Faye pointed at Philip in disbelief and said, “Lydia, are you crazy? This is your boyfriend?” Immediately after, she glanced at Philip for a few moments before laughing. Lydia was too funny. How could this person be her boyfriend? Even if she had found someone to pose as one, she should at least find one with better qualifications. This one was no better than a beggar on the streets. Everyone’s strange looks also fell on Philip in an instant. The handsome man with the crew cut also got up and looked at Philip. He asked with raised brows, “Lydia, where did you find this fake boyfriend? Doesn’t he look too shabby?” Lydia was a little unhappy and said coldly to the guy, “Cody Uber, what my boyfriend looks like has nothing to do with you!” Cody chuckled, shook his head helplessly, and glanced at Philip. He waved his hand and warned, “Friend, if you know what’s good for you, you should leave quickly. This is not the place for someone like you, and we’re not people you can ho
After Philip finished speaking, the whole room fell deadly silent! Everyone looked at the man sitting in front of Andrew in disbelief. Too arrogant! Who did he think he was? He actually wanted to pay five million for Andrew to get lost? This guy must be a lunatic. “What?” Andrew was a little lost. He never expected a country bumpkin like Philip to say such a thing! Five million for him to get lost?! The corners of Andrew’s mouth tugged upward in a sneer with hideous coldness. Faye immediately shook her head and sneered mockingly, “Oh my, another poser. I thought he’s just a jerk but I didn’t expect him to be a braggart too! Hey, do you know who you’re talking to? He’s the third young master of the Yarrow family, the top ten biggest families in national martial arts! Andrew’s personal assets have reached hundreds of millions! Are you trying to use wealth to compare to him? You’re too oblivious!” What a moron! Was he putting on an act because Lydia was here? “Ha
Andrew’s punch suddenly stopped half an arm away from Philip's cheek and could not advance another inch! Except for Lydia, everyone else could not believe that Philip actually blocked Andrew’s punch! Andrew shouted angrily, “How dare you fight back?! You must be tired of living!” With that said, his whole body was full of murderous intent as he threw another punch at Philip! “You’re too slow. It turns out there’s nothing more to the Yarrow family.” Philip shook his head as he threw a punch toward Andrew’s incoming fist! Bang! Crack! The sound of bones breaking! Argh! A miserable howl came from the private room of the coffee shop. Andrew’s fist immediately twisted out of shape. He stepped back again and again as big beads of sweat rolled off his forehead! Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw this scene! This… It was simply inconceivable! Faye’s words were stuck in her throat as she stared at Philip fixedly. Her heart was already overwhelmed and full of tu
Hearing Philip's question, the expression on Andrew's face became mocking and menacing. “Hehe, why? Are you afraid now? To tell you the truth, it's too late! Fighting me means you’re going against the entire Yarrow family! Only one result awaits you, and that’s to end up a cripple!” Andrew sneered wickedly, his eyes full of chills. The way he saw it, the guy in front of him had just learned a few skillful moves. However, going against the Yarrow family was nothing but seeking death! Over there, Cody, who had fallen to the ground, also shouted angrily, “Young Master Andrew, you must break his limbs! Finish him off! F*ck! My legs!” Cody supported himself up from the ground and sat at the side. His leg was broken! After coming back to their senses, Faye and the others also pointed at Philip agitatedly while shouting, “You piece of rubbish! How dare you do this to Andrew and Cody?! You’re dead!” “Lydia Jensen, is this the boyfriend you found? He’s dead!” “Andrew, kill h
Right then, a housekeeper rushed into the meeting room and whispered into Norbert’s ear, “Second Old Master, Young Master Andrew was beaten in the coffee shop. The other party even bragged about it. Jacob Jensen’s great-granddaughter was present as well.” Bam! Norbert exploded in anger, slapped a palm on the table, and roared, “Insolence! Turning a blind eye to the Yarrow family? What's the meaning of this?! Did Jacob arrange this on purpose? Is he trying to provoke the Yarrow family?” Everyone was puzzled and started discussing. Then, the core figures of the Yarrow family got angry and roared, “I think the old guy Jacob deliberately arranged for someone to test the Yarrow family’s limits!” “We can't just let this go. We must demand an explanation!” Norbert clenched his fist, waved his hand, and said, “Let’s go! I want to see who dares to attack the descendants of the Yarrow family! That person is looking for death!” Looking back to Philip's side, he was sitting on the so
“Impudence! You don’t even know Norbert Yarrow of the Yarrow family and you dare to hurt his descendants? Kneel and beg for mercy right now!” A middle-aged man behind Norbert glared at Philip and scolded him. “What an arrogant guy! He still dares to remain sitting in front of the second old master of the Yarrow family! He’s courting death!” Another person yelled. Seeing a group of people yelling at Philip, Andrew stood aside coldly! This Philip could just go to hell! Messing with him meant going up against the entire Yarrow family! Philip was dead for sure! However, even when facing the angry reprimands from these people, Philip remained calm. Then, as everyone watched with astonishment, Philip got up and walked to Norbert with a calm smile on his mouth. He said, “Norbert Yarrow, although I don't know you, I can tell you that the Yarrow family is almost done for.” “Impertinent! Norbert roared like a tolling bell and shook the whole private room! His eyes were ic
Young Master Clarke? He was that same Young Master Clarke who caused the commotion at Dragon Gate?! Instantly, Norbert understood! He had run into a brick wall today! The other party was actually that Young Master Clarke! The confrontation with the seven Fusha Majors that happened at Splendor Hotel in the morning was still vivid in Norbert’s mind! It was because of Philip that the six hidden Aces suddenly resurfaced! Such prestige and dominance! The whole national martial arts circle was talking about this matter! All the martial arts families and forces around the world were discussing this very topic! Unexpectedly, the mysterious Young Master Clarke who was the one behind the shocking commotion was actually right in front of him at this moment! Andrew was also stunned! At this moment, his breathing turned rapid as he looked at the nonchalant Philip with deeply knitted brows. Hateful! Of all people, why was he that Young Master Clarke?! Faye and the other
Philip nodded silently without commenting. “By the way, Young Master Clarke, during my absence, I’d like to ask you to take care of Lydia for me,” Jacob said with a slight bow. Philip quickly grabbed Jacob and asked, “How many days do you plan to be away?” Jacob said in a light-hearted manner, “Four to five days, perhaps. For this trip, I don’t intend to return alive. If something happens to me, I hope you can give your full support to the Jensen family.” Philip frowned and said, “Is it such a serious matter?” Jacob said, “Young Master Clarke, you know too little about the national martial arts circle. I’m already old. I just hope I can use what’s left of my life to suppress these national martial arts families and seek a decade of stability for this industry.” “I’ll ask Mobius and the others to go with you,” Philip said urgently. He could see that Jacob was already prepared to die out on the field. “It won’t be necessary.” Jacob shook his head and said, “Aces are not all
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
“I won’t be joining your guild, but I don’t mind being a spectator. At least I can watch the fun. I know that you’re quite strong, so you don’t need me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I don’t think you’ll face a problem.” Philip smiled indifferently, quite confident that nothing much would happen. The overall strength of the Celestial Palace had improved significantly, so they really had nothing to worry about. Jamie was relieved to hear that. In that case, he could rest assured.… The guild competition officially kicked off, and everyone was ready to battle it out. The battles were not something that simply required strength to resolve. Occasionally, the competitors required tactics too. As Alain was feeling anxious, his reinforcement finally arrived at the scene. The hooded man turned up with some potions, ready to carry out his task. “Hey, you’re finally here. I thought I wouldn’t see you again.” Alain was worried. He knew that he was in a precarious situati
“Father, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!” Hogster sat by Alain’s bedside and asked in a panic. Hogster would not have been worried about Alain in the past, but things were different now. They were facing various crises. Without his father to take care of things, they would be doomed. Alain coughed violently and fumbled around for some healing pills before stuffing them into his mouth. The pills were not useful for his injuries but could at least relieve his pain. After Alain took the pills, Hogster hugged him excitedly. “This is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.” Alain almost died in anger over his son’s remark. “Hogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. You’ll make a name for yourself if you do this.” Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, “Father, although I’m quite strong, you can’t do this to me! How am I suppose
The rabbit had a very expressive face as if it was watching Alain make a fool of himself. “You’re quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, let’s hear them.” Hay dangled from Rabbit's mouth, and he seemed disdainful. Alain seemed conflicted at the sight of Rabbit and felt like he was looking at Philip instead. “Why are you here?” This rabbit was weird, and no one could control it. As far as Alain knew, the rabbit was famous in major cities and good at picking fights. “Of course, I’m here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?” After saying this, Rabbit jumped up and kicked Alain, who started spitting mouthfuls of blood. Alain was strong in his own right, so there was no way he would be helpless against an attack. However, he simply could not resist Rabbit and could only suffer a beating. The guild members in the surroundings closed their eyes, feeling sorry for their guild leader. No one thought they could win th
It seemed that Alain had overestimated his importance. “Hey, wait a minute. Don't be so hasty. I just want to think about how to make things better. You should know that things are not as simple as you think. If I agree so easily, others might target me.” The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alain’s flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. “I thought you wouldn’t consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.” The hooded man smiled calmly as if mocking Alain from the bottom of his heart. Although Alain was being ridiculed, he could not say a word. The hooded man held the reins, so Alain had no choice but to obey. “I don’t mind this cooperation, but we need to plan this thoroughly. If you can help my guild to make a comeback in this competition, I can agree to your condition. Since you found me, you should know the trouble my guild is facing right now. Philip and his people are messing with us, and the Celestial Palace is keepi
Alain was a smart man and quickly grasped the key point. It seemed that this man was here to help him. “Tell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If you’re here to help me, let’s have an open discussion.” Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. “I know that your guild is facing a crisis. I can help you with that. I can get rid of all your problems and also ensure that your guild scores victory. Although I can't guarantee that you’ll win the championship, taking one of the top spots won’t be a problem.” The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this man’s offer to help him. At a moment of crisis, it was every man for himself. Right now, no one was willing to help him or lend a helping hand. Alain thought that this was too much of a coincidence. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?” Alain knew that
