“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
At this moment, Quentin was mobilizing people in the inner hall while sternly berating, “Damn you, Trent Longford! I’ll bring my men there personally to catch that guy. I want to see how he’s going to protect him! “If I can’t take this revenge, I’ll step down as the head of the Quaid family!” As Quentin’s voice fell, everyone in the hall looked startled and started to persuade him. “Old Master, you mustn’t do this. It’s just a small Riverdale. We can handle it. You just stay here.” “That’s right. Even if that’s Longford’s territory, anyone who bullies our second young master must pay the price!” At everyone’s persuasion, Quentin waved his sleeves and said, “That’s enough. I’ve already decided. All of you get ready. We’ll be leaving at any time now.” With that said, everyone stopped talking. Suddenly! “Old Master, it’s bad! Someone has broken into our manor!” At the door, the butler rushed in and was already out of breath. Before he finished talking, several bodyguards
Crack! Suddenly, the weather over Capital City changed drastically! In the sky, thunder rumbled and its intensity was frightening! Bolts of lightning flashed across the sky, weaving among the thick dark clouds like winding dragons! Enormous, thick dark clouds covered the entire sky over Capital City in an instant! It grew dark all of a sudden. The lightning that pierced through the heavens directly illuminated the entire Quaid Manor and also illuminated Quentin's face! There was anger, frigidity, and endless killing intent! As the patriarch of the Quaid family, Quentin had fought for decades before he finally took that position. It was the golden time for him to shine. How could he be scared by the words of an ignorant brat like Philip?! “Annihilate the Quaid family? You’re the first person to utter those words! Audacious!” A ferocious beast-like roar erupted from Quentin’s chest. Behind him, dozens of special guards quickly closed the circle. At the same time,
“No one ever comes to my place. You must be outsiders.” Celeste was curious, wondering who Philip was. Celeste knew about the four unique races, but Philip’s appearance and form did not fit any of them. “You’re right. I’m an outsider. I wanted to know something, so I came to the forest. It’s best if you can give me an answer. I don’t intend to harm anyone. If you can answer my questions, I’ll leave and remove the curse on you as well,” Philip persuaded her. He felt that the woman was quite sincere, different from what he imagined. In that case, there was no need to make things difficult for her. Besides, he did not feel a murderous vibe in her, so she had probably never done anything bad. Philip had no reason to make things difficult for someone who liked to hide and sing. “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I know, but I don’t really know much. I usually stay in my own territory and have no contact with the outside world. Even the other races don't know of my existence.” Rabbit
Philip felt that there was no problem with his hearing. Someone was humming a song, and the tune sounded very strange and spooky in the dark forest. Rabbit frowned and nodded. He also heard the strange sound and was scared. “Who has nothing better to do but to sing here?” Rabbit nervously grabbed the corner of Philip's clothes, afraid that Philip would leave him behind. Philip shook his head. According to the others, no one would come here for no reason. Due to various dangers in the forest, they would only wander around the edge without seeking trouble in the depths. In that case, the abrupt singing voice was very strange, indeed. “Philip, don't be nervous. Stay calm.” Rabbit's voice was trembling. Although Rabbit kept telling Philip to stay calm, he was already freaking out, so scared that he nearly wanted to run away. Philip knew Rabbit’s character, so he did not comment. He simply observed the surroundings and listened carefully to the sound, which was so ethereal tha
Philip took Puffy along and quickly arrived in a forest where the other races usually hunted, so they should not face any danger here. As soon as Philip left, a woman appeared in the corner and looked in the direction where Philip left with a conflicted look on her face. “Should I follow him?” Ariadna had been left behind in the snake people’s village. She had no friends, and no one paid her any attention. Sometimes, they even displayed their ridicule and disdain for her. She did not get good treatment even though she was a junior from the outside world. In desperation, Ariadna decided to follow Philip. Unexpectedly, she saw Philip with a cute kid the next second. Ariadna was surprised to see that Philip had such a big and cute child. “Wait, that kid looks a little weird.” Due to the distance, Ariadna could not see what the kid looked like, but his color and body shape seemed different from that of normal people. After much deliberation, Ariadna decided to tag along, co
“I’ll look around and find out what’s going on. Don’t worry about me. Look for Ronan if anything crops up.” Philip decided to leave Ronan in charge. Ronan did not object. He knew that Philip wanted to train him. He rarely interacted with others, so he had poor social skills. He had improved with Philip’s help, but his skills were still nothing compared to Philip’s subordinates. He was deeply moved by the opportunity that Philip had given him. “Sure enough, heroes will emerge from the youth. You two will have a bright future!” Wren said excitedly. Philip did not comment. After a few pleasantries, he wandered around with Rabbit. Selma and her people had no time for Philip. They finally found their predecessors, so they had many questions to solve. Philip was most interested in getting to the bottom of this mysterious place. It felt more like a cage designed to trap them. It was devoid of rich energy and other resources suitable for them. What was the purpose of the person b
A woman like Arachne who pursued her own happiness was usually frowned upon. A person who was willing to sacrifice for the family would be recorded in history forever. Weaver patted Ariadna's shoulder expectantly, believing she could carry it out. After all, he did not know what had happened between them earlier. Everything was a big mistake. “I don’t think I can complete this difficult task,” Ariadna said nervously, afraid that Weaver would put too much hope on her. Ariadna knew that Rabbit had a grudge against her. Moreover, some of her actions had offended Philip, who might ignore her because of that. Thinking of this, she wanted to decline the task, but Weaver was very firm about his decision. “As the holy maiden of the family, this task is yours. No one else can do it but you.” Weaver put Ariadna on a high pedestal, so all the pressure fell on her. Weaver left with the others, leaving the poor holy maiden behind. Arachne looked at Ariadna resentfully. The opportunity
“You never considered the consequences when you tried to take advantage of us. We brought them here, and they have the right to choose. Don't think about taking advantage.” Philip nodded at Fitz’s attitude. Sure enough, he liked this earnest man and was happy with his point of view. “If you want something, you need to pay a price for it. As I mentioned, I’m a businessman, so I prefer fair trade. I’m more than happy if you want to discuss a deal with me.” In fact, they had reached an agreement before the spider people arrived. Philip would not help the other three races for free, but he was not bad enough to charge them fees either. However, the spider people were different. Not to mention that Philip had a bad impression of them, but Rabbit’s grudge also remained unavenged. The spider people scowled at Philip’s disrespect, which was simply outrageous. The other races laughed gloatingly. The spider people had always been arrogant and domineering, preventing their developme
“I'm afraid that the snake people will strike a deal with him and monopolize everything.” The old man anxiously led everyone in the direction of the snake people. They could not miss the chance to share a piece of the pie. However, he did not intend to tell his people about it. The other two races no longer existed in the outside world, so it did not matter if they could not leave. It would be best to let their legends fade away in history. That idea was very selfish. Just when he thought he could grab all the benefits by stealth, the snake people shared the information without keeping it a secret. However, the snake people only shared the news with the other two races. They did not have a good impression of the spider people and even had the idea of leaving them behind. When the spider people hurried over, they found a crowd. They saw not only the young ones of the snake people but also those from the other two races. The other two races were the turtles and magpies. Just li
The old man felt annoyed when he saw the two women not getting along. He knew that the holy maidens of the family would face a lot of struggles. Ambitious women would try every means to cause trouble just to destroy the status of the holy maidens. By doing so, they could find ways to replace them. It was an underhanded method but effective. After all, not everyone could cope with the distinguished status of the holy maiden. One mistake could be fatal. Therefore, a holy maiden had to be prideful and flawless, just like an untainted and pure white lotus. The old man nodded thoughtfully. He did not think that Arachne looked like the holy maiden, and his suspicions were confirmed. She was not the holy maiden at all. Actions spoke louder than words. Arachne did not carry a regal bearing, so she would not act like a queen even if she wore a crown. At first, the old man wondered why the spider family would choose someone so unbefitting for the role of the holy maiden. Now that
At this point, an old man walked over. Although they usually maintained their true form, they sometimes took on a human form. Unlike the snake people who did not look very different between the two forms, the spider people looked outrageous in their true forms. “Are you one of the younger generation from outside?” The old man was curious to see the younger children's arrival at this place today. As someone who could not wait to make an impression, Arachne rushed forward and began to introduce herself. In short, Arachne was gradually taking over Ariadna’s position. Although the others were annoyed, they did not say anything because Arachne was really putting in some effort. There was no point in arguing about such things. The most important thing was to remove their curse. The old man was very excited and could not wait to welcome them. “This is wonderful. It has been thousands of years since we saw an outsider!” His eyes gleamed with excitement. “Tell me how you got in,” he
