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
Ruby was stunned and looked at Philip incredulously. A second later, she laughed in exasperation and said to Philip mockingly, “What did you say? Can you even do anything to me?” Philip did not speak and clenched his fists, expressing his emotions through his eyes. Ruby pointed at his nose and scolded, “Rubbish! A piece of trash like you dares to do anything to me? I’m the manager of the public relations department of the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce. In terms of position and status, how can you be compared to me? “Do you think you can act arrogant just because you used to be rich? You’re nothing but a dog right now. Do you really think of yourself as a human being?” Ruby cursed like a shrew and said harsh words. Philip’s face changed, and his heart was full of anger. He said, “So what if you’re the PR manager? Believe it or not, one word from me and you’ll be out of here!” Ruby almost died of laughter. This fool, Philip Clarke, could actually say such arrogant word
Philip’s temper flared. After all, he was the heir of the Clarke family, and even this chamber of commerce belonged to him. Although he kept a low profile, he could not allow these bugs to harass and look down on him. “You’re pretty tough, huh?” The security captain, Dave Carter, looked at Philip with sarcasm. Was this silly kid not right in the head? Did Philip not see his people standing behind him? How dare he act tough? He was simply putting himself at gunpoint and looking for death! “Come on, boys, kick him out for me!” The corners of Dave’s eyes froze as he said viciously, “It's really an interesting day today, meeting a blind idiot with no foresight.” In a flash, several security guards rushed over and pushed Philip to drive him away. Suddenly! An angry rebuke rang out at the entrance of the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce! “Stop it!” Hoyt Luther had run down with his assistant. As soon as he went out, he saw a group of people surrounding Young Master Clarke
“I can’t afford to have you calling me Brother Clarke.” Philip sneered and said, “You’re the manager of the public relations department of the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce. Who am I? A loser who’s applying for a job as a security guard.” Ruby knew that Philip was making fun of her ignorance. With a self-conscious look, she thought about it and once again bent over to apologize. “Brother Clarke, I really made a horrible mistake this time. I was blind and looked down on you. I beg you, on account of my past relationship with Howard, please don’t drive me away.” Ruby was afraid. It had not been easy for her to get a job with a high salary and prestige. If she lost this job, she would surely regret it! Philip glanced at Ruby and waved his hand. “I don't want to see you again.” Then, he turned to Dave Carter, the security captain who was standing at the side. At this time, Dave looked as if he had seen a ghost. He quickly bent down and apologized, “Young Master Clarke, I’m s
With a sneer, Philip said, “Bring him up. You can handle him while I observe on the side.” “Yes, Young Master Clarke,” Hoyt replied. A few minutes later, Liam approached with a face full of smiles. He stretched his hand out and said fawningly, “Oh, Director Luther, we’re finally meeting. I’m full of excitement and anticipation.” Hoyt smiled slightly and said, “Manager Johnston, you’re too kind.” Seeing that Hoyt was shaking hands with him, Liam immediately smiled. It seemed that there was a chance for him to cooperate with the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce today. Sure enough, Liam Johnston was the cream of the crop and the future of the Johnston family. As long as they could cooperate, the position of general manager in the company would be his! However, with a flick of his eyes, he suddenly saw someone else in the office. The said person was sitting on the sofa and drinking coffee in a dignified manner. “Philip Clarke? What is a wastrel like you doing here?” Liam’s fa
Upon hearing this, Liam got agitated. He turned around, glared at Philip angrily, and yelled, “Philip Clarke, no one will treat you as a mute if you don't speak! Besides, this is my Johnston family’s business. It’s no place for you to intervene! Or are you seeking justice for your wife? Hehe, why don’t you take a good look at yourself and Wynn? Do you think Director Luther is an ignorant person like you? He’ll definitely agree to cooperate with my dad's company. At that time, I’ll personally kick you and Wynn, that little tramp, out of the Johnston family! I’ll make sure to take over Beacon!” After scolding Philip, Liam felt very relieved! He had finally vented his frustration. In the past few days, he had heard his dad praising Philip up to the skies! What did it matter if Philip had some money and followers? By the looks of him now, he was still nothing more than a loser! A leopard could never change its spots! He had money and people? Ridiculous! It must be because of
“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
