Since the last time she was humiliated by Philip during the engagement banquet with Howard Lowe, Ruby had held a grudge against Philip. She had always wanted to seek revenge on him. As she had met him by chance today, the hatred buried in Ruby’s heart sprouted again! “Ruby, is this really that wimp Philip Clarke you told us about?” “This man is too powerful, isn’t he?” “So what? He beat up Lou Webb, the younger brother of Dru Webb! He’s done for!” Several of Ruby’s best friends looked at Philip with shocked expressions. Ruby had done her best to discredit Philip in front of them. “Dru Webb? In that case, Philip is doomed! The Webb brothers have a notorious reputation around here!” Ruby frowned and secretly took out her phone to take a picture of Philip at this time. At this moment, Philip flexed his arm with a cold chill on his face. Who the hell dared to take his legs? Without another word, Philip rushed to Lou and raised his leg, stomping it on Lou’s stomach. Th
Everyone was stunned. Unexpectedly, the young man in front of them was so reckless and did not know what was good for him! This guy was Dru Webb, a famous figure in these streets. He had people, money, and power. At this moment, the crowd was busy discussing. “I'm telling you, he’s done for. After messing with the two Webb brothers, even ten lives won’t be enough to save him.” “He's really too arrogant. Does he really think he can face a dozen people on his own?” “He’s just a rash young man. He's gone and done it now. He’ll definitely get beaten up and end up a fool!” Ruby blinked and frowned helplessly. Philip was really too foolhardy. To challenge Dru Webb was simply looking for death. It was good to let Philip suffer a little so that he would know the gap between him and others. With that thought, Ruby’s eyes revealed strong disdain and spite, as well as gloating. When Dru heard Philip’s words, he was startled. He sneered menacingly and said, “Very well, you’
“What mistake?” Dru frowned. “Kid, are you trying to buy time? Well then, I'd like to hear what mistakes I’ve made.” Dru was not in a hurry. He sneered, unconcerned. How could a loser like Philip pose a threat to him? “Actually, this isn't your territory but mine,” Philip said calmly as his searing gaze fixed on Dru. This company, along with this building, belonged to him. Naturally, this territory also belonged to him. Dru was taken aback before he raised his head and laughed, saying, “Oh boy, you’re really such a prat! What did you just say? This is your territory? Where the hell did you get the confidence to brag like this?” This kid was really interesting to have the guts to brag in front of so many people. What did he mean this was his territory? Was he saying that he owned the number one food delivery company in Riverdale? Ridiculous! What a joke! Philip shook his head, a faint smile appearing on his lips. This Dru Webb was about to die and he still had
How Philip wanted to punish them depended entirely on his mood. No one could stop him. “Master Theo, what do you mean? I’ve been with you for four years and am also a well-known figure in this area. What do you mean by lecturing us now?” Dru’s eyes were cold and looked grim as he clenched his fists tightly. What was wrong with Master Theo? Master Theo was turning his back against them without warning. This was something that had never happened before! This scene was naturally seen by the crowd and everyone was baffled. “Dru Webb, you’re such a fool! Have you forgotten that I gave you the position you’re in now? Very well then, I’ll confiscate everything you have today!” Theo roared. Dru was really looking for death. Dru’s eyes narrowed. He was completely annoyed and said sullenly, “Brother Theo, are you really going to do this?” However, Theo could not be bothered with him. Instead, he turned around, very respectfully bent 90 degrees to Philip, and said, “Mr. Clarke,
Looking at Gopher Delivery Services behind him, Philip stepped in. The employees in the company were working hard, and the atmosphere was not bad. Philip’s appearance made the female receptionist perplexed for a moment. She got up, walked over with a gentle smile on her face, and asked, “Hello, are you here to apply for a job?” Philip chuckled, shook his head, and said, “No, I'm here to see your general manager.” The female receptionist looked at Philip suspiciously. She did not treat him differently just because he was dressed in an ordinary outfit. She smiled slightly and asked, “Do you have an appointment? Our general manager is in a meeting, so she’s not free right now.” Philip nodded, found a spot to sit down, and said, “It’s okay, I’ll wait.” The female receptionist smiled and poured him a cup of tea before she returned to work. Philip sat there leisurely, drinking tea and basking in the sun. He enjoyed a rare moment of peace and quiet. At this moment, a man with
“Haha!” Herb immediately laughed and said, “What did you say? I’ll regret it? You're just a nobody. What right do you have to say such arrogant words? You're just here looking for a job. Who do you think you are? Are you worthy to see our Miss Summer?” Herb was unhappy. This fool was really cocky. However, Philip’s face remained calm. He glanced at the trembling female receptionist standing there and said, “Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you.” The female receptionist was full of panic and suspicions. She glanced at Philip and hesitated for a moment before saying to Herb, “Mr. Lyon, don't be angry. I'll deal with it.” After that, she hurriedly faced Philip, grabbed his hand, and pulled him out. She said, “You should leave quickly. You don’t know Mr. Lyon’s temper. It won’t end well for you if you offend him.” Philip looked at the woman who was dragging him away, smiling faintly at the corner of his mouth. Such a kind-hearted person. He got out of the other
A small character like him was not worthy of his attention. The few security guards immediately turned around, looked at Philip coldly, and said, “Dude, excuse me, but you need to leave.” These people were new recruits and naturally did not know Philip. Philip looked calm and did not say anything. He merely took out his phone and dialed Agnes’ number. At this moment, Agnes was discussing business with a few investors inside the conference room. Suddenly, her assistant hurriedly ran in while holding a phone in her hand, saying, “Miss Summer, your phone is ringing!” Agnes’ face went cold as she turned her head to the assistant. She reprimanded, “Can't you see I'm in a meeting? What phone call? Just reject it.” Agnes was a strong career woman with a clear distinction between public and private affairs. She would never answer personal calls during working hours. The female assistant was at a loss and said, “Miss Summer, you have to answer this call. You told me before that
Philip nodded, smiled slightly, and looked at Agnes, saying, “Agnes, there’s no need to address me as the chairman. I’m just a sleeping partner.” Agnes said, “We have to follow the company’s hierarchy.” She turned her head, stared angrily at the security guards who were going to make a move on Philip, and yelled, “Who told you to be disrespectful to Chairman Clarke?” Those few security guards were so frightened that they hurriedly bent down and said, “Miss Summer, we didn’t know he’s the chairman. We were just following orders.” Hmph! Agnes snorted and said coldly, “You can pack your things and leave after getting your salary from the finance department.” Hearing these words, the security guards all panicked and hurriedly knelt on the ground, begging for mercy, “Miss Summer, please spare us. We really didn't mean to do it.” Philip shook his head and said to Agnes, “It’s fine. They didn’t know, so they’re not guilty. Let them off this time.” Only then did Agnes nod and s
At this time, Cameron and his men returned in the middle of the night. He saw the Claude family members crying as soon as he returned. They were bruised and battered from a beating, looking utterly miserable. Cameron was furious that someone would dare to bully his family members while he was away. “What's going on? Why are you in this state? Did someone cause trouble while I was away?” Cameron was angry and in disbelief, feeling that something was strange. Everyone nodded nervously. “Ronan is here!” The old woman who suffered the worst beating was very upset and glared viciously in Ronan’s direction. “Cameron, although you left me in charge while you were away, I can’t do it anymore. Ronan kept messing with us and even brought some people to beat us up!” The old woman made up stories and described Ronan as an unforgivable evildoer. Cameron scowled, but he could not believe it. “What did you say? Ronan actually hit someone?” He was unwilling to believe it. Although Ronan
Philip took out some fine wine, which was worthless to him but priceless to Ronan. Ronan laughed at Philip’s nonchalance and patted his shoulder. The two of them sat down and started drinking. Rabbit joined in the fun and swallowed the wine in big gulps. Although the alcohol content was a bit high for Rabbit, he enjoyed it happily. They quickly felt slightly tipsy. Although they were practitioners, they did not use any techniques to sober up. It was okay to be a little intoxicated as long as it did not affect them too much. It was rare to find a friend who they could click so well with, so it was a blessing to get drunk together. As they drank happily, the aroma of the wine wafted out. Everyone smelled the fragrance and looked for the source of the scent. They quickly found Ronan's residence and scowled. That smell proved that he had to be drinking good wine in there. “How is he worthy of such fine wine?” “Just a whiff of that wine clears my head, so it has to be good s
Although victory was not confirmed, they had to take part. Since the other party said so, they had no choice but to win. At the thought of the other major families, Cameron scowled as he felt the pressure. “I heard that you have a non-human descendant in your family,” the other party said with a smile, but it was uncertain if his intention was to mock Cameron or to find out some information. The Claude family scowled as they instantly figured out who the other party was talking about—Ronan. This person had disgraced the whole family. “We do have someone like that in our family. Back then, one of our youths was restless and impulsive…” Cameron wanted to explain, but the other party interrupted him. The mysterious man smiled with satisfaction at Cameron’s admittance. “If that’s the case, it’s great. Let this person take part in the competition. I’m interested in his strength and want to try it out in person. “Other than your victory, this person has to take part in the comp
By treating Ronan badly, the people would receive some rewards from the higher-ups. After a while, everyone got used to it. Even the wine sold to Ronan was cheap wine that no one wanted. “There’ll be a place for me in the world somehow!” Philip shook his head. These people’s attitude was strange, indeed, but he did not think that they could not find a roof over their heads. Since the Claude family was so arrogant, they could take over their place. Thinking of this, Philip took them back to the Claude family's manor and knocked on the door with a smile on his face. The guards were horrified to see Philip and Ronan again. They did not forget how badly they were beaten earlier. Thus, no one dared to stop them from marching in for fear that they would be beaten again. They could not afford the consequences. The Claude family quickly learned about their appearance. They scowled, their faces turning ashen. “Why are you here again?” “We already told you that they won't be ba
Even though everyone was angry, they could not help but taunt the culprit. The cowardly man coughed at their sarcastic remarks. “Let’s wait until the family head returns tomorrow. I don’t believe Ronan will be so arrogant when he’s around!” After saying that, he ran to his room and hid, unwilling to say more to the others. Ronan did not know what happened back then. As long as he refused to admit it, he believed that Ronan could not do anything to him. It was a conspiracy against Ronan’s mother back then. If the family head refused to protect him, he would tell Ronan everything to save himself.… After Ronan left the luxurious manor, his mood instantly became better. He never thought that he would do something so spectacular one day. “Thank you.” Ronan lowered his head to Philip humbly. He was grateful to Philip and wanted to pledge brotherhood with Philip. Philip waved his hands awkwardly, surprised by Ronan’s courtesy. He did not do much; he just gave him some confiden
Other members of the family had been so pampered that no one could fight Ronan either. All of them were sent flying, and some of them hung on the tree miserably. Philip laughed at the scene. These people had always treated Ronan as a pushover when, in fact, Ronan was a force to be reckoned with. None of them was a match for him. “I know that other than my uncle, some other people were also involved in harming my mother, but I don’t know who they are. You'd better hand them over or no one will leave this place alive today.” Ronan’s killing intent was very intense. He was clearly very angry. Everyone panicked and looked around carefully, at a loss for what to do. They saw the fear in each other’s eyes. The family head had taken Ronan's uncle and some other people to a city. It was difficult for them to find a decision-maker when the elders were not around. The instigator from back then was not around either. Who else could they look for? “Calm down. This matter has nothin
Ronan’s uncle did not hesitate to force his elder sister to her death just to kick the most promising descendant out of the family. This grudge was unforgivable. Everyone laughed at Ronan’s audacity to seek revenge. Only a fool would dare to do that. “Do you know how powerful your uncle is?” “Although he’s not here now, he’s not someone you can afford to mess with.” Everyone mocked Ronan without taking him seriously at all. “Did you hear what I said?” Ronan scowled. These people kept disregarding his request and paid no attention to him. He felt very upset. “Since you won’t hand him over, I’ll beat you until he appears. If he’s not here, other people can take his place.” He knew that his uncle was quite powerful and would often go to other towns or cities for networking. While it was true that he might not be around, it did not mean that Ronan would not make trouble for the others. Everyone looked at Ronan arrogantly, waiting to see what Ronan would do. Suddenly, Rona
The guards were taken aback by Ronan’s sudden arrogance and looked at him doubtfully. “What’s up with you? Do you want to take action?” “After all these years, have you finally decided to avenge your mother?” They kept taunting Ronan without realizing how angry he was. “I repeat—I want to see the people who forced my mother to her death back then!” Ronan stomped his foot in anger and glared at everyone around him. The guards were startled because they finally felt Ronan’s strength with that stomp. They did not expect him to be that strong. Maybe because of Ronan’s fury, they finally realized his might and quickly scrambled into the manor. Philip saw the name on a plaque—Claude Manor. The place looked pretty imposing, and Philip felt a stab of longing as he looked around. Philip stood without a word. His main objective was to help Ronan. The guards ran away in a panic. They knew that Ronan was going to make things difficult for them. “It’s bad. Ronan is at the door
The man could not resist because he was alone. Next time, he would bring more people to deal with Philip. Philip saw his resentment but took no notice of it. No matter how much he resented Philip, he would not survive tonight. Such an arrogant and domineering person would not live to see the sun tomorrow. “Y-You hit him?” Ronan looked at Philip in disbelief, shocked that Philip would stand up for him. Although he usually appeared simple and kind, he was not a fool. He knew that Philip hit that guy to protect him. “If you meet such people again, just fight them and don’t worry about unnecessary things. You don't want to fight because you’re afraid of losing the right to enter the town, but you’re my brother from now on. “I can take care of your wine supply, and we can find other ways to make money. You don’t have to waste your efforts and live under someone else's roof anymore,” Philip said arrogantly, not taking these people seriously at all. Hearing that, Ronan nodded with
