This jerk turned out to be Anson’s distinguished guest? How could that be? It must be known that everyone present tonight had to be polite in front of Manager Goode. With Anson’s distinguished identity, how did he get to know a bum in shabby clothes like Philip? He tried to defend himself. “I didn't know that this gentleman was invited by you. If I knew, how would I possibly dare to do this?” Anson remained unmoved. Instead, he smiled apologetically to Philip and said, “Sorry, I’m late. “I didn't expect my subordinates to be so ignorant and cause such trouble.” With that said, Anson was full of anger. What kind of person was Philip Clarke? Manager Goode’s distinguished guest! He was the person with the highest status tonight! He was the owner of Bird of Paradise Villa! Even Sam Cohen had given specific instructions that he must invite Mr. Clarke upstairs for a private meeting. These people had chastised Philip so much and even tried to kick him out of the banq
He looked at Gil reproachfully. “Is Mr. Clarke someone you can humiliate casually?” “I’ll talk to your father about this matter myself.” After he finished speaking, he ignored Gil's pale face, turned his head to Philip, and whispered in his ear, “Mr. Clarke, Mr. Cohen and a few friends are waiting for you upstairs.” “Sure.” Philip nodded, glanced at Gil Dean lightly, then smiled before turning away. Supervisor Sandler could not take it anymore. He slumped to the ground, his face pale. Gil lowered his head and gritted his teeth with his fists clenched. That final look from Philip seemed to be ridiculing him, turning into a sharp sword and piercing his self-esteem fiercely. “That son of a b*tch!” After the two walked away, Gil finally exploded. He took the wine glass from the nearby table and smashed it on the ground. “How does he know Anson Goode? This is impossible!” The moment Yolanda had seen Anson, her expression could not help but change slightly as she excl
The two took a seat, and Anson accompanied him next to him. After a round of toast, Sam immediately broached the topic and said, “Mr. Clarke, this time, Soaring Real Estate Group has decided to set up a real estate company in Riverdale to expand our business there. When the time comes, we hope you can extend some help, Mr. Clarke.” If they could get some help from Philip, or rather, an investment, then the ten-year plan of Soaring Real Estate Group in Riverdale would face no problems at all! By itself, the Soaring Real Estate Group of Sam Cohen had a certain influence. In Uppercreek, it was one of the three giants in the real estate industry. However, Riverdale was different; its waters ran deep. Moreover, Philip was different, and the background he came from was different. Through Hoyt Luther, Sam already knew and understood this point deeply. He and Hoyt had been friends in private for many years, and naturally, they knew the true identity of Philip Clarke! When he wa
Philip’s eyes were cold as he shook his hand directly, brushing away Yolanda's arm. Smack! Philip responded in kind, slapping Yolanda’s face angrily while saying, “Yolanda Lee, that’s enough! You keep challenging my patience time and again! If not for the sake of our acquaintance, I’d have dealt with you a long time ago!” Every person had a limit. Philip Clarke was no exception! He had always kept a low profile and did not wish to cause any trouble most of the time, especially now that he was looking for his sister Hannah Clarke. He did not want news of his actions to be spread or to cause a sensation as it would only lead him to be noticed by people with ulterior motives. That was why he had been deliberately restraining his temper. However, Yolanda’s actions had crossed the limit! Yolanda was stunned, clutching her pretty face while staring at Philip in disbelief. “You... How dare you hit me?!” Yolanda’s eyes widened, and the anger in her heart surged. Why had she
“Hehe.” Gil sneered, taking a tissue from the side to cover his mouth and nose. His eyes were stern as he said, “What, a bankrupt young master like you wants to make a move against me?” Ludicrous! A useless and bankrupt young master dared to challenge him? He was simply courting death! The corners of Philip's mouth were slightly raised as a sneer appeared. He said, “You’ll find out.” Then, he raised his fist and threw it at Gil again. Gil’s eyes widened in fright and he quickly raised his hand to cover his face. He acted very arrogantly most of the time, but when it came to a fight, he was a weak chicken. “Stop! Who dares to touch Young Master Dean?!” At this time from the direction of the stairs, a group of men in security uniforms rushed in. All of them were big and burly men, each holding an anti-riot baton in their hand. The guy in the lead was the chief coach of the Dean family’s security guards, Sunny Howe, also known as Howie on the streets! Everyone in t
Mr. Clarke? Yolanda was also in a daze, her mind wandering. Philip… Why was he being addressed to as Mr. Clarke? Wait a minute! Gil’s heart trembled suddenly! This person was the chairman of Soaring Real Estate Group, Sam Cohen! Now, at this moment, Sam was here and he addressed that piece of trash as Mr. Clarke! Seeing Juan and Yolanda looking at him suspiciously, Philip's heart trembled. Oh no, if his identity was exposed in Uppercreek, the people keeping an eye on him in the dark would definitely investigate his purpose for coming here. At that time, it might cause unnecessary trouble or even cause harm to his sister! Philip must conceal it temporarily. Therefore, he stared at Sam coldly, and Sam stammered in fright with just one look. Sam was taken aback but understood quickly. Hoyt Luther had once explained to him that Mr. Clarke's identity must be kept secret. This was also the reason why he wanted to receive Philip in the private room upstairs, so Sam
However, at this moment, Gil had already been consumed by anger. He just wanted to teach Philip, this ignorant trash, a good lesson! Thus, he shouted arrogantly, “What are you afraid of? Are there things I can’t do in Uppercreek? So what if he’s Sam Cohen? This is Uppercreek, the land of the young. One Sam Cohen will be trampled under my shoes sooner or later!” Audacious! Outrageous! At this moment, Gil Dean had brought into full play the flippant temperament of a rich second-generation young master. On the opposite, Sam’s face was as dark as night. No one had ever dared to talk to him like this! “Rascal, what are you talking about? This is an outrage!” Suddenly, a gruff shout came from behind Gil’s group. Soon after, the group of people brought by Gil made a pathway automatically! It was a burly middle-aged man with an angular face. His pair of thick eyebrows were raised, and his face was full of anger. Wearing a gray suit, he came up and kicked Gil directly on his
Gil flew into a rage, jumped up, and pointed at Philip, saying angrily, “You want me to apologize to this scheming piece of waste? I refuse!” Smack! Gus slapped him mercilessly and asked with a cold face, “Why don’t you ask my hand if it agrees?” Thud! Gil directly fell on his knees! “Sorry, Philip, please forgive my recklessness!” Gil almost gritted his teeth and forced out each word. He was very upset and unwilling! Why should he apologize? Why was he being made to apologize to a useless person who was nothing? “Mr. Clarke, my son already knows his mistake. May I ask if you’re satisfied?” Gus asked with a grin. Philip’s face was calm, and the anger in his eyes had cooled down. He glanced at Gil, who was kneeling on the ground, and did not plan to pursue it anymore. After all, there were too many people around. Thus, Philip said, “Forget it.” Then, he stepped forward and left directly in front of Gil, Yolanda, and the others. Sam followed Philip and per
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
