Houston was shocked. He looked into Philip’s eyes and started to feel guilty.What was wrong with this guy?He did not appear to be a useless bum who depended on his woman...“What are you doing? What do you mean who sent me? I’m the vice-chairman here! Who are you and how dare you talk to me this way?”Houston’s face fell. He stared at Philip arrogantly and said.Philip did not back away. He said calmly, “Then let me give you a piece of advice, Mr. Michaels. Don’t cross my wife, and most importantly, don’t cross me.”Philip was the heir of an influential family. He knew how to read people.There was something fishy about Houston Michaels.Hehe!Houston chuckled coldly. How dare a spineless coward threaten him.What a joke!He was from the Michaels family. He was someone who had the support of the Wallises from Golden City. How dare an idiot like him have the audacity to speak to him like this. He was digging his own grave!“Madam Johnston, is this your wonderful husband? H
“Where are we going?”After they got into the car, Philip asked without thinking the matter through.Her wife’s body was perfect!Inside the car, Wynn took off her coat. She was wearing a white blouse that made her look sexy and elegant.“Kempinski.”Wynn replied. She started reapplying her makeup. After all, she was representing Beacon Pharmaceutical, so her appearance later was very important. Plus, it was an important project for the company. It was about the sales of the newly-developed medicine that could combat cancer.If this medicine entered the market, Beacon would be the first one to develop this in the pharmaceutical industry.“Hey, do you think I look okay?”Wynn looked at the mirror and asked Philip.Philip turned his head to look at her. He grinned and said, “Of course. My wife’s the most beautiful woman on earth.”Wynn rolled her eyes at him but was secretly delighted. She said, “You have such a sweet mouth.”Suddenly, she remembered something. She said, “Righ
Philip said coldly, “Mesmerized my *ss! She’s my wife!”Initially, Noah was not bothered by Philip at all. After Philip said this though, Noah turned around and stared at Philip with an icy glare.He was already agitated, but when he heard what Philip said, he immediately sized him up and chuckled.“So you’re Madam Johnston’s useless husband? Hm, I heard about you when I came to Riverdale. You’re just another worthless piece of trash who depends on women.”Noah’s face was filled with sarcasm.How would a man like that suit a goddess like Wynn?Philip shrugged and looked indifferent. He said, “I’m sorry, I’m sick, so the doctor told me I can only depend on women for the rest of my life. Are you jealous?”Philip did not hide. He went head-on with Noah.He could tell that Mr. Anderson had some ulterior motives.“You!”Noah was livid. His men were all glaring at Philip aggressively. As long as Noah gave them an order, they would immediately pounce on him and rip his mouth from hi
Wynn was panic-stricken, but she could not stop him. She could only hint at Philip with her eyes.Noah lifted his glass and drank with Philip once more.Philip downed the contents in his glass.“Haha! Nice tolerance! I’m taking you as my friend today!”Noah was smiling on the outside as he filled Philip’s glass again.Philip looked at the full glass of baijiu in front of him. There was a slight smile on his lips.Drinking?Sorry, he had drunk quite a lot back in the days.This was nothing to him.“Here, Brother. This is a toast from me to you!”Noah lifted his glass and downed the baijiu after lifting his head.He was experienced in the business industry and had been to numerous dinners before. He had already trained himself to be extremely tolerant, so he would be fine even if he downed three bottles of Wuliangye.Plus, he had already stationed his people around Kempinski, so he would not need to worry that Wynn would escape from this place.“Good! Let me toast to you as
Philip was the one who bought it?Impossible!“Wynnie, what nonsense are you spewing? Don’t try to protect Philip. I’ve heard all about it. This villa is under your name.”Martha smiled embarrassingly, but she was slightly panic-stricken.Wynn did not look like she was lying.Was it true?However, this mansion was worth 200 million! If it was not bought with the money from Wynn’s company…. Impossible! How could Philip, the useless bum, have so much money?“Mom, do you think your daughter has that much money to buy this villa?”Wynn’s face was cold as she asked.“D-Didn’t Clarke Group from Capital City invest a billion bucks into your company? Didn’t you use that money to buy it?”Martha said while gritting her teeth and shaking her head.Wynn looked at Martha and said helplessly, “Mom, do you know that embezzling is a crime? Do you think I’m someone who’ll use my company’s money for my selfish needs?“Plus, the funding from Clarke Group of Capital City is not here yet.”Af
Martha sat on the head of the bed and watched as Philip drank the soup. Then, she smiled and said, “Oh, we’re family. You’re my son-in-law. Who should I be good to if not you?”If anyone else heard what she said, they would have thought that they were extremely close.However, when Philip heard it, it felt ear-piercing and sarcastic.Like the quote said, ‘Beware of suspicious folk bearing gifts, they are sure to be ill-intentioned’. Was this not why Martha was fawning all over him this morning?“Mom, do you need anything?” Philip asked.When Martha heard that, she immediately played dumb and said, “No, it’s nothing. What can I need? Oh, get up soon, I bought breakfast for you. Come down and eat.”After she said that, she turned around and left.Philip looked at Martha’s back and shook his head helplessly. Then, he scoffed.Martha’s every thought was written on her face.After he went downstairs and entered the dining room, Philip started to drink the milk and eat the bun that
Philip looked at the tattooed man who was charging toward him. He shook his head helplessly. He swung his arm and muttered, “You’re the one who’s forcing me. Don’t blame me.”Slap!A loud noise!Philip’s hand made contact with the tattooed man’s face. The man spun 360-degrees after being slapped by Philip.“You… How dare you hit me!”The tattooed man finally stopped spinning. He pointed at Philip and growled while his head was still spinning.“Why should I be scared? Come at me.”Philip grinned and slapped him again!The tattooed man could not see how Philip slapped him. He felt like he was being slapped by an iron board. His body started to spin uncontrollably.Philip was not done yet. He started using both his left and right hands. The entire dimly lit alleyway was filled with slapping noises!Philip only stopped when he got tired.The tattooed man’s face was as swollen as a pig’s head now. His mouth was filled with blood. Then, he shook his head and collapsed onto the g
He grabbed the ring over his head that was meant to support passengers and lifted his leg to kick Philip’s waist.If his kick landed, Philip would either be half-dead or half-crippled!Philip did not have time to hesitate. Chico’s heavy foot was already coming at him.He snorted. He did not move his body, but instead, he lifted his right leg and kicked the joint of Chico’s other leg.Crack!The loud sound was caused by Chico’s bone breaking.Then, everyone on the bus heard Chico’s screams of pain. He sat on the ground while his legs split open. Huge droplets of sweat started to roll down from his chubby cheeks.“Ah! My leg! My groin!”Chico was trembling with pain. While he clutched the knee on his left leg, his other hand grabbed his right leg.He felt like he had been split open. The pain was burning!A few of Chico’s bald men were speechless after they saw what happened. They were so shocked that they all gasped at the same time.After a while, they finally came back to t
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
