Was this a joke? 50 million dollars? His company’s market value was only over a billion. 50 million dollars was equivalent to cutting one of his arms off! If they accepted all the refund requests, what would they do tomorrow? Continue to process refund requests? In that case, his company would go bankrupt immediately! Homer finally realized the severity of this problem and quickly asked, “What the hell is going on? Why are so many people coming to ask for refunds? Is there a problem with our product? Isn't it just an ordinary tranquilizer?” Homer Pharmaceutical was in the business of health care products. Their medicine was neither good nor bad, it was just a normal tranquilizer. It would indeed have some effect on the elderly, but they would not live to 99 years old. Besides, these lonely old people were easy to cheat. As long as their salespeople said some flattering words and visited them a few times, the deal was done. Moreover, they had rebate contracts. Many el
On the other end of the phone, Ernie said tersely, “Master, I’ve arrived in Uppercreek.” “Good!” Homer said coldly, “Find that kid immediately and kill him!” “Understood,” Ernie responded and ended the call. At this moment, he was sitting in the dark car, smoking a cigarette. The scarlet tip of the cigarette looked particularly eye-catching at night. After sitting for a while, Ernie observed the surroundings through the car window. He looked at the hotel where a dozen people were guarding the entrance and looked up. This was the hotel where Philip was staying. According to the young master, his pregnant wife was in this hotel. Menacing intent flashed from the corner of Ernie's eyes. He glanced at the people patrolling around as a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. Such an arrangement could indeed deter many people. However, Ernie was different. He was an expert at assassination, someone who had survived from the edge of the sword. These people arranged b
He found the target. He bit the dagger in his mouth and observed the situation in the room. No one seemed to be in the room except for the target. Then, he slowly removed the vent cover. He waited until Wynn walked to the living room and jumped into the room through the vent opening. The faint noise was masked by the thunder outside. Ernie crouched down as he looked around. Holding a shining dagger in his hand, he approached the woman in the living room who was on the phone with her back facing him. At this moment, Wynn was completely unaware of the danger approaching behind her. She was still on the phone and said anxiously, “Philip, we must cure Anne. This only happened to her because of me.” At this moment, Ernie was already right behind Wynn. The dagger in his hand was aimed at her neck. However, suddenly! A cold female voice rang in the room. “Who sent you here?!” Boom! This sudden sound made Ernie's movements halt in the air! He turned around and saw a
17, who had not made a move, grabbed the two butterfly blades on the coffee table. Two swishes! The butterfly blades flew across the air while rotating in circles before steadily slashing across Ernie’s thigh! After that! The blades turned around and returned to 17’s hands! As for Ernie, he had already fallen to his knees with a thud, blood pooling under his feet! He stared in disbelief at the aloof woman striding over from behind him. She was like a black rose that bloomed amid killings! “Y-You are…” Ernie asked incredulously. The shock in his eyes was like a raging ocean! A woman with such skills was definitely not an ordinary person! Ernie had been in this line for many years and was used to doing underground assassination missions. He had done more than 50 missions without failure! However, he had lost in the hands of this young lady today! Moreover, the woman in front of him had clearly not displayed her full capacity just yet! Boom! Just when Ernie was
As soon as he entered the door, his senses were assaulted by the choking stench of blood. At first glance, he saw Ernie in a pool of blood. It was a truly unbearable sight. 17 was carefully wiping her butterfly blades at this moment. She glanced at Philip indifferently and said, “I got a confession out of him. He was sent here by Homer Dunley of Charbury.” Philip frowned and nodded. He looked at 17’s glamorous and curvaceous, saying, “You’re a woman, after all. Why do you like doing such rough and barbaric things? Aren’t you worried that you won’t be able to get married in the future?” 17 put the butterfly blades behind her waist. Shifting from her cold and scary demeanor, she suddenly turned into a cute little girl and pounced on Philip. Blinking her big eyes, she looked at Philip and said, “I belong to you in this lifetime. Of course, I won’t get married.” Philip quickly pushed her away and said, “Stop fooling around.” 17 pouted and said with a shrug, “I’m not fooling aroun
After receiving Philip’s order, George said to the elites around him, “Young Master has given the order. Let’s begin. We’ll get it done at all costs!” “Yes!” Everyone responded and quickly sprang into action. Those operating on the computers started to bring down the stocks of Homer Pharmaceutical while launching capital warfare against Homer Dunley! Those on the phone contacted the companies and big bosses in Flower City of Charbury who had business dealings with Homer. Using the stick and the carrot method, they warned them not to cooperate with Homer Pharmaceutical and not to help Homer. Of course, the most practical way for these big bosses was to cooperate with these people, steal Homer Pharmaceutical’s business, and empty its market share in Flower City! Others quickly mobilized the Clarke family’s human and material resources in Flower City to impose sanctions on Homer Dunley’s family! In just ten minutes, countless calls came in and out. A mysterious force began
“Philip Clarke?” Homer’s face darkened before he sneered and said, “Damn it, are you trying to scare me? I’m Homer Dunley. What kind of storms have I not weathered? Do you think I’ll be scared with just a few words from you? Okay, come on, I want to see what else you can do!” Snap! Before Homer finished speaking, the other party disconnected the call. F*ck! Homer looked at the phone in his hand and smashed it on the floor in anger! He had already broken several mobile phones tonight! The housekeeper rushed over from the side and cleaned up the mess. She took out a new phone and put it on the coffee table. Homer gasped for air. Just as he was about to pick up his phone, a man in a suit rushed in from the door and shouted while sweating profusely, “Chairman Dunley, things are bad this time!” Homer shuddered and roared coldly, “F*ck it, now what?” The man quickly said, “Our stocks have plunged till the bottom limit. We’ve lost 500 million dollars! The businesses under yo
When Homer heard this, his face darkened and his eyes went dim. He mumbled under his breath, “This is impossible. How could this happen so quickly? Who the hell is he? How could he have such means and strength?” Homer was flustered. For the first time, he felt as if he was facing a problem that could not be solved. He had never taken a young man like Philip seriously before, but in the current situation, he had no choice but to reassess Philip. “Chairman Dunley, what shall we do now? The employees in the company are already talking about resigning and a bunch of our partners came over early in the morning to ask us for goods. Although our people have temporarily held them back, we really can’t stall them any longer. Once they know our current predicament and these partners sue us, it’ll really be over for us!” The man looked anxious, and his forehead was full of cold sweat. Homer took a deep breath to calm his mind and said, “We can’t panic now. You go back and stabilize the
“It’ll take a long time for this little fox to become a human. I think you would've found your other half before that happened.” After exchanging some pleasantries, Philip bade farewell to the shopkeeper and left without further ado. They had to hurry up to find the person Adam was looking for.… Meanwhile, Luther hurried back home unhappily. He never dreamed that he would suffer such humiliation one day. As soon as he returned home, a man greeted him. It was none other than his father, who doted on his son. “What's wrong?” He was surprised to see his son ignoring him. His son was always flashy and arrogant, so his behavior was quite unusual. Luther was in no mood to pay attention to his father. He returned to the room angrily without saying a word. “Guard, what’s going on? Did someone bully my son?” Luther's father, Klein, glared at the guard unhappily, blaming the guard for everything. The guard kneeled in fear and felt sorry for himself. “The young sir was brows
The shopkeeper was clearly relieved by Philip’s remark and direct approach. However, he was also embarrassed by Philip’s bluntness. He smiled at Philip awkwardly as an apology. “Why don’t you recommend a pet for my buddy? It should be a stronger one, preferably a combat type!” Philip glanced at Carlos. He knew that Carlos was too embarrassed to take the initiative. Carlos looked at Philip gratefully, letting out a shy chuckle. The shopkeeper recommended several pets to them. Carlos was dazzled by the sight and wanted them all. Adam looked at the scene with satisfaction. Although he had a high position, he did not have a decent pet either. It was difficult to have a pet in their world. With a wave of his hand, Philip generously bought a pet for each of them. At this time, Philip heard a whine from somewhere. He turned his head curiously and looked for the source of the sound. “What’s that noise?” Philip looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, unable to find the source of
Luther was at a loss for how to react. If the rabbit could speak, it had to be stronger than his pet. Although his pet was very powerful, it was just an ordinary creature that could understand some basic instructions and handle normal interactions. A talking pet was simply to die for. “Wow, how can that monster pet speak? It’s a force to be reckoned with.” Luther was shocked to see a talking pet. It was enviable to have such a powerful monster. Before this, he mocked the rabbit for not having any ability, but the tide had turned. He was almost going crazy with jealousy and wished that he could take the rabbit for himself. “I didn't bring my pet along, so I’m afraid I can’t show it to you. Losers like you don’t deserve to see my pet.” Luther acted full of snobbery and disdain, but he clutched his purse awkwardly. In fact, not only did he bring his pet out, but he had also been ready to show it off at any time. After all, his pet was very powerful and could grow bigger or sma
Philip was annoyed by the guy’s ridicule and simply wanted to keep a distance from him. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t want to pay attention to a loser.” After saying this, Philip could not wait to leave this disgusting place. He felt sick at the sight of the guy’s ugly face. Carlos lost the mood to watch the fun. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave. However, that guy was used to getting his way. He did not plan to let them leave in one piece. Anyone who offended him had to die. “Surround him. Don’t let him run away!” The man glared at Philip with disdain, sure that Philip would die. Philip was quickly surrounded by a large group of people. They were angry that Philip dared to go against their boss. “Who are you? Where did you come from? How dare you disobey our boss? Didn't he tell you to stop?” a guard yelled angrily. He was clearly a competent lackey, loudly accusing Philip as if he was going to stand up for his boss. “What are you looking at?
The street was very crowded with not only various pet monsters for sale but also a myriad of pills and techniques, which looked impressive. Philip was happy to see this. This place was clearly better than any other place he had visited before. It was very different from the other places he knew. “This is the place I’ve always wanted to visit.” Philip could not contain his excitement and wanted to bring all his friends and family over. “After finding your crush, I’ll bring all my people over and show them this place.” Rabbit was surprised to hear Philip’s high evaluation of this place. He simply felt that something was unusual about this place, but it was nothing too special. “Don’t miss this great bargain. Our pets are the best. You look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here? I can tell you some things and satisfy your curiosity. I’m sure my goods are nothing you've seen before.” Seeing that Philip and the others did not own a pet monster, the seller kept promoting his g
“You must be referring to the lark people. What do you want with them? They're not to be trifled with. You’ll be in trouble if you mess with them.” Everyone was delighted to hear about the lark people. It was great that someone knew something. Adam was very excited to find a clue as soon as they arrived. He had thought it would take a lot of effort to find something, but reality proved otherwise. “The lark people can be regarded as the overlords here. You can find out about them easily. I'm just an ordinary old woman, so I can't tell you too much. You should approach other people if you want to find out more. Maybe you can find a storyteller. I’m sure they can tell you some very important information.” The old lady was clearly unwilling to disclose anything, so everyone was disappointed. In that case, they could not force her. “Thank you very much. At least you gave us an inkling about what to do. We wouldn’t know so many things if it weren't for you.” Adam thanked the old
“I heard that her family is quite complicated. They seem quite troublesome.” Hearing that, everyone wondered what Adam meant. It seemed that he would face problems in pursuing a relationship with this woman. Carlos looked at Adam awkwardly and sighed. “It doesn't matter. We don’t have to worry about that. Let's just take things one step at a time.” Rabbit calmly drifted around with Philip, feeling quite good. “What's there to worry about? I say the old monk has nothing better to do than worry about trivial matters. It’d be embarrassing if so many of us couldn’t bring a woman back.” Until now, Rabbit felt that the other party was just an ordinary woman, so he did not think that there was anything to worry about. They quickly joined the line to enter the city. To Philip's surprise, there was no entrance fee at all. Moreover, their appearance and attire looked no different from the others. Philip and his friends calmly entered the place, and Philip stood on guard. He had a
Philip felt helpless at the sight of this vast starry sky and suddenly felt that maybe coming here was not the right choice. They arrived without knowing anything about this place, so they might encounter various dangers. “I’m curious about the woman you've been looking for. She must be quite extraordinary,” Philip said curiously, baffled about this matter. Hearing that, Adam shook his head helplessly. He was really clueless about everything. “I only know that I can come here and find her with the key. I don’t even know where she is. We can only search aimlessly in this starry sky.” Philip was dumbfounded by Adam’s incompetence. “I thought we’d be teleported to her home or a fixed location, so I don’t know what’s the deal with this. I have a feeling that I’ve been tricked.” Adam sighed helplessly. “Let's just wander around. I’m sure we can find something somehow,” Carlos comforted Adam, but he was not optimistic about it either. He knew that they probably could not find the
Adam had to reevaluate Philip’s strength. He used to think that Philip was simply the best of his generation. Although powerful, he was not invincible. However, the ability to change certain orders and rules was not something that just anyone had. It would not be far-fetched to call Philip the chosen one favored by the heavens. Philip told Carlos to bury Bryce before forgetting about him. Carlos quickly handled his affairs, packed his bags, and got ready to set off with Philip. Adam also waited for Philip without much luggage on hand. Philip stuffed Rabbit into the Verge Tower space. He had to bring Rabbit along with him or the latter would be up to no good. “Rabbit, stay in Verge Tower and stop bothering me.” Rabbit was upset to hear that he had to stay in Verge Tower but still felt happy that Philip was willing to take him along. “Next, the two of you need to relax. I’ll wrap you with my energy. Don't try to resist or you’ll only end up hurting yourself,” Philip said.
