“It’s fine. I know the limit. This guy can’t die yet.”Philip chuckled and said.When the tattooed guy heard what Philip said, he trembled in fear. When he was about to say something, he inhaled the cold air that smelled of blood.It was as if his legs did not belong to him anymore. He had never experienced this kind of excruciating pain before.Due to the pain in his legs, the tattooed man lied on the floor while moaning for a very long time. He was calling for help in a small voice.He opened his mouth. He wanted to scream for help.Pfft!When he opened his mouth, a very spicy powder invaded his nostrils and mouth.“You want to call for help? Why didn’t you do it before? You can’t blame others for your stupidity.”Philip’s gaze was ferocious. He was holding a bag of chili powder.The tattooed man felt as if he was going to be choked to death. The spicy chili powder was being stuffed into his nostrils and mouth. At that moment, he felt as if his soul had left his body. He wa
The entire room was filled with the pungent smell of urine. It was also combined with the smell of chili powder.The tattooed guy was beyond petrified now. He had even fainted from fear.Philip looked at Nina helplessly. Then, he spread out his hands to tell her that this guy was too timid. He yanked the tattooed man’s hair and dragged him to the kitchen. He splashed a basin of water on his face and the guy woke up.When he opened his eyes and saw Philip, he was terror-stricken. He shivered while yelling for help on the floor.His eyes were filled with tears. He was screaming until his voice was hoarse.“How is it? Are you awake now? Alright then, it’s time to talk about the compensation like civilized members of society.”Philip was smiling mockingly as he said.Compensation?The tattooed man was so touched that he wanted to cry. ‘You should indeed compensate me after hitting me!‘He’s a coward, after all. He even wants to bribe me.’ The tattooed man started plotting in his h
Nina asked all of a sudden with red eyes. She grabbed Philip’s arm bravely. She looked vulnerable and fragile. “I’m scared. I’m scared that Harrison will come back with more people.”Philip lowered his head and looked at Nina’s hands that were on his arm. He removed her hands slowly and chuckled. “It’ll be fine. That guy’s just strong in appearance but weak in reality. If he dares to come back, just call me.”After chatting with Nina for a while, Philip left.He could not stay here any longer. It was just the two of them.Philip was still defensive.Nina did not force him to stay. She walked him downstairs.Philip waved his hand and put his hands into his pockets. He hummed a song and walked away carefreely.In Nina’s eyes, Philip’s back looked broad and strong. Perhaps, this was the man she should go after.She was sure that this would be another sleepless night.When Nina got back to her house, she saw that there were three men in her house.The leader of the three men was
Philip explained. “Don’t worry about this matter, Wynnie. A friend of mine introduced Buffer to me. Don’t overthink. Just take good care of the company.”Wynn wanted to say something but stopped herself. When she wanted to ask something else, the door of the room was opened.Martha stood at the door with a grin. She did not care about their expressions as she barged in. She smiled and asked, “I heard you two saying that you’ve solved the company’s trouble?”“Mom, why are you always eavesdropping?”Wynn felt helpless. She lifted her eyebrow.Her mother did not have a limit at all. This was not the first time she eavesdropped.Martha rolled her eyes at Wynn and ignored her. Then, she turned around to look at Philip with a grin on her face. She said, “Philip, did you take care of it? You even have such an amazing friend. When can you invite them for dinner at our place? After all, they’ve helped us so much.”Martha was being extremely amiable right now.Philip smiled and said, “Ma
Why did Martha steal the card?She had remembered something last night. When she checked the balance in the bank the previous time, she saw that there was 100 billion in the balance!Everyone said she was just seeing things. Even the bank said the system was faulty.However, Martha did not believe them. She wanted to go see for herself.At this moment, Philip was already at the hospital. He saw Mila and Anne.Mila called him in the sweetest voice and jumped into his arms.Philip held Mila and was beaming. His daughter was the source of his happiness. “Did you miss Daddy?”“Yeah!” Mila answered adorably and obediently.When Anne saw the happy father and daughter, a smile appeared on her face.“Annie, pack your things. Let’s go home,” said Philip.On the way back to the villa, Philip got Nina’s phone call. She said she needed to see him.After pondering for a while, Philip decided to let Anne take Mila back to the villa first. Then, he called a cab to go to the office.Philip
“What’s wrong with my card?”Martha was anxious. She tried to crane her neck over to the other end of the glass to see what was on the computer screen.“Madam, I’m sorry. We can’t check the balance of your card for the time being. Plus, our branch doesn’t have the permission to check your card. You need to go to our headquarters.”The woman behind the counter said apologetically.This was the first time she encountered this.There were two big red words on her computer screen that spelled out ‘No permission’.What was going on?“Why is this happening? Can you try checking it again? I remember seeing a lot of money on this card previously.”Martha refused to give up.The woman behind the counter did not know what to do as well. She got up and fetched the manager.When the manager got here and saw the words ‘no permission’ on the screen, he was puzzled as well.He had been working here for 20 years but never encountered this before.He even asked Martha to reenter the pin. Ho
After a long while, she finally saw an elegant figure walking down the spiral stairs. She was wearing a long black dress and there was a Persian in her arms.With every step, the woman’s high heels clicked against the tiles. Martha felt as if her heart had been struck.Giada!It was Giada!Martha was petrified.What did she want?Giada looked at Martha who was trembling all over and sat down on the sofa. She caressed her Persian and said coldly, “We meet again, Martha.”“M-Madam Wallis, what are you doing? I didn’t do anything wrong, did I?”Martha was terror-stricken. She was scared that Giada would hit her again.There was a cold smile on Giada’s lips, and her eyes were filled with disdain. She said, “I didn’t call you here for any particular reasons. I just want you to do something for me. Once you do it, you’ll get five million bucks.”After she said that, Giada’s subordinate took out five silver boxes and placed them in front of Martha.When the boxes were opened, there
At this moment, Philip’s phone rang!It was from George!He put down the glass and walked out of the hall. “Old Man George, how’s it going…”His voice got softer and softer as he walked further away.Martha let out a sigh of relief when she saw Philip putting down the glass. She was extremely fidgety.Thankfully, he did not drink it.However, Martha started to panic again. She had already used one packet, which meant she only had two more chances left.Should she let Philip drink this?Martha was feeling nervous. It was not poison, so he would not die.After Philip walked out of the hall, he went to a corner. George’s respectful voice sounded from the other end of the phone. He said, “Young Master, we couldn’t find Mr. Fennel Leigh in Chinatown. I went to his place, but he’s not there anymore.”“Not there anymore?”Philip frowned. After staying silent for a while, he said, “Alright, understood. Just find a place to stay over there and keep in touch with him.”After he hung
“This tea is simply amazing. I’m surprised that Philip is lucky enough to find this treasure!” “By the way, why is Philip alone? Where's that rabbit?” Everyone looked around but saw no signs of the rabbit and had to give up. In the end, only a mouthful of tea was left in the pot. After much deliberation, they decided to give it to the patriarch. After all, it was a rare treasure! They quickly tied Philip up. Once Philip lost his freedom, they had nothing to worry about. They wanted to take credit for their finding and let the family know about this rare treasure.… Meanwhile, Cameron was in his room, thinking about how to carry out the competition. He had just finished talking with Ronan and was in a good mood. He was surprised by Ronan’s attitude. Ronan did not hold a grudge against them and desperately wanted to join their family, which was simply too good to be true. More importantly, Ronan was strong enough to win the competition for them. Cameron did not care whet
At this moment, Philip noticed something unusual and realized that someone had sneaked into his yard. He was amused that someone dared to mess with him. “Surround this area while I poison him. After he’s dead, don’t forget to bring the rabbit along with us. It’s best if we can figure out the rabbit’s secret. If not, just silence the rabbit too!” The person taking the lead explained the plan. He was none other than Sadie’s husband. For the sake of his position in the family and his son, he had to take the risk. Philip was enjoying his premium spiritual tea, and that fragrance could not be concealed at all. Very soon, the intruders smelled the fragrance and followed their noses to find the source. “Do you smell something fragrant? I feel that my strength has improved after a whiff of this smell!” “I feel refreshed with just one whiff as if my ailment has been relieved. That ailment has been bothering me for years. This is amazing!” Everyone was excited as they tracked the s
Cameron never thought that he would lose to a rabbit in an argument. After a brief silence, he finally decided to ignore the matter for the time being. Since the treasures were in Rabbit’s hands, he had to talk to Ronan about the competition. “Ronan, come with me. I want to tell you about the competition. Your friend can stay. We’ll treat him with the utmost courtesy!” Cameron invited Ronan kindly while signaling to everyone. As long as Ronan was not around, they could attack and even kill Philip on the spot. Philip would be useless once they figured out Rabbit’s secret. If Ronan asked, they could say that Philip decided to leave. Anyway, they had all sorts of excuses to take care of this. Ronan glanced at Philip and walked to the conference hall. Ronan knew that he had to deal with these people himself. Philip was only here to give him courage. Philip gave him a reassuring look and returned to the house. He was interested in the competition, so he wanted to figure out
“Are you talking about this rabbit? He’s not my pet. He belongs to my friend.” Ronan shrugged. He wanted such a pet, but he was not good enough. Hearing that, Cameron's face turned pale. Although the rabbit was an additional benefit, he never thought that he would fail to get it. Cameron glared at Philip. He did not have a good impression of Philip. Philip looked like a troublemaker. He suspected that Philip had influenced Ronan into making things difficult for them. Cameron wanted to drive Philip away, but Ronan abruptly said that this matter was related to Philip. Before he could weigh the pros and cons, Cameron decided to hide his emotions. At least, he could not reveal his dislike for Philip. “I see. Your friend seems like a casual practitioner. Why don't he consider joining our family? For your sake, I can give him the same treatment and allow the two of you to take part in the competition as representatives of the family. I believe you’ll do your best and won’t let me
At this time, Rabbit hopped to Philip's side. “Philip, I was out for a walk yesterday and heard some rumors. They’ll be holding a competition among the humans soon, and all major families and forces will send some contestants for the fight. “Either a family or a force that is in charge of an area can join the competition. I heard that the Claude family is taking part.” Hearing this, and combined with their reaction, Philip guessed something. They probably wanted to trick Ronan into participating in the competition, which was why they were approaching him so enthusiastically. “There’s more.” Rabbit smiled and leaned forward, clearly asking for a beating. Philip saw Rabbit’s reaction and hit his face. “Just spit it out. Stop messing around!” Rabbit chuckled and said, “I heard that the Claude family is negotiating a business deal, and the prerequisite is that Ronan must participate in the competition and win first place. Although I don't know why, that’s the only condition the
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
