Riverdale, Juan Parker? Yana immediately thought of something. This damned Juan did not mess with that young master, did he? No, that young master was the new patriarch of the Clarke family! The vein in Yana’s temple throbbed wildly. She immediately fished out her phone and dialed Juan’s number. When Yana made the call, Juan was lying on his back on the floor, looking at Philip grimly. “Philip Clarke, you have guts! Let’s see how much longer you can stay arrogant! Even if you kill me today, my boss will avenge me and kill your whole family! “Do you find it very gratifying to beat me up now? Soon, my boss will capture all your relatives and friends and beat them up one by one in front of you. Let’s see how gratified you’ll feel by then. You’re not worthy to fight with me at all!” Juan would rather die than give in because he knew that he could still rely on the boss behind him. Philip would eventually be trampled to the floor and ravaged. Philip took out his phone, l
What did it mean that Philip was the new patriarch of the Clarke family? That Clarke family that was on global broadcast? That world’s number one affluent family? How was it possible? Juan raised his eyebrows and was dumbfounded. He stared at Philip with panic and fear. Stammering, he asked, “A-Are you the new patriarch of the Clarke family? The world's largest wealthy family?” At this moment, Philip was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. With slightly cold eyes, he smiled and said, “As true as it can be.” Boom! This was like a thunderbolt that struck Juan directly in the heart. Was he really the new head of that family? This was too horrifying! Juan panicked completely. He never thought that Philip would have such a big identity and background. Also at this moment, Juan realized that no wonder no matter how he targeted Philip, Philip would always be safe and sound. No wonder his boss would warn him like that. “Juan Parker, from now on, you no longer h
Juan looked at the silver gun in Philip’s hand and trembled like a leaf. He prostrated on the floor and shouted, “Philip, no, don’t do this. We were classmates, after all. Please forgive me. I’ll leave immediately and never appear in front of you again. Please spare my life.” After saying that, Juan endured the pain of his broken arms and legs and kept bowing to Philip. Philip’s eyes were impassive as he looked at Juan. Finally, he sighed, stood up, and said, “This is the last time I’ll tolerate you. Someone will arrange to send you out of the country.” After saying that, Philip was about to leave. Juan prostrated on the floor while trembling, but those gloomy eyes burst out with hatred. He quickly took out another silver gun from his pocket. When Philip walked past him, he immediately turned around and yelled at Philip, “Go to hell!” Bang! A gunshot! Juan sneered as he stared at Philip’s back. He could already imagine the scene of Philip falling into a pool of blood an
“This is really infuriating. Madam Johnston, I think we're too passive! Martin and Bernard Johnston are simply too abominable! They clearly want to drive us into the corner!” Mindy Scott was wearing a red tight-fitting backless dress today. Her figure was very sexy and slim. Her legs were straight and slender, just like white jade. If not for the client in the morning, she would not have dressed like this, exposing her back and thighs for others to see. Wynn sat on the chairwoman’s seat with a small smile on her lips. She glanced at Mindy who was lying on the sofa and throwing a tantrum. She asked, “What’s wrong? Are you still having problems with Mr. Fadden?” Mindy was lying on the sofa at the moment. Her two slender jade-like legs were resting on the armrest of the sofa, swinging back and forth. She pouted unhappily and said, “I’ve met that old pervert three times and each time, he wants me to accompany him to dinner and take advantage of me! Today, he even said that if I d
“Multidew Herb?” Philip frowned. Would a small antique auction have clues about the Multidew Herb? According to the clues from the Harrison family, this Multidew Herb rarely appeared in the secular world. The clues leading to it were even more uncommon. How would Yana know clues about the Multidew Herb? Also, why would she tell him about this? Could it be that Yana knew the secret of Wynn’s birth? They had taken measures on Arcadia Island to seal the secret about Wynn’s birthright. Anyone who dared to reveal it would face the extinction of their entire lineage! “That’s right. I heard that the Multidew Herb is a medicine passed down from the First Emperor’s time. It has the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life and is also effective in promoting longevity. But of course, the true effects are unknown.” Yana said lightly, her voice very soft. “Well, when you say that, I do have some interest,” Philip said. He did not directly ask Yana if she knew about Wynn
Liam understood at one glance and immediately took out his phone. He said, “Dad, leave this to me. I happen to know a group of assassins who slipped in from abroad. All of them are experts! It’s said that they’re also powerful supernatural beings!” Martin turned his head, narrowed his eyes, and said with a sneer, “Supernatural beings? Good! Very good! No matter how much it costs, tell them to get it done!” Since they got into contact with Boss Young, their expectations had also become higher. They learned that this world was not the same as the one they originally came into contact with. In this world, there were also the so-called supernatural beings. They were those superhumans who were said to have existed long ago. Suddenly, Liam said, “By the way, Dad and Uncle Bernard, there’s an antique auction tonight at Spruce Villa. I have four invitations. Why don’t we go and take a look? I heard that many big bosses and some people from hidden families will be there too.” Martin
“You’ve fallen for me? Miss Joo, stop fooling around. I’m already married with two kids. If Old Master Joo finds out about this, he’ll definitely come after me.” Philip’s expression was full of trepidation. Vivi shook her head and said, “I don’t care. I wonder who was the one who saw all of me in the hotel? You must bear responsibility for it!” “Stop right there! You were the one who invited me. I didn’t do it on purpose,” Philip said helplessly. Vivi stomped her foot in anger and rolled her eyes coquettishly at Philip. “You’re a scumbag!” Philip shrugged. After standing for a while, Vivi suddenly asked, “Are you here for the auction too?” Before Philip could answer, a cold sarcastic voice came from not far away. “Hehe, what right does a small potato have to attend the auction here? Vivi, since when did you know such a loser?” It was a woman with an icy face. Her arms were across her chest and she wore high heels with a tight-fitting backless red dress that showed off
Vivi was flabbergasted at this scene! At that moment, she stared at Philip with wide eyes full of disbelief. However, she calmed down in a flash. After all, Philip was the new Clarke family’s patriarch. The Joo family had already received the notice. In the hall, other chattering guests heard the slap and looked sideways. When they saw Heidi Denver being slapped in public by an unfamiliar man, everyone was dumbfounded! She was the daughter of the Denver family in Golden City. Her status was high and noble. Her family was a combat group force in the country! Was that man crazy? How dare he slap Heidi Denver?! A disaster was about to happen! “Ah!” Heidi cried and clutched her red cheek, her eyes full of surprise and shock. After getting hit, she came back to her senses. She stared at Philip hysterically and shouted frantically, “You! How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am? I belong to Golden City’s Denver—” Smack! Philip smoothly slapped her again! “How noi
“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
