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
Philip did not say anything. He immediately called a cab to the hospital.He kept urging the driver to drive faster.Damn that Juan! He was really storing up for future calamities!What did he want?Back then, Philip had let him go. Now, he was back. Was he here to seek revenge?Philip huffed and puffed after he got out of the cab at the entrance of the hospital. He ran to the sixth floor where Mila’s room was.Bang!He pushed open the door loudly.Philip saw a man drinking coffee on the sofa in the room. He was wearing a navy blue suit and had his hair swept back. There were two solemn bodyguards behind him. They were all wearing black suits, and coldness was radiating from every inch of their bodies.From the air around the bodyguards alone, Philip could tell that these two had survived battles of life and death.Philip ignored Juan and ran to the bed. He noticed Mila was still sleeping and that she was completely fine.“A father’s love is so amazing. I didn’t think you co
After Juan left, Philip made a call. His entire body was engulfed with murderous intent. He said, “Investigate one person for me. His name is Juan Parker. I want to know all the people who are backing him.”“Daddy.”Suddenly, a childish and sweet voice called out to him.Philip turned his head, and there was a gentle smile on his face. He looked at Mila who just woke up. She was rubbing her sleepy eyes before she held out her hands to ask for cuddles.“Hey, Daddy’s here to visit you.”Philip walked over with a smile on his face. He carried Mila and started playing with her. They looked very happy.After a while, Anne walked in. When she saw Mr. Philip, a smile appeared on her face as she asked, “Mr. Philip, why are you here today?”Philip was playing with Mila’s toys. He smiled as he answered her, “I’m just here to take a look.”Then, he remembered something. He asked, “Oh right, how’s your brother?”After he said that, Anne walked over and knelt in front of Philip. She sobbed
“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
