Martha decided to pretend to be sick. She grunted and pointed at her chest.How would Bob not be able to tell his daughter’s little tricks? He glared at her coldly and yelled, “Martha, since Philip gave this to me, then it belongs to the Yates. If you don’t feel well, you should just ask Paula to send you back.”When she heard that, Martha did not dare to pretend anymore. She straightened her back, her face filled with hatred.Even though Paula was jealous, she still felt a little pleased when she saw that Martha could not get any goodies from this.Bob took the thumb ring from Russell with trembling hands. He valued it very much.100 million!How did Philip afford to give him something so expensive?Eric, Aaron, and Jess were all beyond shocked. They were in disbelief.Was Philip not a completely useless piece of trash?How did he afford the thumb ring?Eric clenched his fists. Where did that guy get such a treasure?F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!He was fuming.Eric went to one side
“Clarke, sit tight. I’ll handle this.” Theo said and dialed a number. He said coldly into the phone, “Ned, I’m at the entrance of Yates Village. Bring your men over.”After he said that, he removed his hat and took off his suit jacket. He opened the door and walked out with his men.Philip smiled and got out as well.Wynn wanted to follow, but Philip kept her inside the car.Wynn should not have to watch what was going to happen next.“Which one of you mother*ckers is Philip Clarke? Get out here!”The leader was named Monkey. He was the local bully of this area at Yates Village. He would tyrannize this area to no end. He was also pushy and overbearing while thinking he was a big shot.He held a steel bat in his hand, and his face was filled with malice. He smashed his bat down on the hood of the Mercedes-Benz and yelled, “What’s wrong? Did you not hear me? Are y’all f*cking deaf? Get Philip Clarke out here and kowtow to me! And that woman named Wynn Johnston too! Come out here
Monkey’s face went pale. His face was ashy, and he was extremely frantic.When he was at a complete loss and was thinking about how to turn the situation around, the underground king of Riverdale walked humbly to another young man and bowed. He asked, “Mr. Clarke, what do you think we should do to them?”Mr. Clarke?Damn it!Was that young man Philip Clarke? The man that Eric wanted him to cripple?When he saw this, Monkey was in a complete state of shock. It was as if his heart had stopped beating.‘Eric Yates, you’re killing me!’In Monkey’s eyes, Theo was someone he had to maintain a respectful distance from. He was involved with both the dark and light sides. He had huge power over a lot of things.If he stomped his foot, the entire Riverdale would shake!Now, this person was being so respectful toward that young man. He was also acting extremely cautious around him.He could guess the identity of that young man just from the way Theo was treating him.He wanted so badly
Philip frowned. This little girl was so rude.She was criticizing someone the moment she met them.‘If I were your father, I would have slapped you!’“Oh, Philip. This is my best friend, Sadie Cash,” Yolanda smiled and said. There was disdain on her face.Philip was such a pervert. What was he looking at? He was staring at her the entire time.Sadie pressed her lips together and scolded fiercely, “What are you looking at? Have you never seen a pretty girl before?”Philip shook his head helplessly and chuckled. He ignored the two of them.Yolanda was not satisfied.She finally ran into the man who had feelings for her when they were back in university. She had to show off!A brilliant woman like Wynn actually married a spineless bum like Philip.She even heard that Philip had been having it tough these past few years. He even owed people a lot of money and was about to have a divorce.Yolanda was feeling pleased. She wanted so badly to show off in front of Philip so that she
Yolanda watched as Philip hesitated. She said quickly, “Since we’re all here, let’s go together. We haven’t seen each other in so many years.”Actually, Yolanda wanted to get close to Philip through this gathering.She felt remorseful for not having any interest in Philip back then. She did not expect a man like him to have such potential.Philip touched his nose and nodded his head. “Alright.”Philip did not have anything to do in the afternoon anyway. Also, his candlelit dinner reservation with Wynn was for tomorrow. As such, he did not have to worry.Philip told Agnes something before the latter went back to the office.After staying a while longer at the cafe, Yolanda and Sadie brought Philip to the karaoke in the mall nearby.“Oliver and the gang will be singing here before going to Arc de Triumph,” said Yolanda. She even grabbed Philip’s arm voluntarily and said in a mysterious tone, “Philip, do you know what Joshua opened a company of his own as well? His turnover is alre
There were all kinds of cold stares and jeers.This was the so-called gathering. Eventually, it would become a place for flattery and sneers.This was also why Philip did not want to come. What kind of gathering was this? It was all fake. The ex-classmates here were all swinging with each other. In addition to that, the men always tried to curry favors and be posers.“Philip, why didn’t you tell me that you were coming? I could’ve gone to pick you up. What’s wrong? You didn’t come the first two times I asked you but you’re here now when Yolanda’s the one inviting you. Are you trying to disrespect me?”Joshua was the one who said that. He stood up and walked over. He placed his arm around Philip’s shoulder and pretended to be cordial.Philip looked at him coldly. Had he become so hypocritical now?When did he invite him?Was it not Oliver the one who invited him the previous two times?After walking to the middle of the room, Joshua gave Philip a glass of wine. He said, “Come,
“Yeah, Philip. This is such a rare chance. I want to go too. Josh, what about me?” One of Philip’s classmates said in envy.“Me too. I heard the current account of Josh’s company has a few million every month. He has so many employees too!”Yolanda was envious. Her face was filled with adoration. She sat close to Joshua and kept acting coquettishly. There were more than ten people in the room. Initially, everyone was just doing their own things. However, when they heard Carl’s conversation, everyone became eager and was looking at Joshua with impatient gazes.It became obvious now that they had just come to the gathering for their own selfish needs. It could not be helped. This was the reality of it.They were all normal people. They just wanted an easy way out.This was understandable. It was not despicable.“Mr. McAdams, do you still need people?”“Josh, what about me? I was a secretary before. I can do anything.”“...”Sadie, who was sitting at one side, immediately got
“What? What is it? Do you want to say that you’re loaded?” Sadie talked back in frustration.This guy was disrespecting Joshua.There was a small smile on Joshua’s face. However, the dissatisfaction in his heart was getting more and more intense.‘I gave you a chance and you’re not appreciating it. Not only that, but you still want to decline?‘How dare you reject me with your current status?’He was still a piece of trash at the end of the day!“Philip, I should advise you to think about this clearly. Go back and discuss it with Wynn. If you need any help, just come find me at my office. I’ll definitely lend you a hand.” Joshua clapped his hands together and took out a name card from his pocket. He threw it over to Philip rudely like he was giving alms.“Alright, I think that’s enough fun. Let’s go eat at Arc de Triumph.” Joshua smiled and ignored Philip’s unappreciative expression.Everyone stood up, giving dirty looks at Philip.This idiot was such a fool.He did not even
“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
