The scantily-dressed Vivi was quite animated. “I finally met you in person! You’re pretty good-looking, hehe.”Philip was exasperated, his face twitching. “We just happen to have the same name. I’m nowhere near that impressive.”Well, f*ck!Philip had forgotten all about that.Chase Fisher, huh?From the Dragonstone Mountain Race Course back then, huh…Vivi pouted. “So you’re not him? Aww, what a bummer.”Philip was rather flabbergasted. “Aren’t you worried I’ll do something to you, gorgeous?”“Nah, what’s the point of worrying? Now that I’ve seen what you’re capable of, it’s not like I can stop you if you do want to do anything to me.”Vivi said with a shrug, as though she was truly not worried about Philip at all.The black car behind them kept chasing Vivi’s car, but they just could not close the distance, perhaps due to the undeniable difference in the two cars’ specs!“F*cker! Is he a motherf*cking superman? How did he worm in there?”The driver of the black car could
Vivi slammed the accelerator and said angrily, “You jerk!”The men in the black car behind them did not expect Philip to pull that either, but it was too late by the time they tried to stop!More than ten armed cops rushed out of the station and surrounded both cars!Vivi pouted and crossed her arms in front of her chest, getting out of her car in a huff. She made a call and looked in the direction Philip had disappeared into, frowning as she muttered, “Just you wait, I’ll definitely find you!”The three would-be assassins were in much worse shape. They were dragged out of the car and pinned onto the ground, babbling in Thai.As for Philip, he managed to shake them all off and saunter back to the villa, whistling away.…At the same time, in a fancy presidential suite somewhere in Capital City…“Damn it! Those three are useless! They couldn’t even capture one man!”Marcus Quaid threw a fit, his expression stormy as he stood before the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked at the
Houston stood behind Blake, watching as the cruise gradually entered the port. “Why are you so nervous, Dad? He’s just a young master from the Quaid family, right? Do you have to be so scared? It’s not like we can’t live without their help.“Don’t forget, we have an even more powerful patron!”They had the Wallises from Golden City!Now, that was a powerful empire!Houston sounded quite miffed. He had only gotten beaten up because he tried to defend Marcus last time. At first, he thought that Marcus must surely be capable, since he was the young master of the Quaids and all, but after what happened last time, he realized that he had been mistaken.The Quaids from Capital City really were not all that. Their reputation must have been exaggerated.After all, they did not even dare to do anything to that trash, Philip.He had waited for so long, but the Quaids did not do a thing.So much for having four generals in one family!They were probably bluffing.That Marcus Quaid was e
Marcus stepped out of the Lincoln limo and tugged at his suit, looking up at the skyscraper in front of him. There was a cold smile on his lips.Behind him stood Len, Blake, Houston and the others.The security guards at Beacon hurriedly approached them with a bow when they saw this line-up.Blake invited Marcus into Beacon’s building with a gentlemanly bow, as though he truly owned the place.As for the young beautiful girls at the reception, when they saw that the visitors were Mr. Blake Michaels, the vice-chairman, and another extremely eye-catching young man, their first instinct was naturally to contact the chairwoman’s secretary.Soon enough, the news that Blake was here with a mysterious young man spread all throughout Beacon.Philip was in a good mood today. He was chatting idly with the other members of the marketing department, watching live streams with Julia Jones and the others as they snacked and gossiped. Just then, they saw Nina and a few others run out of the doo
“Madam Johnston, I came here personally. Don’t you think that means I represent the Quaids when I speak? Efficiency is most important these days, and a partnership will be a win-win situation. I’m sure you can read the trends, Mada, Johnston. No one in the entire Riverdale can compete with my family. If I say that Beacon can enter the top ten with us, I mean it. If I say that Beacon can enter the Capital City market, then you can. I hope you understand what I’m getting at, Madam Johnston.”Arrogantly, Marcus stood up and put his hands in his pockets, walking toward the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked out at the entirety of Riverdale and spoke with utmost certainty. “Our family has the funds and resources. We’re here today not only to discuss a deal with Beacon, but also with Everlast Glory, Starlight, and United International.”Marcus turned to look at Wynn, smiling confidently. “Beacon is merely my first stop here. You won’t disappoint me, will you? Madam Johnston?”Wynn frown
Marcus stood up and held his hands behind his back, telling the old man Len next to him, “Uncle Len, take her away.”Len nodded slightly. Wynn saw the old man take one step after another toward her, the pressure rolling off him in dangerous waves!“Sorry, girl.”With that, Len reached his hand out and grabbed Wynn!Just then, the door to the chairperson’s office flew open. Philip stumbled in, smiling sheepishly. “You asked for me, Madam Johnston?”They were at work, after all. He should not call her honey.Everyone in the office froze and stared at Philip, who was standing at the door.Some of the gazes were enraged, others suspicious, nervous, grateful, confused…As for Philip, he just walked in obediently and closed the door behind him.“Um, Madam Johnston, what’s happening here?”Philip had been standing outside for a long time now. He came in and feigned ignorance, though.“Philip Clarke! Well, well, you saved me the trouble of going to you.”The embers of rage in Mar
Philip shrugged and said, “I don’t know, but what I do know is that I beat someone up pretty badly a while ago, and then I warned him that if he ever came to Riverdale again, or if he ever tried to get back at Beacon, I would make him suffer even worse!”Marcus flipped out, roaring, “Famous last words! Uncle Len, show him what happens to people who defy our family! Make him regret it!”The old man Len stepped forth, his eyes gleaming. With every breath, his aura seemed to expand to the size of a mountain as he pounced at Philip!Len made his move. He lifted his hand and lashed out a punch that surged toward Philip’s chest like a tsunami!Marcus chortled ruthlessly. To him, Philip was already as good as dead!\Anyone who opposed him was dancing with the devil!He could already imagine how that b*stard would soon be crawling on the ground and begging him for mercy, wailing his eyes out.Blake was secretly pleased as well. He did not know how strong Len truly was, but he knew that
Wynn suddenly remembered the scene she had witnessed at Cirrus Villa back then. Then there was the armed forces Uncle Tim came with, as well as the recent incident at First Palace.It seemed that Philip’s family was not just the owners of a small business group.“You’ll earn enough for both of us, you say?”Philip said with a chuckle, “Don’t worry, honey. If it really can’t work out, just tell me. I think that friend of mine can help.”His wife was pretty darn cute.Wynn nodded. “Alright, I got it. You can leave now.”Philip looked at Wynn’s tall and dignified back. She looked quite helpless right now. He left the office and walked back to the marketing department, his thoughts weighing heavy on his mind.Wynn was a strong independent woman with a great deal of pride. She was not willing to go running to him for help every time.That was why he did not know how long he could keep up this lie.His friend, huh?‘Honey, that friend is none other than your dear old husband.’As
