He knew that his strength alone was not enough to bring Hector Dunley back. However, he dared not resist Philip’s order or make any excuses to reject him. After thinking about it, Victor made a suggestion. “Young Master Clarke, based on the current situation, it’ll be difficult for me to intervene in the affairs in Charbury. The foundation of the Dunley family in Charbury is too solid and I may not be able to bring Hector back in a short time.” Philip nodded and said, “You can just assist me in this matter. I have my own arrangements.” After that, he dialed George’s number and said, “I want to overthrow Homer Dunley’s lineage in Charbury.” Philip still had his limits. Since this was a problem that involved only Homer Dunley and his son, it was enough to punish their family without involving other innocent people. On the other end of the phone, George looked grave. He had just investigated the Dunley family and obtained a lot of background information. The Dunley family of C
In Homer Dunley’s villa in Charbury. At this moment, Homer was in the living room, sitting on a luxurious leather sofa while sipping on warm tea. Next to him, his son Hector was venting angrily, saying, “Dad, that damned Philip Clarke even tried to stop me in Uppercreek. Hehe, I must get him back for this!” Homer glanced at his son and said unhappily, “That’s enough! Do you have any idea how much trouble you’ve caused? He has already contacted me just now!” Hector was taken aback before saying in an unperturbed manner, “He contacted you? Did he ask to settle it privately or something? I just injured a female nanny. It was just one knock and she passed out. It’s her fault for not being physically fit enough to resist a beating. Besides, there’s nothing remarkable about Philip. He just knows a guy by the name of Heath, who happens to be a subordinate of Victor Bell in Uppercreek. Even if Victor personally came to Charbury, there’s nothing to fear! This is the territory of the Dun
“Homer Pharmaceutical, return my hard-earned money! You bunch of cheaters!” “Homer Pharmaceutical has victimized old helpless people like us. They say we can live up to 99 years old if we use their health care products. But now, several of my friends have been hospitalized after taking their products!” “The chairman of Homer Pharmaceutical, Homer Dunley, once promised us that we can get dividends if we buy their health care products—like buying shares. Now that we’re here for the dividends, they’re giving us all kinds of reasons and excuses. They even got hooligans from the streets to drive us away. Sometimes, those people even lay a hand on old men and women like us!” Hundreds of elderly people appeared on the camera. They were standing in the cold wind, frantically condemning Homer Pharmaceutical. Seeing this scene, Homer could not help but smash the remote control in his hand. Then, he picked up the phone, dialed the number of the general manager of the local news channel, a
The instant he heard this name, Homer was stunned! Philip Clarke? How could it be? That man only had some influence in Uppercreek. How could it reach Charbury? Moreover, Homer Pharmaceutical was one of the top companies here with many supporters behind it. By doing this, it was tantamount to challenging Homer’s patience and prestige, as well as challenging the company’s backers! “Neal, don't you f*cking bullsh*t me right now! How could Philip’s hand reach Charbury?” Homer’s face grew colder with deep resentment in his gaze. To his surprise, Neal grinned and said, “Mr. Dunley, I'm afraid you don’t understand. Your four units of dividends are nothing compared to the benefits they promised me. Besides, it’s also difficult to determine how long Mr. Clarke’s hands can reach. I can only give you a word of advice—don’t be too pretentious and look down on others. This Mr. Clarke is likely to be the jinx in your life.” Hearing this, Homer was very upset. However, he could not be
“Damn it! How dare Neal Pearce pull another trick on me at this point?! Once I regain my foothold, I'll make sure his life is worse than death!” Homer cursed. On the side, Hector could not help but say at this moment, “Dad, that Neal Pearce is nothing but a cunning fox. I never had a good impression of him before. But he has so much evidence against us in his hands, what should we do? Why don’t we expose him first? That way, that old fogey won’t have the chance to deal with us.” Homer pondered before saying, “Nonsense! What a lousy idea! Even though he’s done this to us, we can’t retaliate this way! You have to remember that Neal Pearce is not the only one who has a partnership with our family. If we expose him at this time, what will our other partners think?” Homer was still rational and knew that this absolutely must not happen. Otherwise, not only would he lose Homer Pharmaceutical but he and his son would also be ruined! “Then what should we do now? If this and that won'
Hearing this, Neal immediately said with indignation, “Mr. Dunley, as you know, we’re talking about 30 million dollars right now. If you want me to take the money without doing anything, won’t that be wrong of me?” Milo sneered and said, “You can still do what you need to do, but I’m just saying that you can delay the timing a little. You can broadcast the incident about Homer Pharmaceutical three days later. Now, tell those reporters of yours to withdraw. It’s not like the party behind you wants you to bring down Homer Pharmaceutical tonight, right?” Neal was taken aback, and his eyes darted about. What Milo said made sense. It was certainly possible. If he did things this way, he would not offend the Dunleys nor Philip. This was the best of both worlds. After thinking about it, Neal's heart began to waver. When he was hesitating, Milo spoke again, “Neal, since you’re in Flower City, you should understand what kind of place Charbury is. Here, the Dunley family is king. If yo
Seeing the frown on his father’s face, Hector smiled and said, “Dad, what are you thinking about? Stop worrying. Hasn't the matter been resolved for now? We have three days. Besides, with Seventh Uncle around, who dares to do anything to our family?” “Fool! Don't you understand by now?” Homer glared at Hector angrily and shouted, “30 million dollars! Can you take out 30 million dollars to squander just like that? Moreover, the other party bought off Neal Pearce in just a few minutes. What kind of strength and means does it take to act so quickly within the boundaries of Flower City in Charbury?” Hearing this, Hector was also taken aback. Yes, it was 30 million dollars. If he spent all that money just like that, he would be heartbroken. Moreover, the other party directly bought Neal off within ten minutes after talking to his father. It could be seen that his strength was not to be underestimated. Hector thought about it and said with a snigger, “Dad, maybe he just knows Neal?
Hector shook his head and said, “I didn’t find out anything. The four enforcers of the Nonagon this time are different from those before. They’re keeping information on the direct access spot under a tight lid. Many families ran around asking about it but no one got any definite news. However, I have a friend who heard from the grapevine that the direct access spot this time has already been taken.” Hearing this, Homer asked in surprise, “It’s been taken? Have you found out who it is? What price did the other party pay?” Hector still shook his head and said, “Since this is a rumor, how can I find out? As for the price, it hasn’t been revealed yet but it’s at least ten billion dollars.” “Ten billion?” Homer’s face darkened as he exclaimed. Ten billion was not a small amount! Even Homer Pharmaceutical was only worth over a billion dollars. If he put together all his family assets, it would only total to about two or three billion dollars. It was far from enough. It seemed 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
