“What’s wrong with my card?”Martha was anxious. She tried to crane her neck over to the other end of the glass to see what was on the computer screen.“Madam, I’m sorry. We can’t check the balance of your card for the time being. Plus, our branch doesn’t have the permission to check your card. You need to go to our headquarters.”The woman behind the counter said apologetically.This was the first time she encountered this.There were two big red words on her computer screen that spelled out ‘No permission’.What was going on?“Why is this happening? Can you try checking it again? I remember seeing a lot of money on this card previously.”Martha refused to give up.The woman behind the counter did not know what to do as well. She got up and fetched the manager.When the manager got here and saw the words ‘no permission’ on the screen, he was puzzled as well.He had been working here for 20 years but never encountered this before.He even asked Martha to reenter the pin. Ho
After a long while, she finally saw an elegant figure walking down the spiral stairs. She was wearing a long black dress and there was a Persian in her arms.With every step, the woman’s high heels clicked against the tiles. Martha felt as if her heart had been struck.Giada!It was Giada!Martha was petrified.What did she want?Giada looked at Martha who was trembling all over and sat down on the sofa. She caressed her Persian and said coldly, “We meet again, Martha.”“M-Madam Wallis, what are you doing? I didn’t do anything wrong, did I?”Martha was terror-stricken. She was scared that Giada would hit her again.There was a cold smile on Giada’s lips, and her eyes were filled with disdain. She said, “I didn’t call you here for any particular reasons. I just want you to do something for me. Once you do it, you’ll get five million bucks.”After she said that, Giada’s subordinate took out five silver boxes and placed them in front of Martha.When the boxes were opened, there
At this moment, Philip’s phone rang!It was from George!He put down the glass and walked out of the hall. “Old Man George, how’s it going…”His voice got softer and softer as he walked further away.Martha let out a sigh of relief when she saw Philip putting down the glass. She was extremely fidgety.Thankfully, he did not drink it.However, Martha started to panic again. She had already used one packet, which meant she only had two more chances left.Should she let Philip drink this?Martha was feeling nervous. It was not poison, so he would not die.After Philip walked out of the hall, he went to a corner. George’s respectful voice sounded from the other end of the phone. He said, “Young Master, we couldn’t find Mr. Fennel Leigh in Chinatown. I went to his place, but he’s not there anymore.”“Not there anymore?”Philip frowned. After staying silent for a while, he said, “Alright, understood. Just find a place to stay over there and keep in touch with him.”After he hung
‘What do you mean treating you to a meal even when I’m like this? You’re the ones who are forcing me!‘No!‘Treating you to a meal? Don’t go off-topic!’Harrison could not express his misery. He had no choice but to suffer in silence. The heartless grim reaper was talking loudly in front of him. How would he dare to revolt?Especially when Philip was addressing him so intimately. Harrison could not help but tremble. Philip was just trying to aggravate him by praising him excessively. This was not fun at all! He wanted so badly to just submit to Philip right now.He could not take this anymore, especially when that kid was praising him continuously and being so generous. He was livid as he slammed his hand down on the table and yelled, “Enough! F*cking…”In the end, before Harrison could finish swearing, he saw Philip sipping his alcohol coldly from the corner of his eye. He could not help but tremble after seeing that cold action and piercing gaze.Disdain!Yes, it was disdain!
He glanced at the signboard of Tex Hall and looked for the private room his nephew told him about. When he pushed open the door, he was shocked. What was happening? Harrison and Philip were enjoying themselves inside while the beautiful woman was sitting quietly next to them.From the looks of it, this looked like a gathering of old friends.Did Harrison not tell him to come hold the fort? What was going on, then?The man walked inside and sat down after pulling a chair. He lit a cigarette and kicked the table. He yelled, “Boy, where is he? How can you enjoy yourself like this? Do you want to do this or not?”Norm West looked down on his nephew. However, he was still his nephew after all. Blood was thicker than water. He had cleaned up after Harrison’s mess plenty of times before. It was always minor things like fights and nothing major. It would be fine after he talked to the other party.However, this time, his nephew told him that both of his legs were broken. He even had to be
“It’s done?”Suddenly, the woman opened her mouth. Her voice sounded super sweet. She looked over and there was a foxy allure in her eyes.“It’s time for me to show myself now,” Juan said coldly. He was fiddling with something in his hand.He had been waiting for this day for a very long time.“Juan, I have to warn you. Philip is not as simple as you think.”That woman got up slowly and moved her red lips. She let out a soft breath and said, “I’ve been watching him for a long time and I still can’t find a chance to take action against him. You’re too impulsive. If you mess this up, the master won’t be happy.”“Margot, when did you become so cautious? He’s just a young master from the Clarke Group in Capital City. Maybe I was scared of him before, but now, he’s not even worth my time. He’s just a piece of trash!” Juan said coldly. He savored the whiskey in his hand.Margot Pearson stretched lazily and chuckled lightly. “You’re taking action without thinking this time. I won’t tel
At that moment, Philip figured that having to come here was not too bad. He was so lucky to be able to see such a hot policewoman.Especially the icy aura coming off her. It would make anyone feel a deep veneration for her.She furrowed her brows. Her delicate features were giving out the lofty quality of a strong woman. She treated all evil-doers as if they were her mortal enemies.Philip shrugged and said, “Madam, isn’t it written in your notes?”Yvette was wondering if she misheard him. What attitude was that?Jackson was shocked as well. Was this guy insane? How could he talk to Yvie like that? Was he trying to get beaten up?“What attitude is this? Do you know where you are? You should watch yourself while you’re in here,” Yvette said angrily.It was not like she had never encountered people like Philip before who refused to be obedient after they came in here. They thought they were bigshots, but in the end, they were all just Peppa Pigs.“Don’t you know where you are? Fi
Norm did not dare to lecture Yvette. He looked at her in dissatisfaction. If Yvette did not come from a huge family background, Norm would not tolerate her so much. He said, “Simms, Jackson is new and inexperienced, but you’re our number one! How can you let someone like him boss you around?”When he said that, he glared at Philip. This guy was still so arrogant even when he was already at the station. He would teach him a lesson later!“Norm, what do you mean?”Yvette naturally knew what Norm was plotting.“You guys should know that the city is trying to win the title of Civilized City. The upper management ordered us to take good care of each administrative region. We can’t allow any evil forces to run amok. If not, everyone will get punished when the upper management asks why we didn't get the title.“There are so many things happening in our administrative regions now. Mr. Warner is busy taking on the tasks given to him by upper management. He doesn’t have time to overlook mat
“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
