The boss was confused but a thought soon flashed across his head. Consequently, he nodded and then shook his head. “Madam, it is something good, but it’s not worth much. It’s a fake. Why don’t I take this for one hundred thousand dollars?”The boss knew that the bangle would sell for at least 100 million in the market.“What? Only a hundred thousand?”When Martha heard him, she snatched the bangle back and shook her head. “I’m not selling it anymore. My husband told me that it’s worth at least a few hundred thousand. You’re lying to me!”The boss hurriedly explained after hearing her words, “Madam, I came all the way here. There’s no reasoning for me to lie to you. It is indeed a fake and only cost a hundred thousand bucks. If you don’t believe me, you can ask other people. If anyone offers you a higher price, I, Mo Dunbar, will pay you twice the price they offer you!”Having said that, Mo pretended to get up and leave.He was the head of the industry. Therefore, he only needed t
Martha was completely insane!She was overwhelmed with anger!She was livid!The piece of trash had slapped her. If she did not teach him a lesson, how would she maintain her position in the family?After she finished yelling, Martha lifted her hand to smash the bangle against the wall!In the blink of an eye!A roar filled the living room like a raging fire!“Don’t you f*cking dare! You’re asking to die!”Philip’s eyes were red, and he was clenching his fists tightly. Not only had wrinkles began to form at the corner of his eyes due to anger, but the veins on his neck and forehead were now twisted like the image of a dragon!“Ah!”Martha was shocked. She was going to have a heart attack from fear.Nevertheless, before she could understand what was happening, Philip walked up to her with his eyes filled with the flames of wrath. Philip glared at Martha the same way he would at a dead body!Crack!Philip reached out his hand, strangled Martha’s neck, and lifted her off the
Wynn was horrified when she saw what had happened in the house. She ran in and helped Martha up before exclaiming, “Mom, what happened? I’m going to take you to the hospital.”When Martha saw that Wynn had arrived, she was relieved. She started throwing a tantrum as she yelled, “Why should I go to the hospital? Just let me die here! Look who attacked me! It’s Philip!”When Wynn heard that, she turned around and looked at Philip in anger and disbelief. She asked, “Philip, what did you do? She’s my mother!”Philip knew that such a thing was going to happen. As long as Martha was there, things would settle down so easily.He said coldly, “Yes, she’s your mother. However, ask her what immoral things she has done.”“Y-You’re spewing nonsense! What did I do? It was just a stupid bangle! Did you have to go as far as to hit me? You even hit me until I became like this. I am your mother-in-law! You’ll be struck by lightning and thunder! I don’t care! Wynn, you have to divorce him today! If
Half an hour ago, Philip received a call from George who said that there was an emergency.Subsequently, after exiting the hospital, Philip saw George standing in front of its entrance with a cane in his hand next to his Rolls Royce.George was wearing a suit with a hat. Evidently, he looked polite and refined.However, when Philip approached George, he could see that George’s forehead was drenched in sweat, and the latter’s eyes looked frantic.Something was wrong!He had to tell the young master immediately.“What happened, Old Man George? Why are you in such a hurry to find me?” Philip asked as he walked out of the hospital’s entrance.“Young master, I was wrong.”George respectfully bowed and lowered his head. There was a hint of self-blame in his tone of voice.Philip frowned. It was his first time seeing George acting like this. He smiled and asked, “What happened?”George did not dare conceal the matter from him and replied, “Young Master, the young madam and the unbor
All of a sudden!Bang!The door was kicked open violently from outside.Wynn turned around, looked at the door, and saw a figure standing tall at the entrance. It has to be said that the figure’s back was facing the light. The person then barged inside, took Wynn’s bowl, and smashed it on the floor!Smash!The bowl was smashed into pieces.When Martha saw that the bowl had been smashed, she felt anger well up in her chest. She stood up and pointed at Philip before shrieking, “Philip, you rascal, what are you doing? Are you still going to respect your mother-in-law or not?”Slap!Philip’s response to her was a slap in the face.Martha fell to the ground after being slapped and did not get up even after a long while. She began fuming.“Philip, what are you doing?”Wynn was horrified. She had noted expect Philip to barge in, smash the bowl, and slap Martha in front of her.Nevertheless, Philip was furious. He turned around and glared at Martha who was on the floor. Then, he po
The Maybach 42S stopped in front of the old Johnston Manor.Behind it was five black Benzes.It was a motorcade!The sight attracted the attention of many passersby and neighbors around the manor.“Oh, there are so many luxury cars. Which VIP is this?”“Holy moly! Maybach 62S! It’s Theo Zander’s ride! Why is he here?”When the neighbors heard that it was Theo’s car, they backed away in fear and only dared to watch from a distance.He was the Underground King of Riverdale.There was a time when his name was the cause of the normal residents’ nightmares.Who could afford to offend him?Why was a VIP like him there?“Hey, they’re getting out of their vehicles. Who’s that? The young man looks so familiar!”“Look! That’s Theo, and that’s his number one right-hand man, Tiger!”“Who’s that young man? Theo is being so respectful to him.”The crowd watched from a distance as they gossiped among one another.They caused a huge scene, and it was difficult for them not to attract th
Slap! Slap! Slap! The sound of slapping filled the room. Martha’s face had been smacked swollen with patches of her skin blooming in shades of black and blue while blood trickled down the corner of her mouth. All Charles could do was watch from the sidelines. He could scream his lungs out, but there was nothing he could do to stop them. In the end, Tiger came forth with a bottle of medication at the snap of Theo’s fingers. He walked menacingly toward Martha who had long lost her bearings from the slaps. Setting her eyes on the concoction, Martha felt fear creep up within her. Tears streamed down her face while she shook her head as if her life depended on it. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Please don’t, Theo. Please don’t make me drink the poison, no, please…” Her begging fell on deaf ears. After clamping a hand over Martha’s throat while others forced her mouth open, Tiger then poured the concoction into her throat. Karma was a b*tch! With her head tilted up as she was force
The atmosphere in the hospital room seemed different. Giada smiled a smile that encompassed the warmth of a spring breeze, one that Philip knew there was more than met the eye. It was a smile that removed herself from the narrative while she mocked and threatened at the same time. Standing from her seat, she walked toward Philip who looked as if his entire world had crashed. She spoke gently, “Take your time as you explain to Wynn, would you? We’ll meet again, very soon.” With that, Giada waved to bid Wynn farewell. “I’ll be leaving first then, Wynn. I’m sure Philip has his reasons to hide from you, so I do hope you’ll keep an open mind and hear him out.” Wynn was about to stand and send her out only to be held back by Philip. With no other choice, she smiled politely. “You can come over next time then, Aunt Giada.” “Oh?” There was a new hint of shock in Giada’s expression at the invitation. Her brows curved into a smile. “Very well then, I’ll visit when I have time. I
“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
