However, Philip abruptly sneered, “Third Uncle, don’t think highly of yourself. Your whole family is now staying in my villa. If you don’t wish to continue staying here, you’re most welcome to leave anytime.” At this point, Martha could not just sit back and watch. She got up and yelled, “Okay, Philip, you really think you’re in charge now? Are you not treating the Johnston family as humans anymore?” Martha was furious. What did Philip mean by that? Was he in charge now? “Martha Yates, what exactly are you trying to say?” Philip’s face was very grim. With a pair of cold eyes, he stared at Martha as he asked. With Charles, Amelia, and Bernard backing her up, Martha was not afraid at all. With a sullen face and furrowed brows, she took out an agreement from the drawer. She slammed it on the table and said, “Nothing much. Just sign this agreement and it’s done.” An agreement? Philip glanced around. Apart from Charles who was shaking his head helplessly, the other three h
Philip finished signing it in less than three seconds. Martha picked up the agreement and looked at it for a long time. She could hardly contain her smile as she said, “Excellent, this villa belongs to me now. Tomorrow, you’ll go through the transfer procedure with me.” After that, Martha gave Philip a fierce glare. That wastrel dared to fight with her! She would get rid of him! Philip’s expression was grim. He did not even spare a glance to the triumphant trio who had gathered around to see the agreement and walked directly to the second floor. It was just a villa. He did not care for it. What he cared about was Wynn’s opinion of him. On the second floor back in the master bedroom, Philip looked at Wynn who was lying on the bed and tiptoed over. Wynn was not asleep. When Philip got on the bed, she turned sideways, hugged Philip, and asked, “Phil, are you hiding something from me?” Philip hugged Wynn, took a deep breath, then smiled before saying, “Of course not. Go t
For instance, the tea set he took down from upstairs was previously given to him by Anna Carter. He had completely forgotten about it and just left it at home.How much was it? It was a handcrafted clay tea set worth 800,000. It could be considered an expensive gift. Seeing Philip returning with a gift box, Martha held back and said nothing. Amelia’s family was also there and they had only brought simple gifts with them. Those gifts were actually swiped from the villa and were things that Philip bought for Wynn, such as honey and royal jelly. She was really thick-skinned as she kept a few boxes for herself too. Once Wynn returned, the entire family headed toward the granduncle’s house. It was a small villa of more than 300 square meters that cost ten million. As soon as they entered the living room, they found that almost everyone was there. The second uncle’s family had already arrived, and some relatives were talking in full swing while complimenting each other.
Philip grabbed hold of Wynn before she turned around and said with a smile, “What are you going to say? I’m bankrupt now. If you tell them about it, it’s the same as telling them that I’m still that trash. Forget it. I’ve already endured it for so long. I don’t care about this time.” Wynn looked at Philip aggrievedly, took his hand, and said, "Phil, I don't want you to be treated unfairly. “It’s fine, silly. Let’s go over there. They’re waiting to talk to this successful entrepreneur.” Philip bopped Wynn on her nose and chuckled. Wynn rolled her eyes at him coyly. “What entrepreneur? I’m just your wife. Besides, if not for you, I’d still be an ordinary employee.” Philip did not say anything. He continued making tea and brought it into the living room. Coincidentally, he overheard the relatives discussing Beacon. “Wynn, I heard that your company received an investment from Milanelson Angel Investment Group?” Bradford’s son, Kirk Green, asked with a smile while drinking tea
Martha’s wishful thinking was very meticulous. She would not force it if Wynn really did not like him, but the more investments the better. She refused to believe that someone would invest in Beacon for no good reason. The other party had to be up to something. It just so happened that Jacey returned at this time. She just came back from the company. Recently, the company’s business had declined and they were short of funds, so she was very busy. As soon as she entered the door, Jacey made a face, obviously unhappy. She threw her handbag on the sofa. Everyone could tell that Jacey was in a bad mood. At this time, Seth approached with a cheeky smile and said, “What’s the matter, Jacey? Are you still worried about the company?” As he said that, he served Jacey the tea that was prepared by Philip. It was very well-played. Jacey took a sip of the tea, then took out the gift she had prepared before handing it to Bradford She said, “Grandpa, I wish you many happy returns of
Had Philip gone mad? How could he say such words?! He could help them? What could a piece of useless trash like him do? Jacey and Seth also looked at Philip blankly before they sneered, “Philip, what right do you have to speak here? What do you mean you can help? What can a good-for-nothing like you do?” Jacey’s gaze was sullen. She was wishing that she could give Philip a big slap right now. This guy actually dared to speak out now? Was he showing off just because his wife was the chairman of a big company? “Hehe, his wife is in a big position and he thinks he can brag about it.” Seth mocked dispassionately. He stared at Wynn pointedly as if he could see through her clothes. Seth had coveted Wynn for a long time but had no chance to act on it. Now, when he imagined a woman like Wynn betraying her body for status, he was both angry and excited! Wynn was such a b*tch! Other relatives also looked at Philip mockingly. “That’s enough, Philip, this matter has nothi
Kirk could tell that Wynn was in a difficult position, so he suggested another alternative. “Wynn, if you really can’t help us, can you help us contact the person in charge of Milanelson Angel Investment Group? I think, with your connections, you can help us get an investment of ten million, right?” Kirk’s plan was very meticulous. Seth agreed excitedly. “Yes, Dad is right! Wynn must know the person in charge. Let alone ten million, even 100 million won’t be a problem! Right, Wynn?” Seth deliberately dug a pit for Wynn. Once she agreed, she would be humiliated if she could not get an investment of 100 million. Jacey also jumped in. “Wynn, our whole family is begging you for help. Just say the word if you’re willing to help us.” Wynn was in a pickle. On the other side, Kirk’s wife spoke to Martha. Martha could not withstand the pleas from the relatives. She pulled Wynn and said, “Wynnie, just help them out.” Having said that, Martha looked at Kirk and continued, “However
“What? You want to see me kneel down and apologize?” Seth deliberately raised his voice, looked at Philip amusedly, and poked him on the chest rudely with one finger. He said, “Philip, do you have a screw loose somewhere? How dare you say such words?” Philip grinned broadly. “Very soon.” Very soon? All the relatives were confused by Philip. They had no idea what he was talking about. “Philip, are you done humiliating yourself? It’s really my bad luck to have a son-in-law like you!” Martha got up, pointed at Philip, and began to swear unscrupulously, “Get lost, get lost at once!” Martha really hated Philip for embarrassing her. She was finally able to brag in front of her relatives, but Philip ruined it for her. She loathed him! Fortunately, the brat had signed the agreement. Otherwise, she would be at a loss. Following Martha’s scolding, the relatives also added their two cents’ worth. Seth chuckled and patted Philip on the shoulder as he said, “What did you mean
“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
