It was quite the spectacle!That was why Riverdale was especially busy that day.The streets were filled with luxury cars, race cars, modified cars. They all surged down the roads, heading toward Dragonstone Mountain from all directions.“Mommy, why are there so many fancy cars? Where are they going?”Many children on the street were quite curious to see so many luxury cars driving past them.The adults were even more lost. What was up with the streets today?Was it a fancy car parade?In the end, even the transport department got involved, going down to the streets to maintain the order.There were simply too many luxury cars, each of them worth at least a million. There were even some that were worth tens of millions, like Aston Martins and Bugatti Veyrons!They could not afford any incidents!The streets were jampacked!All of these rich sons and daughters were stuck on the streets, slamming their steering wheels and cursing their heads off.The owners of normal cars all
The entire crowd nearly fell over from exasperation!Philip Clarke really was here as a f*cking prank, right? He had to be!Did he even know how to drive?Melody’s expression dropped a few more degrees. She was going to be utterly humiliated today.Everyone snorted at the screen, feeling utterly exasperated with Philip.“Go!”On the track, the sexy racecar model brought down the red flag she was waving!Finn’s Ferrari was the first to roar to life. It zoomed right ahead, leaving Philip in its dust.On the track, Philip’s AE86 was still parked in its original position. No one knew what he was up to.“What are you doing, Philip? Get moving!” Melody was beside herself with anxiety, so she grabbed the commentator’s mic and roared at him.Philip shrugged helplessly. “Sorry, I mistook the brake for the accelerator.”Pfft!The audience burst into laughter!Melody felt dizzy. She threw down the mic and sat back in her chair, pouting angrily and ignoring the happenings from now on.
Chase raised his eyes to look at the screen, his excitement spilling into his expression. “That wheelie has the world record for the fastest launch, and only one person ever used it. The inventor of that move was the F1 champion for four terms running. They say he’s the best racer the world has seen thus far, and some call him the international racing god. He set countless records in the racing scene that no one has managed to break to this day.”Shock washed over the audience’s expression in waves as Chase explained.In the end, they were almost numb to it all.“Do you mean that mysterious international racing god, Uncle Chase? No way.”Frederick stood in the crowd, voicing his extreme doubts.That had to be a lie!Frederick was not the only one. Many others shared his suspicions.That was insane.Chase frowned deeply. He looked at the image on the screen, his eyes filled with confusion. “I don’t know either. That mysterious racing god vanished seven years ago and was never se
On the screen, the black 86 had its tires in the gutter by the side. The car slanted, the tires rapidly spinning against the road. The friction resulted in plumes of white smoke, and the tires began to shriek as well!It took him slightly over two seconds!The car did not slow down at all!It simply lurched forth and left Finn’s Ferrari far behind!The whole action was quick and elegant!The cheers were abruptly silenced!Everyone was stunned speechless!Even the racecar girls who did not understand such things were clapping their hands to their mouths and gasping out loud!What was that just now?They had not even seen it clearly!Was that still racing?Finn was completely floored. He had been overtaken!In fact, he could not even tell how Philip did it!F*ck!In his fury, Finn slammed the accelerator, trying his best to catch up!However, after Finn personally witnessed how Philip traversed the next four hairpins, there was nothing but shock left in his heart!He had
Philip turned and spared Chase Fisher a glance before he replied, “If you’d excuse me, I’m running against time. My wife’s waiting for me at the hospital.” Pfft! Everyone else fainted again! This dude was unnecessarily pretentious! How could he just brush Chase Fisher off like he was nothing? Did he not know who Chase Fisher was? He was the vice president of the National Association Of Car Racing! He was one of the country’s best racers too! Yet to Philip Clarke, racing was just a game to play. ‘If you like it, you can have it.’Everyone might throttle him should they know of Philip’s current thoughts. Being a racer was the dream career of many young males! Instead of being irked by Philip’s attitude, Chase smiled even friendlier at him. “Should you have any free time in the future, Mr. Clarke, you’re always welcome to drop by. This is my name card.” Not rejecting him this time, Philip took the card from Chase and stuffed it into the pocket of his pants. Then,
Yolanda and her friends watched as Philip walked toward the red Ferrari, the condescending distaste for him thickening in their gazes. Even after having scolded him angrily, Yolanda stomped forward and gripped onto Philip whose hand was rummaging for the car key. She reprimanded again, “Isn’t this enough? Stop pretending already! What, do you need the few of us to shriek and fawn over you for you to stop?”‘Seriously this man… He’s going all out just to look cool. ‘How could such a nice car even belong to a worthless wretch like him? ‘At least take a look at yourself first!’ Philip frowned at the motion. “What now? This is my car.” With a mere sentence, he managed to offend all four girls at the same time. Jane’s laughter could be seen in the curve of her eyebrows even though her hand was held over her mouth. She mocked him sarcastically. “Look at him, still pretending to be all high and mighty. I can never understand why some people find the need to pretend to be some big
Of course, she showed up. Today was her sister’s engagement party after all. She had arrived after buttering herself up to the nines. What for, you ask? To meet more boys, what else? “How’s your boyfriend, Sis? I’ve only met him a handful of times. What does his family do?” Isabelle spoke, turning to look at Ruby who was evidently more interested in the contents of her phone than their conversation. Ruby smiled. “Nothing special. He treats me well though, so I thought it’s best that we get engaged first. That way, at least Mom and Dad will stop nagging, you know?” A quick flash of disappointment shone in Isabelle’s eyes. She had assumed that her future brother-in-law would be the scion of the rich. Who would have thought he was from a normal family? ‘Has my arrogant sister changed her taste in men? ‘So, she prefers the honest kind now?’Ruby’s WeChat with Mr. Wade was filled with flirtatious messages of all sorts. They had already picked a time to meet as well. She wou
“Philip Clarke!” Everyone froze the moment they saw Philip enter the private room. “Holy f*ck! That’s Philip Clarke?” There was a strange glint in everyone’s eyes as they scrutinized him all over. Who would have thought they would meet him today? Philip was confused as well. Something was off about the atmosphere ever since he stepped foot into the room, especially as he glossed over the strange look in everybody’s eyes. They were filled with unadulterated insult and contempt. “Isn’t your boyfriend’s friend a little too shoddy, Ruby? What he wears is even more miserable than your future husband.” Isabelle began to taunt. Anger rose the moment she laid her eyes on Philip’s poker face. Not only had she lost her dignity at the BMW motorcycle showroom last time, but it even cost her her job as well. This was an act of revenge she had to take!She would make him pay, and if squishing him like a bug under her foot was what needed to be done, she would. Even if it was
If Philip was at fault, Lincoln had nothing to say. However, if Hogster was the one who had caused all the trouble, he would not spare them. “I’ll get to the bottom of this. Now, tell me what’s going on with Dennis. Based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't betray the guild for no reason. He must have a reason for doing this!” Neither of them could explain what happened to Dennis. They could only say that humans were fickle. After all, they could not figure it out either. The person at fault would never admit their fault. Alain did not think that he was biased or thought that what he had done was excessive. He simply thought that Dennis looked down on him, which was why he decided to leave. Now that he was gone, Alain could say whatever he wanted, and Dennis could not defend himself. Thinking of this, Alain was very excited. He began to defame Dennis and shifted the attention away from him and his son. Lincoln scowled as he listened. Then, he returned to his room and summ
Alain was helpless. Although he had a lot to say, he could not do anything in front of Lincoln. Lincoln was stronger than him in every aspect, a force to be reckoned with. He was not someone Alain could deal with. Alain looked at Lincoln awkwardly. He wanted to appease his anger but did not know what to say. “You need to explain this to me. Why did Dennis leave? And I want to know why the guild’s reputation has become so bad. Did you do something wrong?”Lincoln heard that Dennis had been expelled and could no longer stay in the guild. Many people supported Dennis, so they were upset with Alain and tried to defame him. Hearing that, Alain knew that someone must have been talking behind his back, but he did not dare to lose his temper. He forced a smile and looked at Lincoln in a flattering manner. Before he could find an excuse, Hogster rushed over excitedly and said to his father, “Father, guess what I did to Philip? Hehe!” Hogster recounted his handiwork smugly without p
It had been years since the grandmaster went into seclusion for practice. He was not concerned about power. He once mentioned that he would not leave his seclusion unless he reached the top. Hence, no one expected to see him. “Grandmaster, you appeared at the right time. We would've been in trouble if you didn't come out!” “That’s right. Everyone is bullying us. Now that you’re out, you can help us.” Everyone complained about their grievances, feeling sorry for themselves. The Hexa Guild was in trouble, and they faced various problems too. All the major guilds were keeping a close eye on the Hexa Guild, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. The Celestial Palace planned to destroy the Hexa Guild instead of letting them off. They could not accept the initial setup, so they decided to erase the Hexa Guild from existence. Hence, the Hexa Guild had been under great pressure, with the members wishing that someone could help them. Unexpectedly, a strong expert appeared.
Ronan was his buddy, and his wife's reputation was at stake. Philip could not stand idly by. He had to help. Jamie was very fast at ordering his people to make the matter public. No one expected another dramatic turn of events. Everyone thought that the young lady of the Celestial Palace was an unchaste woman for making that decision. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Palace found a way to solve the side effects of their technique. All the major guilds were in trepidation. Although the Celestial Palace’s technique was very powerful, the side effects reduced its allure. Now that that problem was solved, everything was different. On top of that, the holy maiden and other members of the guild showed their appearance in public. Regardless of gender, everyone was beautiful without any markings on their faces. After seeing this scene, everyone knew that the Celestial Palace was about to make a comeback. Carlos was very excited and thought that Vanna was a lucky star to bring so many
After reading the letter, Alain trembled in anger, shocked that two of his strongest members would choose to leave the guild at such a critical time. Their departure was no joke. The guild could lose the guild competition at any minute! Dennis and Louis were very strong and could hold down the fort in the competition. With their departure, Alain would have fewer people to count on, and things might end up a mess. He was furious about their abrupt departure. “I need to capture Dennis. How dare he betray us?!” Alain was very upset. As a traitor, Dennis had to be dealt with. The news quickly spread, and many members found out that Dennis had chosen to leave the guild. The other elders also wondered what they should do. They knew that Dennis was a smart man and was good at judging the situation. Choosing to leave was a sign of a change to come. Everyone had their own thoughts and a rough guess about what was going on. Alain's actions not only caused an uproar but also made
A young man about the same age as him was so talented. Could anyone not be jealous? However, Louis was truly not jealous. He just wanted to learn from Philip. If Philip was really that strong, he would obey. Although Louis had a high status in the guild, he was not highly valued. That useless loser was given priority when it came to most of the resources, which made Louis upset. By right, resources should be allocated to talented people, but things were different because Hogster had a guild leader for a father. Thinking of this, Louis smiled at Philip expectantly. If Philip was worth following, he would leave the Hexa Guild without hesitation. “I want to apologize for offending you earlier. I also want to follow you, but I don’t know if I’m good enough. If you won’t consider me, I hope you can give my son a chance. He’s pretty talented.” Dennis was very polite as he apologized to Philip. Philip was surprised and thought that Dennis was quite nice. Philip invited them insi
Dennis and Louis quickly arrived at the door and knocked nervously. Rabbit opened the door this time. He did not expect to see Dennis again. He thought Dennis was here to cause trouble, so he scowled. “Why are you here again, old man? Do you want to cause more trouble for us? You’d better think twice or I’m going to get angry!” Rabbit said fiercely. Rabbit easily crushed them earlier, so they would not forget about their miserable defeat so quickly. Louis was embarrassed to hear that this rabbit had defeated his father. He had always thought that Dennis was very powerful and would not lose to a younger person no matter what. Unexpectedly, Dennis was not only defeated but lost miserably too. Louis keenly perceived that this talking rabbit was Philip’s pet and became excited. If Philip's pet was so powerful, Philip should be better. Thinking of this, he was excited and wanted to see Philip immediately. Rabbit stared at Dennis and Louis, wondering what they were up to. Denni
Celeste was surprised to see that Esther had restored her appearance. She had just seen Esther wearing a veil to cover her ugly face when they first met earlier. “Amazing! You look beautiful all of a sudden,” Celeste praised Esther from the bottom of her heart. Celeste did not know how it happened, but there had to be a reason for it. Esther smiled at Celeste. “Now that I’m beautiful, I can fully focus on taking care of Philip. Don’t worry, I won’t be worse than you.” Hearing that, Celeste was puzzled by Esther’s aggression. While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, an uninvited guest turned up at the door. It was none other than Dennis of the Hexa Guild. Dennis was not alone as he had brought his son along with him. His son was quite talented and always listened to his father's opinions. After all, he knew that he would not be where he was without his father’s guidance, and most of his father’s decisions were correct. “Father, are you sure we should leave the guild
Esther never thought that her curse could be lifted so quickly. More importantly, Esther found that all the negative energy in her body had disappeared. She took off her veil and looked at them with her true appearance. Esther was beautiful by nature, but the nasty technique had impacted her self-esteem. Now that she had regained her appearance, Esther’s confidence returned as well. “Wonderful! This technique is the perfect improved version! With this technique, our members can practice like any normal person without worrying about their appearance. Other guilds can’t kick a fuss over it or try to mess with us again!” Jamie was ecstatic and abruptly remembered a very important question. “By the way, what’s the deal with this technique? Did someone give it to you?” Jamie had to get to the bottom of it. It was very important. He would be uneasy if he did not figure out the situation. “Philip gave it to me. I don't know how he got our technique, but he’s quite good at studying
