“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
“Young Master Hane, you must think it over carefully. Melody Zander is Theo Zander’s daughter, after all. If we do this, we’re going up against Theo!” Another rich second-generation reminded Kenneth.“What are you afraid of? I’m the young master of the Hane family! Theo’s nothing but a piece of sh*t!” Kenneth said angrily.Back to the private room.Obviously, Philip had become the center of attraction.At this moment, all the other rich second-generation in the private room dared not look him in the eye. That man was a lunatic!Marilyn Chester’s face was pale, and she could not speak for a long time.Initially, she wanted to use her birthday as an excuse to invite some good friends she had made in the past to celebrate. She was using this to create an opportunity for Melody and Kenneth.That was because she knew Kenneth would not be attracted to ordinary women, and only someone like Melody would capture his interest.If only she could have settled this matter for Kenneth proper
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
