Philip was furious! The critters hiding in the dark were really difficult to guard against. Wynn was startled. He could still laugh at this time. Feeling that he could not breathe at all, the man opened his mouth, but with that, the cold water would rush into his mouth and belly! He could not take it anymore. He felt that he was almost dying. His lungs were extremely hypoxic, and his entire head was buzzing and dizzy! “I’ll give you one last chance! Are you going to talk or not?” Philip shouted condescendingly. The man tapped the toilet desperately, and Philip raised his foot. Then, he grabbed him by the head, lifted him out, and shoved him heavily to the ground! The man was drenched and limp on the ground, coughing and breathing desperately. His entire face was purple! “Speak!” Philip’s face was ominous. “It’s… Jaden Larson from the Larson family of Fernvale…” Philip frowned and looked up at Wynn. Wynn also looked at Philip in surprise. Who was Jaden Larson? Wy
“Young Master Hane, that’s Philip Clarke. He’s the one who beat your brother up. It just so happens that he’s also in attendance for tonight’s party. Would you like to find someone to teach him a lesson?”Juan fanned the flames and looked at Philip not far away with unconcealed hatred in his eyes. He said, “Moreover, he’s also a stumbling block for our cooperation this time. As long as he’s around, it’ll be difficult for our cooperation to proceed.” Francis nodded silently, already shifting his gaze from Wynn's graceful back to the smiling Philip. That was the man? He was the person who beat his brother up violently in public? He truly wondered if he should hate him or thank him instead. Otherwise, he would not have the opportunity to walk into the power center of the Hane family and formally compete with Kenneth Hane for the lead position. No one knew Francis’ thoughts at this moment, but in the outsiders’ eyes, Francis Hane, who had always been calm and majestic, was actua
Philip frowned and asked, “Kenneth Hane is your brother?” Francis nodded and said, “Yes, he is.” “What are you so happy about then?” Philip asked again. Francis was taken aback by that remark. Juan and the others behind him were also stunned. No one knew the hidden backstory about this matter, but they could obviously tell that there was some conflict between Francis and Philip. The atmosphere became awkward. It could be said that Philip was not showing any respect toward Francis, and the other party was at a loss about how to react. Francis could only chuckle with a faint smile in the corners of his eyes. He displayed a generous and elegant aura, saying, “Mr. Clarke is really good at joking. I’ve heard about what happened to my brother last time. It was his fault. I’m here to apologize on his behalf.” Philip frowned slightly. He did not expect Francis to be so tolerant and generous. However, Philip was not a fool either, so he naturally would not fall for Francis’ tric
Philip lifted his leg and kicked Francis' abdomen fiercely! Simple yet brutal, completely beyond everyone's expectations! Philip’s kick was not light and Francis flew four or five meters upside down like a kite with a broken string! In an instant, Francis knelt on the ground while clutching his violently twitching abdomen. He was retching out acid water and all the red wine he just drank! It almost looked like he was vomiting blood! It was a very dramatic scene that seemed to have happened once before! Those who attended the party were all high-ranking officials and were completely stunned. That was the second son of the Hane family. He came to Riverdale to inspect the project on behalf of the Hane family. It was an investment worth hundreds of millions at every juncture, but this Philip Clarke actually kicked him because of a minor disagreement! It was extremely crude! Moreover, the most important thing was that Philip had already beaten Kenneth last time. This time,
Francis’ face was ugly through and through. He seemed to be at a loss about how to deal with the situation. He just wanted to test the waters in advance but was now stuck between a rock and a hard place.If Francis chose to retaliate on the spot, he would be criticized by other families in Capital City. On the other hand, if he did not retaliate, the dignity of the Hane family would thoroughly be reduced to rubbish in Riverdale! Francis had his pride, but he was now facing Philip who did not play by the books! “Very well! You’re the first person to challenge the Hane family! You’ll pay for your words and actions in this incident and the last! The Hane family isn’t a small family that can easily be bullied! Philip Clarke, just you wait. After tonight, Riverdale will have no place for you!” Francis said fiercely, his eyes glittering! “Very well, I’ll wait.” Standing in front of Francis, a hint of chill could be heard in his tone. “Before that, however, I want to collect some i
Trillions of assets? Was that a joke? Wynn’s eyes widened. She looked at Philip suspiciously, stretched out her hand to touch his forehead, and chuckled lightly. “Phil, you don’t seem to be running a fever.” Philip smiled faintly, hugged Wynn’s little waist, and said, “It’s nothing. I’m just teasing.” Wynn did not say anything else but went to greet the other directors. Cynthia watched as Philip and Wynn whispered sweet nothings. She stomped her foot and left the venue. She had to find out Francis’ condition and wipe Philip’s *ss! After all, the Larson family was finding ways to cooperate with Beacon. If something happened to Philip, the cooperation would be over. It was just a minor incident, but the aftermath was quietly brewing. Half an hour later, the atmosphere of the whole reception gradually relaxed, and the guests attending the banquet began to interact. After all, the episode that happened just now had nothing to do with them. It was Beacon Group’s disgrace.
She quickly took out her phone and found Vivi’s social account, then chose a photo before handing it to Philip. “There, that’s her. You really don’t know her?” At this moment, Wynn thought that Philip was a strange person. He did not even know Vivi Joo. Was he still a modern person? Philip really did not know her. He did not follow any celebrity nor watch entertainment news. He glanced at the phone that Wynn handed to him and felt as if he was struck by lightning! It was really her! Philip felt a massive headache coming. It was that Korean girl from the other night! “You really don’t know her?” Wynn asked again. Wynn felt amused at his bitter expression. Philip gritted his teeth and said, “No, I never watch entertainment news. I don't even know some domestic stars. You also said that she has been abroad before, so it’s impossible for me to know her.” On the stage, Isaac Jenks said with a smile, “Everyone, this heavyweight guest has just returned from abroad. Her parti
Her brown chestnut hair was set high behind her head, revealing a fair swan-like neck. A pair of dewy brown eyes gleamed like deep fathomless pools. The long red evening dress wrapped around her sexy and graceful torso, highlighting her almost perfect golden ratio figure. She was just like the brightest star in the night!It was Vivi Joo! The people in the audience could hardly contain their excitement now! She was an international superstar. Only in her 20s, she had reached the point where many people could only admire her from a distance! Vivi Joo, also known as little Britney, was practically the darling of the world. She started as a child star at the age of seven and her career to stardom took off smoothly since then. She appeared on the cover of Time Magazine a few years later and was voted ‘Most Popular Female Star’! Moreover, if a curious bystander checked into her background, they would find that the supporting pillar behind Vivi Joo was none other than the Joo family
“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
