Madame Red pursed her lips in a smile and said, “If I’m hearing correctly, isn’t he just a young kid from out-of-town? Jowin Benson may be willing to become his lackey but I am not.” Fred nodded. His gaze shifted to Kris and the man in a suit. He asked, “Kris, Oscar, what do you think?” At this moment, Kris Bush and Oscar Gibbs exchanged a glance. Kris thought about it and said hesitantly, “Fred, I think we should consider this matter from a long-term perspective. If I’m not mistaken, Master Milo must have been the one who asked you to take action this time. If even Master Milo can’t handle this matter, do you think we can?” Fred scowled and said coldly, “In Flower City, there’s nothing I can’t do! Are you doubting my strength now?” While saying that, the corner of Fred's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. Kris Bush used to be Fred’s strategist. Before making any big or small decisions, he would discuss them with Kris. However, in recent years, Kris’ working style an
This was a plan three years in the making. Three years ago, Kris lost Fred’s trust and was gradually ostracized. The other three also had their own agenda and made arrangements of their own. Half an hour later. Fred and the other five people’s cars had already arrived at the entrance of the hotel where Philip was staying! Behind their cars were more than a dozen black SUVs! Bang, clatter! The car doors opened and dozens of ferocious-looking thugs armed with weapons jumped out of the cars. They stood on both sides of the road, bowing and respectfully waiting for the first few cars ahead to open the door. At the same time, a steady stream of thugs with baseball bats and other weapons also emerged from both sides of the long street to gather at the hotel’s entrance. These were Fred’s people. Of course, the manpower belonging to his five lieutenants also emerged from the surrounding streets. At a glance, the place was packed to the brim for a few hundred meters! It
Meanwhile, Fred and his five lieutenants had arrived at the door of Philip’s suite. Fred swaggered into the suite and saw Philip standing in front of the large French windows with his hands behind his back and a faint smile on his lips. He looked very young. Was he the Philip Clarke who Milo Dunley wanted to get rid of? He was too young! At the same time, he also saw Jowin Benson standing next to Philip. He said with a sneer, “Hehe, Jowin, there are talks outside that you’ve become someone’s lackey. I thought it was a rumor but it seems to be true. You really are a disgrace to the six lords of Flower City.” Fred was arrogant. He paid no attention to Philip at all, his focus completely on Jowin. In Fred’s perception, Philip was no more than a strong figure from out-of-town. Although he had some strength and means, he could never overpower the local forces of Flower City! He was still most apprehensive of Jowin Benson. What if the mastermind behind the scenes was Jowin?
After saying this, Fred sneered. “Young man, things are complicated in Flower City. Do you, an outsider, think you can cause such a commotion on someone else’s territory? Now that I’ve given you the conditions, you only have ten minutes to consider.” After saying that, Fred raised his hand and made a gesture. An underling behind him pulled out the long dagger from his back and threw it on the floor. A clatter resounded throughout the private room. Upon seeing this, Jowin was furious. He pointed at Fred and shouted, “Fred Able, are you not taking me seriously? Do you think that you’re the only one who has brought people here?” As he said that, dozens of vans and sedans swarmed toward the hotel that was already being surrounded by Fred’s people. Thugs with baseball bats and long daggers jumped down from the cars, surrounding Fred’s people! Instantly, the situation around the hotel changed! Two groups of people occupied two sides of the hotel, forming a confrontation! As f
Hearing this, Homer was obviously agitated. His eyes widened as he asked, “What did you say? Jowin Benson is there too?” “Yes, Master Benson led his men and confronted Fred’s men at the ground floor of the hotel. The situation at the scene is very uncertain right now,” the underling said breathlessly. Homer’s expression crumbled instantly. He clasped the back of his hands and turned to Milo as he said, “Milo, what do you think we should do now? Jowin is really determined to help Philip. Did we make the wrong move? If Jowin and Fred’s people really go up against each other, Flower City will definitely fall into a catastrophe.” This was the last thing Homer wanted to see. If that was the case, the situation would be out of control! Milo’s expression was cold, and he frowned. He looked at the subordinate and asked, “Get the car ready. Let’s go there too. I want to see with my own eyes what means this Philip Clarke has!” After that, they quickly left the villa and drove to the vi
Fred frowned as he turned his head and roared at the five people, “Are you deaf? Make a move!” “Fred, you’ve lost,” Oscar Gibbs said helplessly at this moment. These words made Fred’s heart tremble. With a face full of doubts, his gaze swept over the five people as he asked, “What do you mean I’ve lost? You betrayed me?” Kris stood out at this time and Fred was overjoyed. It seemed that Kris was still loyal to him. He thought about the previous rumors and felt that they must have been instigated by others. For this reason, Fred laughed and said, “Very well, Kris is still loyal to me! Kris, I was wrong in the past. Once this matter is over, you can come back.” However, just after Fred said this, Kris walked straight past him under his shocked gaze. Kris stood in front of Philip, bowing and saying, “Young Master Clarke, everyone has been arranged and is at your disposal.” Fred was dumbfounded! He could hardly believe his eyes! Kris actually called Philip ‘Young Master Cla
Fred’s face was ashen at this moment. His pupils trembled as he glared angrily at Philip and the others! Damn it! He had walked right into the trap! He did not expect that even the hidden forces he had prepared for ten years were dealt with overnight! Fred sneered and said, “Indeed, you’re not an ordinary person. I didn’t expect that an experienced person like myself would fall for a trap laid out by a junior like you! But don’t think that I’d be afraid of you just because you’ve caught them! The hotel has been surrounded by my people! All of them will listen to my instructions and act accordingly! At most, we’ll just perish together!” Philip shook his head indifferently as he looked at the furious Fred. “Perish together? I’m afraid you won’t have that chance.” Fred was puzzled. His expression tensed as he asked, “What do you mean?” Philip shrugged and said, “You can see for yourself what’s going on around the building.” Fred was flustered. He hurried to the window and
Milo Dunley was also full of shock at this moment. He thought that Fred was more than capable enough to handle the situation. Now that he had seen part of Philip's strength with his own eyes, however, his heart was full of dismay! This sort of formidable method was really not something he could deal with! This group of combatants alone was not something Milo could easily get his hands on! “Homer, don’t panic. The situation isn’t out of our control yet,” Milo said solemnly before he said to the driver, “Go back first. We need to come up with another plan!” With that said, the car quickly left the hotel. After Milo and the rest returned to the villa, their expressions were very ugly. Homer looked as though he had fallen into a pool of water as beads of cold sweat had covered his forehead. Hector also started to panic and cried out, “Dad, what should we do now? Will those people come and catch us? I don’t want to be caught by them! You need to send me out of the country! I d
Anyone with any ideas could only shake their heads helplessly after hearing Philip’s remarks. At the same time, they were amazed by the ring’s function. “Wow, that’s great. The person who made this thing must be a genius!” Cameron clapped his hands excitedly. Of course, he was worried that someone would steal his treasure. After all, owning a treasure was a sin in itself. It was inevitable for others to covet his treasure. It would be bad if they attacked him because of greed. With Philip’s explanation, his trouble would be reduced. “That sounds amazing.” The patriarch of the Lamy family seemed dissatisfied. He had some crooked thoughts too. With their family’s financial resources, they could not buy so many rings, so he planned to steal the other two as well. He was not that stupid to steal from Philip, so he could only set his sights on the other major families. Everyone wanted the rings anyway. As long as he refused to admit it, no one would know that he was guilty.
It was too much to use half of the family's assets and properties in exchange for one storage space. “Are you sure about this? Do you know how much that would cost?” “The Lamy family must be crazy to go all out for this treasure!” Everyone complained helplessly. They might be in trouble if the Lamy family insisted on doing it this way. “I know you guys can’t afford it, so stop wasting your time. The Lamy family has made an offer. If you can up the price, go ahead. Don’t stop us from buying that treasure!” the patriarch of the Lamy family said smugly. He felt that his offer was high enough and no one could afford it, so this thing would definitely belong to him. Even Ronan was surprised by this development. He had heard of the Lamy family before. Ronan had worked for the Lamy family before, but their attitude toward him was the same as that of other families—indifferent and disdainful. Therefore, Ronan had the same bad impression about everyone. The Lamy family was not
Rather than saying that they were unwilling to believe it, it was more likely that they did not dare to believe it. Ronan calmly put the ring aside. “I'm wearing a ring that looks better than the ones you're about to get. Watch this.” After saying that, Ronan demonstrated to everyone what a real storage space could do. Anything he took in his hand vanished and appeared at will, which looked simply amazing. Everyone was jealous at this scene. They stared at Ronan’s hands nervously, trying to see if he was performing a magic trick or showing off the storage ring. After Ronan's many demonstrations, they finally confirmed that Ronan was not lying. Everything was true. Everyone exclaimed in amazement. “Wow, I can’t believe that I really saw a storage space in action!” “It’s amazing!” “I have to get hold of one!” Although Sadie had been dealt a heavy blow, she hid in a corner and observed the situation instead of leaving. She wanted to see how things would develop. When S
“Heh, look at those crazy family patriarchs. They can't wait to suck up to Ronan! Do you think they’ll question the Claude family after hearing about the storage space? They’ll only turn up in person to find out about it! “With so many of them putting pressure on us, what do you think we can do? Now, we may not even get that amazing storage space because there are too many people competing with us!” Cameron was furious and almost passed out in anger because of this stupid woman. Sadie scowled at the yard in disbelief as she realized that the crowd causing the commotion was the patriarchs of the other major families. She thought that they were servants sent by the families, but everything was different from what she imagined. “How did this happen? I planned everything perfectly. We just need to throw the wool over their eyes. Things shouldn't have turned out like this!” Sadie almost had a mental breakdown at this bad news. “No way. This is impossible…” Seeing the family
“Forget it. I won't talk to you anymore. I want to claim the credit for what I’ve done!” Sadie quickly turned and left. The butler wanted to stop her, but she vanished before he could say anything. In the end, he remained silent. “The plan really backfired on her. Unfortunately, she can only blame it on her bad luck.” The butler knew the situation the family was facing now. Their residence would probably be turned upside down. The Claude family could have owned a storage space, but everything was ruined now. Not only would they fail to get one, but others would also humiliate them! Sadie quickly arrived at the yard and rolled her eyes at the crowd. “Dad, over here!” Sadie beckoned her father excitedly as if she had great news for him. Cameron was very anxious at this point and wished he could find a solution. When Sadie called him, he thought his solution had appeared. He rushed over and looked at Sadie curiously. “What’s up? Is there any good news?” He was very excited
Everyone was excited to hear that Ronan had those legendary items. It was great. “Our family has to get one!” The patriarch of the Lamy family was the most excited. The members of this family had always been strong-headed and were determined to get it. The other families were unhappy to hear that. They were not that bad either, so they were annoyed by that high-handed remark. “All the major families are powerful in our own rights. I think there’s no need to conclude so quickly.” “I agree. I’m afraid you’ll hide and cry if you fail to get one. That'll be embarrassing.” “Even the major families are not confident about this. Who do you think you are to get it?” Everyone targeted the swell-headed Lamy family even though they were indeed big and powerful enough to steal the treasure from them. The Claude family was the most excited yet regretful. Instead of feeling happy that the families were bickering with each other, they were worried. Although the families were fighting
Besides, Philip mentioned that he would help Ronan make a name for himself. The storage rings that Philip provided were quite meager, with only 30 to 70 cubic feet of storage space each. However, that did not stop Ronan from admiring Philip. He knew that Philip had various treasures, but he was willing to share them with Ronan, which was too generous for words. To prevent Ronan from getting the short end of the stick, Philip also provided some common things for doing business. Due to this, Ronan wanted to serve Philip. In their world, the best way to express gratitude was to acknowledge the other party as their master. It was not only to seize the opportunity but also to find a good roof over their head. Thinking of this, Ronan did not dare to call Philip his brother anymore. Ronan decided to approach Philip at night and find a way to acknowledge him as his master so that he could serve Philip wholeheartedly. Philip had no idea about Ronan’s thoughts. He was still think
Everything Rabbit owned, including the storage space and various treasures, was given by Philip. So, Rabbit could come up with some amazing things for these people to please him. Rabbit felt very proud of this accomplishment. “Ahem, everyone, follow me! I know you’re eager to see Philip, but you have to follow the rules. Don't be as rude as the Claude family!” Rabbit said calmly. He was very unhappy with the Claude family. Hearing that, members of the Claude family were livid. They were shocked by Rabbit's words. He was deliberately putting them down! Those remarks were likely to affect their status among the major families. That off-handed tone might cause other major families to reject them. “I’m surprised that this family would be so arrogant and disrespect you!” “How could they treat that precious storage space so carelessly? I say, those people are too bold to disregard such a valuable treasure!” “This family is stupid and arrogant. Let's ignore them to avoid any ass
However, Cameron and his people were arrogant enough to lock Philip up. How dare they?! “Cameron, you went too far!” “I never knew that the Claude family were such people. I really misjudged you before. You’re really too much for treating such an amazing person that way.” Everyone pretended to be angry and kept speaking up for Philip, trying to please Rabbit and indirectly please Philip. Cameron was startled by Rabbit’s words, which easily landed him in trouble. “No, that's not exactly the case. I didn't lock Philip up but gave him a place to stay. How would I dare to lock up such a powerful person? You really think too highly of me.” However, Cameron’s explanation was useless. Everyone believed that Cameron locked Philip up on purpose, so they wanted to get him into trouble. Whether Cameron locked Philip up or treated Philip as a valuable guest, they wanted to ruin Cameron’s reputation. Once they got rid of Cameron, they could focus on pleasing Philip. “You must be
