Philip turned around and saw his mother-in-law approaching him with a confused expression on her face. Her eyebrows were twisted into a deep frown, and she looked extremely unhappy. At this moment, Martha simply could not hide her contempt for Philip. The two ladies next to her were elegantly and luxuriously dressed. One of them was Martha’s sister, Paula. Philip did not recognize the other person as it was the first time he met her, but from her looks and appearance, she was from no ordinary family. Since both Martha and Paula were trying their best to please the other party, it was conceivable that her identity was quite special. “What are you doing here?” Martha was quite surprised to run into Philip here, but she was even more upset to see him. She had finally begged Paula to introduce her to a distant branch relative of the Longford family to bring them for a look at the villas in Longford Park. However, they ran into this useless son-in-law of hers. If the other par
Martha hurried to explain. “No way, don’t listen to his nonsense. If he can buy a villa here, I’d serve him tea and wait on him every day.” Hmph! Barb sneered and said, “Do you think that Longford Park is a vegetable market where just anybody can buy as they please?” Martha quickly acquiesced. “Yes, you’re right.” After that, she glared at Philip and walked up to him angrily. She raised her hand and slapped him while shouting, “Get the hell out of here! Do you still want to stay here and embarrass me further?” Philip did not expect that he would be slapped. The expression on his face hardened as his eyes turned cold. It was not only a day or two that he had tolerated Martha Yates. Unfortunately, the vindictive woman standing in front of him was Wynn’s mother. Philip shook his head helplessly. He turned around and walked toward Tiger and the Maybach. Barb and Paula were full of contempt at Philip’s actions. Had that guy gone mad? That was a Maybach! Did he delive
Philip looked at the phone display with a frown and connected the call. On the other end of the line, the sounds of crying and angry shouts came through. “Philip, come and save me. I… I got into an accident with your car, and the other party wants me to pay 20 million…” “Accident? What kind of damages cost 20 million?” Philip got a shock. Lynn was just too unreliable, getting into an accident just like that. That was a Ferrari! She got into an accident and the other party was demanding 20 million in compensation? Was it possible that the other party drove a luxury car too? Was this the day for luxury bumper cars? Lynn could not explain clearly over the phone. She was just crying and shouting. “Philip, come here quickly! There are so many of them. If I don’t pay up, they said they’ll take me away and go to my house to look for my parents!” Philip caved in and hurriedly said, “Wait for me, I’ll be there soon.” Philip hung up the phone, got into Tiger’s car, and rushed
As soon as Lynn finished her sentence, the crowd burst into laughter. “The f*ck! She doesn’t even recognize a Ferrari Enzo.” “So embarrassing. That’s an Enzo, a top-notch sports car! It’s a Ferrari royalty, a super sports car that’s no longer in production!” “But of course. Only a few hundred vehicles were produced in the world, and in this country, only six or seven are here!” Listening to the crowd’s discussion, Lynn began to realize that the situation was not quite right. There were only six or seven in the country? A Ferrari royalty, a super sports car that was no longer in production? Oh no! Lynn panicked all of a sudden, and her eyes started drifting. She still said stiffly, “I don’t believe you. My cousin-in-law will be here soon.” Lynn stomped her foot bitterly. The discussions of the onlookers had deflated her bubble a little. Across from her, the few young men simply chuckled. The owner of the Ferrari Enzo, the young man in the white shirt, said, “Okay,
Philip came running from a distance and rushed into the crowd. He grabbed hold of Lynn and asked in concern, “Lynn, are you alright?” Lynn wept bitterly and threw herself into Philip’s arms, crying, “Philip, they… They want me to accompany them to sing and dance. They said if I don’t sleep with them, I have to pay 20 million!” Boohoo! Lynn sobbed piteously. Philip comforted her and said, “Okay, okay. Just leave everything to me. It’s going to be fine.” Lynn rubbed her teary red eyes and asked cautiously, “Really? It’s 20 million. Philip, do you have so much money?” Philip shrugged, turned toward the few arrogant young men, and said, “Isn’t it just 20 million? Why are you pulling her into the car?” The leading guy in the white shirt chuckled. He scrutinized Philip from top to bottom before pointing at his nose. “F*ck! Where did a beggar like you come from? Are you trying to stick your nose in here?” “What the hell? Open your blind eyes and see clearly. This is the Ferrar
“I’m telling you, this car is not mine, but you don’t believe me. Now, not only do you want me to pay 20 million, but you also want me to pay over one million for the car repair fees,” Philip put out his hands and said helplessly.It was time to teach his cousin-in-law a lesson. If not, she would not remember her place.She was so arrogant and bossy. How would she survive when she stepped foot into society?“Ah!”Lynn was stunned. She stomped her feet in frustration. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? What should I do? It’s more than 20 million! Sob, sob, sob…”Lynn was horrified. She squatted down on the street and started crying without caring about her image.Philip waited for her while she cried and sighed. Then, he was about to walk over and negotiate with the few youngsters.Lynn stood up suddenly and ran. While she was running, she shouted, “It’s his car! Go ask for money from him!”Everyone was completely shocked.A second later, Lynn had vanished from their sight.Damn
Martha started to panic. She rubbed her eyes furiously. She wanted to go and take a closer look.Her eyesight was not that good, so she was scared that she might just be seeing things.“Hey, why are you running around on your own? You can’t see this! Get out now!”Suddenly, a tall and slender maid stormed in and stood in front of Martha. She brought her out and shut the door of the room.This was the master bedroom. How could she barge in on her own?This woman was so full of herself. How dare she wander around on her own.She told Martha she could only visit the first floor. The second floor was forbidden!Martha did not have the chance to give the wedding photo another glance before she was pushed out. She was being kept on tenterhooks.“I’m sorry, I was lost.” Martha explained timidly.The maid peered at her coldly and mumbled, “Go downstairs now. Your friends are waiting for you downstairs.”Martha could not do anything more, so she went downstairs. She ran into Barb and
“Mom, I really…”“Enough! Shut up, why are you still lying?”Martha was mad. This useless guy was still lying about this? “Right, come back for a while. There’s going to be a guest in the house. Come back and act as the supporting role.”After she said that, Martha hung up the phone. She slammed the phone down on the coffee table with her cheeks puffed in anger.“What’s wrong? Did Philip make you upset again?” Charles asked after noticing the changes in Martha’s expression.“That wretched bum is still lying to me. He said he bought a house at Longford Park. You have no idea, the mansions over there cost at least 35 million! Is he crazy? How can he say something like this?”Martha gritted her teeth in anger.Charles shook his head helplessly. He sighed and asked all of a sudden, “Will you move there if he has really bought a house at Longford Park?”Martha was taken aback. She frowned and pointed at the door after getting up. She shouted, “He’s just a worthless piece of trash. H
“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
