However, Philip was close to pissing his pants, so he hurried to the washroom without taking a closer look. When he came out, the door of the private room was already closed. Philip returned to the VIP room. Victor and his friends had long been waiting impatiently. When Philip arrived, they quickly dealt the cards and started playing. After a few rounds, Philip was lucky and won some money. In the beginning, the 100,000 dollars worth of chips in front of Philip had been given by Victor. After a while, the chips in front of Philip began to gradually increase. Later, Philip returned Victor’s chips to the bar, leaving 230,000 dollars worth of chips still in his hands. “Mr. Clarke, you have luck on your side today. I’m afraid we might lose our pants if we continue playing with you,” Victor joked. In fact, Philip’s good luck today was only one factor. It was mainly because the rest were signaling at each other to make Philip happy. That was why Philip could win so much in just a
Philip pinched the cigarette between his fingertips and said after taking a puff, “Come on. We’re just hanging around anyway. Let’s go and watch some excitement.” Since Philip had said so, the others could not refute and went along with him. This was Victor’s turf. Even if something happened, he could handle it. They came to the private room not far away. The door had been opened by the staff. Inside, a fat guy with a big head who looked like a rich businessman was sitting on the sofa while holding a woman on his lap. He was tearing the woman’s clothes with a bodyguard while a blonde foreigner at the gambling table watched with relish. The woman was full of anger and resistance, but she could not get away even if she put up a struggle. At this time, Philip was certain that the woman was none other than Yolanda Lee! “Stop!” Philip bellowed and dropped the cigarette. He rushed into the room and pushed the fat businessman away. The man fell to the ground on his butt. Philip
After listening, Philip looked back at Yolanda. Her head was lowered and she did not say anything.The fat man said angrily, “Master Bell, although this is your territory, there are rules on the streets too. This is something we’ve agreed upon. You have no right to interfere in this matter, right? If you insist, I'm afraid people will be unhappy!” The fat man said triumphantly. He was a member of the Harrison family! Who would dare to disrespect him? “This…” Victor was in a tough spot. Firstly, Randolph did have a point. Secondly, Victor was not in a position to provoke the Harrison family. For a short while, Victor was between a rock and a hard place. “Master Bell, since everything is clear now, please leave the room. Don’t stop us from playing cards!” As Randolph said that, he walked to Yolanda and said with a wicked smile, “Come on, beautiful, stop thinking about it. No one will help you. Come back here and let us continue!” He made a grabbing motion as he said th
Philip said flatly, “Have you laughed enough? Can you just say if this suggestion will work?” Randolph choked from laughter. A female attendant next to him came over and patted his chest. Randolph smiled and said, “Yes, if you’re capable, you can win back what she lost to me. If you can do that, I’ll let this b*tch go. But, if you lose, what do I get? Don't say I’m looking down on you. With your looks, I don’t think I can even get 50,000 if I sell you off.” Philip scratched his head. “Yes, I have no money… In that case, I’ll bet on one of my hands.” “Mr. Clarke!” “You can’t do this, Mr. Clarke!” “I have money! You can take it! You can’t place such a bet!” Victor and the others said anxiously. The most important thing in the casino was the rules. As long as the two parties made a bet, the terms must be met. It was just like what had happened to Yolanda today. Since she had agreed with Randolph in advance that she would undress if she lost, even Victor Bell could not say
When Victor and the others saw the foreigner folding, they quietly breathed a sigh of relief. They were really holding their breaths for Philip earlier. Yolanda’s face also relaxed a little. Philip smiled and said, “Didn’t you say you could beat me if you drew a straight? Why did you fold?” The foreigner grunted. At the casino, luck was still very important at the beginning. Even an expert might not be confident to win against a rookie like Philip. Moreover, with the few cards just now, Philip’s points were higher than his. If the kid really got lucky, it would not be worth it. “I was afraid a young lad like you might lose your hand, so I’m letting you win a game first,” the foreigner said. Philip glanced at the foreigner's hole card covered under his hand, smiled slightly, and said, “Then I'll have to thank you for the 150,000 dollars.” After saying that, he took the three chips worth 50,000 dollars that the foreigner pushed over. The second round began. The ho
“How about it, Mr. Clarke? It’s time for you to reveal your card! Now that you’ve seen my hole card, are your hands shaking so much that they can’t hold onto your card anymore?” the foreigner taunted. Philip said to the foreigner, “Since I’ve staked everything I have, I won’t regret it. But for you to call my 150,000 dollars, aren’t you afraid of losing? I advise you to back out now while I haven’t revealed my card.” The foreigner waved his hand and said, “Do you think it’s useful to intimidate me?” While saying that, he took two chips from in front of him and threw them on the table. “Go on. I don't believe your luck is still as good as the last hand!” Philip shook his head and said, “You're right, I had good luck in the last hand. The odds of having good luck two hands in a row are pretty small.” As Philip said that, he used two fingers to pick up his hole card. “However, I don’t know why, but my luck is really that good. Are you angry?” With that said, he tossed his ho
“You!” Yolanda’s eyes instantly popped wide open. She was a very strong-headed woman. This time, if not for the special circumstances, she would never have agreed to come over and gamble with Randolph. Moreover, Randolph took advantage of Yolanda’s unwillingness to admit defeat and eagerness to win, goading her into borrowing money to continue gambling. Before Yolanda could finish speaking, Philip waved his hand and interrupted her words. Philip smiled and said, “I agree to the raise.” Victor was surprised. Did Philip have the confidence to win? However, looking at the situation in front of him, a miracle could not happen twice. The chances of winning were too small! “Hahaha, Mr. Clarke, you’re such a decisive person!” the foreigner said as he pushed out another five million dollars in chips. Now, the foreigner had seven million dollars worth of chips out on the table. “Philip, what are you saying? How dare you use me as a bet?” Yolanda was anxious now. Although she
“Mr. Clarke, you’re too hasty.” The foreigner suddenly laughed and said, “You're too eager to win back the money the little b*tch has lost. The two million you have now, plus the five million you raised, makes it a total of seven million dollars. Do you want to make a comeback? I won’t give you that chance. I’m folding this hand.” After saying that, he pushed his chips to Philip and turned over his hole card—seven of hearts. The audience was surprised and murmured. Philip ignored the foreigner's words and silently turned over his hole card as well. It was an ace of spades! Instantly, the private room fell into a dead silence! Philip’s cards were the ace of spades, nine of hearts, seven of diamonds, four of spades, and three of spades. The foreigner's cards were the seven of hearts, king of spades, ten of hearts, seven of clubs, and two of spades. Philip had a loose hand while the foreigner had a pair! However, the foreigner folded his cards and admitted defeat, losi
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
The hooded man was very interested in Rabbit and wanted to make contact with him to find out more about him. He quickly found Philip’s house and was surprised to find that it was surrounded by a barrier that blocked all his perceptions, which made him conflicted. It was not a place he could enter at will. He felt some energy fluctuations from formations too. If he was not mistaken, entering this place would be dangerous for him. After much deliberation, he turned around and left without staying any longer. His visit here was enough to verify his guess. Since Philip could come up with such a powerful formation and barrier, he was certainly a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, Philip was not someone he could deal with so easily. As for Rabbit, the hooded man was not bothered by him at all. He just wanted to know how Philip subdued such a powerful pet. The hooded man had dealt with many monster beasts in the past but failed to subdue any. He had even suffered badly un
“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
