Everyone at the birthday party was looking at Wynn with contempt and disdain in their eyes.Eric and Aaron’s gifts that were presented moments before were extremely valuable.Then, Ted announced the shocking news of attaining the Oasis development project at the south of Riverdale.He would be making 500 million for the Yates!Now, it was Wynn’s turn. What gift would her family be presenting today?Martha sat on her seat, extremely nervous. She saw what Wynn was holding. It was the box that Philip had previously given to her.If Wynn gave that thing to her father, it would be the biggest joke of the century.Everyone would look at them as if they were fools!Eric stared at Wynn with mockery on his face. He looked at the small box in her hands and the smirk on his face got wider. He lifted his eyebrow and said, “Cousin, it’s Grandpa’s 70th birthday today. Are you really going to give this tiny box to him? What valuable item can it hold?”Eric snorted in his head. He saw with hi
‘Wait for my signal. I don’t like the Yates.’ Philip replied to the message in secret and put away his phone.George was over at the chairman’s office in Apex Group. After he got the message, he lifted his eyebrow and asked his secretary to announce this.As long as Philip opened his mouth, he would make sure to bankrupt the Yates.These blind fools must have crossed the young master.“Philip, what are you doing?” Wynn noticed Philip had been playing with his phone the entire time, which is why she asked curiously.“Oh, it’s nothing. Professor Turner told me he’ll arrange Mila’s surgery for next Wednesday,” Philip replied.“Really?” Wynn was excited. She grabbed onto Philip’s hand emotionally.Mila was her everything. Which mother would want to see their own child suffer?“Yeah.” Philip patted the back of Wynn’s hand lovingly.“Hey, did you hear that the Oasis development project in the south of Riverdale was developed by the richest man in Riverdale, George Thomas? Ted’s maki
An investment of one billion bucks!All of the Yates’ assets were just worth 700 to 800 million bucks!Adding in Bob’s own company with Samson and Ted’s company, they only had a little over a billion!This investment of one billion bucks came out of nowhere!How would he not be excited?Bob stood up excitedly and widened his eyes. He asked while gasping for air, “What… What did you say? Say it again!”“Old Master, we got an investment of one billion dollars!” the middle-aged man finally wiped his sweat and said with the same excitement.In an instant, Bob’s face turned red. He lifted his head and guffawed at the sky. “Wonderful! The Yates family is finally going to enter high society! An investment of one billion dollars! Go and find out who was the one who invested in us. We have to invite them here and take good care of them!”This person must be an extremely rich billionaire.He had to treat him with respect.Bob was ready to invite them here himself.The middle-aged man
Bob glared coldly at Philip who was sitting on his seat. He snorted and said, “Who does he think he is? What a sore sight!”With a scoff, Bob walked away with his black wood cane tapping on the ground. He was about to leave with his group of people.Philip had been enduring this kind of treatment for a long time. He sat on his seat indifferently and took a sip of his wine. He said calmly, “You can’t be sure that I’m not Mr.Clarke.”At first, everyone was shocked. Then, they started laughing loudly.Was Philip an idiot?How dare he say something like this?“Damn! Philip, why don’t you take a look at yourself in the mirror? Aside from your last name, what part of you looks like a rich person?”Eric laughed in frustration.How could such a shameless person exist? He was hilarious!Philip did not say anything. He knew they would not believe him even if he told them.Bob and his group of people snorted and went out of the door.In a blink of an eye, only a few people were left in
Eric guffawed. His face was filled with contempt. He pointed at Philip and said, “F*ck me! What did you say, Philip? You’re taking Wynn there? How are you going to take her there? You’re just a piece of trash!“Do you know what kind of place Cirrus Manor is? It’s the most mysterious manor in Riverdale! It cost the owners one billion to build!“Are you saying that you’re qualified to be invited to the party?”Eric could not contain himself. He said all kinds of horrible and sarcastic remarks.He attracted the attention of a few people in just a short while. They started laughing at Philip too.Philip was simply humiliating himself!He was still trying to boast when things had already come to this.Wynn’s face was also burning. She kicked Philip under the table to tell him to stop talking.She was plenty embarrassed already but Philip would not stop talking!Would he only stop after he had beef with everyone?When she thought about this, Wynn was starting to get angry.However
Bang!The door of the restroom kicked open and Jess barged in.When she saw the sight before her, she turned around to leave. Before she left, however, she turned around and said, “You’ve been married for so long. Find someplace better if you want to be intimate with each other.”After Jess left, Philip said in annoyance, “There must be something wrong with this woman’s head. She can’t bear to see a husband and a wife being happy.”Wynn rolled her eyes at him and approached him. She straightened her back and buttoned Philip’s shirt for him.Philip wanted to continue but Wynn smacked his hand away. “Stop being unsatisfied with small gains. Let’s go.”Philip shrugged helplessly. He murmured, “We’ve been husband and wife for so long. What are you scared of?”Wynn turned around and displayed a pleasing smile. She looked seductive under the sun.When they got back to the party, it was nearing the end. Philip had just sat down for one minute when he got George’s message.‘Young Ma
Bob was beyond excited at this moment.Russell was here and was even gifting him ‘Shrimp’ by Qi Baishi. This was such a precious gift!Not everyone was able to give out such luxurious gifts.Everyone followed behind Bob and came to the outer courtyard. Then, they got to the entrance.Eric was the last one to arrive. When he saw that Philip did not move, he said in despise, “What’s wrong? An important man like Russell Field is here and you don’t want to go and welcome him?”Did this guy have nails on his bottom?How could he still sit there?After Eric’s reminder, Philip thought about it and came to the conclusion that Eric’s words made sense. He got up and followed Wynn as well as the rest of the crowd. However, he stood a few meters away from the crowd. He did not want to go to the front. Philip did not want to get involved in something like this.Everyone stood at the door respectfully. A black Maybach stopped at the entrance.In an instant, the car door was opened and Russe
Russel smiled and said, “Oh, Phil and I bonded through collecting. He’s one of my most intimate friends. We’re kindred spirits.”Intimate friends?Kindred spirits?Bob was shocked. Everyone was also taken aback.What was going on?Philip was just a spineless bum. How did he know an entrepreneur with a net worth of a few billion bucks like Russell?Was Philip a collector as well?Impossible. He was so poor. Did he have the money to collect?Eric and Aaron were surprised. Philip even knew someone like this?! They had underestimated him.“I didn’t expect that Russell came here for Philip.”Everyone’s jaws dropped.Was this a joke?“Russell is a famous collector in the country and is worth more than three billion. Why is such an important man so respectful toward Philip? Something’s not right.” Jess was meticulous. She stood among the crowd and sensed that something was amiss.However, when she looked at Philip closely, she could not imagine him being a billionaire or a nouv
“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
