Melody rolled her eyes mischievously and said as she pushed Philip out, “I don’t, but he does.” Philip was startled and even a little dumbfounded. Suddenly, he felt hostile gazes on him. They were mixed with suspicion, disdain, contempt, and sarcasm. “Hehe, this guy? He just looks like an ordinary person, so stop teasing us. If he really has ten billion, why is he queuing up with us? He could just go through the green entrance over there.” The woman from before, with heavy makeup on her face, placed her arms over her chest while saying in a mocking tone. She then pointed to a group of distinguished guests who were being welcomed in by the service staff on the other side. The meaning was quite obvious. If he had the money, why would he line up here? Melody was upset and wanted to explain but was stopped by Philip. “Sorry, my sister is not right in the head. Don’t mind us. We’re just normal folks.” Philip explained with a smile. The crowd turned their heads disdainful
“Yes, my name is Al and my last name is Gator. I’m not a very successful businessman, but I own a jewelry shop with an annual income of more than ten million.” Al fell in love with Melody at first sight and was very proud when he reported his self-worth. Melody directly flung the business card to Philip, threw her arms around his neck lovingly, and said coquettishly, “He wants to invite me for dinner. Hubby, aren’t you going to say something?” Philip had just been sitting there comfortably, but after turning his head, he met Melody’s winking eyes. What was this lass up to now? When Al saw this scene, he felt that someone had dug a knife into his chest. He suddenly exploded with anger! Why?! Why did beautiful women always go to ugly men?! F*ck! What the heck was wrong with this world? If anyone knew Al’s inner thoughts at this moment, they would be surprised. From whichever angle, Philip could be considered a handsome young man. On the other hand, Al Gator looked
Al was upset. He actually got scared by the other party. As soon as he was about to scold him, two security guards approached them and asked, “What’s going on here?” Al immediately said, “This kid is causing trouble. You should kick him out!” The two security guards glanced at Philip unkindly. They also saw Melody who was sitting quietly next to him while eating snacks. They said, “Sir, please sit down. The auction will begin soon.” After that, the security continued to say to Al, “Sir, please find a place to sit.” Al was so mad now. He wanted to say something but he held back in the end! After all, he dared not cause a scene in Phoenix Pavilion’s territory. Mr. Phoenix was a ruthless person. Once, someone bullied others and made trouble in Phoenix Pavilion. They disappeared from Phoenicia the next day. A few days later, the body of that person was found floating in Phoenix Lake. One after another, tourists filled up the outer hall. Philip did not want to cause more t
Al immediately stood up, pointed at Philip, and complained. “He made the first move! Look at this! It’s his shoe print! He dares to beat people in Phoenix Pavilion. He’s too bold and simply doesn’t take the rules here into consideration! You must seek justice for me!” At Al’s righteous words, the two security guards immediately turned their heads to look at Philip sternly. “Did you make the first move?” Philip did not deny it, nodded, and said, “I did.” At this moment, Al immediately rejoiced and exclaimed ecstatically, “See, he admitted it! Arrest him quickly and wait for Mr. Phoenix to make his decision!” Hahaha! Al was overjoyed. Everything was not in vain. His little trick worked on Philip. Sure enough, tourists from other places were unaware of the rules here. Philip only had himself to blame! The two security guards did not bother to say anything else. They stepped forward to grab Philip and said, “Please come out with us.” Philip’s expression was cold. With
The woman next to him was the same. She clutched Al’s arm fearfully and retorted, “Aren’t you here to teach these two a lesson? Why are you so fierce to us instead?” Smack! One of the security guards slapped the woman's face and warned. “Presumptuous! Miss Zander is a distinguished guest. How dare you threaten to teach her a lesson!” A… distinguished guest? Suddenly, Al Gator, the woman, and the people around were all dumbfounded! The meaning was too obvious. In other words, Melody should be sitting in the main hall instead! Everyone sitting in the main hall was either a big boss or a member of a wealthy family with a worth of hundreds of millions! They were actually VIPs! Ba-thump! Before the two security guards could say anything, Al already knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. “Miss… Miss Zander, please forgive me. I know my mistake. I shouldn’t look down upon others. I deserve to die!” Smack, smack, smack! Al bit the bullet and slapped himself at the sa
Theo immediately replied respectfully, “Mr. Clarke, I’m arranging manpower right now. I’ll ask someone to go and have a look.” “Okay.” Philip nodded and hung up the phone. At the same time in the auction, an endless stream of important characters entered the main hall. “Holy sh*t! Look! That seems to be Ken Cooke of Ceylon Society, the largest force in the South River District! Master Cooke!” With the shouts from someone in the outer hall, the crowd's eyes gathered at the entrance of the main hall in an instant. Sure enough. A group of eight bodyguards in black suits entered the main hall imposingly. They were guarding a man who appeared to be about 40 to 50 years old. Ken Cooke! He was the largest force in South River District and the president of Ceylon Society! For decades, no one dared to rock his position! He had nearly 100 turfs under his hand and 400 to 500 men at his disposal. Although he started as a rookie on the streets back then, Ken Cooke had trans
Ken pondered inwardly and appeared cautious. Yana smiled, approached Ken’s side, leaned close to him, and whispered in his ear. Then, she looked at Ken with a smile and said, “I hope you’ll consider it. This is also an opportunity for you.” After that, Yana gave a slight bow before walking forward. Ken frowned and looked serious. He looked at Yana who was seated in the front row and found it difficult to make a decision. This woman was really not that simple. More and more VIPs entered the venue. In the center of the main venue, the emcee stood on the podium and shouted with excitement, “A warm welcome to all the distinguished guests at Phoenix Pavilion today and also to all the visitors from all over the country, hello!” All of a sudden, the audience was ecstatic. “Next, let’s welcome the boss of Phoenix Pavilion,” the emcee shouted. At the same time at the entrance of the main hall, four men in suits entered. The four golden phoenixes! The four brothers of th
Rachel Clarke! Wynn’s best friend who returned from abroad! How could she be here as a mysterious guest of Phoenix Pavilion?! Who could she be?! At this moment, Philip’s mind flew in different directions, and his emotions were extremely complicated. It seemed that he had overlooked something important. Melody was also taken aback by Philip’s sudden reaction. She glanced at the woman who was greeting everyone in the main hall and deliberately said with jealousy, “Philip, is she really that beautiful? Why are you so excited? Sit down quickly. Everyone is watching you.” Philip came back to his senses and saw everyone around casting strange glances at him. After sitting down again, Philip crossed his arms over his chest and stared at Rachel Clarke in the main hall. This woman was really the focus of the audience, sitting directly in the first row with the four Phoenix brothers, Ken Cooke, and Yana Young. However, it was obvious that Rachel's seat was in the middle—the spo
“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
