A man dressed in a suit walked over. He was the hall manager. He asked coldly, “Leah, what happened? Why are so many people here?”Before this, the hall manager named Bill Horton heard the commotion coming from over here. When he saw the scene, he could guess what had happened.The waitress saw that the hall manager was here. She bowed and said, “Mr. Horton, this madam smashed six bottles of a customer’s Lafite. I’m handling this.”When Bill heard this, he nodded and did not say anything. He even exchanged a few words with Joshua.However, when his eyes landed on the smashed bottles on the floor, he started to panic.“How much did you ask them to pay? 42,000 bucks?” Bill asked frantically.The waitress nodded her head. “Yes, Mr. Horton. Lafite. 7,000 bucks per bottle, so it’s 42,000 bucks for six.”Slap!Bill slapped the waitress across her cheek and roared, “Are you f*cking blind? 7,000 bucks per bottle? Look at the year of the wine!”The slap was so sudden that the waitress
When everyone heard this, they were shocked.What did ‘for my sake’ meant?Did his name cost six million?Joshua frowned when he heard what Philip said. He was unhappy as he retorted, “Philip, are you an idiot? Didn’t you hear what he said? Six bottles of them cost six million bucks! Who are you? Are you even worth six million bucks?”Philip must be trying to be a poser again!He would just watch how he was going to make a fool out of himself.Yolanda’s face was filled with anger and frustration. Philip kept jumping out to be a poser. In the end, not only would he embarrass himself, but he would also embarrass Yolanda.“Philip, get lost! This has nothing to do with you!” Yolanda shrieked tearfully.She was fuming.That piece of trash was still trying to be a poser at a time like this.Philip shook his head and smiled helplessly. He looked at the waitress and said, “I’ll pay the six million bucks.”Even if Yolanda and Joshua refused to believe him, Philip still wanted to help
However, Philip replied calmly, “It’s fine. We’re all old classmates. It’s nothing.”After he said that, he took his phone and went over to one side to take a call without waiting for everyone.When the crowd dispersed, Joshua swung his arms and left with his men angrily.Yolanda and Sadie stayed where they were. They were waiting for Philip.“Yola, I don’t think Philip is what he seems to be. That’s six million bucks! He can just not pay if he wants to. This must be an act, right?” Sadie was curious.Yolanda was also confused. Was the Philip she knew the same man as the one who was talking in a domineering manner just now?Coincidentally, Philip walked back.Yolanda ran up to him impatiently. She was blushing when she asked, “Philip, do I really not have to pay back that six million dollars to you?”Philip nodded and said, “Don’t worry. I know the boss of this place, so it’s fine.”Yolanda was shocked. Her eyes went wide as she said in astonishment, “You know the boss of Arc
Yolanda and Sadie quickly walked over to the pink Porsche.The closer she got, the more shocked Yolanda became. That person looked too much like Philip even if it was just his side profile. He was also chatting and smoking with a tall, muscular man.“Philip?” Yolanda called out.The other party looked over. When he saw that it was Yolanda, he was taken aback. He asked, “Didn’t you leave already?”Philip felt helpless. He did not expect to run into Yolanda when he was smoking with Tiger.Yolanda’s eyes wandered around. She stared at Philip before gluing her eyes on Tiger.This car must definitely belong to this man.Could Philip be the owner of this Porsche?Impossible!Even a battery-operated bike would be too good for a man like this.Yolanda grabbed Sadie’s arm in the first instant and started to flirt with Tiger. “Hey hot stuff, is this car yours?”Tiger looked at Yolanda and Sadie in confusion. These two women looked gorgeous, and their bodies were amazing as well.He w
Tiger politely gestured to Philip to get into the car before glaring at Yolanda and Sadie. He said, “Go back and ask others about me, Tiger from Lord North Street. In the future, if you dare disrespect Mr. Clarke, don’t blame me for not going easy on you!”Yolanda and Sadie watched as Philip left in the stylish Porsche.Yolanda was unconvinced. She snapped a picture of the car’s number plate and asked angrily, “Sadie, do you believe that he’s Philip’s driver?”Sadie was puzzled. She said, “I’m not sure. However, I’ve heard my ex-boyfriend talk about Tiger.”Yolanda blamed Philip for the slap. Furious, she sent the car plate to Joshua and said, “Josh, I saw Philip leave in this car. Check who the car belongs to for me.”Joshua had felt agitated throughout the entire night. When he received Yolanda’s message, he became even angrier.What? That useless bum Philip left in a Porsche 911?Impossible!Joshua replied immediately, “Alright, give me five minutes.”Five minutes later, Jo
Wynn glared angrily at Chloe who was sitting in front of her.Wynn had not expected Chloe to be so unreasonable.The latter had barged into her office with her bodyguards and asked them to restrain her arms.Another two bodyguards stood outside the office as they blocked the entrance.A lot of employees had gathered outside the door and were now anxiously watching what was happening.Evidently, they had witnessed VP Johnston get slapped six times in the office by the woman.Even the chairman, Derrick, had been stopped at the door, unable to enter the room.It was not that he did not want to go in, but he truly could not afford to offend the woman inside the VP’s office.600 million bucks!She had used 600 million bucks to buy the company in one go!Derrick was now only the temporary chairman of the company, while Chloe was the real boss.Chloe looked at the Patek Philippe watch on Wynn’s wrist that had a crystal embedded in it and said nonchalantly, “Philip should be here in
Suddenly!A roar came from the door!“Stop it!”Philip had arrived at the scene and could see what was happening. His eyes were bulging and it was as if they were going to pop out of their sockets!‘Damn you, Chloe. You’re asking to die!’‘You’re asking to die!’Chloe turned around and saw Philip’s bloodshot eyes. However, she did not stop. Instead, she swung her hand and slapped Wynn across the face. Additionally, Chloe had a smirk on her face.In an instant, Philip was engulfed in rage.Outside the door, the two bodyguards could be seen holding out their hands to block Philip.Nevertheless, Philip kicked both of them and sent them flying.Philip no longer had anything to hide.He did not hold back and instead used the skills he had learned from Reed in the past.“Chloe Sommerset! You’re digging your own grave!”Philip roared as he stood by the door, his hands balled up in fists. Philip had lost all rationality from rage, and his pupils were constricted.Not to mention,
Philip knew what he had done at Beacon Pharmaceutical was overbearing and somewhat cruel.It was only understandable that Wynn had become suspicious of him.Should he tell her his true identity?No.Giada was already in Riverdale, and Philip did not know what that woman was planning.She would not come to Riverdale without a reason. Hence, she had to be planning something.He was restricting himself a lot by agreeing to that woman’s conditions.If Philip did not need to protect the people he loved by adhering to her conditions, he would have turned the world upside down already.“Wynnie, do you really want to know?” Philip asked with a raised brow.Wynn hesitated before nodding shortly after. “I want to know about your past. I have a feeling that you’re not the Philip that I know. Did you used to be the way you were just now?”Philip shook his head and lied as he said, “No no no, not at all.”If Wynn found out about those ridiculous and despotic things he had done in the pas
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
