Wynn had no way of knowing, and she did not have the time to wonder either.Blake chuckled coolly and stood up, patting down his suit. “You have much to learn, Madam Johnston. 40% is your bottom line, but 50% is mine. Again, take your time to reconsider. I’m in no hurry to get an answer.”Blake stood up and left.When Blake walked out of the conference room and passed by the marketing department's office, he suddenly heard a call behind him.“Come quick, Philip!” a colleague shouted.Philip had had nothing to do, so he went to the washroom, but then he heard someone calling his name as soon as he walked through the door.Blake frowned deeply, his face instantly ice-cold. He looked at Philip’s smiling face and imprinted that image into his heart!That was the man! That was Philip Clarke, the one his son had mentioned!The man who had repeatedly interrupted his plans.They truly were enemies, fated to meet. Philip could feel the intense hostility emanating from the man behind hi
At around three or four that afternoon, the company suddenly called for a management meeting, leaving everyone worried.To make things worse, someone somehow leaked the news that the Michaels were pulling out of their deal!“Damn it! Who leaked it? Who spread the rumor? Find out!”In the chairwoman’s office, Wynn was so furious that her body shook with rage. “Also, get every member of the management to the conference room for a meeting later!”Nina had never seen her boss so angry before, and she said hurriedly, “Yes, ma’am. I’ll get right to it.”With that, she hastily left the chairwoman’s office and stood outside the door to catch her breath.“What’s the matter, Nina?”That sudden voice startled Nina into looking up. It was Philip.“Why did you come up here?” she asked.Philip scratched his head and glanced at the chairwoman’s office, saying bewilderedly, “Madam Johnston asked me to drop by.”Nina nodded and suddenly reminded him, “Be careful what you say later. She’s rath
Smack!The moment Shirley spoke, Philip instantly slapped her across the face.Without an ounce of hesitation!Right in front of Houston, without a hint of fear!Shirley was stunned. She held her cheek, which had a scarlet handprint on it, and she looked at Philip with widened eyes for a long time before screaming hysterically, “How dare you hit me! Mr. Michaels, he hit me!”Houston was taken aback by Philip’s ferociousness too. The next second, he erupted in rage!Philip had smacked his woman before his very eyes!Houston pointed at Philip and howled, “The sheer nerve! How dare you! Don’t you know who she is?!”“I know. She’s your little honey baby,” Philip said off-handedly.“You!”Houston was so furious that his face was crimson, and he raised his hand, swinging it at Philip.Of course, he was no match for Philip. They had barely crossed swords when Philip twisted his arm and pressed him against the wall!“Let go! I’m the vice-chairman here! Lay a hand on me and I’ll fir
“Damn punk, you asked for this!”His expression darkening, one of the guards pulled the baton from his waist and rushed forward, swinging it down at Philip’s head!If that hit landed, it would definitely crack Philip’s skull!Philip raised a brow, his expression rapidly turning cold. His aura suddenly turned sharp as a knife!He never expected them to come for the kill like this!The next instant, Philip had taken the baton from the guard’s hand. At the same time, while the guard was still stunned, Philip lashed his foot out and sent the guard flying out through the glass window!Crash!The glass shattered and the guard flew out of the window. He crashed into the ground and stayed down!The remaining guard was terrified and trembling now. He hurriedly fell to his knees and begged, “Please, Brother Clarke, spare me! We were just proceeding on Mr. Michaels’ orders, please don’t…”Bam!Philip simply kicked the guard out of the door.The entire door fell on its hinges from the i
At the Riverdale branch of the Clarke Group.The chairman’s office on the highest floor.Philip stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back, looking out at the sunset outside. There was the red sky the color of wine and the busy streets below.Hudson Cash was standing behind Philip respectfully.“The Michaels family from Golden City wants to pull out of their deal with Beacon. Mobilize our businesses in the pharmaceutical industry to fill the gap the Michaels will leave behind.”Philip said calmly, his eyes faintly cold.Hudson looked pale. “Young Master, that might be slightly difficult.”“Difficult?” Philip turned around, his expression cold as he looked at Hudson.Hudson had broken out into a cold sweat as well, his waist bowed low. “Young Master, you don’t have the right to use any of the family’s resources anymore. Madam Wallis put a family restraining order on you, just an hour ago. She even froze the billion bucks you wanted to invest i
“What’s going on?”Philip walked over in a hurry and held her hands, asking her.Wynn sobbed, “They said that the villa doesn’t belong to us anymore, so they’re here to kick us out.”Philip frowned deeply. This was clearly Giada’s doing.Indeed, George had been the one who initially bought this villa, and he used the family’s assets to do so.Giada was well within her rights to take it back.However, this was mere child’s play to both Giada and Philip. It was more like she was just causing him trouble on purpose.“Stop, this is our home! What right do you have to throw our stuff out? This is robbery, it’s trespassing! I’m calling the cops!”Martha was covered in sweat as she desperately tried to stop the bodyguards in black.However, they ignored her and merely shoved her aside, sending her falling onto her butt on the floor.“Help, robbers! Daylight robbery! Oh, where is the justice?!”Martha just sat on the floor and wailed, slapping her thighs and making a scene.Her hai
Philip’s expression was cold and his fists clenched as he walked toward the guard he had sent flying.That was the man who had shoved Wynn and caused her to cut her hand open. He even shattered their wedding photo.He deserved hell!The guards exchanged a look and stepped forward, trying to stop Philip. One of them said, “Please leave the villa, sir.”Bam!Philip lashed out his foot abruptly, kicking the man who spoke in the chest. The latter fell quite a few steps back!“As expected of dirty Wallis dogs. You’re stupid enough to bark at me!”Philip said coolly, his eyes devoid of warmth as he stared at the dozen or so men. There was no hint of fear anywhere in his demeanor.That was how he held himself!Strong enough to stand his ground against more than ten men on his own!Anyone who witnessed this would think that he was overestimating himself.However, those guards could only swallow their protests and keep warning him. “Please leave the villa immediately, or else we’ll h
Meanwhile, Philip and Wynn arrived at the hospital, where they treated their wounds.Wynn was very worried. Looking at Philip, she asked, “Did those men say that you lost access to the family funds?”In other words, her husband was now penniless and broke, right?Wynn was worried that Philip would do something irrational as a result.Philip held Wynn’s soft little hand and said with a gentle smile, “It’s alright, don’t worry. At the worst, we’ll just start over. We made it this far, haven’t we? I can solve any problem as long as I have you.”Wynn smiled, tears in her eyes. Her heart was full as she leaned into Philip’s chest, saying, “If it really comes down to that, honey, I’ll resign from the company, and we can move out of the villa. I think my mom has some money too, so we can buy another house and start a small breakfast shop. How does that sound?”Philip hugged Wynn and nodded. “Sure, sounds good.”‘Don’t worry, honey, we’ll be fine.‘I’ll sweep away every obstacle in you
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
