Houston was shocked. He looked into Philip’s eyes and started to feel guilty.What was wrong with this guy?He did not appear to be a useless bum who depended on his woman...“What are you doing? What do you mean who sent me? I’m the vice-chairman here! Who are you and how dare you talk to me this way?”Houston’s face fell. He stared at Philip arrogantly and said.Philip did not back away. He said calmly, “Then let me give you a piece of advice, Mr. Michaels. Don’t cross my wife, and most importantly, don’t cross me.”Philip was the heir of an influential family. He knew how to read people.There was something fishy about Houston Michaels.Hehe!Houston chuckled coldly. How dare a spineless coward threaten him.What a joke!He was from the Michaels family. He was someone who had the support of the Wallises from Golden City. How dare an idiot like him have the audacity to speak to him like this. He was digging his own grave!“Madam Johnston, is this your wonderful husband? H
“Where are we going?”After they got into the car, Philip asked without thinking the matter through.Her wife’s body was perfect!Inside the car, Wynn took off her coat. She was wearing a white blouse that made her look sexy and elegant.“Kempinski.”Wynn replied. She started reapplying her makeup. After all, she was representing Beacon Pharmaceutical, so her appearance later was very important. Plus, it was an important project for the company. It was about the sales of the newly-developed medicine that could combat cancer.If this medicine entered the market, Beacon would be the first one to develop this in the pharmaceutical industry.“Hey, do you think I look okay?”Wynn looked at the mirror and asked Philip.Philip turned his head to look at her. He grinned and said, “Of course. My wife’s the most beautiful woman on earth.”Wynn rolled her eyes at him but was secretly delighted. She said, “You have such a sweet mouth.”Suddenly, she remembered something. She said, “Righ
Philip said coldly, “Mesmerized my *ss! She’s my wife!”Initially, Noah was not bothered by Philip at all. After Philip said this though, Noah turned around and stared at Philip with an icy glare.He was already agitated, but when he heard what Philip said, he immediately sized him up and chuckled.“So you’re Madam Johnston’s useless husband? Hm, I heard about you when I came to Riverdale. You’re just another worthless piece of trash who depends on women.”Noah’s face was filled with sarcasm.How would a man like that suit a goddess like Wynn?Philip shrugged and looked indifferent. He said, “I’m sorry, I’m sick, so the doctor told me I can only depend on women for the rest of my life. Are you jealous?”Philip did not hide. He went head-on with Noah.He could tell that Mr. Anderson had some ulterior motives.“You!”Noah was livid. His men were all glaring at Philip aggressively. As long as Noah gave them an order, they would immediately pounce on him and rip his mouth from hi
Wynn was panic-stricken, but she could not stop him. She could only hint at Philip with her eyes.Noah lifted his glass and drank with Philip once more.Philip downed the contents in his glass.“Haha! Nice tolerance! I’m taking you as my friend today!”Noah was smiling on the outside as he filled Philip’s glass again.Philip looked at the full glass of baijiu in front of him. There was a slight smile on his lips.Drinking?Sorry, he had drunk quite a lot back in the days.This was nothing to him.“Here, Brother. This is a toast from me to you!”Noah lifted his glass and downed the baijiu after lifting his head.He was experienced in the business industry and had been to numerous dinners before. He had already trained himself to be extremely tolerant, so he would be fine even if he downed three bottles of Wuliangye.Plus, he had already stationed his people around Kempinski, so he would not need to worry that Wynn would escape from this place.“Good! Let me toast to you as
Philip was the one who bought it?Impossible!“Wynnie, what nonsense are you spewing? Don’t try to protect Philip. I’ve heard all about it. This villa is under your name.”Martha smiled embarrassingly, but she was slightly panic-stricken.Wynn did not look like she was lying.Was it true?However, this mansion was worth 200 million! If it was not bought with the money from Wynn’s company…. Impossible! How could Philip, the useless bum, have so much money?“Mom, do you think your daughter has that much money to buy this villa?”Wynn’s face was cold as she asked.“D-Didn’t Clarke Group from Capital City invest a billion bucks into your company? Didn’t you use that money to buy it?”Martha said while gritting her teeth and shaking her head.Wynn looked at Martha and said helplessly, “Mom, do you know that embezzling is a crime? Do you think I’m someone who’ll use my company’s money for my selfish needs?“Plus, the funding from Clarke Group of Capital City is not here yet.”Af
Martha sat on the head of the bed and watched as Philip drank the soup. Then, she smiled and said, “Oh, we’re family. You’re my son-in-law. Who should I be good to if not you?”If anyone else heard what she said, they would have thought that they were extremely close.However, when Philip heard it, it felt ear-piercing and sarcastic.Like the quote said, ‘Beware of suspicious folk bearing gifts, they are sure to be ill-intentioned’. Was this not why Martha was fawning all over him this morning?“Mom, do you need anything?” Philip asked.When Martha heard that, she immediately played dumb and said, “No, it’s nothing. What can I need? Oh, get up soon, I bought breakfast for you. Come down and eat.”After she said that, she turned around and left.Philip looked at Martha’s back and shook his head helplessly. Then, he scoffed.Martha’s every thought was written on her face.After he went downstairs and entered the dining room, Philip started to drink the milk and eat the bun that
Philip looked at the tattooed man who was charging toward him. He shook his head helplessly. He swung his arm and muttered, “You’re the one who’s forcing me. Don’t blame me.”Slap!A loud noise!Philip’s hand made contact with the tattooed man’s face. The man spun 360-degrees after being slapped by Philip.“You… How dare you hit me!”The tattooed man finally stopped spinning. He pointed at Philip and growled while his head was still spinning.“Why should I be scared? Come at me.”Philip grinned and slapped him again!The tattooed man could not see how Philip slapped him. He felt like he was being slapped by an iron board. His body started to spin uncontrollably.Philip was not done yet. He started using both his left and right hands. The entire dimly lit alleyway was filled with slapping noises!Philip only stopped when he got tired.The tattooed man’s face was as swollen as a pig’s head now. His mouth was filled with blood. Then, he shook his head and collapsed onto the g
He grabbed the ring over his head that was meant to support passengers and lifted his leg to kick Philip’s waist.If his kick landed, Philip would either be half-dead or half-crippled!Philip did not have time to hesitate. Chico’s heavy foot was already coming at him.He snorted. He did not move his body, but instead, he lifted his right leg and kicked the joint of Chico’s other leg.Crack!The loud sound was caused by Chico’s bone breaking.Then, everyone on the bus heard Chico’s screams of pain. He sat on the ground while his legs split open. Huge droplets of sweat started to roll down from his chubby cheeks.“Ah! My leg! My groin!”Chico was trembling with pain. While he clutched the knee on his left leg, his other hand grabbed his right leg.He felt like he had been split open. The pain was burning!A few of Chico’s bald men were speechless after they saw what happened. They were so shocked that they all gasped at the same time.After a while, they finally came back to t
“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
