“So, you’re…” Joey no longer dared to be impudent at this time and stammered. Philip smiled and said, “That’s right, I’m the young master of that Clarke family. Just a young master, don’t think too much.” Joey fell to his knees with a thud. When he first worked as a liquor merchant back then, he had witnessed the devastating power of the Clarke family! However, he heard that it was only done by a very inconspicuous person under the Clarke family. They were not surnamed Clarke but just working for the Clarke family. Now, a certain young master of the Clarke family was standing right in front of him. No wonder he could mobilize half of Uppercreek in such a short time. Not to mention Uppercreek but he could probably even mobilize half of South River if he wanted to! Joey quickly bowed and knocked his head on the floor until his forehead was almost bleeding. “Young Master Clarke, please forgive me! I didn’t know it was you! It’s that bastard Jacky Cullen who made me do this
“Give him a good beating before tossing him back to Bernard Johnston!” Philip said coldly. “Philip, no way, you can’t do this to me! I’m Wynn’s cousin!” Liam had gone totally limp at this point. Seeing Victor and the others surrounding him, his knees went weak as he knelt on the spot. “Brother-in-law, I’m begging you, please forgive me this time. I won’t dare to do it again!” With that said, he even knocked his forehead on the floor! However, everything was in vain. What awaited him would be a storm of violent bashing! … Ten minutes later, Liam was limp on the floor. It was an unbearable sight. His face was already swollen like a pig’s head. Philip glanced at him blandly and said to Victor, “Send him to Bernard Johnston and tell him that this is just a small warning. If they still don't know how to hold themselves back after this, I won't give them another chance!” After saying that, Philip left Joey Brewery. As for Joey Cullen, Jacky Cullen, and the rest, they were
“What’s wrong with you? Why did you bring him out? You’re not planning to accept him, are you?” While saying that, Joy glanced at Wynn’s stomach helplessly. She knew that Wynn was pregnant. At first, she even urged her to get an abortion. After all, if Wynn carried another child, she and Philip would really be inseparable. How could Joy bear to watch her best friend live a miserable life with a loser? Wynn smiled like a peach blossom and said, “Joy, you’ve misunderstood. Philip has changed and is no longer the Philip from before.” With that said, Wynn looked back at Philip with love and tenderness in her eyes. Joy shook her head speechlessly and said, “My goodness, what’s wrong with this world? You actually accepted him?!” Wynn rolled her eyes at her before dragging her into the department store. Joy was helpless and could only compromise for now. All was good as long as her best friend could live happily. She wondered what drug Philip had given her! Joy Cabot was the
The woman was rather delicate-looking. She was holding the arm of the man next to her. He was quite good-looking and dressed expensively. He must be rich. Philip and Wynn turned around to look and their faces immediately darkened. This woman was no stranger to Philip and Wynn. She was once Philip’s suitor in university, and she deliberately went against Wynn in every aspect simply because Philip rejected her. Just like that, hatred was born from love. Her name was Clara Nolan, and she was an arrogant woman who thought that everyone was beneath her. Clara was just passing by when she saw Philip and Wynn. She did not expect to run into them here after not seeing each other for so many years! When she saw Philip looking at Wynn so tenderly, the hatred from the past welled up after being sealed in her heart for so long. Thus, she immediately went in, wanting to humiliate Wynn and the others a little. Although she had not been in Riverdale in the past years, she still knew a
At this time, the rich guy who came with Clara suddenly spoke. “Clara, is this Philip Clarke the worthless punk you mentioned to me before?” he said with disdain. Clara chuckled and said, “Yes, Henley. Who else can it be? A loser like him is an embarrassment wherever he goes! Forget it, I’m here to buy clothes today. I’m not in the mood to talk nonsense with you guys.” After saying that, Clara stepped forward and pushed Philip away. Taking Henley’s arm, she walked into the clothing store coquettishly. Philip’s heart was full of anger and he was about to explode when Wynn stopped him upon noticing it. “Philip, let’s not cause trouble. Just put up with it and ignore her,” Wynn said. If not for the child in her stomach, she would not be tolerating Clara’s willful behavior. In the next few minutes, whichever nice-looking clothes Clara set her eyes on, she would casually ask to get them in her size and told the attendant to wrap them up. She neither asked for the price nor tri
“What?” Joy fumed and said, “If you give them this dress, we won’t buy anything either!” The attendant looked at Joy coldly and said, “I don’t think you intended to buy anything in the first place.” “Damn it! Believe it or not, I can buy all the clothes in your shop!” Joy said angrily. She was indeed capable of doing so. The daughter of the Cabot family, one of the four great families in Uppercreek, was not a presence anyone could compare to. However, Old Master Cabot placed importance on education and self-reliance when he raised his children. Hence, Joy had developed a habit of being frugal since childhood and would not spend money recklessly. Even if she did, she only spent the money that she earned. However, if she were to get really angry, she would call her brother and make him buy her the entire shop. Despite that, she had a strong personality and would not beg her father or brother unless it was the last resort. The shop attendant simply ignored her this time.
Joy looked at Philip viciously and felt sorry for Wynn. Then, she took out a tissue from her bag and wiped Wynn’s tears with it as she said, “It’s okay. Let’s go to another shop and I’ll buy something for you!” Philip’s heart tightened. Without another moment of delay, he grabbed both Wynn and Joy’s arms, one with each hand. He dragged them into the shop and said to the shop attendant, “Are you saying that whoever buys more, you’ll sell the clothes to that party?” Clara was still gloating about it when she saw them return. She mocked them, saying, “These fools haven’t left yet.” Henley Dill laughed when he heard Philip’s words, sized him up, and said, “Oh? Buddy, from what you’re saying, are you trying to compare your wealth with me?” Wynn was baffled when she was pulled along by Philip. Seeing that Philip was now going up against this nouveau riche, she quickly tugged on Philip’s arm and said, “It’s okay, I was just a little angry. Let’s go. Let’s not argue with them.” To
“Hahaha!” Henley laughed raucously. Philip said he was richer than him and his wealth was beyond their imagination. “Buddy, are you right in the head? Is there something wrong with you? Why did you start talking crazy?” Henley smiled mockingly. Clara shook with laughter next to him, holding her sides while saying, “Oh, Philip, I really have to give it to you. I've never seen someone like you who is poor but still demands respect. Do you know what happens when you brag too much?” Philip looked at them coldly and said, “If I said that I’ll buy everything, it means that I’ll buy everything. I’m not bragging.” Henley smiled as he shook his head and mocked. “Okay then, I’ll watch as you pay for it, okay? If you can really shell out the money, I'll immediately get out of this store, alright?” The attendant glanced at Philip coldly. Of course, she would not believe that a loser could be so rich. He was just pretending to talk big. She did not take Philip seriously at all. “Sir
“He lost his family when their enemies sought revenge while he was very young, so he's quite pitiful in a way.” Philip was not concerned about it. The life story of a loser had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Bryce was clearly up to no good. Getting to know him was a waste of time. “I found all the information he researched. To be honest, I’d think highly of him if he weren't up to no good.” Rabbit waved his paw smugly. He had looked through Bryce’s things and knew exactly what he had researched. Philip looked at a bottle of potion and could tell everything at a glance. “He’s a genius, indeed, but there’s no saving someone with bad intentions.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Bryce could only blame his bad luck for encountering them today. Carlos quickly took care of Bryce. There was no point in keeping such an evil villain. There was no need to be charitable in this situation. Adam looked at the room and sighed helplessly at Bryce’s unfortunate end. Although he had
Philip was curious about this situation. Since he could not get any information from the stubborn hooded man, he would find out indirectly. “That’s enough. Take him away. He has no value to us anyway. It's better to send him away.,” Philip said with disdain and did not take him seriously at all. The hooded man was shocked to hear that Philip was sending him away. He was nervous and afraid that Philip would do something to him. Although he was selfish and unreasonable, he was also a coward and afraid of death. Everyone sighed helplessly at his mournful wails. Adam closed his eyes, unwilling to get involved. Seeing this, Philip believed that Adam was unwilling to pay attention to his nephew, but he was still curious. If they were closely related, why would this guy's family sever all ties with Adam? It was advantageous to be on good terms with Adam. Not only would they receive guidance on practice, but they could also listen to his lectures from time to time. For example,
Philip and the old monk greeted each other happily as if they were old friends. Carlos was surprised to see Philip on such good terms with the high and mighty old monk. This was something he had never even dared to dream about. It was unbelievable that he could sit and drink happily with the old monk one day. “Let me introduce my friends.” Philip calmly introduced everyone around him, ignoring Carlos’ anxiety. Carlos stood up when he saw the old monk. “Hello, my name is Carlos. I admire you very much. I never thought that I'd be able to meet you one day. It’s my honor.” Carlos was happy and excited to get more perks than the guild leader. The old monk was quite friendly. After greeting Carlos with a smile, he looked at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “I want to find out if you know someone.” After saying this, Philip asked Carlos to bring the hooded man out. The guy was tied up tightly and looked pitiful. More importantly, his clothes had been stripped off,
The hooded man woke up very soon, and he could not believe that Philip caught him. “What's going on? How did you catch me? This is impossible.” He was very confident in himself and knew that no one could catch him so easily, but reality had just proven him wrong. He had no choice but to believe it. “What's impossible? You underestimate me too much!” Rabbit snapped furiously. “What’s your name?” Philip stared at the man curiously. He had a feeling that this person was the same as the old monk. “Rabbit, call the old monk over. I want to speak to him. He may not know you, so you need to tell him who you are.” After interrogating this man, Philip wanted to speak to the old monk and find out his opinion about this hooded man. Since the two gave him the same feeling, they had to be connected somehow. Rabbit hopped over to find the old monk. He knew that the old monk was the best referral for this matter because he was very powerful and knowledgeable. The old monk was resting
On the other hand, Lincoln was shocked to find that Hogster was dead. Lincoln had been watching the situation and knew that Philip was a powerful person. Everything was most likely related to Philip. However, he never thought that Philip could make people stronger. He had heard of some special circumstances that could improve someone’s strength. He had roughly guessed the implications but never paid much attention to the matter. In his opinion, the Hexa Guild was already ruined. If he wanted to save the guild, he had to get rid of Alain and his people. Lincoln had lost trust in the guild. If he had not left his seclusion by chance, he would not have bothered about anything. “Forget it. Stop throwing your weight around. Since your son died a tragic death, I won’t make things difficult for you,” Carlos said in disdain.He knew what Alain had done, so he did not have a good impression of him. Although his remark sounded a little hurtful, it felt good to say it. The other guil
“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
