“Hey buddy, I’m sorry to bother you.” Yule's attitude was quite nice. He approached Lyle and looked at him anxiously. Lyle was at a loss to see the guy at his feet. He had no idea why he encountered this mess when he was only here for a meal. “What’s up? I remember you, but the deal between us is over. Don’t try to rip me off,” Lyle exclaimed in mock horror. Yule quickly explained, “I’d like you to explain the whole situation to me again. I can consider giving you another sum of money if you can match the testimony with my man.” Hearing that, Lyle shook his head. He had no time to waste on them. “Forget it, your rough actions have ruined my appetite. I don't want your money. Please don't follow me anymore. It’s annoying.” After saying this, Lyle walked away. Lyle seemed very unhappy as if he was done talking to them. Yule scowled at his disrespect. “Don't you think you've gone too far?” Yule frowned and said unhappily as Lyle tried to leave. Lyle did not look back. He d
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
“Why are you here?” Wynn frowned and glanced at the Bentley beside Philip. Did he just come out from that car? Is this my wretched husband? Or do delivery companies now deliver meals in Bentleys? “I… I uh…” Philip stammered then swept a look at George who was smiling like a flower through the window. The old man quickly put out a hand and said, “Young man, thank you. It’s thanks to you that I finally found this place. Let this old man treat you to a meal next time to show my gratitude.” Philip smiled and nodded politely. “That’s okay, sir. Please take care on your way back.” The tone of his voice hinted to the elderly man to leave quickly. George did not say anything but smiled and nodded at Wynn before asking the driver to move away. Wynn froze in shock! Wasn’t… wasn’t that the chairman of Apex Group, President Thomas?! The wealthiest man in the city! And Philip was just in the same car with him! “Do you know George Thomas?” Wynn looked back at Philip, surprised. Philip
Philip casually made a call to George Thomas. “George, help me check for the latest projects that Wynn Johnston is handling within Beacon Pharmaceutical. Is there a million-dollar order? Let me know who is the client and the person in charge.” From the other end came George’s respectful voice, saying, “Young Master, Beacon Pharmaceutical is one of the companies that the Clarke family invests in. I’ll get President Hall of Beacon to visit you personally.” Huh? Beacon Pharmaceutical is actually one of the companies our family invests in? My dad is too awesome! Philip suddenly regretted not inheriting the family business earlier. “No need to. Investigate quickly and have the client smoothen the whole process so that they won’t give Wynn a hard time,” said Philip calmly. “Young Master, I recommend you to just buy over that client’s company. You don’t lack the money,” George suggested. What the f*ck! Buy over? As expected of a butler from a wealthy family. Oh George, old man, do
The Bentley soon arrived at Riverdale Virtuous Court. This was a famous restaurant in the city where only the wealthy and prestigious could dine. Virtuous Court also required a membership reservation where the minimum requirement was to spend at least one million to keep the membership. At that moment, standing at the entrance of Virtuous Court was a well-known entrepreneur. The chairman of Civil Trading Group, Russell Field. The company specialized in import and export business, mainly dealing with artistic pieces. As the company chairman, Russell himself was a wealthy man worth three billion! He was also a nationally famous collector! A well-known figure within the local collector’s community. Russell had brought more than ten personnel from his highest management to wait respectfully at the entrance of Virtuous Court with him. This scene caused quite a shock to the patrons dining at the restaurant. There were even bursts of exclamation. “Isn’t that the chairman of Civil Tradin

The other party quickly told them about the situation, and everyone was fascinated. Suddenly, a roar came from the side. “Arden!” Everyone jerked awake from their enthrallment. They were familiar with this voice and found it odd to hear it. “Did you hear a voice just now?” “I think so. Is it our boss’ voice?” “How is it possible? Are you drunk? Why would he appear in this place?” They knew that their boss was a gentleman and would never step into this place. At this time, the man named Arden was pulled out by his hair. “Ouch!” he screamed in pain, unable to react. More terrifyingly, the person doing it was his boss. He turned and glanced at Yule anxiously.“What’s up with the information you gave me? Why is it different from what I've been hearing? Everyone said there’s no beautiful woman in the forest, only a powerful but ugly woman!” Yule roared as he wrecked the place. Seeing this, the others ran for their lives. Arden was knocked to the ground and had no idea
“Hey buddy, you seem very troubled. Do you know something? Why don’t you tell me about it?” Yule asked curiously. “There’s no point in doing this. You can't find this woman even if you know anything about her.” Philip rolled his eyes. He had matched his testimony with Aslan before this, so he knew exactly what to say. Yule was very excited. He looked at Philip curiously, waiting to hear what he had to say. “This woman has been living in a remote place for a long time, and she’s very powerful. You’re no match for her. I saw her in the beast forest before and know she’s a force to be reckoned with because she almost killed me. Besides, this portrait is too bland. In reality, she has five eyes and looks very scary. “Forget it, I won’t say anymore. It freaks me out just talking about her.” Philip took the money and left, unwilling to stay a second longer. Seeing Philip’s hasty retreat, Yule felt that something was not normal. If this woman was so mysterious, why would so many
Foxy was having tea with Philip, smiling brightly as she did. “So, this is tea made by humans. It smells pretty good. I wonder what it tastes like.” Foxy swallowed the tea in one gulp. Since tea leaves were quite precious, Foxy knew that she was in for a treat. After drinking the tea, Foxy was shocked to find some changes in her body and felt that she had become stronger. At this time, Aslan rushed over anxiously, staring at Philip in disbelief. “Philip, guess what I just heard?” Aslan was very worried about this development. Philip was puzzled, wondering what was wrong with Aslan to say this to him. “Well, since you didn’t guess it right, let me tell you. Someone is making inquiries about Foxy outside.” Philip and Foxy frowned, not expecting this turn of events. “What? What's going on? Tell me in detail. If someone is asking about Foxy, has she been exposed? How is that possible? We've been very cautious about it. How did this happen?” Philip was confused. They covered
Seeing Aslan’s greed, Yule was so angry that he trembled all over, but he was a smart man and knew what to do. “Indeed, a few energy stones aren't worth much. I can consider giving you something else if you can tell me more information.” Yule patted Aslan’s shoulder, trying to gloss things over. “No problem. As long as the price is right, everything can be discussed. To tell you the truth, this woman is nothing worth mentioning. “She’s not as beautiful as in the portrait. On the contrary, she’s very ugly. At least for me, I’ve never seen such an ugly woman in my life, but she’s quite powerful. Don’t think you can mess with her just because she’s ugly.” Yule frowned at this unexpected situation. “Are you saying that she looks different than in the portrait? If that’s the case, why—” Yule was interrupted before he could finish his words. “Now that I’ve given you such important information, you need to pay me or I won’t be happy about it.” Aslan beckoned Yule, waiting fo
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
