George stroked his beard and said, “Yes, this is the card.” Then, George said earnestly, “Young Madam, is there a golden island symbol on the bottom left corner of this card?” Wynn took a look and really saw it. In the past, Philip gave her this card and told her that there was some money in it that she could use on a rainy day. At this moment, Wynn looked at Philip and pursed her lips. Philip put his hands in his trouser pockets and smiled faintly. If he remembered correctly, this card was issued at the bank in Riverdale last time. There should be one billion in it. Back then, when Martha went to check the balance, she was almost scared to death by 100 million! When Philip opened an account for Wynn, he deposited one billion. George knew about this. After all, Philip’s property distribution must be done through the Clarke family’s vault. Thus, George contacted the bank president at that time. The card issued to Wynn was also the Clarke family’s exclusive card! Howeve
“What made you so flustered? Tell me.” The manager was in full leadership mode and spoke while drinking tea. “Manager, look!” While saying so, Mary handed Wynn’s card to the manager. “A woman outside said she wants to withdraw all the money in here!” Pfft! As soon as the manager saw the golden island on the card, he spewed a mouthful of tea on the wall. Was this not the Clarke family’s exclusive Gold Island Card? The Clarke family’s Gold Island Cards were issued by the head office of more than 200 bank alliances. As they were only used by members of the Clarke family, the number of issuances was very small. This card was only recognized by bank executives and the like. However, this was Arcadia Island. All bank staff could recognize this card! The manager was stupefied. He held the bank card up, flipped it back and forth, and kept mumbling, “Yes, that’s right. This is the Clarke family’s Gold Island Card!” Mary said, “Right? Manager, if you say this is the Clarke
Arrest her? Hearing that, Wynn was dumbfounded. What did she do wrong? Why would she be arrested over a cash withdrawal? “W-What are you doing? What did I do wrong?” Wynn asked in a panic, her face full of confusion. One of the security guards wearing a bomb suit stood in front with a shield. He pointed at Wynn fiercely and said, “Don't talk nonsense and give up resistance. We’re following the instructions of our superiors. Please cooperate with our investigation. Otherwise, we’ll have to take coercive measures!” Another security officer said, “Put your hands up and walk slowly toward us! Hurry!” Wynn did not know what was happening, and she was very nervous. She raised her hands slightly and approached the security personnel. She thought that since it was the bank’s security personnel, they should not be bad people. Hence, there should be no problem in cooperating with the operation. If there was any misunderstanding, she would just cooperate with them and clear things
The manager chastised, “Tell the truth! Did you steal this card from a customer when you were working in an entertainment center? Entertainers like you sell your bodies and betray your souls just because you have some looks. You even stoop as low as to steal things! You’re simply lawless! Tell me, who did you steal this card from? If you don't, I'll beat you until you tell the truth and send you to the Clarke family on Arcadia Island so they can teach you a lesson!” “Cut the crap! Who’s an entertainer? Why are you saying that I stole this card? This is my card! Let go of me now!” Wynn was extremely aggrieved. Entertainer? Stealing? Ever since she was young, she had never been slandered like this! This issue that involved moral character was the most sensitive topic for people like her! “Let me go! I’m not a thief!” Wynn could not hold back any longer and struggled desperately! “Behave yourself!” To show his professionalism in front of his superior, a security office
Inside the chairman’s office on the top floor of the 27th subsidiary and eighth business property. Philip was explaining his plan to George. “Arcadia Island is different from the outside world. The connection between Arcadia Island and the outside world is only through the business gateway and business channels. If you want to connect Arcadia Island with the outside world, it’s necessary to obtain the consent of the old master and all the people in charge of the Clarke family. As long as one person objects, the plan will not succeed. In the past, the old master also wanted to do so, but because of the branch family, this matter was put on hold.” Before George finished speaking, Philip’s phone on the coffee table suddenly buzzed. Philip took it and saw that it was a call from Wynn. He and George looked at each other and smiled. Philip smiled as he swiped the accept button and said, “What’s up, Wynnie? Did you get the money?” Abruptly, Wynn’s sobs could be heard from the ot
Upon seeing that the man who came was so overbearing, the security staff left one person by the manager's side while the rest rushed up to stop Philip. What a joke! How could they be a match for Philip? For the first two people who rushed up, Philip merely tilted sideways slightly and avoided the anti-riot batons in their hands. This was followed by a violent sweep of his leg. The two took a hit and flew out, crashing heavily on the floor! For the other two security personnel who held Wynn’s arms, one of them was also hit by Philip and instantly fell to the floor on his knees. He was delirious and foaming at the mouth. After these two people fell to the floor, Philip kicked each of them once! “How dare you touch my wife>!” The two of them slid across the floor in an instant and hit two large vases, which immediately shattered all over the floor. “Phil!” Wynn shouted aggrievedly. Philip turned around and saw Wynn standing pitifully on the side. He immediately felt dist
“Where did you get your arrogance? What Clarke are you talking about? Do you think you’re amazing just because your last name is Clarke? Believe it or not, I’ll get someone to kill…” The manager was furious and yelled at Philip angrily, but suddenly, he realized one fact. His body shuddered all over! “Wait a minute! W-What did you say your last name was?” The manager asked with a serious face. Philip said coldly, “My last name is Clarke. What about it? You know this card of the Clarke family but you don’t know the people with the last name Clarke?” “Are you saying… you’re…?” The manager stretched out his hand tremblingly and pointed at Philip, his face pale with fright. At this moment, the security officer next to the manager spoke up. “Manager, don’t let this kid fool you!” The manager was taken aback and asked, “Huh? What do you mean by that?” The security officer said, “Manager, just look at this kid. His body is in tatters and his clothes are all cheap stuff. Wi
The tellers and security personnel around the door could not help but sneer when they heard the contents of Philip’s phone conversation. They looked at each other and mocked, “Wow, this kid is really good at acting!” “He even gave Mr. George Thomas a call. That’s the butler of the Clarke family. Mr. Thomas is responsible for our neighborhood. He’s really good at selecting people.” “Why didn’t he call Patriarch Clarke instead? That would be awesome!” The security officer next to the manager said, “Manager, don’t waste time with this kid. I say call the police and notify the Clarke family. He’s obviously a servant who ran away from the Clarke family. Now that we have so many people here, he can’t escape anyway. What do you think?” “Manager?” The security officer asked repeatedly but found the manager motionless. His face was grim. George was the person in charge of this area, and he had George’s number. Just now, he clearly saw that the number that Philip dialed. It was non
“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
“I won’t be joining your guild, but I don’t mind being a spectator. At least I can watch the fun. I know that you’re quite strong, so you don’t need me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I don’t think you’ll face a problem.” Philip smiled indifferently, quite confident that nothing much would happen. The overall strength of the Celestial Palace had improved significantly, so they really had nothing to worry about. Jamie was relieved to hear that. In that case, he could rest assured.… The guild competition officially kicked off, and everyone was ready to battle it out. The battles were not something that simply required strength to resolve. Occasionally, the competitors required tactics too. As Alain was feeling anxious, his reinforcement finally arrived at the scene. The hooded man turned up with some potions, ready to carry out his task. “Hey, you’re finally here. I thought I wouldn’t see you again.” Alain was worried. He knew that he was in a precarious situati
“Father, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!” Hogster sat by Alain’s bedside and asked in a panic. Hogster would not have been worried about Alain in the past, but things were different now. They were facing various crises. Without his father to take care of things, they would be doomed. Alain coughed violently and fumbled around for some healing pills before stuffing them into his mouth. The pills were not useful for his injuries but could at least relieve his pain. After Alain took the pills, Hogster hugged him excitedly. “This is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.” Alain almost died in anger over his son’s remark. “Hogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. You’ll make a name for yourself if you do this.” Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, “Father, although I’m quite strong, you can’t do this to me! How am I suppose
The rabbit had a very expressive face as if it was watching Alain make a fool of himself. “You’re quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, let’s hear them.” Hay dangled from Rabbit's mouth, and he seemed disdainful. Alain seemed conflicted at the sight of Rabbit and felt like he was looking at Philip instead. “Why are you here?” This rabbit was weird, and no one could control it. As far as Alain knew, the rabbit was famous in major cities and good at picking fights. “Of course, I’m here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?” After saying this, Rabbit jumped up and kicked Alain, who started spitting mouthfuls of blood. Alain was strong in his own right, so there was no way he would be helpless against an attack. However, he simply could not resist Rabbit and could only suffer a beating. The guild members in the surroundings closed their eyes, feeling sorry for their guild leader. No one thought they could win th
It seemed that Alain had overestimated his importance. “Hey, wait a minute. Don't be so hasty. I just want to think about how to make things better. You should know that things are not as simple as you think. If I agree so easily, others might target me.” The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alain’s flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. “I thought you wouldn’t consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.” The hooded man smiled calmly as if mocking Alain from the bottom of his heart. Although Alain was being ridiculed, he could not say a word. The hooded man held the reins, so Alain had no choice but to obey. “I don’t mind this cooperation, but we need to plan this thoroughly. If you can help my guild to make a comeback in this competition, I can agree to your condition. Since you found me, you should know the trouble my guild is facing right now. Philip and his people are messing with us, and the Celestial Palace is keepi
Alain was a smart man and quickly grasped the key point. It seemed that this man was here to help him. “Tell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If you’re here to help me, let’s have an open discussion.” Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. “I know that your guild is facing a crisis. I can help you with that. I can get rid of all your problems and also ensure that your guild scores victory. Although I can't guarantee that you’ll win the championship, taking one of the top spots won’t be a problem.” The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this man’s offer to help him. At a moment of crisis, it was every man for himself. Right now, no one was willing to help him or lend a helping hand. Alain thought that this was too much of a coincidence. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?” Alain knew that
