“Yes, Young Master! Right away!” George Thomas happened to be returning from Clarke Manor at this time. He immediately contacted the dean of Newsea Hospital in District 4 of Arcadia Island. Taylor Goode, the dean of Newsea Hospital, was dumbfounded when he received George’s call! Soon, he dialed Philip’s number. “Hello, Young Master Clarke. I’m Taylor Goode. How may I help you?” Taylor bowed and said respectfully. “A director surnamed Ball in your hospital has some conflicts with me. You need to come over here.” Philip raised his eyebrows and glanced at Garett, whose nose was bleeding. “This Garett Ball! Young Master Clarke, wait a moment. I'll deal with him now!” Taylor roared immediately. “Okay, I’m hanging up now.” As Philip ended the call, Garett leaned against the wall and clutched his stomach. He was laughing until his sides hurt. “I’m about to die of laughter. A piece of sh*t like you is capable of calling Dean Goode? Your acting skills are really good.” “Y
Janet stood next to Garett and whispered, “Garett, why is this happening?” “How would I know? Maybe it's a coincidence. Let's watch and see what happens.” Garett turned around, walked to Taylor, and said pitifully, “Dean Goode, you came just in time. Look at my face. I was beaten by this thug. You have to stand up for me.” Taylor looked at Garett’s face and said bitterly, “You deserve it!” “What?” Garett stared blankly at Taylor, unable to figure out why Taylor would say something like that. “Dean Goode, what do you mean by that? I’ve done more than enough for you over the years. Now that I’ve been beaten up by this poor loser, you said that I deserve it?” “Don’t you? Just think about what you’ve done. Have you investigated the truth of the matter? If you hadn’t made them pissed, would they have beaten you up? You should reflect on what you’ve done!” Taylor rebuked aloud. Garett shrank back. If they traced this case to the root of the problem, it would lead back to Jane
“Garett Ball, is this how you apologize? According to the hospital's regulations, what you have done warrants a dismissal. If your apology doesn't satisfy Mr. Clarke, you may pack your things and get out.” Taylor dared not defend Garett. If Philip misunderstood, Taylor might lose his position as dean any minute. Garett was shocked. He did not expect Taylor to speak up for Philip like this. Thinking about his position, the generous drug commissions, and everything that those gorgeous medical representatives were willing to offer, Garett gritted his teeth. “I'm deeply aware of my mistakes. I shouldn’t have defended my relatives indiscriminately. I made a big mistake in the spur of the moment and damaged the reputation of Newsea Hospital in District 4. I’ll definitely change my ways. I hope you can forgive me and give me a chance to turn over a new leaf.” After Garett finished speaking, he looked at Janet with a pleading look in his eyes. If Janet continued to kick up a big fu
“Dad, you’re amazing. I love you the most.” Mila smiled sweetly and jumped into Philip’s arms. “Dad, kiss me and lift me high up.” Philip laughed and kissed Mila on the cheek before lifting her high in the air. “Haha, it’s so high!” Mila’s laughter was like tinkling bells. Wynn looked at Philip and Mila quietly. A happy smile bloomed on her face. Wynn was in a relaxed mood and felt that she had not been this relaxed and happy for a long time. Philip walked to Wynn with Mila in his arms. “Mila, look at how beautiful your mother is.” “Mom is beautiful. She’s the most beautiful person in the world. When I grow up, I want to be as beautiful as Mom.” Mila leaned on Wynn’s shoulder, wrapped her arms around Wynn’s neck, and looked at Wynn cheerfully. Wynn gently bopped Mila on the nose. “You sweet talker.” “Mom, I want something delicious. I want ice cream,” Mila said childishly. Wynn smiled and stretched out her arms to take Mila from Philip’s arms. “Let’s go. I’ll br
Bud hurried to the hospital. When he saw the slap marks on Janet's face and the bruises on his brother-in-law's face, he was furious. After taking out his mobile phone and dialing Taylor’s number, Bud yelled, “Taylor Goode, are you blind?” “President Renner, what do you mean by that? Did I do something wrong?” Taylor asked in confusion. “Damn it, you sure can put on a show. My wife is Janet Ball, my brother-in-law is Garett Ball, and my son is Tom Renner! Don’t you know what happened to them?” Taylor shuddered and complained inwardly. He did not expect Garett to have such connections. Judging from Bud’s attitude, he was afraid things would not turn out well! The anxious Taylor was suddenly at a loss. On one hand, it was Mr. Clarke. On the other hand, it was the vice president of the Medical Federation who managed the hospitals in District 4. Both parties were people he could not afford to offend. Taylor did not know much about Philip’s identity. George had only revealed t
Taylor suddenly felt confident. If Mr. Clarke said it was a small matter, it must be true. Seeing Taylor talking to Philip, Bud said with his head held high, “Dean Goode, why are you still talking cr*p with him? Get your people to hold him down, tie him up, and strip him naked. Then, find his wife and kid for me too. “Since he dares to disgrace my family, I’ll make him unable to make a comeback for the rest of his life and make his entire family live a life of shame. I want to take pictures and record videos so that they’ll forever regret the things they did today!” What Bud said was extremely vicious, and Taylor shuddered upon hearing that. He simply thought that it was true when everyone in the industry said that Bud Renner was someone who could not be messed with. This guy was indeed very ruthless. “You’re quite creative. It seems that I can let you go through that exact experience later,” Philip said with a smile. Bud frowned, feeling that Philip was mocking him. “You s
Meanwhile, Bud hung up the phone and said to Taylor with his head held high, “Aren’t you going to do what I told you to? If you still don't do it, don't blame me for being merciless later!” Taylor looked at Philip before taking out his phone and dialing Captain Torres’ number. “Captain Torres, bring your men to the emergency room.” “Hahaha, Taylor, you still have some sense.” Bud laughed smugly. Soon, Captain Torres rushed over with the security guards. Philip smiled and pursed his lips at Bud. Taylor shouted sternly, “Captain Torres, hold them down!” With Taylor’s order, Captain Torres led the security guards and pounced on Bud and the others like they were predators. Bud, who was pressed against the wall by the two security guards, felt his brain buzzing. He could not figure out why Taylor had such guts. “Dean Goode, you have a lot of nerve! Bud, hurry up and chastise him. Tell these security guards to let go of me. My face hurts!” Garett was held down by a security g
“President Pan, why are you here? Hurry over and ask them to let me go. We have to issue a corrective order to this hospital immediately. They’re simply too rude. This is not a hospital that saves people but kills people instead!” Bud said quickly. President Pan glanced at Bud as if he was thin air, simply ignoring him. Bud’s heart sank to rock bottom when he watched President Pan walk past him without heeding him. Was President Pan not here for him? Was President Pan called here by that loser? Could it be… Bud dared not think further. Bud struggled to reach out in a panic and grabbed President Pan's pants. President Pan stopped and turned to Bud with dark eyes. “Let go, now!” “President Pan, please help me. In the future, I’ll fully cooperate with you. I’ll listen to every order you have as long as you help us!” Bud pleaded. “You brought this upon yourself. Don’t drag me down with you. You’re just a cocky vice president with your nose high up in the air! Do you thi
“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
