The father and son chatted and laughed in the study as if they had new plans for future development. Soon, Montel stopped his car in the Tampa family’s garage. Montel lamented them for being spendthrifts at the rows of luxury cars parked there. Although the Zucker family was wealthy too, they believed that all their money should be left for the Clarke family, so they lived frugally. Even the luxury cars they had were earned by doing business in secret over the years. The Clarke family had been kind to the Zucker family, so the latter had been repaying their kindness for generations. The Tampa family was no different from the Zucker family. They had both received help from the Clarke family, but their choices at critical moments were completely different. Some people chose loyalty while others chose betrayal. Montel did not know all these. He arrived at the Tampa family's reception hall, which looked spacious and bright, worthy of a wealthy aristocratic family. “You must
This guy's daughter had grown up so much in the blink of an eye. Philip felt a little emotional and was about to give the other party a sum of money for her living expenses when several voices rang behind him. “Hey, why didn’t you set up your stall today? Have you prepared the protection fee?” “Don’t hide in your house and pretend that you’re not there. You have to pay double the protection fee because of the delay this month. Hand over 5,000!” Hearing the punks’ remarks, the surrounding neighbors quickly shut their doors for fear of implication. The passersby also ran away for fear that these punks would target them for money. They were poor people living in slums and had no money to pay these punks a protection fee. At first, they would contact the police, and these people had been detained several times. However, after they were released, they acted as if nothing had happened and increased their efforts to look for the whistleblowers. In the end, everyone gave up, kn
Jenny was quite pretty and could be considered one of the top beauties in this average small town. Although she just reached adulthood, her figure had developed better than many adult women. Crusty and his underlings had set their eyes on Jenny for a while, but when Jenny’s father was around, they could not do anything. Now that Jenny's father was dead, they could hardly wait to take advantage of the situation. “You! I’ll never agree to this!” Jenny stepped back and grabbed the door handle, trying to close the door while the other party was not paying attention. She lived here alone and had to be careful. Philip felt very satisfied when Jenny rejected the other party decisively. He wanted to help, but now was not the right time. “Boys, go in and trash the place up. Throw away all the things she’d use to set up the stall. Let’s see how she can do business without those things!” At Crusty’s command, everyone sprang into action. They pushed Jenny aside and tried to barge
All of them had entered prison many times and were very familiar with the routine at the police station. It was no big deal to stay there for a few days and come out fresh again! They had a lot of time on their hands anyway. Philip smiled and comforted Jenny. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this. What kind of snacks do you sell? Go and prepare some for me.” Philip tried to send Jenny away. If a fight broke out later, the bloody scene would not be suitable for a girl like her. Jenny bit her lip at Philip’s gentle demeanor. “Mister…” She knew that the man in front of her was her father's acquaintance. Now that her father had passed away, the man did not have to help her. These punks were very good at fighting, while this guy looked like a scholar. Could he beat the punks? Moreover, he would be in big trouble if he messed with such punks! “Go on, leave this to me.” Philip smiled and patted Jenny on the head. He turned around and stood in front of Jenny, giving her enou
Jenny was on tenterhooks as she prepared some mashed potatoes for Philip. When she looked up and saw this scene, she laughed out loud. At the sound of Jenny's clear and melodious laughter, Crusty felt as if he had lost all dignity as a man. He angrily fished out a blade and rushed at Philip. He just wanted to teach this ignorant man a lesson at first, but it seemed that it would be a fight to the death now. “You son of a bitch, I’m going to kill you today!” Crusty roared and rushed toward Philip. Philip unhurriedly grabbed Crusty’s right hand that was holding the knife and exerted some force. Philip crushed Crusty's wrist, and the blade fell to the ground. Miserable screams that echoed throughout the building followed. After years of roaming the streets, Crusty had never been humiliated like this! He clutched his broken wrist in pain, at a loss for what to do. “This is simply horrific!” The other two punks trembled at this scene. Very soon, a stinky smell wafted over.
Philip looked at the three punks rolling in the corridor and snorted. He said, “If you want to stay alive, get out of my sight. Don't let me see you again.” “O-Okay, we’ll leave right away!” the three quickly replied in fear. After this beating, their fear of Philip was over the top. Even though their legs were broken, they had to get out of there even if they had to crawl! The neighbors saw this scene through their windows. They looked at the young man in stunned silence, surprised that he was so powerful. The doors opened one after another, and the neighbors began to applaud. They cursed the punks and praised Philip. As Philip entered her shabby apartment, Jenny felt an inferiority complex. “Thank you for helping me just now. If not for you, I can’t imagine what would've happened.” Jenny thanked Philip from the bottom of her heart. At the same time, she was grateful that her father was so smart to have met such a powerful and handsome guy. He saved her life at a criti
Philip did not expect so many things to have happened in this duration. Who exactly betrayed him, the Clarke family, and even harmed his good buddy? “Do you know how that person is?” Jenny trembled at Philip’s sudden serious tone. “I only know that the other party was referred to as some king? I didn’t hear the details clearly. My father didn’t let me get involved in such things.” Jenny told Philip everything she knew. Although Philip roughly knew what Fenrir had gone through, he still could not identify the person who wanted to harm Fenrir. “My father has served the young patriarch of the Clarke family all his life. He once told me that he and the young patriarch of the Clarke family have a very good relationship. Even my mother and I cannot hold a candle to the other party! "I want to know who this person is to make my father so fanatical about him!” At this point, Jenny got a little agitated and seemed to have a lot of opinions about this young patriarch. Philip sm
Jenny’s phone rang at this time. She answered the phone, and her expression quickly became upset. Jenny hurriedly ended the call, rushed into the room, and took out some change from the box. “Philip, I'm sorry, I can't stay with you anymore. Something happened to my mom. The doctor asked me to go over and see her for the last time,” Jenny choked. She did not expect to receive bad news from the hospital at this time. “I'll take you there.” Philip got up and drove Jenny to the hospital. Jenny clutched the bag of change and counted it carefully along the way. Out of the corner of his eye, Philip could tell the total was about 1,000 dollars. Although Philip had been away from this place for three years, he knew that this amount could not bring the patient back from the brink of death. The two soon arrived at the hospital. Jenny rushed to the operating room just in time to see the doctor open the door. “Doctor, I’m the patient's daughter. How's my mom?” Jenny asked ner
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
