Preston was surprised by Philip’s words. He knew that Philip was an easygoing person, always striving for harmony no matter what happened. Unexpectedly, Philip took the initiative to pick a fight! Although the other party made the first move, Preston wanted to see Philip’s counter-attack. “That’s right, let’s make them beg on their knees!” Preston applauded, admiring his teacher from the bottom of his heart. Philip smiled helplessly. This young student of his was really unafraid of causing trouble. However, Philip admired his passion. Everyone was stunned by Philip’s words. Even Sandra was dumbfounded. Philip was so bold to ask Nat to kneel to him! This man was so sassy, and Sandra clenched her fists in excitement. Nonetheless, he should not have threatened Nat Barlow! Nat and Rocco were friends and stood on the same side. They would not let Philip bully them. Sandra could already imagine Philip’s miserable outcome after they dealt with him. Rocco looked a
Philip spoke nonchalantly, not taking the other party seriously at all. Rocco was unhappy that Nat mentioned him at this time. Whether Nat mentioned him or not, he would choose to help his friend. However, Nat’s action was a little off-putting. Nonetheless, their priority was to work together to deal with Philip. Nat pointed at Philip, using his body language to express his dissatisfaction with Philip. “Since you want it so much, I'll give it to you. Let’s see if you can catch it.” Philip smirked at Nat’s appearance. Nat thought that Philip had given up and smiled smugly. He knew that this guy would not last long. Philip sneered and tossed the black card out, but it rotated in the air and returned to his hand again. Everyone was puzzled by this scene. The next moment, they heard a scream, which sounded so blood-curdling that Rocco gasped. He looked over curiously and found that the scream came from Nat. At this moment, Nat still maintained his posture of pointin
This mysterious trading company had such a huge background that even Rocco's family was just running errands for the other party. If the other party was provoked, they could cancel this auction at any time and hold it in another hotel. Rocco did not want to miss such a good opportunity, so he had to deal with this matter neatly and not leave anything that could cause criticism. If the other party canceled this cooperation, he would be made a laughingstock in the industry and receive a reputation as an incompetent organizer. At that time, the successor candidates in the family would definitely call him out for it, and the family might even strip his position as the young patriarch in their anger! Rocco was very angry. No matter what, he would never allow such a thing to happen! “You have a few moves.” Rocco frowned as he summoned a team of security guards. “Take Nat to the hospital and save his fingers. Let him see me after his mood settles down.” Rocco was very unhapp
Rocco only knew of two powerful reclusive families in Rhineville but knew nothing else about them. They remained hidden anyway, so there was no need to know about them. Therefore, Rocco had no idea who was in those reclusive families, let alone that the tall and handsome young man standing in front of him was the young patriarch of one of those families. After all, in his opinion, since they claimed to be reclusive, they would never come out. They would be living in the mountains and forests. They would not own any property in the secular world! Indeed, that was the case in the past, but times had changed. Since energy was revived, it was useless to remain in the mountains and forests any longer. They had to move around and look for opportunities to strengthen themselves by leaps and bounds. After energy was revived, opportunities could be found everywhere—maybe in the mountains, the rivers, or even on the streets. The fated ones could find them. Once opportunity kn
Philip knew that once the auction was over, Rocco would come after him again. However, Philip was unfazed and even looked forward to the excitement. “Since he wants to cause trouble, let him be. I want to see how strong he is.” Philip smiled nonchalantly. Indeed, Rocco’s level was very low. He was almost 30, but he was still in the early stage of the second zone. Even Preston had become stronger. Rocco was nothing but a loser. Preston would be furious if he knew Philip compared Rocco with him. Although Preston was not very strong, he was young and promising. With his potential, he was very suited for practice. Sandra chattered incessantly, trying to get into Philip’s good books. Philip glared at her impatiently but said nothing. In fact, things did not have to turn out this way. Sandra meddled and spoke on his behalf. It was her arrogance that intensified the conflict. Philip usually kept a low profile. If Nat really wanted the card, Philip would simply give it
People in the trading industry were very particular about money. If they found out that Rocco turned away a potential customer for his so-called dignity, they would definitely rip Rocco into pieces. Thus, to be on the safe side, Rocco calmly explained everything that happened today to everyone and put all the blame on Philip. Anyway, no one knew Philip, so Rocco could use this opportunity to build his good image. Very soon, Philip’s reputation became very bad, and some people came all the way here just to look at Philip with disdain. Sandra followed eagerly, waiting for Philip to invite her to sit down. However, Philip ignored her and made himself some tea. He would not touch anything here. If he wanted to drink tea, he had to make it himself. “Aren't you going to ask me to sit down?” Sandra felt a little worried when Philip ignored her and started making tea instead. The auction would be starting soon. She would be asked to leave if she did not find a seat by then.
Philip only knew that he did not have a good first impression of this woman. Besides, after he learned Sandra's story, he looked down upon Sandra even more. Philip already had an extremely beautiful wife at home. Why would he look at other women on the streets? Although those women had their charms and beauty, Philip was not interested in them. He still preferred the one waiting for him at home. The atmosphere at the auction was extremely serious. The people Rocco arranged stood in various positions, ready to raise the price at any time. In fact, they would do it for everyone else, not only Philip. However, they received an order to target Philip, so they would do it more obviously this time. Everyone who frequented auctions knew about this practice of shill bidding and was used to it by now. The auction started. The host took out various paintings, antiques, and jewelry, but Philip was not interested at all. He simply took a glance and turned away, seemingly blin
“If we raise the price for the final item, it won’t do us any good!” Rocco said. He knew very well that his family purchased the last auction item at a high price. If they sold it at a high price again, they would definitely be criticized. If this matter was exposed, the image of the family and the company that they worked so hard to maintain would be ruined. “If he’s really interested in that thing, we’ll raise the price and let him buy it at a high price. Then, we’ll kill him and get the thing back!” In fact, they had no intention of selling this thing at all. No matter who bought it in the end, there was only one outcome. If the other party was very strong or had a powerful family background, Rocco would consider sparing their lives. However, if it was Philip, Rocco would not hesitate to kill him as soon as possible. Rocco was full of hatred for Philip. He knew that this grudge must be resolved. After hearing the instructions from his boss, the shill bidder nodded.
“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
