Stanley chuckled, turned around, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and swaggered away. He left the first floor of the bar and walked to a very luxurious private room on the second floor. It was the largest and most extravagant private room in Jumbo Bar with a complete view of the entire bar! It was also why Stanley had noticed the dispute between Philip and Jake earlier on. Soon, they arrived at the private room. Stanley sat down, cheerfully poured a few glasses of specially brewed whisky for Philip and the others, and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, please have a seat.” Hearing that, Philip was not afraid and walked in. He sat down but did not take the glass from Stanley. “Just say what you need to. I don’t think there’s anything to discuss between us,” Philip said coldly. Stanley shrugged, leaned back, and said directly, “Young Patriarch Clarke, my father may not have a good impression of you, but I’m different. I hope we can be friends, close friends.” Hearing thi
Philip raised his eyebrows and said flatly, “You seem to have put much thought into this. If I understand correctly, will you join forces with your father against us if I don’t agree to cooperate with you?” Stanley shrugged and said, “It’s not impossible. After all, no one wants another enemy.” Philip got up and said, “Thank you for your kind intentions, then. In three days, I’ll see you at the disciple competition.” With that said, Philip turned around and left with Fennel and the others. After Philip left, Stanley finished the drink in his hand and made a beckoning gesture. He said to a bodyguard behind him, “Follow them and watch their movements. Report everything back to me.” “Yes, Young Master!” The special bodyguard responded respectfully before he turned and left the bar. At the same time, another person walked in from the door. This person was eight feet tall and walked briskly with an imposing air. He was none other than the master of Terrain Villa, Ernest Turn
Stanley laughed and said, “Villa Master Turner, the outcome is still uncertain. As far as I know, Philip has recruited three helpers. Plus Ray Warren and the other person from the South, they have a 60% chance of winning.” Hearing this, Ernest was taken aback before he laughed and said, “Young Master Berry, you worry too much. What sort of helpers can he find? Villa Master Hopper and I have already figured it out. Even if he can find helpers, he only has a 40% chance of winning. If Philip and Fennel face Young Master Berry and Young Master Singer, the 40% chance will drop to 20%. There’s nothing to fear.” Stanley shook his head and said, “Didn’t you notice the other two behind him when they left just now?” Ernest jolted at this question, and he carefully recalled the scene just now. Indeed, there were three people behind Philip just now. Apart from Fennel, he did not know the other two. Were those two the participants in this competition? However, something was amiss. Ernes
Ernest stopped and looked at Cyril with narrowed eyes. He made a swiping motion across his neck and said, “Find some people and make things difficult for those guys. As long as they can’t participate in the competition or are dead, victory will be ours!” Cyril was stunned for a moment and said worriedly, “Villa Master Turner, he’s the young patriarch of the Clarke family, after all. Even Young Master Berry doesn’t dare to so casually lay a finger on him. As the weaker force, if we make a rash move, maybe it’ll cause unnecessary trouble. Moreover, they’re not weak. If we send normal people over, we’ll just be sending them to their deaths.” Ernest’s eyes froze, and he said, “You’re wrong. If we can’t kill them, we can take action against their families. For example, the Warren family of Golden City, the parents of Ray Warren, and his brother and sister-in-law. The other one is Tony Hart’s daughter. If we capture them, do you think the other two will still compete?” Hearing this, Cy
Philip was furious and smashed the wine glass in his hand! At this moment, he was full of chills. The killing intent filled the entire suite. Leon Jefferson also scowled. He clenched his fists angrily and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, Ernest Turner and his people are too vicious to think of such a malicious trick! “The killers they secretly sent out last night were all expert disciples with strength in the fifth zone. For them to deal with secular people is simply massacre!” “The Warren family and Hart family, including all the servants and non-core personnel were slaughtered overnight! “The remaining head of the Warren family, including Ray Warren’s brother and sister-in-law as well as Tony Hart’s daughter were all kidnapped. Their bodies weren’t found at the scene.” At this point, Leon’s anger became more intense. He never expected that Ernest and Cyril would do such an inhumane thing just to lower their odds of winning! Overnight, 72 people died tragically! The im
Ernest smiled smugly. “Hmph, in my opinion, the young patriarch of the Clarke family is just an immature boy. He’s nothing worth mentioning. In front of people like us, he has no choice but to back down because this is Beechwood City, the territory of Terrain Villa!” Ernest said solemnly with irresistible severity. “Pass my order. From today on, no guests are allowed! Especially Philip or his friends, if they’re here to question us, refuse them directly.” Ernest said to a few subordinates behind him. “Yes, Villa Master!” Several subordinates responded and left to execute his order. Cyril smiled and said, “Let me say my congratulations in advance for your victory in this year’s disciple competition.” Ernest laughed, turned around, and said to Cyril, “Villa Master Hopper, you’ve made your contribution in this matter too. As long as we can stabilize the position of Terrain Villa and defeat Young Patriarch Clarke, the entire South will be under our control. When the time com
Leon quickly said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, that’s too risky. Ernest has already done such a thing. If you go meet him now, I’m worried something may happen to you.” Leon had a point. After all, Ernest even dared to assassinate the Warren and Hart families, which meant that he was no longer afraid of Philip’s identity. Such a person was the most dangerous. Hearing that, Philip chuckled and said, “Hehe, I just want to meet him and see what he wants to do.” After that, Philip's eyes twinkled coldly. By daring to do this, Ernest was opposing Philip. Seeing this, Leon made no further comment and just said, “Let me go with you, then. Even if something happens, we can look out for each other.” Philip turned to look at Leon and said, “Okay, you can make the arrangements, then. In ten minutes, we’ll set off for Terrain Villa.” “Okay.” Leon responded and quickly made arrangements. Ten minutes later, he and Philip sat in a Mercedes-Benz and headed straight for Terrain Villa.
Back to Philip’s side. Leon had started arguing with the bodyguards and was even prepared to fight. However, at this moment, someone ran down the stairs, bowed, and said with a smile, “Oh my, Young Patriarch Clarke, Villa Master Jefferson, I didn't expect you to come in person. This is an honor for our villa!” Leon frowned and looked at Cyril who came running over. He scoffed and said coldly, “Hmph, Cyril Hopper, stop playing tricks. We want to meet Ernest Turner!” Cyril smiled and said, “Villa Master Jefferson, why are you so angry? Did something happen?” Was he playing dumb? Leon could not bear it any longer. He raised his fingers angrily and chided, “Cyril Hopper, are you still playing dumb at this point? Don’t you know what you’ve done?” Leon was livid! If Philip had not reminded him not to get angry on their way here, he would have charged into Terrain Vila and destroyed everything! With a smile, Cyril said, “Villa Master Jefferson, forgive me, but I really don't u
