Philip was supposed to meet Cynthia in a western restaurant. Cynthia, who was here early, was dressed very simply, but her appearance was not inferior to other women because of her good image and poise. Even in just a simple white dress, she was like a lotus flower in the water, attracting the eyes of most men in the restaurant. Cynthia noticed Philip walking in from the door and waved happily with a smile on her face. Philip also waved briefly and walked through the crowd toward Cynthia. He pulled out the chair and sat down. Cynthia grinned and handed him the menu. “This restaurant is newly opened. There are a lot of delicious dishes. You can look through the menu and see if anything interests you.” Philip obliged. He picked up the menu and thought for a long time before he ordered a few dishes casually. “That’s it. I don’t really know what to eat.” After that, Philip finally asked, “Cynthia, why are you looking for me? Is something wrong?” Larson family of Fernvale, his m
Philip shrugged but said nothing. Cynthia continued, “Perhaps everyone in the world thinks that Clarke Group is very rich and holds a capital flow of more than 100 billion, but in Capital City, there are many families better than them.” Philip smiled and said, “Cynthia, why are you saying this to me? I’m just an ordinary guy, not the young master you’re talking about.” This woman was very smart. She had guessed it. Cynthia did not say anything else. Right at this moment... “Cynthia Larson, you’re here too?” Suddenly, a noble and handsome man in the restaurant appeared in front of Cynthia and Philip. He looked at her with a grin. This handsome man wore a suit and looked quite decent. Philip was drinking coffee when he was suddenly disturbed. Naturally, he was a little unhappy. He glanced around casually and found that the other person was looking at Cynthia with desire in his eyes. Philip frowned and glanced at Cynthia. He found that she had already stood up and was
Chad frowned. Impatience was written all over his face. He sneered. “Brother, who the hell are you? I’m talking to Cynthia. Who are you to interrupt us?” “Excuse me, she’s my girlfriend. Is there something wrong with your eyes? Can’t you see she has rejected you? Why are you still here? Are you just looking for a fight?” Philip raised his face slightly. He could not help being amused at Chad’s frozen smile. He seemed to have used this excuse before. The words just came out automatically. Chad frowned and watched as Cynthia leaned against Philip. His hand was still tightly grabbed by Philip. A bout of fury suddenly welled up inside him! He almost exploded in anger, but this was a Western restaurant and he was the general manager of Worsett International Hotel. He naturally had to maintain his composure and display a gentlemanly demeanor. Chad smiled and touched his nose. His expression was changing rapidly. He stood up, glared at Philip, and said, “You’re her boyfriend? Ho
Chad looked at Philip provocatively and sneered. “It looks like you’re unconvinced, but so what? Tonight, Cynthia Larson will be my woman.” Smack! A loud slap resounded throughout the entire restaurant! No one thought that Philip would land such a fierce slap on the opponent’s face! Clean and decisive! Philip jerked his hand away, shrugged, and said, “Didn’t your mother teach you to speak and behave appropriately? Weren’t you taught not to be impertinent and arrogant?” Chad held his red and swollen cheek. He took a long time to react. His face immediately turned somber. He pointed at Philip and shouted, “You dare hit me? Do you know who I am?” “What has that got to do with me?” Philip looked at Chad as if he was an idiot. He was totally unconcerned about this Mr. Fadden. Chad held his face and was so angry that he was about to explode! When had he ever been slapped in public before? The other party was seeking death! “You’re courting death!” Chad roared furiousl
Philip and Cynthia were on the way home. To be more precise, Philip was sending Cynthia home. The latter finally could not stop herself and said apologetically, “Philip, I’m really sorry, I…”Philip immediately shrugged and said nonchalantly, “You don’t have to apologize to me. I understand. You can’t avoid certain business relations.” Since when did the Larson family start to swallow their anger and watch other people’s moods before acting? What position did Cynthia Larson hold in the Larson family? Cynthia lowered her head, fiddled with her fingers, and said, “Chad Fadden is the general manager of Worsett International Hotel. It happens that our hotel is currently collaborating with Worsett, so I’m afraid that rejecting him will affect our cooperation.” Philip nodded and said, “I understand. However, I still want to remind you that sometimes girls have to learn how to protect themselves. That guy obviously has ulterior motives toward you. If you agree to his demands for the
“Brat, you’re very gutsy, huh? You think I’m a joke?” the lead hooligan said viciously. He circled Philip, pulled at his clothes, and said sarcastically, “Looking at your little pale face and weak arms and legs, you probably can’t withstand a beating at all. We just want to have a drink and chat with your girlfriend. We’ll send her back to you tomorrow, how about it?” As soon as this person finished speaking, those guys all laughed and chimed in with a bunch of crude words! At this time, many residents were walking in and out of the apartment, but no one dared to stop them. The other party was obviously gangsters. Furthermore, every single one of them looked and dressed like evil villains too, so most people dared not be too nosy! This night, Gary brought a bunch of men specifically to close in on Cynthia and Philip. He received an order from Mr. Fadden of Worsett International Hotel to take these two people back! Chad Fadden was the general manager of Worsett International H
Countless thoughts flashed through Cynthia’s mind and she became despondent. “Since no one dares to step out, all of you can stay!” As Philip said this, he stepped forward and his aura exploded! The few people could not move under the pressure of Philip's aura, but they were unwilling to sit still and wait for death! “Guys, he’s alone, let’s just do it!” One of the guys shouted and rushed out immediately! However, before he finished his words, Philip had already turned around. With a forceful kick, the man flew out! The man flew several meters away and fell heavily on the sidewalk garden, landing face-first in the dirt! The terrifying power displayed by Philip made them despair. After his lightning-fast kick, everyone was stunned on the spot and took a deep breath! It was horrifying! Could someone actually produce a kick like this? Was he Bruce Lee reborn? This group of gangsters was so scared that they almost forgot what they needed to do at that moment. They s
The atmosphere in the living room was somber. Facing Canon Clarke, Wynn could feel the oppressive aura usually exuded by children from a wealthy family. His aura was quite scary, especially the cool indifference that he inadvertently revealed. The feeling of in-born prestige made her panic. “Who the hell are you guys? What right do you have to hit my daughter? If you want to look for that trash Philip, go look for him! Don’t put up a front here!” Martha mustered up the courage to shout out, mainly because she was also very angry when she saw her daughter getting beaten. Following that, she pointed at Canon and cursed, “You, take your men and get out of my house now! Otherwise, I’ll call the police!” Canon raised his sharp eyebrows, eyes filled with a chill. He sneered coldly. “Call the police? You think that’ll be useful?” Bam! Canon raised his leg and kicked Martha in her stomach. The latter collapsed on the sofa, rolled her eyes, and retched. Her insides were roiling
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
