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
The corner of Philip’s eyes twitched. He made a fist with his right hand and punched the corner of the eye of the man who was charging toward him!Smack!There was a muffled sound!Under the strong impact, the man felt like his head was being struck by a hammer!His head was buzzing, and the whites of his eyes were quickly filled with blood!The man tilted his head and collapsed stiffly. It was unknown whether he was still alive or not.Then, Philip snatched a dagger from that person using that opportunity.Woosh!Philip lifted his right hand and the dagger made a whooshing sound as it was raised through the air.In the next second, another man who attacked Philip from behind felt a sharp pain in his raised arm.In an instant, that man’s entire arm was penetrated by some huge inertia!Blood started spraying out!That man let out a scream of pain. His whole arm was bloody and it looked extremely gory.At the same time, another man rushed toward Philip and threw his fist at
Wynn looked at Philip with shining eyes. At this moment, she noticed that her husband was looking extremely dazzling and bright.He was like a knight in the dark, always at her side protecting her.He would appear at any moment and give her the most secure feeling.If her husband was a man like this, then why should she bother with his identity?Wynn’s eyebrows were curved like crescent moons. She smiled and said, “Okay, I'll wait for you to tell me.”Philip touched Wynn's fair and delicate cheeks. Then, he said, “When I solve the matter in front of me, I’ll tell you everything. Then, I’ll take you home.”Right.Philip was ready to take Wynn and Mila home back to the Clarke Family.Philip was feeling very agitated tonight.The arrogance of the Quaid family and the uninterrupted manipulation of the Michaels were making Philip sick to the stomach.The Michaels had Giada backing them up, and that was why they were so fearless.Also, the woman they just met, Margot Pearson, was
Yale said a lot of tempting conditions in one single breath. Everything he said was extremely tempting, but Philip was not swayed at all.Philip grabbed his chin and shook his head. With a playful smile on his face, he pointed at Yale and said, “You, slap him. Don't stop unless I say so!”Boom!Blake was completely stunned!Philip’s request was beyond weird. He wanted Yale to slap Blake!Yale furrowed his eyebrows and looked at Blake who was kneeling beside him. He saw fear in his eyes.“Philip, I’ll strangle you to death!”Blake quickly got up from the floor and rushed over to strangle Philip!As a result, Philip raised his hand and slapped Blake loudly. Blake was distracted after being slapped like that.“Are you slapping him or not?”Philip stared at Yale coldly and said, “If you don’t slap him, I’ll slap you!”When Yale heard these words, he decided to forgo his relationship with Blake. He got up and slapped Blake's aged face with a loud slap.The sound of his slap was
Carlos thought Philip would do something to him, but Philip simply handed him something he took out of his pocket. “Try practicing this technique.” After Philip handed him the item, he stared at Carlos, waiting for the result. Carlos was relieved to hear it. He had thought Philip was going to do something to him, but it turned out that Philip simply wanted Carlos to try a technique out. Carlos smiled and shook his head. “We can’t practice other techniques different from our own unless someone can make improvements to our existing technique. Only then do we have the chance to learn something new. But do you know how difficult it is to improve a technique?” Carlos smiled helplessly. Their people had been trying to improve their technique forever. After all, the side effects of the technique were simply annoying, but it was easier said than done. Their predecessors had been studying it for years but to no avail. They had no choice but to give up. Now, only one elder was resp
“Since she’s one of your people, she can stay, but don’t try to do anything,” Philip said. Philip glanced at the holy maiden. Before he could say anything else, something appeared in his mind. It was the technique she practiced. Philip had no idea what happened. He had merely glanced at her when her technique appeared in his mind. Although it was weird, Philip did not think it was a bad thing. Instead, he was happy. He knew that it was a special ability. Thinking of this, Philip was in a good mood. He went back to his room after excusing himself. He wanted to study the technique carefully. It would be best if he could discover something. The holy maiden watched indignantly as Philip left. Jamie knew that Celeste’s biggest advantage was her looks. She was so beautiful that the holy maiden felt the pressure. “Stay here with peace of mind and treat it as your own home. No need for formalities,” Celeste said to them with a smile as if she were the mistress of the house. Jam
Philip waved his hand. That was not what he meant. At this time, Celeste walked out of her room. She had fallen in love with cooking and always immersed herself in the kitchen, figuring out different recipes. In the past, Celeste lived alone in the gloomy forest without freedom or friends. After meeting Philip, she became more vibrant. Celeste would feel a sense of achievement whenever Philip ate the food she cooked. Seeing her, Philip greeted Celeste and introduced the visitors to her. “I don’t need a maid. I already have someone to take care of the household chores. Thank you for your kindness,” Philip said with a smile. Celeste had been doing a good job, so Philip did not think he needed another woman to take care of him. The more women around, the more trouble there would be. The holy maiden froze in surprise at the sight of such a beautiful woman around Philip. Although she was not ugly, she had to live with this ugly appearance until her marriage because of that nas
“That’s enough. Stop talking about me. You might as well think about how to deal with Hogster and the others. The Hexa Guild will definitely come after you.” Philip greeted Jamie calmly without taking the incident seriously at all. Seeing his reaction, Jamie thought that Philip was more and more unfathomable. The Hexa Guild was making a big fuss over this case. Many guilds had accepted the Hexa Guild’s gifts and now stood in opposition to the Celestial Palace. Although this matter had nothing to do with those guilds at all, they accepted the Hexa Guild's gifts in exchange for hyping the news up. It would be best if the two guilds fought. Maybe they could take advantage of the situation in the process! The other major guilds were waiting to watch the excitement too. They hoped that the Celestial Palace would be affected by this incident and it would maybe result in them losing the guild competition. Philip was also quite interested in the guild competition but was more curious
“Vanna mentioned that you enjoy drinking, so I prepared some fine wine for you.” Ronan said it so smoothly that he must have practiced it. Jamie was surprised to see Ronan taking a bottle of wine from his pocket, not at the wine itself. It proved that Ronan had a storage space. Thinking of this, Jamie felt better. Since Ronan had a storage space, he had to have a strong backing. Carlos had determined from various aspects that Ronan was a man with good character. In that case, Jamie had nothing more to worry about, and he could feel at ease again. “We’re about to hold a competition between the guilds. You can join us if you’re interested. Since you’re already part of us, you should do your best. If you can win the competition, I’ll consider officially acknowledging your identity.” Jamie seemed like a gentle and easygoing person. Ronan was excited by his words. He never dreamed that he would have the opportunity to be acknowledged. Ronan thought that he was unworthy of Vann
Jamie was startled. He never thought that someone would speak to him in this manner. With his high and mighty status, everyone spoke to him politely except Carlos. He was not used to someone treating him so frivolously. “I'm here to look for someone,” Jamie said with a smile. The rabbit meant no harm, so Jamie did not have to act like a domineering guild leader. Rabbit stepped aside. “Of course, I know you’re here to look for someone. There’s no other reason to be here otherwise. It's just a matter of whether you can see them.” Rabbit hopped away. He just wanted to see if it was a good or bad guy. After all, troublemakers would be taught a good lesson. Carlos walked out calmly with a teacup. He had fallen for the taste of tea. Philip’s tea was simply perfect. He would feel a fluctuation in his strength after drinking it. He was ecstatic at the discovery and was unwilling to return to the guild now. Taking a sip, he realized that someone familiar was standing at the door and
“I’m surprised that the Celestial Palace would be so shameless. Since they refuse to do things my way, they shouldn't blame me for doing this.” Alain decided to make good use of this incident to guilt-trip the Celestial Palace. He told his people to spread the news of the Celestial Palace to the public. All of a sudden, everyone knew that the young lady of the Celestial Palace had married another man without consent. The incident caused an uproar, and everyone was talking about it. It was one of the most explosive pieces of news in the world of practitioners. The Celestial Palace was a large guild that valued the personal conduct of their guild members. A member would be punished for doing such a thing, but their young lady had rebelliously chosen to be with a man of unknown origins. The news was all hyped up, and everyone waited to watch the excitement. Of course, the people of the Celestial Palace heard the news too. The guild leader scowled upon receiving it. He did not th
Sure enough, Alain was very angry. He stared at Dennis in disbelief, surprised at his defeat. “How did you end up losing? Is he really as strong as the rumors said? I refuse to believe that a little brat can bring you any harm!" Alain subconsciously felt that Dennis had not done his best. Alain was sure that Dennis was being overdramatic. Dennis had always been a powerful god of war. This unexpected outcome was simply impossible. Thus, he felt that Dennis had not done his best to fulfill his duty. “Although I only exchanged one move with that young man, I could easily tell his level. I could feel that he’s more talented than Hogster. I believe it’ll be a great help for us if we can take him under our wing.” Dennis was doing it for the benefit of the guild. It would be an advantage to the guild if they could get Ronan. However, his words infuriated Alain instead. He was angry at Dennis’ stupid suggestion. “Ronan is clearly not the same as us. No matter how strong he is, he
Although Dennis could not be bothered with Hogster, he had to fight for the chance to recruit Ronan. However, Ronan shook his head. “I already have Philip, so you can forget about it. So, do you still want to fight? I don't mind showing you my strength.” Ronan had simply executed a casual move just now, so it could not be considered a full-blown display of his powers. If Dennis still wanted to fight, he would oblige. Dennis shook his head. He could clearly tell that he was no match for Ronan. Although he wanted to teach Ronan a lesson, he would only end up tragically if he went ahead with it. He did not doubt that Ronan could easily crush him. “Please excuse our intrusion today.” Dennis bowed to Ronan and left without another word. He did not want to stay in this unpleasant place any longer. He was the third elder, a person of high status. Not to mention suffering an easy defeat, but he also had to apologize to the person who defeated him, which was simply woeful. The perso
