Martha also panicked, especially when she saw Philip's furious expression just now.‘What’s with this wimp’s change of attitude recently? He even dared to talk back to me a couple of times.’Eric was beyond joyful. He had not fully pulled out his bag of tricks and the Johnston family already started fighting among themselves.It seemed that Martha really disliked Philip. He could take advantage of this.Martha glared at Philip, pulled Charles, and went into the compound.Samantha was long gone. She was by Paula's side. Her eyebrows were twitching as she observed this slapstick coldly.‘Wynn, oh Wynn, you have such a sad life. You married a good-for-nothing.’Samantha muttered a few words in her heart and was about to turn around and go in.However, when Wynn led Philip to enter, Eric stopped them again."Wynn, as I said just now, Philip is not worthy of entering the door of the Yates family!" Eric's nostrils were tilted upward. He looked very arrogant.In his eyes, Philip was
Philip sat next to Wynn and naturally noticed Eric and Aaron walking over. They had a devious smile on their faces.“Philip, why are you sitting in the outer courtyard near the door? This is where I used to feed my dog.”Eric looked at Philip and smirked coldly. There was a glint of sarcasm in his eyes.Wynn’s face went red. She wanted to stand up but a huge hand stopped her.Philip smiled calmly. “The outer courtyard and the hall are the same. It depends on who’s the one sitting at which location to eat. Plus, the hall belongs to the Yates. I don’t care for it.”Philip had been holding in for so long. He did not mind being arrogant for a bit.Most importantly, Eric was too hateful. He just had to create something out of nothing.“Hehe, you’re really something else. You even know how to brag. You’re just a piece of trash. We’re doing charity by letting you eat on a table in the house with the rest of the Yates. Do you understand, you worthless wretch?!” Eric scoffed. Jess frow
Everyone looked over in the direction of the voice.Old Master Yates was staring at Philip. His face was icy. Anger rose from his body as he yelled, “Get out of the Yates Manor if you dare to hit him!”At this moment, the outer courtyard was filled with people. They did not try to help. They did not even tell them to stop. They were just standing at one side while watching what was going on.When they saw Old Master Yates, everyone stood at one side in fear. They all lowered their heads silently.He was the head of the Yates. Who would dare to provoke him?If they offended Old Master Yates, they should just get out of Riverdale.Philip was done for!Under everyone’s respectful gazes, Old Master Yates approached the two men while his cane clacked on the floor loudly. He was radiating with anger. He lifted his cane and swung it at Philip’s hand that was raised mid-air.Smack!Philip was in pain. His entire right arm was numb.“You unbridled piece of trash! How dare you hit Eric
Buffer?Jess looked at Philip in confusion. There was no hint of tomfoolery on his face.What did he mean?Did he know who Buffer was?He was the god of investment!He had hundreds of billions worth of assets and was among the top in Forbes’ list of billionaires in the world!A person like him was looked up to by so many people. Could she meet him just like that?“Philip, you’re getting used to talking big, huh?”Hence, Jess thought that Philip was joking. She rolled her eyes at him and proceeded to ignore him.If Philip knew what Jess was thinking about right now, he would be laughing his head off.Was Buffy so great?He only had that amount of assets because Philip asked him to keep them for him.He shook his head helplessly and let out a bitter laugh. Then, Philip walked out of the courtyard and came to a more secluded place. He took out his phone and found Buffer’s number after a long while. After that, he gave him a call.In a flash, a respectful yet excited voice sou
Jess got up when it was her turn. She looked at Wynn and Philip before sighing.“Grandpa, this is the acceptance letter from Harvard. I’m going for my Ph.D.” Jess took out an acceptance letter.This was the top student’s gifting method. She was so f*cking low-profile!Harvard!The best educational establishment!Bob was so happy that his eyes turned into two lines. He took over the letter and started praising repeatedly, “Splendid! My eldest son’s daughter never disappoints me. There’s going to be a superwoman among the Yates!”Hahaha!Everyone started to compliment Jess.Bob gave her a red packet which she accepted as well. Then, under the expecting gazes of everyone, Ted got up after having been sitting the entire time. He walked empty-handed in front of the old master and said calmly, “Grandpa, I was in a rush when I came here, so I didn’t bring anything.”Everyone was shocked after they heard that.Did not bring anything?This was not something Ted would do.Peter was
Everyone at the birthday party was looking at Wynn with contempt and disdain in their eyes.Eric and Aaron’s gifts that were presented moments before were extremely valuable.Then, Ted announced the shocking news of attaining the Oasis development project at the south of Riverdale.He would be making 500 million for the Yates!Now, it was Wynn’s turn. What gift would her family be presenting today?Martha sat on her seat, extremely nervous. She saw what Wynn was holding. It was the box that Philip had previously given to her.If Wynn gave that thing to her father, it would be the biggest joke of the century.Everyone would look at them as if they were fools!Eric stared at Wynn with mockery on his face. He looked at the small box in her hands and the smirk on his face got wider. He lifted his eyebrow and said, “Cousin, it’s Grandpa’s 70th birthday today. Are you really going to give this tiny box to him? What valuable item can it hold?”Eric snorted in his head. He saw with hi
‘Wait for my signal. I don’t like the Yates.’ Philip replied to the message in secret and put away his phone.George was over at the chairman’s office in Apex Group. After he got the message, he lifted his eyebrow and asked his secretary to announce this.As long as Philip opened his mouth, he would make sure to bankrupt the Yates.These blind fools must have crossed the young master.“Philip, what are you doing?” Wynn noticed Philip had been playing with his phone the entire time, which is why she asked curiously.“Oh, it’s nothing. Professor Turner told me he’ll arrange Mila’s surgery for next Wednesday,” Philip replied.“Really?” Wynn was excited. She grabbed onto Philip’s hand emotionally.Mila was her everything. Which mother would want to see their own child suffer?“Yeah.” Philip patted the back of Wynn’s hand lovingly.“Hey, did you hear that the Oasis development project in the south of Riverdale was developed by the richest man in Riverdale, George Thomas? Ted’s maki
An investment of one billion bucks!All of the Yates’ assets were just worth 700 to 800 million bucks!Adding in Bob’s own company with Samson and Ted’s company, they only had a little over a billion!This investment of one billion bucks came out of nowhere!How would he not be excited?Bob stood up excitedly and widened his eyes. He asked while gasping for air, “What… What did you say? Say it again!”“Old Master, we got an investment of one billion dollars!” the middle-aged man finally wiped his sweat and said with the same excitement.In an instant, Bob’s face turned red. He lifted his head and guffawed at the sky. “Wonderful! The Yates family is finally going to enter high society! An investment of one billion dollars! Go and find out who was the one who invested in us. We have to invite them here and take good care of them!”This person must be an extremely rich billionaire.He had to treat him with respect.Bob was ready to invite them here himself.The middle-aged man
Carlos thought Philip would do something to him, but Philip simply handed him something he took out of his pocket. “Try practicing this technique.” After Philip handed him the item, he stared at Carlos, waiting for the result. Carlos was relieved to hear it. He had thought Philip was going to do something to him, but it turned out that Philip simply wanted Carlos to try a technique out. Carlos smiled and shook his head. “We can’t practice other techniques different from our own unless someone can make improvements to our existing technique. Only then do we have the chance to learn something new. But do you know how difficult it is to improve a technique?” Carlos smiled helplessly. Their people had been trying to improve their technique forever. After all, the side effects of the technique were simply annoying, but it was easier said than done. Their predecessors had been studying it for years but to no avail. They had no choice but to give up. Now, only one elder was resp
“Since she’s one of your people, she can stay, but don’t try to do anything,” Philip said. Philip glanced at the holy maiden. Before he could say anything else, something appeared in his mind. It was the technique she practiced. Philip had no idea what happened. He had merely glanced at her when her technique appeared in his mind. Although it was weird, Philip did not think it was a bad thing. Instead, he was happy. He knew that it was a special ability. Thinking of this, Philip was in a good mood. He went back to his room after excusing himself. He wanted to study the technique carefully. It would be best if he could discover something. The holy maiden watched indignantly as Philip left. Jamie knew that Celeste’s biggest advantage was her looks. She was so beautiful that the holy maiden felt the pressure. “Stay here with peace of mind and treat it as your own home. No need for formalities,” Celeste said to them with a smile as if she were the mistress of the house. Jam
Philip waved his hand. That was not what he meant. At this time, Celeste walked out of her room. She had fallen in love with cooking and always immersed herself in the kitchen, figuring out different recipes. In the past, Celeste lived alone in the gloomy forest without freedom or friends. After meeting Philip, she became more vibrant. Celeste would feel a sense of achievement whenever Philip ate the food she cooked. Seeing her, Philip greeted Celeste and introduced the visitors to her. “I don’t need a maid. I already have someone to take care of the household chores. Thank you for your kindness,” Philip said with a smile. Celeste had been doing a good job, so Philip did not think he needed another woman to take care of him. The more women around, the more trouble there would be. The holy maiden froze in surprise at the sight of such a beautiful woman around Philip. Although she was not ugly, she had to live with this ugly appearance until her marriage because of that nas
“That’s enough. Stop talking about me. You might as well think about how to deal with Hogster and the others. The Hexa Guild will definitely come after you.” Philip greeted Jamie calmly without taking the incident seriously at all. Seeing his reaction, Jamie thought that Philip was more and more unfathomable. The Hexa Guild was making a big fuss over this case. Many guilds had accepted the Hexa Guild’s gifts and now stood in opposition to the Celestial Palace. Although this matter had nothing to do with those guilds at all, they accepted the Hexa Guild's gifts in exchange for hyping the news up. It would be best if the two guilds fought. Maybe they could take advantage of the situation in the process! The other major guilds were waiting to watch the excitement too. They hoped that the Celestial Palace would be affected by this incident and it would maybe result in them losing the guild competition. Philip was also quite interested in the guild competition but was more curious
“Vanna mentioned that you enjoy drinking, so I prepared some fine wine for you.” Ronan said it so smoothly that he must have practiced it. Jamie was surprised to see Ronan taking a bottle of wine from his pocket, not at the wine itself. It proved that Ronan had a storage space. Thinking of this, Jamie felt better. Since Ronan had a storage space, he had to have a strong backing. Carlos had determined from various aspects that Ronan was a man with good character. In that case, Jamie had nothing more to worry about, and he could feel at ease again. “We’re about to hold a competition between the guilds. You can join us if you’re interested. Since you’re already part of us, you should do your best. If you can win the competition, I’ll consider officially acknowledging your identity.” Jamie seemed like a gentle and easygoing person. Ronan was excited by his words. He never dreamed that he would have the opportunity to be acknowledged. Ronan thought that he was unworthy of Vann
Jamie was startled. He never thought that someone would speak to him in this manner. With his high and mighty status, everyone spoke to him politely except Carlos. He was not used to someone treating him so frivolously. “I'm here to look for someone,” Jamie said with a smile. The rabbit meant no harm, so Jamie did not have to act like a domineering guild leader. Rabbit stepped aside. “Of course, I know you’re here to look for someone. There’s no other reason to be here otherwise. It's just a matter of whether you can see them.” Rabbit hopped away. He just wanted to see if it was a good or bad guy. After all, troublemakers would be taught a good lesson. Carlos walked out calmly with a teacup. He had fallen for the taste of tea. Philip’s tea was simply perfect. He would feel a fluctuation in his strength after drinking it. He was ecstatic at the discovery and was unwilling to return to the guild now. Taking a sip, he realized that someone familiar was standing at the door and
“I’m surprised that the Celestial Palace would be so shameless. Since they refuse to do things my way, they shouldn't blame me for doing this.” Alain decided to make good use of this incident to guilt-trip the Celestial Palace. He told his people to spread the news of the Celestial Palace to the public. All of a sudden, everyone knew that the young lady of the Celestial Palace had married another man without consent. The incident caused an uproar, and everyone was talking about it. It was one of the most explosive pieces of news in the world of practitioners. The Celestial Palace was a large guild that valued the personal conduct of their guild members. A member would be punished for doing such a thing, but their young lady had rebelliously chosen to be with a man of unknown origins. The news was all hyped up, and everyone waited to watch the excitement. Of course, the people of the Celestial Palace heard the news too. The guild leader scowled upon receiving it. He did not th
Sure enough, Alain was very angry. He stared at Dennis in disbelief, surprised at his defeat. “How did you end up losing? Is he really as strong as the rumors said? I refuse to believe that a little brat can bring you any harm!" Alain subconsciously felt that Dennis had not done his best. Alain was sure that Dennis was being overdramatic. Dennis had always been a powerful god of war. This unexpected outcome was simply impossible. Thus, he felt that Dennis had not done his best to fulfill his duty. “Although I only exchanged one move with that young man, I could easily tell his level. I could feel that he’s more talented than Hogster. I believe it’ll be a great help for us if we can take him under our wing.” Dennis was doing it for the benefit of the guild. It would be an advantage to the guild if they could get Ronan. However, his words infuriated Alain instead. He was angry at Dennis’ stupid suggestion. “Ronan is clearly not the same as us. No matter how strong he is, he
Although Dennis could not be bothered with Hogster, he had to fight for the chance to recruit Ronan. However, Ronan shook his head. “I already have Philip, so you can forget about it. So, do you still want to fight? I don't mind showing you my strength.” Ronan had simply executed a casual move just now, so it could not be considered a full-blown display of his powers. If Dennis still wanted to fight, he would oblige. Dennis shook his head. He could clearly tell that he was no match for Ronan. Although he wanted to teach Ronan a lesson, he would only end up tragically if he went ahead with it. He did not doubt that Ronan could easily crush him. “Please excuse our intrusion today.” Dennis bowed to Ronan and left without another word. He did not want to stay in this unpleasant place any longer. He was the third elder, a person of high status. Not to mention suffering an easy defeat, but he also had to apologize to the person who defeated him, which was simply woeful. The perso
