The head of the Gold family in Uppercreek, Jameson Gold! The people who knew Jameson all looked astonished at this moment. Who would have expected that the head of the Gold family would personally come to deal with such a small matter?! It seemed that the incident today was going to be big news. “Patriarch.” Hubert immediately walked to Jameson's side with a respectful expression on his face and spoke to him in a low voice. Clifford was like a drowning man clutching at a straw. He ran behind his father in a hurry and said, “Dad, you’re finally here.” Jameson nodded. Leading the eight private bodyguards, he stood there and exuded his presence. The people around inadvertently took a few steps back. Jameson first looked at Seamus, then at Philip. He said with a smile that did not reach his eyes, “Young Master Clarke, let’s just forget about this matter. My son will apologize to you. How about it?” Overbearing! Forceful! Knowing that he was facing Seamus and Young M
The arrogance! The reason why Jameson was so arrogant was because of the boss standing behind him. When he was done speaking... Behind the crowd, a few big shots who remained and were nonchalantly drinking tea started discussing in a low voice. “That Jameson Gold is really audacious. If not for the Larson family of Fernvale standing behind him, I’d have taken care of that guy a long time ago.” “The Larson family of Fernvale, huh? Although they’ve withdrawn from the domestic market, they still have power. What’s more, the head of the Larson family is here tonight.” “Seamus Lowell and that Young Master Clarke have met their match tonight.” The few big bosses glanced at each other, eyes filled with anticipation as they watched the drama unfold. Each had an agenda of their own. Philip raised his brows, thought for a while, and said, “No.” Instantly, Jameson’s face turned cold. Staring at Philip, he said, “Young Master Clarke, I respect you but I do not fear you. I advis
Hearing that, everyone shuddered. They had witnessed the arrogance from Jameson, but who would have thought that Philip was even more arrogant! Hitting someone in public! He was completely disregarding the Larson family of Fernvale. How dare he speak like this? Could it be that Young Master Clarke's origin was more terrifying than theirs? That was everyone’s question. However, Seamus just sneered in his heart. The arrogant Gold family was completely ignorant of Philip’s identity and dared to act so boldly. Only the worst results awaited them. “Young Master Clarke, I have to say that you’re very brazen. However, you may not be aware of the power and methods of the Larson family. I’d advise you not to step out of line. Do everything within your means and you can go far.” Jameson was holding his right eye, his face full of chills. He glanced at Philip and felt nothing but resentment! Was this Young Master Clarke really not afraid of the Larson family? “What if I sa
Did he think the capital market was child’s play? Many people who knew the Gold family and the Larson family shook their heads one after another. “Alas, Young Master Clarke is taking it too far this time. Although his method of destroying the Hull family is unforgettable, we’re talking about Uppercreek after all. Furthermore, the Larson family is involved. It’s not going to be easy.” “No doubt about it. Uppercreek is going to be a tough nut to crack, made even tougher now that the Larson family is in the picture.” “The Gold family is very influential in Uppercreek and well-connected with the other families. Making a move against the Gold family means breaking the Upperglade Chamber of Commerce Alliance!” Among them, some ignorant wealthy second-generations in other regions, including some foreign guests, shrugged their shoulders to express their lack of understanding. They asked, “What is the Upperglade Chamber of Commerce Alliance?” Immediately, someone chuckled and said,
Jameson was confused by that question. How would he know who he called? “Hehe, Young Master Clarke, stop pretending. It’s not so easy to bring down the Gold family in Uppercreek! To tell you the truth, there’s no need for the Larson family to take action at all. Just the Upperglade Chamber of Commerce Alliance in Uppercreek is enough to stop you in your tracks!” Jameson sneered, his face full of disdain. Philip laughed, took out his mobile phone, and said, “The person I called just now is Hoyt Luther, the chairman of the Upperglade Chamber of Commerce Alliance!” Hoyt Luther?! When everyone heard that, they were shocked and amazed! “It turned out to be Hoyt Luther, the chairman of the Upperglade Chamber of Commerce Alliance. He was the main person in charge!” “How is this possible? He can actually reach Hoyt Luther!” Not only were the onlookers shocked, but Jameson was also completely dumbfounded at this moment. He was suspicious and nervous at the same time. He quic
Was it just because of one request from him? Even the Upperglade Chamber of Commerce Alliance had to follow his orders? Terrifying! On the other side of the phone, Hoyt sneered and said, “Jameson, you refuse to accept it? Do you f*cking know who founded the Upperglade Chamber of Commerce Alliance?” Hoyt almost roared his words. Jameson trembled in fright and asked weakly, “Who?” “It’s the Young Master Clarke who’s standing in front of you right now!” Hoyt guessed that Philip must be standing with Jameson now, so he shouted directly into the phone! F*cking idiot! This was his comeuppance! Over here, Jameson was petrified on the spot. His eyes were full of disbelief and panic! The Upperglade Chamber of Commerce Alliance was actually founded by Young Master Clarke?! How could that be? Jameson was completely stunned! At this moment, Jameson’s cell phone rang. After he answered it tremblingly, he heard an anxious voice on the other end of the phone. “Patriarch, som
“Jameson Gold, why are you calling me?” The voice on the other end of the phone was slightly low but sounded very oppressive. “Patriarch Larson, the Gold family is facing bankruptcy and it’s caused by a junior!” Jameson looked flustered and nervous at the moment. “What? Didn’t you mention the Larson family of Fernvale?” “I did, but they’re not taking the Larson family seriously,” Jameson said again. There was a stunned silence on the other end of the phone, and immediately, with a wave of anger, he shouted, “Who is so bold and dares to disregard the Larson family of Fernvale?!” Jameson immediately replied, “It’s a guy by the name of Philip Clarke.” Click! The phone was hung up immediately. Before Jameson could say any further, he stared at the phone with dazed eyes. He continued, “Hello, Patriarch Larson?” What happened? The call got interrupted? Was the signal bad? At this moment, Jameson was like a cat on a hot tin roof. He was very anxious. He called back
Here, after Philip left the front hall, Seamus caught up to him not long after he went out and respectfully said, “Young Master Clarke, things with the Hull family are almost settled. The old master told me to check with you how to deal with this thing.” With that said, Seamus took out a small brocade box and handed it to Philip. Philip glanced at Seamus, took the small brocade box, and opened it. It was a piece of green jade, obviously a broken fragment due to the sharp corners and edges. “What is this?” Philip asked in puzzlement. Seamus hurriedly turned the jade over and gestured. “Young Master Clarke, look at this.” Philip looked at it, and there was a word engraved on the back of the jade. Although it was not complete, it was vaguely recognizable, forming the word ‘Larson’. “Is this the only piece you could find?” Philip asked. Seamus nodded and said, “We found this in Colin’s room when cleaning out the Hull family’s mansion. The old master told me to hand this to
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
