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
“Tell Len, if he doesn’t bring that person back, he won't be able to return to the Quaid family forever!” Quentin flapped his sleeves in fury. The butler wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded in response. “Yes, Old Master.” After that, he backed up and prepared to retreat. The intensity flowing from Quentin’s body was too scary, especially his battle-tested and murderous aura. It was absolutely daunting! “Wait a minute!” Quentin stood on top of the high hall with his hands behind his back. With his pair of ferocious eyes glaring, he coldly said, “Contact the Longford family of Riverdale.” After a while, the butler handed over the phone. Quentin answered the phone. There was a hearty and complimentary greeting on the other end. “Mr. Quaid, what has happened for you to call me in person?” “Hmph! Trent Longford, my son was incapacitated on your territory. Don’t tell me you don’t know about this!” Quentin said sternly, his face covered with frost. “Ah, you’r
After Philip and Theo left, Trent picked up the phone to call Quentin. “Trent, where is he?” Quentin was in a bad temper and asked directly in a cold voice. “Quentin, I advise you to stop while you can. The person Marcus offended is not someone you can afford to provoke.” Trent did not want to ruin his relationship with Quentin. After all, he belonged to the Quaid family of Capital City and had immense power as well as a profound background. Although the two were very close at one time, they parted ways because of an incident. “What are you talking about? Is there someone I can't afford to offend? Are you afraid to catch that person? Fine! I’ll personally bring my men to Riverdale!” Quentin was furious and roared angrily. However, on the phone, Trent just replied solemnly, “Quentin Quaid! This world is not owned by your Quaid family! There are larger forces out there! Don’t forget how your eldest son was incapacitated back then!” Lawrence? Hearing this, Quentin trembled
“This group of people has gone too far! I wanted to register for my son just now, but I’m not going to do it now!” “Damn it, I’m going to kill them!” “Don’t be impulsive. You can’t beat them. They’re members of the Hari dojo, so they’re very strong!” For a while, the crowd was enthusiastic but no one dared to go up because they were just ordinary people while the people on the opposite side were those from the dojo. They had learned the art of Taekwondo. Looking at the excited crowd, those Japanese men laughed uproariously while pointing at them and mocking. “Hahaha, idiots! You’re all weaklings. Nothing to fear at all. Orienta p*ssies! Come on, come and hit me!” “Bruce Lee, no way! Weakling!” “Hahaha, don't you know kung fu? Come and see how our Taekwondo crushes your kung fu!” Most people were agitated by their provocation. However, there were also a small number of people mixed in the crowd who were suspected of being pro-Japanese as they would sneer. “Just admit tha
Riverdale, First Palace villa. Today, Wynn was dressed very tastefully, wearing a backless black dress while having on delicate makeup. She looked at herself in the mirror while Anne behind her grinned broadly and said, “Wynn, you’re so beautiful. Such poise.” Wynn smiled, turned around, picked her handbag decisively, and said, “Let’s go.” Today was the day of the press conference held by Beacon, which Wynn had been preparing for the whole day. Ever since Philip left Riverdale yesterday, Wynn had been busy preparing for it. As she trusted Philip, the press conference today was particularly well prepared and grand. As for what was going to happen, Wynn had found out from Howard. This press conference was held to announce that Beacon would set up a new board of directors and that new investors would be joining the board. In other words, Beacon would get rid of the previous board of directors and become truly independent as Wynn's own company. Howard had also been busy a
Standing beside Blake, Houston also sneered. “Haha, how can a woman lead a company like Beacon? Dream on! Without support from the Michaels family, I want to see how far Beacon can go under your lead!” The provocation was obvious. It attracted the attention of many entrepreneurs and celebrities present, and everyone started discussing it. “That’s the family head of the Michaels family from Golden City, Blake Michaels. His company is worth hundreds of billions, and it’s a big group!” “Such a bigwig can’t be provoked. If Beacon became enemies with them, things will be tough for them in the future.” “No doubt about it. This Wynn Johnston is asking for it. I heard that she has a kept husband, and the conflict with the Michaels family happened because of that husband of hers.” Many people chattered mockingly. Although they were all invited to this event, they did not respect Beacon in the least, much less Wynn, simply because she was a woman. What could she do? In Riverdal
At the scene, many people began to criticize Beacon and Wynn. Their words were sharp and very insulting. Among them, there were many senior leaders in the pharmaceutical industry in Riverdale and senior officials of the Medical Association. They were now standing on the opposing side against Beacon and naturally became the focus of the press conference! This scene was being broadcasted by all major media! Suddenly, Beacon became the trending topic and the public enemy of the entire city! Counterfeit medicine! Even on the internet, news about Beacon and the fraud went viral! It was just like a huge fire that had started to burn. Moreover, people kept posting on the internet that they had bought Beacon’s medicine but not only were they not cured, they even had adverse reactions to the drug. Faced with all these, even Howard and Hayley were caught off guard. Hayley quickly went on the stage and whispered in Wynn’s ear, “Madam Johnston, something happened. The internet
“Are you sure you want to go in?” Rabbit jerked awake from its daze and crawled out of Philip's arms. “In that case, you should choose someone who isn't afraid to die,” Rabbit said tauntingly as if it was ready to watch the fun. Yule was startled by Rabbit’s sudden appearance and nasty remark. Although Philip had not formally introduced Rabbit, he knew that Rabbit was Philip’s pet, a powerful creature that most people could not afford to offend. Although rich people would tend to mess around with similar monster pets, a creature like Rabbit that had developed intelligence and could speak to humans were few and far between. “With all sorts of dangers below, you can give it a try if you’re not afraid to die. Of course, I’d advise against it. After all, you’re very weak,” Rabbit scorned Yule while telling him the truth. It was very mean, indeed. Philip shook his head helplessly while Rabbit intimidated others. He was more determined to cook Rabbit now. “Based on the informatio
“Are these things good enough for you? You haven’t seen anything yet.” Yule was embarrassing. If his people dared to do this, Philip would explode. He would never allow his people to act this way. “Yeah, the pills and weapons we found along the way are simply amazing. I can’t imagine what we’ll find in the real treasure vault. I’m sure even you’ll be won over.” They did not encounter any dangers or difficult creatures along the way as if they had passed the test. However, they did not find any trace of the King’s Ruins either, which puzzled Philip. “Is the so-called King’s Ruins referring to these useless things?” Philip frowned and glanced around. If this was the so-called King’s Ruins, he would be very disappointed. Rabbit popped out and waved its paw at Philip, clearly trying to say something. “Philip, you’re too much. Do you really think these things are worthless? Maybe you don’t find them valuable, but they're seen as priceless treasures to others. Most people can’t e
“Yule's father is seriously injured, and his strength has reduced significantly. He’ll die if he can’t find an expert to cure him. Do you think Yule can act so arrogantly if his father dies? There’s no way he can do that anymore.” Mason’s words gave everyone the hope to replace Yule. Yule had used his identity to gain a lot of benefits in Deadly Arena. Although no one said anything, they longed to do the same too. “If you can do this for me, I promise you the same treatment. You'll enjoy no less than what Yule has.” Mason was confident that since Sienna was on his side, it would soon be his time to soar to greater heights. It would then be impossible for these people to mess with him. He could easily deal with anyone from Deadly Arena who dared to oppose him. With Sienna’s strength, he could do whatever he wanted. “As long as you help me get what I want, I’ll give you whatever you want. That’s a promise,” Mason said smugly. Everyone was surprised and looked forward to i
“I’m surprised that these golems are so difficult to deal with. I thought we could crush them easily!” “If we had known earlier, we would've taken our time and let Philip’s people deal with them!” Everyone regretted it, but no one knew what to do now that the golems were in front of them. Mason gritted his teeth and led the fight. It was a matter of life and death, and no one could be excluded. These golems were difficult for Lyle to deal with, not to mention these losers. They suffered heavy casualties, and everyone was injured to some extent. Fortunately, they brought a lot of supplies with them. They had many pills to heal wounds and could save their lives for the time being. “One golem caused us such casualties. We’ll be in trouble if more golems turn up.” Someone glanced at Mason in a panic. The same man who spoke gulped and expressed his opinion, “I think we should work with Yule and the others. Maybe we can quickly reach our destination with them. More importantl
Philip's men quickly divided the golems between them. Seeing several golems left unattended, Yule gritted his teeth and ordered his men to fight. They could not stand by and do nothing. Everyone quickly joined the fight, and Philip had a better understanding of their abilities. Yule and his men fought with all their strength, so their improvement was quite obvious. Mason and his people arrived one after another and saw the fight at a glance but did not intend to get involved. Since the other party was distracted by a powerful foe, there was no point in joining the fun. He even hoped that Philip could face all the dangers alone. “Let’s wait here and don’t waste time fighting. Don’t you see how powerful the golems are?” Mason was excited. As a weaponsmith, he had a passion for such powerful items. He drooled at the sight of the huge golems and wanted to take one for himself. Philip quickly got rid of many golems, which was an easy task for someone of his strength. However,
“Philip, we need to run. That thing is a bronze golem, and it’s freaking me out. Just look at it. I think it can kill me easily.” Rabbit was terrified, at a loss for what to do. “What? A bronze golem?” Philip was surprised to encounter something like that. Everyone gasped and became more interested in the King’s Ruins. It was very difficult to make a bronze golem. The craftsman had to extract the souls of large monster beasts and infuse them into a humanoid bronze golem. It was a cruel and grueling process. No ordinary person could produce a golem of this difficulty. Everyone grimaced at the sight of the golem and felt that it was difficult to deal with. “This golem is not easy to deal with. It’s a force to be reckoned with!” Yule winced, clearly trying to act tough. “We’ll probably be at a disadvantage if we fight that monster head-on.” After much deliberation, Yule decided to follow Philip’s order. It would be best if Philip was willing to fight. With Philip’s strengt
Philip’s men quickly left the spot. No one believed that Mason could last long. Before leaving, everyone left words of ridicule. Mason was so angry by their taunts that he almost passed out. “Damn it, I won’t let you off. Just you wait!” Mason yelled vehemently, wishing he could rip Philip apart. No matter how much he yelled, Philip had left and could no longer hear him. He and his group had returned to normal after a brief rest. Mason was anxious, but there was nothing else he could do. “Let’s go, everyone. We have no time to lose. Philip has surpassed us. At this rate, they’ll take the lead,” Mason urged the team. He had a feeling that he would lose the competition if he missed the head start. Everyone nodded in agreement. They gritted their teeth and moved forward. Philip and his team were in good condition and full of energy, but Mason and his team looked lethargic and pitiful. “Philip, I’m amazed by the effects of your pills. I feel as if you can do anything. Can w
“Wow, some people are in such a hurry to die,” Yule marveled at the stupidity of Mason’s people. They had watched as the door emerged and could tell how dangerous it was. However, Mason rushed in without a care in the world. “Let’s follow them. Since they've entered, there shouldn't be any big danger,” Philip said. Philip led them into the bronze door of the King's Ruins with a smile. His only concern was whether he could find something he wanted in the King’s Ruins. He had to find the Binary Herb. He could not let others steal it from him. It was an important material for alchemists and weaponsmiths. It was also helpful in restoring one’s strength. After his men entered the bronze door, Philip noticed that the door was quickly sinking to the bottom of the lake. “Hurry up. The door is about to close.” Philip was the last to enter and knew what he should do. They felt uncomfortable all over when they entered the door. Their internal organs seemed to be under tremendous p
Seeing that it was getting dark, Philip decided not to do anything at night. He told everyone to find a few big trees and set up camp on the trees. “We’ll set up camp for the night and set off tomorrow morning. This place is very strange, so it’s best not to rush in blindly.” Everyone was persuaded by Philip’s reminder. They nodded and started to set up tents. No one thought of making a fire. Anyway, practitioners were resistant to cold. They would simply feel uncomfortable in extreme climates. Very soon, the moon appeared above everyone's head. Suddenly, a strange sound came from the pool of water, and waves surged. A huge bronze door emerged from the bottom of the pool just like that. Water flowed over the bronze door with a thunderous roar. Gusts of cold wind whipped up from the bronze door, and the temperature nearby plummeted. Hearing this commotion, Philip and his friends emerged from the tents and saw these changes. “Could that be the entrance to the King’s Ruins?”
