At the entrance of the Dunley Group building, the people who followed Winston out were all dumbfounded as they stared at the scene in front of them! A casket! A very good casket! Was it for Winston Dunley? Who had the audacity to do that? How dare they send a casket to Winston, the fifth uncle of the Dunley family’s patriarch? Hiss! At the scene, everyone looked shocked and no one dared to make a sound. That was because at this moment, Winston’s expression was so cold and his hands were tightly clenched into fists. With his eyes wide open, he stared at the casket placed in front of him. After a while, he suddenly laughed and said, “Very well, this is interesting. A junior actually dares to send such a generous gift to an old man like me. Very interesting, indeed! It has been many years since someone dares to mess with me like this!” After saying that, Winston sneered menacingly. He turned around, waved his hand, and said to the attendants behind him, “Immediately la
Philip turned around, looked at the woman, and said with a smile, “Old George has told me about you. You’ve been very capable.” Maia Harp was the Clarke family’s person in charge of Hampton and also the chief president in Charbury, as arranged by the Clarke family. She was only 28 years old this year but she was already a successful career woman. She was in charge of all the Clarke family’s businesses and staffing arrangements in Charbury. She may be a woman but she was more capable than a man! Otherwise, the Clarke family would not have appointed her as the chief president of the Charbury region. “Thank you for the compliment, Young Master.” Maia smiled, her eyebrows arching like half-crescents. She added, “Butler Thomas has already briefed me about the purpose of your visit to Hampton this time. I’ll definitely carry out your arrangements. Please rest assured in giving me your orders.” Philip nodded and asked, “How much do you know about the Dunley family in Charbury?”
Spencer Dunley. Philip frowned and fell silent. He turned around and looked at the Dunley Group building that seemed to shoot up into the sky. It seemed that he could almost see a figure standing behind a window somewhere on the highest floor, looking back at him too. “If I make a move against the Dunley family, what are my chances of winning?” Philip asked. Maia frowned and thought for a moment before saying, “Based on the assets and personnel you can currently use, only 40%. After all, this is the Dunley family of Charbury, not the Clarke family of Arcadia Island. The strength and power of the Clarke family are weakened by half here. Besides, the Clarke family has a cooperative relationship with the Dunley family. I’m afraid the elders in the family won’t agree if you want to take action against the Dunley family.” “Only 40%?” Philip’s eyes were cold, and there was slight displeasure in his tone. “What if I bypass the Clarke family and strike out against the Dunley family
At that very moment, Philip’s phone rang. It was a call from George. His respectful voice sounded from the other end of the phone. “Young Master, Winston has made a move against the Clarke family in Riversouth and already monopolized half of their partners. Should we continue with the next plan?” “Go ahead,” Philip said coldly. George quickly responded and said, “Young Master, do listen to my advice. For the time being, don’t target the Dunley family. Wait for the people I’ve arranged to arrive in Hampton before you—” However, before George could finish his words, Philip interrupted him and said, “I don’t have much time. Hurry up.” “Yes.” George was helpless. He ended the call and said to the subordinates around him, “Let’s begin.” Not long after Philip ended the call, he received a call from Winston. As soon as the call was connected, Winston's hearty laughter sounded from the other end. He said, “Young man, I’ve received your generous gift. I like it very much. For this,
“What? A loss of ten billion dollars?!” Winston yelled as he felt the world spinning around him. He slumped back on the sofa. The several assistants were trembling all over! The female assistant in the office hurriedly took out quick-acting heart-reliever pills for Winston. After catching his breath with much difficulty, Winston’s face grew tense. While exuding a biting chill, he roared, “Cut them off! Cut off all the merged partners! We can’t let the loss grow bigger!” After saying this, Winston held his forehead, his face looking exceedingly pale. At the same time, he also remembered the phone that was on the coffee table. He quickly picked it up and said angrily into the phone, “Philip, did you plan all of this?” On the other end of the phone, Philip’s faint mocking laugh could be heard. He said, “Winston, as I just said, be careful of getting indigestion. This loss of ten billion dollars should be enough of a lesson to you, right?” After hearing these words, Winston
“Mr. Dunley, things are not looking good. The information we found out about Philip seems to be wrong. This Clarke family of Riversouth is not as simple as we thought. No matter what we do to them, they can retaliate accurately and also block our trade and business.” An assistant panicked at this moment and quickly reported to Winston. Winston became solemn when he heard that. He rushed into the work area and glanced at their computer screens and the analysis report. Ten billion dollars had been used to tackle the Clarke family. However, not only were they unable to recover the ten billion dollars but the money was firmly trapped in the market by the other party! “What the hell is going on? Aren't you guys known as the best market regulators? Why is this happening?” Winston was angry and asked the question with a roar. One of the managers quickly stepped forward and explained, “Mr. Dunley, the situation has changed. We have to re-investigate everything about the Clarke fami
Hearing Philip’s name, Winston nearly blew his top. He turned around and shouted, “How dare he come here? He’s a brat who doesn’t know his limits! I want to see how amazing he is to dare challenge the Dunley family!” After saying that, Winston quickly led a dozen people to the conference hall on the first floor of the building! At this moment, Philip was sitting leisurely on the sofa, sipping the coffee brewed by the receptionist. Maia Harp, the woman with a glamorous figure, stood respectfully beside him. This woman was the focus wherever she went. Her straight and slender legs, coupled with her curvy waist and hips, made many male employees drool. Winston brought a large group of people with him and soon came to the front. His gaze was instantly locked on Philip who was sitting on the sofa while sipping coffee. Then, his eyes shifted to Maia who was next to him. Maia Harp? Why was this woman here too? Winston knew Maia. She was a strong career woman in Hampton, Cha
The Dunley family was the most elite family in Charbury! They were even ranked at the top in the country! Even the strength of some hidden affluent families might not be able to compare to the Dunley family! To be exact, the Dunley family was ranked among the eight major families in the country! Moreover, the strength of the Dunley family was already on a par with the Wallis family of Golden City. A year ago, the Wallis family of Golden City was recognized as the number one family in the country. Of course, these so-called rankings did not include the Clarke family of Arcadia Island. After all, the Clarke family of Arcadia Island was an existence not generally known by ordinary people. Naturally, the power of the Clarke family was also not known to others. The public knew about the Wallis and Denver families of Golden City, the Dunley family of Charbury, the Harrison family of Glenford, the Joo, Williams, and Jackman families of the capital city, and the Larson family o
“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
The Hexa Guild also claimed that they would kill anyone from the Celestial Palace. Although upset, no one dared to say anything in the face of the other party’s strength. It would be embarrassing if they could not live up to their claims if they retorted now. Moreover, the battle was a matter of life and death. Everyone was risking their lives. The Celestial Palace had the confidence to face the Hexa Guild now. They believed that they could turn the situation around with their strength or at least show them what they could do. There would be a battle between the two parties in the afternoon, which was the best time to show off their strength. The young lady of the Celestial Palace would be the one contending. After improving her strength, Vanna was full of confidence and vowed to give her opponent a fatal blow or at least let them know how powerful she was. Ronan was nervous. He was not worried about his wife but worried that the Hexa Guild would take things too far. Those
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
