Everyone turned to look at where the voice came from and saw dozens of people approaching. The leader was an old man with a walking cane, looking to be about 60 or 70 years old. He was dressed in a white suit with a string of rosary in his hand. He was Webster Shaw, the chairman of Loyale Group. He was a former major underground force in Riverdale! In terms of seniority and influence, Webster was definitely above Theo! In Riverdale, many underground figures only got to their current positions because of Webster. Instantly, the entrance of Beacon Group became jam-packed with people. The people here served their own masters. Everyone dared not take the matter lightly.Webster’s pomp was grand when he showed up earlier. He leaned on the cane in his hand and looked at Theo coldly. Douglas quickly got up from the ground, ran to Webster, and shouted, “Uncle Webster, you’re finally here. Any later and I would’ve been killed by Theo! He doesn't even care about you now. You hav
Philip finally understood after Theo explained. Then, he turned around, looked at Webster blandly, and asked, “Are you Webster Shaw?” “How dare you?! Who told you to talk to Uncle Webster like that?! Apologize on your knees at once!” Standing behind Webster, Blake immediately pointed at Philip and chastised him. He could not wait to break Philip into tiny pieces! If not for Philip, Blake would not have been embarrassed in front of Webster. The worse thing was, he was obviously such a loser, so what right did he have to be so cocky? Webster looked sideways at Philip again and sneered, “Young man, it seems that you have some status. Otherwise, Theo wouldn’t be helping you like this.” Philip laughed and said, “In ten minutes, you can declare Loyale Group bankrupt.” As he said that, he had already sent a text message. What? A group of people was stunned! What was this kid talking about? He wanted Webster Shaw to declare Loyale Group bankrupt? What a ridiculous j
Almost the instant Philip finished speaking... Clatter! Several black modified anti-riot vehicles quickly rushed out from the street! Dozens of heavily armed combatants wearing black combat uniforms, black berets, and black combat boots jumped down from the vehicles and quickly surrounded the place! Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded! Immediately after! Pitter-patter! The sound of dense combat boots stepping on the ground was heard from behind! The crowd looked for the sound and saw dozens of heavily armed combatants in neat rows running from the street. They were all wearing berets and goggles, each holding blast shields and riot batons. They quickly swarmed in! “Drop your weapons! Violators will be killed!” “Do not resist and crouch on the ground!” “On the ground and drop your weapons!” Very soon, all those gangsters outside the building were pinned to the ground by the combatants who rushed in! There was no resistance at all! Douglas Poole, Blake
The news? Webster was still baffled when Philip had already switched on the video application on his phone. He tuned in to the news channel. “Urgent broadcast! Loyale Group has been exposed to be involved in corruption, exchange of benefits, and huge tax evasion. It’s currently being investigated by authorities!” When this news was broadcasted, Webster felt his head heating up with a surge of blood. He staggered a few steps back and fell to the ground, his breathing turning rapid. How could this happen? Webster had dealt with these problems a long time ago, so why were they being exposed now? Immediately after... “From the latest news received, Loyale Group’s largest shareholder, Webster Shaw, has been suspected of gray transactions and will be investigated. Currently, Loyale Group and Mr. Shaw’s private villa have been cordoned off.” Boom! Webster was so scared that his legs went weak and he slumped on the ground in a daze. Impossible! This was absolutely impos
Seeing Philip who suddenly broke in, Martin and Bernard’s expressions changed drastically. There was fear and anger on their faces! “You... How did you get here?” Bernard stammered at this moment, his voice trembling. There were many bodyguards stationed at the gate. When he looked at the combatants behind Philip, Bernard felt a chill down his back. What was this situation? Where did Philip find these people? Panic! Bernard was so flustered that he kept casting his eyes to Martin next to him. Although Martin was also flustered, he still pretended to be calm and shouted solemnly, “Philip Clarke, you’re too presumptuous! How dare you break into my villa?! Men, take them down for me!” Swoosh! In an instant, team after team of bodyguards rushed out of the villa. They were all fully-armed and holding anti-riot batons in their hands! These were the people Martin had arranged earlier just in case. He did not expect to use them so soon. Anyway, since things had progre
Philip shook his head helplessly and said, “So unreasonable.” Then, he said to the captain of the Clarke family’s guards behind him, “Take care of this as soon as possible and avoid any bloodshed. Capture those two alive. They’re Wynn’s uncles, after all.” The captain nodded and replied, “Yes, Young Master Clarke.” After that, the atmosphere became unbearably tense! Martin was so angry that he could not care less and roared, “Take them down for me!” Instantly, two groups of people broke out in a frightening battle in this villa. However, this battle soon ended and it was obvious what the result was. How could these miscellaneous bodyguards Martin and Bernard found compare to the Clarke family guards? They were the elite of the elites, and their skills were naturally extraordinary. In less than ten minutes, the battle was over. A group of people was sprawled all over the ground, clutching their arms and legs, groaning and howling. As for the two brothers, Martin and
“What...?” Bernard was extremely scared now. When he saw his brother being kicked away by Philip just now, he felt the fear welling in his heart. He was originally from a poor family and had never seen such a scene before. Even if he was given the position of king, he could not comfortably sit on the throne. Philip turned around and walked toward Bernard one step at a time. Facing the approaching enemy, Bernard panicked as he stepped back and shouted, “Philip, don't come over. I was wrong, I admit it. I’ll return the company to you. I don’t want the villa either.” Bernard was completely scared. He knelt on the ground with a thud and burst into tears. Philip raised his hand, thought about it, and put it down again. Then, he walked to the sofa and sat down. He lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and exhaled a smoke ring. He said, “From today onward, you won't have any positions in Beacon. Don’t let me see you again. Otherwise, I won’t let you off so lightly again!” Hearing
Martin’s face darkened as he said, “Let’s go and see how it is first. If nothing else works, we can only agree. After all, this is our last chance.” The car left First Palace and drove straight to Cirrus Villa. Theo was chased after them and reached the door. He glanced at the leaving vehicle and said to his subordinates, “Go after them and keep a close watch. Remember, don't reveal your presence and you must report the other party’s every movement.” “Yes, Master Theo!” The three men quickly drove after the Johnston brothers. Soon, Martin’s car arrived at the entrance of Cirrus Villa. He gave his name, and the electronic gates of the villa opened. The car slowly drove in. Inside the lavish lobby, Giada Wallis was in a long beige dress with a mink fleece draped over her shoulders. She held a white Persian cat with different colored eyes in her arms. On the sofa in front of her sat Martin and Bernard. The two looked very nervous and apprehensive. Although this was not the
Meanwhile, it was busy at the Hexa Guild. This was the guild Hogster belonged to. The people of the guild were arrogant and never took anyone seriously. Due to limited strength, however, they only bullied weaker guilds and avoided the stronger ones. The powerful guilds were the objects of their pursuit, so they thought the Celestial Palace was in the bag for sure. After all, their young heir was about to marry the Celestial Palace’s young heiress, which would in turn raise the Hexa Guild's status. Thus, they saw themselves as the top guild and felt that they would definitely win the guild competition. The guild leader was jubilant as he waited for the Celestial Palace’s explanation. Since both parties had reached an agreement regarding marriage, the Celestial Palace had breached the contract by letting the young heiress run away, so they had to give the Hexa Guild an explanation. At that time, the Hexa Guild could rip them off by demanding compensation. The guild leader was v
“Hey, you! Go and report this situation to my dad. Tell him to come and save me. I’ll die if he doesn’t hurry!” Hogster kicked the person next to him and told him to seek reinforcements. The others were nervous and did not dare to go out at all. Who knew if someone was keeping an eye on them? What if they encountered a problem after they left? No one wanted to risk their lives for no reason. They were just normal guild members. “I think Neil is the fastest among us. He should go!” “I agree. Neil is very fast. There’ll be no problem with his speed!” “We’ll cover up for him. Neil, make it quick. You have to find someone to save all of us!” Everyone focused their attention on Neil, whose scowl grew bigger by the second. He was shocked by their shamelessness in pushing this job to him. Who knew what would happen if he went out? He would be dead in no time if he bumped into those villains. He gulped at this thought. “I think we should just sit and wait for reinforcements. Thes
More importantly, marriage would make the guilds stronger. Most large guilds would not choose a casual practitioner for marriage. The value of their women had to be stretched to the largest extent. Vanna was no different, but she was lucky to have parents who doted on her, so her occasional wilfulness was overlooked. Vanna would not suffer any repercussions even if she decided on her marriage herself. “That guy is quite powerful. I had to do my best to knock him out. He’s quite talented, but his face looks weird. No wonder he has the confidence to demand marriage.” Rabbit marveled mockingly. After saying that, Rabbit jumped onto Hogster's head provocatively. Hogster and his men had been knocked out, so they could not witness this humiliating scene, but even if they did, they would not have been able to do anything anyway. With Rabbit’s ability, they could only endure it no matter how much they wanted revenge. Their only option was to go back and seek reinforcements or Rabbit wo
Rabbit looked at Hogster’s wounded head smugly. “Oh, I thought you were very strong. So, this is what a member of a strong guild is like. Maybe I thought too highly of you. With that ability, you might as well be a farmer!” Rabbit taunted Hogster. On the other hand, Carlos was shocked. He had heard that this rabbit was very strong, but this was beyond his imagination. Hogster was still in a daze. He clutched his head and glowered at Rabbit. Just as he was about to speak, something big appeared in Rabbit’s hand. He was shocked when he saw the object clearly. It was a huge hammer. It was weird to see a small rabbit holding such a big hammer. Before Hogster could say anything, Rabbit swung the hammer in his face, hitting Hogster so hard that he was dumbfounded. Hogster passed out in shame. Even then, he could not figure out how a rabbit could be so unreasonable and powerful. Suddenly, Carlos became thoughtful, wondering how strong Philip was. Someone who could subdue such a
While Vanna was blaming herself for messing up, she heard a lot of commotion at the door, which attracted her to watch the fun. Unexpectedly, the joke was on her. Vanna recognized the man in front of her due to the irreconcilable conflict between them. Vanna was vexed at the sight of that ugly face. “You’re really persistent, stalking me wherever I go. I’m telling you, I have no interest in you. Stop following me! I’ll never be with you. Besides, I’m married now.” Vanna walked forward and held Ronan’s arm intimately. Hogster scowled at the sight. Vanna was no longer ugly, which proved that he was too late. He was shocked by Vanna’s audacity to be with someone else. It was simply outrageous. “Marriage should be decided by your parents and elders. Both our parents have reached an agreement about our marriage. How could you disobey them? Doing so will only break your parents’ hearts!” Hogster shook his head helplessly. Although Vanna had become someone else's woman, he still wan
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
