Ronnie stood at the door of the inner hall, looked at Holt’s resentful back view, and clenched his fist before slowly releasing it. “Do you want revenge?” Suddenly, there was a voice from behind him. Ronnie turned around and saw Philip, who had entered earlier, standing behind him. He was leaning against the wall, smoking a cigarette. “Young Master Clarke,” Ronnie quickly turned around and shouted respectfully. Philip waved his hand and said, “Don’t call me Young Master Clarke. Just call me Philip.” Ronnie was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Philip to be so approachable, but he still smiled and said, “I’ll call you Brother Philip then.” Philip glanced at Ronnie, not caring about such titles, and said, “It works.” Ronnie answered Philip’s previous question, “I want to take revenge, but I want Holt to turn over a new leaf even more.” Philip frowned, stared at Ronnie, and asked, “Why? Don’t you think he treats you bad enough? Not only did he humiliate you, but he
“You don’t even know who Philip Clarke is? Here are the photos I took just now. They’re not very clear, but you can still see some details.” Someone took out their phone and showed the photo. It was taken from a very far angle. Sure enough, it was taken by a man who did not know much. The focus was extremely blurry. “Your photo is too abstract, isn't it? Who was on the scene just now? Can you tell us what the situation right now is?” Many people were very anxious at the moment. They did not even know that such a big thing had happened. While everyone was talking about Philip, he was sitting at a guest table somewhere. Lydia Jensen was sitting next to him, observing him secretly. This guy was really arrogant and outrageous just now. This was the attitude the guy she liked should have! Until now, Lydia's heart was still throbbing. Philip glanced at the time, thinking about going back to accompany Wynn and Mila as soon as possible. Lydia whispered with a look of admira
Several other friends of Gil also started taunting. “Young Master Dean, is this the scumbag you mentioned last time in Blossoms Park who scammed other people?” “Damn! This young man is really capable!” “He looks like an idiot at first glance. Why don’t we just throw him out?” Faced with these people’s sarcastic remarks and ridicule, Philip’s face grew colder and colder. He stared at Gil and said solemnly, “Get out of the way!” “No! If you want to leave, do it between my legs!” Gil spread his legs and pointed downward, giving Philip a provocative look. “Hey! What are you doing?!” Lydia could not stand it anymore. She got up and shouted at Gil and the others. Gil turned his head. He had never seen this girl before. She looked very lively. “What does it have to do with you? Do you know this scumbag?” Yolanda crossed her arms and stared at Lydia in dissatisfaction as she asked. She was not a fool and naturally noticed that Gil was distracted by this girl. Lydia wa
When Gil said this, he was really arrogant! He acted as if this place belonged to him! To say such arrogant words so easily, it clearly showed how domineering Gil was in his daily life. Lydia was also taken aback for a moment. She looked at him as if he was an idiot and asked, “What did you say? You want to destroy my family?” This was the best joke Lydia had heard in a long time. Was this guy’s head kicked by a donkey? Standing behind Lydia, Philip shook his head helplessly. Did Gil not know Lydia of the Jensen family? Seeing that Philip dared to shake his head, Yolanda immediately pointed at him angrily and shouted, “Why are you shaking your head? Are you looking down on Young Master Dean? Let me tell you, Young Master Dean’s father is a member of the National Martial Arts Association! He’s a kickboxing champion! “All the people here today are prominent figures in the martial arts world! What right does a wastrel have to act so arrogantly here? “Also, do you think y
Lydia snorted coldly, stretched out her jade-like finger, and pointed at Philip behind her. She said to Gil, “It's useless to apologize to me. Apologize to Brother Philip!” This… Gil frowned. He was very unwilling. Apologize to a scamming wimp? Where the hell was he going to put his dignity after this? Seeing Gil standing motionless there, Lydia threatened, “You don’t want to? I’ll tell my great-grandfather then. He’s just inside.” Lydia pointed to the private room in the center. Hearing this, Gil shuddered in fright and immediately apologized to Philip by bending over respectfully. He said, “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I hope you forgive me.” The sudden reversal made everyone confused. Philip’s eyes were indifferent as he looked at Gil who was bent over. After a moment of silence, his eyes fell on Yolanda and the others. Yolanda was not stupid either. Seeing that Gil had lowered his posture, she naturally bent over and apologized as well. “Philip, I’m sorry. On a
It was them! Philip’s eyes were burning as he stared closely at the group of people who entered the inner hall. The old man was in the lead, leaning on the gilded walking cane. He greeted Jacob and they chatted quietly. It was pretty obvious that Jacob respected the old man who was about his age. Jacob Jensen was one of the champions of the national martial arts, the director of the National Martial Arts Association, the director of the World Martial Arts Association, and held many other honors. To be respected by someone like him, that person must have a great background! Everyone in the inner hall stood up at this moment. They had no choice. Even Jacob and people of that level had all stood up to welcome them, so they could not remain sitting. Here, Philip stared at the group of people with cold eyes and furrowed brows. Perhaps it was his sixth sense, but the man with the mask next to the old man suddenly turned his head. His gaze directly met Philip’s. In that in
Sure enough! Amid everyone's suspicions and discussions, Jacob trotted to Philip's side. He bowed respectfully and said, “Young Master Clarke, why don’t you head to our table? I’ll introduce someone to you.” Young Master Clarke? The people in the entire inner hall were all shocked at this moment! It turned out that there was an amazing character hidden among the guest seats! He must be the first person Old Master Jensen extended such a respectful invitation to! “F*ck! Young Master Clarke? He must be the person who clashed with the Lopez family just now!” At this point, someone shouted loudly upon recognizing Philip. “What? Is he the one who spoke on behalf of the martial arts world?” “Wow, it’s awesome. No wonder he’s so arrogant. Even Mr. Jensen treats him so respectfully. This is true strength!” Many people started to exclaim and discuss. However, Gil, Yolanda, and the others looked incredulous and nervous. Although they had no idea what had happened, they kne
The old man on the opposite side sat in a prim and proper manner. He narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Philip, and said to Jacob, “Old Jensen, aren’t you going to introduce this new friend to us?” Jacob responded, got up, and introduced him to everyone, “This is… Philip Clarke. As for which family he belongs to, it’s not convenient for me to disclose.” Jacob originally wanted to tell the truth about Philip’s identity, but he quickly caught the slightest change in Philip’s eyes and immediately changed his words. Not convenient? The people at the table were all figures with the right to speak in the national martial arts circles. Jacob was one of the leading figures while the other six were not in attendance. Hearing Jacob’s words, some people began to express their dissatisfaction and said coldly, “Old Jensen, your introduction is too secretive. At this table, is there anything that cannot be revealed?” “That’s right, Old Jensen, we’re not the average people sitting out
Everyone was surprised by the appearance of a talking rabbit, and it was very expressive too. Someone who did not know the situation would think that it was a human! On the way here, they heard some rumors about this rabbit having an amazing storage space. It sounded spectacular, but no one believed it. After all, even people of their status could not get a storage space. How could a mere rabbit own such a legendary treasure? Hence, everyone was surprised to see Rabbit for themselves. “Sir, is that the mysterious and powerful rabbit that was rumored outside? Why don’t we catch it and see if we can find something about it? Even if there’s nothing special about that rabbit, it’s fun to keep a talking rabbit around!” a lapdog said excitedly, clearly very curious about this talking rabbit. “You’re right. Who can refuse a talking rabbit? It’s fun to keep it as entertainment. If I use it to pick up women, I believe more women will fall in love with me!” Hogster was very excited and
Although Carlos was not that concerned about appearance, he was not fond of the idea of Vanna being together with an ugly man either. He wanted Vanna to find bliss too. Hogster was angry at Celeste’s provocation and shocked that someone would turn him down. He had to say that some secular women were ignorant and blind. In his opinion, she ignored him simply because she did not know how powerful he was. Only the women in the guild were smart enough to please him. “Carlos, since I’m here, let’s have a good chat. I plan to take Vanna away!” Hogster looked at Carlos with confidence. Although Carlos was someone he couldn't afford to offend, Hogster had his pride too. As the heir to his guild, his status was noble. Carlos sneered at his arrogance. Hogster expected to take Vanna away with just one remark. He really thought highly of himself. Carlos’ mission was to protect Vanna. He was not concerned about anything else. “Do you think just anyone can take the young heiress of Cel
Ronan frowned when someone kicked the door open. Carlos and his men woke up from their drunken stupor as well and looked around solemnly. In general, practitioners would not get drunk after drinking, but they had not used their energy to neutralize the alcohol earlier. Now that something was happening, they could not remain intoxicated. Everyone stood on guard, wondering what happened. They saw a man kicking the door open. After the man kicked the door open, he appeared in front of everyone smugly. Everyone felt disgusted to see his smug look and was surprised by his ugly appearance. Philip frowned at this person. He was sure that he did not know this guy, but seeing his smug look, he should be the ugly Hogster that everyone was talking about. Carlos had mentioned earlier that Hogster's ugly appearance was so distinct that anyone could recognize him at a glance. He had a very short figure and a ridiculous proportion, like a dwarf with no legs! Philip recognized him at a gla
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you crying?” Hogster picked up the kid angrily. Hogster was never a patient man, so he was even more annoyed by the kid’s defiance. He wanted to teach the kid a lesson for messing with him. “Stop crying. I want to ask you something. If you answer me properly, I’ll leave you alone.” Hogster smacked the kid, leaving him in a daze. The kid had never encountered such a situation before and simply sobbed. “Have you heard anything about an ugly woman? She was supposed to be the bride of the Cohen family, but the marriage was canceled at the last minute.” Hogster glared at the sobbing child in exasperation but he had to ask his questions patiently. After all, the kid looked the easiest to bully among everyone around. The child stopped crying and nodded after hearing him. “Someone took the ugly woman away. They're staying in the small house over there!” He was afraid that Hogster would hit him again, so he blurted everything he knew. The kid always hun
If the Celestial Palace could help them groom some people or lend them some experts, they might stand a chance in the competition. Seeing that time was running out, Hogster could not wait to solve the problem. Things would become difficult if he failed to marry Vanna. Hogster searched for Vanna’s whereabouts with his men. He was very anxious and wanted to find Vanna immediately. “Didn’t you say that the woman is here? Why is there no sign of her?” Hogster smacked his subordinate’s head in anger. The subordinate who got hit was shocked by his sudden attack, but at the thought of Hogster’s temper, he had no choice but to put up with it. As a pampered young heir, it was normal for Hogster to have a bad temper. His subordinates could do nothing but wallow in silence. “As far as we know, she’s nearby, but no one knows her exact location. These people don’t have a permanent residence, so finding her is more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack,” his men said nervously. T
Vanna was relieved. “That’s great. I’m surprised that my father is so sensible about this. If he dares to send someone to deal with you, I’ll make sure he doesn’t have an easy time either!” Vanna said in a huff. Vanna was angry at the thought of her father’s stubborn streak. “By the way, Hogster may cause trouble for you. I can see that your boss is very powerful. At worst, you can ask your boss to help you out. Not just anyone can take care of this.” Carlos knew how strong Ronan was, but he would be facing a guild. He did not think Ronan could win the fight. Fighting the guild would be the worst option. He hoped that Ronan could think about it carefully without being too conceited. “I think your boss is powerful enough to handle it easily. It’ll be difficult for you to deal with it single-handedly. “Hogster and his guild are very vindictive. You’ll be in trouble if he finds out that you stole his prey. Although the Celestial Palace can help you in certain areas, you'll hav
“Here, let’s eat and drink to our hearts' content. Don’t bother with formalities. Just treat this as your own home!” Ronan enthusiastically poured wine for the guards, who were flattered by his gesture. They knew that Vanna had settled down with this man. He could be considered their boss too, so no one dared to accept the wine he poured personally. Ronan laughed at their reaction and knew that his plan had worked.…. While they marveled at the wine, the guild that had previously asked for Vanna’s hand in marriage received the news. This guild was strong enough to enter into a political marriage with the Celestial Palace, but it was no better than the Celestial Palace. They just wanted to use this opportunity to join forces with the Celestial Palace to become stronger. Unexpectedly, Vanna rejected the marriage and ran away without showing up at all. “Damn it, that woman will turn 20 soon. What will happen if she doesn’t restore her appearance in time? I don't want to marry a
Carlos was so fast that he was back before Ronan knew it. Ronan was nervous when he saw Carlos standing at the door again. “We need to wait for the guild leader to decide what to do. For now, I’m here to protect Vanna. I may need to stay here for the time being. I hope you don't mind.” Carlos was very polite and did not annoy anyone. Hearing that, Philip nodded and made arrangements for the guards to stay. With two vacant rooms left, they had to squeeze a bit. The other party did not make things difficult for them, which meant there was room for negotiation, so they could relax a little. Although Ronan was very nervous, Philip thought they had a chance. “Let’s have a good meal tonight.” Ronan looked at the people squeezed into two rooms, his mouth twitching. Celeste and Darius had taken on the task of cooking, and their food was to die for. “Sure!” Carlos agreed without hesitation, hoping that Ronan would serve more of that wine because he did not have his fill at the g
As Carlos drank the wine decisively, the guild leader looked at him expectantly. If not for his dignity, he would have tasted the wine already. Carlos took a sip of wine and closed his eyes to savor it in delight. “In my opinion, I don’t think you should take the wine. Just let me take care of it for you!” Carlos could not help teasing him. Carlos and the guild leader were more like brothers, so their interaction was not that formal. The guild leader smiled helplessly, picked up the glass, and drank the wine in one gulp. “This wine…” He was suddenly at a loss for how to describe the beauty of the wine. It felt as if this wine was only fit for heaven, too good for this world. The two took one sip after another until the guild leader wanted to keep the wine away. “Sir, don't be so stingy. There’s still a little bit of wine left. Let's just finish it!” Not just anyone could take this wine. Even a strong practitioner would feel close to bursting after drinking so much. “Get
