The call was connected. Everyone held their breath and listened carefully to Colin's conversation with their ears perked. “Brother, there’s something I need to report to you. Someone wants to take action against the Hull family in Orienta, and because of this incident, the Lowell family has broken all cooperation with us. They even annulled the marriage contract with Vinci, and Sven was almost killed by the other party. According to our investigations, the other party's background isn’t small. The Hull subsidiary may not be able to withstand it, so…” Colin said a lot in one breath. However, before he finished talking, a loud roar came from the other end of the line! Yeager was on his knees in the huge office at the moment, and Fennel was still sitting calmly on the sofa in front of him. He only glanced at Fennel furtively before yelling into the phone in a frenzy, “Colin, how dare you call me at this time?! If it weren’t for your son and daughter’s ‘good deeds’, how would y
Colin glanced at everyone before declaring, “Great! Since everyone agrees, the Hull subsidiary will stand together and fight till the end!” “Fight till the end!” “Fight till the end!” Starting from this day, the Hull subsidiary was under martial law and all members of the Hull family outside were urgently transferred back! Although all their businesses were not closed, they maintained a low-key operation. However, anyone could tell that the Hull family was preparing for battle. The outside world was surging with undercurrents. Many big families in Riverton also heard of this incident and deduced from the clues that someone was going to attack the Hull family. “Did you hear? The Lowell family broke all cooperation with the Hull family and even canceled the marriage contract!” At a party for the wealthy, many senior officials were gathered together and discussing in a low voice. “I also heard that since yesterday, the entire Hull family manor has been placed under mar
Just a few minutes ago, more than a dozen companies and families called to announce that they would be breaking off their cooperation with the Hull family! They were kicking them while they were down! If this continued, all the contracts with the Hull family would be terminated! Before the Hull family even started fighting against the other party, they would already be severely damaged. They would have to face bankruptcy and liquidation of assets! Too ruthless! Colin sat on the main chair with a gloomy face, his right hand tightly clasping the armrest before he smacked it in anger! He got up, his eyes looking as cold as ice. His body was full of murderous intent as he said angrily, “Damn that Seamus Lowell! He deliberately spread the news and wants to trample the Hull family under his feet! This must be under the instigation of that old fogey!” Colin was very angry. People would abandon the ship at the first sign of trouble. The Lowell family had declared their stance ver
“Have you heard? Is it the end of the road for the Hull family?” “Alas, who expected the former giant family to suddenly declare bankruptcy today?” “Who’s taking action against the Hull family with such domineering methods?” The entire Riverton, as long as they were a member of the upper class, discussed the Hull family’s affairs wherever they went. At the same time, in the largest hotel suite in Riverton. Philip stood in front of the French windows with his hands in his pockets, looking across the river that overlooked the entire city of Riverton. Sure enough, it was a fertile land with a bustling economy. It was surrounded by high-rise buildings. It had been a day since Philip arrived in Riverton. On this day, he had been taking Theo and the others to stroll around Riverton. Wherever he went, everything belonged to the Hull family. He was making preparations. Was it true that the huge Hull family of Riverton reached this stage entirely on their own? It should
Looking back at Colin’s side, he was entering the inner courtyard and came to Vinci’s bedroom. “Vinci, it’s Dad.” Colin knocked on the door. Soon, the door opened. Vinci's eyes were red, and she had obviously been crying. “Dad, what's going on? What did Seamus say? Are they still going to break the engagement?” Vinci was full of tears, looking very pitiful and aggrieved. Colin shook his head and said, “The Lowell family is going to fight us until the end. The man named Philip Clarke has a solid background. Because of him, the Lowell family has broken off all cooperation with the Hull family. Moreover, the Hull Chamber of Commerce has also been warned by the other party. We’ve decided to divide and rule separately.” Upon hearing this, Vinci's eyes widened in surprise! How could the situation develop into this? How long had it been? “Dad, what’s the situation? The Lowell family and the Hull Chamber of Commerce really want to completely break their cooperation with the
At this time. Colin entered the room, nodded slightly to everyone, then sat down to wait quietly. After a while, there was no sound in the room. Suddenly, someone said, “Colin Hull, are you unable to withstand the pressure and here to ask the lord for help?” “Hehe, a little Philip Clarke has actually made the Hull family so miserable. It really hurts the reputation of the eleven members of the Gentleman Court.” Following that, someone else mocked. Colin sat in the lowest position. He was the last of the eleven to join and his foundation was unstable. Compared to the other ten members, he was still far behind. Colin could only laugh drily. On this occasion, he really could not spout nonsense. Not long after... A woman with a graceful figure walked in while strutting. She was wearing a sexy dress and entered from the side door. Rachel Clarke. Her red lips slightly parted as she said to Colin Hull, “Come with me.” Colin got up hurriedly and respectfully followed th
The Lowell family’s manor. In the hall of the manor at this moment, all the people in charge of the Lowell family gathered. They were talking incessantly. On this day, Old Master Lowell had suddenly summoned all of the Lowell family members to the manor for a meeting. This was the first time in the past few years. In recent days, news about the Hull family and Lowell family had caused major upheaval in the outside world. All the persons in charge of the Lowell family had been very careful these two days and kept silent about these things. After all, it was an order from Old Master Lowell himself. Today, however, the old man had suddenly summoned everyone. Presumably, the matter must have come to fruition. “What do you think? Are we going to war with the Hull family?” “I don't know. The old master summoned us so suddenly. I'm afraid things are not that easy.” “Stop guessing. You’ll know everything when the old master comes out.” Many people were chatting in the hal
“Old Master, who’s trying to attack the Hull family? The outside world is spreading rumors that the Lowell family is plotting against the Hull family.” Some people still asked in puzzlement. Old Master Lowell got up with his hands on his back. His eyes were gleaming with brilliance as he said to everyone, “Just do what you need to do with ease. Don’t ask questions that shouldn’t be asked. When the matter is over, we can naturally get the results.” Everyone shut their mouths and no longer asked any other questions. At the same time in the hall, a team of heavily armed guards walked in and bent over before respectfully saying, “Old Master, everyone has assembled and is waiting for your orders!” When all the persons in charge of the Lowell family saw a team of heavily armed guards suddenly appearing in the hall, they were all dumbfounded and shocked! These were the few captains of the Lowell family’s guards in Riverton! Old Master Lowell was actually mobilizing them! They
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
