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
Wynn stood up hurriedly and said coldly, “Mr. Michaels, aren’t you worried that I’ll report you to the chamber of commerce for ganging up with the board of directors to pressure a local business?”“Hehe.” Blake chortled. There was malice in his eyes. “Chamber of commerce? Everyone in the chamber of commerce in Riverdale is from my side! Madam Johnston, if you’re smart, you should sign the contract like a good girl. If not, don’t blame me for turning my back on you!”“You!”Wynn pointed at Blake. She was so mad that she was going to explode.She had never seen such a shameless person before!Philip sighed suddenly and pulled Wynn behind him. He looked at Blake coldly before saying, “Mr. Michaels, what if we don’t agree?”Blake scoffed. At this moment, the door of the room was opened from the outside.Eight bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses entered in a single file. All of them had malice on their faces. One would feel scared looking at their tall and sturdy physique.In t
If Philip was at fault, Lincoln had nothing to say. However, if Hogster was the one who had caused all the trouble, he would not spare them. “I’ll get to the bottom of this. Now, tell me what’s going on with Dennis. Based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't betray the guild for no reason. He must have a reason for doing this!” Neither of them could explain what happened to Dennis. They could only say that humans were fickle. After all, they could not figure it out either. The person at fault would never admit their fault. Alain did not think that he was biased or thought that what he had done was excessive. He simply thought that Dennis looked down on him, which was why he decided to leave. Now that he was gone, Alain could say whatever he wanted, and Dennis could not defend himself. Thinking of this, Alain was very excited. He began to defame Dennis and shifted the attention away from him and his son. Lincoln scowled as he listened. Then, he returned to his room and summ
Alain was helpless. Although he had a lot to say, he could not do anything in front of Lincoln. Lincoln was stronger than him in every aspect, a force to be reckoned with. He was not someone Alain could deal with. Alain looked at Lincoln awkwardly. He wanted to appease his anger but did not know what to say. “You need to explain this to me. Why did Dennis leave? And I want to know why the guild’s reputation has become so bad. Did you do something wrong?”Lincoln heard that Dennis had been expelled and could no longer stay in the guild. Many people supported Dennis, so they were upset with Alain and tried to defame him. Hearing that, Alain knew that someone must have been talking behind his back, but he did not dare to lose his temper. He forced a smile and looked at Lincoln in a flattering manner. Before he could find an excuse, Hogster rushed over excitedly and said to his father, “Father, guess what I did to Philip? Hehe!” Hogster recounted his handiwork smugly without p
It had been years since the grandmaster went into seclusion for practice. He was not concerned about power. He once mentioned that he would not leave his seclusion unless he reached the top. Hence, no one expected to see him. “Grandmaster, you appeared at the right time. We would've been in trouble if you didn't come out!” “That’s right. Everyone is bullying us. Now that you’re out, you can help us.” Everyone complained about their grievances, feeling sorry for themselves. The Hexa Guild was in trouble, and they faced various problems too. All the major guilds were keeping a close eye on the Hexa Guild, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. The Celestial Palace planned to destroy the Hexa Guild instead of letting them off. They could not accept the initial setup, so they decided to erase the Hexa Guild from existence. Hence, the Hexa Guild had been under great pressure, with the members wishing that someone could help them. Unexpectedly, a strong expert appeared.
Ronan was his buddy, and his wife's reputation was at stake. Philip could not stand idly by. He had to help. Jamie was very fast at ordering his people to make the matter public. No one expected another dramatic turn of events. Everyone thought that the young lady of the Celestial Palace was an unchaste woman for making that decision. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Palace found a way to solve the side effects of their technique. All the major guilds were in trepidation. Although the Celestial Palace’s technique was very powerful, the side effects reduced its allure. Now that that problem was solved, everything was different. On top of that, the holy maiden and other members of the guild showed their appearance in public. Regardless of gender, everyone was beautiful without any markings on their faces. After seeing this scene, everyone knew that the Celestial Palace was about to make a comeback. Carlos was very excited and thought that Vanna was a lucky star to bring so many
After reading the letter, Alain trembled in anger, shocked that two of his strongest members would choose to leave the guild at such a critical time. Their departure was no joke. The guild could lose the guild competition at any minute! Dennis and Louis were very strong and could hold down the fort in the competition. With their departure, Alain would have fewer people to count on, and things might end up a mess. He was furious about their abrupt departure. “I need to capture Dennis. How dare he betray us?!” Alain was very upset. As a traitor, Dennis had to be dealt with. The news quickly spread, and many members found out that Dennis had chosen to leave the guild. The other elders also wondered what they should do. They knew that Dennis was a smart man and was good at judging the situation. Choosing to leave was a sign of a change to come. Everyone had their own thoughts and a rough guess about what was going on. Alain's actions not only caused an uproar but also made
A young man about the same age as him was so talented. Could anyone not be jealous? However, Louis was truly not jealous. He just wanted to learn from Philip. If Philip was really that strong, he would obey. Although Louis had a high status in the guild, he was not highly valued. That useless loser was given priority when it came to most of the resources, which made Louis upset. By right, resources should be allocated to talented people, but things were different because Hogster had a guild leader for a father. Thinking of this, Louis smiled at Philip expectantly. If Philip was worth following, he would leave the Hexa Guild without hesitation. “I want to apologize for offending you earlier. I also want to follow you, but I don’t know if I’m good enough. If you won’t consider me, I hope you can give my son a chance. He’s pretty talented.” Dennis was very polite as he apologized to Philip. Philip was surprised and thought that Dennis was quite nice. Philip invited them insi
Dennis and Louis quickly arrived at the door and knocked nervously. Rabbit opened the door this time. He did not expect to see Dennis again. He thought Dennis was here to cause trouble, so he scowled. “Why are you here again, old man? Do you want to cause more trouble for us? You’d better think twice or I’m going to get angry!” Rabbit said fiercely. Rabbit easily crushed them earlier, so they would not forget about their miserable defeat so quickly. Louis was embarrassed to hear that this rabbit had defeated his father. He had always thought that Dennis was very powerful and would not lose to a younger person no matter what. Unexpectedly, Dennis was not only defeated but lost miserably too. Louis keenly perceived that this talking rabbit was Philip’s pet and became excited. If Philip's pet was so powerful, Philip should be better. Thinking of this, he was excited and wanted to see Philip immediately. Rabbit stared at Dennis and Louis, wondering what they were up to. Denni
Celeste was surprised to see that Esther had restored her appearance. She had just seen Esther wearing a veil to cover her ugly face when they first met earlier. “Amazing! You look beautiful all of a sudden,” Celeste praised Esther from the bottom of her heart. Celeste did not know how it happened, but there had to be a reason for it. Esther smiled at Celeste. “Now that I’m beautiful, I can fully focus on taking care of Philip. Don’t worry, I won’t be worse than you.” Hearing that, Celeste was puzzled by Esther’s aggression. While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, an uninvited guest turned up at the door. It was none other than Dennis of the Hexa Guild. Dennis was not alone as he had brought his son along with him. His son was quite talented and always listened to his father's opinions. After all, he knew that he would not be where he was without his father’s guidance, and most of his father’s decisions were correct. “Father, are you sure we should leave the guild
Esther never thought that her curse could be lifted so quickly. More importantly, Esther found that all the negative energy in her body had disappeared. She took off her veil and looked at them with her true appearance. Esther was beautiful by nature, but the nasty technique had impacted her self-esteem. Now that she had regained her appearance, Esther’s confidence returned as well. “Wonderful! This technique is the perfect improved version! With this technique, our members can practice like any normal person without worrying about their appearance. Other guilds can’t kick a fuss over it or try to mess with us again!” Jamie was ecstatic and abruptly remembered a very important question. “By the way, what’s the deal with this technique? Did someone give it to you?” Jamie had to get to the bottom of it. It was very important. He would be uneasy if he did not figure out the situation. “Philip gave it to me. I don't know how he got our technique, but he’s quite good at studying
