This bunch of old men reacted differently. Some were respectful and polite while others were blunt and not very reasonable. Lyle was exasperated by them. “Anyway, I’ve said everything I can say. If you want to buy the pills, hurry up. If not, you don’t have to stay here anymore. It has been half an hour now. We’ll be closing soon.” Lyle felt annoyed by their constant chattering. It was aggravating to see them being so suspicious of the pills they clearly wanted to buy. Some amiable people bought some pills, and Lyle served them with a smile on his face. Very soon, one hour was up, and Lyle closed the door sternly. Those people with a bad attitude and who doubted Lyle had no choice but to return empty-handed. These old men had never suffered such humiliation. They were angry, but their good upbringing prevented them from losing their temper. “That kid is really arrogant. It’s just a lousy pill. Let’s see if it’s really that effective!” They were still unwilling to believe
Everyone quickly stuffed the pills into their mouths as if afraid that someone would steal the pills from them if they were too slow. They returned to normal after taking the pills. They laughed contentedly and decided to celebrate over good food and wine. They usually abstained from greasy food and liquor. These old men had not touched wine for many years. As commanders and strategists leading the battlefield, it was hard for them to stay away from wine. “Let’s go to that newly opened restaurant for a drink!” “I heard that they serve very good food and wine there. Let’s have a good time!” Although they had no chance to eat and drink, they had always been paying attention to such stores. After deciding, they marched to the restaurant while the remaining few old men were sullen. They did not expect that the pills would be effective, but the store was already closed for the day. Moreover, their crude and doubtful words just now might have offended others. Thus, they felt very b
Lyle approached Philip. Of course, they knew what was happening outside. “Philip, that old man has been sitting outside all night. I think he’s going to stay there until we open the door. Is he really that persistent?” Lyle said curiously. He thought the old man was out of his mind. “If he really wants a pill, he can just ask someone to buy it for him. Why sit there in person?” Aslan was puzzled and could not figure out his intentions. “He’s just being earnest. You guys don’t understand him at all. He feels that he has offended us, so he's waiting at the door to apologize to us. Since he has gone to such lengths, let’s not make things difficult for him anymore.” Considering the other party’s age, Philip could not bear it anymore and asked Lyle to open the door. It was no big deal to open for business earlier today. Lyle tidied up the store and opened for business early in the morning. Bane stood at the door nervously, wondering how he should apologize. Lyle started clea
Bane smiled. Since Philip invited him to have some tea, he would not refuse. He had smelled a rich fragrance at the door, and it refreshed his mind and body. He felt much better after that. Bane thanked Philip and drank the tea in one gulp. After that, he glanced at Philip excitedly. He was surprised at this perfect cup of tea. He was unsatisfied with just one cup of tea, but he was embarrassed to ask for more. Philip obviously read his thoughts and poured him a bigger cup of tea. “You can steep this tea all day long. You just need to add hot water from time to time. But you can only enjoy the effects of the tea leaves for one day. They'll be no different from normal tea leaves after that.” Bane nodded excitedly. He never thought that Philip would reward him with a pot of tea like this! Millions of energy stones would not be enough to pay for this pot of tea! He was not a businessman and could not make an accurate valuation, but he had never seen this tea before. It had to
At Riverdale Public Hospital. “Excuse me, make way!” Philip Clarke was carrying an unconscious little girl as he rushed into the hospital, yelling madly, “Doctor! Doctor! Quick, save my little girl!” The nurses and doctor who had rushed out quickly took the child from Philip’s arms, and entered the emergency room. “Oh, you can’t go in!” A nurse in an azure-colored uniform with a face mask stopped Philip from entering into the emergency room. Just then, the rapid sounds of high heels clicking against the ceramic tiles could be heard from the back, squeezing his heart with every click. “Philip Clarke!” roared a woman’s voice. ‘Slap!’ A crisp slap came in firm contact with Philip’s cheek. Before him, stood Wynn Johnston with an enraged expression as tears pooled in her beautiful eyes. “If anything happens to my daughter, I will never forgive you!” Her tone was cold and laced with full fury. This scene frightened quite a few patients and their family members in the hospital
Philip’s expression changed, frowning slightly. Seeing Philip in his delivery uniform, looking shabby, Lily pointed at the door and said, “Get out now, we don’t allow delivery men here.” “I’m not here for delivery,” explained Philip. Lily tidied her bangs before crossing her arms and said icily, “This is not the first time I hear this. Everyone that comes in here says they’re not delivery men. Please!” “I’m not. I’m here to see George Thomas.” Feeling exasperated, Philip headed inside after saying that. “F*ck! Are you mad? Didn’t you hear what I was saying?” Lily was furious. It was her first time seeing such a shameless delivery man who would just force his way in after being denied entry. Just then, a department manager seemed to have heard the commotion and came out with an ugly expression. “What’s going on?” “Manager Stuart, this delivery man is trying to force his way into our office!” Lily pointed at Philip and then continued with much disdain, “I’ll get security to
“It’s just money. Who said I didn’t manage to borrow any?” Philip glared viciously at Juan. Juan was dumbstruck as his expression froze. When the surprise was still evident in his eyes, Philip tossed the plastic bag in his hand in front of him and Wynn. The bag fell with a loud thud and rolls of cash appeared before their eyes. The corner of Juan’s eye twitched slightly as his lips trembled. His hands had subconsciously balled into fists. Wynn was surprised. She stared at the money Philip had tossed in front of them, confused, but then her expression immediately turned cold as anger surfaced in her eyes. Where did Philip get all this money? If he had this, why didn’t he take it out earlier? I even had to keep another man company by chatting happily with him! Doesn’t he know how tiring it is? “Here’s a hundred thousand. I’m paying you back all at once, including the past loans! Don’t ever come here again,” said Philip coldly. Juan did not take the money. To be frank, this
Wilson was now boiling with anger! That madman blocked the new boss’ Bentley! Was he looking for trouble? “Philip Clarke, what are you still standing there for? Get out of the way!” Wilson pointed at Philip and barked at him. Philip had only just parked his scooter when he received another round of scolding from Wilson. “Oh no! Philip’s done for this time. Brother Wil’s going to have a fit.” “Ten complaint calls, and this crazy guy still has the guts to come back!” “This will cost at least two hundred in deductions, that’s a day’s work!” A few staff were gossiping quietly, and some others were enjoying the show. Among them were some old staff who used to work for Philip. When they saw the man reduced to the point of having to become a delivery man just like them, they started becoming more mean toward him. Philip was already used to it. Just then, Mr. Tanks glanced at Philip coldly. He looked annoyed and asked, “Manager Young, is this your staff?” Wilson quickly answere
