Wynn was a little uncomfortable and got up. She got away from Willy’s lecherous hands. She raised her glass and said with a smile, “Mr. Fadden, let me propose a toast to you. About the cooperation, I have to go back and discuss it.” Willy frowned and did not accept the glass in Wynn’s hand but said coldly, “What? Are you looking down on me? My company controls 70% of the market in the south of Penhart. Even foreign pharmaceutical companies, both import and export, have to go through me. “Madam Johnston, I hope you don’t turn down a helping hand. I'm trying to advise you with good intentions.” With that said, Willy snorted and returned to his seat with a cold expression on his face. Wynn looked at Willy and said with a smile, “Mr. Fadden, don’t be angry. I know the size and strength of your company, but this issue involves the profit distribution in the contract. I really need to go back and discuss it with the others.” “Hehe.” Willy frowned and said with a laugh, “Madam Joh
Hearing that, Wynn seemed to realize something. She turned to look at these ferocious foreign men, forced a smile, and said, “Did you get the wrong private room?” “No mistake. It’s you all right, my dear cousin.” At this time, a cold male voice came from the direction of the door. Liam Johnston, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walked in with a cold face and a sneer. He had his hands in his trouser pockets. “Liam?” Wynn frowned and said, “What do you want?” Liam smiled and ignored Wynn. He turned to Willy who was sitting in the main seat and said with a bow, “Mr. Fadden, why don't you move to my private room?” Willy was not a person who could not understand the situation. He frowned, put down the wine glass, got up, and left the private room. After Willy left, Liam turned to Wynn with a subtle smile. He sat in a chair and said, “Wynn, I’m here today just for one purpose. Martin Group wants to merge with Beacon Group and make Beacon Group our subsidiary. I’ve
Philip followed Yana and arrived at a specific area in the inner hall. It was a large and luxurious private room with few people. Philip looked around and saw four men with different expressions. They were all in their 50s. Yana led Philip into the room and he instantly attracted the attention of the four people. They looked at Philip with hostility before averting their eyes, no longer paying attention. Yana stepped forward with a smile, led Philip to the seat, and introduced, “Everyone, this is Mr. Clarke. He’s also here to participate in this auction for the clue to the Multidew Herb.” As soon as Yana finished speaking, a disdainful look crossed the face of a short and fat old man who had his arms folded over his chest. He looked away and said coldly, “Boss Young, those sitting here are not ordinary people. Don’t bring in any Tom, Dick, and Harry. This kid looks very unfamiliar.” Then, another middle-aged man with a crewcut and an angular face agreed with a flash of gl
Harold Stow stared at Philip coldly and sneered, “Well done, kid. You have guts. From the sound of it, you seem to know about the hidden families of door disciples.” “I just found out,” Philip replied mildly. “Hehe, since you just found out, where did you get the courage and confidence to say these words?” Harold’s face darkened as a murderous intent flickered in the corners of his eyes. “What? You’re just a bunch of old guys pulling your weight around. What's there to be afraid of?” Philip laughed. “Presumptuous!” Harold shouted angrily. With a slap, he shattered the chair he was sitting in into pieces! Such strength was indeed not comparable to ordinary people. Philip took a glance, and from the energy unleashed by Harold just now, he roughly judged his strength. A disciple of the second zone? A little weak. “Boy, kneel and apologize for your disrespect to us just now! Otherwise, I’ll break your limbs and pull out your tongue!” Harold shouted angrily. Philip sti
The location where the Multidew Herb grew? Hearing this, Philip tensed and clenched his fists tightly. He must get his hands on this jade pendant! Of course, the other four leaders also shared the same thought as Philip. Likewise, their eyes became fiery while their breathing shortened! The short and fat Master Lowe said, “Boss Young, do let us take a closer look at the jade pendant.” With a smile, Yana personally held the golden tray and walked to the front. Master Lowe tried to get his hands on it but Yana gently evaded him and said with a smile, “Master Lowe, this item is very precious. It has been passed down throughout history and can’t be touched easily. Please look at it with your eyes only.” Hearing that, Master Lowe frowned but did not say anything. He withdrew his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly. There was a faint glimmer in his eyes as he carefully stared at the flawless pure white jade pendant. This jade pendant was more similar to the jade slips held by
Harold Stow was unhappy with Philip right from the beginning and naturally sided strongly with Master Lowe at this moment. Yana said with a smile, “Gentlemen, everyone will be treated equally here. Of course, Mr. Clarke can look at it too.” Hmph! Harold turned his face and mocked, “Look? What does he know? A brat who doesn’t know anything can only satisfy his voyeuristic urge.” Philip paid no heed to Harold’s mockery and looked at the jade pendant seriously. At this moment, he used a little of his control over the rules of matter. Insight! In an instant, the barrier inside the jade pendant that could block all exploring senses collapsed under Philip’s control over the rule of insight. At this moment, a scene from a thousand years ago appeared in front of Philip’s eyes. It was a piece of history lost in ashes. There were fragmentary images of old men and young boys, as well as pill production and herb fields. Just when Philip was still exploring the historical image
Harold’s words totally diverted everyone’s attention to Philip. A level-three essence of life was not a joke! Yana’s request was too high. No one could fulfill it! However, after Harold drew the attention to him, Philip merely smiled and said, “I don’t quite understand what a level-three essence of life is.” Hahaha! Instantly, Harold and the others burst into laughter! “Kid, you're really something! I thought you had some ability just now, but now, it seems that you’re just an innocent young man who knows nothing! You haven't even heard of the level-three essence of life. What are you doing sitting here?” Harold laughed before his tone turned cold. The short and fat Master Lowe also sarcastically said, “Since you don't know it, you don't need to participate in the competition. Just sit and watch from the sidelines.” After that, Master Lowe said to Yana, “Boss Young, this is a matter of great importance. I need to discuss it with everyone in the family. I’ll give you a
Ridiculous! Even members of the hidden families of door disciples like them could not do it! The most powerful person here was Nathan Zen. After all, his father-in-law was an employed academician at the Genetic Products Research Institute of the Nonagon. The research and development project of this level-three essence of life was also made through the efforts of his father-in-law. Therefore, if Nathan said that he could get the level-three essence of life tomorrow, he could definitely do so. However, how could this ordinary kid say that he could get the essence of life tonight? Simply preposterous! Faced with the criticisms and threats from the three, Philip remained seated calmly. He turned his head and said with a faint smile, “Those who can pay the price will get the item. Isn’t that the rules of an auction? If Patriarch Zen has the ability, he can present the essence of life one step ahead of me. In that case, I’ll make my retreat.” Hiss! Philip’s words were very
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
“The truth is that I have a favor to ask of you, but I’m afraid of overstepping the line, so…” The old monk knew that his action was inappropriate, so he was conflicted and wondered how he should ask for Philip’s help. Philip was interested upon hearing that the old monk needed a favor. He wanted to know what stumped him. With his strength and status, the old monk should be omnipotent. “Feel free to speak your mind. If I can handle it, I don’t mind lending a helping hand.” Philip would not help for no reason. If the other party was willing to pay the price, he would not refuse. The old monk was excited to hear Philip’s agreement. “I have the location of a secret realm. I tried to enter it once, but the secret realm told me that I couldn’t enter it,” the old monk said with regret. “There should be a lot of good things in this secret realm, so I’m very disappointed that I can't enter and explore it. I was told that only people from other worlds could enter this secret realm.
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
