Philip wanted to discuss with Wynn about some beauty products. He did not expect to encounter this scene. Philip walked briskly to Wynn and looked at her with concern. Many surrounding women were fascinated by Philip's handsome appearance and exclaimed in amazement. “What a handsome man. It’d be great if I could marry him!” “Hey, it looks like he’s here for Madam Johnston.” “Is he Madam Johnston's husband who has disappeared for many years?” Various comments could be heard. Everyone watched and waited to find out the truth behind this complicated relationship. Mack looked at Philip indifferently. He did not expect someone to have such close contact with Wynn! As soon as Philip approached, he patted Wynn on the shoulder and even pinched her face! How could Mack tolerate someone touching Wynn in front of him? He immediately felt as if Wynn had cheated on him! “Hey, goofball, her husband is here. Do you still have the cheek to stay here?” Cole scorned. Seeing the c
The secretary knew very well that if the company went bankrupt, she would lose a good job. Madam Johnston was a very good superior that no one wanted to lose. Even the security guards looked at Cole impatiently, sharing the same resentment for him. “Whoever is spreading rumors, get away from here. Do you have any evidence?” one of the security guards shouted with a loudspeaker. Hearing this, the onlookers realized that although the other party accused Wynn of killing, they were simply shouting about it. Without actual evidence, what was the point of this protest? Everyone watched mockingly. They felt that these people were probably lying. This matter had nothing to do with them anyway. Everyone watched the excitement without taking it too seriously. Cole was extremely unhappy with Philip's attitude, but his father had warned him not to go against Philip openly. After much thought, he did not mock Philip but focused on Wynn instead. “You want evidence? I can get it for
To keep a low profile, Wynn was not aggressive in developing the company. Now that Philip was back, there was no need to live in fear anymore, so the company did not need to keep a low profile either. Therefore, Philip’s first step was to expand his market aggressively. Very soon, everyone watching the live broadcast knew exactly what had happened, and those who had sold their stocks regretted it instantly. They spent a huge fortune to buy the shares in this company, but they sold them without hesitation. They were simply blinded! Everyone regretted their actions and wanted to buy back the shares, but it was just a dream. When they looked at the company's shares, they discovered that the controlling shareholder was the same person. It was Wynn Johnston. “They're so smart. They bought all the shares when we sold them!” “What an ingenious method! Who's the one behind this?” “We must pay close attention to this company. It must be an amazing dark horse!” Everyone on th
If Philip could easily kill a practitioner and still appear in public fearlessly, it proved that he was no ordinary person. In an instant, the crowd was divided into three factions. Some people chose to stay neutral, not expressing any opinions on this matter. They simply watched rationally. Some people tried their best to flatter Cole, wanting to get into his good books. The really smart ones stood on Philip’s side, looking at the actions of these stupid people. “Since this matter involves practitioners, let’s get the Practitioner Society to handle it.” Seeing the stalemate, a reporter made a good suggestion. Laws and morality could be used to restrain ordinary people, but this was a fight between practitioners. Ordinary people could not get involved. In that case, it was better for the Practitioner Society to resolve it and let the truth come to light. Besides, everyone already knew the truth. Cole had made it clear that they wanted to mess with Wynn. Even if Celia wa
Cole became extremely arrogant when he saw the people of the Practitioner Society. As a rich kid who often got into trouble, he was very familiar with them. He was well acquainted with these two people. Even if he did cause some trouble, he just had to greet them and everything would be resolved. The Practitioner Society always received some benefits from the Skater family, so they were more inclined to side with the Skater family. “My lord and my lady, this guy killed my sister. I wanted him to give me an explanation, but he humiliated me instead! More importantly, he said that all practitioners are losers. I came looking for trouble in a fit of anger!” At this point, Cole burst into tears as if he had run into some serious trouble. The onlookers looked at him in disbelief. They thought Cole was an idiot, but it was more than met the eye. For Cole to admit his crime so openly proved that he was confident enough to get away with it. Even if the Practitioner Society was
Once Philip died, this beautiful woman would be his. Hearing this, Philip nodded thoughtfully. Cole inwardly chastised Philip for being a fool! As if he remembered something, Cole said, “By the way, they hit me when I wasn’t looking!” Philip felt amused at Cole’s accusation. Cole felt that the outcome had been decided, so the next step was to deal with Philip. He accused Philip of whatever he could think of. Gavin looked very pleased. This guy was so smart. He was still looking for an excuse to deal with Philip, but Cole had already mentioned several points. “Now that Young Master Skater has identified you, come with us,” Gavin said coldly. He was certain that Philip was the suspect and wanted to arrest him. Wynn was in a panic. Although she knew that nothing would happen to Philip, she was still worried. “Since you insist that I hit a practitioner, it’d be a shame if I didn’t.” Philip blinked in mock seriousness. Everyone shuddered at Philip's harmless appearance
He knew that the man who messed with the third young master of the Skater family was not very strong, but his skills were extraordinary! Every move was illusory and unfathomable. In comparison, the skills and techniques they owned seemed insignificant. After Philip displayed his technique, Gavin's energy resonated slightly as if he wanted to submit to the other party! Gavin glanced at his companion in horror and found that the other party was looking at him in disbelief too. “You feel it too?” Gavin asked, dumbfounded. His eyes were full of horror. He could not figure out what was going on. He wondered what Philip’s background was to possess such power that made his technique submit to him! “Let’s stay put for the time being. This person is not that simple, mostly likely a descendant of a reclusive family. His accent doesn’t sound local. Maybe he’s a renowned figure from out of town, someone we can't afford to mess with.” Gavin discussed it with his companion and finall
Seeing that Philip was safe and sound, Preston was relieved. The only victim, Cole, looked at Philip in agony. He wanted Philip to clarify that he really did not do anything this time. However, why would Philip speak up for him? He was not stupid! “I’ve warned you repeatedly not to mess with my teacher and his wife. Is this the Skater family’s stance?” Although Preston was very young, he was terrifying when he lost his temper. “You can wait for my family’s revenge next,” Preston sneered and tossed Cole aside without further ado. Cole looked no different from a dead man now. Preston’s subordinate caught Cole and tossed him into the car. To them, this guy was no different from a piece of cargo that could be tossed around at will. Cole had passed out in anger, but he woke up when Preston tossed him to the ground. He bared his teeth and was about to scream when he was tossed into the car, where he passed out again. “Teacher, are you okay?” Preston asked nervously. It
Yule was amazed by the person in the portrait, not expecting to see such a beautiful woman. He was somewhat skeptical after seeing the drawing. He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. Could it be the other party’s imagination? “Don’t worry, Yule. This woman is definitely real. I have an eye for beauty, so I’d never make a mistake.” Yule nodded at his subordinate's suggestive expression. Even if he was unreliable in other aspects, he would never mess up in this area. He was notorious for hanging out in various entertainment venues and was not a good guy. Yule quickly made copies of the woman’s portrait and spread the news everywhere. He looked forward to meeting this beautiful woman as soon as possible. In the meantime, Aslan finished his meal and walked on the streets idly. Yule stood on the streets, confident that he would find the woman with so many people helping him. “Hey, what's going on? Why is Foxy’s portrait posted everywhere? Has someone discovered he
“No matter what I do next, you and your people just need to go with the flow. If you agree, I’ll do my best to take care of the beast problem immediately. Of course, you don't have to worry about my source of information. My lips are sealed on this topic.” Yule quickly reached an agreement with these people. Then, Yule arrived at a remote house where all his men were hiding. He asked his men to do something unlawful for him, and they entered the beast forest by mistake because they wanted to escape justice, but they ran into Foxy by accident. Foxy realized from birth that she and her kind had a grudge against humans, but she was an inexperienced youngling, after all. She did not know much about humans and failed to notice their ulterior motives. The other party took note of Foxy’s appearance and made a detour back to safety. Yule arrived at his subordinate’s house anxiously. “Tell me everything you know about that person again. I have some information but it’s not compreh
“Let’s do it this way. We can treat this as a test. If he can solve this problem, we’ll give him a chance.” “That’s a good idea. The beasts have always been a thorn in our sides. It’ll be great if we can take care of this once and for all.” “Since he looks so confident, maybe he can really resolve this. We might as well make use of him to get rid of this problem.” “The beasts have been fighting with us for many years. We can save a lot of trouble if this plan succeeds.” Everyone expressed their opinion and seemed very keen to rely on Yule to solve this difficult problem. Ten minutes were soon up, and Yule quickly returned to the room. He looked very relaxed and even had a drink in his hand. “So, gentlemen, are you done with the discussion? Do you have a better suggestion for my future development?” Yule smiled triumphantly, obviously certain of his victory. As he expected, everyone chose to give in. After all, this was not something anyone could do. Yule would be the best
Yule felt very smug after seeing everyone’s reactions. Clearly, these people could only rely on him to take care of this problem. “Since you’re so curious, let me explain. Indeed, someone is controlling the situation behind the scenes. She can easily control the beasts with her ability. However, I don’t know the woman’s identity. Maybe she’s a powerful being or just an ordinary person. Who knows?” Yule's subordinates were the ones who told him what they saw that day. “I know that woman’s appearance, so I know what to do. You don’t have to worry about it.” Everyone glanced at each other with a grim look, wondering if they should believe Yule. After all, Yule knew something they did not. “Hehe, I just wanted to tell you my plans, that’s all.” Yule wanted to take control of the initiative. The elders and people in charge looked worried. They knew exactly what Yule wanted. “I want a certain authority. Of course, it should be higher than my father’s limit. As you know, I’ve al
Compared to the money they earned at Deadly Arena, the accommodation fee was nothing. Therefore, many people chose to stay in the living quarters provided by Deadly Arena and thought the environment was quite good. The people of Deadly Arena knew about the crisis they were facing. Something felt wrong, so they had to pay attention to it. “Don’t you find the beasts acting strangely this time? They didn’t seem interested in our things but simply left after giving us a warning.” “Yeah, I think something is wrong too. There must be a secret behind it. We have to figure it out.” The people in charge of Deadly Arena gathered for a meeting over this major incident. Yule looked at everyone with disdain as if he thought they were worried over nothing. “The beasts obviously recognized our strength, so they backed away. Stop worrying over nothing.” Yule had always thought highly of himself and looked down on everything. Hearing this, everyone scowled and wished they could teach Yule
“Foxy was the one controlling the beast stampede earlier. The beasts would've razed this place to the ground if I hadn't stopped them in time.” Philip shook his head helplessly. The fence around Deadly Arena had been flattened during the stampede, enough to prove how terrible the earlier battle was. “But of course!” Foxy nodded smugly. The people here would probably be in bad shape if she had not stopped the attack in time. Philip smiled and shook his head. “This young lady is a force to be reckoned with. She simply had to blow a flute to control all the beasts.""I'm sure that all the guilds will try every means to capture Foxy if they find out about her ability,” Lyle said, envious of her ability. Aslan sighed awkwardly. As a monster beast, he had no ability in other areas at all. He could only use his brawn to intimidate others. As if he felt the difference in strength, Aslan lowered his head and was too embarrassed to say another word. Foxy chatted with everyone happil
Aslan was surprised to see Philip bringing a petite and beautiful woman back all of a sudden. “Hey, Philip, where did you pick up such a beautiful woman? I'm so envious.” “You sure have luck with women, Philip. You picked up such a beautiful woman just by going out. It’d be great if I have such luck too.” Aslan and Lyle started teasing Philip, annoying him so much that he almost knocked them out. “Cut the crap. Her name is Foxy, and she's our new teammate. Come with me, everyone. We need to find a safe place to discuss our next plans.” Philip quickly took everyone away. He looked very excited, obviously looking forward to his next plan. Everyone nodded excitedly at Philip’s appearance. They were also curious, wondering what Philip was going to do. Since the beasts had retreated, everyone returned to the lounge area for a break without further ado. Deadly Arena would also be closed for the day and reopen the next day. The inn Philip chose for them was quite luxurious, an
Since their master was dead, these subordinates had to approach the people of Deadly Arena for help. They would be bullied without a master to take charge. They finally found a chance to join a strong employer. Now that he was dead, everyone was at a loss for what to do. “What? He’s dead? This is too much. Find out who those people are. I don’t care which force they belong to or who they have behind them, we need to wipe them out!” This person was Amos, the second in command of Deadly Arena. He knew how to deal with such provocation. “These people are too bold to touch a member of my family. Everyone knows that our children are powerful and undefeatable on this battlefield.” The second in command was annoyed and not in the mood to deal with this incident. His anger over this matter added to his initial agitation. His subordinates were surprised to see his irritation. “What’s wrong, Amos? Why are you so upset? Are the beasts up to something again?” As the second-in-comma
On the battlefield, Aslan was puzzled by the beasts’ sudden retreat. “Maybe the beasts are scared shitless by our strong combat power and decided to give up.” “You got that right. I killed several of them at once and looked really cool.” “But I have a feeling that the beasts this year are much stronger and have greater potential.” Everyone spoke excitedly. The people who killed many beasts had returned for their rewards. They thought highly of the rewards and could not wait to take all the treasures of Deadly Arena.… “Can you control the beasts from a distance?” Philip asked curiously. Foxy nodded. “I can control these beasts no matter where I am. It’s my individual talent.” Since everything went as planned, Philip pondered what to do next. “You should come with me. I’ll tell you about my next plan in detail.” Philip decided to bring Foxy into Deadly Arena. Foxy nodded seriously. She trusted Philip very much and never doubted him at all. He felt a little embarra
