“Renner, why aren’t you apologizing to Mr. Clarke? Don’t you want your project to be approved?”Nick stopped smiling and began to weaponize his authority instead.Mont immediately panicked. Very reluctantly, he told Philip, “Sorry, I was rude to you just now. I hope you won’t hold it against your uncle.”Philip smiled. “No worries, Uncle Mont. We are family, after all.”Everyone burst out laughing at that, all to try and ease the tension in the air.Only Cindi and her mother continued to look constipated. They wanted to criticize Philip some more, but they never expected that good-for-nothing to know someone as impressive as Nick Cage.The others were shocked as well, but they hid their reaction behind awkward smiles.Just a second ago, that man was a worthless wretch just about anyone could criticize, but now they were saying that he was friends with Nick Cage, a director at the Land Registry. What a miraculous turn of events!Everyone returned to the room, but over the meal,
Wynn was beside herself with anxiety. “I don’t know! The hospital called and said it was an accident.”An accident?F*ck!Philip slammed the gas and raced toward the hospital.Once they reached the hospital, Wynn scrambled out of the car. There were a great many ambulances crowding the entrance, and the casualties kept streaming in.The hospital was in complete chaos!Several dozen nurses and doctors were yelling at the top of their voices,“Over here, over here! This one’s critical! Stop the bleeding, stat!”“We need oxygen over here!”“Hurry up and get more hands in from other hospitals! Call the director!”The scene was a complete mess. There was an endless stream of victims covered in blood getting carted out of the ambulances!The whole place smelled of blood!There were missing arms and legs everywhere!The wailing never stopped!Wynn was faint with shock. Her entire body trembled and she clapped her hand over her mouth, looking for something amongst the bodies cove
“What, now the two of you are ganging up to defend that wretch? Won’t you spare a thought for me at all?”Martha was furious and especially unhappy when she saw that Charles and Wynn were united against her.She was the master of this household.Philip was nothing!“Mom, could you stop being so unreasonable?”Wynn was flabbergasted. What was wrong with her mother now? Why did she have such a temper all of a sudden?”“I’m being unreasonable? Look at him, he’s just standing there! He could’ve at least asked to look at our wounds. We might seem fine at first, but what if we’re more badly injured somewhere you can’t see? All he’s doing is standing there. I bet he just wants us to die as soon as possible!”Martha said fiercely, her brows raised viciously and her expression icy. Her gaze shone with her rage at Philip.“Alright, Mom, Dad. I’ll go call a doctor now.”Philip had no choice. He turned and jogged off to get a doctor.Even Philip had no idea how he had survived three year
Philip looked at Wynn’s curious gaze and mused it over for a moment before saying, “Actually, Wynn, Nick knows Giada. He’s just polite to me out of respect to her.”Giada?Wynn blinked. It suddenly occurred to her that Philip’s stepmother seemed like a very impressive woman.She nodded to show that she believed him. “No wonder. And here I thought that you were…”“That I’m what?”Philip was suddenly nervous.Did Wynn stumble onto something?“No, it’s nothing. We should just go to sleep now, okay? I have a ton of work to do tomorrow."Wynn smiled and did not pursue that train of thought further.After a few days, Martha had mostly recovered and started getting back to her old tricks in the villa again.When Charles saw how she mumbled to herself all day about coming up with a name for the villa, he was once again flabbergasted. "Martha Yates, could you stop your ridiculous plotting for one second? Isn't it enough for us to just stay here as one big happy family? Do you have t
Had she been kidnapped?The driver threw away his instant noodles and walked over with a baseball bat.The sound of it against the floor triggered Martha’s every nerve.She yelled, “Don’t kill me! I’ll give you money, I’ll give you money!”However, when she saw the person after he got closer, she was completely stunned as if she had been struck by lightning.“You!” Martha screamed in terror.The driver in a black skintight outfit removed his cap and guffawed malevolently. He said, “Aunt Martha, I trust you’ve been well since we last met. It looks like you still remember me.”“Joel… Joel, did you get the wrong person? I asked you to teach Philip, that useless bum, a lesson. Please let me go. My head hurts. Take me to the hospital now.”Martha wailed. She was petrified.Joel was only two steps away from her. He squatted down, and she could see that his face was so thin he looked disfigured. His eyes were sunken, and he had dark eye circles. He looked like a ghost.“Shhh.” Joel
Wynn was slightly startled. Do not bring Philip?Why?However, she did not want to argue with Martha, so she simply agreed. Then, she drove the BMW Philip bought her and headed to the villa.Over here, Martha hung up the phone and cowered in a corner. Her entire body was shaking in fear and terror. She stammered and asked, “J-Joel… You won’t do anything to Wynn, right?”Martha was worried, especially when she saw Joel in this state. He was terrifying. If he did anything to Wynn, how could she live on? How would she face Wynn?Joel chuckled coldly. He got up, and when he was about to approach her, Martha fell on the floor in fear. She started wailing and crying loudly. She was petrified.“Don’t worry, Aunt Martha. I love Wynn so much. I won’t do anything to her. I just want to tell her something.”Joel chuckled coldly. Then, he took out a blue pill and threw it to Martha. He said, “Make tea for Wynn later. Let her drink this and you can go.”This was a special pill imported from
Wynn struggled with all her might. She pushed Joel away and was pale from fear. “Joel Harris, you monster! What are you doing? I’m warning you, if you dare to touch me, I won’t forgive you! Philip will not forgive you as well!”Philip. It was that Philip again!When Joel thought about Philip, it was as if his brain exploded. He was being devoured by flames of anger!“Wynnie, I’m advising you to submit to me so that you won’t get hurt. Today, no one will come and save you. I’ll take you in front of Philip!”Slap!Wynn lifted her hand and slapped him. Her hand landed heavily on Joel’s face. She used all her might and yelled, “You pervert!”Joel started laughing coldly after this slap. He tilted his head and stared at Wynn. “Yeah, slap me more. I love it when you slap me.”Then, he pounced on her aggressively before pushing her against the sofa.“Ah! Let go of me! Let go! Help! Mom, help me, help me…”Wynn struggled with all of her might as she yelled at the top of her lungs.Ho
His anger was evident.Looking at the scene in front of him, Philip could not hide the anger in him.Damn it. Joel Harris still dared to show himself!He was asking for death!If Tiger had not come and told him that Martha brought a weird man home and that she looked like she had been attacked from the way she walked, Philip would not have come.The security in the villa did not have a choice as well. Martha was the one who brought him here. They had their own rules of not asking about the business of the residents in Longford Park.Plus, Martha was purposely hiding the wounds on her body, so the security did not notice.The housekeepers of the villa had been dismissed by Martha a few days ago. Her reason being they were a waste of money.Meanwhile, she pocketed the money herself.It could be said that aside from these few people, there was no one else in First Palace today.Philip’s eyes were wide, and he was baring his teeth. Anger was boiling inside of him as he charged fo
“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
