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
Swoosh!The car door slammed to a close, and it drove away in an instant!When Philip first laid eyes on the black car, he already knew that it was dangerous. However, he was five or six meters away from Wynn at the time!The car also blocked his view, so he had no idea what was happening there!“Philip, save me!”Wynn cried out with all her strength the second before she was pulled into the car!She knew that Philip was the only one who could save her!Philip was the person she trusted the most in the world right now, the man who could give her a sense of security unlike anyone else!Philip’s eyes gleamed. He never expected anyone to commit such a crime like this in the middle of broad daylight!He barely even had time to think. When he saw that car zooming away, he made a run straight at it, sprinting at it like an Olympic runner.However, Philip could not get far before a few motorcycles came crashing right into him!They were totally aiming to kill!They moved at at lea
“It’s your honor that our family has taken a fancy to you. Stop resisting. Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? You must be trying to gain more benefits. As long as you agree to this marriage, I promise that you’ll lead a good life, much better than what you have now!” Lazlo looked at Celeste condescendingly, seeing her as a gold digger. “You’re sick.” Celeste was dumbfounded. Celeste pulled Philip and wanted to leave, but Lazlo had no intention of letting them go. He had finally found a beautiful woman to solve the problem for him. How could he let her go? He had looked around earlier but had not seen anyone as beautiful as Celeste. It would be a privilege to bring a beautiful woman like Celeste out. If Celeste was willing to cooperate, he could hold his head high in front of many people. Thinking of this, he summoned the family's guards. “Hurry up and capture them. Even if you refuse, you have to do it!” Lazlo laughed at this point. “Young lady, you'd better li
Philip winked at Ronan, signaling him to wait while he went in with Celeste to see what was going on. “In that case, my brother and I will see what’s going on,” Celeste said with a sigh. She just wanted to watch the fun. Why was she involved all of a sudden? Philip and Celeste walked in, and Lazlo was surprised to see someone else. However, a look of realization crossed his face after his servant introduced Philip’s identity. “Yes, I was too hasty about this. We should discuss this matter with the family.” He quickly invited everyone inside. After taking a closer look at Celeste's appearance, he nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, this woman was very beautiful and perfect from every angle. She was the best choice for his son. To be frank, even Lazlo was attracted to her. “My son is getting married today, but his bride is very ugly, so I want to use you in place of the bride. After this, you can become my son's concubine,” Lazlo said condescendingly as if Celeste should
At this moment, Celeste looked no different from normal people, and her face was more stunning, capturing everyone’s attention with one glance. Lazlo was excited to see her and knew that she was the woman he had been looking for. Indeed, the bride was very ugly and had a strange appearance. He would never have agreed to the marriage if the woman had not saved his son's life. His son had been seriously ill and bedridden for a long time, almost on the verge of dying. To save his son, he promised that anyone who could save his son could make a request. This woman saved his son and requested to marry into the Cohen family. Although reluctant, big families attached great importance to promises. If they went against their conscience and broke the promise, it would greatly impact their subsequent practice. Hence, Lazlo had no choice but to agree to their marriage. However, to prevent people from talking behind their backs, he appointed some dedicated maids to take care of the ugly
Ronan grabbed the others in fright so that they could stay together. Ronan was a strong guy, after all. With his protection, the others would not be separated by the crowd. Philip looked at this scene and asked the onlookers curiously, “What’s going on? What’s the occasion? Is it a celebration?” Philip had a smile on his face. He thought the atmosphere was quite interesting as if someone was having a celebration. “Don’t you know? It’s the wedding day of the young heir of the Cohen family. I heard that they’ll be serving free spiritual beast meat during the feast. Whether it’s true or not, we want to join the fun. It’s great if the news is true.” “Young man, you must be a visitor from out of town. You’re in luck!” Everyone smiled and walked along excitedly, hoping to spread happiness. Since it was a happy occasion, Philip took the others to join in the fun. As expected, it was very crowded, and everyone sat happily while waiting for the feast to begin. They looked at a lux
Arachne glared at the address Philip left behind. “Since he wants to meet the person behind the scenes, let him! That person is our king!” They worshipped their so-called savior very much. Sadie left without a word. She knew her limits. She would only die if she continued to fight Philip. Since she was no match for Philip, she had to find a way to become stronger. Philip would be doomed once she was strong enough. She was angry when she thought about being humiliated by Philip today. Philip did not care about them at all. He just wanted to see the person behind the scenes. Someone who could create that amazing gene seal had to be an extraordinary person. He would have to tread carefully.… Meanwhile, Raja was in trouble. Raja had left very hastily as his territory was under attack. The other party probably wanted to take his territory for themselves. The other party was a large and powerful race with vicious means. They somehow received news about his departure, so the
Although their strength had improved significantly, their opponent was Ronan, a talented expert. He was not someone they could mess with. These people were easily crushed. Before they could call for help, they were sent crashing into the walls and unable to move. Ronan was surprised at his strength. Philip had given him a lot of wine recently, which had greatly improved his strength. Combined with his innate talents, Ronan was almost invincible by now. Philip looked at him with satisfaction, pleased with his achievements. “Not bad. You did very well, but some of your moves are still quite sloppy. I'll give you a set of techniques later. Once you master it, you can crush these people easily with your bare hands,” Philip commented like a judge. Arachne and the others were knocked to the ground, horrified at Ronan’s strength. Sadie was very indignant about her defeat. They had resorted to some evil methods to improve their strength. How did they end up so miserably? “It lo
“Are you one of my kind?” The man was very excited to see one of his kind. Judging from the situation, the other party probably saved him. “Yes. I predicted that you’d appear at this place, so I asked someone to rescue you. You’re quite unlucky,” Celeste said awkwardly, feeling sorry for his bad luck. It was tragic to think that such a noble and mysterious race ended up as a slave. “They don't know my identity. They just think I look good. Thanks to them, I’ve done quite well with this face.” He laughed at himself at this point. Ronan felt sorry for the man at the sight of his pitiful state. He had been in the same plight back then—without any status and rejected wherever he went. He understood this misery better than anyone else. After getting to know each other, Philip took them away through the side door. The gentle and refined man was Darius. Philip gave him some pills to heal him so that he would not look so haggard. When they walked out, they bumped into Arachne
“We accept the deal. I declare that the man is yours!” The man was a slave who belonged to the organizers, so these auctioneers could easily decide his fate. At this time, a young man stepped forward and said something to the host, interrupting the auction briefly. “Excuse me, but this man has been taken.” They took the man away quickly before anyone could react. The crowd was confused, wondering what was going on. “What’s the meaning of this? The auction isn’t over yet! Did someone offer something that can decide the outcome?” “I don't believe anyone can come up with such a good thing. Besides, although the man looks pretty good, this is over the top!” Everyone thought it was too much for someone to spend so much money on an ordinary man. Ronan watched in silence. He knew that the bottle of wine was nothing to Philip, but to outsiders, Philip was simply spending a fortune to get a slave. He sighed inwardly. It seemed that a handsome face was very important. The org
“What a bunch of perverts,” Philip cursed unhappily at the sight of their gleaming eyes. He had to get this guy at all costs. The bidding started, and everyone sent the price soaring. At this time, Philip decided not to compete with money. There was no point in bidding with money. He decided to offer something for the other party's ownership. He contacted the organizer of the auction and gave him a bottle of wine. “I have some wine that can improve your strength after taking it. I can let you have a taste for free so that you can verify my claims.” Philip then handed over the wine in his hand. The auctioneers looked at Philip doubtfully, surprised by Philip’s sudden gesture. “I know that the neighboring city is selling some wine that can improve one’s strength, but it’s very hard to get!” As auctioneers, they were very well-informed. Moreover, the Wagner family had spread the news a long time ago. Their intention was to promote their wine, but they had to include Philip t
