Chapter 26

Author: Master Yu Who Smokes
Noticing the troubled look on his face, Philip frowned slightly and asked, “Will this be difficult for you?”

Theo walked over to Philip and whispered into his ear, “Mr. Clarke, I don’t think we can lay a hand on Jeffrey Scott.” They genuinely could not.

The main reason was that Jeffrey’s uncle, Henry Turner, was an internationally famous medical magnate and was even nicknamed as ‘the Healing Hand of God’ within the country. The patients that Professor Turner had cured with his hands were the most prominent figures worldwide. Just a few words from these figures were enough to shake up the economy in a location of their preference! Among them included a few individuals who held high authority in foreign politics within their country! For example, the governor of Riverfront Province was also one of Professor Turner’s patients. He was a powerful man that no one dared to provoke.

Needless to say, everyone had great respect for this magnate of the medical industry. Whoever provoked thi

    Henry had just come out of the airport with a medical team formed by a group of stern and meticulous doctors as they followed behind him. If this scene was noticed by someone who knew the industry, they would definitely be shocked! The infamous medical team from Turner’s Hospital! They were not number one, but the only one! “Henry Turner?” Philip let out a cold laugh as his gaze fell on Jeffrey. “You should ask your nephew if he would let me meet you.” Nephew? Could it be Jeffrey? Henry seemed to have realized in an instant and quickly answered respectfully, “Mr. Clarke, there must be some sort of misunderstanding going on. Please pass the phone to Jeffrey, I’ll talk to him.” Philip mildly raised an eyebrow but tossed the phone to Jeffrey who was sitting on the sofa. “Your uncle’s looking for you.” Uncle? Jeffrey burst into anger and slammed a hand onto the table. “Bullsh*t! Why would my uncle call you?” As Jeffrey bellowed, suddenly a furious reproach sounded from the phon

    His whole body was trembling as his gaze darted around. Upon seeing Philip, he crawled over on his knees and prostrated as he begged, “Ph… Philip, Brother Philip! Seeing as I’m a colleague of Deputy Manager Johnston, please forgive me this time. I won’t ever do it again.” Philip’s eyes were cold with underlying fury. “I do not wish to see him in Riverdale City ever again.” “Yes, Mr. Clarke!” Theo was a man of the underground world, so he could easily understand the meaning behind Philip’s words. With just an eye signal, two men grabbed Gavin who was wailing and howling for forgiveness and dragged him to another room. Gavin was so frightened that he wet and soiled himself on the spot, leaving a foul smell in his wake. “It’s your turn, Jeffrey Scott,” said Philip. Jeffrey hung his head and forced a smile. “Mr. Clarke, since my uncle is Henry Turner and you’re acquainted with him, let’s not create any bad blood. Let me go this time and I will never again step foot into Riverda

    Philip nodded faintly, looking indifferent as he stood up and asked, “Professor Henry, do you have any opinion on this?” Henry glanced at Jeffrey, screaming on the floor, and then replied, “He asked for it. To have Mr. Clarke punish him for his wrongdoing is his honor.” His nephew had just been crippled, but the man said it was an honor instead. Theo inhaled a breath of cold air. He already knew that Mr. Clarke was not a regular man, but he never anticipated him to be this powerful! Henry Turner was the magnate of the medical world, the Healing Hand of God! He had cured so many prominent figures. The man was a living, breathing network! With just a few words from Henry, Theo could easily fall to the lowest level in society. At that moment, Jeffrey was still on the ground, staring at his uncle as he mumbled, “Uncle… avenge me…” Henry looked furious. Although he did not know exactly what his nephew did wrong, it must have been serious! “Director Stanley, take Jeffrey away and d

    Philip got into the Audi and continued discussing Mila’s condition with Henry. Henry had already researched Mila’s condition for half a month now, and the success rate he could come up with was 80%! That meant a very high chance of complete recovery! They went to the hospital to take a look at Wynn. She was now safe but still unconscious due to the shock. Just after Philip left the hospital entrance with Henry, Keagan, and Theo in tow, he received a call from his father-in-law. Charles was furious as he bellowed, “Philip! Where did you run off to? Where’s the painting I told you to deliver?” Slap! Philip smacked his forehead then remembered that he had left the house this morning to deliver a painting to Civil Gallery. How could he have forgotten it? Without another thought, Philip quickly said, “Send me to Southville Street.” Theo immediately went up to open the door of his Benz, inviting Philip in. Henry and Keagan, too, wanted to invite Philip into their own cars, but they

    Philip frowned at Aiden. The latter glared furiously at him and smirked. “You’re even late at the simple request of delivering a painting. Aren’t you just blatantly disrespecting Uncle Johnston?” Slap! Charles had come over with an infuriated expression and slapped Philip hard across the face. He bellowed in anger, “Why do I have such a useless son-in-law like you? You’re an embarrassment!” This sudden slap stunned everyone inside the exhibition hall. However, there was not a trace of sympathy on these people’s faces. Instead, it was filled with mockery. Watching Charles hit Philip in front of so many people made Aiden ecstatic. Great slap! Trash like this should get slapped more often. A biting chill flashed in Philip’s eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. Lowering his head, Philip said, “I’m sorry, Dad. I was a little delayed on the way.” “Hmph!” Charles let out a cold snort. He took the painting, composed his emotions, then turned around smilingly to walk away. “Come, come,

    At this thought, Charles glanced at Philip, who was standing idly in a corner. He snorted in annoyance and mumbled, “What a useless man!” Philip noticed his father-in-law looking at him, so he gave him a bright smile, but the older man only rolled his eyes at him. Okay, so the older man really did think nothing of him. Just then, outside of Civil Gallery, a luxurious Bentley stopped at the entrance. A few female receptionists quickly rushed over. Russell Field had specifically come to Civil Gallery today because he heard that there would be a treasure from China’s Ming Dynasty displayed today. An authentic painting by Tang Bohu! He was very intrigued. The man was a famous collector in the country, so when he heard that there would be a rare piece on display, of course, he had to see it with his own eyes! Soon after he stepped into the gallery, Russell’s identity caused an uproar. “Oh god! Isn’t that President Field from Civil Trading Group?” “The grandmaster of collectors i

    With just one look, Russell could tell that this was not the painting he gave Mr. Clarke. This was a counterfeit! So, who gave this painting to Charles? It was even displayed in Civil Gallery, and it seemed like everyone here thought it was an authentic piece. While Russell was lost in thought, Charles started to talk about this painting ceaselessly, including an explanation of its origins. “Master Russell, this painting is a birthday gift from Addy. It’s a priceless piece. Would you like to appraise it?” Addy? Aiden! Russell stared at Aiden, who was smiling to his eyes with an odd look. The latter seemed full of himself. This was the man who was rude to Mr. Clarke earlier! With this, Russell now had a plan formed. Aiden, you’re dead meat! I will teach you a lesson in place of Mr. Clarke! Russell walked over to the glass display earnestly and started examining it. Everyone felt the air become tense and mysterious as they watched on. After all, this was Master Russell, a famous

    A fake! The crowd in the gallery burst into an uproar. It was actually a fake! “Impossible! How could this be a fake? We’ve all seen it before. It’s a genuine piece.” Charles quickly explained. “Although I’m not as famous as Master Russell, I can still tell a painting’s authenticity. How could this be a fake?” Russell knew that Charles would be in denial, so he analyzed the painting on the spot. “This painting could be said to be mistaken for the genuine piece. It’s not surprising if you guys can’t tell. But if you all take a closer look, the lines on these few figures are not full enough. There is an obvious gradient shown on the lines and color. This is a defect caused by machines, and it’s very subtle so many people can’t actually tell…” As the crowd listened to Russell’s explanation, they finally realized the truth. “So, it’s a fake! Charles Johnston, you’re too much!” “Yeah! After a whole day of suspense, you ended up showing us a fake instead! What gives?” In an insta

    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
