When Jacky Cullen saw this scene, the corners of his eyes twitched with dissatisfaction. He finished his red wine in one big gulp. Damn that Russell Carl for stealing the limelight again! “Jacky, what’s wrong? Are you also upset with that hypocritical act of Russell’s?” On one side, another middle-aged man nudged Jacky with his elbow and asked. Jacky snorted coldly and said, “I just can't get used to the way he looks. It’s as though everything is within his calculations.” “Hehe, I share the same thoughts as you. Russell Carl is our enemy. With him around, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to get any credit in front of Mr. Johnston,” the man took a sip of red wine and said. Jacky frowned, clenched his fists fiercely, and said, “One Russell Carl is not enough to pose a threat.” “Jacky, I have to disagree with you on this. Now, Mr. Johnston has attached more importance to him compared to you. If we don't do something, I'm afraid it won't be long before Russell will drive all of us
Looking at the casket Philip had brought over, Martin shook with anger as his face flushed red. He pointed at Philip and shouted, “You! How dare you act so arrogantly?! Are you disrespecting me? Philip Clarke, don’t forget that I’m Wynn’s second uncle! We’re related by blood! If I tell Wynn that you did this to me, do you think she’ll stand on your side or mine?” Martin was fuming. How dare Philip send him a gift like this? Was this not cursing him to die soon? Bernard also looked angry as he pointed at Philip and shouted, “Insolence! Philip, as a junior, what’s your intention in sending such a gift to your elders? If my eldest brother and sister-in-law find out about this, they’ll definitely punish you severely!” Bernard’s eyes were cold, and his face was full of anger! This damned Philip was too audacious! When the others saw Philip giving such a gift, they were also taken aback for a brief moment. Then, they pointed at Philip and berated angrily, “Chairman Clarke, this is
What did he mean by that? Would he dare to do anything to him? “What do you mean?” Martin asked warily. Philip chuckled and said, “Martin Johnston, my decision has never changed since the beginning. Since you’ve chosen to be Beacon and Wynn’s enemy, you should’ve gotten prepared for my retaliation. As for that secret in your hands, leak it out if you have the guts. Do you dare to make a bet with me? As long as you dare to expose the secret, I’ll kill you!” Martin froze, stunned by Philip’s indifferent appearance and calm attitude. The look in his eyes was terrifying. It seemed that as long as he leaked it out, what awaited him would be death! Hmph! Bernard snorted coldly, pointed at Philip, and shouted angrily, “Philip, don’t be arrogant! Are you treating us like pushovers who’ll be intimidated by a few words? We now own Martin Pharmaceutical and have so many talents. Can you really compete with us? Besides, even if we expose the secret, so what? Do you really dare to k
At this moment, Philip was like a battle god incarnate. His face was chilly, and his pupils reflected a biting killing intent! This sight stunned everyone in the suite! Hiss! What a shocking aura! Was this really the usually wretched Philip Clarke? Too horrifying! Martin was also shocked by Philip’s angry roar. He immediately took two steps back and stammered, “You… What do you want to do?” Philip looked grim. Behind him, Theo waved his hand and a dozen thugs in black suits quickly subdued everyone else. “Let go of us! Who are you to capture us?” “Let go! Theo Zander, what’s the matter with you? You're the kingpin of Riverdale. Why are you acting like a bodyguard for this guy?” “Philip, hurry up and tell them to stop. You’re making an illegal arrest!” Several people bellowed angrily but Theo and his men would not listen at all. They were waiting for Philip’s next orders. At this moment, Philip’s eyes were dark and cold. He glared at Martin in front of him as h
What if they accidentally annoyed Philip and got beaten up as a result? Therefore, all of them chose to protect themselves at the moment. They lowered their heads and were too afraid to speak up, but they still glanced around furtively. With a grave face, Philip stared at Martin whose face was flushed. The man was panting aloud. Philip said coldly, “Martin, I’ve given you many chances but you didn’t know how to appreciate them. I’ve considered using money to make you understand the difference between you and me, but after thinking about it carefully, I think it’s meaningless. It's better for me to personally let you experience the pain so that you may remember it for a lifetime!” After that, Philip directly threw Martin on the coffee table and the entire glass coffee table shattered into pieces! The broken glass stuck to Martin's back, arms, and legs, causing him to grimace in pain! “Aargh! Philip, how dare you do this to me?! I swear I won’t let you off!” Martin shouted. H
Immediately after, miserable screams from the crowd could be heard from the suite. It lasted about ten minutes before Theo wiped his hands with a towel, glanced at the people on the floor, and said, “Deal with it cleanly. Throw them to the next city and let them beg for the rest of their lives.” After that, Theo walked out of the suite and approached Philip who was smoking. He said respectfully, “Mr. Clarke, it’s been dealt with cleanly. Where do you want to go next?” “Go to the media arranged by Martin.” Philip’s face was calm as he exhaled smoke while asking, “Is everything else ready?” Theo nodded and replied, “It’s all ready. Not even a smidgen of Mrs. Clarke’s secret will be leaked. I’ve already contacted all the media in Riverdale. As for Martin’s people, I’ve also sent people to monitor all of them. The signal in the area they’re in has been cut.” Philip nodded, glanced at the suite, and turned to leave. Theo followed closely behind. When Bernard noticed no more
Jim hurried to the nearest computer to take a look. With a twitch of his eye, he said, “F*ck! No internet at this time? What’s going on?” “The neighborhood is being demolished. Could it be that the network cable has been cut?” “Don't worry, just call and ask.” One of them dialed the number of the telecommunication company. After questioning, he replied, “They said there’s no disconnection notice on our side and no one nearby has reported the same problem. It's not the signal.” “How is that possible? Isn't this obviously a case of disconnection?” Someone was anxious. Jim was also anxious as he glanced at the sky outside. His sixth sense gave him a bad feeling as if something was about to happen. “Everyone, check your phones to see if there's a signal,” Jim quickly said as he took out his phone to check. “Holy sh*t, there's no signal on my phone either!” “What the hell is going on here?” Jim saw that there was also no signal on his phone, but he had just answered a call
Jim looked at the information with a solemn expression on his face before he looked up at Philip and asked, “Mr. Clarke, are you sure you want to do this?” Philip nodded and said, “Ten minutes, can you do it? If not, I’ll find someone else. If you can, it’ll offset your blunder.” Jim gritted his teeth, immediately stood up, and said, “Yes, I can!” After that, he said to his subordinates behind him, “Everyone, hurry up! Spread the information on this paper to the entire Riverdale in ten minutes!” Philip did not bother to stay here for long. He simply turned around and left, leaving the rest for Theo to handle. Ten minutes later in the hospital ward Bernard rushed into the ward and shouted, “Martin, something went wrong! Jim betrayed us and was caught by Philip. Moreover, media all over Riverdale are broadcasting news about us embezzling Beacon’s funds. It’s also a trending search on Twitter right now. Even those things about us oppressing people have been dug up. What should
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
