After confirming Philip’s intentions, the combat captain handed his weapons to the combatant next to him and handed the knife on his waist to Vince. “Do you know how to use it?” he asked. Vince was taken aback. Was the man in front of him a fool to give him a knife? He had seen the punch that he was attacked with just now. Although it was solid, it was not very powerful. Could this be his way of showing off in front of his master? In that case, he would just go along with it! Vince took the knife and stared coldly at the captain in front of him. All he could think of was how to subdue him and leave with the hostage. Seeing Vince constantly glancing in Philip’s direction, the captain already guessed something. “Don't think about it. Your dirty hand can't touch the young master,” the captain said coldly. Vince was taken aback. How did he know what he was thinking?! With a flash of anger, he took the knife in his hand and stabbed it directly! The captain did not even
Who were these people who just arrived? They were so powerful! Furthermore, why did they address Philip as ‘Young Master’? Were they special guards trained by Victor? How could that be possible?! Even Victor could not be equipped with such a fully armed combat squad! This was not possible, d*mn it! Even those big shots might not necessarily have such a team! Cold sweat almost soaked through Saul's clothes. Philip walked over and looked at the captain, sizing him up and down with interest. “Young Master, you…” The captain of the combat team felt a little queasy being stared at like that. “Well done, Mr. Sanjay West. Your skills are extraordinary, huh? Why didn’t you display such moves with me in the past? Tell me honestly, when you sparred with me back then, did you always go easy on me?” Philip chuckled as if he had seen through everything. Sanjay instantly stood at attention, his back ramrod straight. He said, “I wouldn’t dare! This… I have a reason for this.” “T
Why was the president of the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce here? Moreover, he was standing behind this old man in such a cowardly manner? Could this old man really be the president of the South River District Chamber of Commerce, George Thomas? George turned his head to the president of the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce and asked, “President Luther, what’s going on here?” President Luther’s face was pale, almost completely drained of blood. He lowered his head and said to George, “Mr. Thomas, it’s my negligence that the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce has produced parasites like Saul Seed. I’ll reflect on this!” After that, President Luther said to Saul, “Saul Seed, Victor and the others have searched your ship. You’ve been using your status as a member of the chamber of commerce to conduct such illegal activities! You’ve been removed from the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce and dismissed from your position!” Abandon the troops to save the general! At this time, he would
What kind of person was Zachary going up against? Combined with all that had happened yesterday, the more Zachary thought about it, the more afraid he became! This kind of strength was far beyond his comprehension! Philip looked at Zachary and coldly asked, “Young Master Seed, what's wrong? Are you cold?” Zachary tremblingly said, “W-Who are you?” Philip smiled and said, “In your words, I’m just a piece of trash.” “What?! This person actually said that about you?” Sanjay was furious when he heard that. How dare he say that about the young master? He was looking for death! Immediately, he took out his gun to kill Zachary but was stopped by Philip. What was the point of killing him? Zachary leaned back in fright and said, “Philip, you’re lying. How can a piece of trash like you have such power?” “I'm not lying. I’m just a scumbag who’s living off his wife’s family, but…” As he said that, the expression on Philip’s face changed. “Let me tell you something. I’m th
A wet patch stained Zachary’s crotch. He had lost control of his bladder due to fright and it was followed by a jolt of his body. Pfft! A mouthful of blood accompanied by some dark green bile spurted out of his mouth. He was so scared that his gallbladder had exploded on the spot! Immediately after, his body slumped back as he closed his eyes. He fell into a dead faint. The two security guards next to him knelt on the ground and shuddered. Philip looked at the two people on the ground with a kind smile and said, “Excuse me, who kicked me when I arrived just now?” One of them shuddered when he heard that. As a result, the other security guard immediately stood up and said, “Young Master Clarke, it was him! He was the one who kicked you!” “Leo, how dare you sell me out after so many years of brotherhood?!” The security guard on the ground gasped. Leo actually exposed him! The man named Leo immediately stood next to Philip and yelled, “What brotherhood? Who’s your brot
Wynn had an appearance that could launch a thousand ships. Combined with her tearful look now, it added a touch of radiance to her already beautiful face! Her loveliness was unparalleled! Meanwhile, Philip… Those people could feel resentment welling in their hearts! This was a prime example of beauty and the beast. The men were gnashing their teeth, but the result was an even more hateful scene. Not far away, a Mercedes-Benz quickly approached. After stopping, a beautiful woman stepped down. Bernice Owen! When Bernice heard from Hoyt that Philip almost got into an accident, she was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She hurried to the scene! It was useless for Hoyt to tell her that the matter had been resolved. She had to see with her own eyes that Philip was okay! “Young Master, are you alright?” Bernice asked with red eyes as she quickly ran over, almost breaking her high heels. The people around were dumbfounded. Compared to Wynn, Bernice’s features were no
Philip quickly pushed Bernice away. To prevent Bernice from talking nonsense again, Philip glared at her before explaining to Wynn, “Wynnie, this is Bernice Owen, my ex-boss from the last company. She recently moved to Uppercreek.” Bernice was taken aback. Did Young Master Clarke say that she was his boss? When did the two of them switch roles? Then, Philip introduced her to Bernice, “Bernice, this is Wynn Johnston, my wife.” Only then did Bernice realize that this was Mrs. Clarke. She had really made a fool of herself just now. Thus, she quickly said with a smile, “Oh, so you’re Miss Wynn Johnston. I’ve heard a lot about you. It’s nice to finally meet you!” While saying that, she extended her hand to Wynn, wanting to shake hands to express her goodwill. However, Wynn did not take Bernice’s hand, so Bernice had to withdraw it awkwardly. Wynn looked at Philip in exasperation and said, “Do you think I'm stupid? I just heard her address you as some young master! So, what e
Thinking of this, Philip slapped his mouth. He already had Wynn. How could he think of other women?! Philip sighed. Anyway, now that he could not go back, he had to find a place to have fun and calm himself down. Moreover, he had experienced too many events lately and really should relax. At this time, Victor called Philip, saying that he had some friends who wanted to meet him. They could also play cards and have some drinks. Philip agreed immediately. Since he did not know what to do anyway, now that someone wanted to play cards with him, he could not ask for more! Philip was also familiar with the venue. It was Victor’s underground entertainment club. It did not take long for Philip to arrive. As soon as he heard that Philip had arrived, Victor and his friends greeted him at the door. After welcoming Philip, Victor quickly dragged Philip into his underground casino. Seeing Victor’s flustered look, Philip asked, “Hey, what’s wrong with you?” Victor smiled and said,
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
