Master Eight was startled. Why did this voice sound so familiar? He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with his hair combed back jogging over while glaring at him coldly. It was one of the three lords of Uppercreek, Victor Bell! Master Eight immediately began sweating and lost all his arrogance from before! Although he was known as one of the four underground kings of Uppercreek, he knew full well that he and Victor were not on the same level at all. Master Eight was simply a boss on the streets and made a living through gang activities without much of a background. He just relied on his seniority and a large number of underlings. As for Victor Bell, he had a huge background and owned countless businesses in Uppercreek. His wealth and power made him reign at the top of Uppercreek’s underground forces. In front of Victor, Master Eight was no more than a minion. “M-Master Bell, what brings you here?” Master Eight was a little flustered, wondering if the boss behi
Before Victor finished speaking, Philip quickly grabbed Victor and pointed behind him. Since just now, the sounds of fighting had ceased. Wynn had already rolled down the car window slightly, peeking out to check the situation. Victor quickly changed his tone when he noticed that. “Oh, he’s a relative of Hoyt Luther, the director of the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce! How dare you stop his car! Are you tired of living?” Hearing that, Master Eight was shocked. Master Eight was already in his 50s and had always held an average position among the underground forces in Uppercreek. In terms of seniority, he was considered a veteran with many underlings. However, in terms of power, he was far beneath Victor. The biggest reason was that he did not have a background in business. Now, this person he had surrounded was a relative of the director of the chamber of commerce, Hoyt Luther! No wonder Victor thought so highly of him! If Master Eight knew that Philip was in fact the
The elegant woman sitting on the sofa smiled as she looked at Wynn and nodded. Then, she turned her gaze to Philip and said with a smile, “Phil, don’t you want to introduce your fourth mother?” Only then did Philip smile and help Wynn sit down. He said, “Wynnie, this is my fourth mother.” Fourth mother? Wynn was startled as her eyes doubtfully fell on Philip as she asked, “Father-in-law’s fourth love—” Philip quickly cut her off and made eyes at her. The graceful woman chuckled and said, “It’s okay, Phil. What Wynnie said is true.” Wynn realized her slip of the tongue and quickly laughed to cover her embarrassment while saying, “Sorry, Fourth Mother.” The woman smiled and took a delicate small gift box from the bodyguard behind her with her jade-like hands. She handed it to Wynn with a smile and said, “It’s our first meeting and I don’t know what you like, so I just prepared a random gift for you. I hope you don’t mind.” She laughed and joked, the smile on her face look
Philip leisurely took a sip of tea and said, “What did my dad say?” “What can he say? He avoided the confrontation all three times, which means you need to solve it yourself,” Hazel said and grumbled a little, “I wonder what your dad is thinking. How can you solve such a big matter by yourself? That’s the chieftain of the branch family. He represents the entire branch family.” When Hazel said this, she was expressing her worries for Philip. Philip chuckled and said, “Fourth Mother, do you trust me and my dad?” Hazel was taken aback and said, “Of course, how could I not trust the two of you?” “In that case, you can keep your worries to yourself. I know what I'm doing. If the branch family dares to cross the line, the ending that awaits them won’t be pleasant,” Philip said flatly. “But what if the chieftain of the branch family makes a move against you and your dad?” Hazel asked worriedly. Philip got up, put his arms behind his back, and stood in front of the large French w
Wynn raised her eyebrows, looked at Philip, and said with a faint smile, “No. If you want to tell me, I’m willing to listen. If you don't want to, then don't. I'll wait for the day you're willing to tell me.” Philip was taken aback. He looked at Wynn and watched as she played with Mila with her bulging stomach. A strong feeling suddenly surged in his heart. He walked over, hugged Wynn from behind, and leaned on her shoulder while saying, “Wynnie, one day you’ll know that your husband is not a wastrel. On that day, you’ll be the happiest woman in the world. This is what I promise you.” Wynn smiled, her small fair hand grasping Philip's big hand. She said tenderly, “I know. All along, I’ve known in my heart you’re not what they say. I’ve been waiting, hoping that this day will come soon. In fact, even if you’re really worthless, you’re still my husband and Mila’s father, do you understand?” Philip nodded and said, “I understand.” After being intimate for a while, Philip took Wy
Charles tried to interrupt several times but was stopped by Martha’s glare. “Mom, that’s enough! What nonsense are you talking about?” Wynn got anxious. She glared at Martha before looking at Philip and said, “Philip, I’m sorry. My mother…” Philip smiled, shook his head helplessly, and said, “It’s fine.” After that, he said to Wynn, “I think it's better to let them know about some things.” Wynn was startled and fell silent. Her expression seemed torn with hesitation. Charles and Martha panicked when they heard their words and saw their actions. “Wynnie, what is it? What are you hiding from me? Tell us.” Martha was anxious. She could tell that Wynn was keeping something from her. After thinking for a long time, Wynn said with hesitation, “Mom, don't get too angry when I tell you.” “Okay, fine, just tell me quickly.” Martha was flustered now. Wynn looked at her father and said, “Dad, Uncle Martin and Uncle Bernard embezzled Beacon and even charged me with a false accu
Upon hearing this, Charles and Martha fell silent. Philip had made it clear enough. If Martin and Bernard really did something illegal, Philip would not let them off the hook. After much hesitation, Charles asked, “Can you not take it to the extreme? After all, they’re my second and third brothers. They’re Wynn’s uncles.” Philip thought about it and replied, “Dad, what if they had tried to send Wynn to prison and wanted to kill the two of you?” Martha immediately panicked at his words and shouted, “Philip, in that case, be tough on them! Take things to the extreme!” Martha did not wish to die. Charles was very surprised and hurt that his brothers would backstab him. Charles shook his head, got up helplessly, and left the room. Wynn looked at Charles’ departing back and felt very sad. She suddenly thought that her father had aged a lot at that moment. “Philip, if possible, I still hope that you won’t be too tough on my uncles.” Wynn raised her eyebrows and looked at Ph
Very well. This woman turned out to be Ruby Ford. What was she doing in Uppercreek? “Damn it! I was wondering who it was. I didn't think it was you, the wimp!” Ruby’s expression was full of displeasure as she patted the dust off her hips unhappily. Philip only chuckled and stood aside awkwardly. “I didn’t expect that after such a long time, you’re still such a loser. What are you doing here?” Ruby looked at Philip smugly while sizing him up. F*ck! Ruby felt very upset at the thought of the embarrassing scene in front of Philip back then. Later, after much inquiry, she learned that Philip’s family was rich but she also heard that they had gone bankrupt! He was still a loser! “Nothing, I'm just here to take a look,” Philip replied. “Take a look? At what?” Ruby’s pretty face darkened. Then, when something came to mind, her jaw dropped as she asked with disdain, “I see. Is it because your Clarke Group has gone bankrupt and Beacon has also been taken over by your uncle
“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
