Philip sneered as his eyes swept over the angry Bernard and Liam. Then, he pulled over a chair and sat down before ordering the waiter to prepare a set of cutleries for him. He started to eat the food calmly as he said, “Aren't you supposed to discuss cooperation with the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce? Go on, continue your discussion.” Hearing this, Bernard was stunned and a little confused. He frowned and asked, “What do you mean by that? What does my discussion with the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce regarding a cooperation have to do with you? Don't think that just because you know some people you’re invincible. This is Uppercreek, and Director Luther is the one in charge of the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce. Who do you think you are? Get out of here!” Bernard was already controlling his patience and temper. He dared not go too far with Philip and only wanted to drive him away. However, the next scene caused Bernard and the others to pop their eyes wide open. It shocked them
Hearing this, Bernard’s face was grim. He stared at Philip and asked gruffly, “What exactly do you want?” Philip stood with his arms folded and said with chills in his eyes, “You don't have many chances left. If not for the sake of my father-in-law and Wynn, you and Martin would have already died a hundred times. Bernard, go back and tell Martin not to try to retaliate against me or the people around me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” After that, the entire private room fell quiet. Everyone dared not make a sound. Bernard’s face flushed as the corners of his eyes throbbed with anger. Philip was too arrogant for words! “Hmph! Philip, don’t think I’ll be afraid of you because of your threats! Just you wait. I’ll make you kneel and beg for mercy someday.” Bernard waved his hand and left with his people. Liam and Jacky Cullen sent Bernard off at the entrance. The two exchanged glances, and Jacky said angrily, “Manager Johnston, should we just let this go? Ph
More than 20 minutes later, Philip arrived at the entrance of a company called Joey Brewery. Just as he was about to enter the door, he was stopped by a few security guards. “Hey, what are you doing here? This is a distillery, not a wine shop. No visitors are allowed. If you want to buy alcohol, go to the shop at the front. Hurry up and go away!” Several security guards said in a huff. At this time, Philip’s face was full of anger and his tone was cold, “Tell your boss to come out here!” “Our boss? What are you trying to do? Who are you to tell him to come out? Don’t look for trouble or we’ll break your legs, you hear?” the security guards said. Philip could not be bothered to talk to them and was about to barge in when he was stopped by the security guards again. Philip said angrily, “This is none of your business. Move aside!” “Oh?” The few security guards got angry when they heard that. Where did this cocky person come from? “Are you tired of living? Do you know
Before Joey could say anything, Otis laughed smugly. “That’s right, I’m the one who did it! What can you do about it?” Joey frowned. Otis was really brainless. What if Philip had a recorder on him or something? Otis sneered as he knocked the steel baseball bat in his hand and said, “Damn it, you're lucky you didn't burn to death. How dare you come here? I’m telling you, don’t f*cking think of stepping out of this door today. I’m going to kill you right here!” When Otis said that, the 20 to 30 thugs around were already eager to make a move. At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed past! Before Otis could react, Philip was already in front of him. He jumped and kicked Otis right in the face! Otis immediately flew out and slammed into the back of the office door before he fell heavily to the floor. He covered his mouth, coughed hard, and spat out two front teeth. Everyone was stunned! Philip lifted his foot, patted the dust off his pants, and said coldly, “If you want to
Philip smiled and said, “Whether it’s a bluff or not, you’ll find out soon enough. I advise you to take this opportunity to kneel and apologize for your crime. I might consider granting you a way out. Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll have to spend the rest of your life in prison.” “Oh? Haha, you stinking brat, still pretending to be cocky, aren’t you? Do you think you can scare me? And you even want me to spend time in prison?! You think you’re so awesome, huh?” Otis said. Now that the boss was in Philip’s hands, he dared not move recklessly. As soon as the boss was out of danger, he would definitely kill Philip the first chance he got! Philip sneered and slowly sipped on his tea. Joey was in an awkward position. As Philip was sitting and the position was fairly low, he could only squat next to him because his neck was being grabbed by Philip. The sight of him like this was too lowly. Joey Cullen was about to go crazy with anger! Joey Brewery was considered one of the three large
“Where did the dirt on your hands come from? Manager Cullen, don’t tell me you fell into the mud? Philip asked coldly. Jacky was instantly flustered and quickly defended himself, saying, “Chairman Clarke, I tripped and fell down just now.” “If you fell, why isn’t your body dirty?” Philip said. “This…” Jacky stuttered and could not complete a full sentence. “Let me tell you what happened, Manager Cullen. This is the dirt from the vase which you threw from the window, wanting to smash it over my head, right?” When Philip said this, his voice sounded like muffled thunder and the cold light in his eyes kept flickering. Jacky fell on his knees with a loud thud! “Chairman Clarke, I was wrong! Please have mercy on me. Joey, help me plead with him!” Jacky said to Joey. His cousin was his last ray of hope. Joey frowned, took a deep breath, and looked at Victor, saying, “Victor, we’ve never crossed paths before today. You’ve now captured my cousin and brought so many people to caus
As soon as Philip said that, Joey, Otis, and the others could not help chuckling. Those words sounded like wishful thinking! Was Philip Clarke not right in the head? Why would the alcohol sellers refuse to buy their cheap and premium alcohol that was produced locally? That would be no different from asking them to bear losses. Even if Philip knew Victor and had a bit of money, could he restrict the entire alcohol industry in Uppercreek? Joey said, “Okay, I’ll make this bet with you today! If you can do it, I’ll reverse my name from now today onward!” Philip smiled lightly and said, “As you wish!” With that said, he picked up his phone and dialed a number. “You!” The veins on Joey’s forehead throbbed with anger. He wanted to step forward but Victor and his men stood next to him like Philip’s protectors. Joey could only give up. This was also why Philip stopped keeping Joey hostage after Victor showed up. After so many events, Philip had put more trust in Victor by
Joey’s hands trembled as the phone fell to the floor. What was going on? Just now, the other party had still called him a buddy and wanted to help him settle things. Now, he wanted to end all cooperation just like that? Breaking off all cooperation in the business world was no different from severing a friendship! Joey and Mr. Saunders had known each other for more than ten years, but their relationship was severed just like that? Moreover, he did it in such a hurry without even a proper farewell—just like a scumbag on a one-night stand! Joey stood dumbfounded on the spot! He recalled what Mr. Saunders had just said, he was in deep trouble. Joey unconsciously glanced at Philip. Philip was looking at Joey with a face full of amusement. Joey’s temper flared as he picked up the phone and dialed another number. “Hello, Mr. Cooke, I’m Joey Cullen—” “Oh, Joey, I’m sorry to tell you this, but we won’t need the goods for this month. Please refund the order, and we won’t
“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
