"I thought you were looking for Clarke Group? Well then, I, your husband, am precisely your knight in shining armor. I'll help you deal with any troubles and problems you'll have."Philip smiled, reaching out to brush the tip of Wynn's delicate nose.Bursting into a puff of laughter, Wynn blinked as she spoke, "You're no longer as transparent as you were to me, Philip. Since when did you learn to do this? It's getting a little scary."Philip rubbed the back of his head. "I picked it up from someone back then at home. That's all, nothing much.""Is that so?"Wynn asked as her eyes shone, looking at Philip.Philip smiled shyly in response....At the same time, Mitch Potter and his gang of bodyguards arrived at the entrance of the Intercontinental Hotel. Drenched in blood, he was a flustering sight to see!Gravely injured was the master of the fraternity belonging to the top five underground forces of South River District. Even Theo Zander had to pay a degree of respect to the
Philip furrowed his eyebrows, displeasure brewing ice-cold in his chest. In front of him were 30 to 40 men with over ten multi-purpose vehicles stopped before the hotel's entrance.The Andersons of the South River District had gone too far.Philip was infuriated. One Beacon Pharmaceutical and one investment of a billion yuan, and now he had to deal with this insufferable aftermath.Philip knew that none of this would have occurred without the help of someone more powerful behind the scenes.30 to 40 men, each a thug with a bloodthirsty look in their eyes. They were either topless so that their tattoos were visible or clutching metal rods in their hands.It had been many years since the last local gang fight in Riverdale, let alone an intercity one.Especially fights where one of the parties all had 'fraternity' tattooed in red on their backs!"Holy sh*t! That's the South River District's fraternity! Why are they here in Riverdale?""Oh, God, what’s happening? Fraternity? The on
Mitch’s expression sunk instantly. A sinister glare was sent Noah’s way as he smiled. “Oh? Does Brother Noah not believe in my capabilities? I have so many members with me, how can I not get my hands on a worthless scum who feeds off his wife?”“No no, you’ve misunderstood me, Sir Mitch. I brought this man to deal with Philip Clarke myself. But now that I see Sir Mitch has already made a move, then there’s naturally no need to bring him out. I simply wish to introduce you to him, Sir Mitch. Perhaps he’ll learn a thing or two from you!”Noah explained, pointing at the passenger seat in his car.The back seat windows rolled down to reveal a man in a baseball cap. A large gash marked one half of his face, leaving him with an unsettling aura at night!The man’s side profile overwhelmed those who saw him while his gaze was fixed on Philip Clarke who was at the hotel’s entrance. Perhaps it was the pull of another strong bird with the same feathers!“Who’s that? He looks even more powe
Men were all bloodthirsty beings, especially at the prompt of spilling fresh blood. A moment of silence engulfed the thugs, but it was soon broken by their howls. Who were they to feel fear? Especially when there were 30 to 40 of them! Surely they would be able to kill him, right?They ran forward anyway, effectively disregarding the words Philip had said. Philip scoffed and lifted his hand to slash downward, landing a gash on two thugs who were dashing in front! Wynn stood behind the revolving door as she watched the man with a piandao in one hand. His usually bright eyes were cloudy and hooded with anger! Unable to calm herself, her chest swarmed with an indescribable feeling. Her husband was this impressive...For a moment, Wynn realized she could no longer see through Philip Clarke, a rich man who was also exceptional at fighting! She would never forget this scene for the rest of her life. Philip dashed out with a piandao in his hand, leaving a bloodied but clear p
Under Philip’s imposing manner, everyone in the fraternity backed away slowly.Even though they were greater in numbers, they were no match in the face of Philip’s imposing manner.“Get lost! If not, I’ll kill all of you!”Philip roared once again. The air around him was extremely domineering.After a few seconds, no one dared to leave.“Since none of you are leaving, I’ll send all of you away myself!”The corner of Philip’s lips were upturned. He had a devilish smirk on his face. Then, the knife in his hand seemingly turned into a bright laser as it shot out. It stabbed right into the stomach of one of the muscular men. Then, blood started spraying out from his body.The entire knife was inside the man’s stomach, and blood was dripping from the tip of the knife that penetrated through the man’s body. It looked horrifying.The man did not realize what had happened. While he was hesitating, Philip had already stabbed into his stomach.He lowered his head and clutched his bloody
Wynn was wearing a pair of high heels. When she walked to Philip, her heels clicked on the ground like a piano recital. She looked panic-stricken.She was a woman, after all. The smell of blood was in the air, and there were broken arms scattered all over the floor. Each severed limb was covered in blood. She wanted to vomit, but she held it in.30 to 40 men were trying to chop someone up in broad daylight. The scene looked like a warzone, and the ground was painted with blood.If Philip were not here, she could not imagine what would have happened instead.Philip looked at Wynn who was standing next to him. There was a gentle smile on his face.Just like that, under everyone’s watchful gaze, Philip reached out an arm and grabbed Wynn’s tiny waist.Wynn shivered. She looked at Philip in disbelief.Was Philip still her spineless husband?When did he have these skills? He looked like an assassin in the movies.Philip chuckled and grabbed Wynn’s hand. He asked, “Are you ready?”
“Philip, you can’t slander me. I’m just passing by.”Noah laughed shamelessly. His eyes were glued on Wynn the entire time.He did all of this tonight to get this woman and Beacon Pharmaceutical!As such, he spent a lot of money to hire the Muay Thai champion, Thep. He would not allow any hiccups to happen during this urgent moment.Even if Philip was the variable, he would just get rid of this variable!“Hehe, passing by? How shameless!”Philip said nonchalantly.“Say that again!”Noah was furious!When Wynn saw Noah, she understood what was going on. She looked at him coldly with anger in her eyes.“Noah, did you do this?”Wynn asked angrily, “Why did you do this?”“It’s all for you and Beacon!”Noah decided to shed all pretense of cordiality. He was exposing the ugly side of him under his expensive suit. “Beacon is just a tiny company in Riverdale. How dare you go against the Andersons’ wishes? 60 percent? Now, I want all of Beacon’s profits, and of course, you!”In or
In a matter of life or death!Bang!After a loud sound, everyone saw something flying across the air. Then, it crashed onto the black commercial car. Instantly, there was a dent in the car, and the alarm started to blare loudly.That body rolled onto the ground with a loud thud. After that, he raised his head slowly and said, “M-Master…” Then, he fell unconscious.When everyone came back to their senses, they saw that Philip was still sitting there. Thep, who was attacking him just now, was now unconscious next to the commercial car!How shocking!It happened too fast!They took in deep breaths and could not believe what had happened.A figure appeared in front of Philip. He looked travel-worn, and his face was cold. The air of death was coursing throughout his body.Noah’s highly-respected Muay Thai champion, Thep, did not even exchange blows with the man in front of him!Philip lowered his head slightly and said, “I would’ve died right here if you were one second later.”R
Everyone was dumbfounded. No one thought that Ronan would take action without paying any heed to them. Cameron panicked and ordered his men to stop Ronan, “Guards, take action! You have to stop Ronan!” His face turned pale, and he wished that the guards could kill Ronan. However, he suddenly remembered the deal between the businessman and himself. “Wait, don’t kill him. I want him alive. I need him for something important!” Cameron shouted nervously as if he was sure that his guards would defeat Ronan. Other than the guards, other family members also stepped forward. They wanted to show off their strength. Seeing this, Philip waved to Ronan. He would take action if required. Ronan waved his hand indifferently in response. He did not need Philip’s help for now. He was strong enough to take care of it. At this time, Rabbit appeared drowsily. Rabbit led a carefree life, and Philip always let him be, so he was an idle rabbit. After Cameron and the others saw Rabbit, their e
Ronan became more confident after the chat with Philip. If anyone dared to mess with him, he would not hesitate to teach them a good lesson. Cameron looked around but did not see Rabbit. He was worried but went straight to the point. “My child, after all these years, have you finally decided to return to the family?” Cameron smiled as he attempted the emotional approach as if Ronan had lived outside over the years because of his own decision. Hearing that, Ronan coughed and nearly threw up. Cameron was really good at blaming him. “What do you mean? Did I ask you to kick me out of the house?” Ronan's eyes flashed with anger. As a weak and powerless child back then, he was kicked out of the house right after his mother’s death. That feeling was really humiliating. All his grievances over the years exploded at this point. He could not tolerate these hypocritical people anymore. Cameron noticed Ronan’s reaction and knew that it was bad. This matter was out of his control. Ronan
“Since you've accepted my things, you should…” Cameron rubbed his hands excitedly, looking at Rabbit smugly and expectantly. His men looked at Rabbit in delight. It would be great if they could get storage space. Rabbit shook his head in disdain. “What are you thinking? Do you think you’re worthy of me? You don’t even have a measly storage space. Who are you to bargain with me?” Rabbit kicked the nearest person away. “Don’t bother me again or that’ll be your outcome!” He hopped back into the house. He was not afraid that they would mess with him. Cameron was shocked that Rabbit would go back on his word after taking their things. He was furious. Those were the treasures of the family. It would be a disaster if they lost them. However, it was clearly not the right time to dwell on it. Cameron decided to talk to Rabbit again tomorrow. He had to talk to Ronan anyway. It would be best if he could fool them. “Let’s get some rest for the night and talk about it tomorrow morning
Cameron persuaded Rabbit excitedly. In his opinion, he was halfway to success. Rabbit nodded. “Give me what you have for now. At least show me your sincerity. You should know that the guy inside offered me a high price!” Rabbit fooled Cameron. He wanted to know what Cameron could come up with. Just crystals alone would be a letdown. Hearing that, Cameron waved to his men, signaling them to take out all the good things from the warehouse, at least to fool Rabbit for the time being. His men reluctantly went to the warehouse and took out all the treasures they had collected. Anyway, it was just for show and would not really be given to the rabbit, so they did not object. It would be a great deal if these treasures could attract a guardian beast. Rabbit nodded with satisfaction at these things. He waved his hand, and everything vanished from those people’s hands. Everyone was shocked and wondered what was going on. There was no such thing as storage space in this world. They ha
It felt good to have a capable henchman around. Philip could not be bothered to waste his precious time on these losers. Cameron and his men reached the door when a rabbit fell from the sky. The old woman and the others knew the rabbit’s habits and warned everyone to watch out. However, the elites were caught off guard and looked around blankly, wondering what was going on. The next moment, the loudmouthed man was knocked to the ground. Rabbit landed on the guy and started punching and kicking, certain that the man would suffer the utmost pain from this beating. Cameron and the others were dumbfounded by this scene. They had heard of powerful spirit pets but had never seen a rabbit as a spirit pet. The rabbit was good at fighting, so it should not be an ordinary creature. “Go away and stop bothering us. I’ll kill you if I don’t get a good night’s sleep! Let me show you what I can do!” Rabbit swung his fists seemingly at random, but every punch landed. Cameron stood far aw
At this time, Cameron and his men returned in the middle of the night. He saw the Claude family members crying as soon as he returned. They were bruised and battered from a beating, looking utterly miserable. Cameron was furious that someone would dare to bully his family members while he was away. “What's going on? Why are you in this state? Did someone cause trouble while I was away?” Cameron was angry and in disbelief, feeling that something was strange. Everyone nodded nervously. “Ronan is here!” The old woman who suffered the worst beating was very upset and glared viciously in Ronan’s direction. “Cameron, although you left me in charge while you were away, I can’t do it anymore. Ronan kept messing with us and even brought some people to beat us up!” The old woman made up stories and described Ronan as an unforgivable evildoer. Cameron scowled, but he could not believe it. “What did you say? Ronan actually hit someone?” He was unwilling to believe it. Although Ronan
Philip took out some fine wine, which was worthless to him but priceless to Ronan. Ronan laughed at Philip’s nonchalance and patted his shoulder. The two of them sat down and started drinking. Rabbit joined in the fun and swallowed the wine in big gulps. Although the alcohol content was a bit high for Rabbit, he enjoyed it happily. They quickly felt slightly tipsy. Although they were practitioners, they did not use any techniques to sober up. It was okay to be a little intoxicated as long as it did not affect them too much. It was rare to find a friend who they could click so well with, so it was a blessing to get drunk together. As they drank happily, the aroma of the wine wafted out. Everyone smelled the fragrance and looked for the source of the scent. They quickly found Ronan's residence and scowled. That smell proved that he had to be drinking good wine in there. “How is he worthy of such fine wine?” “Just a whiff of that wine clears my head, so it has to be good s
Although victory was not confirmed, they had to take part. Since the other party said so, they had no choice but to win. At the thought of the other major families, Cameron scowled as he felt the pressure. “I heard that you have a non-human descendant in your family,” the other party said with a smile, but it was uncertain if his intention was to mock Cameron or to find out some information. The Claude family scowled as they instantly figured out who the other party was talking about—Ronan. This person had disgraced the whole family. “We do have someone like that in our family. Back then, one of our youths was restless and impulsive…” Cameron wanted to explain, but the other party interrupted him. The mysterious man smiled with satisfaction at Cameron’s admittance. “If that’s the case, it’s great. Let this person take part in the competition. I’m interested in his strength and want to try it out in person. “Other than your victory, this person has to take part in the comp
By treating Ronan badly, the people would receive some rewards from the higher-ups. After a while, everyone got used to it. Even the wine sold to Ronan was cheap wine that no one wanted. “There’ll be a place for me in the world somehow!” Philip shook his head. These people’s attitude was strange, indeed, but he did not think that they could not find a roof over their heads. Since the Claude family was so arrogant, they could take over their place. Thinking of this, Philip took them back to the Claude family's manor and knocked on the door with a smile on his face. The guards were horrified to see Philip and Ronan again. They did not forget how badly they were beaten earlier. Thus, no one dared to stop them from marching in for fear that they would be beaten again. They could not afford the consequences. The Claude family quickly learned about their appearance. They scowled, their faces turning ashen. “Why are you here again?” “We already told you that they won't be ba
