However, Hannah was merely being protected. Philip had not found out anything about that organization until today. It was too deeply hidden! It was difficult to proceed! It was as if it had remained on the dark side of the world, undetectable by all! “Do you know any other information about that organization?” Philip pressed. Steven smiled and said with a shrug, “Mr. Clarke, information is not given based on empty words.” His meaning was obvious. “Tell me what you want.” Philip’s expression darkened. Steven laughed and said, “Haha, Mr. Clarke, you’re very straightforward. I really like this about Easterners. You cut straight to the chase. As for what I want, I haven't thought of it yet. I have to go back and discuss it with my father. After all, no one in this world should know the information about that organization except our Smith family.” Philip frowned, thought about it, and said, “Okay, I'll wait for your news.” Steven smiled and shook hands with Philip. Then,
Everyone looked for the sound and saw a group of people walking in from the door. A young man was surrounded in the middle. He was very handsome and tall with a devilish smile on the corner of his mouth. Wearing a golden suit, he looked like royalty. No, to be precise, he was royalty! Four big bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses stood beside the young man, looking very serious. It was evident they could not be messed with. As soon as they appeared, they attracted the attention of everyone in the inner hall. Many people even got up and greeted them with smiles and compliments. “Look! It's Geoffrey Louis, Louis XXVI! He’s royalty!” “Wow! Even Louis XXVI is here. This underground trading is too exciting!” “The youngest Duke of Country Y, Geoffrey Louis!” Hearing the discussions around, many people learned the identity of the handsome man wearing a golden suit who was entering the inner hall at this moment. Very noble! He was actually the heir of the legendary
Philip said uncannily, “I’m not interested in the disputes between the royal family and the nobles of Country Y. In my dealing with the Smith family, I just want to get what I want. I won’t get involved in anything else. Of course, if I accidentally offend the so-called Louis XXVI, it can’t be helped. As long as he doesn’t mess with me, I’ll still be an easygoing person to talk to.” Moses looked sideways at Philip earnestly and said, “This is the first time I've seen someone twist the facts around like that. If you’re an easy-going person, there wouldn't be so many families and businesses going bankrupt in this world.” While they were talking, Steven seemed to be hesitating. After thinking about it, he got up and asked his subordinates to arrange his seat next to Philip. “Mr. Clarke, I hope you don't mind if I sit here with you.” Steven smiled cordially. Philip glanced sideways and shook his head without saying anything. Moses said, “Steven, if you lower your status like this
Philip smiled helplessly and shrugged. Moses also shook his head with a faint smile. As for Vivi, she burst into laughter and could only stop after a long while. Then, she sneakily leaned close to Philip and whispered in his ear, “Philip, you’re such a bad person.” Philip jolted, glared at Vivi, and said, “I’m a married man. Don’t get so close to me. It might cause misunderstandings.” Vivi rolled her eyes at him, snorted, and muttered, “Such a boring old man. I’m going to ignore you! You can simp after your wife forever!” Philip shook his head inwardly before turning his attention to Louis XXVI. This guy was very haughty, indeed. On this side, when Steven was still in glee after repeating that he was a lapdog, Moses said, “Steven, if you want to pursue Alice, I suggest that you declare yourself as a lapdog in front of everyone and express your love for Alice bravely! Isn’t it true that Westerners like you advocate the freedom of love and are willing to sacrifice for lov
Swoosh! Instantly, the entire hall fell silent! This was too exciting! Steven actually expressed his love for Alice Elizabeth in public and in front of Louis XXVI! At this scene, many people even took out their mobile phones and recorded this explosive event! They then posted it on their respective online social platforms and groups. In no time, the internet was full of news about Steven! [Explosive news! Lapdog Steven boldly proposes to Princess Alice! Louis XXVI too angry for words!] At first glance, this headline was the handiwork of an Eastern editor! At the scene, many men and women covered their mouths and looked at Steven with wide eyes. Although they did not understand why Steven called himself a lapdog just now, it sounded like a compliment. At this moment, Alice also looked at Steven in disbelief, her big twinkling eyes full of excitement. Louis XXVI exploded with anger. He grabbed Steven's collar and snarled. “F*ck you, Steven. Do you know what you’re t
Hannah Clarke?! The moment the young woman entered, Philip saw Hannah’s shadow on her. However, the other party wore a veil over her face that masked her true appearance! At this moment, Philip’s sudden action also attracted everyone’s attention. “What’s the matter? What does this Easterner want to do? Is he going to express his love for this lady like Steven?” “It’s a little odd. I seem to have seen that Eastern man somewhere before.” “Look, Steven is sitting with them. And Steven was the one who brought them in just now. What’s their relationship with the Smith family?” A group of people whispered. Even Louis XXVI, who was sitting and explaining something to Alice Elizabeth, was attracted by Philip’s actions. His dark blue eyes flashed suspiciously and coldly as he stared at Philip. Then, he glanced at Steven at Philip’s side and gritted his teeth in resentment. The Queen's youngest princess, Alice, naturally also looked at Philip. However, her gaze did not linge
Vivi’s voice came from behind. “Philip, what’s wrong?” Philip reined in his emotions but could not calm down. He took a deep breath, and his gaze fell on the veiled woman for a brief moment. It was a very strange feeling! There was clearly Hannah’s shadow on this woman, but the other party’s eyes just now seemed as though she was seeing him for the first time. Her gaze was full of doubts and even a hint of panic. Even now when she saw Philip staring at her, the woman who looked like a young girl would turn her head away shyly. She would only peek at Philip from time to time with her big eyes. She looked like a young girl who had just entered society and felt curious about everything. Philip sat down again, feeling a little irate. Fennel asked, “So, is it her?” Philip could not be sure. He shook his head before nodding again. “I don't know. I can see the shadow of my sister in her, but her eyes tell me that she doesn’t know me. It shouldn't be like this. What went wrong
Hearing the woman's words, Philip’s face darkened as his eyes wandered between Susan and the woman for a moment. Then, he bowed slightly and said, “Excuse me.” After that, Philip turned around and returned to his seat. Fennel and the others also sat down. “Steven, didn't you say that your Smith family has information about that organization? Do you know those two?” Philip thought for a moment and asked. Steven smiled, shook his head, and said, “Mr. Clarke, it’s the Smith family that knows some information about that organization, not me. I don't know much about them. Most of the information is with my father. I don't know the two of them. However, as you can see, those eight guards are not simple characters. The armor they’re wearing costs at least three million per set! It should be the most advanced and powerful set of armor at present with very good defense.” Philip was not very interested in Steven’s explanation of insignificant things. His eyes lingered on Susan an
“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
“What's going on? What drug did he take? It’s so powerful!” Jeff exclaimed in horror. All his attacks were ineffective, so what about Hogster’s attacks? At this time, Hogster attacked Jeff. His invincible mode would only last a few minutes. He had to seize the opportunity to take Jeff down. However, Hogster was not worried at all. In his opinion, dealing with Jeff was just a matter of seconds. “Go to hell!” Hogster made his move. He launched a killing move without holding back at all. Jeff was no match for Hogster at all. He was sent flying and fell to the ground miserably. Everyone looked at him with pity. Jeff spat a mouthful of blood and looked at Hogster in horror. Hogster had become so strong that he was no match for him at all. “Hehe, is that all you can take?” Hogster sneered. He was about to kill Jeff when the latter took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it. It was the same pill he had taken earlier. Sure enough, Jeff was back to normal after taking
“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
