However, the tough, tattooed man immediately blocked their way. He squeezed his chin and said in wonder, "Hey pretty lady, there’s no need to be anxious. I heard from Young Master Luther that this guy’s looking for trouble, so the few of us came to take a look at the situation."How about this, pretty lady, you accompany me and my boys for a little fun. There’s a hotel just at the side. As long as you keep us company, I won’t make things difficult for your little boyfriend. How about it?""Brother Four, don't trouble Mel. It's this guy, it's him who..."Simon who was on the side also saw that something was not right."F*ck you! Since when is it your turn to speak when I’m talking? Move aside!"Four slapped Simon's face and kicked him aside, yelling, "So what? You gonna f*cking accompany us guys to the hotel?""I will, I will accompany you!"Simon was true toward Melody, so he pulled his face and squeezed out a smile at the moment."Oh, damn it! Aren’t you being disgusting!"Fo
The people present were shocked by Philip's words!Theo Zander?F*ck off!This silly guy was talking big!He knew who Theo Zander was. How dare he pull that stunt to try to scare him off!"Man, you're really something. This isn't how one should talk big. Everyone who’s breathing here, who doesn’t know Theo Zander? You say you run in the same circle as him?"Four sneered. This guy was probably afraid.“It’s up to you to believe me or not, but I have to remind you, it's best not to mess with me. Otherwise, you’ll die horribly."Philip said calmly, his eyes deep."F*ck it! Who do you think you are to talk to Brother Four like this?!"The younger guys said threateningly.They had never seen anyone who dared to talk to Brother Four like this!This man was looking for death!Pissing off Four Dixon was a matter of broken arms and legs!Melody, who was on the side, was very touched. After all, this man was standing up for her. However, she could not help being a little worried af
Looking at the scene in front of him, Simon was so scared that he could not speak at all. He did not expect Philip to be so powerful!He felt unresigned!Philip glanced at him and said coldly, "And you, what’s your choice?"Simon was startled. His face instantly burnt red, then he gritted his teeth. He squatted down in front of Melody, held his head, and rolled out of the restaurant.The most surprised was undoubtedly Melody. She watched all this happen blankly. It was too surreal!She did not expect Philip to be so skilled besides being a distinguished guest of her father’s!Did this guy learn martial arts?The Foshan shadowless kick?“You know martial arts?" Melody opened her mouth slightly and asked.Philip smiled and said, "Yeah, why? Are you interested? I’ll teach you."Melody immediately smiled and took Philip's arm. "I like a man who knows martial arts best!" she said.Philip blushed, coughed embarrassingly, and immediately pulled Melody's arm away. As his elbow seeme
Four, who was still beaming at first, was also stunned. "Say whatever you want, Brother Clarke. You're our leader now, we’ll listen to everything you say."Philip put his arm around Four's shoulder and the brothers formed a circle. He said, "First, no more of those sneaky, immoral things!“Second, no internal conflicts and fighting among each other! I'm absolutely against that!“Third, we must be benevolent, righteous, and honest!"With that, Philip saw Four and the rest paled.He knew it would be hard to keep these thugs from stealing and harassing women. After all, that was what they used to do.However, Philip could not accept it. He had his own limits and plans!"Sure!"Four finally nodded, gritted his teeth, and said, "Brother Clarke is our leader from now on. We'll do whatever you want. Come, let's give it up for Brother Clarke.""Brother Clarke!"The group of seven to eight people all cheered for Brother Clarke. Their voices were very loud, frightening all the pedestri
Houston was in a bad mood today because he got chewed out by his father last night.It was because of the company. The Wallis family was pushing them hard.He finally got in touch with South River District's pharmaceutical mogul—the Anderson family. However, that fool Philip messed it up.Therefore, Houston was angry and pulled a long face.From a distance, he saw the commotion at the company's entrance and immediately frowned."What's this? What's this? What's all the commotion!"Houston pointed his finger at Four and the gang while yelling, "Who are you? Why are you dressed like this?"Four only gave Houston a cold glance and ignored him.Houston's expression sunk. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Philip standing at the side. He asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?" "Why can't I be here?"Philip retorted, grinning.Houston snorted and did not want to talk to him. He turned around and pointed angrily at Four and the gang as he asked, "Who are you people? Wh
The company's staff, who were onlooking, were now staring with their eyes widened. They covered their mouths as they looked at this sudden scene!'How dare that deadbeat, good-for-nothing Philip lay a hand on Beacon Pharmaceutical's vice-chairman?''Houston is the young master of the Michaels family in Golden City!''The Michaels family has a lot of power and connections in Riverdale!''Isn't he just asking for a death wish?'Wynn was also shocked and almost lost her cool. Philip's behavior was totally beyond her expectations.'Why doesn't he think about the consequences?'He's really getting more and more unpredictable lately.'When Houston came back to his senses from the shock, Philip rolled up his sleeves and looked determined to set this straight. He said, "Mr. Michaels, that's very hurtful of you to say! I must have a word with you today!"What’s equality? What does society care about now? It's equality! No job is noble or humble. You can be a business owner or you can a
Fabio wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and was secretly relieved. Fortunately, Chairwoman Johnston was here. Otherwise, he would have been unable to cope with the situation.Philip shrugged with indifference. Just before he could answer, Houston, who was in a state of rage, pointed at him and yelled, "Wynn! Do you know what your good-for-nothing husband just did to me? He hit his boss in public! Is this the employee we hired? Is this your assistant? Who gave him the nerve? How dare a deadbeat do that!"Wynn frowned a little while her expression was cold. She icily opened her mouth and said, "We're at the company, Mr. Michaels. Please call me Chairwoman Johnston!"Also, he's my husband, not a piece of trash! If you say that again, not only will my husband hit you, I’ll also hit you."Wynn said coldly.Houston was stunned and looked at the crowd around them. He scolded them for onlooking, then gritted his teeth and said, "All right! Chairwoman Johnston! As vice-chairman, I propo
Philip's eyes were cold. He sent a text message on his phone and slipped it back into his pocket. He glanced at the Cadillac behind them, gave it a thought, and followed them into the car.Intercontinental Hotel, Presidential Suite.Philip followed the two bodyguards into the private room and saw eight burly men in it. They were all dressed in black suits and had an icy aura like they had been through a lot. It was frightening.At the head of the round table sat a plump, middle-aged man tucking into a lamb hot pot.Wynn sat beside him with her arms folded over her chest. Her icy expression looked slightly anxious.Philip speculated. He saw through them at a glance.The eight people looked like martial artists, so their fighting skills should be good.As for the man who was eating hot pot, he might look plump, but there was something evil in his every move.'He's a tough guy!'However, it was all nothing to Philip.'A useless bum?'I'm sorry, I'm not one.'He did not waste a
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending the lark family’s grand ceremony of the century,” a man announced in the middle of the square, and the bride stood next to him with a happy smile on her face. If Adam was present, he would definitely recognize the bride as the woman he had been dreaming of over the years, Ashley Bay. A handsome man stood next to the bride. His every move was imposing and domineering. They looked like the perfect match. Everyone looked at this scene and blessed them happily. “After a series of careful selection, I finally found the most suitable husband for my daughter. This is an important event for the lark people!” The lark people had a high status, and everyone wanted to marry into this family. After many selections, the bridegroom finally won the bride’s hand in marriage. Over the years, countless men had flocked around Ashley. After observations from all aspects, this man fit all the criteria—so much so that Adam had long been forgotten.
“This boot records various information about the lark people that may be very important to you. I believe you’ll understand after reading it.” After saying this, Renee handed the boot to Adam. She was not a fool. She knew that Philip was not the person initiating the search. Although Adam always remained calm, he could not hide his eagerness at all. Adam looked at Renee gratefully and took the book and started reading it without further ado. The more he read, the more shocked he felt. In the end, he was full of disbelief as if he could not believe what he saw. “Is this for real?” Adam finished reading the boot quickly and handed it to Philip and Carlos. The other two flipped through the book curiously. Philip scowled. He could not tell whether the information was true or false. “Is it true that the lark people have such an ability? It's recorded in the book that they can create a world. That’s simply…” Carlos was puzzled. Only a very powerful being could create a world. Was
“Please tell me how to find them. I want to find out what’s going on, even if it's just to convince myself to give up.” Adam decided that he still wanted to find the other party. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it. If everything was a lost cause, he would give up. Hearing that, Renee seemed conflicted as if deciding whether to tell them everything. “It doesn’t do me any good to tell you this. Why should I take the risk for no reason? I do business. You need to pay a price for it,” Renee said with a smile. Philip laughed. The words sounded very familiar to him as if he said them before. He used to say such things when he was doing business just to bluff some dumb customers. “Of course, I know you do business. If you’re willing to tell us something, we can offer you something in return, whether money or other resources,” Philip said with calm confidence. No matter what the other party wanted, he could easily provide it. Renee smiled at Philip’s words. “It's
The woman seemed amused by Philip’s request. “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, I’m not a liar. Although my actions don’t seem aboveboard to you, I’m not a bad person.” The woman did not hide anything. She knew that Philip had seen through the secret of her singing. As the only man who discovered her secret, she admired Philip very much. She once vowed that she would marry the man who could resist the temptation of her singing. “By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Renee, and I'm an employee of Moon Tavern. My job is very simple, that is to bring in more profits to the tavern.” Renee seemed very sincere and told them everything about herself. “However, my method isn’t very aboveboard. You already know that I make profits by using my singing to attract customers.” Renee mentioned her secret frankly, and Philip was surprised by her honesty. “As for the secret between me and the lark people, I can tell you that they hate me so much because some
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Philip was all the more interested in this mysterious existence. He wanted to find out who they were to act so arrogantly. Obviously, the lark people were stronger than anyone could imagine. Ordinary people were afraid of this family no matter how powerful they were. Maybe the storyteller felt uncomfortable at the mention of this family, but he quickly left after a while. Philip and the others were disappointed that they could not find out the news they wanted. When they thought that they had to return in defeat, a woman appeared and looked at them calmly. The woman was wearing a veil on her face, making it impossible to see her appearance. The veil was quite an extraordinary item that could block various detections. However, Philip recognized her at a glance. She was the woman singing on the stage just now. She actually approached them. Things were getting more and more interesting. “What you want to know is taboo. Come with me if you want to fi
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
