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
There was no decorative playacting, they were all ruthless deadly moves! Just a little inattention and one would be killed! In just half a minute, 17 and Vivian had already exchanged a dozen blows! Bam! Suddenly, 17 kicked Vivian squarely in the chest, causing the latter to take several steps back! Philip could not help but feel a pain in his chest when he watched this. Such delicate-looking women, how could they be so brutal in a fight? He thought it would last for a while, but the next second, the winner was already determined! The butterfly blades in 17’s hands were pressed directly on Vivian’s fair and delicate neck. She said proudly, “Hmph, the young master said that your skills aren’t bad, but I think they're just so-so.” “You!” Vivian’s eyes widened in anger as she clenched her fists, seemingly unconvinced. Right then, Philip calmly walked over and looked at Vivian, saying, “Miss Vivian, can you take me to see Giada now?” Vivian snorted furiously, turned ar
“I think she’s right. You have no right to despise her for being ugly! If you have the ability to cure the groom’s disease, you can marry into a wealthy family too! You’re a loser for putting her down because of her looks!” Ronan’s sudden interruption surprised the bride. She never thought that someone would speak up for her in this situation. “Enough with this fiasco. Hurry up and end it!” Lazlo frowned and glanced at the people next to him. He had replaced the useless guards earlier. These people were carefully selected experts. The experts quickly flagged Ronan as a troublemaker and wanted to throw him out. “Let’s call off the wedding for the time being. We didn’t think it through carefully. We’ll decide after careful consideration. Please excuse us,” Lazlo said calmly but he was fuming inside. He knew that this was a disgrace to the family. He had never thought a woman could play him out like that. Lazlo glared daggers at Celeste in front of him. 'I wouldn’t have be
By right, everyone should respect Lazlo, but these people simply wanted to humiliate him instead. Lazlo always took advantage of them during their business dealings, so they wanted to teach him a lesson. For the sake of his dignity, Lazlo could not lose his temper either. “Hehe, the bride is coming!” Lazlo gritted his teeth and asked someone to bring the bride out. Everyone looked around eagerly, waiting to see what this legendary woman looked like. The bride wore a veil on her face, and no one could see her appearance clearly. “The bride is bound by the rules of her race, so she’s not allowed to show her face in public, but you can tell from her figure that she's indeed very beautiful. My daughter-in-law is not to be underestimated!” Lazlo laughed. It was the only option he could think of. Some nosy people created a gust of wind that blew the veil away. Very soon, the woman’s ugly face was revealed to the public. Everyone was dumbfounded by the scene. They gulped nervous
“But she’d be very attractive if she covered her face.” Her figure was very good, but her face was scary. Anyone who saw that face would probably be haunted by nightmares. Philip was curious. The woman could cure the groom’s disease, which proved that she had that ability. In that case, why was she in such a hurry to marry? With an ability like that, she could easily survive on her own. “She caught me red-handed peeking at her. Although it was embarrassing, she was very gentle and didn’t say anything. It’s a pity that I can’t deal with that appearance!” Ronan said awkwardly, ashamed at the thought of being caught red-handed. Philip rolled his eyes helplessly. He was no longer in the mood to watch the fun. Staying there was just a waste of time. He would rather leave. He was not interested in the free meal. Suddenly, they smelled a strange fragrance. Ronan frowned and rubbed his nose. The smell made him feel uncomfortable. “Someone is poisoning us,” Philip said calmly.
Lazlo knew that he would be doomed if he fell into Philip's hands. He decided to run away in a panic, but it did not mean he was going to give up. Celeste was his only hope to regain his dignity, and he would never let her off. “Keep a close eye on the situation. It’s best if you can knock Celeste out and bring her to me,” Lazlo ordered his men before he left. Since his men could not do it openly, they had to resort to some underhanded tricks. Lazlo had more than a team of guards under his command. Although the captain of the guards was no match for Philip, it did not mean that Lazlo was out of options. He had to solve this problem at all costs. Philip had no choice but to take Celeste away. Who knew they would encounter such a mess? “I never knew I was so charming that the guy wants me to marry his son,” Celeste said ironically. To think that something like this would happen to her. The people of her race were so valuable that they could not marry just anyone, let alone
The guards laughed. “No way, does he think he can handle us?” Everyone mocked Philip and did not take him seriously. So what if Philip had powerful abilities? They could easily overwhelm him with numbers. Everyone laughed as they surrounded Philip, and Lazlo smiled smugly. He rarely took action in such things. He simply watched the fun to appease his anger. “Just accept your fate. An ordinary man like you can't possibly fight us,” Lazlo taunted Philip, confident that he had nowhere to escape. When Lazlo was about to capture Celeste, he saw someone flying out. He thought his men had taken action and was surprised by their newfound power. Before he could do anything, he heard wails of agony. “Ouch, it hurts!” “This is too much. You broke my leg!” “Why is this man so powerful? He can fight us all by himself!” When Lazlo heard the screams clearly, he scowled darkly. “What's going on? Are my guards defeated?” he said in horror. Lazlo looked over and saw his guards ly
“It’s your honor that our family has taken a fancy to you. Stop resisting. Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? You must be trying to gain more benefits. As long as you agree to this marriage, I promise that you’ll lead a good life, much better than what you have now!” Lazlo looked at Celeste condescendingly, seeing her as a gold digger. “You’re sick.” Celeste was dumbfounded. Celeste pulled Philip and wanted to leave, but Lazlo had no intention of letting them go. He had finally found a beautiful woman to solve the problem for him. How could he let her go? He had looked around earlier but had not seen anyone as beautiful as Celeste. It would be a privilege to bring a beautiful woman like Celeste out. If Celeste was willing to cooperate, he could hold his head high in front of many people. Thinking of this, he summoned the family's guards. “Hurry up and capture them. Even if you refuse, you have to do it!” Lazlo laughed at this point. “Young lady, you'd better li
Philip winked at Ronan, signaling him to wait while he went in with Celeste to see what was going on. “In that case, my brother and I will see what’s going on,” Celeste said with a sigh. She just wanted to watch the fun. Why was she involved all of a sudden? Philip and Celeste walked in, and Lazlo was surprised to see someone else. However, a look of realization crossed his face after his servant introduced Philip’s identity. “Yes, I was too hasty about this. We should discuss this matter with the family.” He quickly invited everyone inside. After taking a closer look at Celeste's appearance, he nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, this woman was very beautiful and perfect from every angle. She was the best choice for his son. To be frank, even Lazlo was attracted to her. “My son is getting married today, but his bride is very ugly, so I want to use you in place of the bride. After this, you can become my son's concubine,” Lazlo said condescendingly as if Celeste should
At this moment, Celeste looked no different from normal people, and her face was more stunning, capturing everyone’s attention with one glance. Lazlo was excited to see her and knew that she was the woman he had been looking for. Indeed, the bride was very ugly and had a strange appearance. He would never have agreed to the marriage if the woman had not saved his son's life. His son had been seriously ill and bedridden for a long time, almost on the verge of dying. To save his son, he promised that anyone who could save his son could make a request. This woman saved his son and requested to marry into the Cohen family. Although reluctant, big families attached great importance to promises. If they went against their conscience and broke the promise, it would greatly impact their subsequent practice. Hence, Lazlo had no choice but to agree to their marriage. However, to prevent people from talking behind their backs, he appointed some dedicated maids to take care of the ugly
Ronan grabbed the others in fright so that they could stay together. Ronan was a strong guy, after all. With his protection, the others would not be separated by the crowd. Philip looked at this scene and asked the onlookers curiously, “What’s going on? What’s the occasion? Is it a celebration?” Philip had a smile on his face. He thought the atmosphere was quite interesting as if someone was having a celebration. “Don’t you know? It’s the wedding day of the young heir of the Cohen family. I heard that they’ll be serving free spiritual beast meat during the feast. Whether it’s true or not, we want to join the fun. It’s great if the news is true.” “Young man, you must be a visitor from out of town. You’re in luck!” Everyone smiled and walked along excitedly, hoping to spread happiness. Since it was a happy occasion, Philip took the others to join in the fun. As expected, it was very crowded, and everyone sat happily while waiting for the feast to begin. They looked at a lux
