There was instant silence on the other end, followed by a wave of pressure like an earthquake!This was no trivial matter. It threatened the future of the Quaid family legacy!Furthermore, Marcus was the family’s brightest hope for the next generation.“Find out who did it, and kill them!”The voice on the other end roared with the aura of a king, followed by, “And send Marcus back here at once!”“Yes, sir!”Len responded and ended the call, wiping the cold sweat from his brow.Since the master had given him an order, he just had to carry it out.Capital City was a busy international metropolitan where cash and alcohol flowed freely.Right now, a few rays of moonlight were shining through the windows into a dark room in a villa. Inside, a young man in a wheelchair was looking out of the window expressionlessly. His gaze was dark, but no one could read what he was thinking.Just then, his phone rang. The handsome young man glanced at the caller ID and frowned slightly. After
"His last name is Clarke, but he probably isn't from that group."The butler replied, but he did not say any more than that."Probably? Look into it again!"The middle-aged man lost interest in the topic and said calmly, "Keep a close eye on what the Quaids do now. If they try anything unusual, tell me immediately. As for that Philip Clarke fellow, try to keep him alive if possible.""Yes, sir."The butler left the room, leaving the middle-aged man alone in the large study. He continued to admire the painting on the wall, marveling at its beauty.However, just then, the door to the study flew open, and an old man leaning on a cane appeared at the door.The middle-aged man hurriedly ran to the old man and said respectfully, "Why did you come down here, Father? It's so late!"The old man sat on the couch and coughed softly before saying, "I hear that the Quaid's son was castrated?"This was Old Master Joo, the foundation of the Joo family and the person with the most say!He wa
In truth, she wanted to ask Philip how he was going to settle the problem with Marcus Quaid.After she thought it over, though, she decided to let it be. Her husband was pretty mysterious.He probably would not let her interfere.Wynn got up and cleaned herself up, changing into clean clothes. Only then did Philip run back into the room, all smiles.“Do you feel better now, Wynn honey?”Philip wiped his sweat with a towel and asked her with a chuckle.Today, Wynn was dressed like a girl next door, wearing some exercise clothes and her hair tied in a ponytail.“I’m fine.”Wynn said, doing a few simple stretches. She showed off her figure perfectly, giving Philip quite the knock-out punch this early in the morning!“Are you going out for a walk?”Philip guessed based on how Wynn was behaving. Was she still tormented by what happened yesterday?“Yeah. I’m going out jogging for a bit.”Wynn replied, leaving the villa without hesitation in a jog.“Hey, wait for me. I’ll come wit
He then turned around and looked at the distant lake surface, his expression turning dark. He curled the corners of his lips into a cold smile and then kicked off against the ground, dashing toward the lake.Everyone thought he was useless trash.What they did not know was that he was rich, powerful, and also an inhuman fighter!Although he was not as good as Rick, he was much better than most normal people and even some trained assassins!After all, Reed’s demonic training was no child’s play. It was practically a suicidal regiment!On the surface of the lake, the female assassin codenamed Rosa was also observing Philip at the same time. When she saw that he was rapidly running toward her, she was quite startled!Was he even still human?Not only did he run at breakneck speeds, he even ran in a Z-shaped trajectory, making him impossible to aim at!Bang bang!Rosa pulled the trigger several times in a row, but the bullets just missed him!Or rather, he deftly managed to dodge
Rosa was furious. She kicked the deck, jumped up with the momentum, and performed a somersault!Philip immediately pushed the irritable woman away and touched his neck. He was quite fortunate. He almost got his throat cut!“I say, do you need to take this so seriously?” Philip shrugged as he asked.Rosa squatted on the ground, her eyes glinting with cold light like a sword ready to launch!“Again?”In an instant, Rosa dashed out and her double sabers were aimed directly at Philip’s chest!Philip was annoyed this time. A chill spread over his eyes. Increasing his intensity, he flipped sideways and raised his knee for a block!When Rosa finally noticed that her opponent leaked a trace of frightening intent, it was already too late!She was knocked away by Philip’s knee, crashed on the cabin, and fell heavily on the deck. It took a long while before she could even move!Philip crossed his arms over his chest and looked on coldly as Rosa struggled on the ground. He had not held ba
Wynn stared at Philip in bewilderment. She had no idea what he was talking about. “Phil, what do you mean? What about your identity?” Wynn was a little confused. Looking at Philip’s steadfast manner, it did not seem to be a farce. Could it be that Philip wanted to tell her about his true identity? Philip rubbed Wynn’s head fondly and said with a gentle smile, “Wynnie, don’t worry. Just leave everything to me. Make preparations for the press conference that will be held in Beacon Group's name. After this, there'll be new funds and new investors coming to Beacon.” New investors? Who? Wynn was very puzzled. She stared at Philip with wide eyes and suddenly tilted her head with a smile. “Has your friend returned from overseas?” Philip was startled for a bit before he replied, “Something like that. Go on and make the preparations first. The press conference is scheduled for tomorrow night. All the major media and related entrepreneurs have been invited, including Blake Michae
Back to a villa somewhere. For Houston Michaels, the past few days were not pleasant at all. His freedom had been restricted by his father and all his credit cards were frozen. He stayed at home every day, staring at the ceiling in a daze. Marcus Quaid, the second young master of the Quaid family, suddenly returned to Capital City two days ago. This had caused Blake Michaels to be overwhelmed and all plans were canceled at the last minute. According to the news received from Capital City, it was the eldest son of the Quaid family, Lawrence Quaid, who would replace Marcus’ position in Riverdale to plan the overall situation. A guy in a wheelchair was qualified to talk business? What was the Quaid family up to? Blake was not familiar with Lawrence, but he knew some secrets about the Quaid family. The fact that Lawrence could take charge of Riverdale indicated that something must have happened to Marcus. To avoid any unnecessary trouble, he decided to put his son in confinem
Blake hurried to Cirrus Manor and met Giada. This woman, Giada Wallis, was born with a glamorous and noble temperament. When she stood there unmoving, she was exactly like an iceberg with a cold demeanor. She was holding a Persian cat in her arms. “Madam, something must have happened to Marcus. I’m afraid that the Quaid family will not give up so easily this time. A disaster is brewing in Riverdale. When should we take action?” Blake stood in the hall while bending slightly, looking very respectful. Giada stood there with a calm expression and said in an unhurried manner, “I see. I'll contact the Quaid family. You can just do your own thing for now.” Blake nodded and asked again after a brief hesitation, “Madam, there’s something I don’t understand. Who on earth is this Philip who's so audacious that he can still be alive after hitting the second son of the Quaid family? Are you and he…” Giada’s face turned cold. She stared at Blake and said, “Don't ask questions that you s
At this time, the Claude family’s butler found the residence's doorstep surrounded by people. The butler was horrified and quickly found the patriarch. “Oh no, something bad has happened!” The butler ran into the room in disbelief. The excited Cameron scowled at this sudden intrusion. “What’s bad? Watch your words. Have you forgotten your manners? Don’t speak so loudly in this house!” Cameron had been lost in his excitement, but it was quickly replaced by anger. He wished he could fire the butler on the spot.The butler was scared and felt sorry for himself. “Patriarch! I wasn’t kidding. Something bad has happened!” “People from other families are at the door, including the heads of their families! They keep talking about some storage space and a rabbit, demanding an explanation from us. I don’t know what’s going on!” The butler felt aggrieved because he had no idea what happened. He only knew that a rabbit that could speak human language had turned up in the family. That ra
Philip had that precious tea on hand. Just one mouthful was enough to improve Cameron’s strength. He also had that incredible storage space. What was Philip’s background? How many mysterious treasures did he have? No one dared to think about it. Especially Cameron, who felt that he had found a treasure this time. At first, Cameron bore a grudge against Philip and felt that he had messed things up, but now, he saw Philip as his salvation.… Meanwhile, Sadie had no idea what had happened. Sadie’s husband was dealing with Philip’s issue with Cameron and did not have time to report the situation to his useless wife. She was still thinking about how to deal with Philip. “The rabbit’s storage space must be very valuable. If I spread the news about it, everyone will mess with that rabbit and save me the effort!” Thinking of this, Sadie thought she was very smart and was eager to put the plan into action. After thinking about it, Sadie contacted several families who were on go
“What are you guys doing here? Don’t you have anything better to do?” Rabbit asked bluntly. This arrogant rabbit was even more outspoken after staying with Aslan for so long. The Claude family felt offended. “My child, do you have a storage space? How did you get it? Can you tell me more?” Cameron ignored Rabbit but asked Ronan excitedly, eager to find out the situation. Ronan nodded calmly. “It’s just a storage space. Stop kicking up a fuss over it. My space is not very big, just enough to contain this house at most. It’s not a big deal,” he said pretentiously. Hearing that, Philip silently gave him a thumbs-up. He did not forget Ronan’s exaggerated expression when he first saw the size of the storage space. Surprisingly, Ronan got into the role so quickly. Philip thought he was a good actor. Ronan's casual remarks nearly caused everyone a mental breakdown. They were shocked as if they heard something incredible. “What? Is the space that big?” Cameron coughed violently.
“You can form a bond with the ring. Once that’s done, no one can take it away from you. It’ll belong to you forever.” Philip’s explanation reassured Ronan, and he finally accepted the gift from Philip with confidence. Although Ronan was strong, he was not arrogant to the point of being ignorant. If someone could take it from him, he would rather not have it. Although it was gratifying to own one, it would be painful to lose it after having it. With Philip’s affirmation, Ronan fidgeted with the ring happily and wanted to express his gratitude. Philip simply waved his hand without dwelling on it. “That’s enough. Go explore the storage space on your own. I believe it’ll help you greatly. “Since they’re so interested in Rabbit's storage space, you should show it off to them. I believe they’ll immediately hold you in high regard and maybe they’ll deal with those arrogant guys in the family.” Philip was excited at this mean trick and laughed when he thought of those people’s ugly
“This tea is amazing. I feel different with just one cup.” Cameron picked up the teapot to pour himself another cup of tea but it was empty. “Is that all you have?” Cameron smacked the table angrily. He was very annoyed and believed that they had stolen his tea. The man in the lead told Cameron his discovery. “We wanted to get rid of Philip, but we found this pot of tea in his room. We were very curious, so we took a sip, and the amazing effects surprised us! “We wanted to test it for poison, but we quickly brought it to you after discovering the powerful effects!” His explanation was so sound that no one could find any flaws. “The tea is good, but it's a pity that there’s only one sip. I wonder if Philip has the tea leaves.” Cameron’s mind raced. He was eager to have more of it. “We tied Philip up. Should we search his body?” They were eager to deal with Philip. Everyone yearned for that amazing tea. Cameron shook his head. He did not think that Philip would carry it
“This tea is simply amazing. I’m surprised that Philip is lucky enough to find this treasure!” “By the way, why is Philip alone? Where's that rabbit?” Everyone looked around but saw no signs of the rabbit and had to give up. In the end, only a mouthful of tea was left in the pot. After much deliberation, they decided to give it to the patriarch. After all, it was a rare treasure! They quickly tied Philip up. Once Philip lost his freedom, they had nothing to worry about. They wanted to take credit for their finding and let the family know about this rare treasure.… Meanwhile, Cameron was in his room, thinking about how to carry out the competition. He had just finished talking with Ronan and was in a good mood. He was surprised by Ronan’s attitude. Ronan did not hold a grudge against them and desperately wanted to join their family, which was simply too good to be true. More importantly, Ronan was strong enough to win the competition for them. Cameron did not care whet
At this moment, Philip noticed something unusual and realized that someone had sneaked into his yard. He was amused that someone dared to mess with him. “Surround this area while I poison him. After he’s dead, don’t forget to bring the rabbit along with us. It’s best if we can figure out the rabbit’s secret. If not, just silence the rabbit too!” The person taking the lead explained the plan. He was none other than Sadie’s husband. For the sake of his position in the family and his son, he had to take the risk. Philip was enjoying his premium spiritual tea, and that fragrance could not be concealed at all. Very soon, the intruders smelled the fragrance and followed their noses to find the source. “Do you smell something fragrant? I feel that my strength has improved after a whiff of this smell!” “I feel refreshed with just one whiff as if my ailment has been relieved. That ailment has been bothering me for years. This is amazing!” Everyone was excited as they tracked the s
Cameron never thought that he would lose to a rabbit in an argument. After a brief silence, he finally decided to ignore the matter for the time being. Since the treasures were in Rabbit’s hands, he had to talk to Ronan about the competition. “Ronan, come with me. I want to tell you about the competition. Your friend can stay. We’ll treat him with the utmost courtesy!” Cameron invited Ronan kindly while signaling to everyone. As long as Ronan was not around, they could attack and even kill Philip on the spot. Philip would be useless once they figured out Rabbit’s secret. If Ronan asked, they could say that Philip decided to leave. Anyway, they had all sorts of excuses to take care of this. Ronan glanced at Philip and walked to the conference hall. Ronan knew that he had to deal with these people himself. Philip was only here to give him courage. Philip gave him a reassuring look and returned to the house. He was interested in the competition, so he wanted to figure out
“Are you talking about this rabbit? He’s not my pet. He belongs to my friend.” Ronan shrugged. He wanted such a pet, but he was not good enough. Hearing that, Cameron's face turned pale. Although the rabbit was an additional benefit, he never thought that he would fail to get it. Cameron glared at Philip. He did not have a good impression of Philip. Philip looked like a troublemaker. He suspected that Philip had influenced Ronan into making things difficult for them. Cameron wanted to drive Philip away, but Ronan abruptly said that this matter was related to Philip. Before he could weigh the pros and cons, Cameron decided to hide his emotions. At least, he could not reveal his dislike for Philip. “I see. Your friend seems like a casual practitioner. Why don't he consider joining our family? For your sake, I can give him the same treatment and allow the two of you to take part in the competition as representatives of the family. I believe you’ll do your best and won’t let me
