“Are you relieved now?” Philip hugged Wynn’s shoulders and asked.Wynn nodded and wiped her tears.She had waited for this day for such a long time.At the same time, in the Old Johnston Manor, Martha was hysterically kicking up a big fuss.The Yates were bankrupt, and Martha had lost the support of her maiden family. What would happen to her status in this family in the future?How would she face her neighbors whenever she went out in the future?Especially when this matter was splattered all over the news.Early this morning, she received a few text messages from her friends. Their words were all full of gloating and sarcasm.“These mean b*tches, they must have been waiting for this day! Sending phony messages to comfort me… They’re just shedding crocodile tears!”Martha almost went crazy with rage. She tried to phone Bob, Peter, and Samson, but the calls went unanswered.After thinking about it, she sat on the sofa and called Paula.“Paula, what should we do? Our family h
Before he could finish his sentence, Wynn’s phone rang and interrupted their conversation.She rolled her eyes at Philip and said, “Regardless of what my Mom says, just don’t give her more money. She’s just kicking up a fuss now. It’ll die down soon.”With that said, Wynn stepped aside to answer the call.Philip stared at Wynn’s back in silence and mumbled, “Forget it. Once Mila gets well, all of us will move into our new home.”On this day, the news about Yates' bankruptcy intensified. Many forces and families were speculating about the power and influence behind all of this.The methods were too formidable!They only found out the terrifying circumstances after detailed investigation!Overnight!In just one night, the Yates went bankrupt and fell from grace.The reason turned out to be because the Yates had offended someone.Who was that person?It was a secret that many upper-class families and forces in Riverdale wanted to unearth.In other words, one small move from Ph
Philip was powerless as he got chased out of the house just like that.Standing at the entrance, he could still hear Martha’s tirade in the house.After brief consideration, Philip called George. “Old Man George, can you help me keep a lookout for any houses on sale recently? Wynn’s mother is thinking of buying a villa. If she asks about it, you can handle it on your own.”“Sure, Young Master. I know what to do,” on the other end of the line, George responded respectfully.After hanging up the phone, George immediately notified his secretary to contact all the real estate agents in Riverdale.As long as Martha had inquired about a villa to any real estate agent, the price would be reduced by half.In that case, even Martha would be able to afford it.After the arrangement, George responded to Philip who immediately gave his assent.He would treat that as a gift to the Johnston family. After all, Philip had not given anything to Martha in the past three years.After Philip left
Philip helped Wynn put on her helmet before he bopped her on the nose and said, “Nothing much. It’s just a company vehicle, that’s all.”With that said, he quickly started the vehicle and turned the handlebars. The BMW motorcycle roared to life pleasantly!It was the dream of every man.“Hold on tight.” Philip chuckled.The vehicle zoomed out quickly like a drift.Wynn sat behind Philip, her arms tight around his waist. She got a fright just now!When cornering, Philip actually imitated the moves of the bike racers on TV, leaning low into the corner!It was too cool!That scene attracted many passersby to cheer and take pictures of them.Was he still the trashy husband of hers?He even knew how to do stunts like this!Wynn stared at Philip’s back, her heart full of questions.How much did she not know about her own husband?Very soon, they arrived at the sales office of Hillside Villa on the bike.Wynn got down first and quickly dashed into the office.Philip had to park
“My mother-in-law and father-in-law are here to look at houses. Why are you chasing them away?”Philip appeared at the door. With his face stoic, he walked in one step at a time.His gaze immediately locked on Wynn’s left cheek that had an obvious red print. His wife got hit during the time he parked the bike?Philip walked up to Wynn and touched her left cheek. With fury in his eyes, he demanded to know. “Who did this?”With tears in her eyes, Wynn glanced at the flashy woman but shook her head and said, “It’s nothing. Let’s go.”Wynn was angry, but she did not want to cause any trouble. After all, the other party had connections in the family. As a commoner, she could not afford to provoke them.However, the unexpected happened.Philip said grimly, “That won’t do. In this world, no one can hit my wife, no matter who they are. Even if it’s the king of heaven, he must kneel and beg for your forgiveness.”He was brimming with dominance!The entire sales office fell silent.Eve
Wynn was standing right next to Philip, watching everything unfold without a word.This man was so familiar to her, but also so unfamiliar.Martha and Charles had long since been stunned into silence. They exchanged a look and found oceans of fury in each other’s eyes. “Do you have any idea what you’ve done, Philip? Why the hell did you do that? Her brother is the Chief Staff Sergeant! We’re screwed, you’ve condemned us all to death!”Martha immediately shoved Philip and yelled at him, then she just sat her butt on the floor and began bawling unreasonably.Philip really hated the way Martha made a huge scene out of everything. She was always so ignorant and ungrateful.“It’s fine, Mom. I can handle this,” Philip said calmly.“As if you can handle anything! You’re just a good-for-nothing! Oh, you’ll be the death of us all!” Martha scolded him angrily. She wanted nothing more than to rip him to shreds right now.That cursed Philip Clarke was truly a blight on her life.If the w
“Haha! Not bad, punk. You’re pretty bold for someone who just committed an assault. In fact, you’re the ballsiest one I’ve seen so far.”Manson sniggered and grabbed the cuffs from the table, dangling them in front of Philip. “Do you want to cuff yourself, or do you want me to do it?”The flashy woman next to him interrupted, “I wanna do it!”However, Philip merely said calmly, “You just want money, right? State your price.”Everyone went silent at that.The flashy woman exchanged a look with Manson and discretely held up two fingers.Manson understood in an instant. With a smile, he said, “Since you offered, let’s do two million, and we’ll consider this water under the bridge. After all, I can’t just let you get away with hitting my sister for nothing.”Philip nodded and actually agreed. “Alright. Two million it is.”That was enough to spread smiles across the three people sitting opposite him.They did not expect this broke-*ss punk to actually have some money behind him. He
Wynn stared directly at Philip, her eyes filled with suspicion.Just who was her husband, really? Why was a man as powerful as Theo Zander treating him with such respect and gravitas?It was not just Wynn, either. Martha and Charles were also looking at him with eyes widened in surprise.They had met Theo Zander before at the Old Master’s birthday.The Old Master had treated Theo with significant reverence.Yet now, Theo was treating that useless Philip even more respectfully.What kind of a sick joke was this?Martha’s eyes narrowed in suspicion and she looked Philip up and down. She just could not find anything special or impressive about Philip at all.With that, she was even more certain now that Theo was a nobody too.If he had to treat a piece of trash with such respect, he must not be all that either. Had her old father gone blind? Why was he so polite to a mere thug like that?On the other hand, Manson also blinked slightly when he saw that Philip had really called
“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
