On the ground floor of the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce, Liam caught up with Philip with a face full of anger. He grabbed his collar and warned viciously, “I don't care what method you’re using, but I’m telling you that the cooperation with the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce will definitely belong to Martin Pharmaceutical! If you want to fight for that little b*tch Wynn Johnston, you don’t stand a chance! Moreover, the humiliation we suffered will be returned to you tenfold! I will prove to everyone that in the Johnston family, Wynn is not the only capable one; there’s also me, Liam Johnston! Wynn and I will forever be at odds with each other!” The corners of Philip’s eyes froze as he shoved Liam’s wrist away. The force of Philip’s grip instantly caused Liam to groan in pain. “Ah! Let go of me, let go! It hurts!” With cold eyes, Philip said, “Liam Johnston, I advise you not to provoke me! Also, her name is Wynn Johnston, not little b*tch! She’s your cousin! If you insult her ag
Philip chuckled and said, “You want me to meet him? Hoyt, I think you have a personal interest in this.” Hoyt smiled and said, “Young Master Clarke, it seems I can’t hide it from you. The truth is, I want to introduce him to you and get both of you acquainted. This person is very capable and has a sharp mind. He’ll be helpful to Beacon’s future development.” Philip thought about it and said with a nod, “Alright, then. For your sake, I’ll meet up with him.” Soon, the Rolls-Royces arrived at the most famous restaurant in Uppercreek, the Imperial Court. It was definitely the top restaurant in Uppercreek. Those who could come here to eat were the rich and noble. All of them were well-known figures in Uppercreek! Moreover, the Imperial Court practiced a membership system. Anyone with assets of less than 100 million would not be eligible to become a member of the Imperial Court. Meanwhile, a well-known entrepreneur in Uppercreek was standing at the entrance of the Imperial Cour
Soon, they arrived at a private room. The moment the door was pushed open, Finn saw two people standing inside. His eyes fell directly on Philip, who had his back to them. Was that him? Holy sh*t! Who the hell could be so arrogant? Was that the big shot of the day? He was clearly a janitor who picked up garbage from the streets! Finn felt even more upset as he let out a sneer. After Clint entered the door, he quickly walked over to Hoyt and stretched out his hand respectfully with a smile on his face. “Hoyt, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.” Hoyt smiled and stood up. At the same time, Clint’s gaze naturally fell on the young man beside Hoyt. He asked, “This is?” “This is the founder of the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce, Young Master Philip Clarke,” Hoyt introduced with a smile on his face. Young Master Philip Clarke? Clint’s heart trembled even more. He did not expect to meet the founder of the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce, and by the looks of it, he w
Three billion dollars? Holy sh*t! Clint was shocked, and his entire mind went blank! Three billion dollars at one go! Philip was too generous! Was this the financial strength of Young Master Clarke? Terrifying! Simply astounding! “Young Master Clarke, are you sure you want to invest three billion dollars?” Clint was still in a daze and stammered with excitement. It was hard to imagine a wealthy billionaire losing his composure at a time like this. Philip glanced at Hoyt and said, “You can settle it with him. I have something else to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.” After saying that, Philip left the private room. This made Clint stunned for a while. Finally, he realized Hoyt was congratulating him with a smile. “Clint, well done. Young Master Clarke has confidence in you. Come, let’s talk.” As soon as Philip exited the private room, an uncanny voice rang out with some surprise and contempt. “Philip, why are you here?” Philip turned around and saw Li
Philip frowned deeply. He did not want to remain here a second longer and turned sideways to leave. However, Liam still continued relentlessly, “Philip, don’t go. Since we’ve bumped into each other, why don’t I buy you dinner? Of course, it won’t be free. If you bark twice like a dog, dinner is on me. What do you think? It’s a good deal. If you can have a meal in the Imperial Court, you have the right to brag about it for the rest of your life.” Liam had long been upset with Philip. Why should a wastrel like him act so arrogantly? “You can eat here yourself,” Philip said coldly. Liam chuckled, stretched out his hand, and patted Philip on the shoulder. He whispered in his ear provocatively, “Philip, I advise you to stay away from the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce. The cooperation this time will definitely belong to Martin Pharmaceutical. If you dare to approach Director Hoyt Luther again, I won’t let you off!” After saying that, Liam led the group of people and walked directl
Liam was dumbfounded and felt humiliated as if he had been made use of. He realized that Werner was not here for him but just passing by. Liam was disoriented, and his chest felt stuffy. The few rich friends behind him who were dressed very fashionably also kept their mouths shut, but a trace of a sneer appeared in their eyes. “Damn it, what Young Master Clarke? How could he make Werner Peters run out in such a hurry?” Liam muttered and turned to his friends. All of them shook their heads and said with a shrug, “Don’t know, never heard of him.” “Hey, I remember that there was a Young Master Clarke who caused a big commotion some time ago, the one who defeated Fusha during the world tournament. Could it be him?” someone suddenly said. Instantly, everyone nodded and said, “Yes, it’s possible. No, I’m almost certain that’s him!” “Well, should we go and take a look? That guy must certainly not be an ordinary person if Werner Peters came out to greet him in person,” someone
It was a little later in the day. Liam had just met up with his third uncle. Bernard had brought along several secretaries and bodyguards with him to the hotel suite. Bernard was sitting leisurely on the sofa with narrowed eyes. Seeing Liam return with a sullen face, he raised his eyebrows and asked, “What’s going on? How did the negotiation with the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce go? As far as I know, they should be very keen to expand the medical market.” “Uncle Bernard,” Liam lowered his head and greeted. Looking at his appearance, Bernard noticed that something was wrong and asked seriously, “Tell me the truth, you didn't offend Director Luther, did you?” As soon as these words were uttered, the secretaries brought by Bernard shifted their worried eyes to Liam. “Liam, what the hell is going on? Hurry up and say something. What did Mr. Luther say?” Bernard said anxiously. “Uncle Bernard!” Thud! Liam knelt on the floor and cried out to Bernard, “Hoyt Luther refuses
Bernard was stunned. He did not expect the other party to be so angry and hurriedly asked, “Master Eight, what do you mean by that?” Master Eight said angrily, “Bernard, the person you told me to take care of is someone I can’t afford to mess with! You’re pushing me into the fire! I’m telling you, the two of us have never spoken on the phone! Even if something happens to you, don’t ever reveal my name! Otherwise, I’ll kill you!” Click! The call ended. Bernard was confused! A person Master Eight could not afford to mess with? He was second only to the three lords of Uppercreek. He had both people and influence. Such a person just said he could not afford to mess with Philip Clarke? He must be joking! Did Philip have any connections in Uppercreek? Bernard’s face darkened as Liam quickly asked from the side, “Uncle Bernard, what’s wrong? What did Master Eight say?” Liam was full of excitement and anticipation at this moment. He had heard of Master Eight’s fame. He wa
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
