Leon lifted his head to look at Philip with a bit of anger and apprehension. “Why wouldn’t we dare to? Since you’ve bought our company, this money belongs to us!” The boy was reluctant to give in after all. Philip smirked. Lewis turned around and gave his son another slap. “Shut up!” Leon was stunned. In all of his life, today was the first time his father had slapped him so many times. He was just about to retort, but Lewis bowed and said humbly, “If Young Master Clarke wants my company, then it will be a gift to Young Master Clarke. Of course, I won’t take the money.” Lewis was not an idiot. He knew that only this way, he and his son would be able to survive. Philip nodded and glanced at George. The latter had the armored cars driven majestically away from the door. Yes, just like that, in front of Leon’s eyes, the cars drove away, one by one. That was three hundred million, all of Larson’s family’s assets! “Dad, what are you doing? That’s the Larson family’s money!” Leon
After Martha left, she went to the park to meet up with her friends. Upon meeting her friends, they started asking about each other. When they came to the topic about their sons-in-law or daughters-in-law, everyone became enthusiastic because their sons-in-law were doing well, and their daughters-in-law were filial. Only Martha kept quiet while she smiled dryly. “Hey, Martha, how is your son-in-law, Philip, lately? I heard he’s making deliveries.” A flamboyantly dressed middle-aged woman suddenly ruthlessly exposed Martha. Because every time they met, they were sure to talk about Martha’s son-in-law. It had already become the norm. “Oh, Martha, why is your son-in-law so terrible? Why don’t you get your daughter to divorce him as soon as possible?” “That won’t do. If they divorced, it would be a second marriage if she remarries. No one would want her. She even has extra baggage, men nowadays don’t like single mothers.” “That’s true. Who would want to raise other people’s childre
Philip smiled sheepishly and asked, “Mom, what’s the urgency?” Martha glared at him. “Stay here to add to our numbers, pretend to protest. You don’t have to care about anything else.” Then, Martha and a few other middle-aged men and women went to join the protest, screaming their lungs out. It was a shocking sight. Philip got some info from the bystanders and understood a bit of the situation. This was a financial investment company, and this group of older people had purchased some investment plans here. They were supposed to get their returns today. However, the building was now empty, with only a few lower-level staff left and one manager. By the look of things, that was probably an illegal fund-raising scheme! Here was where the problem got serious. Companies like this usually targeted well-off middle-aged people, and once something took a downturn, they would run away, and the money would be gone. It was no wonder Martha was so anxious. Philip felt a headache coming. He we
By then, Martha’s friends had noticed Philip. They snorted out and mocked, “Martha, is that your son-in-law? He looks really plain and so absentminded, like a blockhead. Your daughter is so pretty, she must have been blind to marry him!” “Yeah, such a useless man is a disgrace to us elders. Thankfully my son-in-law is not like him.” The group of elders started laughing in mockery. Martha’s cheeky smile earlier was now completely gone. She snorted. “That wretched piece of trash is not my son-in-law. In a few days, I’ll have my daughter divorce him!” Philip had heard the insults directed to him by the group. He could only shake his head and smiled coldly. He was already used to insults like this. They called him a wretched piece of trash, but what were they doing here? They had even called Aiden to come over and help. Now Philip really wanted to see just how Aiden can help with this situation. Just then, a white Maserati drove over on the street, looking very flashy. Martha s
Philip felt the hair on his skin stand under the scrutiny of the crowd. He then saw Aiden walking over to him with a smirk. “Philip, try repeating what you’ve said just now. I didn’t hear it clearly.” Aiden looked patronizing. This Philip really likes to speak up wherever he’s not needed. Doesn’t he know his place? To even dare to spout such nonsense. If I, Aiden Grant, can’t settle this, would a piece of trash like him be able to? Philip pouted. After some thought, he answered honestly, “I said that the matter today would not be as easy as it seems. There might be illegal fund-raising involved in this, so I don’t think a favor from someone would be able to solve it. Hence, I’d like to ask a friend for help. Is there a problem?” At this, Aiden immediately snorted. “Holy sh*t, you’re really something Philip. You even have friends now? Why? Feel like playing hero today? Sure, why don’t you handle this?” After Aiden spoke, the older folks around started bombarding insults. “Mart
He knew what Lamar’s company did. He had told him multiple times.However, this industry was like an endless pit. He was just going to fall deeper and deeper.Did Theo not contact some people to help him with the incident a few days ago?“How should we take care of the clients?” Theo asked.Lamar chuckled coldly. “It’s just a bunch of uncultured old men and women. If they don’t want to invest, do they think they can bring their money into the coffin with them?”Lamar said after seeing Theo’s face falling. “It’s fine, Theo. I know what I’m doing. They are all seniors with no backgrounds.”When he said that, Theo felt more relieved.When the two of them were about to drink, Theo’s phone rang.He looked at the caller ID. It was Mr. Clarke!In an instant, Theo picked up his phone respectfully and shushed Lamar. He said, “It’s Mr. Clarke.”Lamar’s eyes gave an ominous glint when he heard that.Theo had told him about Mr. Clarke before. He was an extraordinary person.He wanted t
Now, back to Philip.After he hung up the phone, he went back to where he was. In the end, the seniors around him started to mumble in disdain. They moved away from him as if he was the plague.“What’s going in? He’s an adult and he’s still embarrassing himself.”“Martha is so unlucky to have a son-in-law like him.”“Ew, let’s go. I smell a disgusting fox among us.”Philip backed away to one side after listening to the cruel accusations and jeers from everyone. He leaned against the wall and crossed his arms to watch what was going on.Aiden saw Philip’s ordeal and was feeling amazing. He flipped him off with glee. Under the heated gaze of the seniors, he straightened his suit and walked over to the manager and staff.“Hello, Sir. Can I help you?”The manager was a woman. Her face was pointy and she had a tiny waist. She was thin but still looked stunning. She was wearing a black business attire with a white patterned shirt that made her look skilled and experienced.“Are you
If he embarrassed himself in front of his future mother-in-law right now, it would mean that he would lose his chance with Wynn.When he thought of this, Aiden forced out a smile and said with a quiver in his voice, “Um, ladies and gentlemen, it’s done. Don’t worry. I called Mr. Collins and he’ll come here to handle this in a bit, so don’t worry. You can go back and wait for further news.”When everyone heard that, they cheered and clapped for Aiden.“Mr. Grant is such an extraordinary man. He managed to solve the problem right after standing up for us. If my daughter was not married, I’ll definitely ask her to marry Mr. Grant.”“Yeah! Mr. Grant is such an amazing young man. You can’t come across this kind of man easily now. Martha, you’ve got yourself a gem!”“Hehe, I remember someone talking big about how he can solve this just now. Now that Mr. Grant has solved this, where’s that person who was talking big?”“Don’t talk about that trash of a man anymore. He’s just playing to t
“You seem stronger than Killer Bee. You might've stood a chance of winning if you had gone against him,” Philip taunted. Philip raised his head and took the punch without breaking a sweat. “If you want to steal from me, I'm sorry to tell you that you found the wrong target. If you just want to make friends with me, I’m more than happy to accept.” Philip grabbed the guy’s fist and threw him out with disdain, not taking him seriously at all. The guy did not expect that he would be tossed aside like a piece of trash and started panicking. Before he passed out, he only remembered that Philip easily dealt with him without breaking a sweat. He did not know what happened later, but he knew that Philip was so strong that he could kill him in a split second. If he could turn back time, he would never go after Philip again. Other people were shocked to see Philip’s strength. “He tossed the guy out so easily. This is terrifying. How did he do it?” “That’s impossible. That guy is p
Philip walked on the road leisurely, feeling honored to have so many people stalking him. “I’m surprised that I could attract so many people.” Philip sighed in amazement as he walked. Soon, he came across several good large inns and made his choice after some selection. He was not short of money, so he did not waste time on this. “I’m going to fully reserve this inn for the time being. I don't want to see other people on my territory, so your job is to keep irrelevant people out.” Philip negotiated with the innkeeper and received the other party's consent. After all, Philip’s offer was too good to refuse. They quickly reached an agreement, and Philip obtained the right to use the inn at a good price. At this time, a bunch of people surrounded Philip with disdain. “You’re quite bold to come out alone.” “It’s very interesting to see someone walking around with so many treasures on hand.” Everyone mocked with disdainful smiles on their faces. Philip shook his head helple
Very soon, someone sent Philip his rewards. The onlookers were surprised to see Philip receiving so many precious treasures. Some were happy while others were sad. Some envied Philip's treasures while others hankered after them. After all, not everyone could receive such rewards. Only practitioners who performed well had the opportunity to get these rewards that belonged to the advanced list. Although they could not do anything to Philip for the time being, Philip would leave Deadly Arena eventually. As long as they did not take action in Deadly Arena, no one would care what happened to Philip after that. “You can stay if you want to keep fighting. I’ll take a look around and find a place for us to stay,” Philip said to his people. These little guys had not shown off their strength yet, so they were sure to stay. Sure enough, everyone nodded. It was time for them to take the spotlight. Aslan and the others chose to stay. No one would miss the opportunity to show off. Philip
Some people saw Philip's actions before he confounded everyone, so they were terrified. “What's going on? Has that guy gone crazy? I just saw him standing there motionless, waiting for Killer Bee to attack him.” “I would've moved ages ago. Killer Bee is very powerful. He was clearly lurking around, waiting for the chance to attack Philip, but Philip didn’t even try to dodge. Is he really that confident in his strength?” “It’s over. I bet tens of thousands of energy stones on Philip. Everything will go down the drain if he loses the match.” Everyone sighed, hoping Philip would not let them down. However, more people thought that Philip would definitely die this time. At his level, it was simply impossible for him to face Killer Bee's strongest sneak attack. The old men looked at Philip's action with excitement and anticipation, hoping that Philip would be killed immediately. “It’d be great if he died. We can recoup all our losses in one fell swoop.” “It’s good if we can
Killer Bee had never thought that Philip could compete with him. He scowled. “Since you want to die, I’ll grant your wish!” Killer Bee was furious to see Philip’s strength. In his opinion, Philip was nothing more than a rookie and had no right to enter the advanced list. Why was he so strong? He thought it was unfair and wanted to kill Philip. “You’ll die now!” Killer Bee was very unhappy. Philip was very arrogant and was just wasting his time. The sword in his hand turned into a spike and Killer Bee jumped into the sky. He sped up and vanished into thin air. Everyone was shocked. No one could see Killer Bee and wondered what was going on. Philip caught his trace and simply stood there, motionless. “Hehe, is this little trick all you have? You think too much.” Philip shook his head helplessly. This guy was really stupid. “You’re very bold to look down on me like this. Do you really think you’re so powerful and undefeatable?” Killer Bee roared in anger, his voice ech
Even people near the top of the list dared not mess with Killer Bee for no reason. The technique he practiced could kill with one move. He also had a method that could harm both himself and his opponent. Only someone like him would practice such a detrimental move. No one would fight to die, but Killer Bee simply wanted to kill. Such an opponent was very problematic, and Killer Bee was notorious for killing many people. Almost everyone believed that Philip would lose this match and might even lose his life. Philip overheard the conversations around him and was surprised to hear the other party’s identity. However, he had nothing to fear. Instead, he felt very excited and even looked forward to it. He was not only taking part in the match just to make a name for himself. He wanted to encounter various opponents and gauge their strength too. Coming to Deadly Arena meant that he was not afraid of risking his life, and he could learn many things he had never encountered before.
This person gave Philip a bad feeling. He was obviously no longer on the rookie list. Philip easily defeated the three rookies earlier, so the quality of his upcoming opponents would increase rapidly. Philip felt that the guy standing quietly in front of him could completely conceal his presence and mask his existence. Moreover, the other party looked ordinary. Even if Philip carefully observed his appearance, it was difficult to remember what he looked like. He also exuded an affectionate vibe as if he were a close friend, which was hard to describe. Something had to be wrong. Philip stood on guard. The friendlier the person, the more terrifying he was behind the scenes. “This guy is more than meets the eye. He must be very strong.” Philip sighed uneasily, wondering what was wrong with that guy. Someone like that had to be terrifying. Philip was not a careless guy. He would pay attention to this. “I’m surprised to see an opponent like you.” The young man was surpri
The old men were about to go crazy. They looked at Philip in disbelief and felt that Philip was not normal. Philip sighed inwardly. He thought highly of Dodo and wanted to recruit him. The people who bet their money on Philip were shocked. They were so lucky to have won the bet by fluke. Those who bet their money on Dodo were horrified. No one could believe that the undefeatable Dodo would lose so badly. The winners jumped with joy and excitement. They wished they could hug Philip and give him a big kiss. “This is wonderful. I won a lot of money this time. That guy is really amazing, much better than I thought.” “I recouped all my losses this time. I can’t believe it.” Everyone said cheerfully, paying no heed to the losers at all. “I knew we should believe in Philip. He’s stronger than I thought.” “I think he should be first on the rookie list. Although he has only fought three matches so far, the level of the fights is simply out of this world. He defeated his oppone
Dodo planned to unleash more dragons to surround Philip, but Philip froze the whole platform instead. He would have been seriously hurt if he had not backed away in time. “These dragons of yours are nothing but several worms to me. Since we have the chance to meet today, let me show you what a real ice dragon looks like.” After saying that, a huge dragon appeared between Philip and Dodo. The dragon summoned by Philip was better than Dodo’s dragon in terms of both appearance and size. Dodo saw this scene and quickly unleashed his dragon to meet Philip’s attack. The dragon under Philip’s command became more excited instead of fearful. It roared and swallowed Dodo’s dragon in one gulp, greatly improving its strength in the process. Dodo was dumbfounded by this scene. He never dreamed that Philip could summon a hundred-meter-long ice dragon at will, and the dragon was so powerful too. 'How is this possible? How could he summon such a giant dragon?' Dodo stared at Philip in disb
