Next to Eric stood a distinguished, middle-aged man in his mid-forties. His appearance was quite similar to Eric’s. He was the chairman of Seafare Trading and was Eric’s father, Samson Yates. Additionally, on the top of Eric’s hospital bed, there was a middle-aged woman dressed in luxurious clothes. The woman’s eyes had turned red from crying. “Who is so cruel to have beaten my son up like this?” She was Eric’s mother, Cecelia Drew. Her heart was in pain. Evidently, a mother’s children were her most beloved. At that moment, seeing that her child had been hurt by someone else, Cecelia’s heart was bleeding! “Eric, tell me, who hurt you? I’ll ask your father to capture that person!” Cecelia wanted to hold Eric’s hand but was afraid of hurting him, so she could only watch anxiously. A stream of tears fell from the corners of Eric’s eyes. His chapped lips trembled as he said, “Dad, you must avenge me! It’s Philip Clarke, that spineless piece of trash! Kill him for me! I’m a cr
The house was filled with a murderous aura. No one spoke. Martha, who had always been unreasonably noisy, was now quietly standing at one corner like an obedient baby. She was looking with lowered eyelids at the kneeling Wynn, afraid to make one sound. Wynn knelt with poise and said stubbornly, “Grandpa, can you at least tell me what’s going on? Did Philip do something wrong?” “Tell Philip to get back here at once!” Bob bellowed angrily. His face had a stony expression, and a biting chill could be seen in his eyes. Martha dared not say anything and merely stood there as she looked at Wynn. She winked at Wynn as a signal for her to call Philip. That wastrel must have caused trouble, otherwise, the old man would not have rushed to their house in the middle of the night. He had also brought many men with him, all of whom were lined up outside. There were also four more men inside the house with them. Scary! Martha’s hatred toward Philip increased just like that. Wynn had
Martha became startled at those words and rushed at her father while shouting, “Dad, you can’t do this! Wynn is your granddaughter! This matter is that wimp’s fault!” She turned to Wynn angrily, held her shoulders, and shook them desperately. “Wynnie, don’t be silly. Just hurry up and tell that wimp to come back. We won’t get involved in this matter. He must solve his own problems.” Why was her daughter so stupid? Was it worth it to stand against Old Master Yates for that wastrel? However. Wynn laughed coldly as her eyes became tearful. She glanced at Martha before looking at Bob. “Grandpa, I know you’re here for Eric. I don’t know what happened to him, but you laid your hands on me as soon as I stepped in here. Did you find out about what Eric did? Do you know what Eric did to me today?” Wynn was infuriated. This was her grandfather, an old man who did not care about right or wrong and distinguished between grandson and granddaughter. To Bob, Eric was the flesh and blood
Bob scoffed nonchalantly. “Philip, you’re just a worthless piece of trash. Can you even brag about something like that?” Philip clenched his fists tightly, his dark eyes scrutinizing the four bodyguards in the house along with the men surrounding the area. It would not be easy. Although he had learned a few moves from Reed, his two fists would be insufficient for so many people. He had to wrap things up quickly. “Bob Yates, I think the number of people you brought won’t suffice,” Philip jeered. The sneer on Bob’s face remained. Although he did not know where Philip had gotten the courage to say such things to him, he had brought many people just to capture him. How could the tables turn? Could a useless wimp like him create a miracle? At this time, Martha stepped forward, pointed at Philip’s nose, and shouted, “Philip, you’re to be held responsible for your own mess! The Johnston family has nothing to do with this!” Martha was scared and eager to cut off all ties with
“Philip, what have you done?!” Martha shrieked. By now, Philip had already eliminated another four bodyguards. Wynn stared at Philip in a daze, realizing once again that he had terrifying fighting skills! The men outside wanted to rush in. However, when they saw Philip standing next to Bob, choking the latter’s neck, they dared not risk it. Bob’s face was bloody, and his breathing was rapid. His hands were trembling as he gave Philip a vicious side-glare and said, “You… you dare lay hands on me! I’ll… I’ll kill you!” Up until now, Bob was still unaware of his situation. Martha was huddled in a corner. She could only watch helplessly as Philip choked her father’s neck. She yelled agitatedly, “Philip, let go at once! If anything happens to my father, I won’t let you off!” How dare the good-for-nothing do this? Nevertheless, Philip only threw a glance at Martha and said, “Martha Yates, he’s your father, not mine. He dared to hit Wynn, he has to pay the price!” With one
Bob sneered reflexively when he heard Philip’s words. Was he joking? Ten minutes and the Yates family will go bankrupt? “Philip, do you know the value of the assets the Yates have? Two billion!” Bob laughed coldly, his eyes full of contempt for Philip. “Do you really think you can make the Yates family go bankrupt with just one phone call? You’re too naïve.” Bob shook his head and suddenly felt that all his worries had been for nothing. Philip was just a little good at fighting. How could he really have the means to make someone go bankrupt just like that? Was he becoming senile? He was actually scared by that wretch. However. Philip smiled placidly and said, “Since you don’t believe me, let’s do it this way. We’ll start with Samson Yates. He’s Eric’s father, so he has failed in his responsibilities as a father to teach Eric well.” After saying that, Philip called George Thomas again. “The plan has changed. I want the Yates’’ properties to go bankrupt one by one,
His opponent was too formidable! He or she was driving him to his grave! Samson could not understand how he had provoked such an opponent. Nevertheless, he did not have the time to think about it. Samson quickly took out his phone and called his father. At the moment, only his father could save him. Very soon, Bob, who was still in the Old Johnston Manor, received a call from Samson. Bob’s ringtone was like an evil melody. Bob stared at his phone on the table for a long time, afraid to answer it. It had been less than ten minutes since Philip declared that he would make the Seafare Trading Company that belonged to Samson go bankrupt. Could it be… Impossible! “Old Master, you should pick up the call. Samson must be calling you for help,” Philip said as he sipped his tea calmly. Bob was dubious but answered the call anyway. Almost immediately, Samson’s crying voice was from the other end of the phone, “Dad, you must save me this time. My company has gone bankrupt. T
A loud, booming voice was heard from the other end of the line, containing a trace of melancholiness. “Bob, what has happened for you to call me this late at night? This is very unlike you.” Desmond Fargo was currently at home in his study room, looking at the following day’s work minutes. He was wearing reading glasses, and his hair was white at his temples. He carried the aura of someone who had been in an official position for a long time. His actions and demeanor were both stoic and resolute. Bob Yates was a good friend of his for many years. In the past, both of them were often seen hand-in-hand, achieving numerous accomplishments in the system together. Even though Bob had retired early, he still had a strong influence. That was especially true when it came to many students. Bob flicked a glance at the nonchalant Philip and said, “Desmond, my son Samson is facing some problems in his company. The tax officers got to him and said there are problems with his books. Plea
Everyone was excited to hear that Ronan had those legendary items. It was great. “Our family has to get one!” The patriarch of the Lamy family was the most excited. The members of this family had always been strong-headed and were determined to get it. The other families were unhappy to hear that. They were not that bad either, so they were annoyed by that high-handed remark. “All the major families are powerful in our own rights. I think there’s no need to conclude so quickly.” “I agree. I’m afraid you’ll hide and cry if you fail to get one. That'll be embarrassing.” “Even the major families are not confident about this. Who do you think you are to get it?” Everyone targeted the swell-headed Lamy family even though they were indeed big and powerful enough to steal the treasure from them. The Claude family was the most excited yet regretful. Instead of feeling happy that the families were bickering with each other, they were worried. Although the families were fighting
Besides, Philip mentioned that he would help Ronan make a name for himself. The storage rings that Philip provided were quite meager, with only 30 to 70 cubic feet of storage space each. However, that did not stop Ronan from admiring Philip. He knew that Philip had various treasures, but he was willing to share them with Ronan, which was too generous for words. To prevent Ronan from getting the short end of the stick, Philip also provided some common things for doing business. Due to this, Ronan wanted to serve Philip. In their world, the best way to express gratitude was to acknowledge the other party as their master. It was not only to seize the opportunity but also to find a good roof over their head. Thinking of this, Ronan did not dare to call Philip his brother anymore. Ronan decided to approach Philip at night and find a way to acknowledge him as his master so that he could serve Philip wholeheartedly. Philip had no idea about Ronan’s thoughts. He was still think
Everything Rabbit owned, including the storage space and various treasures, was given by Philip. So, Rabbit could come up with some amazing things for these people to please him. Rabbit felt very proud of this accomplishment. “Ahem, everyone, follow me! I know you’re eager to see Philip, but you have to follow the rules. Don't be as rude as the Claude family!” Rabbit said calmly. He was very unhappy with the Claude family. Hearing that, members of the Claude family were livid. They were shocked by Rabbit's words. He was deliberately putting them down! Those remarks were likely to affect their status among the major families. That off-handed tone might cause other major families to reject them. “I’m surprised that this family would be so arrogant and disrespect you!” “How could they treat that precious storage space so carelessly? I say, those people are too bold to disregard such a valuable treasure!” “This family is stupid and arrogant. Let's ignore them to avoid any ass
However, Cameron and his people were arrogant enough to lock Philip up. How dare they?! “Cameron, you went too far!” “I never knew that the Claude family were such people. I really misjudged you before. You’re really too much for treating such an amazing person that way.” Everyone pretended to be angry and kept speaking up for Philip, trying to please Rabbit and indirectly please Philip. Cameron was startled by Rabbit’s words, which easily landed him in trouble. “No, that's not exactly the case. I didn't lock Philip up but gave him a place to stay. How would I dare to lock up such a powerful person? You really think too highly of me.” However, Cameron’s explanation was useless. Everyone believed that Cameron locked Philip up on purpose, so they wanted to get him into trouble. Whether Cameron locked Philip up or treated Philip as a valuable guest, they wanted to ruin Cameron’s reputation. Once they got rid of Cameron, they could focus on pleasing Philip. “You must be
Cameron smiled awkwardly at everyone’s dissatisfaction. “That’s not the case. I'm still trying to figure out the situation. I thought I might make a mistake if I released the news in advance,” Cameron explained awkwardly. Although few people bought it, they put aside their prejudices. After all, they were not here to argue but to talk about it. If Cameron was driven into a corner and refused to tell them anything, they would be on the losing end, and no one wanted that outcome. “In that case, tell us what you know so that we can put our heads together. After all, there's strength in numbers. It’s better to do this together!” “I agree with the Lamy family's patriarch. Tell us your reservations so that we can figure it out!” Everyone made a din, clearly forcing Cameron to give in to their demands. Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Cameron finally decided to tell the truth. “What’s going on?” Before Cameron could tell them anything, Rabbit appeared. Rabbit hopped
At this time, the Claude family’s butler found the residence's doorstep surrounded by people. The butler was horrified and quickly found the patriarch. “Oh no, something bad has happened!” The butler ran into the room in disbelief. The excited Cameron scowled at this sudden intrusion. “What’s bad? Watch your words. Have you forgotten your manners? Don’t speak so loudly in this house!” Cameron had been lost in his excitement, but it was quickly replaced by anger. He wished he could fire the butler on the spot.The butler was scared and felt sorry for himself. “Patriarch! I wasn’t kidding. Something bad has happened!” “People from other families are at the door, including the heads of their families! They keep talking about some storage space and a rabbit, demanding an explanation from us. I don’t know what’s going on!” The butler felt aggrieved because he had no idea what happened. He only knew that a rabbit that could speak human language had turned up in the family. That ra
Philip had that precious tea on hand. Just one mouthful was enough to improve Cameron’s strength. He also had that incredible storage space. What was Philip’s background? How many mysterious treasures did he have? No one dared to think about it. Especially Cameron, who felt that he had found a treasure this time. At first, Cameron bore a grudge against Philip and felt that he had messed things up, but now, he saw Philip as his salvation.… Meanwhile, Sadie had no idea what had happened. Sadie’s husband was dealing with Philip’s issue with Cameron and did not have time to report the situation to his useless wife. She was still thinking about how to deal with Philip. “The rabbit’s storage space must be very valuable. If I spread the news about it, everyone will mess with that rabbit and save me the effort!” Thinking of this, Sadie thought she was very smart and was eager to put the plan into action. After thinking about it, Sadie contacted several families who were on go
“What are you guys doing here? Don’t you have anything better to do?” Rabbit asked bluntly. This arrogant rabbit was even more outspoken after staying with Aslan for so long. The Claude family felt offended. “My child, do you have a storage space? How did you get it? Can you tell me more?” Cameron ignored Rabbit but asked Ronan excitedly, eager to find out the situation. Ronan nodded calmly. “It’s just a storage space. Stop kicking up a fuss over it. My space is not very big, just enough to contain this house at most. It’s not a big deal,” he said pretentiously. Hearing that, Philip silently gave him a thumbs-up. He did not forget Ronan’s exaggerated expression when he first saw the size of the storage space. Surprisingly, Ronan got into the role so quickly. Philip thought he was a good actor. Ronan's casual remarks nearly caused everyone a mental breakdown. They were shocked as if they heard something incredible. “What? Is the space that big?” Cameron coughed violently.
“You can form a bond with the ring. Once that’s done, no one can take it away from you. It’ll belong to you forever.” Philip’s explanation reassured Ronan, and he finally accepted the gift from Philip with confidence. Although Ronan was strong, he was not arrogant to the point of being ignorant. If someone could take it from him, he would rather not have it. Although it was gratifying to own one, it would be painful to lose it after having it. With Philip’s affirmation, Ronan fidgeted with the ring happily and wanted to express his gratitude. Philip simply waved his hand without dwelling on it. “That’s enough. Go explore the storage space on your own. I believe it’ll help you greatly. “Since they’re so interested in Rabbit's storage space, you should show it off to them. I believe they’ll immediately hold you in high regard and maybe they’ll deal with those arrogant guys in the family.” Philip was excited at this mean trick and laughed when he thought of those people’s ugly
