Standing beside Blake, Houston also sneered. “Haha, how can a woman lead a company like Beacon? Dream on! Without support from the Michaels family, I want to see how far Beacon can go under your lead!” The provocation was obvious. It attracted the attention of many entrepreneurs and celebrities present, and everyone started discussing it. “That’s the family head of the Michaels family from Golden City, Blake Michaels. His company is worth hundreds of billions, and it’s a big group!” “Such a bigwig can’t be provoked. If Beacon became enemies with them, things will be tough for them in the future.” “No doubt about it. This Wynn Johnston is asking for it. I heard that she has a kept husband, and the conflict with the Michaels family happened because of that husband of hers.” Many people chattered mockingly. Although they were all invited to this event, they did not respect Beacon in the least, much less Wynn, simply because she was a woman. What could she do? In Riverdal
At the scene, many people began to criticize Beacon and Wynn. Their words were sharp and very insulting. Among them, there were many senior leaders in the pharmaceutical industry in Riverdale and senior officials of the Medical Association. They were now standing on the opposing side against Beacon and naturally became the focus of the press conference! This scene was being broadcasted by all major media! Suddenly, Beacon became the trending topic and the public enemy of the entire city! Counterfeit medicine! Even on the internet, news about Beacon and the fraud went viral! It was just like a huge fire that had started to burn. Moreover, people kept posting on the internet that they had bought Beacon’s medicine but not only were they not cured, they even had adverse reactions to the drug. Faced with all these, even Howard and Hayley were caught off guard. Hayley quickly went on the stage and whispered in Wynn’s ear, “Madam Johnston, something happened. The internet
At this moment, Quentin was mobilizing people in the inner hall while sternly berating, “Damn you, Trent Longford! I’ll bring my men there personally to catch that guy. I want to see how he’s going to protect him! “If I can’t take this revenge, I’ll step down as the head of the Quaid family!” As Quentin’s voice fell, everyone in the hall looked startled and started to persuade him. “Old Master, you mustn’t do this. It’s just a small Riverdale. We can handle it. You just stay here.” “That’s right. Even if that’s Longford’s territory, anyone who bullies our second young master must pay the price!” At everyone’s persuasion, Quentin waved his sleeves and said, “That’s enough. I’ve already decided. All of you get ready. We’ll be leaving at any time now.” With that said, everyone stopped talking. Suddenly! “Old Master, it’s bad! Someone has broken into our manor!” At the door, the butler rushed in and was already out of breath. Before he finished talking, several bodyguards
Crack! Suddenly, the weather over Capital City changed drastically! In the sky, thunder rumbled and its intensity was frightening! Bolts of lightning flashed across the sky, weaving among the thick dark clouds like winding dragons! Enormous, thick dark clouds covered the entire sky over Capital City in an instant! It grew dark all of a sudden. The lightning that pierced through the heavens directly illuminated the entire Quaid Manor and also illuminated Quentin's face! There was anger, frigidity, and endless killing intent! As the patriarch of the Quaid family, Quentin had fought for decades before he finally took that position. It was the golden time for him to shine. How could he be scared by the words of an ignorant brat like Philip?! “Annihilate the Quaid family? You’re the first person to utter those words! Audacious!” A ferocious beast-like roar erupted from Quentin’s chest. Behind him, dozens of special guards quickly closed the circle. At the same time,
The car door opened, and a few people in green uniforms alighted respectfully from the car while holding black umbrellas. They were guarding an old man who was stepping down from the car right in the middle of the entourage. The old man's eyes glimmered as he stared at Philip with a smile flashing at the corners of his mouth. It was Old Master Joo from Capital City’s Joo family! It was not an exaggeration to describe them as the top hidden family of Capital City! They came from the most mainstream heritage! This sort of entrance was too shocking, absolutely the most heavyweight of all heavyweights! As soon as Old Master Joo appeared, he carried with him a piercing aura and stern intensity! Everyone took three steps back as a sign of respect! Quentin raised his brows when he saw the incoming person. He immediately lowered his stance and said, “I didn’t expect Old Master Joo to visit the Quaid Manor.” This was definitely a bigwig! He was one of the few remaining bigsh
In an instant, a group of heavily armed personnel outside Quaid Manor rushed in quickly. They were all members of the Joo family! They were dressed in standard combat uniform—Protective clothing, goggles, combat boots, and weapons! Like ferocious beasts, they quickly bore a hole outside Quaid Manor and rushed in continuously! They were all personnel who had experienced life-and-death battlefields and were well-trained members of the Joo family! “Protect Old Master Joo!” “Drop your weapons! We’re members of the Joo family. Don’t resist!” One team was followed by another team! Exactly like a war movie, the scene was magnificent! In an instant, the armed men of the Joo family were everywhere. They all rushed in, instantly surrounding the people of the Quaid family! It could be seen that dozens of special vehicles had gathered inside and outside Quaid Manor. One after another, the combatants jumped out of the vehicles to form neat tactical moves before rushing into Quaid
“Kill her! This b*tch, she’s a femme fatale!” “Kill her!” someone screamed. In the crowd, people started to attack Wynn. Smack! A solid slap! Shirley Wellington appeared out of nowhere and slapped Wynn before pointing at her nose and cursing, “Wynn Johnston, you’re simply too shameless. In order to win the contract, you actually slept with so many bosses. I have evidence right here!” Shirley held a thumb drive in her hand. Wynn covered her face and shouted, “Nonsense! You’re making things up! I didn’t!” “No?” Shirley sneered, handed the thumb drive to the staff, and said, “Go and play this. I want everyone to see with their own eyes what kind of filthy woman Wynn Johnston is.” Very soon, shameful visuals of a man and a woman appeared on the big screen. “Damn, it’s really her! I can’t believe she’s that sort of woman!” “Disgusting!” The woman in the film looked exactly like Wynn. When Wynn saw this scene, she was also stunned silly. She had not done anything li
At this time, the scene of the press conference was in utter chaos. Blake’s people had directly blocked the door and surrounded Wynn and the others, not letting them out at all. All the media he contacted broadcasted the news willfully. They just stood quietly at the side, watching the show. Where were all the security guards? They had been bribed by Blake’s people and disappeared long ago. Where did Cynthia go? There was an accident in the next hall and she went to deal with it. As soon as she returned, she saw this scene. “Miss Johnston!” Cynthia was anxious. She quickly pushed through the crowd, ran over, and hugged Wynn. She noticed the blood stains on her skirt and knew that the matter was serious! “Security! Security! Get away from her!” Cynthia shouted, but dozens of people still gathered around with indifferent expressions. They were still pointing and cursing at Wynn. Howard and Hayley also tried to reason with the crowd, even starting to scuffle with the
“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
