Roger smiled and said, “Let’s wait for him to return before we discuss this matter. You should do your duty in taking care of the cooperation between the main and branch family. Don’t be too concerned about other things. I’ve my own arrangements.” It was a warning in disguise. Of course, Giada could discern the meaning. He was telling her not to dip her fingers in too many pies. Her handling the cooperation with the branch family was more than enough. However, how could Giada be content with that? Her ambition was not just the cooperation between the main and branch families. She wanted everything from the Clarke family and the power of the entire Arcadia Island! She wanted to complete the magnificent conquest that the Wallis family had not achieved for many years! Therefore, upon hearing this, Giada’s eyebrows furrowed. She raised her eyes to look at Roger and said, “You’re still wary of me.” Roger acquiesced, took a sip of the tea in his hand, and said, “Once the taste
Tim shook his head and chuckled. “That brat must be fooling around somewhere. Let’s not bother about him and drink to our brotherhood today.” Roger smiled in concurrence. The convoy, as well as Tim’s men, quickly left Cirrus Villa. The brewing storm dissipated in peace. A few days later, the annual underground chamber of commerce finally began! Early in the morning, Theo took Anna, Tiger, and his men to wait at the gates of First Palace. Six black Mercedes were parked at the entrance, as well as Theo’s Maybach in the middle. Such a scene would definitely shock the outside world if they found out about it! The big shot of Riverdale, Theo Zander, actually brought his men personally to wait respectfully at the gates. Who on earth could warrant such treatment? It was after about ten minutes before Philip walked out of the villa with Mila in his arms. As Wynn was still in the hospital for recuperation and Anne was taking care of her, he had to take care of the child. See
Even a big shot like Theo had to open the door to greet him? Wayne was not stupid. He instantly noticed something. There were rumors that people of the South River District would join hands to topple Theo this time. Now, it seemed that Theo had invited someone formidable with him. It would be another tough battle. Philip sat in the car with a sleeping Mila in his arms. After a while, he gently carried her and got out of the car. Anna also quickly got out of the car, standing beside Philip respectfully while helping him carry Mila’s daily necessities. This scene was even more bizarre in the eyes of Wayne and the other Kingsley family members. They brought a child? What was going on here? Wayne was in a daze. Behind him, the juniors of the Kingsley family started talking in low voices. “Is this the person that Theo Zander found? This must be the first time anyone brought a kid to attend the underground chamber of commerce.” “I don’t understand it. Maybe he’s already
Everyone turned in the direction of that voice and saw a group with dozens of people walking in from the door. The leader was a bald man with sunglasses. He was smoking a cigar and wearing a mink coat. His neck and hands were full of gold accessories and several jade rings. His attitude was arrogant! The pompadour was grand! There were also two hot and sexy women next to him with his arms around them. They looked very enticing with long legs and big chests. Behind them followed a bunch of tattooed and swaggering punks, all of them looking murderous. Cecil Dane! The third major force of the South River District! Everyone called him Master Cecil! He founded the Cecily Group that now had assets of more than one billion! As soon as Cecil appeared and stood in the lobby, the awe-inspiring atmosphere shocked everyone in the hall. What a domineering appearance! “Damn! It’s Master Cecil! He came here too!” “The underground chamber of commerce this time is going to b
Seeing that both sides were about to come to blows, Wayne Kingsley, who had been watching on the sidelines all this while, quickly stepped forward and said with a grin, “My honored guests, please calm down. Since you’re already in Phoenicia, what’s there to argue about? The underground chamber of commerce will be held two days later. If there is any animosity, you can fight it out during the event. Now, let’s make peace.” Cecil and Theo glared at Wayne at the same time, snorting. Wayne was also sweating profusely. It was not easy to be a peacemaker. A little carelessness would either offend this side, or that side, and maybe even both sides. Seeing that both parties had calmed down, Wayne quickly signaled to the lobby manager and said, “Why don’t you take Master Cecil to check-in and rest?” The lobby manager immediately came running and said flatteringly, “Master Cecil, please come this way.” Cecil glanced at Theo coldly. As he walked past Philip, he directly threatened him
Jay Drago?! Hearing this, Cecil trembled as beads of cold sweat started dripping from his forehead. The Brotherhood Fraternity belonging to Jay had been annihilated, and the news of this incident quickly spread in the South River District. However, the news was also suppressed quickly enough. Jay’s group was not ordinary. He was one of the five dragons of the South River District! However, because of his destruction, the South River District fell into the hands of the remaining four. Now, they were known as the four major overlords. Nonetheless, regarding the fact that Jay was annihilated, the remaining overlords were also very dazed. They had no idea who killed the man who had been active in the area for more than ten years. Moreover, according to reliable sources, everything took less than a day! All of Jay's turf, including his people, were either seized or arrested. The most terrifying thing that happened was the Anderson family, the largest family in the South Ri
He was not a person who liked to fight or kill. Everything would be fine if no one provoked him. However, Philip could not tolerate Cecil Dane. This was a very dangerous guy. He would not allow such a person to exist around him. Theo quickly replied, “Yes. Cecil made his fortune by roaming the streets back in the days. He committed many crimes and spent many years of time inside. Coincidentally, he encountered the division of power in the South River District, and with the help of his men, they pitted against his boss. They used violence to occupy the turfs and rely on killing to usurp the positions. They’ve robbed a lot of resources in the process. After that, he founded the Cecily Group and diverged into the real estate business. With more than one billion in assets, he has many men and is currently ranked third in the South River District.” Theo recounted Cecil’s information in detail. Philip listened attentively, stroking his chin as he asked, “Who was the boss he under
Philip was playing with Mila in the room and had no idea that he was being targeted by Cecil. Theo and Anna were also in the room, discussing the underground chamber of commerce that was to take place two days later. “Mr. Clarke, a total of 14 underground forces will be participating in the event this time. Four are from the South River District, three from Capital City, and six from Golden City. Among them, the strongest contenders are the Hane family of Capital City, the Fiery Koi Gang of Golden City, and the combined forces of the four overlords in the South River District.” Theo carefully detailed the information, his expression a little serious. After all, the Hane family and Fiery Koi alone were enough to wipe the tables clean! Such forces were not something Theo Zander from little Riverdale could easily provoke. Therefore, Theo was very worried about the underground chamber of commerce. Philip teased Mila and asked with a smile, “Is that all?” Philip could hardly b
“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
