Nat’s family was a new rising star. They obtained a technique by chance and became a practitioner family. Nat became friends with the manager of the Nonagon Hotel during a party and finally persuaded the latter to give him a card. Now that he was about to receive the card, it was given to someone else instead! Clarence was extremely flustered. He thought that he could use this card to please the Stein family, but this action caused more trouble instead. If Nat fought head-on with Philip, the auction would be a wreck. However, Clarence could not stop Nat no matter what he did. The auction had not officially started yet. Only Philip and Preston sat in the VIP area. Nat naturally targeted them. “Did one of you take my card?” Nat asked rudely. Before this, he had no right to challenge these young masters, but he was a practitioner now. His family had been classified as a practitioner family. They were an existence that no ordinary people would dare to mess with! With
When the situation reached a deadlock, a man in a suit and leather shoes walked in from the door. He looked at Philip thoughtfully with a hint of contempt in his eyes. Obviously, he did not take this young man seriously. He was Rocco, the manager of the Nonagon Hotel and also the person in charge. His family owned many businesses, and this hotel was one of the flagships. Hence, Rocco had developed a sense of superiority and paid no heed to an unknown person like Philip. Besides, Nat was his friend, and messing with his friend was an unforgivable act. “Who are you?” Rocco said unhappily, upset that an ordinary person would dare to steal Nat’s black card! “This card is not something ordinary people can hold! You must be so blindly confident that you've forgotten your position!” Rocco shouted at Philip angrily. Preston was furious at his disparaging attitude. This guy was too arrogant for words. The Stein family chose to remain hidden from the public, so they always
Preston was surprised by Philip’s words. He knew that Philip was an easygoing person, always striving for harmony no matter what happened. Unexpectedly, Philip took the initiative to pick a fight! Although the other party made the first move, Preston wanted to see Philip’s counter-attack. “That’s right, let’s make them beg on their knees!” Preston applauded, admiring his teacher from the bottom of his heart. Philip smiled helplessly. This young student of his was really unafraid of causing trouble. However, Philip admired his passion. Everyone was stunned by Philip’s words. Even Sandra was dumbfounded. Philip was so bold to ask Nat to kneel to him! This man was so sassy, and Sandra clenched her fists in excitement. Nonetheless, he should not have threatened Nat Barlow! Nat and Rocco were friends and stood on the same side. They would not let Philip bully them. Sandra could already imagine Philip’s miserable outcome after they dealt with him. Rocco looked a
Philip spoke nonchalantly, not taking the other party seriously at all. Rocco was unhappy that Nat mentioned him at this time. Whether Nat mentioned him or not, he would choose to help his friend. However, Nat’s action was a little off-putting. Nonetheless, their priority was to work together to deal with Philip. Nat pointed at Philip, using his body language to express his dissatisfaction with Philip. “Since you want it so much, I'll give it to you. Let’s see if you can catch it.” Philip smirked at Nat’s appearance. Nat thought that Philip had given up and smiled smugly. He knew that this guy would not last long. Philip sneered and tossed the black card out, but it rotated in the air and returned to his hand again. Everyone was puzzled by this scene. The next moment, they heard a scream, which sounded so blood-curdling that Rocco gasped. He looked over curiously and found that the scream came from Nat. At this moment, Nat still maintained his posture of pointin
This mysterious trading company had such a huge background that even Rocco's family was just running errands for the other party. If the other party was provoked, they could cancel this auction at any time and hold it in another hotel. Rocco did not want to miss such a good opportunity, so he had to deal with this matter neatly and not leave anything that could cause criticism. If the other party canceled this cooperation, he would be made a laughingstock in the industry and receive a reputation as an incompetent organizer. At that time, the successor candidates in the family would definitely call him out for it, and the family might even strip his position as the young patriarch in their anger! Rocco was very angry. No matter what, he would never allow such a thing to happen! “You have a few moves.” Rocco frowned as he summoned a team of security guards. “Take Nat to the hospital and save his fingers. Let him see me after his mood settles down.” Rocco was very unhapp
Rocco only knew of two powerful reclusive families in Rhineville but knew nothing else about them. They remained hidden anyway, so there was no need to know about them. Therefore, Rocco had no idea who was in those reclusive families, let alone that the tall and handsome young man standing in front of him was the young patriarch of one of those families. After all, in his opinion, since they claimed to be reclusive, they would never come out. They would be living in the mountains and forests. They would not own any property in the secular world! Indeed, that was the case in the past, but times had changed. Since energy was revived, it was useless to remain in the mountains and forests any longer. They had to move around and look for opportunities to strengthen themselves by leaps and bounds. After energy was revived, opportunities could be found everywhere—maybe in the mountains, the rivers, or even on the streets. The fated ones could find them. Once opportunity kn
Philip knew that once the auction was over, Rocco would come after him again. However, Philip was unfazed and even looked forward to the excitement. “Since he wants to cause trouble, let him be. I want to see how strong he is.” Philip smiled nonchalantly. Indeed, Rocco’s level was very low. He was almost 30, but he was still in the early stage of the second zone. Even Preston had become stronger. Rocco was nothing but a loser. Preston would be furious if he knew Philip compared Rocco with him. Although Preston was not very strong, he was young and promising. With his potential, he was very suited for practice. Sandra chattered incessantly, trying to get into Philip’s good books. Philip glared at her impatiently but said nothing. In fact, things did not have to turn out this way. Sandra meddled and spoke on his behalf. It was her arrogance that intensified the conflict. Philip usually kept a low profile. If Nat really wanted the card, Philip would simply give it
People in the trading industry were very particular about money. If they found out that Rocco turned away a potential customer for his so-called dignity, they would definitely rip Rocco into pieces. Thus, to be on the safe side, Rocco calmly explained everything that happened today to everyone and put all the blame on Philip. Anyway, no one knew Philip, so Rocco could use this opportunity to build his good image. Very soon, Philip’s reputation became very bad, and some people came all the way here just to look at Philip with disdain. Sandra followed eagerly, waiting for Philip to invite her to sit down. However, Philip ignored her and made himself some tea. He would not touch anything here. If he wanted to drink tea, he had to make it himself. “Aren't you going to ask me to sit down?” Sandra felt a little worried when Philip ignored her and started making tea instead. The auction would be starting soon. She would be asked to leave if she did not find a seat by then.
