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
The expressions on Martin and Bernard changed when they heard the word ‘condition’ being mentioned. Martin forced a smile and said, “Madam Wallis, please don’t make things difficult for us. We really can’t agree to your terms. This is a deal that abandons family kinship and I dare not do it.” Giada smiled lightly and gently put the cup on the coffee table. Then, she got up and said to Vivian behind her, “Send the guests away.” “Yes, Madam.” Vivian nodded coldly in response, turned her gaze to Martin and Bernard, and said with a gesture, “May I ask the two of you to leave.” Bernard was so anxious that he hurriedly tugged on his second brother's arm and muttered in a low voice, “Martin, let’s just agree to Madam Wallis. We can hardly protect ourselves in the current situation.” Martin looked like he was in a dilemma as he struggled inwardly. Seeing that Giada was about to leave, Martin quickly said in a loud voice, “Very well, Madam Wallis, we agree. We also hope that you’l
“Why are you looking for me?” Philip asked solemnly. Vivian took off her wide sunglasses and said directly, “Madam told me to tell you that Martin and Bernard are Madam’s people. She hopes you won’t make things too difficult for them. Moreover, from today onward, the two of them will have no connection to Beacon Group.” After saying that, Vivian turned around and wanted to leave. Philip raised his eyebrows and made a sudden movement to grab Vivian’s arm with one hand. Vivian frowned, turned around, and raised her leg high to kick Philip’s neck! Philip stepped sideways and dodged the kick. “Young Master Clarke, please watch yourself!” Vivian coldly said while turning back around, swaying her hips as she got into the car and left. Philip chuckled and said, “How extraordinary. I haven't seen her so powerful before. I didn’t expect that she would improve so quickly after not seeing her for so long.” Theo had been standing behind Philip and was shocked when he saw Philip sud
The guards of Cirrus Villa had surrounded Philip and 17 at this moment, their faces looking grim. It seemed that if Philip were to make any aggressive movements, they would swarm over and take him down! “Young Master Clarke, this is Cirrus Villa, not Arcadia Island. Here, only Madam has the final say.” At this time, the captain of the guards walked out from behind the crowd while dressed in a black suit. He had a burly figure, a tough face, and tanned skin. Philip raised his eyebrows and looked over. The corners of his mouth formed a small smile as he said, “If I want to go in, are you going to stop me?” The captain’s face darkened and he replied, “Madam has given an order that she won’t be meeting any guests today no matter who shows up. I hope you won’t give us a hard time, Young Master Clarke.” “Is that so? From what you’re saying, are you going to make a move against me?” Philip’s face darkened as he took a step forward and stood directly in front of that captain. Spa
Bam! As a result, Philip’s kick was faster than the opponent's and landed squarely on the captain’s stomach. The latter flew back, knocked over several people behind him, and fell heavily to the ground! “I’m not killing you because you’re doing your duty! Now, I'm warning you once more, get out of my way!” Philip was furious. Cold intent and sparks were bursting out of his eyes! He wanted to go in and ask Giada what she intended to do. Was she involved in Martin Johnston’s incident? If so, Philip would definitely not let her go! The captain who fell to the ground stood up with the help of his men, wiped the blood that spilled from the corner of his mouth, and shouted sullenly, “Young Master Clarke, you can't get through today! Take him down!” At that furious shout, dozens of heavily armed guards from all around rushed toward Philip. However, Philip just flicked a glance around while 17, who was next to him, suddenly struck out with vicious movements and at lightning s
Anyone with any ideas could only shake their heads helplessly after hearing Philip’s remarks. At the same time, they were amazed by the ring’s function. “Wow, that’s great. The person who made this thing must be a genius!” Cameron clapped his hands excitedly. Of course, he was worried that someone would steal his treasure. After all, owning a treasure was a sin in itself. It was inevitable for others to covet his treasure. It would be bad if they attacked him because of greed. With Philip’s explanation, his trouble would be reduced. “That sounds amazing.” The patriarch of the Lamy family seemed dissatisfied. He had some crooked thoughts too. With their family’s financial resources, they could not buy so many rings, so he planned to steal the other two as well. He was not that stupid to steal from Philip, so he could only set his sights on the other major families. Everyone wanted the rings anyway. As long as he refused to admit it, no one would know that he was guilty.
It was too much to use half of the family's assets and properties in exchange for one storage space. “Are you sure about this? Do you know how much that would cost?” “The Lamy family must be crazy to go all out for this treasure!” Everyone complained helplessly. They might be in trouble if the Lamy family insisted on doing it this way. “I know you guys can’t afford it, so stop wasting your time. The Lamy family has made an offer. If you can up the price, go ahead. Don’t stop us from buying that treasure!” the patriarch of the Lamy family said smugly. He felt that his offer was high enough and no one could afford it, so this thing would definitely belong to him. Even Ronan was surprised by this development. He had heard of the Lamy family before. Ronan had worked for the Lamy family before, but their attitude toward him was the same as that of other families—indifferent and disdainful. Therefore, Ronan had the same bad impression about everyone. The Lamy family was not
Rather than saying that they were unwilling to believe it, it was more likely that they did not dare to believe it. Ronan calmly put the ring aside. “I'm wearing a ring that looks better than the ones you're about to get. Watch this.” After saying that, Ronan demonstrated to everyone what a real storage space could do. Anything he took in his hand vanished and appeared at will, which looked simply amazing. Everyone was jealous at this scene. They stared at Ronan’s hands nervously, trying to see if he was performing a magic trick or showing off the storage ring. After Ronan's many demonstrations, they finally confirmed that Ronan was not lying. Everything was true. Everyone exclaimed in amazement. “Wow, I can’t believe that I really saw a storage space in action!” “It’s amazing!” “I have to get hold of one!” Although Sadie had been dealt a heavy blow, she hid in a corner and observed the situation instead of leaving. She wanted to see how things would develop. When S
“Heh, look at those crazy family patriarchs. They can't wait to suck up to Ronan! Do you think they’ll question the Claude family after hearing about the storage space? They’ll only turn up in person to find out about it! “With so many of them putting pressure on us, what do you think we can do? Now, we may not even get that amazing storage space because there are too many people competing with us!” Cameron was furious and almost passed out in anger because of this stupid woman. Sadie scowled at the yard in disbelief as she realized that the crowd causing the commotion was the patriarchs of the other major families. She thought that they were servants sent by the families, but everything was different from what she imagined. “How did this happen? I planned everything perfectly. We just need to throw the wool over their eyes. Things shouldn't have turned out like this!” Sadie almost had a mental breakdown at this bad news. “No way. This is impossible…” Seeing the family
“Forget it. I won't talk to you anymore. I want to claim the credit for what I’ve done!” Sadie quickly turned and left. The butler wanted to stop her, but she vanished before he could say anything. In the end, he remained silent. “The plan really backfired on her. Unfortunately, she can only blame it on her bad luck.” The butler knew the situation the family was facing now. Their residence would probably be turned upside down. The Claude family could have owned a storage space, but everything was ruined now. Not only would they fail to get one, but others would also humiliate them! Sadie quickly arrived at the yard and rolled her eyes at the crowd. “Dad, over here!” Sadie beckoned her father excitedly as if she had great news for him. Cameron was very anxious at this point and wished he could find a solution. When Sadie called him, he thought his solution had appeared. He rushed over and looked at Sadie curiously. “What’s up? Is there any good news?” He was very excited
Everyone was excited to hear that Ronan had those legendary items. It was great. “Our family has to get one!” The patriarch of the Lamy family was the most excited. The members of this family had always been strong-headed and were determined to get it. The other families were unhappy to hear that. They were not that bad either, so they were annoyed by that high-handed remark. “All the major families are powerful in our own rights. I think there’s no need to conclude so quickly.” “I agree. I’m afraid you’ll hide and cry if you fail to get one. That'll be embarrassing.” “Even the major families are not confident about this. Who do you think you are to get it?” Everyone targeted the swell-headed Lamy family even though they were indeed big and powerful enough to steal the treasure from them. The Claude family was the most excited yet regretful. Instead of feeling happy that the families were bickering with each other, they were worried. Although the families were fighting
Besides, Philip mentioned that he would help Ronan make a name for himself. The storage rings that Philip provided were quite meager, with only 30 to 70 cubic feet of storage space each. However, that did not stop Ronan from admiring Philip. He knew that Philip had various treasures, but he was willing to share them with Ronan, which was too generous for words. To prevent Ronan from getting the short end of the stick, Philip also provided some common things for doing business. Due to this, Ronan wanted to serve Philip. In their world, the best way to express gratitude was to acknowledge the other party as their master. It was not only to seize the opportunity but also to find a good roof over their head. Thinking of this, Ronan did not dare to call Philip his brother anymore. Ronan decided to approach Philip at night and find a way to acknowledge him as his master so that he could serve Philip wholeheartedly. Philip had no idea about Ronan’s thoughts. He was still think
Everything Rabbit owned, including the storage space and various treasures, was given by Philip. So, Rabbit could come up with some amazing things for these people to please him. Rabbit felt very proud of this accomplishment. “Ahem, everyone, follow me! I know you’re eager to see Philip, but you have to follow the rules. Don't be as rude as the Claude family!” Rabbit said calmly. He was very unhappy with the Claude family. Hearing that, members of the Claude family were livid. They were shocked by Rabbit's words. He was deliberately putting them down! Those remarks were likely to affect their status among the major families. That off-handed tone might cause other major families to reject them. “I’m surprised that this family would be so arrogant and disrespect you!” “How could they treat that precious storage space so carelessly? I say, those people are too bold to disregard such a valuable treasure!” “This family is stupid and arrogant. Let's ignore them to avoid any ass
However, Cameron and his people were arrogant enough to lock Philip up. How dare they?! “Cameron, you went too far!” “I never knew that the Claude family were such people. I really misjudged you before. You’re really too much for treating such an amazing person that way.” Everyone pretended to be angry and kept speaking up for Philip, trying to please Rabbit and indirectly please Philip. Cameron was startled by Rabbit’s words, which easily landed him in trouble. “No, that's not exactly the case. I didn't lock Philip up but gave him a place to stay. How would I dare to lock up such a powerful person? You really think too highly of me.” However, Cameron’s explanation was useless. Everyone believed that Cameron locked Philip up on purpose, so they wanted to get him into trouble. Whether Cameron locked Philip up or treated Philip as a valuable guest, they wanted to ruin Cameron’s reputation. Once they got rid of Cameron, they could focus on pleasing Philip. “You must be
