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,
Philip was holding a syringe in his hand. Then, he stabbed it into Marcus’ thigh. He said with a cold smirk on his face, “Don’t worry. It’s just anesthetic.”After Marcus heard this, his brain started to buzz. He struggled to roll down to the floor from the operating table. With a loud crash, he fell horribly. He thought he was going to die from the pain.Philip sat on the stool nonchalantly. He crossed his legs, and his hands were on his hips. He looked at Marcus who was crawling to the door with a fake smile on his face.Marcus’ face was pale and his eyes were red. He clutched his chest and crawled toward the door of the operating room slowly. He yelled with all his might, “Doctor! Doctor! Help…”Marcus reached out his pale hand and looked at the door that was locked. He could almost reach it when the anesthetic started taking effect. He felt limp before he lost consciousness. His eyelids were also heavy with sleep.He kept screaming in his heart, ‘Don’t fall asleep! Don’t fall
“You can’t do this! I’ll die!”Marcus yelled, “Hurry, call the doctor! If I die, you won’t be able to live as well!”He did not want to die. He was still young. Plus, he was the second young master of the Quaids and the number one candidate to inherit the entire Quaid family!Marcus could not die with no valid reasons in a small place like Riverdale!Pain!There was excruciating pain in his stomach!Why did the anesthesia stop working? Why?Philip chuckled coldly. He held the bloody scalpel in his hand and traced it from Marcus’ stomach to his heart. He said, “Master Quaid, do you still not understand the situation you’re in?”Philip lifted his head to look at the clock on the wall. He laughed slowly and said, “30 seconds have passed. You have four and a half minutes now. Oh, four minutes and 20 seconds. What are you doing to do? Why is the second young master of the Quaids hesitating? This is your life. You have to think carefully.”When he heard this, Marcus was so scared th
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
Compared to the money they earned at Deadly Arena, the accommodation fee was nothing. Therefore, many people chose to stay in the living quarters provided by Deadly Arena and thought the environment was quite good. The people of Deadly Arena knew about the crisis they were facing. Something felt wrong, so they had to pay attention to it. “Don’t you find the beasts acting strangely this time? They didn’t seem interested in our things but simply left after giving us a warning.” “Yeah, I think something is wrong too. There must be a secret behind it. We have to figure it out.” The people in charge of Deadly Arena gathered for a meeting over this major incident. Yule looked at everyone with disdain as if he thought they were worried over nothing. “The beasts obviously recognized our strength, so they backed away. Stop worrying over nothing.” Yule had always thought highly of himself and looked down on everything. Hearing this, everyone scowled and wished they could teach Yule
“Foxy was the one controlling the beast stampede earlier. The beasts would've razed this place to the ground if I hadn't stopped them in time.” Philip shook his head helplessly. The fence around Deadly Arena had been flattened during the stampede, enough to prove how terrible the earlier battle was. “But of course!” Foxy nodded smugly. The people here would probably be in bad shape if she had not stopped the attack in time. Philip smiled and shook his head. “This young lady is a force to be reckoned with. She simply had to blow a flute to control all the beasts.""I'm sure that all the guilds will try every means to capture Foxy if they find out about her ability,” Lyle said, envious of her ability. Aslan sighed awkwardly. As a monster beast, he had no ability in other areas at all. He could only use his brawn to intimidate others. As if he felt the difference in strength, Aslan lowered his head and was too embarrassed to say another word. Foxy chatted with everyone happil
Aslan was surprised to see Philip bringing a petite and beautiful woman back all of a sudden. “Hey, Philip, where did you pick up such a beautiful woman? I'm so envious.” “You sure have luck with women, Philip. You picked up such a beautiful woman just by going out. It’d be great if I have such luck too.” Aslan and Lyle started teasing Philip, annoying him so much that he almost knocked them out. “Cut the crap. Her name is Foxy, and she's our new teammate. Come with me, everyone. We need to find a safe place to discuss our next plans.” Philip quickly took everyone away. He looked very excited, obviously looking forward to his next plan. Everyone nodded excitedly at Philip’s appearance. They were also curious, wondering what Philip was going to do. Since the beasts had retreated, everyone returned to the lounge area for a break without further ado. Deadly Arena would also be closed for the day and reopen the next day. The inn Philip chose for them was quite luxurious, an
Since their master was dead, these subordinates had to approach the people of Deadly Arena for help. They would be bullied without a master to take charge. They finally found a chance to join a strong employer. Now that he was dead, everyone was at a loss for what to do. “What? He’s dead? This is too much. Find out who those people are. I don’t care which force they belong to or who they have behind them, we need to wipe them out!” This person was Amos, the second in command of Deadly Arena. He knew how to deal with such provocation. “These people are too bold to touch a member of my family. Everyone knows that our children are powerful and undefeatable on this battlefield.” The second in command was annoyed and not in the mood to deal with this incident. His anger over this matter added to his initial agitation. His subordinates were surprised to see his irritation. “What’s wrong, Amos? Why are you so upset? Are the beasts up to something again?” As the second-in-comma
On the battlefield, Aslan was puzzled by the beasts’ sudden retreat. “Maybe the beasts are scared shitless by our strong combat power and decided to give up.” “You got that right. I killed several of them at once and looked really cool.” “But I have a feeling that the beasts this year are much stronger and have greater potential.” Everyone spoke excitedly. The people who killed many beasts had returned for their rewards. They thought highly of the rewards and could not wait to take all the treasures of Deadly Arena.… “Can you control the beasts from a distance?” Philip asked curiously. Foxy nodded. “I can control these beasts no matter where I am. It’s my individual talent.” Since everything went as planned, Philip pondered what to do next. “You should come with me. I’ll tell you about my next plan in detail.” Philip decided to bring Foxy into Deadly Arena. Foxy nodded seriously. She trusted Philip very much and never doubted him at all. He felt a little embarra
