“Umm, I’m not free tonight. Can we do it another day?”Philip could not help it either. When he said this, he felt countless daggers staring into his back.Nina’s expression changed slightly, but she controlled her somewhat disappointed emotions very well and replied, “In that case, let’s do it another day then.”After saying this, Nina trotted away from the marketing department. She had no idea how she managed to escape from such immense pressure. She just felt extremely fatigued.This was the first time she had invited a guy out for dinner and it was in front of so many people too.However, she had been rejected.“Is it because I’m ugly?”Nina hid in the bathroom, patted her delicate face, and forced out a smile to calm herself down.However, the smile on the corners of her mouth carried a trace of frigidity and the chill of conspiracy.At this moment, the entire marketing department had already gone crazy!All the male employees surrounded Philip and frantically chastised
“Perry! Don’t be rude!”At this moment, a distinguished old man with a slightly tired look got down from a Rolls-Royce not too far away. He was followed by a large group of attractively dressed men and women.“Grandpa, just look at this country bumpkin! Isn’t he just blocking your way by standing here?”The arrogant man immediately became respectful, supporting the old man while glaring at Philip.Philip was peeved. Who did he provoke by standing there?Did your family build the damn road?“Nonsense! How did I teach you? When you’re outside, you must convince people with reason and never judge people by appearance! Apologize now!” the old man said sternly and knocked his walking cane on the ground.“Grandpa… I’m just…” The face of the arrogant man immediately turned awkward.“Go now!” The old man repeated sternly.That guy seemed to be afraid of his grandfather. After hesitating for a while, he twisted his head toward Philip with an expression of dissatisfaction and resentment
Cynthia rolled her eyes at Melody and admonished with a smile, “Okay, don’t talk nonsense.”Melody laughed evilly and said, “Our dear Cynthia Larson belongs to the Larson family of Fernvale. Impressive, right?”Larson family of Fernvale?!Suddenly!Philip’s pupils constricted as he stared at Cynthia with a death stare.His mother’s family!The Larson family!Melody saw that Philip was dumbfounded, so she pushed him amusedly and said, “Don’t be so exaggerated. Everyone knows the Larson family of Fernvale. Don’t act as if you’re hearing it for the first time.”Cynthia also frowned and looked at Philip in bewilderment. This man was acting strange. Why did she feel that the look in his eyes was a little odd?Philip’s heart was shaken. It took him a long while before he recovered. His eyes were already red.He did not expect to meet people from his mother’s side of the family. Perhaps Cynthia might even be related to him by blood.Philip had attempted to contact the Larson family
Philip was unconcerned about those ridiculous words. His eyes were now entirely focused on Cynthia Larson.He wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Cynthia.Melody was a little unhappy and was just about to stand up to say a few words when she was stopped by Philip.Young ladies were indeed hot-tempered.At this moment, several flattering voices sounded.“Melody, I’m Peyton Hill. I’ve heard Marilyn talk about you before, but I didn’t expect you to be so beautiful in person.”“Melody, I’m Cedric Shore. My family runs a medicine shop. I hope that Melody can support us in the future.”“I’m Billy Dillon, your junior at school. I’ve seen your pictures before!”Everyone rushed to introduce themselves, most of them male and all of them quite outstanding in appearance. It was a pity that the reason behind their actions was quite obvious to outsiders.This was the daughter of Theo Zander, the underground king of Riverdale. Forging a good relationship with her would be greatly benefi
Kenneth almost could not control his expression. He laughed drily before saying, “Haha… Miss Zander has an arrogant personality.”When he said this, Kenneth’s expression turned visibly grim. A glint of cold light flashed across his eyes. He sat down quietly, glanced at Philip, and said, “Miss Zander, what does your boyfriend do?”Oh, was he trying to transfer the anger to him?Philip sneered in his heart.They were a group of typical rich second-generation, so the so-called little devious plots were nothing but monkey tricks in front of him.“I’m a food delivery guy,” Philip said nonchalantly.“Wow, he delivers food! What an outstanding talent! I’ve heard of your big name!”Kenneth suddenly praised him with a look of admiration. People who were not in the know would not be able to tell the naked sarcasm in his words.“Haha, Young Master Hane, your words are very interesting indeed. The person who can make an impression on you must be an incredible person…”Another man from the
Compare wealth?The f*ck!Everyone was stunned. Had this kid been struck dumb?He dared to speak to Young Master Hane in such a manner?Did he know what his family did?Did he know how much his personal assets were?He was just seeking death!Kenneth’s expression turned grim instantly. This was the first time somebody actually mentioned the word ‘money’ in front of him.“Brat! Do you want to die! You dare to talk this way. Is there anything on your body that can compare with Young Master Hane? You don’t even have the qualifications to be Young Master Hane’s watchdog! How dare you brag about money!”Peyton stood up first. He slammed the table and shouted!There were some words that Kenneth could not say, so he would do it on his behalf.Philip sneered and responded, “Oh, no wonder I kept hearing dogs barking. So you’re Young Master Hane’s watchdog.”“You… You’re going to die!”Peyton’s face flushed red. He never expected this country bumpkin to insult him like this!He gla
Melody was worried that Philip would act irrationally. She was present when he taught Simon and his gang a lesson back then. When this guy became aggressive, he did not care about the consequences!Philip smiled, patted Melody’s shoulder, and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, I know my limits.”Arrogant! Too brazen!Kenneth was furious. He glared at Philip who was approaching him and said with a menacing grin, “Why, it seems that you’re unwilling to concede! Are you going to fight me?”He must pay a price for his arrogance!Kenneth was fully aware of his own strength. For an ordinary person like Philip, he could take on ten of him without a problem!Philip was just a worthless wretch who overestimated his own abilities!He could not help clenching his fists until his knuckles cracked!Whoosh!The sound of a strike!“You’re courting death!”Kenneth furiously slugged a punch into Philip’s face and a glint flashed in his eyes!The force behind this punch was immense. The form
“What are you doing!”Kenneth Hane hugged his broken arm, and his eyebrows furrowed into a line.“Don’t hit people in their faces and don’t laugh at other people’s poverty. What I hate most is being threatened and my brothers being threatened.”Philip sneered with ice in his eyes, making Kenneth tremble as he watched.“You… I dare you to touch me again!” Kenneth shouted, trying to embolden himself.The look in that guy’s eyes was too terrifying. When their gazes collided for a moment just now, Kenneth was already drenched in a cold sweat!“A load of nonsense!” Philip snorted frostily and raised his hand for a loud smack!The scene fell into silence! Deathly silence!He really dared to hit him!Crazy! Philip must be mad!This was everyone’s thoughts!Kenneth was stunned for a moment before he roared hysterically, “You… He…”Smack!Another slap from Philip—clean and decisive, without any hesitation!Everyone fainted!The expression on Marilyn’s face changed drastically. He
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
