Martha shuddered and quickly replied, “No, nothing. I’m going to cook.” With that, she ran into the kitchen. Philip frowned but did not say anything. He sat in the living room fiddling with his phone. Martha hid in the kitchen, peeked at Philip furtively, and was relieved to see that he was not suspicious. She took out a small item from her pocket—a tiny earphone. This was something she had bought at the market in the morning. It was a listening device. She was in Philip and Wynn’s bedroom just now where she secretly installed the bug and was about to go downstairs to try it out when she unexpectedly ran into Philip. To keep herself busy for a while, Martha cooked chicken soup. When she was done, she wiped her hands and walked to the living room. “Philip, I’d like to ask you something.” Martha smiled and sat down. Philip nodded without raising his head and said, “What's the matter?” Martha hesitated for a long time before asking cautiously, “Last time, the old-fashi
“Have you found out who’s the boss behind the scenes?” Philip asked. Theo shook his head and said helplessly, “It’s very mysterious. We can’t find anything.” Philip frowned, sat for a few minutes, then got up before saying, “Okay, let’s wait and see.” He patted Theo on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, you’re my man. Whatever you want, I’ll get it for you.” Theo was very excited at his words and nodded respectfully. “Thank you, Mr. Clarke.” After that, Philip put his hands in his trouser pockets and left the directors' office. Back at First Palace. In the living room at this moment, Martha stood on the side with a flattering expression. In front of her, a woman with elegant grace was sitting on the sofa. Giada Wallis. She had turned up at the villa. Vivian stood behind her while the Wallis family’s bodyguards were at the door. Ten minutes ago, Giada came and frightened Martha until she was stuttering. “Madam… Wallis, do you have any instruction
Sister-in-law? Wynn was stunned as she stared at the woman dubiously. Why did she call her sister-in-law? Wynn glanced around before asking tentatively, “Are you talking to me?” The other party smiled gracefully and said, “My name is Hannah Clarke.” Hannah Clarke?! Wynn was dumbfounded! Her eyes widened as she stared at the woman in front of her in disbelief. The more she looked, the more she thought this woman before her looked similar to Philip. “You... Are you really Hannah Clarke?” Wynn’s breathing became rapid. Sher covered her small mouth and blinked her big eyes. She was very excited! Philip's younger sister was also her sister-in-law? Did Philip not say she was dead? In that case, why was she standing in front of her and talking to her now? Wynn could not understand this and her mind went blank for a moment. When she recovered, the other party had already sat down, ordered a cup of coffee, and was smiling faintly as she said, “You must have a lot of qu
That was obviously impossible. Giada had been keeping a close eye on him after all. Yvette frowned and thought for a moment before replying, “I can't help you with this but maybe someone else can. I'll go back and find out for you.” Philip did not hold much hope either. He learned from George that forces like the Hull Organization were based overseas and had a complex background. The two chatted for a bit more before going their separate ways. This was a chance meeting after all. At this moment, however, a pickup truck full of people suddenly stopped in front of them! Their intentions were hostile! Philip raised his eyebrows. Was this an after-dinner entertainment? It seemed like they were here to pick a fight. With that thought, he stood in front of Yvette. Looking at the familiar back in front of her, Yvette's eyes flashed with surprise. The images of the previous incident also surfaced in her mind. At the same time, the passenger door of the pickup truck was open
“Revenge? Of course, but there’s no hurry. He hurt my boys, so he definitely can’t escape, or else, I can’t live up to my name of Ollie from North Street.” The brawny man had this planned out very well. He noticed that this was a remote place with not many people around. The other party only consisted of one man and one woman, so he was not afraid at all! However, when the brawny man was about to make a move, his eyes saw Yvette who was standing behind Philip. He was instantly shocked to the heavens and felt that his eyes were blinded at that sight! Too damn gorgeous! She was the best-looking woman he had ever seen! Ollie was the boss of North Street with 40 or 50 men under him. He could be considered someone with a bit of status. However, even he had never seen a beautiful woman like Yvette, especially one with the kind of domineering temperament! “Boss, are we making a move?” the guy on crutches asked. Gulp! Ollie swallowed a mouthful of drool, his eyes gleaming as
Today, Ollie brought his men to seek justice for him. If they backed down at this time, he would be embarrassed! Moreover, he believed from the bottom of his heart that the gun in the opponent's hand was a fake! How could anyone pull out a real gun in this society? However, as soon as the guy's voice fell, a deafening gunshot exploded in his ears! He watched with his own two eyes as the man shot at him with his gun. In a split second, he wetted his pants! At his age, he had never heard the sound of a real gunshot, let alone the sound of bullets passing his ears. It was so terrifying! For a moment, the guy on crutches became weak in his legs and could no longer stand. He staggered and fell to the ground while peeing his pants at the same time! The guy slumped on the ground and only came back to his senses after a few seconds. He started to shout and wave his arms hysterically! Realizing that the weapon was real, Ollie could no longer stay calm and quickly shouted, “Run!”
Young master of the Hull Organization’s subsidiary. Philip raised his eyebrows and looked at the handsome man, already deep in thought. Yvette stood beside Philip and said to Flint coldly, “Flint, what are you doing? I told you a long time ago that it’s impossible between us.” Flint said angrily, “Is it because of him? Who is he? I’ll make him go bankrupt right this instant!” Yvette turned her head away and said, “You’re too arrogant! If you dare to touch him, I’ll never forgive you!” Hearing this, Flint’s eyes were filled with jealousy as his face became gloomier. He moved his gaze away from Yvette and stared at Philip with a faint smile, his eyes vindictive. Philip frowned slightly at Flint’s expression. He did not want to cause trouble, but he disliked it when others showed him this expression too! Flint sneered ironically, “Yvette, I’ve been pursuing you for so long but you don’t even let me hold your hand. Everyone is waiting to see me make a fool of myself but I s
When Philip heard Flint’s insulting words, his eyes turned cold again! He could feel Yvette’s body trembling slightly, and Philip could not bear it anymore. He hated people like Flint the most! “Let me kill him for you,” Philip whispered. He had not made any moves tonight. Yes, Philip wanted to kill him and not just teach him a lesson. To him, Yvette may be closer than an ordinary friend. He did not have to do so much for her, but looking at Yvette’s expression at the moment, he could not bear it any longer. She reminded him very much of himself in the past. Hearing Philip’s words, Yvette shuddered again. She knew that Philip was not joking. If his two subordinates were also there, then Flint would definitely not survive! “No, don’t!” Yvette grabbed Philip’s arm anxiously, trying to dissuade him. After having witnessed Philip's terrifying skills and unpredictable identity, she really believed that Philip's claim of killing was not a simple joke but the real thing.
“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
