Crack! The bottle shattered! The woman directly smashed the wine bottle in her hand on the ground and got up. Her face was flushed with anger as she yelled, “Assemble! Stop and kill all intruders!” With her order, the entire Stinger organization took action! In an instant, all members of the organization gathered in this hall! At the same time, a few figures appeared at the doorway. Philip walked at a leisurely pace and appeared in everyone’s sight. He was followed by Rick, Theo, and the others. At this moment, Theo and the others were already stained with blood. The woman on the throne saw the people who came and sat down again before saying coldly, “There are only a few of you and you still dare to break into my territory. You’re very brave!” At this moment, Philip looked like he was strutting with his hands in his trouser pockets. He glanced around a few times, then asked, “How long?” Rick took a glance and said, “Ten minutes.” “Okay,” Philip said, turned aroun
Philip was silent for a moment before he replied, “Sure. Pick me up when the time comes.” With Philip's affirmation, Theo beamed with joy and sent Philip away respectfully. Others might not know Philip’s identity and status, but Theo was aware. He had money and connections! This time, Theo planned to take down the entire South River District in one fell swoop! Very soon, Theo left to make preparations. Philip returned to the villa. Wynn had already returned and was playing with Mila. Seeing Philip, Wynn got up, motioned to Anne to bring Mila upstairs, and asked, “My mom told me that you beat her up?” Philip already expected that Martha would complain to Wynn, so he did not hide it and nodded, admitting it. “I did.” Wynn frowned. As soon as she returned, Martha had pulled her aside while crying and sobbing. She denounced Philip for torturing her. “What did she do this time?” Wynn knew Philip’s temper. If it was not the last straw, Philip would not do something like
Philip quickly ran to the small garden before he returned the call. Very soon, the call connected. It was a hearty male voice accompanied by sounds of other voices. He seemed to be at a party. “Philip, please hold on.” After that, the man on the other line seemed to gradually move away from the crowded area to a quiet place. “What did you find out?” Philip was anxious. He finally heard from Fennel after so long, and he had been in Fernvale recently. He must be investigating the task he had given him. “I found it,” the man on the line spoke with a hoarse voice, obviously different from the frivolous persona just now. “The reason why the Larson family of Fernvale withdrew from the mainland is inseparable from the Wallis family. The person behind the scenes should be Giada Wallis.” Giada? Philip frowned. He had long guessed that this was the case. “However, I found something else.” On the other end, Fennel said solemnly, “There seems to be someone else behind Gia
“Excuse me, but we’re busy.” Wynn smiled apologetically, not wanting to argue with someone like Muriel. During college, Wynn already knew that Muriel was a snobby and selfish person. “Hehe, why? Did I touch on a sore spot?” Muriel crossed her arms over her chest with a disdainful look, glanced at Philip, and sneered, “Wynn, I don’t want to talk bad about you, but you’re the campus belle after all. How could you actually marry him? Just look at him. Your man looks exactly like a loafer.” “Watch your words. He’s my husband!” Wynn said angrily, her face grim. However, instead of listening, Muriel sneered even louder and grabbed the little clothes in Wynn's hand. She said, “Hey, these are branded goods. Can you afford them? Are children born to parents with income disparity like you worthy of branded names?” Worthy? Of course not! In Muriel’s eyes, Wynn belonged to the lower echelons of society. Since two years ago, she had long heard about Philip’s trashiness. It was j
Philip chastised Muriel relentlessly! Muriel just stared at Philip blankly. She never expected this guy to have such a way with words! “Do you think you can do as you please just because you have foreign citizenship? You can insult people? Who gave you the right?” Philip yelled loudly. Muriel dared not rebuke. This was because the crowd around them had started talking about this, even criticizing Muriel! “Yes! A few days ago, there was news that several foreigners did not abide by the traffic regulations. They only received verbal warnings, but our locals were fined!” “Why are they treated differently? We should be equal!” “This b*tch really thinks that she’s so great! She’s just a foreign-idolizing turncoat!” In the crowd, the discussion completely exploded. Muriel had aroused public outrage. “You! What do country bumpkins like you know? Foreigners are better than you. They’re more cultured than any of you!” Muriel retorted doggedly as she pointed at everyone. As
The two lost their mood for shopping, so they decided to return to the villa. As soon as they returned, Wynn took advantage of the time when Philip was playing with Mila to run back to the bedroom. She took out the USB flash drive on the bedside table. After thinking about it, she went to the study, switched on the computer, and inserted the flash drive. It was a video. Wynn clicked on it apprehensively. It was also at this time that Philip suddenly came in while carrying the antenatal medicine. He said with a smile, “What are you busy with? It’s time for your medication.” Wynn forced out a smile and quickly switched to a different tab. “Nothing much, just looking at some numbers.” Philip glanced at her screen. He noticed the USB flash drive but did not say anything. After Wynn had taken the medicine, Philip showed no signs of leaving the room. The atmosphere in the room became a bit awkward. At this time, cries from Mila sounded downstairs, accompanied by Martha’s
Martha was in an absolute panic now. Philip seemed like he was being very serious. He dared to demand money from her! “Wynnie, Wynnie, just look at him. What the hell is Philip trying to do? Is he really going to take it that far?” Martha pulled on Wynn as she wailed and sobbed. This trick had been used repeatedly. However... Today, Martha had played the wrong cards. With Mila in her arms, Wynn turned around, glared at Martha, and said coldly, “Mom, I’ve had enough of you. Don’t look for my help today. I won’t speak on your behalf anymore.” With that said, Wynn took Mila and sat in the corner, watching the scene. Right now, Martha was truly abandoned by her family. She sat on the ground and started kicking up a big fuss. “Philip Clarke, I’m your mother-in-law, after all. Are you really going to kick me out? Are you still human? “You’ve been in the Johnston family for so many years, eating our food and living in our house. Am I not kind enough to you? I just beat
Philip explained no further.Here, several security guards received the order and rushed into the bedroom immediately. They quickly moved out all the belongings of Martha and Charles. At the door, the truck from the relocation company had also arrived. In less than 20 minutes, everything belonging to Martha and Charles was emptied from the villa. Martha and Charles stood at the gates of the villa. The latter sighed with emotion and shook his head helplessly. Martha was reluctant. She stared at the villa with tears in her eyes and sobbed. “Charles, talk to Philip. I don’t want to move away from here.” However, Charles paid her no heed, shook his head, and said, “Let’s go. What else do you want? He’s already kicked us out. It’s all because of you!” Martha finally got to live in a villa after much difficulty. She refused to leave so easily. She wiped her tears, hardened her resolve, and ran in front of Philip. She bent her knees and knelt with a thud! She knelt! Martha Ya
“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
The Hexa Guild also claimed that they would kill anyone from the Celestial Palace. Although upset, no one dared to say anything in the face of the other party’s strength. It would be embarrassing if they could not live up to their claims if they retorted now. Moreover, the battle was a matter of life and death. Everyone was risking their lives. The Celestial Palace had the confidence to face the Hexa Guild now. They believed that they could turn the situation around with their strength or at least show them what they could do. There would be a battle between the two parties in the afternoon, which was the best time to show off their strength. The young lady of the Celestial Palace would be the one contending. After improving her strength, Vanna was full of confidence and vowed to give her opponent a fatal blow or at least let them know how powerful she was. Ronan was nervous. He was not worried about his wife but worried that the Hexa Guild would take things too far. Those
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
