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
Bob glared coldly at Philip who was sitting on his seat. He snorted and said, “Who does he think he is? What a sore sight!”With a scoff, Bob walked away with his black wood cane tapping on the ground. He was about to leave with his group of people.Philip had been enduring this kind of treatment for a long time. He sat on his seat indifferently and took a sip of his wine. He said calmly, “You can’t be sure that I’m not Mr.Clarke.”At first, everyone was shocked. Then, they started laughing loudly.Was Philip an idiot?How dare he say something like this?“Damn! Philip, why don’t you take a look at yourself in the mirror? Aside from your last name, what part of you looks like a rich person?”Eric laughed in frustration.How could such a shameless person exist? He was hilarious!Philip did not say anything. He knew they would not believe him even if he told them.Bob and his group of people snorted and went out of the door.In a blink of an eye, only a few people were left in
Eric guffawed. His face was filled with contempt. He pointed at Philip and said, “F*ck me! What did you say, Philip? You’re taking Wynn there? How are you going to take her there? You’re just a piece of trash!“Do you know what kind of place Cirrus Manor is? It’s the most mysterious manor in Riverdale! It cost the owners one billion to build!“Are you saying that you’re qualified to be invited to the party?”Eric could not contain himself. He said all kinds of horrible and sarcastic remarks.He attracted the attention of a few people in just a short while. They started laughing at Philip too.Philip was simply humiliating himself!He was still trying to boast when things had already come to this.Wynn’s face was also burning. She kicked Philip under the table to tell him to stop talking.She was plenty embarrassed already but Philip would not stop talking!Would he only stop after he had beef with everyone?When she thought about this, Wynn was starting to get angry.However
Bang!The door of the restroom kicked open and Jess barged in.When she saw the sight before her, she turned around to leave. Before she left, however, she turned around and said, “You’ve been married for so long. Find someplace better if you want to be intimate with each other.”After Jess left, Philip said in annoyance, “There must be something wrong with this woman’s head. She can’t bear to see a husband and a wife being happy.”Wynn rolled her eyes at him and approached him. She straightened her back and buttoned Philip’s shirt for him.Philip wanted to continue but Wynn smacked his hand away. “Stop being unsatisfied with small gains. Let’s go.”Philip shrugged helplessly. He murmured, “We’ve been husband and wife for so long. What are you scared of?”Wynn turned around and displayed a pleasing smile. She looked seductive under the sun.When they got back to the party, it was nearing the end. Philip had just sat down for one minute when he got George’s message.‘Young Ma
Most people would be freaked out at the sight of his face. He took out a photo from his pocket and held it in his hand angrily. “Argent, you've enjoyed your life long enough. It’s time to get what you deserve.” The mysterious man smiled cruelly with obvious hatred for Argent. This whole incident had nothing to do with Philip at all. Philip was simply a pitiful pawn in these people’s hands. Philip never dreamed that someone would target him for no reason. He just wanted to improve his strength. He could not care less about what other people thought of him.… Time passed quickly. The next day, Philip did not expect these people to come after him so soon. He just wanted to have a good rest and find a suitable place to settle down, but these people were as annoying as pesky flies. “Philip, get out here at once. I want to see how strong you are. How dare you show off in front of me?” Argent yelled at Philip’s door in disdain. His right hand was bandaged tightly as if he was still
The mysterious man forced himself to contain his anger and smile at Argent. Argent knew that he had to stop asking for more. At this point, what was the most important? “I can give you Philip’s address, and we can deal with him tomorrow morning. If you teach him a good lesson, I’m sure he’ll listen to you,” Argent said smugly. His plan was simple. He wanted to use the other party to deal with Philip. Philip had messed with him earlier and crippled his right hand. He would have died if he had not stopped the bleeding in time. Therefore, the grudge between him and Philip was so deep that he could not wait to rip Philip into pieces. Argent and the mysterious man who refused to reveal his name quickly came up with a plan. “In that case, I’ll see you again tomorrow morning. I hope you won't let me down.” After saying this, the mysterious man zoomed into the distance and soon disappeared. Seeing the other party’s hasty retreat, Argent was full of disdain. “Hehe, you think too hig
“Wow, you guys are so generous to send me such a precious gift this time. Tell me more about the deal you want to discuss with me. If it’s up to my expectations, I can consider it.” Argent's mood changed for the better. He smiled brightly and did not consider other possibilities. He seemed to have forgotten the conflict and resentment he had toward Philip. “We know that a young heroic man has appeared in Deadly Arena this time. We’re very interested in him and have decided to recruit him. I heard that you fought him before. I wonder if he's as powerful as I imagined.” The other party did not introduce himself but looked at Argent with a smile. Argent scowled. He thought that this matter was over, but this guy brought it up again. He was obviously trying to belittle him. “Hehe, let’s forget it. I don’t have much of an opinion about Philip. He’s just an average person, nothing worth mentioning.” Argent was afraid of exposing his shame, so he tried to tarnish Philip’s reputati
After confirming that he could leave safely, Argent ran away quickly, unwilling to stay a second longer. Philip was so terrifying that he wanted to keep his distance from him. Argent simply wanted to rob Philip of his treasures, but he was seriously injured instead. He could not accept it. Argent quickly ran back home. He had settled down with his family after such a long time. Given his strength, no one refused his requests. Argent’s family members simply wanted to follow someone strong, so they did not mind doing anything. In the meantime, an uninvited guest appeared at Argent’s home. He did not make an appointment with Argent in advance, so Argent did not know him. When Argent returned home in a mess, they bumped into each other. “I’m surprised to see the head of the family looking so miserable. I’m here at the right time.” The man stared at Argent mockingly as if he was enjoying the show. Argent was annoyed by his reaction, angry that an outsider had seen him in his most mi
Argent felt fear grip him. Philip’s earlier action was terrifying, as if he could grab his soul with a wave of his hand. Philip laughed at Argent’s hasty retreat, amused by his cowardice. “I just wanted to scare you. There's no need to dodge so quickly,” he said with a chuckle. Argent was furious by Philip’s shameless prank. Although he was angry, Argent had to give up his absurd plan when he thought of Philip's strength. Philip was not to be trifled with. He had to watch out. Before he could slip away and mess with Philip another day, Philip grabbed his right hand abruptly, leaving him no time to react. Argent’s right hand lost all sensation as if it had been crippled. He looked down at his right hand in a panic and was shocked to find that his right arm had vanished. “What the hell is going on? How could you do this to me?” He was shocked that Philip could break his defense so easily and cripple him. He was a force to be reckoned with, and not everyone could go against hi
Argent was nothing more than average, but he was so full of himself. Philip felt that he might be inferior to the other party in that aspect. “All the rewards are in my hands. If you really want them, you can try to defeat me and take them away. Otherwise, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to get them with your strength.” Philip smiled at him. Although this guy was quite strong, he was no match for Philip. “I entered the top 100 of the advanced list when I was at your age. You’re nothing to me. Stop showing off in front of me.” A trace of disdain flashed across Argent’s face. He was clearly looking down on Philip. Philip nodded. This old man was very full of himself. His strength was undeniable, but it was nothing compared to Philip’s. “I heard that you don’t belong to a guild. Don't you feel ashamed? It’s a pity that no one is willing to take you in.” Philip smiled brightly. He said this on purpose to snub Argent. Argent was furious to hear Philip mocking him for this. He
After hearing Philip’s remarks, the guy trembled in anger. His name was Argent, nicknamed Silver Snake. He first came into contact with a practice technique when he was a teenager. As he did not know anything, he simply practiced the technique on his own. Unexpectedly, there was a problem with this technique. His height remained what it was in his teens, but his appearance became old. At first, he thought that he would always look like a teenager, but his appearance gradually became old and terrifying. No matter where he went after that, people would treat him as an old man even though he was only in his early 40s. Thinking of this, he felt sorry for himself, and his hatred for Philip deepened. Not only did his appearance change, but his practice level also slowly dropped to rock bottom. His mind gradually became more and more twisted because of this. Then, he stumbled into a cave and received a heritage by chance. The heritage was evil, but it helped him improve his practice
Philip nodded at the other party’s grace. “Not bad, that young man is quite decent.” Even though the other party was a middle-aged man, Philip called him a young man. Philip knew that someone else would approach him very soon. He could use this opportunity to find out more about the force behind the other party. He quickly reserved the inn and wandered around the streets. He wanted to see how many people were following him. Everyone had their own agenda and was up to no good. Philip soon saw a sneaky old man who did not seem to pose any threat. The old man looked at Philip thoughtfully with a hint of ridicule, which gave Philip an unpleasant feeling. “You should know the purpose of my visit. Do I need to elaborate?” the old man cut to the chase. Philip shook his head helplessly at the old man’s arrogance. The old man in front of him was quite powerful or he would not have been so arrogant. He thought he could deal with Philip easily with his strength. “You’re obviousl
Philip was surprised to hear that. “So, my performance was so outstanding that they can't wait to get rid of me.” Philip glanced at Duncan. Since he was not here for his money, there was no problem. Besides, he did not seem like a bad guy. “I have a job to do. I have to fulfill my responsibilities and obligations, so I need to report the situation truthfully.” Duncan knew he could not deal with Philip, so he had to find another way to negotiate with him. “If you promise not to take part in another match, I can consider letting you go for the time being. That way, I can go back and report my findings too.” He did not mention his men whom Philip took down as if they were not important at all. “Of course, I can’t agree to that. This isn’t as simple as you think. The people behind Deadly Arena won’t let me off so easily. Don’t worry about that,” Philip said with a smile. Since he knew that Duncan was from Deadly Arena, there was nothing more to say. Philip knew that Lyle
