He immediately took two steps back and stammered, “You… What do you want to do?” Philip looked grim. Behind him, Theo waved his hand and a dozen thugs in black suits quickly subdued everyone else. “Let go of us! Who are you to capture us?” “Let go! Theo Zander, what’s the matter with you? You're the kingpin of Riverdale. Why are you acting like a bodyguard for this guy?” “Philip, hurry up and tell them to stop. You’re making an illegal arrest!” Several people bellowed angrily but Theo and his men would not listen at all. They were waiting for Philip’s next orders. At this moment, Philip’s eyes were dark and cold. He glared at Martin in front of him as h
What if they accidentally annoyed Philip and got beaten up as a result? Therefore, all of them chose to protect themselves at the moment. They lowered their heads and were too afraid to speak up, but they still glanced around furtively. With a grave face, Philip stared at Martin whose face was flushed. The man was panting aloud. Philip said coldly, “Martin, I’ve given you many chances but you didn’t know how to appreciate them. I’ve considered using money to make you understand the difference between you and me, but after thinking about it carefully, I think it’s meaningless. It's better for me to personally let you experience the pain so that you may remember it for a lifetime!” After that, Philip directly threw Martin on the coffee table and the entire glass coffee table shattered into pieces! The broken glass stuck to Martin's back, arms, and legs, causing him to grimace in pain! “Aargh! Philip, how dare you do this to me?! I swear I won’t let you off!” Martin shouted. H
Immediately after, miserable screams from the crowd could be heard from the suite. It lasted about ten minutes before Theo wiped his hands with a towel, glanced at the people on the floor, and said, “Deal with it cleanly. Throw them to the next city and let them beg for the rest of their lives.” After that, Theo walked out of the suite and approached Philip who was smoking. He said respectfully, “Mr. Clarke, it’s been dealt with cleanly. Where do you want to go next?” “Go to the media arranged by Martin.” Philip’s face was calm as he exhaled smoke while asking, “Is everything else ready?” Theo nodded and replied, “It’s all ready. Not even a smidgen of Mrs. Clarke’s secret will be leaked. I’ve already contacted all the media in Riverdale. As for Martin’s people, I’ve also sent people to monitor all of them. The signal in the area they’re in has been cut.” Philip nodded, glanced at the suite, and turned to leave. Theo followed closely behind. When Bernard noticed no more
Jim hurried to the nearest computer to take a look. With a twitch of his eye, he said, “F*ck! No internet at this time? What’s going on?” “The neighborhood is being demolished. Could it be that the network cable has been cut?” “Don't worry, just call and ask.” One of them dialed the number of the telecommunication company. After questioning, he replied, “They said there’s no disconnection notice on our side and no one nearby has reported the same problem. It's not the signal.” “How is that possible? Isn't this obviously a case of disconnection?” Someone was anxious. Jim was also anxious as he glanced at the sky outside. His sixth sense gave him a bad feeling as if something was about to happen. “Everyone, check your phones to see if there's a signal,” Jim quickly said as he took out his phone to check. “Holy sh*t, there's no signal on my phone either!” “What the hell is going on here?” Jim saw that there was also no signal on his phone, but he had just answered a call
Jim looked at the information with a solemn expression on his face before he looked up at Philip and asked, “Mr. Clarke, are you sure you want to do this?” Philip nodded and said, “Ten minutes, can you do it? If not, I’ll find someone else. If you can, it’ll offset your blunder.” Jim gritted his teeth, immediately stood up, and said, “Yes, I can!” After that, he said to his subordinates behind him, “Everyone, hurry up! Spread the information on this paper to the entire Riverdale in ten minutes!” Philip did not bother to stay here for long. He simply turned around and left, leaving the rest for Theo to handle. Ten minutes later in the hospital ward Bernard rushed into the ward and shouted, “Martin, something went wrong! Jim betrayed us and was caught by Philip. Moreover, media all over Riverdale are broadcasting news about us embezzling Beacon’s funds. It’s also a trending search on Twitter right now. Even those things about us oppressing people have been dug up. What should
“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
