Hearing that, Wynn seemed to realize something. She turned to look at these ferocious foreign men, forced a smile, and said, “Did you get the wrong private room?” “No mistake. It’s you all right, my dear cousin.” At this time, a cold male voice came from the direction of the door. Liam Johnston, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walked in with a cold face and a sneer. He had his hands in his trouser pockets. “Liam?” Wynn frowned and said, “What do you want?” Liam smiled and ignored Wynn. He turned to Willy who was sitting in the main seat and said with a bow, “Mr. Fadden, why don't you move to my private room?” Willy was not a person who could not understand the situation. He frowned, put down the wine glass, got up, and left the private room. After Willy left, Liam turned to Wynn with a subtle smile. He sat in a chair and said, “Wynn, I’m here today just for one purpose. Martin Group wants to merge with Beacon Group and make Beacon Group our subsidiary. I’ve
Philip followed Yana and arrived at a specific area in the inner hall. It was a large and luxurious private room with few people. Philip looked around and saw four men with different expressions. They were all in their 50s. Yana led Philip into the room and he instantly attracted the attention of the four people. They looked at Philip with hostility before averting their eyes, no longer paying attention. Yana stepped forward with a smile, led Philip to the seat, and introduced, “Everyone, this is Mr. Clarke. He’s also here to participate in this auction for the clue to the Multidew Herb.” As soon as Yana finished speaking, a disdainful look crossed the face of a short and fat old man who had his arms folded over his chest. He looked away and said coldly, “Boss Young, those sitting here are not ordinary people. Don’t bring in any Tom, Dick, and Harry. This kid looks very unfamiliar.” Then, another middle-aged man with a crewcut and an angular face agreed with a flash of gl
Harold Stow stared at Philip coldly and sneered, “Well done, kid. You have guts. From the sound of it, you seem to know about the hidden families of door disciples.” “I just found out,” Philip replied mildly. “Hehe, since you just found out, where did you get the courage and confidence to say these words?” Harold’s face darkened as a murderous intent flickered in the corners of his eyes. “What? You’re just a bunch of old guys pulling your weight around. What's there to be afraid of?” Philip laughed. “Presumptuous!” Harold shouted angrily. With a slap, he shattered the chair he was sitting in into pieces! Such strength was indeed not comparable to ordinary people. Philip took a glance, and from the energy unleashed by Harold just now, he roughly judged his strength. A disciple of the second zone? A little weak. “Boy, kneel and apologize for your disrespect to us just now! Otherwise, I’ll break your limbs and pull out your tongue!” Harold shouted angrily. Philip sti
The location where the Multidew Herb grew? Hearing this, Philip tensed and clenched his fists tightly. He must get his hands on this jade pendant! Of course, the other four leaders also shared the same thought as Philip. Likewise, their eyes became fiery while their breathing shortened! The short and fat Master Lowe said, “Boss Young, do let us take a closer look at the jade pendant.” With a smile, Yana personally held the golden tray and walked to the front. Master Lowe tried to get his hands on it but Yana gently evaded him and said with a smile, “Master Lowe, this item is very precious. It has been passed down throughout history and can’t be touched easily. Please look at it with your eyes only.” Hearing that, Master Lowe frowned but did not say anything. He withdrew his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly. There was a faint glimmer in his eyes as he carefully stared at the flawless pure white jade pendant. This jade pendant was more similar to the jade slips held by
Harold Stow was unhappy with Philip right from the beginning and naturally sided strongly with Master Lowe at this moment. Yana said with a smile, “Gentlemen, everyone will be treated equally here. Of course, Mr. Clarke can look at it too.” Hmph! Harold turned his face and mocked, “Look? What does he know? A brat who doesn’t know anything can only satisfy his voyeuristic urge.” Philip paid no heed to Harold’s mockery and looked at the jade pendant seriously. At this moment, he used a little of his control over the rules of matter. Insight! In an instant, the barrier inside the jade pendant that could block all exploring senses collapsed under Philip’s control over the rule of insight. At this moment, a scene from a thousand years ago appeared in front of Philip’s eyes. It was a piece of history lost in ashes. There were fragmentary images of old men and young boys, as well as pill production and herb fields. Just when Philip was still exploring the historical image
Harold’s words totally diverted everyone’s attention to Philip. A level-three essence of life was not a joke! Yana’s request was too high. No one could fulfill it! However, after Harold drew the attention to him, Philip merely smiled and said, “I don’t quite understand what a level-three essence of life is.” Hahaha! Instantly, Harold and the others burst into laughter! “Kid, you're really something! I thought you had some ability just now, but now, it seems that you’re just an innocent young man who knows nothing! You haven't even heard of the level-three essence of life. What are you doing sitting here?” Harold laughed before his tone turned cold. The short and fat Master Lowe also sarcastically said, “Since you don't know it, you don't need to participate in the competition. Just sit and watch from the sidelines.” After that, Master Lowe said to Yana, “Boss Young, this is a matter of great importance. I need to discuss it with everyone in the family. I’ll give you a
Ridiculous! Even members of the hidden families of door disciples like them could not do it! The most powerful person here was Nathan Zen. After all, his father-in-law was an employed academician at the Genetic Products Research Institute of the Nonagon. The research and development project of this level-three essence of life was also made through the efforts of his father-in-law. Therefore, if Nathan said that he could get the level-three essence of life tomorrow, he could definitely do so. However, how could this ordinary kid say that he could get the essence of life tonight? Simply preposterous! Faced with the criticisms and threats from the three, Philip remained seated calmly. He turned his head and said with a faint smile, “Those who can pay the price will get the item. Isn’t that the rules of an auction? If Patriarch Zen has the ability, he can present the essence of life one step ahead of me. In that case, I’ll make my retreat.” Hiss! Philip’s words were very
The moment these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the private room immediately tensed! The eyes of Master Lowe and Harold burst with killing intent as they shouted, “Brat! What did you say? You’re courting death!” They were angry! How dare a worthless loser belittle them, the members of the hidden disciple families? Abominable! The mundane world and the world of disciples were poles apart! There was a chain of contempt! People from the disciple families generally despised the mundane world! It was because in their opinion, the people of the mundane world were ants. They simply made up the numbers and were only mortals. Meanwhile, they belonged to the disciple world! They could completely replace the mundane world and change the existing rules of the world. Now, a punk from the mundane world actually dared to speak to them like this and simply did not show them due respect! Philip calmly sneered and said, “Am I wrong? The few of you think too highly of yourse
