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
Lamar ran over hurriedly to see Mr. Clarke.However, the seniors blocked him and asked all at once.“Mr. Collins, can we get the rebate from the money we invested today?”“Can you return our money? I don’t want to invest anymore.”“Our houses too. Please give it back to us. We don’t want to put up collateral anymore. You’re a scammer!”In an instant, emotions were heightened. The seniors were all making threats at Lamar while surrounding him like they were layers and layers of clothes on his body.Lamar was panicking. He waved his hands and cleared his throat before saying, “Everybody, please calm down. I’m here to return the money and houses to you all. Please go and register over there. I’ll ask my staff to go through the procedure with you all. Please don’t panic, okay? I have to meet someone important right now.”After he said that, Lamar called over his staff who then brought the seniors away.When the seniors heard that their money and houses would be returned, they were
When he thought about that, Lamar laughed and said, “Oh, Mr. Grant. I’m sorry I called you the wrong name. Please forgive me.”When Aiden heard that, his nervousness vanished.When Lamar had called him Mr. Clarke earlier, he was extremely nervous.He knew better than anyone else that he had not done anything.Did his father do something?Possibly. After all, he was his father. There was no reason for him to not help him, right?When Aiden heard Lamar saying that he called the wrong name, he let out a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, “Mr. Collins, you’re so hilarious. I thought that trash over there called you.”Philip was just standing there on one side of the room. He frowned when Aiden suddenly mentioned him.On the other hand, Lamar continued to say in a flattering manner, “Mr. Grant, you must be joking. How would I know a poor fella like him?”The man before him, on the other hand, was a very important person. He must get on his good side.He just needed to return the
What was going on?Why were they fighting?The seniors were so shocked that they were speechless. Aiden himself was stunned for a very long time. He did not know what was going on.“F*ck! Lamar Collins! Are you f*cking insane? Why the f*ck are you hitting me?”Aiden was furious. His face had turned red. This was so embarrassing.In the first second, he had been trying to flatter him. Now, Lamar was slapping him across the face.When Martha saw that Aiden was slapped, she was enraged. She ran over and pushed Lamar. She yelled, “Are you insane? Why did you slap Aiden? If you don’t give us an explanation now, we’ll stand in front of your office and call the cops on you!”Lamar was livid. He pushed away Martha who was being rude and unreasonable. Then, he roared, “F*ck off! How dare this f*cker pretend to be Mr. Clarke? I went easy on him! I should skin him alive and pluck out all of his nerves!”When he said that, Lamar glanced at Philip who was standing at one side.Then, he ign
“What’s going on? Aiden’s the one who solved this, right? Why is Mr. Collins here for Philip?”“Are you only seeing it now? Who is Philip? Isn’t he just a piece of trash?”“Martha is unreliable. She’s treating us like we’re fools!”The seniors gathered together and started gossiping. Their faces were filled with shock and envy.Martha could see it now. Mr. Collins had come here for her son-in-law.She pulled Philip to one side and asked in a flattering way, “Philip, do you know Mr. Collins?”This was the first time Philip felt this kindness from her.Philip wanted to tell her the truth, but after pondering, he said, “Mom, you’re mistaken. How would I know a man like Mr. Collins? I just called a friend of his and coincidentally, he’s responsible for this. Maybe he’s the one exerting pressure on him?”When Martha heard that, she was not suspicious. She nodded and said disappointedly, “I knew it. You’re just a coward. How would you know people like Mr. Collins?”Philip frowned.
This was the most savage statement Isabelle Ford had ever heard after so many years of selling Harley-Davidsons.He just came up and asked her if they had 100 bikes.Isabelle was stunned. After a while, she said bitterly, “Sir, are you sure you want 100? And you want 100 of the latest models?”Philip nodded indifferently. “Right. Do you not have that many? If not, it’s fine as long as they are Harleys.”Isabelle was stunned once again.It was fine as long as they were Harleys?Just how much did this man like Harleys?“Sir, we only have 32 in stock. We just did the count this morning. We don’t have 100,” Isabelle said sadly. Was this man really a nouveau riche?When Philip heard that, he lifted his eyebrow and looked around. “Only 32?”According to Philip’s calculation, he would at least need 100. Even though they only had more than ten employees, it would be fine if he hired more people.This was the first time Isabelle met a client who wanted to buy 100 Harleys in one go.
The next moment, they appeared in the world where Philip was. Coincidentally, they bumped into the arrogant Claude family. They happened to land at the Claude family’s new residence. The Claude family members were unhappy to see visitors at the door of their new home. “Who are you? Why are you here? You look weird. What are you?” Sadie happened to pass by at this time, and she scowled at the sight of these people. “This is no place for beggars. Go somewhere else to beg for food!” Sadie’s sharp tongue infuriated everyone. “How dare you, woman? Do you know who we are?” Weaver retorted furiously. He never dreamed that a woman would yell at him like this. No one had ever dared to insult him. “So what? Don't forget that we're the Claude family. Do you think you can mess around here?” While Sadie was talking, someone rushed over and looked at her excitedly. “I have news about Philip. Do you want it?” Sadie was excited to hear that. She forgot about the spider people and pulle
Everyone shook their heads upon hearing that. “We want to follow you not only because of your strength but also because you saved us. Our foundation and power are quite shaky at this point. It’s best if we can find a solid backer.” The three unique races handed their tokens to Philip. The three tokens were put together and dazzled brightly. Philip was curious about the tokens, which clearly had nothing to do with the ancestral land. They had the tokens in hand but could not figure out the situation. “Putting the three tokens together is proof that the three races have chosen to pledge our allegiance to you. It can be seen as a contract,” Fitz said excitedly. It was the first time they used this function. Philip was surprised to sense their allegiance when they activated the tokens. “In that case, you may come with me.” He took everyone into his Verge Tower space and left this place with them. He knew that he had picked up a huge bargain. All of them were not weak and cons
“Philip, I sense a seal in that man's body. I think that seal is preventing him from leaving this place. The seal is totally trapping him. If no one can help him to unlock that seal, he can forget about leaving this place.” Philip was surprised that Puffy managed to discover the problem in Fitz’s body. Before this, Puffy was still getting used to their language, so he could not communicate with Philip effectively. Now that he was more proficient, he could manage some basic communication with Philip and convey some important information. “This is not only affecting him but also everyone else. Everyone has a seal that binds them here. If they want to leave this place, they have to remove that constraint!” While Philip interacted with Puffy, the others looked at them anxiously. From their point of view, Philip fell silent after that strange remark. It confused them very much. “What are you trying to say?” Fitz said excitedly. He could not wait to hear what Philip had to say. H
The Claude family members went on a rampage and seized the square, building their house right in the middle of the city. Their house had been destroyed and needed to be rebuilt. They could do whatever they wanted with their strength now. The city guards tried to speak to them but were driven out by the Claude family. Several batches of city guards had been deployed, but no one could deal with them. The Claude family members were like gods of war. Whether men, women, young, or old, they could knock their opponents down easily. The most arrogant person among them was a woman named Sadie. She was so powerful that it felt as if she was above everything. Some people had heard of her name and knew that she used to be an ordinary person in the family. All of a sudden, she became the pillar of the Claude family. “If anyone knows Philip's whereabouts, tell us at once. Once we find Philip, we’ll definitely reward you handsomely!” Sadie said arrogantly to the crowd. She was very calm and
Without reason on their side, the spider people could not do anything. Now that everyone supported Philip, they would not give in to the spider people so easily. “Well, since your plan is that good, I think you should sacrifice one of your own people, at least to appease the magpie people." “I say Philip is right. Those guys are just putting on an act. They’ll never kill one of their own. Don’t be fooled by those hypocrites!” “We don’t want to work with the spider people!” All the races expressed their opinions. No one wanted anything to do with the spider people at all. They had gone too far. It would spell trouble to get involved with them. “Hehe, good riddance to bad rubbish. The spider people have always been up to no good. You get what you deserve!” Rabbit hopped excitedly, happy that the spider people had become the target of public outrage. “I believe the magpie people won't mind. We did it on the spur of the moment, so I think we should be forgiven. After all, t
Fitz felt particularly bad at the thought that he failed to protect his people. He vowed to take revenge. People of other races shared the same thoughts. Everyone thought that their people had gone out to seek ways to leave but were met with an accident. Unexpectedly, they were harmed by the spider people, which was simply despicable and unacceptable. “You just need to sacrifice one more person for everyone to leave this dangerous place and lift the curse from us,” Weaver said. Everyone's eyes turned bloodshot at his words, shocked that Weaver would say that so openly. “Hehe, you’re really bold to perform a sacrifice. Why not use one of your own?” Fitz laughed and stared at Weaver. Weaver scowled. Of course, the idea crossed his mind, but the records stated that they had to use other races for sacrifice. Using their own people as sacrifice would void it, so they had to use others. This would not only reduce the other party’s manpower but also save a lot of effort. However,
Philip wanted to figure out what the spider people were up to. It looked like they had been planning this for a long time, which was terrifying. He had to let the others know about this. Everyone had the right to know. Moreover, the pitiful magpie woman was scared out of her wits. Philip had to bring her home. “Let's go back now. We’ll explore this place later. Do you want to stay here or go out with us?” Philip looked at Celeste curiously. He did not think she was brave enough to venture out. Sure enough, Celeste tugged at the corner of her clothes as she pondered. “I'll go out with you!” Celeste finally decided after much deliberation. Since she had decided to follow Philip, there was no point in hiding here anymore. She had to pluck up the courage. Celeste had lived in the forest for very long and had never gone out before, so she was curious about the outside world. “I want to see the outside world!” Celeste said nervously. Philip simply nodded without a word. The
At this point, Philip sprang into action. He appeared in front of the other party, catching them off guard. “Who allowed you to kill people for no reason?” The spider people were shocked by Philip’s sudden appearance. They were frightened to see someone there, and he was none other than the human who had strayed into this place by accident. The spiders panicked and wanted to run, but Philip quickly released Puffy. The spider people could not escape because of the curse placed on them and also because of Puffy's existence. The passage only allowed entry, not exit. When anyone stepped into that passage, they would not only come under Puffy’s attack but also suffer a gut-wrenching pain. They felt something was wrong when they tried to escape. Someone noticed Puffy approaching them and yelled in fear, “It’s that deadly thing!” Someone recognized Puffy and ran away screaming. They had no chance of winning against Puffy, so they had no choice but to run. Seeing someone running aw
Philip could tell that Celeste wanted to help, but she was too weak to do anything. “Don’t worry so much. Let’s wait and see what happens. If possible, we won’t stand by and do nothing. These people are simply outrageous.” Philip did not have a good impression of the spider people, and this incident made it worse. “Not bad!” Rabbit hopped onto Celeste’s shoulder excitedly. Ever since he found out that Celeste had no ability, he liked her even more. He liked people who had no combat power. Except for that extra eye, there was nothing strange about her. Besides, she was quite a beautiful woman, so Rabbit was fond of her. “Philip will take care of it. Don’t worry about it. He’s an outstanding man who fights for justice. You’ll have a good life if you follow Philip, especially since you have that ability but are powerless to take care of yourself. I’m sure you need someone to protect you,” Rabbit chattered away. Rabbit knew how special Celeste’s ability was. She would be of gr
