“Hello Mr. Clarke, this is my name card. I’ve heard some things about Hutten Pharmaceutical.”Vernon said frankly. He did not plan to hide.When Philip heard that, he finally understood. He nodded and asked, “What do you want from me?”Vernon almost screamed out in excitement. He said, “You’re misunderstanding me, Mr. Clarke. I just want to get to know you.”Philip smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll take your name card. I’ll look for you when I need anything. Of course, you can look for me too if anything arises. You’re not too bad.”When he heard Philip praising him, Vernon felt like he had just eaten a spoonful of honey. He nodded his head and bowed.After a while, the group of them left Hodgson Tower.After they got out, Wynn grabbed Philip and asked curiously, “Do you know the chairman of Hodgson?”Philip shook his head. “No,” he said.Wynn wanted to ask something else, but Martha started to urge them impatiently. “What are you doing? Get into the car.”Wynn stopped asking a
George quickly replied, “Alright, Young Master. I’ll take care of this matter now.”After he said that, he hung up. George then started to busy himself with contacting people.However, after ten minutes, Philip still did not receive George’s phone call. He started to complain in his heart.George was never this slow before.When he was about to call him and ask about this, George beat him to it. His tone sounded helpless as he said, “Young Master, I can’t purchase Beacon Pharmaceutical.”Philip was shocked. He frowned and scolded, “What happened? Can’t you take down Beacon?”“Young Master, Beacon changed their chairperson half a month ago. Now, it belongs to Miss Chloe Sommerset.”George said. His tone sounded anxious.He really could not handle his young master’s debt in love.“Chloe? Why did she buy Beacon?”Philip was shocked. His eyebrows were knitted together tightly. Then, he understood.Was Chloe the culprit behind Beacon’s troubles?Was it because of Wynn?“Alright
Gentleman Tea Shop.Philip arrived early. He waited for about 20 minutes before a stylish woman walked in through the door.When Chloe saw Philip, her heart started racing. However, she forced herself to remain calm. She sashayed into the shop and approached Philip slowly. She sat down quietly and removed her sunglasses. Then, she looked at him calmly.“Have you waited long?” Chloe asked. Her voice was calm.“Not too long,” Philip replied. He looked at Chloe and saw that she was still as refined as ever.Even though Chloe looked calm on the surface, her heart was beating extremely fast. Her delicate hands under the table were grasping on her skirt tightly.She had not sat in front of Philip like this for a very long time.He was still so charming. An air of arrogance was coursing through his body.Other people could not detect this air around him, but Chloe could.They used to be the golden couple that everyone was jealous of. However, that was old news.“Tell me, how will yo
Wynn was shocked. She asked curiously, “You know?”Philip chuckled and said, “Yeah, I did it. I bought your company. You’re the chairwoman now, are you happy?”When Wynn heard this, she was taken aback. Then, she lifted her perfectly plucked eyebrows and said in a flirty tone, “Alright, thank you.”Wynn knew Philip liked to joke around. Her company was in a crisis and they needed 600 million in funds. How could Philip have helped her willy-nilly?“Never mind, I’m going back to work now. Did you visit Mila today?” Wynn asked.“Yeah, I’m on my way,” replied Philip. He was already in the hospital.He knew Wynn did not believe him.Whatever, then. He had more time to explain to her next time.Wynn grunted a reply and hung up after saying something.She sat in the chairperson’s office. She thought for a long while, but she still could not make sense of this.Was it really Philip?At this moment, she got a phone call from Joel. He said with a warm smile, “Wynnie, how’s your compan
’Is that Wynn Johnston? The previous beauty queen of the school has become such a golddigger.’‘Hehe, she has the appearance of an angel but a filthy heart. You’re calling her a beauty queen? How disgusting!’‘Yeah, women like Wynn will only lie to you all. She did a lot of disgusting things when she was in school. She loved stealing her best friend’s boyfriend. I think she has her eyes on a rich man now.’‘Poor Philip. Not only is he a spineless coward, but he’s being cuckolded now.’The mood of the group chat changed instantly. They were starting to criticize and denounce Wynn. They dug out all kinds of dark history and rumors about her.They were all made up by the women who were jealous of Wynn.At the same time, Philip gave Wynn a call. “Where are you?”Wynn and Joel had just arrived at Lover's Themed Restaurant. She purposely lowered her voice and said, “I’m in the office. I’m a bit busy. I’ll tell you everything when I get home.”After she said this, Wynn hung up the pho
When Joel saw that Philip was being stopped by the servers, he felt extremely pleased with himself.He was still a useless bum at the end of the day. Joel did not need to take action against him. Philip was not worth it.Alright, then. He would just let Wynn see how much of a worthless bum her husband was.The fat manager smiled flatteringly and said, “Mr. Harris, I’m sorry. I’ll kick this smelly beggar out now. I won’t disturb your meal.”After he said that, the fat manager shouted to the servers, “Why are you still standing here? Throw him out! If he dares to step foot inside, cripple him before throwing him out again. I’ll take responsibility if anything happens!”Joel looked at Philip who had been captured by the servers. He walked in front of him and scoffed. “Philip, do you know the difference between you and me now? I’m warning you to leave Wynn immediately. If not, I have a lot of ways to screw with you.”“Throw him out!”The fat manager knew his place. After Joel finish
Oh no!This entire street belonged to Tiger and that included this restaurant. Theo Zander’s properties were behind this shop as well.The fat manager was beyond terrified. In a blink of an eye, he turned into a turtle. He cowered in fear and stopped what he was doing.Theo scowled at the fat manager and yelled, “Get the f*ck over here!”The fat manager was trembling all over. He walked over to him.Slap, slap, slap!He slapped him four times continuously on the left and right sides of his cheeks. The fat manager started bleeding inside his mouth, and three of his teeth fell out!“You’re trying to throw Mr. Clarke out?”Tiger shouted and asked.“T-Tiger, no, it’s him… He’s disturbing the customers in the shop.”The fat manager looked at Philip and was puzzled. This man knew Tiger? What was going on?Plus, Tiger looked furious!“Shut up! Kneel!”Tiger flipped out and roared.Thud!The fat manager could not stand the fierce aura Tiger was radiating. He knelt almost immedia
After Wynn vomited in the restroom and washed her face, she walked out while feeling terrible. She forced out a smile and said, “It’s fine. I think the food I had for lunch is making me nauseous.”Philip nodded and grunted in acknowledgment. Then, he went into the room with her. Today, Mila was happy because her mommy and daddy were both here.Wynn was with Mila as she talked about her work with Philip. “Let’s treat Joel a meal to thank him someday.”“Why?” Philip asked in confusion.“He was the one who asked someone for help. He told me about it. Plus, there will be other pharmaceutical companies coming to work with us,” Wynn said. Even though she was reluctant, she did not have a choice. After all, he did help her.When Philip heard that, his face fell.Joel helped her?This idiot would really claim any credit he could. What did this have to do with him?“Do you really think he’s the one who helped you?” Philip asked.Wynn was taken aback. She said, “Who else could it be i
Philip shrugged at Jamie’s words. “It's just a small matter. Whether you accept the challenge or not, it's not a big deal.” Every guild had to safeguard their dignity. They had to accept the challenge or they would be seen as cowards. Philip smiled. No matter what they decided, he had a bold idea. Jamie nodded thoughtfully at Philip’s words. After some deliberation, he said goodbye to Philip. He knew what he should do. Not long after Jamie left, the news that the Celestial Palace accepted the challenge spread. They adopted a tough stance, criticizing the actions of the Hexa Guild. All the major guilds knew what was going on, but they were surprised that the Celestial Palace was brave enough to make everything public, which was no different from exposing the other party’s crimes. The Hexa Guild finally revealed their true colors. The members were ashamed of being part of the Hexa Guild. The members of the Hexa Guild knew about Lincoln's stance and were worried, wondering
Alain would be doomed if Lincoln ignored him. “No way!” Alain panicked, horrified at this development. The whole guild might be at stake if Lincoln was unwilling to help him. “I've decided not to get involved in this case anymore. Deal with the mess you created yourself. Don’t expect my help.” Lincoln was very decisive about ignoring Alain. Hearing that, everyone was in despair. “Grandmaster, don’t do this to me!” Alain knew that he was doomed. He wanted to persuade Lincoln to help him, but it seemed hopeless. Lincoln waved his hand and turned away, unwilling to lay his eyes on Alain again. In his opinion, the biggest mistake was choosing such a person as the guild leader. It did not make sense for a guild to turn out this way. If Dennis had been in charge, everything would have been different. Left in the room, Hogster and Alain looked at each other, at a loss for what to do. They had thought that Lincoln would solve the problem for them, so they just did whatever th
Alain rushed over to Lincoln to boast about his plan. He knew that Lincoln would be proud of him after hearing it. However, Alain got a slap on his face before he could even speak. He stared at Lincoln blankly, wondering what just happened. “Why did you hit me?” Alain felt embarrassed and sorry for himself. After all, Hogster and many other guild members were around. At his age, it was unacceptable to be slapped in public for no reason. The onlookers backed away in fear, avoiding eye contact with Lincoln. The murderous gaze in Lincoln’s eyes was terrifying. “Why did I hit you? Don't you know why?” Lincoln trembled in anger at Alain’s reaction. This guy had no idea what he did wrong. “I saw Philip just now.” Lincoln stared at Alain, trying to read his thoughts. However, Alain was startled and confused. “In that case, you should've seen how scared he was. That’s what he gets for offending our guild!” Alain was excited and smug at the thought of Philip being scared out of hi
Although everyone was confused, they knew that despite his arrogance, Rabbit would not accuse someone for no reason. “I went out for a walk just now, and everyone is talking about the Hexa Guild declaring war on the Celestial Palace and Philip!” Hearing that, Lincoln nearly passed out. Since everyone was talking about it, it had to be true. He never dreamed that something like this would happen right after he left. “Old man, you need to tell us what’s going on. How dare you pretend to be a nice person in front of my boss? You must be tired of living!” Rabbit was very angry at this hypocrite and wanted to yell at him. Lincoln grimaced and shook his head. He had no idea what was going on either. “I'm really sorry. Let me get to the bottom of this. If everything is true, I owe you and the Celestial Palace an explanation!” After learning about the whole incident, Lincoln knew that the Hexa Guild was at fault for everything. He felt embarrassed by this. “Sure, I’ll wait for your
Just when they thought that Rabbit would lose his temper, Rabbit laughed. “I can’t believe that the Hexa Guild is bold enough to mess with us. You gave me good news and for that, I’ll reward you handsomely!” Rabbit said with a smile. He took out a bottle of wine and handed it to the storyteller who gave him the news. It was a very precious item. The storyteller was shocked by Rabbit’s generosity. He ran to the side with the wine and started drinking it. At his level, there was no way he could finish the wine by himself. Overconsumption would lead to self-combustion, resulting in a loss rather than a gain. However, he had to drink some before someone stole it from him. The others looked at him enviously as he drank the wine, regretting not being the first person to tell Rabbit the news. The news had spread long ago, but they did not seize the opportunity and missed the wine. After Rabbit found out more details, he left, knowing full well that everyone was on his side now.
Jamie was surprised by Philip’s easygoing reaction and immediately felt the gap between him and Philip. If Jamie were in Philip’s shoes, he would be worried, but Philip was confident instead. Jamie had a lot to learn from Philip. Jamie had no idea that Philip did not take Dennis seriously at all. Philip had too many capable people under his command. He was not concerned about Dennis at all. In comparison, Dennis could be considered the most useless person under him.… On the other hand, Rabbit arrived at the market. Rabbit was quite famous among the major families by now. As a non-human with a violent temper, he was in the center of attraction wherever he went. Someone tried to kidnap Rabbit once, but not only did he fail, but the person was also beaten badly. To this day, the kidnapper was still bedridden in the hospital. Rabbit’s notorious reputation had spread far and wide, and not just anyone could deal with him. At this time, many storytellers were at the tavern tal
People in seclusion would usually not receive any news from the outside world, so contacting them would be up to luck. Therefore, Lincoln's appearance was good news for the Hexa Guild. Now that the guild was under scrutiny, Lincoln's appearance would save them a lot of trouble. Lincoln stood on the spot, looking at the yard curiously. Philip had modified the yard, so it was full of energy. Any practitioner would feel the difference at once. Jamie and the others had discovered this fact but never asked out of courtesy. Everyone had their own secret. Maybe this was Philip’s secret. Lincoln closed his eyes and felt the abundant energy. He was reluctant to leave this place that contained tens of thousands of times more energy than the place he had chosen for his seclusion. Lincoln felt conflicted. He could practice much faster in this place if the energy level remained the same. Thinking of this, he could hardly contain his excitement to practice on the spot. Seeing Jamie nex
Lincoln had never met a monster beast with intelligence! After taking a closer look at Rabbit, Lincoln had other ideas. Philip was most likely a powerful person with extraordinary strength to have such a powerful monster beast as his pet. Dennis was not a fool. Philip had to be powerful and not a coward for Dennis to willingly follow him. Thinking of this, Lincoln showed Rabbit enough respect. “Mr. Rabbit, I’m looking for Dennis from the Hexa Guild.” The guild members behind him were full of disbelief at his courtesy. They had served him for a while and knew his character very well. Lincoln would never be so polite to ordinary juniors, so this rabbit had to be unusual. Thinking of this, their attitude toward Rabbit changed from disdain to admiration. Rabbit was shocked by their eccentric behavior and looked at them skeptically. Seeing their smiling faces, Rabbit decided not to make things difficult for them. Besides, they were polite. “Oh, you’re looking for Dennis. Come
This guild member could not forget how Hogster had always stolen his resources by force. Hogster’s ugly face made him sick. Although Lincoln was back, he had lost all confidence in the guild. He just wanted to return to Dennis' side as soon as possible. Although he was a member under the guild leader, Dennis was the one who had been helping him all along. In fact, if not for Dennis’ support over the years, even Alain would not have achieved what he had today. Hence, this guild member had always been grateful to Dennis. When Dennis left, he wanted to leave with him, but due to special circumstances, he stayed until now. Unexpectedly, it came in handy. Alain was excited to hear that. In Alain's opinion, such a lowly member would not dare to lie to him, so he had to be telling the truth. He knew that this was his chance to settle everything once and for all. Alain had been worried that Lincoln would blame him, but Lincoln was deceived instead, which was great. He had nothing t
