“Okay, we’ll leave this to you,” Milo said before he hung up the phone respectfully. At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief. With a triumphant smile, he said to Homer, “Homer, it’s settled. With Uncle Winston taking action, this matter will come to an end at last.” Homer also let out a breath of relief and fell heavily on the sofa, covered in a cold sweat. It was finally resolved. With Uncle Winston around, no matter how capable Philip was, he should not think of making any waves in Hampton! On the side, Hector also burst out in laughter and said, “Dad, I already told you that everything will be fine. With Fifth Grandpa around, who can do anything to the Dunley family of Flower City?” As he said that, he sat on the sofa swaggeringly, crossed his legs, and picked up an apple to munch on. Homer glared at him fiercely and shouted angrily, “From today onward, you’ll be grounded at home for three months! After this matter is resolved, I’ll send you out of the country!”
The car quickly drove away and headed to the Dunley Group building. In the car, Philip dialed Jowin Benson’s number and asked, “Do you know Winston Dunley?” Jowin was dealing with Fred’s affairs in Flower City at the moment. When he received the call from Philip, he quickly replied, “Winston Dunley? Young Master Clarke, this person is an important figure in the main Dunley family with quite a bit of influence in Hampton. He’s the fifth uncle of Sterling Dunley, the current patriarch of the Dunley family. He's also the current head of the Dunley family of Flower City, the backer behind Homer and Milo Dunley, as well as their uncle.” Philip nodded and said, “Okay, I got it.” Then, he ended the call and said to the man next to him who was on the computer, “Can you contact Winston Dunley?” The computer expert replied, “Yes, one minute.” A minute later, Philip got Winston’s number and made the call directly. The phone rang a few times before it was connected. An old voice from
Hearing that, Winston scowled. At this moment, he had entered the building of the Dunley Group. He took the gilded private elevator and went straight to the upper floor of the building. Of course, it was not the topmost floor. The top floor was the office of Sterling Dunley, the patriarch of the entire Dunley family. His office was on four floors below the top. In fact, the floor level of the Dunley Group building represented the hierarchical status and identity of the owner of the floor in the main Dunley family. Winston Dunley, as the fifth uncle of the patriarch of the main Dunley family, had a lot of status and influence in the Dunley family. Moreover, he was mainly in charge of the Dunley family’s foreign trade and export. At this moment, Winston walked out of the elevator and pushed open the gilded door of his office. He was angry, and with a sneer on his face, he walked to the French windows where he took a cup of coffee from the maid. He said solemnly, “Young man,
“Immediately send some people to Hampton by any means necessary. Whether by air or land, send the most elite combatants and have them use the most advanced equipment. Make sure to protect the young master's safety! If anything happens to him, I’ll hold all of you accountable!” George shouted coldly before hanging up the phone. Just at this moment, one of his subordinates was staring at the computer before he got up and reported, “Mr. Thomas, the other party is trying to use their power to collect information about the young master.” George sneered and said, “Hehe, this bunch of small fries have no idea what real power is! Do people like them have the right to dig out information about the young master? Wishful thinking! Spread out false information about the young master!” “Yes!” Very quickly, everyone started operating. Ten minutes later, Winston’s people found first-hand information about Philip. “Mr. Winston, we got it!” an employee stood up excitedly and exclaimed. Wi
At the entrance of the Dunley Group building, the people who followed Winston out were all dumbfounded as they stared at the scene in front of them! A casket! A very good casket! Was it for Winston Dunley? Who had the audacity to do that? How dare they send a casket to Winston, the fifth uncle of the Dunley family’s patriarch? Hiss! At the scene, everyone looked shocked and no one dared to make a sound. That was because at this moment, Winston’s expression was so cold and his hands were tightly clenched into fists. With his eyes wide open, he stared at the casket placed in front of him. After a while, he suddenly laughed and said, “Very well, this is interesting. A junior actually dares to send such a generous gift to an old man like me. Very interesting, indeed! It has been many years since someone dares to mess with me like this!” After saying that, Winston sneered menacingly. He turned around, waved his hand, and said to the attendants behind him, “Immediately la
Philip turned around, looked at the woman, and said with a smile, “Old George has told me about you. You’ve been very capable.” Maia Harp was the Clarke family’s person in charge of Hampton and also the chief president in Charbury, as arranged by the Clarke family. She was only 28 years old this year but she was already a successful career woman. She was in charge of all the Clarke family’s businesses and staffing arrangements in Charbury. She may be a woman but she was more capable than a man! Otherwise, the Clarke family would not have appointed her as the chief president of the Charbury region. “Thank you for the compliment, Young Master.” Maia smiled, her eyebrows arching like half-crescents. She added, “Butler Thomas has already briefed me about the purpose of your visit to Hampton this time. I’ll definitely carry out your arrangements. Please rest assured in giving me your orders.” Philip nodded and asked, “How much do you know about the Dunley family in Charbury?”
Spencer Dunley. Philip frowned and fell silent. He turned around and looked at the Dunley Group building that seemed to shoot up into the sky. It seemed that he could almost see a figure standing behind a window somewhere on the highest floor, looking back at him too. “If I make a move against the Dunley family, what are my chances of winning?” Philip asked. Maia frowned and thought for a moment before saying, “Based on the assets and personnel you can currently use, only 40%. After all, this is the Dunley family of Charbury, not the Clarke family of Arcadia Island. The strength and power of the Clarke family are weakened by half here. Besides, the Clarke family has a cooperative relationship with the Dunley family. I’m afraid the elders in the family won’t agree if you want to take action against the Dunley family.” “Only 40%?” Philip’s eyes were cold, and there was slight displeasure in his tone. “What if I bypass the Clarke family and strike out against the Dunley family
At that very moment, Philip’s phone rang. It was a call from George. His respectful voice sounded from the other end of the phone. “Young Master, Winston has made a move against the Clarke family in Riversouth and already monopolized half of their partners. Should we continue with the next plan?” “Go ahead,” Philip said coldly. George quickly responded and said, “Young Master, do listen to my advice. For the time being, don’t target the Dunley family. Wait for the people I’ve arranged to arrive in Hampton before you—” However, before George could finish his words, Philip interrupted him and said, “I don’t have much time. Hurry up.” “Yes.” George was helpless. He ended the call and said to the subordinates around him, “Let’s begin.” Not long after Philip ended the call, he received a call from Winston. As soon as the call was connected, Winston's hearty laughter sounded from the other end. He said, “Young man, I’ve received your generous gift. I like it very much. For this,
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
The hooded man was very interested in Rabbit and wanted to make contact with him to find out more about him. He quickly found Philip’s house and was surprised to find that it was surrounded by a barrier that blocked all his perceptions, which made him conflicted. It was not a place he could enter at will. He felt some energy fluctuations from formations too. If he was not mistaken, entering this place would be dangerous for him. After much deliberation, he turned around and left without staying any longer. His visit here was enough to verify his guess. Since Philip could come up with such a powerful formation and barrier, he was certainly a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, Philip was not someone he could deal with so easily. As for Rabbit, the hooded man was not bothered by him at all. He just wanted to know how Philip subdued such a powerful pet. The hooded man had dealt with many monster beasts in the past but failed to subdue any. He had even suffered badly un
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
