Vernon glared at Boris the moment he entered the room. The latter was scared as a sinner in church. He did not even dare to breathe too loudly.“Sir, is there anything I can help you with? You can just tell me. You didn’t have to come here on your own.”Boris had a smile on his face as he bowed even lower.“Why? Do I have to report my every move to you?”Vernon’s face was dark as he looked at Boris.“Ah, no, no. You’ve misunderstood me, Sir. I mean…”Boris was so scared that he wanted to kneel on the ground. What was wrong with the chairman today? He was so angry!“Stop talking nonsense! I’m asking how did you treat this man over here? Did you offer this man a job as a watchdog?”Vernon interrogated Boris sternly. Was this guy dumb?How dare he ask a young master from a prestigious family to become a watchdog for their company?Was he asking for death?He would not be able to compensate Philip even if he owned a few Hodgson Pharmaceuticals.As he was yelling, Vernon looked
“Hello Mr. Clarke, this is my name card. I’ve heard some things about Hutten Pharmaceutical.”Vernon said frankly. He did not plan to hide.When Philip heard that, he finally understood. He nodded and asked, “What do you want from me?”Vernon almost screamed out in excitement. He said, “You’re misunderstanding me, Mr. Clarke. I just want to get to know you.”Philip smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll take your name card. I’ll look for you when I need anything. Of course, you can look for me too if anything arises. You’re not too bad.”When he heard Philip praising him, Vernon felt like he had just eaten a spoonful of honey. He nodded his head and bowed.After a while, the group of them left Hodgson Tower.After they got out, Wynn grabbed Philip and asked curiously, “Do you know the chairman of Hodgson?”Philip shook his head. “No,” he said.Wynn wanted to ask something else, but Martha started to urge them impatiently. “What are you doing? Get into the car.”Wynn stopped asking a
George quickly replied, “Alright, Young Master. I’ll take care of this matter now.”After he said that, he hung up. George then started to busy himself with contacting people.However, after ten minutes, Philip still did not receive George’s phone call. He started to complain in his heart.George was never this slow before.When he was about to call him and ask about this, George beat him to it. His tone sounded helpless as he said, “Young Master, I can’t purchase Beacon Pharmaceutical.”Philip was shocked. He frowned and scolded, “What happened? Can’t you take down Beacon?”“Young Master, Beacon changed their chairperson half a month ago. Now, it belongs to Miss Chloe Sommerset.”George said. His tone sounded anxious.He really could not handle his young master’s debt in love.“Chloe? Why did she buy Beacon?”Philip was shocked. His eyebrows were knitted together tightly. Then, he understood.Was Chloe the culprit behind Beacon’s troubles?Was it because of Wynn?“Alright
Gentleman Tea Shop.Philip arrived early. He waited for about 20 minutes before a stylish woman walked in through the door.When Chloe saw Philip, her heart started racing. However, she forced herself to remain calm. She sashayed into the shop and approached Philip slowly. She sat down quietly and removed her sunglasses. Then, she looked at him calmly.“Have you waited long?” Chloe asked. Her voice was calm.“Not too long,” Philip replied. He looked at Chloe and saw that she was still as refined as ever.Even though Chloe looked calm on the surface, her heart was beating extremely fast. Her delicate hands under the table were grasping on her skirt tightly.She had not sat in front of Philip like this for a very long time.He was still so charming. An air of arrogance was coursing through his body.Other people could not detect this air around him, but Chloe could.They used to be the golden couple that everyone was jealous of. However, that was old news.“Tell me, how will yo
Wynn was shocked. She asked curiously, “You know?”Philip chuckled and said, “Yeah, I did it. I bought your company. You’re the chairwoman now, are you happy?”When Wynn heard this, she was taken aback. Then, she lifted her perfectly plucked eyebrows and said in a flirty tone, “Alright, thank you.”Wynn knew Philip liked to joke around. Her company was in a crisis and they needed 600 million in funds. How could Philip have helped her willy-nilly?“Never mind, I’m going back to work now. Did you visit Mila today?” Wynn asked.“Yeah, I’m on my way,” replied Philip. He was already in the hospital.He knew Wynn did not believe him.Whatever, then. He had more time to explain to her next time.Wynn grunted a reply and hung up after saying something.She sat in the chairperson’s office. She thought for a long while, but she still could not make sense of this.Was it really Philip?At this moment, she got a phone call from Joel. He said with a warm smile, “Wynnie, how’s your compan
’Is that Wynn Johnston? The previous beauty queen of the school has become such a golddigger.’‘Hehe, she has the appearance of an angel but a filthy heart. You’re calling her a beauty queen? How disgusting!’‘Yeah, women like Wynn will only lie to you all. She did a lot of disgusting things when she was in school. She loved stealing her best friend’s boyfriend. I think she has her eyes on a rich man now.’‘Poor Philip. Not only is he a spineless coward, but he’s being cuckolded now.’The mood of the group chat changed instantly. They were starting to criticize and denounce Wynn. They dug out all kinds of dark history and rumors about her.They were all made up by the women who were jealous of Wynn.At the same time, Philip gave Wynn a call. “Where are you?”Wynn and Joel had just arrived at Lover's Themed Restaurant. She purposely lowered her voice and said, “I’m in the office. I’m a bit busy. I’ll tell you everything when I get home.”After she said this, Wynn hung up the pho
When Joel saw that Philip was being stopped by the servers, he felt extremely pleased with himself.He was still a useless bum at the end of the day. Joel did not need to take action against him. Philip was not worth it.Alright, then. He would just let Wynn see how much of a worthless bum her husband was.The fat manager smiled flatteringly and said, “Mr. Harris, I’m sorry. I’ll kick this smelly beggar out now. I won’t disturb your meal.”After he said that, the fat manager shouted to the servers, “Why are you still standing here? Throw him out! If he dares to step foot inside, cripple him before throwing him out again. I’ll take responsibility if anything happens!”Joel looked at Philip who had been captured by the servers. He walked in front of him and scoffed. “Philip, do you know the difference between you and me now? I’m warning you to leave Wynn immediately. If not, I have a lot of ways to screw with you.”“Throw him out!”The fat manager knew his place. After Joel finish
Oh no!This entire street belonged to Tiger and that included this restaurant. Theo Zander’s properties were behind this shop as well.The fat manager was beyond terrified. In a blink of an eye, he turned into a turtle. He cowered in fear and stopped what he was doing.Theo scowled at the fat manager and yelled, “Get the f*ck over here!”The fat manager was trembling all over. He walked over to him.Slap, slap, slap!He slapped him four times continuously on the left and right sides of his cheeks. The fat manager started bleeding inside his mouth, and three of his teeth fell out!“You’re trying to throw Mr. Clarke out?”Tiger shouted and asked.“T-Tiger, no, it’s him… He’s disturbing the customers in the shop.”The fat manager looked at Philip and was puzzled. This man knew Tiger? What was going on?Plus, Tiger looked furious!“Shut up! Kneel!”Tiger flipped out and roared.Thud!The fat manager could not stand the fierce aura Tiger was radiating. He knelt almost immedia
“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
The Hexa Guild also claimed that they would kill anyone from the Celestial Palace. Although upset, no one dared to say anything in the face of the other party’s strength. It would be embarrassing if they could not live up to their claims if they retorted now. Moreover, the battle was a matter of life and death. Everyone was risking their lives. The Celestial Palace had the confidence to face the Hexa Guild now. They believed that they could turn the situation around with their strength or at least show them what they could do. There would be a battle between the two parties in the afternoon, which was the best time to show off their strength. The young lady of the Celestial Palace would be the one contending. After improving her strength, Vanna was full of confidence and vowed to give her opponent a fatal blow or at least let them know how powerful she was. Ronan was nervous. He was not worried about his wife but worried that the Hexa Guild would take things too far. Those
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
