Philip smiled faintly, got up, and turned his head to look at the other underground bosses. He asked, “Have you decided?” Those big bosses looked at each other a few times. Some were silent while some shook their heads helplessly. Trapped! There was no way out! They originally wanted to divide Riverdale up between themselves but did not expect to be swept away in the end! There was no way to fight back! How were they supposed to fight this? Even the trump cards were overturned. Following that, Theo’s people brought up copies of the documents and placed them in front of the bosses. These bosses, after a few glances, shook their heads helplessly before picking up the pens and signing their names on the documents! Doomed! Everything was gone! Although they were unwilling, their lives were more important! After signing their names, each leader looked furious. They then threw the pens heavily on the ground, breaking them. After that, they stepped forward in uniso
With loud cracking sounds, Wallace was pressed to the ground. His hands were broken, and he let out a hysterical scream! Big beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead. “Argh! Philip Clarke, you’ll die a horrible death! Miss Clarke won’t let go of you!” Wallace shouted miserably, his face pale. The heart-piercing pain in his arms made him breathless! Wallace Phoenix, a prominent figure in Phoenicia and the head phoenix of the four golden phoenixes, never expected that he would suffer such a catastrophe today! Philip glanced at him indifferently and motioned to his subordinates to continue. At this time... “Stop it!” A soft voice rang out at the front entrance of the ancient theater building! Philip and the others looked up, and at the front door, a beautiful figure stood quietly while emanating chills all over! Rachel Clarke, a woman with beautiful features and clear eyes, walked elegantly toward the crowd with her arms over her chest. She was wearing a black tren
This… This was too forceful! Did he not know of Miss Clarke’s background? Was he just blatantly disregarding her? If it was the latter, then this Mr. Clarke was simply too arrogant! Rachel twisted her eyebrows and stared at Philip. After a long time, she said calmly, “Your face seems familiar to me, but I can't recall. Have we met before?” “Miss Clarke, he’s that Mr. Clarke who snatched the jade and gold phoenix from the last auction!” Wallace was being supported by someone as he shouted. “Oh, it’s Mr. Clarke. I’ve heard of you.” Rachel nodded slightly, showing a very intrigued expression. However... Philip shook his head faintly and smiled slightly, “Miss Clarke, are you deliberately pretending not to know me? Could it be that you’ve forgotten about the time we were in the same changing room together?” It was a slap to her face! Philip had exposed the incident from back then. Rachel trembled on the spot. Frowning, she gritted her teeth and stared at Philip fi
“You! How dare you!” Rachel was about to explode! She never expected that Philip would dare to act like this! Had he not been living as an outcast in Riverdale for many years? Why was such a good-for-nothing suddenly so strong and fierce?! Rachel could not understand this! Although she knew that Philip's identity was not simple, such a guy could not suddenly become so powerful! Was this the reason why the lord was so concerned about Philip? Who the hell was this guy? Rachel had made investigations into Philip’s details a long time ago, but apart from the superficial stuff, she really could not find anything. The young master of the Clarke Group in Capital City, the boss behind the scenes of the Milanelson Angel Investment Group… ‘Wynn, oh Wynn, does your husband really own just these identities?’ In the hall! Wallace fell in a pool of blood, howling pathetically while his legs were covered in blood. These two gunshots completely destroyed Wallace's chance to
Philip said, “Wallace’s death was decided a long time ago. If you wish to protect him, I'm afraid you can’t. What I’m interested in now is, who is the lord you just mentioned?” Rachel immediately went on guard with a solemn expression on her face. This man felt so different now, his every action confusing. Moreover, he was being very forceful and not at an ordinary level! He seemed calm on the surface, but once his wrath was ignited, he was filled with violent wind and huge waves! Rachel had a bad premonition, and her pair of beautiful eyes lingered on Philip for a while. “Mr. Clarke, I’m afraid you’re not qualified to know this.” Rachel smiled as a trace of disdain flashed from the corner of her eyes. Then, she said, “Of course, if Mr. Clarke joins us and becomes one of us, you’ll naturally know the identity of the lord.” Suddenly! A raucous laugh came from the door! “Hahaha! Miss Clarke, this is unlike your usual style. Why? Are you scared of a kid who has not g
The audience was deadly silent! Everyone's eyes widened as they looked at Philip in the room. He was majestic like a mountain, had an aura like a mighty ocean, a frosty expression, and a scorching gaze. It made all the underground leaders suck in a deep breath! Hiss! Too brazen! Unbelievable! Philip actually dared to say that to Second Master Hull. He simply did not put the second master of the Hull Clan in his eyes! Did he know the person standing in front of him? It was Second Master Hull! He was an infamous figure! In the entire country, he was an unbeatable force! His status was comparable to the distinguished status of Miss Clarke’s! Moreover, he was the core member of the subsidiary of the Hull Organization! He was the second master of the Hull family and also the younger brother of the current patriarch of the Hull family! No matter what, Philip’s earlier insinuation about Second Master Hull dying was simply him courting his own death! Second Master H
A cold voice rang in the hall. “Shawn Hane, have you decided yet?” Philip looked at Shawn with his hands behind his back. He turned his head and stared at him with eyes full of biting chill. It was this look! Shawn sweated profusely at that look! It reminded him of that event eight years ago! For a moment, Shawn stood there blankly while the cold sweat on his forehead fell like torrential rain. Second Master Hull naturally saw the change in Shawn’s expression and immediately sneered at him, “Why, Master Hane, are you actually scared of this junior?” It took a long time for Shawn to squeeze out a smile and respectfully bend over to Philip, saying, “Young Master Clarke, what are your orders?” As early as a few minutes ago, Shawn had already decided. The sudden respectful stance by Shawn made everyone confused. At the same time, they had even more doubts about Philip's identity! This was unexpected. Even Shawn Hane was treating him respectfully! This Mr. Clarke
He wanted to move not only the Hull family but also the Hull Clan? Preposterous! Did he know what kind of existence Hull Clan was? A behemoth! The force of the stormy sea! With a wave of their hand, they could dispel the powers of the violent wind and huge waves! It should be noted that the position and power of the Hull Clan in the country and abroad was very strong, especially the several global listed companies controlled by Hull Clan. They had assets worth tens of billions! In other words, assets belonging to the Hull Clan were at the level of hundreds of billions! Moreover, it was a global influence! They were the ultimate affluent family! Even the subsidiary of the Hull Organization in the country alone was enough for many people to look up to. Not to mention the main Hull Organization abroad that was simply a godlike existence! However, now, this arrogant Philip actually said such brazen words! He wanted to move the Hull Clan? Ridiculous! Wishful th
Jamie was surprised by Philip’s easygoing reaction and immediately felt the gap between him and Philip. If Jamie were in Philip’s shoes, he would be worried, but Philip was confident instead. Jamie had a lot to learn from Philip. Jamie had no idea that Philip did not take Dennis seriously at all. Philip had too many capable people under his command. He was not concerned about Dennis at all. In comparison, Dennis could be considered the most useless person under him.… On the other hand, Rabbit arrived at the market. Rabbit was quite famous among the major families by now. As a non-human with a violent temper, he was in the center of attraction wherever he went. Someone tried to kidnap Rabbit once, but not only did he fail, but the person was also beaten badly. To this day, the kidnapper was still bedridden in the hospital. Rabbit’s notorious reputation had spread far and wide, and not just anyone could deal with him. At this time, many storytellers were at the tavern tal
People in seclusion would usually not receive any news from the outside world, so contacting them would be up to luck. Therefore, Lincoln's appearance was good news for the Hexa Guild. Now that the guild was under scrutiny, Lincoln's appearance would save them a lot of trouble. Lincoln stood on the spot, looking at the yard curiously. Philip had modified the yard, so it was full of energy. Any practitioner would feel the difference at once. Jamie and the others had discovered this fact but never asked out of courtesy. Everyone had their own secret. Maybe this was Philip’s secret. Lincoln closed his eyes and felt the abundant energy. He was reluctant to leave this place that contained tens of thousands of times more energy than the place he had chosen for his seclusion. Lincoln felt conflicted. He could practice much faster in this place if the energy level remained the same. Thinking of this, he could hardly contain his excitement to practice on the spot. Seeing Jamie nex
Lincoln had never met a monster beast with intelligence! After taking a closer look at Rabbit, Lincoln had other ideas. Philip was most likely a powerful person with extraordinary strength to have such a powerful monster beast as his pet. Dennis was not a fool. Philip had to be powerful and not a coward for Dennis to willingly follow him. Thinking of this, Lincoln showed Rabbit enough respect. “Mr. Rabbit, I’m looking for Dennis from the Hexa Guild.” The guild members behind him were full of disbelief at his courtesy. They had served him for a while and knew his character very well. Lincoln would never be so polite to ordinary juniors, so this rabbit had to be unusual. Thinking of this, their attitude toward Rabbit changed from disdain to admiration. Rabbit was shocked by their eccentric behavior and looked at them skeptically. Seeing their smiling faces, Rabbit decided not to make things difficult for them. Besides, they were polite. “Oh, you’re looking for Dennis. Come
This guild member could not forget how Hogster had always stolen his resources by force. Hogster’s ugly face made him sick. Although Lincoln was back, he had lost all confidence in the guild. He just wanted to return to Dennis' side as soon as possible. Although he was a member under the guild leader, Dennis was the one who had been helping him all along. In fact, if not for Dennis’ support over the years, even Alain would not have achieved what he had today. Hence, this guild member had always been grateful to Dennis. When Dennis left, he wanted to leave with him, but due to special circumstances, he stayed until now. Unexpectedly, it came in handy. Alain was excited to hear that. In Alain's opinion, such a lowly member would not dare to lie to him, so he had to be telling the truth. He knew that this was his chance to settle everything once and for all. Alain had been worried that Lincoln would blame him, but Lincoln was deceived instead, which was great. He had nothing t
Lincoln had a very good reputation, so the guild members dropped their guard and started to complain about everything. “Grandmaster, we've been having a hard time. Hogster always deducts our practice resources and gives them to the women he likes. It’s infuriating. We don’t even have that many resources to begin with,” a member said miserably. He had good talent, but Hogster did not give him any good resources, so his level remained stagnant. All his resources had been given to the women who had caught Hogster’s fancy. Lincoln scowled upon hearing this. How could Hogster take other people’s resources? He would not allow this to happen. “They also tried every means to arrange a political marriage with the Celestial Palace, but the agreement fell through, and they badmouthed the other party for it!” “They defamed the young lady of the guild, and now, they're furious at us. Their wrath is not a joke. Moreover, someone solved the side effects of their practice technique, but we'v
If Philip was at fault, Lincoln had nothing to say. However, if Hogster was the one who had caused all the trouble, he would not spare them. “I’ll get to the bottom of this. Now, tell me what’s going on with Dennis. Based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't betray the guild for no reason. He must have a reason for doing this!” Neither of them could explain what happened to Dennis. They could only say that humans were fickle. After all, they could not figure it out either. The person at fault would never admit their fault. Alain did not think that he was biased or thought that what he had done was excessive. He simply thought that Dennis looked down on him, which was why he decided to leave. Now that he was gone, Alain could say whatever he wanted, and Dennis could not defend himself. Thinking of this, Alain was very excited. He began to defame Dennis and shifted the attention away from him and his son. Lincoln scowled as he listened. Then, he returned to his room and summ
Alain was helpless. Although he had a lot to say, he could not do anything in front of Lincoln. Lincoln was stronger than him in every aspect, a force to be reckoned with. He was not someone Alain could deal with. Alain looked at Lincoln awkwardly. He wanted to appease his anger but did not know what to say. “You need to explain this to me. Why did Dennis leave? And I want to know why the guild’s reputation has become so bad. Did you do something wrong?”Lincoln heard that Dennis had been expelled and could no longer stay in the guild. Many people supported Dennis, so they were upset with Alain and tried to defame him. Hearing that, Alain knew that someone must have been talking behind his back, but he did not dare to lose his temper. He forced a smile and looked at Lincoln in a flattering manner. Before he could find an excuse, Hogster rushed over excitedly and said to his father, “Father, guess what I did to Philip? Hehe!” Hogster recounted his handiwork smugly without p
It had been years since the grandmaster went into seclusion for practice. He was not concerned about power. He once mentioned that he would not leave his seclusion unless he reached the top. Hence, no one expected to see him. “Grandmaster, you appeared at the right time. We would've been in trouble if you didn't come out!” “That’s right. Everyone is bullying us. Now that you’re out, you can help us.” Everyone complained about their grievances, feeling sorry for themselves. The Hexa Guild was in trouble, and they faced various problems too. All the major guilds were keeping a close eye on the Hexa Guild, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. The Celestial Palace planned to destroy the Hexa Guild instead of letting them off. They could not accept the initial setup, so they decided to erase the Hexa Guild from existence. Hence, the Hexa Guild had been under great pressure, with the members wishing that someone could help them. Unexpectedly, a strong expert appeared.
Ronan was his buddy, and his wife's reputation was at stake. Philip could not stand idly by. He had to help. Jamie was very fast at ordering his people to make the matter public. No one expected another dramatic turn of events. Everyone thought that the young lady of the Celestial Palace was an unchaste woman for making that decision. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Palace found a way to solve the side effects of their technique. All the major guilds were in trepidation. Although the Celestial Palace’s technique was very powerful, the side effects reduced its allure. Now that that problem was solved, everything was different. On top of that, the holy maiden and other members of the guild showed their appearance in public. Regardless of gender, everyone was beautiful without any markings on their faces. After seeing this scene, everyone knew that the Celestial Palace was about to make a comeback. Carlos was very excited and thought that Vanna was a lucky star to bring so many
