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
Philip frowned and looked at Nina who was standing behind Margot. Her face was icy. The naiveness and cuteness she once had were nonexistent.Indeed, Nina was problematic.“Are you looking for me?”Philip averted his eyes and asked Margot.This was an extremely dangerous woman.That was Philip’s first thought.“Mr. Clarke, I’m here to make a deal with you.”Margot smiled, and her eyes were like two crescent moons. Her voice was also soft when she spoke.“Until this day, no one dares to make deals with me,” Philip answered calmly. At this moment, he was enveloped by an imposing aura. The air around him was cold and he did not look like a spineless bum at all.“It’s not too late if you decide to make a decision after you hear my deal, Mr. Clarke.”Margot laughed. She sashayed forward to him.Woosh!A figure appeared in front of Philip immediately.Rick had a triangular bayonet in his hand. He was pressing it against Margot’s neck and his eyes were cold. One could not tell wh
The second young master of the Quaid family was hurt.Philip was so reckless.Riverdale would not be peaceful anymore.Back to Philip. After he got out of the hospital, he said coldly, “Investigate her. Also, any updates on the investigation on Hull Clan?”Rick followed behind Philip, looking as sluggish as ever. He said, “We can’t do anything about Hull Clan for the moment. That clan is a tricky one. They have branches all over the important cities in the country. The head of the clan is the Hull Organization. With the restraining order on you, we can’t do anything to them, Young Master.”Philip frowned. Things were getting complicated now.As per Rick’s explanation, if Juan was really the one behind this, then he would be able to exploit the Hull Clan, so was the Hull Organization involved in this as well?Philip would not allow any dangers to be around him.Especially now that he had a restraining order on him. He could not do a lot of things.He wondered how George was doi
Clank!Cynthia shuddered. She turned around and looked at Philip in disbelief.How did he know?“Who are you?”Cynthia’s expression changed. She looked at Philip cautiously.Philip chuckled and scratched his head. “I heard Melody and the gang saying that you’re from the Larsons in Fernvale. Are they powerful?”Cynthia frowned and turned around. She replied coldly, “You shouldn’t ask about this. I hope you can shape up.”After she said that, Cynthia walked away.Philip shrugged and walked into the elevator.Inside Room 8429, the atmosphere was tense. Wynn’s face was red and she looked mad. It was obvious that she was just in a fight. Blake and two of his subordinates sat opposite her with a female secretary. They looked like they were forcing Wynn to submit to them.“I won’t agree to this!”Wynn said coldly.Blake chuckled dryly and said profoundly, “Madam Johnston, I hope you understand now that Beacon has crossed the Quaids in Capital City. It’s impossible for you to stay
With a faint smile on Blake’s aged face, he asked, "Philip, I’ve heard about you a long time ago. You’re just a small employee of Beacon. Can you even negotiate with me on behalf of Beacon?"Philip crossed his arms and sat down while crossing his legs. He had an arrogant expression on his face as he asked, "Why not?"Blake frowned slightly. He looked at Wynn who was sitting beside Philip. Then, Wynn’s expression changed flawlessly as she said, "If you want to talk, you can talk to him, Mr. Michaels. He’s responsible for all matters related to Beacon."Philip turned his head, blinked, and gave Wynn a big thumbs-up. His wife was able to adapt very quickly.Upon hearing these words, Blake’s face sank. He did not understand what they were trying to do. However, he still smiled faintly and said, "Okay, let me talk to Mr. Clarke then."“Alright, what do you want to talk about, Mr. Michaels?”Philip squinted his eyes and smiled.“You should know that the person you beat up tonight is t
Everyone was surprised by the appearance of a talking rabbit, and it was very expressive too. Someone who did not know the situation would think that it was a human! On the way here, they heard some rumors about this rabbit having an amazing storage space. It sounded spectacular, but no one believed it. After all, even people of their status could not get a storage space. How could a mere rabbit own such a legendary treasure? Hence, everyone was surprised to see Rabbit for themselves. “Sir, is that the mysterious and powerful rabbit that was rumored outside? Why don’t we catch it and see if we can find something about it? Even if there’s nothing special about that rabbit, it’s fun to keep a talking rabbit around!” a lapdog said excitedly, clearly very curious about this talking rabbit. “You’re right. Who can refuse a talking rabbit? It’s fun to keep it as entertainment. If I use it to pick up women, I believe more women will fall in love with me!” Hogster was very excited and
Although Carlos was not that concerned about appearance, he was not fond of the idea of Vanna being together with an ugly man either. He wanted Vanna to find bliss too. Hogster was angry at Celeste’s provocation and shocked that someone would turn him down. He had to say that some secular women were ignorant and blind. In his opinion, she ignored him simply because she did not know how powerful he was. Only the women in the guild were smart enough to please him. “Carlos, since I’m here, let’s have a good chat. I plan to take Vanna away!” Hogster looked at Carlos with confidence. Although Carlos was someone he couldn't afford to offend, Hogster had his pride too. As the heir to his guild, his status was noble. Carlos sneered at his arrogance. Hogster expected to take Vanna away with just one remark. He really thought highly of himself. Carlos’ mission was to protect Vanna. He was not concerned about anything else. “Do you think just anyone can take the young heiress of Cel
Ronan frowned when someone kicked the door open. Carlos and his men woke up from their drunken stupor as well and looked around solemnly. In general, practitioners would not get drunk after drinking, but they had not used their energy to neutralize the alcohol earlier. Now that something was happening, they could not remain intoxicated. Everyone stood on guard, wondering what happened. They saw a man kicking the door open. After the man kicked the door open, he appeared in front of everyone smugly. Everyone felt disgusted to see his smug look and was surprised by his ugly appearance. Philip frowned at this person. He was sure that he did not know this guy, but seeing his smug look, he should be the ugly Hogster that everyone was talking about. Carlos had mentioned earlier that Hogster's ugly appearance was so distinct that anyone could recognize him at a glance. He had a very short figure and a ridiculous proportion, like a dwarf with no legs! Philip recognized him at a gla
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you crying?” Hogster picked up the kid angrily. Hogster was never a patient man, so he was even more annoyed by the kid’s defiance. He wanted to teach the kid a lesson for messing with him. “Stop crying. I want to ask you something. If you answer me properly, I’ll leave you alone.” Hogster smacked the kid, leaving him in a daze. The kid had never encountered such a situation before and simply sobbed. “Have you heard anything about an ugly woman? She was supposed to be the bride of the Cohen family, but the marriage was canceled at the last minute.” Hogster glared at the sobbing child in exasperation but he had to ask his questions patiently. After all, the kid looked the easiest to bully among everyone around. The child stopped crying and nodded after hearing him. “Someone took the ugly woman away. They're staying in the small house over there!” He was afraid that Hogster would hit him again, so he blurted everything he knew. The kid always hun
If the Celestial Palace could help them groom some people or lend them some experts, they might stand a chance in the competition. Seeing that time was running out, Hogster could not wait to solve the problem. Things would become difficult if he failed to marry Vanna. Hogster searched for Vanna’s whereabouts with his men. He was very anxious and wanted to find Vanna immediately. “Didn’t you say that the woman is here? Why is there no sign of her?” Hogster smacked his subordinate’s head in anger. The subordinate who got hit was shocked by his sudden attack, but at the thought of Hogster’s temper, he had no choice but to put up with it. As a pampered young heir, it was normal for Hogster to have a bad temper. His subordinates could do nothing but wallow in silence. “As far as we know, she’s nearby, but no one knows her exact location. These people don’t have a permanent residence, so finding her is more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack,” his men said nervously. T
Vanna was relieved. “That’s great. I’m surprised that my father is so sensible about this. If he dares to send someone to deal with you, I’ll make sure he doesn’t have an easy time either!” Vanna said in a huff. Vanna was angry at the thought of her father’s stubborn streak. “By the way, Hogster may cause trouble for you. I can see that your boss is very powerful. At worst, you can ask your boss to help you out. Not just anyone can take care of this.” Carlos knew how strong Ronan was, but he would be facing a guild. He did not think Ronan could win the fight. Fighting the guild would be the worst option. He hoped that Ronan could think about it carefully without being too conceited. “I think your boss is powerful enough to handle it easily. It’ll be difficult for you to deal with it single-handedly. “Hogster and his guild are very vindictive. You’ll be in trouble if he finds out that you stole his prey. Although the Celestial Palace can help you in certain areas, you'll hav
“Here, let’s eat and drink to our hearts' content. Don’t bother with formalities. Just treat this as your own home!” Ronan enthusiastically poured wine for the guards, who were flattered by his gesture. They knew that Vanna had settled down with this man. He could be considered their boss too, so no one dared to accept the wine he poured personally. Ronan laughed at their reaction and knew that his plan had worked.…. While they marveled at the wine, the guild that had previously asked for Vanna’s hand in marriage received the news. This guild was strong enough to enter into a political marriage with the Celestial Palace, but it was no better than the Celestial Palace. They just wanted to use this opportunity to join forces with the Celestial Palace to become stronger. Unexpectedly, Vanna rejected the marriage and ran away without showing up at all. “Damn it, that woman will turn 20 soon. What will happen if she doesn’t restore her appearance in time? I don't want to marry a
Carlos was so fast that he was back before Ronan knew it. Ronan was nervous when he saw Carlos standing at the door again. “We need to wait for the guild leader to decide what to do. For now, I’m here to protect Vanna. I may need to stay here for the time being. I hope you don't mind.” Carlos was very polite and did not annoy anyone. Hearing that, Philip nodded and made arrangements for the guards to stay. With two vacant rooms left, they had to squeeze a bit. The other party did not make things difficult for them, which meant there was room for negotiation, so they could relax a little. Although Ronan was very nervous, Philip thought they had a chance. “Let’s have a good meal tonight.” Ronan looked at the people squeezed into two rooms, his mouth twitching. Celeste and Darius had taken on the task of cooking, and their food was to die for. “Sure!” Carlos agreed without hesitation, hoping that Ronan would serve more of that wine because he did not have his fill at the g
As Carlos drank the wine decisively, the guild leader looked at him expectantly. If not for his dignity, he would have tasted the wine already. Carlos took a sip of wine and closed his eyes to savor it in delight. “In my opinion, I don’t think you should take the wine. Just let me take care of it for you!” Carlos could not help teasing him. Carlos and the guild leader were more like brothers, so their interaction was not that formal. The guild leader smiled helplessly, picked up the glass, and drank the wine in one gulp. “This wine…” He was suddenly at a loss for how to describe the beauty of the wine. It felt as if this wine was only fit for heaven, too good for this world. The two took one sip after another until the guild leader wanted to keep the wine away. “Sir, don't be so stingy. There’s still a little bit of wine left. Let's just finish it!” Not just anyone could take this wine. Even a strong practitioner would feel close to bursting after drinking so much. “Get
