Bang! As soon as Leon finished speaking, Cyril clenched his fists, smashed the armrest of his chair, pointed at Leon, and shouted, “Old Man Leon, stop accusing me! I never did any of those things you mentioned! This is slander!” After that, he added, “Now I understand. Since Mr. Clarke is here, you want to undermine the cooperation between us. I’m guessing that you’re trying to frame me, right?” Leon chuckled and said, “Cyril, you’re really shameless. Are you going to deny everything now?” Cyril waved his hand, turned his head, and said, “Of course! Everything you said is bullsh*t!” Leon snorted and did not argue with Cyril. He turned to Philip and said, “Mr. Clarke, I think you should think twice about Cyril’s proposal.” Cyril quickly said, “Mr. Clarke, don’t listen to his crap. The Hopper family is innocent and upright. This time, we want to cooperate with you in good faith. The Hopper family and Terrain Villa can submit under your command. Moreover…” Cyril wanted to co
Invite all disciple families in Beechwood City? Hearing this, Cyril’s face grew dark. What was Mr. Clarke trying to do? Was this a trap to get them in one fell swoop? “Mr. Clarke, your purpose is…” Cyril squeezed a smile and asked. Philip looked at Cyril and said, “Villa Master Hopper, I don’t think I need to tell you that.” “This…” Cyril was speechless and wondered if he had offended Philip in any way. Otherwise, why would Philip make things difficult for him? Was it because of Leon Jefferson? Thinking of this, Cyril looked at Leon, his eyes stern and sullen. “Mr. Clarke, if I’ve offended you before, please forgive me. I’m here today with great sincerity to invite you to become an honorary master of Terrain Villa and to discuss with us how to govern the Northern supernatural disciple world. Villa Master Turner has set up a banquet in Terrain Villa. We hope you can go over.” Cyril quickly said flatteringly. However, Philip shook his head, put down the teacup, an
Cyril’s face was still dark after he left the hotel and got into his car. He punched the car seat in anger and bellowed coldly at the driver, “Return to the villa!” After saying this, he frowned again. Then, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. When the call was connected, Cyril squeezed out a smile and said, “Lord Supreme, things have exceeded our expectations. The other party seems unwilling to cooperate with us.” On the other end of the phone, inside a hidden manor, an old man was practicing martial arts. He was none other than the former supreme who was asked to retire, Sade Jagger. At this moment, he said mildly, “Cyril, for certain things, you can just decide without reporting to me. If the other party isn’t willing to cooperate with us, just find one who’s willing. This world is not lacking in talents.” Hearing that, Cyril quickly said, “Lord Supreme, the other party’s background is a little tricky. He destroyed the Singer family with his strength alon
Villa Master Turner snorted and said, “That arrogant brat! He’s hitting the Terrain Villa in the face! I’m the master of Terrain Villa, and I represent the entire Northern supernatural disciple world. If I lower myself to attend his banquet, wouldn't it be a joke?” Of course, Cyril understood Villa Master Turner’s concerns, but the facts were right in front of him. If they did not attend, they would offend Mr. Clarke, and the consequences would be equally unimaginable. This banquet was actually a test! Whoever refused to bow down would be remembered by the other party! “Villa Master Turner, take it easy. The current situation is no longer under our control. The other party must have the confidence to issue such an invitation. If we refuse to attend at this time, the other party will definitely take notice of us. Later, we might even suffer some repercussions that we don’t want to see happen. So, we still have to go,” Cyril said. Villa Master Turner’s face was sullen as he cle
Very soon, Cyril and Villa Master Turner arrived in the side hall of Terrain Villa. This side hall was big enough to accommodate a thousand people. At this moment, the heads of various disciple families in Beechwood City had gathered here and were discussing something enthusiastically. “Say, what should we do? I think the banquet invitation tonight from Mr. Clarke is a trap!” “But of course! He’s trying to take advantage of the aftermath of destroying the Singer family to intimidate us!” “Hmph! This young brat thinks he can control the entire Northern supernatural disciple community just by destroying the Singer family?” Hearing everyone's words of dissatisfaction, Villa Master Turner smiled. This was what the Northern families should look like. “Everyone, excuse me for asking all of you to gather here on such short notice.” Villa Master Turner walked into the side hall at this moment and said his apologies. Seeing Villa Master Turner walk in at this moment, more th
Tonight, Beechwood City was about to attract attention and become a topic of discussion for everyone! At eight o'clock in the evening, the largest and most luxurious hall of the Tannes Hotel was filled to its capacity! It was full of prominent figures in Beechwood City and other areas! If the financial resources and the strength behind them were combined, it would be enough to shake the entire Beechwood City and subvert the northern economy as well as those prominent families! Tonight, Tannes Hotel was brightly lit and brilliant! Many reporters and media gathered outside the hotel. They received news that a super grand banquet with the top families in attendance would be held here tonight. They did not believe it at first, but when they arrived and saw the endless stream of bigwigs entering the hotel, everyone shuddered! The dignitaries of the North had all arrived, and they were giants! In a flash, the entire Tannes Hotel was packed. However, the security guards c
Ernest frowned but did not betray any other emotions. He turned to Cyril and asked in a low voice, “What’s going on?” Cyril shook his head and said, “Don’t worry, Villa Master Turner. With such a big banquet and so many reporters outside, I don’t think Mr. Clarke would dare to do anything. It’s probably a closed-door banquet.” Hearing that, Ernest nodded and made no further comment. However, it was different for the other heads of families. Everyone started discussing. “What’s going on? Why did they close the door? Is this a trap?” “This is outrageous! How dare they do this in the North? Do they have any respect for the families at all?” “Hmph! I want to see what Mr. Clarke is going to do tonight!” The discussions grew louder, but Ernest and Cyril chose to watch in silence. The clamor was good. At least, it would intimidate Mr. Clarke and let him know that the North was not that easy to take over! After waiting for ten minutes, Philip and the others still did not ma
The head of the family who took the lead saw Philip's icy eyes at this moment and trembled. He suppressed the panic in his heart and said, “Y-Yes. Why should we believe that you’re Mr. Clarke just because you said so? None of us have seen Mr. Clarke before. What if you’re an impostor? Besides, would Mr. Clarke be a young kid like you? Let the real Mr. Clarke come out. The heads of the families in Beechwood City are not that easy to fool.” After the man finished speaking, the other heads of families also echoed. “That’s right! Tell Mr. Clarke to come out. Since we were invited here, why bother to hide?” “Does Mr. Clarke look down on us and want to intimidate us? In that case, why should he find such a young kid to take his place?” “Hmph, if Mr. Clarke refuses to see us, why bother with this banquet? Let’s go!” After saying that, a few people took the lead and turned around to leave. However, when they reached the door, several fully armed guards there showed no signs of open
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
Philip was not afraid at all. He knew that someone would target him, but they were just losers. They might be influential, but they were nothing in his eyes. He did not want to cause trouble, but it did not mean he would let anyone insult him. Philip and the others quickly found a tavern that looked quite high-end. “This place looks interesting.” Philip found the various decorations quite novel and knew it would not be cheap. “I don’t think it’s so easy to find any important information here. Just look at the customers and you’ll know that we’ll spend a bomb,” Carlos marveled at the price tag. Adam looked at the menu curiously and was quickly surprised to see how expensive it was for a pot of tea. “A pot of tea costs thousands of crystals?” Adam almost had a meltdown at the price. “Look at the requirements stated on the menu. Each person has to order a minimum of a pot of tea. Anything less than that and we’re not welcomed.” Adam shook his head helplessly and suddenly
“It’ll take a long time for this little fox to become a human. I think you would've found your other half before that happened.” After exchanging some pleasantries, Philip bade farewell to the shopkeeper and left without further ado. They had to hurry up to find the person Adam was looking for.… Meanwhile, Luther hurried back home unhappily. He never dreamed that he would suffer such humiliation one day. As soon as he returned home, a man greeted him. It was none other than his father, who doted on his son. “What's wrong?” He was surprised to see his son ignoring him. His son was always flashy and arrogant, so his behavior was quite unusual. Luther was in no mood to pay attention to his father. He returned to the room angrily without saying a word. “Guard, what’s going on? Did someone bully my son?” Luther's father, Klein, glared at the guard unhappily, blaming the guard for everything. The guard kneeled in fear and felt sorry for himself. “The young sir was brows
The shopkeeper was clearly relieved by Philip’s remark and direct approach. However, he was also embarrassed by Philip’s bluntness. He smiled at Philip awkwardly as an apology. “Why don’t you recommend a pet for my buddy? It should be a stronger one, preferably a combat type!” Philip glanced at Carlos. He knew that Carlos was too embarrassed to take the initiative. Carlos looked at Philip gratefully, letting out a shy chuckle. The shopkeeper recommended several pets to them. Carlos was dazzled by the sight and wanted them all. Adam looked at the scene with satisfaction. Although he had a high position, he did not have a decent pet either. It was difficult to have a pet in their world. With a wave of his hand, Philip generously bought a pet for each of them. At this time, Philip heard a whine from somewhere. He turned his head curiously and looked for the source of the sound. “What’s that noise?” Philip looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, unable to find the source of
Luther was at a loss for how to react. If the rabbit could speak, it had to be stronger than his pet. Although his pet was very powerful, it was just an ordinary creature that could understand some basic instructions and handle normal interactions. A talking pet was simply to die for. “Wow, how can that monster pet speak? It’s a force to be reckoned with.” Luther was shocked to see a talking pet. It was enviable to have such a powerful monster. Before this, he mocked the rabbit for not having any ability, but the tide had turned. He was almost going crazy with jealousy and wished that he could take the rabbit for himself. “I didn't bring my pet along, so I’m afraid I can’t show it to you. Losers like you don’t deserve to see my pet.” Luther acted full of snobbery and disdain, but he clutched his purse awkwardly. In fact, not only did he bring his pet out, but he had also been ready to show it off at any time. After all, his pet was very powerful and could grow bigger or sma
Philip was annoyed by the guy’s ridicule and simply wanted to keep a distance from him. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t want to pay attention to a loser.” After saying this, Philip could not wait to leave this disgusting place. He felt sick at the sight of the guy’s ugly face. Carlos lost the mood to watch the fun. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave. However, that guy was used to getting his way. He did not plan to let them leave in one piece. Anyone who offended him had to die. “Surround him. Don’t let him run away!” The man glared at Philip with disdain, sure that Philip would die. Philip was quickly surrounded by a large group of people. They were angry that Philip dared to go against their boss. “Who are you? Where did you come from? How dare you disobey our boss? Didn't he tell you to stop?” a guard yelled angrily. He was clearly a competent lackey, loudly accusing Philip as if he was going to stand up for his boss. “What are you looking at?
