Philip looked up, a cold smile on his lips. “What if I don’t want to leave?”The tension thickened, and the air around them seemed to become several degrees colder.Philip and Joshua stared each other down, sparks flying.Yolanda scoffed, “That’s enough, Joshua, don’t waste your breath on these idiots! Let’s go!”After all, even Yolanda knew that she should not cause a ruckus here. That would not end well for any of them.The two men were pulled apart, and Joshua gave Philip one last word of warning. “I’m letting you go this time, Philip, but just you wait and see!”“Oh, I’ll be waiting.”Philip said with a calm smile.“Look at what an *ss that Joshua was, Philip! Makes me really wanna give him a beating!”Howard huffed, “When will the party start? I really want to see you take the stage so you can give him the shelling of a lifetime in public! Showing off like that, all cuz his old man has a bit of money and some connections. So what if he has his own little company and a tin
“It was Master Clarke from Clarke Group,” Vernon said with a smile.Wynn froze, her entire body stiffening. It was Master Clarke again.Who was this Master Clarke? Why did he keep helping her?Just then, a group of people walked through the main doors to the hall. They carried with them an impressive presence, led by a middle-aged man with a beer belly and a red face. The man greeted the many tycoons from Riverdale.It was Ronald Harris from Harris Enterprise!That was the main player in Riverdale’s real estate scene!The moment he showed up, the spotlight turned to him for a while. Many people approached and greeted him.When Hudson saw Ronald walk in, his expression darkened. He turned to his assistant and said, “Go, get Ronald Harris over here.”He was very angry that Ronald and his son had taken credit for the young master’s actions. They nearly pulled the wool over the young madam’s eyes.Over on his side, Ronald was still greeting the others when a man in a suit ran up t
Ronald exploded like a volcano, showing just how intimidating he could be!He glared at his son and jabbed a finger at his nose, “You useless, useless son! How dare you lie through your teeth like that? When have I ever helped young Wynn here?”Joel was stunned. He looked at his father in confusion.What was wrong with the old man? Why was he turning on his son?Wynn was quite disappointed right now. Joel, who was once sunny and bright, had changed completely!He had become so two-faced and fake!“What are you saying, Dad? Didn’t you help Wynnie that time? I called you and you said you would assign someone to it. You said you could handle it.”Joel frowned deeply and forced the lie through, but he was getting a bad feeling about this.“Nonsense! When have I ever said that?”Ronald was properly furious now. “I just said I would have someone look at it. When did I ever say that I could solve it?”The air turned tense.“What on earth is happening here? Please tell me honestly,
No way!The man was a good-for-nothing, through and through!Joel shook his head and dismissed that ridiculous notion.After that, he continued to give chase, trying to catch up to Wynn and explain.Philip was at the door. When he saw Joel running past him in such a hurry, he was inevitably confused. Why was Joel Harris here too?Joel was shocked to suddenly see Philip here too. The next second, he was filled with rage. If it were not for Philip, Joel would be living happily with Wynn by now.He went up to Philip furiously and grabbed the latter by his collar, roaring, “Why are you here, Philip, you piece of trash?”Why?Why was this worthless wretch here at Copper Peacock Palace?The party tonight was held for Clarke Group’s Master Clarke. If Philip was here…Impossible!Philip yanked Joel’s arm away and straightened out his collar, sneering at Joel coldly. “Why am I here, you ask? You’ll know soon enough. Stay put and don’t leave, okay?”“F*cking idiot! F*ck you!”Joel s
The seven or eight young men and women immediately looked at Philip with contempt.“Have y’all seen enough? Scram off somewhere you’re actually welcome.”That was when Howard stepped forth and tried to shoo them off impatiently.“Haha, what’s the matter? Are you afraid of embarrassing yourselves too? If you are, shouldn’t you get the hell out of here?”Samantha crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking down her nose at them.“Shut up! Seriously, Samantha Benson, don’t you have anything better to do? I want to stay here, so I’ll stay. What the hell does that have to do with you?”Phillip snapped back, clearly angry now.“Hmph! R*tard!”Samantha scoffed, “You’re a turtle who’s never left your tiny shell. Stay here if you like, then you’ll see how puny you really are.“Let’s go!”Samantha turned around, sticking up her perky butt.Yolanda, Joshua and the rest happened to witness that scene too.“Haha, look at that. Joshua. Philip sure is useless. He took all that scoldin
Hudson reached out his hand enthusiastically to shake Philip’s.Everyone was stunned!All of them had their jaws drop, their hearts in utter turmoil!Frank, Samantha and the others were even more taken aback. Samantha especially had her mouth open so wide that she could stuff two whole eggs into it!Someone, please tell her what was going on here!Joshua, Yolanda and their group were stunned speechless as well. They stared intently at Philip, who wore a composed smile.No, that could not be!It must be a mistake!They were not the only ones who thought that. Samantha and her friends were similarly in disbelief!“Did you make a mistake, Mr. Cash? There’s no way he’s Master Clarke, he’s my third aunt’s son-in-law who married into the family. He’s a good-for-nothing food deliveryman.”Frank said snidely, interrupting Hudson’s handshake with Philip.“That’s right, he can’t possibly be Master Clarke. He’s just a poser of a peasant! There’s no way he’s Master Clarke.”Samantha sh
Philp looked at everyone’s expressions of shock. His eyes cold, he stared at Frank and said, “You say you had a meal with me before, Frank?”Smack smack smack!Philip’s words were like lightning-quick slaps to Frank’s face.Frank suddenly remembered the lie he had told at the Johnstons’ place that day. How embarrassing.Samantha was completely red now too. She did not even dare to raise her head, her entire body shaking.The worthless wretch was now emanating a terrifying aura!“N-No… You must be kidding, Master Clarke. How could little old me ever sit at the same table as you?”Frank lowered his noble head. In front of Philip, he had no qualms bending his back low.The sweat dripped off the corners of his forehead and fell onto the tips of his shoes.He did not dare to raise his head or straighten his spine.After all, Philip had not said anything yet.Behind Frank, Samantha’s eyes were lowered too. Her panic and terror showed clearly on her face.Philip did not look at Fr
She was about to step forth when her phone rang at just the wrong moment. Wynn glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Joel.She frowned her pretty crescent brows and simply rejected the call.Immediately, however, she received a text instead.The contents went straight to the point. “Wynn, I’m waiting for you at the carpark. There’s something I have to tell you about Philip.”Philip?Did something happen to him?Wynn was worried. She glanced at Master Clarke, who was surrounded by his admirers, and decided that she could still see him later anyway.That was why she turned around and headed for the carpark outside.She was very worried about Philip.On the other hand, Philip was giving a speech on the stage to a hall full of attentive guests.Yolanda had returned after leaving, and now she was standing amongst the crowd, still feeling lost. Her large eyes stared intently at Philip, in the middle of his speech.So he really was Master Clarke.“That piece of trash! He’s
“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
