As Frank watched this scene, he suddenly felt that the rebuking man was very pitiful.Yes, he used to mock Philip this way too.The result, however?He was punished severely!Even if it were the Longford family, they were nothing compared to Clarke Group of Capital City!“Philip, why are you only here now? Do you know that we’re being driven out? Is this your arrangement? For us to be embarrassed and made a laughing stock?”Martha was enraged. She got up angrily from the ground and twisted her huge butt as she approached Philip before slapping him.However, Philip dodged the blow. He glared at her coldly and said with a deep frown, “Mom, did you ask me to come here and solve the problem or to give others a good show?”Before this, when Martha hit him, he would just bear with it.Today, he did not wish to tolerate it anymore.Anyway, they would find out the truth later, so why should he continue to bear with it?Martha also felt a little guilty under Philip’s glare, but due t
Mickey saw so many security guards approaching, and he smiled menacingly. “F*cker! You’re dead this time! Since you dare to cause trouble here, just wait to visit death’s door!”However, before he finished speaking, his voice stopped abruptly!All the Longford security guards that rushed in just now all stood neatly behind Philip and bowed respectfully with a shout, “Mr. Clarke!”Mr. Clarke?Mickey was dumbfounded!What was going on here?Even he, Mickey Cage, did not enjoy such privilege from the Longford security guards.Could this pathetic brat be someone of importance?Martha and the rest were also stunned!What kind of Mr. Clarke was this trash supposed to be?Were all the Longford security guards blind?“It’s fine, you came very quickly. I don’t want to see these two ever again. Throw them out,” Philip said placidly before turning around to leave.A group of security guards looked at Mickey, and without saying a word, they dragged him out.“F*ck! How dare you touch m
Philip turned around, glanced at everyone, and said, “Is there a problem?”Everyone was struck dumb at that question.Martha’s expression was very ugly. Where did this useless Philip find the money to buy First Palace?It was not a lie, right?“Sister-in-law Martha, what exactly is going on here? This villa is worth 200 million? How did you get so much money?”Gina was very anxious. This luxurious villa was many times bigger than the ones they passed by just now. It was really like a palace.Did Martha not claim that they could not afford a villa? What was the situation now?A bluff?“Calm down, we haven’t gone in yet. Who knows what Philip is up to? If we can’t go in later, we’ll just wait for him to embarrass himself.”Paula was most upset. She was initially here to taunt Philip today, but now, she simply could not accept the scene before her.She looked back at her son-in-law with a questioning look in her eyes, seemingly to ask if he could afford to buy this place.Frank
“Sister Gina, what’s going on here? How can Philip buy such a villa? It’s 200 million!”Amelia pulled Gina to one side, her face full of jealousy and defiance.She was very upset. They were all part of the Johnston family. Why could Martha’s family afford to buy such a villa?Gina was also very sullen. They had already planned to come here and mock that good-for-nothing Philip. Everyone was confused by the unfolding of events now.“I don’t know either. Hasn’t her son-in-law been very useless all this time? Where did he get so much money?”Gina said with a face full of doubts. She looked at Philip who stood at one side with Wynn and felt very uneasy.“Didn’t you see how the security guards treated Philip with such respect just now? This guy is not a hidden rich second generation, is he?”Martin interrupted at this moment, and Bernard also nodded suspiciously.Gina nodded but did not take it seriously. If Philip was really a hidden rich second generation, why would he endure quie
“Hello, Madam, the current owner of First Palace is… Miss Lynn Johnston and Mr. Philip Clarke.”The attitude of the property management personnel was very friendly, and the reply given was very enthusiastic.“What? Say that again!”Martha got a fright. Her eyes widened as she could not believe her ears.“It’s Miss Lynn Johnston and Mr. Philip Clarke.” The female clerk of the property management repeated cheerfully.Thump!With a twitch of her heart, Martha turned around and stared at the smiling Philip and Wynn.The villa really belonged to her family!First Palace!200 million!Martha began to float. With her mood now elevated, an arrogant look started to appear on her face.First Palace actually belonged to her family now!“Wait a minute.”Martha immediately switched the phone to the hands-free option and placed it on the tea table. With her arms and legs crossed, she looked very snobbish as she said, “Speak louder, who’s the current owner of First Palace?”The female v
“Wynnie, what’s going on here? When did you buy a villa? Why didn’t you tell me? Also, why is it under Philip’s name as well?” Martha asked in bewilderment.Philip stepped out and wanted to explain, but Martha glared at him while cursing, “Shut up! This has nothing to do with you. I’m asking my daughter.”Martha was very upset now. Why was that good-for-nothing’s name on the villa?Wynn looked unhappy, especially when she saw Martha chastising Philip. Could she not tell that the villa was actually bought by Philip?“Mom, actually this villa is…”Wynn was just about to reply when she was interrupted by Paula. “I know, did you buy this villa using the one billion investment from Clarke Group of Capital City?”Instantly, everyone felt that it was the truth. They were filled with envy, but at the same time, felt contempt toward Wynn too.How long had it been since she was appointed as the chairman of the company and she already started to embezzle the company’s funds? If something w
Martha was almost ready to blow a gasket. Philip actually wanted her to kneel down!This damn useless piece of trash dared to be so bold!“Philip, what are you saying? I’m your mother-in-law, okay!” Martha flushed and glared.She felt very uncertain too. What if Philip really insisted on having her kneel?Argh!She was going mad!This was such a humiliation!Charles stood on one side without saying a word. This unreasonable madwoman who snarled at him every day had finally met her bane.“Charles, what are you doing? Don’t you notice that your son-in-law is acting so brazenly now? Aren’t you going to say a few words?”Martha was very upset when she saw Charles acting as if this matter had nothing to do with him.Charles smiled and said, “Philip, just forget about the matter. We’re a family, after all. What your mother-in-law said this morning was just spiteful words. Don’t take it to heart. No mother-in-law should be forced to kneel to the son-in-law. If any outsiders find out
On the other side, Philip had just left First Palace not too long ago when his phone rang. It was Chloe calling him. “Philip, today’s my birthday. Don’t forget to come and accompany me.”Philip was taken aback when he heard this. Then, he recalled that he had promised to do so. “Okay, I’ll be there later.”“Okay, I’ll pick you up?” Chloe was very happy as she asked.“No need.” Philip shook his head.He had not cleared up his relationship with Chloe Sommerset yet. If she sent a luxury car to pick him up, it would never be cleared up!He did not wish to be seen by others and for gossip to spread later.“Give me the address. I’ll hail a cab later.”“Okay, once you get here, just tell them my name.” Chloe nodded, feeling a little disappointed.After he hung up, Philip thought for a moment and decided not to tell Wynn.He did not want Wynn to overthink this matter. Besides, he had another purpose tonight, and that was to have a showdown with Chloe.Chloe’s birthday party was being
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
Lincoln had a very good reputation, so the guild members dropped their guard and started to complain about everything. “Grandmaster, we've been having a hard time. Hogster always deducts our practice resources and gives them to the women he likes. It’s infuriating. We don’t even have that many resources to begin with,” a member said miserably. He had good talent, but Hogster did not give him any good resources, so his level remained stagnant. All his resources had been given to the women who had caught Hogster’s fancy. Lincoln scowled upon hearing this. How could Hogster take other people’s resources? He would not allow this to happen. “They also tried every means to arrange a political marriage with the Celestial Palace, but the agreement fell through, and they badmouthed the other party for it!” “They defamed the young lady of the guild, and now, they're furious at us. Their wrath is not a joke. Moreover, someone solved the side effects of their practice technique, but we'v
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
