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
‘What do you mean treating you to a meal even when I’m like this? You’re the ones who are forcing me!‘No!‘Treating you to a meal? Don’t go off-topic!’Harrison could not express his misery. He had no choice but to suffer in silence. The heartless grim reaper was talking loudly in front of him. How would he dare to revolt?Especially when Philip was addressing him so intimately. Harrison could not help but tremble. Philip was just trying to aggravate him by praising him excessively. This was not fun at all! He wanted so badly to just submit to Philip right now.He could not take this anymore, especially when that kid was praising him continuously and being so generous. He was livid as he slammed his hand down on the table and yelled, “Enough! F*cking…”In the end, before Harrison could finish swearing, he saw Philip sipping his alcohol coldly from the corner of his eye. He could not help but tremble after seeing that cold action and piercing gaze.Disdain!Yes, it was disdain!
He glanced at the signboard of Tex Hall and looked for the private room his nephew told him about. When he pushed open the door, he was shocked. What was happening? Harrison and Philip were enjoying themselves inside while the beautiful woman was sitting quietly next to them.From the looks of it, this looked like a gathering of old friends.Did Harrison not tell him to come hold the fort? What was going on, then?The man walked inside and sat down after pulling a chair. He lit a cigarette and kicked the table. He yelled, “Boy, where is he? How can you enjoy yourself like this? Do you want to do this or not?”Norm West looked down on his nephew. However, he was still his nephew after all. Blood was thicker than water. He had cleaned up after Harrison’s mess plenty of times before. It was always minor things like fights and nothing major. It would be fine after he talked to the other party.However, this time, his nephew told him that both of his legs were broken. He even had to be
“It’s done?”Suddenly, the woman opened her mouth. Her voice sounded super sweet. She looked over and there was a foxy allure in her eyes.“It’s time for me to show myself now,” Juan said coldly. He was fiddling with something in his hand.He had been waiting for this day for a very long time.“Juan, I have to warn you. Philip is not as simple as you think.”That woman got up slowly and moved her red lips. She let out a soft breath and said, “I’ve been watching him for a long time and I still can’t find a chance to take action against him. You’re too impulsive. If you mess this up, the master won’t be happy.”“Margot, when did you become so cautious? He’s just a young master from the Clarke Group in Capital City. Maybe I was scared of him before, but now, he’s not even worth my time. He’s just a piece of trash!” Juan said coldly. He savored the whiskey in his hand.Margot Pearson stretched lazily and chuckled lightly. “You’re taking action without thinking this time. I won’t tel
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
