“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
Thump, thump, thump! In an instant, dozens of heavily armed combatants rushed out of the hall. They were all ready to fight and were staring at Philip intently. It was just that the weapons in their hands were pointed downward. The corners of Philip's eyes froze. He stared at Vivian before glancing around, laughing as he said, “Why? Do you want to make a move against me first?” Giada put the teacup down, keeping her eyes on 17 who was next to Philip. The little girl seemed unconcerned with what was happening in front of her. It was as though in her eyes, these people were just toys. “That’s enough. Back down. Why is it so difficult for me to talk to my son?” Giada said at this moment. With a smile blooming in her eyes, she looked at Philip tenderly and lovingly, saying, “Philip, you can be considered my half-son. Why can’t we sit down and talk?” Hearing that, Philip’s face went cold as he shouted, “I only have one mother. You’re unworthy!” Giada nodded and said with
If Philip was at fault, Lincoln had nothing to say. However, if Hogster was the one who had caused all the trouble, he would not spare them. “I’ll get to the bottom of this. Now, tell me what’s going on with Dennis. Based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't betray the guild for no reason. He must have a reason for doing this!” Neither of them could explain what happened to Dennis. They could only say that humans were fickle. After all, they could not figure it out either. The person at fault would never admit their fault. Alain did not think that he was biased or thought that what he had done was excessive. He simply thought that Dennis looked down on him, which was why he decided to leave. Now that he was gone, Alain could say whatever he wanted, and Dennis could not defend himself. Thinking of this, Alain was very excited. He began to defame Dennis and shifted the attention away from him and his son. Lincoln scowled as he listened. Then, he returned to his room and summ
Alain was helpless. Although he had a lot to say, he could not do anything in front of Lincoln. Lincoln was stronger than him in every aspect, a force to be reckoned with. He was not someone Alain could deal with. Alain looked at Lincoln awkwardly. He wanted to appease his anger but did not know what to say. “You need to explain this to me. Why did Dennis leave? And I want to know why the guild’s reputation has become so bad. Did you do something wrong?”Lincoln heard that Dennis had been expelled and could no longer stay in the guild. Many people supported Dennis, so they were upset with Alain and tried to defame him. Hearing that, Alain knew that someone must have been talking behind his back, but he did not dare to lose his temper. He forced a smile and looked at Lincoln in a flattering manner. Before he could find an excuse, Hogster rushed over excitedly and said to his father, “Father, guess what I did to Philip? Hehe!” Hogster recounted his handiwork smugly without p
It had been years since the grandmaster went into seclusion for practice. He was not concerned about power. He once mentioned that he would not leave his seclusion unless he reached the top. Hence, no one expected to see him. “Grandmaster, you appeared at the right time. We would've been in trouble if you didn't come out!” “That’s right. Everyone is bullying us. Now that you’re out, you can help us.” Everyone complained about their grievances, feeling sorry for themselves. The Hexa Guild was in trouble, and they faced various problems too. All the major guilds were keeping a close eye on the Hexa Guild, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. The Celestial Palace planned to destroy the Hexa Guild instead of letting them off. They could not accept the initial setup, so they decided to erase the Hexa Guild from existence. Hence, the Hexa Guild had been under great pressure, with the members wishing that someone could help them. Unexpectedly, a strong expert appeared.
Ronan was his buddy, and his wife's reputation was at stake. Philip could not stand idly by. He had to help. Jamie was very fast at ordering his people to make the matter public. No one expected another dramatic turn of events. Everyone thought that the young lady of the Celestial Palace was an unchaste woman for making that decision. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Palace found a way to solve the side effects of their technique. All the major guilds were in trepidation. Although the Celestial Palace’s technique was very powerful, the side effects reduced its allure. Now that that problem was solved, everything was different. On top of that, the holy maiden and other members of the guild showed their appearance in public. Regardless of gender, everyone was beautiful without any markings on their faces. After seeing this scene, everyone knew that the Celestial Palace was about to make a comeback. Carlos was very excited and thought that Vanna was a lucky star to bring so many
After reading the letter, Alain trembled in anger, shocked that two of his strongest members would choose to leave the guild at such a critical time. Their departure was no joke. The guild could lose the guild competition at any minute! Dennis and Louis were very strong and could hold down the fort in the competition. With their departure, Alain would have fewer people to count on, and things might end up a mess. He was furious about their abrupt departure. “I need to capture Dennis. How dare he betray us?!” Alain was very upset. As a traitor, Dennis had to be dealt with. The news quickly spread, and many members found out that Dennis had chosen to leave the guild. The other elders also wondered what they should do. They knew that Dennis was a smart man and was good at judging the situation. Choosing to leave was a sign of a change to come. Everyone had their own thoughts and a rough guess about what was going on. Alain's actions not only caused an uproar but also made
A young man about the same age as him was so talented. Could anyone not be jealous? However, Louis was truly not jealous. He just wanted to learn from Philip. If Philip was really that strong, he would obey. Although Louis had a high status in the guild, he was not highly valued. That useless loser was given priority when it came to most of the resources, which made Louis upset. By right, resources should be allocated to talented people, but things were different because Hogster had a guild leader for a father. Thinking of this, Louis smiled at Philip expectantly. If Philip was worth following, he would leave the Hexa Guild without hesitation. “I want to apologize for offending you earlier. I also want to follow you, but I don’t know if I’m good enough. If you won’t consider me, I hope you can give my son a chance. He’s pretty talented.” Dennis was very polite as he apologized to Philip. Philip was surprised and thought that Dennis was quite nice. Philip invited them insi
Dennis and Louis quickly arrived at the door and knocked nervously. Rabbit opened the door this time. He did not expect to see Dennis again. He thought Dennis was here to cause trouble, so he scowled. “Why are you here again, old man? Do you want to cause more trouble for us? You’d better think twice or I’m going to get angry!” Rabbit said fiercely. Rabbit easily crushed them earlier, so they would not forget about their miserable defeat so quickly. Louis was embarrassed to hear that this rabbit had defeated his father. He had always thought that Dennis was very powerful and would not lose to a younger person no matter what. Unexpectedly, Dennis was not only defeated but lost miserably too. Louis keenly perceived that this talking rabbit was Philip’s pet and became excited. If Philip's pet was so powerful, Philip should be better. Thinking of this, he was excited and wanted to see Philip immediately. Rabbit stared at Dennis and Louis, wondering what they were up to. Denni
Celeste was surprised to see that Esther had restored her appearance. She had just seen Esther wearing a veil to cover her ugly face when they first met earlier. “Amazing! You look beautiful all of a sudden,” Celeste praised Esther from the bottom of her heart. Celeste did not know how it happened, but there had to be a reason for it. Esther smiled at Celeste. “Now that I’m beautiful, I can fully focus on taking care of Philip. Don’t worry, I won’t be worse than you.” Hearing that, Celeste was puzzled by Esther’s aggression. While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, an uninvited guest turned up at the door. It was none other than Dennis of the Hexa Guild. Dennis was not alone as he had brought his son along with him. His son was quite talented and always listened to his father's opinions. After all, he knew that he would not be where he was without his father’s guidance, and most of his father’s decisions were correct. “Father, are you sure we should leave the guild
Esther never thought that her curse could be lifted so quickly. More importantly, Esther found that all the negative energy in her body had disappeared. She took off her veil and looked at them with her true appearance. Esther was beautiful by nature, but the nasty technique had impacted her self-esteem. Now that she had regained her appearance, Esther’s confidence returned as well. “Wonderful! This technique is the perfect improved version! With this technique, our members can practice like any normal person without worrying about their appearance. Other guilds can’t kick a fuss over it or try to mess with us again!” Jamie was ecstatic and abruptly remembered a very important question. “By the way, what’s the deal with this technique? Did someone give it to you?” Jamie had to get to the bottom of it. It was very important. He would be uneasy if he did not figure out the situation. “Philip gave it to me. I don't know how he got our technique, but he’s quite good at studying
