“Homer Pharmaceutical, return my hard-earned money! You bunch of cheaters!” “Homer Pharmaceutical has victimized old helpless people like us. They say we can live up to 99 years old if we use their health care products. But now, several of my friends have been hospitalized after taking their products!” “The chairman of Homer Pharmaceutical, Homer Dunley, once promised us that we can get dividends if we buy their health care products—like buying shares. Now that we’re here for the dividends, they’re giving us all kinds of reasons and excuses. They even got hooligans from the streets to drive us away. Sometimes, those people even lay a hand on old men and women like us!” Hundreds of elderly people appeared on the camera. They were standing in the cold wind, frantically condemning Homer Pharmaceutical. Seeing this scene, Homer could not help but smash the remote control in his hand. Then, he picked up the phone, dialed the number of the general manager of the local news channel, a

The instant he heard this name, Homer was stunned! Philip Clarke? How could it be? That man only had some influence in Uppercreek. How could it reach Charbury? Moreover, Homer Pharmaceutical was one of the top companies here with many supporters behind it. By doing this, it was tantamount to challenging Homer’s patience and prestige, as well as challenging the company’s backers! “Neal, don't you f*cking bullsh*t me right now! How could Philip’s hand reach Charbury?” Homer’s face grew colder with deep resentment in his gaze. To his surprise, Neal grinned and said, “Mr. Dunley, I'm afraid you don’t understand. Your four units of dividends are nothing compared to the benefits they promised me. Besides, it’s also difficult to determine how long Mr. Clarke’s hands can reach. I can only give you a word of advice—don’t be too pretentious and look down on others. This Mr. Clarke is likely to be the jinx in your life.” Hearing this, Homer was very upset. However, he could not be

“Damn it! How dare Neal Pearce pull another trick on me at this point?! Once I regain my foothold, I'll make sure his life is worse than death!” Homer cursed. On the side, Hector could not help but say at this moment, “Dad, that Neal Pearce is nothing but a cunning fox. I never had a good impression of him before. But he has so much evidence against us in his hands, what should we do? Why don’t we expose him first? That way, that old fogey won’t have the chance to deal with us.” Homer pondered before saying, “Nonsense! What a lousy idea! Even though he’s done this to us, we can’t retaliate this way! You have to remember that Neal Pearce is not the only one who has a partnership with our family. If we expose him at this time, what will our other partners think?” Homer was still rational and knew that this absolutely must not happen. Otherwise, not only would he lose Homer Pharmaceutical but he and his son would also be ruined! “Then what should we do now? If this and that won'

Hearing this, Neal immediately said with indignation, “Mr. Dunley, as you know, we’re talking about 30 million dollars right now. If you want me to take the money without doing anything, won’t that be wrong of me?” Milo sneered and said, “You can still do what you need to do, but I’m just saying that you can delay the timing a little. You can broadcast the incident about Homer Pharmaceutical three days later. Now, tell those reporters of yours to withdraw. It’s not like the party behind you wants you to bring down Homer Pharmaceutical tonight, right?” Neal was taken aback, and his eyes darted about. What Milo said made sense. It was certainly possible. If he did things this way, he would not offend the Dunleys nor Philip. This was the best of both worlds. After thinking about it, Neal's heart began to waver. When he was hesitating, Milo spoke again, “Neal, since you’re in Flower City, you should understand what kind of place Charbury is. Here, the Dunley family is king. If yo

Seeing the frown on his father’s face, Hector smiled and said, “Dad, what are you thinking about? Stop worrying. Hasn't the matter been resolved for now? We have three days. Besides, with Seventh Uncle around, who dares to do anything to our family?” “Fool! Don't you understand by now?” Homer glared at Hector angrily and shouted, “30 million dollars! Can you take out 30 million dollars to squander just like that? Moreover, the other party bought off Neal Pearce in just a few minutes. What kind of strength and means does it take to act so quickly within the boundaries of Flower City in Charbury?” Hearing this, Hector was also taken aback. Yes, it was 30 million dollars. If he spent all that money just like that, he would be heartbroken. Moreover, the other party directly bought Neal off within ten minutes after talking to his father. It could be seen that his strength was not to be underestimated. Hector thought about it and said with a snigger, “Dad, maybe he just knows Neal?

Hector shook his head and said, “I didn’t find out anything. The four enforcers of the Nonagon this time are different from those before. They’re keeping information on the direct access spot under a tight lid. Many families ran around asking about it but no one got any definite news. However, I have a friend who heard from the grapevine that the direct access spot this time has already been taken.” Hearing this, Homer asked in surprise, “It’s been taken? Have you found out who it is? What price did the other party pay?” Hector still shook his head and said, “Since this is a rumor, how can I find out? As for the price, it hasn’t been revealed yet but it’s at least ten billion dollars.” “Ten billion?” Homer’s face darkened as he exclaimed. Ten billion was not a small amount! Even Homer Pharmaceutical was only worth over a billion dollars. If he put together all his family assets, it would only total to about two or three billion dollars. It was far from enough. It seemed t

Was this a joke? 50 million dollars? His company’s market value was only over a billion. 50 million dollars was equivalent to cutting one of his arms off! If they accepted all the refund requests, what would they do tomorrow? Continue to process refund requests? In that case, his company would go bankrupt immediately! Homer finally realized the severity of this problem and quickly asked, “What the hell is going on? Why are so many people coming to ask for refunds? Is there a problem with our product? Isn't it just an ordinary tranquilizer?” Homer Pharmaceutical was in the business of health care products. Their medicine was neither good nor bad, it was just a normal tranquilizer. It would indeed have some effect on the elderly, but they would not live to 99 years old. Besides, these lonely old people were easy to cheat. As long as their salespeople said some flattering words and visited them a few times, the deal was done. Moreover, they had rebate contracts. Many el

On the other end of the phone, Ernie said tersely, “Master, I’ve arrived in Uppercreek.” “Good!” Homer said coldly, “Find that kid immediately and kill him!” “Understood,” Ernie responded and ended the call. At this moment, he was sitting in the dark car, smoking a cigarette. The scarlet tip of the cigarette looked particularly eye-catching at night. After sitting for a while, Ernie observed the surroundings through the car window. He looked at the hotel where a dozen people were guarding the entrance and looked up. This was the hotel where Philip was staying. According to the young master, his pregnant wife was in this hotel. Menacing intent flashed from the corner of Ernie's eyes. He glanced at the people patrolling around as a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. Such an arrangement could indeed deter many people. However, Ernie was different. He was an expert at assassination, someone who had survived from the edge of the sword. These people arranged b

Sure enough, the pill was nothing special. Apart from appearing quite tasty, the pill had no other effect. It was considered a useless item. “Humans are quite good at making pills. It’d be great if I had that ability too,” Akash said eagerly. He had studied this topic with others before, but they concluded that no other race had the talent to make pills apart from humans. Philip continued chatting with Akash, all the time wondering who he was. He could easily tell whether the other person's face was real or fake. This person did not disguise himself. His face was real. “Philip, I sense something wrong,” Lyle muttered under his breath. He sensed a strange vibe. A strong fishy smell was coming from a distance. Philip immediately recognized the source of the fishy smell. Who else could it be but the ugly elves? Abele was heading to the city with her troops. They knew that attacking these people was a matter of life and death. “We need to watch out. Don’t give them a chance
The First Heir Chapter 5960
At this time, Akash ran over as if he were shocked to hear that sound. “Did you hear a deafening sound just now? I felt uncomfortable all over after that as if something was staring at me!” Akash said in a panic. He was now very jittery and afraid of everything. “Don’t worry, it’s probably an explosion somewhere,” Philip said. Akash was startled as if he could not understand Philip’s meaning. “Explosion? Is it a demon? That’d be very bad!” Akash looked around anxiously, feeling nothing else but panic. “Anyway, this is strange. No one knows what’s happening, so let’s just take it one step at a time. If a demon appears, we have no choice but to face it.” Philip waved his hand, not interested in this topic. They would have to face it, come hell or high water. Akash nodded and sat drinking his cup of tea with a bad premonition lingering in his heart. “Let’s hope you’re right.” Philip sat down and felt that something was wrong with Akash’s reaction. He probably knew something

The captured elves would suffer various hardships and become the humans' pitiful plaything. To prevent it from happening again, Akash forbade his people from stepping into the outside world. Therefore, it was ironic for him to summon his people here. “Find a room and have a good rest while you wait for your people to arrive.” Philip pointed to one of the empty rooms. Akash was exhausted after a long journey. Even though he had drunk a pot of tea, his mental state was not very good. He would collapse very soon without a good rest. Akash nodded. He did not refuse Philip's kindness because he knew he could not hold on much longer. He felt very unhappy at the thought of the upcoming battle.… At this time, the place responsible for imprisoning humans was getting restless as if the barriers were weakening. “Comrades, keep it up. I can feel the barriers weakening. We can leave soon!” A man shouted, and his words motivated everyone. Everyone was excited and worked harder to bre

“That’s great. I knew that our sacred tree would never lie to me. Only you’d dare to help me in this situation.” Akash was moved to tears by Philip’s words. He never dreamed that Philip was willing to help him. “I’ll try to contact the other elf warriors and see if I can summon them. Our combat effectiveness will improve significantly with their help.” Akash went to a corner to contact the elf warriors using a special method. They would sense it if they were still alive. However, he forgot an important thing. Abele was once a member of the family and knew about it too. She could feel the call the same as other warriors. As Akash summoned the warriors, Abele smiled wickedly. She did not expect Akash to summon his people so soon. “This took no effort at all. I was thinking if I should use my bloodline to search for his trace, but he turned up right at my doorstep. How convenient.” Abele found Akash’s location but was puzzled by his choice. “Is he crazy? Why is he in the h

“I have a natural aversion toward demons, so I felt very uncomfortable when I saw Abele, but everyone was in a hurry to leave at that time, so I didn't say anything. Abele probably colluded with the demons to get rid of Akash and his people, so Akash wants to seek help from us.” Everyone nodded at Katie’s analysis and thought she had a point. “Anyway, we’ll find out after a short wait. I’m sure he’ll get here very soon. We can figure out the details if he needs our help.” Philip distributed the precious elf water while calmly waiting for Akash’s arrival. He knew that he owed the elves a favor. Philip was not guilty about taking Akash’s elf water, but he felt embarrassed about Rabbit tricking the elf tree away from the elves. With the elf tree, Philip was not short of elf water. With the help of his pills, the elf tree would recover soon, so the yield would be much higher. Philip felt conflicted at the thought of Akash’s earnest behavior and decided to help if he could after
The First Heir Chapter 5956
As long as Abele had full control over the elf tree, others would have no choice but to believe her identity no matter how ugly or deformed she looked. Now that the elf tree was missing, however, they could not find the elves’ treasure even if they turned the place upside down. “It seems that we can’t spare those people no matter what. You have to do me a favor. We have to find Akash and get the elf tree or all our efforts will be in vain.” Abele gritted her teeth and finally decided to kill Akash.… Meanwhile, Akash had escaped and knew that a great calamity had befallen his family. It was a total disaster. “Luckily, I have the pills from Philip, or I wouldn’t have been able to escape that woman’s clutches.” Akash felt a lingering fear. Although a pill had been taken from him, he felt better now. At least he still had many pills from Philip. “I have no choice but to find Philip next. If he’s unwilling to help me, I’ll have to beg someone else.” Thinking of this, Akash

Akash had been injured by the black energy emitted by Abele. He would be in trouble if he did not heal himself. Seeing this scene, Abele rushed over and snatched the pill from Akash’s hand. Abele had been waiting to get hold of one. “Give it to me.” Abele moved very fast after being possessed by the demon. Akash did not have time to take the pill before Abele snatched it from him. Seeing this scene, Akash looked around for his warriors, but everyone had left. Akash felt relieved. As long as his warriors had fled to safety, he had nothing to worry about. Seeing that Abele was admiring the pill, Akash quickly ran away. It was the best opportunity for him to run. He would have a future as long as he ran. He had to survive before he could make a comeback. Where there was a will, there was a way. Akash was quite good at running and soon vanished from everyone’s sight. Abele scoffed at Akash’s disappearance. Although she did not want to let him go, there was no point in cha

“I think those are pills made by humans. I wonder where he found such powerful pills. Get them for me. I’m very interested in studying them.” At this moment, a voice rang in Abele’s ear, most likely the person behind the scenes. Abele rolled her eyes. Who would not be interested in such a good thing? Everyone wanted to get one but it depended on individual ability. “According to my understanding over the years, even the best potions can't produce such a strong healing effect, not even the potions made by Merlin. These pills are a force to be reckoned with, and I want to get them now. Do something about it. Don’t let me down,” the voice forced Abele to solve the problem. “You know who has the pills. He’s very powerful, and I’m no match for him at all unless you help me.” Abele gritted her teeth and finally suggested. She knew that Philip was a human, so it had to be him. However, Philip had left, and no one knew where he went. In that case, she could only start with Akash.
The First Heir Chapter 5953
They had suffered badly enough over the years, so Abele just wanted to resist. Akash had to die at all costs. Akash watched in sorrow as his warriors fought to their deaths. He wondered where Abele found her reinforcements, but that was not important now. His people were about to surrender, so that question was meaningless now. “Run!” A warrior saw Akash standing in a daze and was filled with panic. He rushed through the attacks and urged Akash to flee. “As long as you’re still alive, the elves will have a chance to make a comeback. No matter what, we can't let the enemies have their way. You have to make a comeback and show them how powerful we are!” The warrior was stabbed several times, but his face was full of determination as if he would never give in to these people. Tears welled up in Akash's eyes. He never thought that his people would say such sorrowful words one day. “I’ll die if you don’t leave now.” The warrior had no choice but to use his death to threaten
