Philip fell silent for a while. Then, he looked at Wynn and said, “You really want to know?”Wynn nodded and said, “Yeah.”Philip nodded. Then, he said in all seriousness, “Wynnie, I’m actually a nouveau riche.”Wynn listened to him while nodding. “Yeah, I know. Your family runs restaurants, and you bought the villa.”Philip frowned and explained. “No, maybe my nouveau riche is different from what you understand. I mean, I, Philip Clarke, am a nouveau riche. I’m loaded.”“How loaded?”Wynn ate her dessert and squinted. Her eyes were as beautiful as crescent moons. There was also a gentle smile on her lips.“Do you know Clarke Group?” Philip asked.Wynn nodded. She said, “Yeah, didn’t I go to their party last time? Too bad I didn’t get to meet Young Master Clarke.”Philip smiled and said, “Actually, Young Master Clarke is sitting in front of you.”“You?”Wynn was taken aback. She looked at Philip curiously. After a while, she reached out her fair hand and touched Philip’s for
Ethereal Jewels!When they walked in, they saw that there were quite a lot of people in the shop. There were more than ten salespeople in the shop. They were all wearing black uniforms.It was the biggest jewelry shop in Riverdale indeed. The shop was so lordly.“Sir, how can I help you?”A saleslady walked over to them. She had a standard smile on her face and did a 30-degree bow.“Oh, I want to look at necklaces,” Philip said.Wynn was holding on to his arm. Then, she spotted something and ran over. She looked at the shiny jewelry in the glass case and was happy.Philip looked around and saw that all the major brands were here. They had all kinds of items ranging from gold, silver, diamonds, and even jade.They were also not cheap. Each one was at least tens of thousands.The saleslady was not a normal person as well. Since she was working in this industry, she had already trained herself to have a pair of sharp eyes.This pair of lovers looked normal. The guy looked ordina
Some of the customers started discussing among themselves.“Isn’t that Young Master Berkshire from Ethereal Jewels? Why’s he here?”“Don’t you see that there’s beef between Young Master Berkshire and that man?”“What penniless fool? I don’t understand. Wasn’t that kid about to buy a necklace worth 290,000 bucks? How’s he a penniless fool?”The crowd was puzzled. Was this the world of the rich?This man was about to buy a necklace worth 290,000 bucks and he was still being called penniless…Tasha was taken aback. She looked at Philip. If Young Master Berkshire said he was a penniless fool, then he was indeed a penniless fool. How would he have the money to buy this latest pink diamond necklace that cost 290,000 bucks?While she thought about this, there was fury and disdain in Tasha’s eyes.Damn it!He was just another penniless poser who wanted to make his wife happy.After this, he would definitely say there was something wrong with the necklace or maybe he would make up an
“Um, I’m buying that necklace.”The middle-aged man smiled and said. He did not mind showing off his wealth.The woman next to him was excited. She was calling him ‘honey’ sweetly and they even started kissing in public.“Pretty lady, this is my card. Call me if you need anything.”The middle-aged man walked over to Wynn with a huge grin on his face and handed her a card. The woman who was feeling excited moments ago now stomped her foot angrily.Wynn did not take the card. She declined tactfully. “No thanks.”The middle-aged man was embarrassed. He smiled timidly and backed away. Then, he started arguing with his lover.Over here, Colton was feeling pleased. He loved forcing people to dead ends.Who let him have so much money?‘You embarrassed me in the restaurant. If I don’t f*ck you up today, my name’s not Colton Berkshire!’“You sound like you have a lot of money. Alright then, since you want to give your wife a present, you should give her the most expensive one.”Colto
Over here, Tasha put on her white gloves and brought out a delicate box under everyone’s watchful gazes. Then, she walked to the anteroom.She peered at Philip who was looking calm and hurled abuses at him in her heart. ‘I’ll see how he’s going to afford this later. What a dumb*ss!’This sapphire necklace cost eight million bucks!Everyone was waiting patiently. Their eyes were all glued on the box in Tasha’s hands.It was obvious that this necklace was expensive just from the box alone.Was the sapphire necklace inside?A few of them started to sigh internally. At the same time, they were also looking down on people like Philip.He was just a piece of trash who depended on his woman. Why was he trying to fight with the young master of a jewelry shop?“It’s here. It’s here.”Colton was excited. This was the best chance for him to be pretentious, so he could not let this chance go to waste. A fool was presenting himself to be his footstool. It was such a nice feeling.Tasha sm
More than ten customers shook their heads. What an idiot. It was an obvious trap.If he really bought it, Ethereal Jewels would suffer no loss. They would even praise Colton for being smart.If he did not buy it, Colton could humiliate this idiot.No one was trying to stop him. They were all watching what was going on.“Wrap it up. I’ll take it,” Philip said calmly.“Alright, Tasha, wrap it up for him. I want to see how he’s going to pay later. Will he sell his house or his kidney?”Colton guffawed. His tone was dripping with sarcasm.Tasha was on her phone and reporting everything back to the group chat. When she heard Young Master Berkshire calling her, she had to put down her phone. She asked, “Really, Young Master Berkshire?”Colton smiled and said, “Yeah. Maybe his wife can afford it.”When Tasha was wrapping the necklace, Titus was watching what was going on in the group chat. He was drenched in cold sweat as he muttered, “My gosh! We’re finished! How did I give birth to
Titus’ voice was rough and boorish. The customers and salespeople in the shop all shut up from fear.When they looked over at the door, they saw that it was Master Berkshire!However, Titus’ face looked pale. His face was covered in cold sweat as he glanced at Philip who had a cold expression on his face. Immediately, his heart sank.“Sir!”More than then salespeople addressed him respectfully and went back to their work stations.Master Berkshire was a well-known penny-pincher. He had a lot of tricks up his sleeves when it came to reducing his employee’s wages.If he caught them slacking off, the salespeople’s salary this month would be reduced by half.“Dad, why are you here?”Colton did not know what was going to happen. He walked over with a grin on his face.Slap!Titus slapped him on the face heavily. He did not hold back.Everyone was shocked. They did not even dare to breathe loudly.What was going on?Master Berkshire slapped his son the moment he came here. What
This scene shocked all of the customers and salespeople in the shop.Master Berkshire was an extreme penny-pincher, but he was going to the extreme just to apologize to this manTasha’s eyes were huge, and she could not breathe.Philip looked around the shop and noticed that everyone was lowering their heads. They did not dare to look him in the eyes.He looked at Colton on the floor who was dispirited and snorted. “I, Philip Clarke, will never owe anyone anything when I want to buy something. I told you I have money, why didn’t you believe me?”After he said that, he looked at Master Berkshire and smiled lightly, “Master Berkshire, I forgot to bring my card today. I’ll ask my people to send the money over tomorrow. I’ll take the necklace with me now.”“No need, no need, Mr. Clarke. I’m giving it to you as a gift.” Titus wiped away his sweat.“Are you looking down on me?” Philip asked coldly.Master Berkshire was taken aback. He shook his head furiously and said, “No, no, no. H
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
