Philip was stunned.‘This friend is sitting right next to you. It’s your husband.’“Oh, in due time. He’s overseas.”Philip smiled awkwardly and said.Wynn nodded and did not say anything.The Riverdale business dinner party would be held in the presidential banquet hall of Shangri-La Hotel tonight. All of the top 100 well-known leaders in different industries would be there. All of the rich and famous entrepreneurs of the pharmaceutical industry from Riverdale would be at the party tonight. All of them had net worths of over 100 million.A lot of important entrepreneurs from other cities had been invited here.The top ten representatives of the pharmaceutical industry were all invited as well.Plus, the host of this party, Cynthia Larson, was standing at the entrance welcoming all of the guests from different industries.Wynn’s car stopped in front of the red carpet. She was wearing a black strapless and backless gown while Philip was wearing a neat suit. When they appeared
After the crowd left, Wynn let out a sigh of relief. These old foxes were more cunning than the next.Philip could tell that a lot of them were plotting against Wynn.Rather than plotting against Wynn, they were plotting against the recipe and data of the new medicine. In addition to that, the huge profit that would come with it.“How are you feeling? Are you tired?”Philip was standing next to Wynn in concern. He noticed that she did not look so good.“It’s fine. I’ll go and sit down for a bit.”Wynn shook her head and felt a little nauseous. Plus, she felt a little light-headed as well.At the same time.“Madam Johnston, I heard that son of a gun, Blake, say that you have a new medicine to combat cancer? What a coincidence! Drei Group is planning to move in that direction. Why don’t Beacon Pharmaceutical work with Drei Group? We can take down Riverdale and the South River District. It won’t be a problem at all. What do you think about the opinion of an old man like me?”At t
Houston was wearing a white suit. He downed his drink and turned his head to look at the man who was wearing a navy blue suit not far away from him.When he saw that man, Houston behaved extremely respectfully. Then, he picked up another glass and walked over to the man in the navy blue suit.If that man could make Houston behave so respectfully, then he must be someone extraordinary!There were a lot of men gathering around that man. They were all praising and complimenting him.“Houston, I heard you were hospitalized. Are you okay?”One of the young men asked with a smile on his face when he saw Houston walking over to them.Houston smiled and replied, “It’s nothing. Just a bug.”Actually, he had been beaten up by Philip.The young man in the navy blue suit did not even look at Houston. He swirled the wine in his hand and looked through the crowd. His gaze was locked on Wynn who was a distance away from him.“Oh? Are you interested in that woman, Master Quaid?”Houston was
Houston looked at Master Quaid nervously. He could tell that Master Quaid had already taken an interest in Wynn. He was still hesitant because he wanted to use Master Quaid to destroy Wynn and Philip. However, he would surely lose Wynn like this.Master Quaid noticed Houston’s change in expression from the corner of his eyes. However, he was not bothered. He was a young master from an influential family, so he could immediately tell what Houston was planning. Despite that, he was not bothered since all of his attention was on Wynn.He wanted this woman so badly!Houston lowered his voice and asked, “Master Quaid, aren’t you going to go talk to Wynn?”“Not yet. The party tonight is more important.”Master Quaid swirled the wine in his glass. He was not in a hurry. Marcus Quaid would make any woman he wanted present themselves to him obediently.However, after he finished saying that, he noticed a familiar figure.Cynthia walked over slowly in an evening gown. She was approaching
At this moment.Houston walked out from the crowd and pointed at Philip. He said angrily, “Philip, do you know who you’re talking to? That’s Master Quaid! The young master from the Quaid family in Capital City!”Houston had a meticulous plan. He would come out and speak up for Marcus so that he could gain some dignity for him. Through this, he would be able to be closer to Marcus.When Houston said this, the entrepreneur and aristocrats in the pharmaceutical industry were all berating Philip for being arrogant. He was not gentlemanly at all!All kinds of criticisms filled the air. They were all saying that Philip should not be here.It was such a disappointment to have a piece of trash like him over here.Philip was not bothered. He only smiled. However, one could not tell what he was thinking from that smile.Was this guy not worried that this young master from Capital City would do something to Beacon?“Alright, it’s fine. It’s nothing. Philip is just a straightforward person
When Shirley saw that Houston was being beaten up, she walked out from the crowd and helped him up. Then, she scolded Philip. “You’re so rude! This is a high-end party in Riverdale! How dare you be so arrogant! Security, kick him out!”She finally had a chance, so Shirley did not hold herself back in criticizing Philip. However, she was wrong.Philip snickered and walked in front of Shirley. He grabbed her hair and slapped both sides of her face simultaneously. He slapped her six to seven times without holding back. Then, he said coldly, “You’re everywhere. How can a cheap wh*re like you bark at me?”Marcus came forward. His face was cold. He said unhappily, “Dude, you’re attacking people just because they criticized you. That’s not appropriate, is it?”Philip glanced at him coldly. The aura around him got more and more intense. A sudden coldness enveloped the hall, and Marcus was so stunned that he could not come back to his senses after a long while.How scary! Why did this man
Finally, Marcus lifted his eyebrows after having a chance to take a breather. He looked at Philip with his bright red eyes. A hint of malice flashed across his lips as he got up from the floor slowly.His expensive suit was already drenched with all kinds of alcohol and dessert. He looked like he just climbed out from a garbage pile. He looked horrible.Marcus got up and removed his suit jacket before throwing it on the floor. Then, he pointed at Philip and yelled hysterically, “Do you want to die? Do you know what consequences you have to suffer for kicking me?”Marcus’ eyes were dark. He was looking at Philip like he was going to devour him.Yes, he was the second young master of the Quaids and Philip was indeed asking to die by doing that to him.However, Philip spread his hands and said fearlessly, “That’s the most hilarious joke I’ve ever heard. I’ve already kicked you and you’re still being pretentious in front of me. Don’t you think that’s pointless?“Consequences? What co
No one knew who gained the most at this party tonight. In addition to that, no one dared to stay anymore.The second young master of the Quaid was confident that Beacon would suffer the most horrendous revenge by the Quaids.Philip lifted his glass while standing next to Wynn. He savored his wine heartlessly. Then, he asked, “Darling, are you scared of the Quaids’ revenge?”Wynn frowned and said, “Then why did you attack him?”“I just don’t like him. Plus, he was looking at you inappropriately.”Philip mumbled.Wynn rolled her eyes at him and said, “I’ll just accept whatever revenge the Quaids want to throw at me. At the end of the day, you’re my husband. Or I can just shut down the company and quit if I can’t handle it.” Wynn was feeling helpless, but she knew Philip only did this because he loved her.Philip shrugged and laughed. “Alright, we can go and sell breakfast by the roadside.”“In your dreams,” Wynn replied coldly.Philip pondered for a while and smiled. He said,
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
It felt good to have a capable henchman around. Philip could not be bothered to waste his precious time on these losers. Cameron and his men reached the door when a rabbit fell from the sky. The old woman and the others knew the rabbit’s habits and warned everyone to watch out. However, the elites were caught off guard and looked around blankly, wondering what was going on. The next moment, the loudmouthed man was knocked to the ground. Rabbit landed on the guy and started punching and kicking, certain that the man would suffer the utmost pain from this beating. Cameron and the others were dumbfounded by this scene. They had heard of powerful spirit pets but had never seen a rabbit as a spirit pet. The rabbit was good at fighting, so it should not be an ordinary creature. “Go away and stop bothering us. I’ll kill you if I don’t get a good night’s sleep! Let me show you what I can do!” Rabbit swung his fists seemingly at random, but every punch landed. Cameron stood far aw
At this time, Cameron and his men returned in the middle of the night. He saw the Claude family members crying as soon as he returned. They were bruised and battered from a beating, looking utterly miserable. Cameron was furious that someone would dare to bully his family members while he was away. “What's going on? Why are you in this state? Did someone cause trouble while I was away?” Cameron was angry and in disbelief, feeling that something was strange. Everyone nodded nervously. “Ronan is here!” The old woman who suffered the worst beating was very upset and glared viciously in Ronan’s direction. “Cameron, although you left me in charge while you were away, I can’t do it anymore. Ronan kept messing with us and even brought some people to beat us up!” The old woman made up stories and described Ronan as an unforgivable evildoer. Cameron scowled, but he could not believe it. “What did you say? Ronan actually hit someone?” He was unwilling to believe it. Although Ronan
Philip took out some fine wine, which was worthless to him but priceless to Ronan. Ronan laughed at Philip’s nonchalance and patted his shoulder. The two of them sat down and started drinking. Rabbit joined in the fun and swallowed the wine in big gulps. Although the alcohol content was a bit high for Rabbit, he enjoyed it happily. They quickly felt slightly tipsy. Although they were practitioners, they did not use any techniques to sober up. It was okay to be a little intoxicated as long as it did not affect them too much. It was rare to find a friend who they could click so well with, so it was a blessing to get drunk together. As they drank happily, the aroma of the wine wafted out. Everyone smelled the fragrance and looked for the source of the scent. They quickly found Ronan's residence and scowled. That smell proved that he had to be drinking good wine in there. “How is he worthy of such fine wine?” “Just a whiff of that wine clears my head, so it has to be good s
Although victory was not confirmed, they had to take part. Since the other party said so, they had no choice but to win. At the thought of the other major families, Cameron scowled as he felt the pressure. “I heard that you have a non-human descendant in your family,” the other party said with a smile, but it was uncertain if his intention was to mock Cameron or to find out some information. The Claude family scowled as they instantly figured out who the other party was talking about—Ronan. This person had disgraced the whole family. “We do have someone like that in our family. Back then, one of our youths was restless and impulsive…” Cameron wanted to explain, but the other party interrupted him. The mysterious man smiled with satisfaction at Cameron’s admittance. “If that’s the case, it’s great. Let this person take part in the competition. I’m interested in his strength and want to try it out in person. “Other than your victory, this person has to take part in the comp
By treating Ronan badly, the people would receive some rewards from the higher-ups. After a while, everyone got used to it. Even the wine sold to Ronan was cheap wine that no one wanted. “There’ll be a place for me in the world somehow!” Philip shook his head. These people’s attitude was strange, indeed, but he did not think that they could not find a roof over their heads. Since the Claude family was so arrogant, they could take over their place. Thinking of this, Philip took them back to the Claude family's manor and knocked on the door with a smile on his face. The guards were horrified to see Philip and Ronan again. They did not forget how badly they were beaten earlier. Thus, no one dared to stop them from marching in for fear that they would be beaten again. They could not afford the consequences. The Claude family quickly learned about their appearance. They scowled, their faces turning ashen. “Why are you here again?” “We already told you that they won't be ba
