The atmosphere suddenly froze! The bodyguards behind Levi wanted to rush forward! “Get lost!” Philip roared domineeringly, glaring at the two bodyguards. They were stunned on the spot, not daring to take another step forward. “Look, does your bodyguard dare to lay a finger on me? Everything you own, including the branch family, is given by the main family. Just remain in your place obediently!” With that said, Philip released his hold on Levi’s collar. Levi was so angry that his face was flushed red. In the end, he could not help it and taunted, “Philip, I really didn’t expect this. After seven years, you’ve grown up a lot. You’re no longer the taciturn and useless kid from before. Very well. Things have become interesting between us.” “Levi, don’t try to challenge me. Otherwise, I’ll make you regret it!” Philip threw down these final words, turned, and left. Standing in the rest area, Levi stared at Philip’s back, fury raging in his heart. This damned little trash!
“Is what? Do you know him?” Martha interrupted as she stared fixedly at Philip. Philip was taken aback. He saw that Wynn was also staring at him and explained, “Uh, yes, you can put it that way.” “Really? Why do I doubt that? He’s a rich young man with hundreds of billions worth of personal assets. You know someone like that?” Martha looked at Philip dubiously, her eyes betraying her contempt. This Philip started to become arrogant just because his family had some money. “I heard that someone’s family seems to be bankrupt,” Martha added. She met Juan a couple of days ago for a meal. At the dinner table, Juan told her that the Clarke family used to be very rich, but now they were bankrupt, so he was still a useless wretch. Therefore, Martha started to swagger around again. If not for her mistake last time, she would never have tolerated Philip for so long. How could a bankrupt wretch have the right to become her son-in-law? That was Martha’s thoughts right now. Phi
“What are you thinking?” Cynthia said while smiling alluringly. She turned and went in while swaying her full figure.Philip stood awkwardly behind the door before pretending to cough a few times and followed. Cynthia tilted her head and wiped her wet hair with a towel as she walked. She said, “Come here and have a seat. Why are you so nervous?” Her voice was sweet and soft with a tinge of coyness in her tone. Philip’s body went taut when he heard it. Following Cynthia, Philip sat down on the sofa in the living room of the suite. She walked to the coffee table and asked with a smile, “Tea or coffee? Or do you prefer red wine instead?” Wow, Cynthia was acting strange tonight! Philip frowned as he looked at her, wondering what tricks this woman had up her sleeves. With that thought in his mind, Philip shook his head and said, “Cynthia, why are you doing this in the middle of the night? Let’s just discuss business if there’s anything to discuss. I still have to go home afte
Philip laughed faintly and said, “Don’t tell me that you like me and are totally obsessed with me. Otherwise, I really can’t understand what’s the meaning behind all of your actions tonight.” Cynthia glared at him angrily before kicking him in the knee, saying, “Damn you. I won’t like you even though you don’t look too bad…” In the end, Cynthia blushed visibly and her voice became soft. Huh? What was this situation? This woman would not like him, right? “Ah, it’s all because of what you did. I forgot what I wanted to say now.” Cynthia glared at Philip. He pillowed his head on his arms and said maliciously, “I didn’t do you.” Cynthia frowned and asked, “What do you mean?” When she heard him cough awkwardly, she finally realized what he meant. She immediately blushed like a red apple and glared at Philip angrily. “Scoundrel! Pervert!” “Is there anything else? If not, I’d better go now. After all, it’s not good for a man and a woman to stay in the same room,” Philip sa
Suddenly, at the window, a flash of light hit Philip’s eyes. Huh? Philip’s heart suddenly tightened as his gaze became extremely sharp and filled with a piercing chill. He stared straight at the large French window that reflected himself and Cynthia! Abruptly, Philip chuckled and said, “I think you should come into my arms because something unexpected may happen next.” Startled, Cynthia’s face started burning in panic. She immediately scolded in shame, “Scoundrel! What are you saying?! How can you do this?! What about Wynn?!” Before she could finish her words, Philip suddenly pulled her into his arms! “You… B*stard! How dare you molest me?!” Although Cynthia shouted indecent assaults on her lips, her heart thumped rapidly and she kept pulling herself closer into Philip’s arms! Could it be that this man had finally come to his senses? Philip’s intensity was so strong that it made Cynthia’s heart thud, but before she finished scolding, the French window shattered with a
Cynthia stared at Philip in bewilderment, not understanding what he meant. At that moment, Rick rushed over, raised his leg, and kicked Philip's side fiercely! Bam! The person who wanted to sneakily attack was kicked directly in the chest by Rick and flew out like a cannonball, hitting the coffee table by the sofa! Everything happened in a blink of an eye. The remaining two assassins quickly sieged Philip and Rick! Both of them held double sabers and were ready to attack Rick, giving him no chance to survive at all! With a firm resolve in Rick’s eyes and his movements lightning fast, he raised his hand to grab one guy’s arms before snapping it broken with a loud crack! The other person saw the opportunity and pierced Rick's neck with two sabers! With less than a body’s distance from Rick, ordinary people would hardly be able to escape and could only die! However, at the critical moment, Rick turned his body and flipped behind that person before raising his hand for a
“Argh! I’ll talk! I’ll tell you! Please spare me!” The man had torn his mask to pieces and scratched his face until it was bloody. It was truly a horrifying sight to the eyes. Philip was pleased. It seemed that this pill was quite effective. He said, “Prepare more for future use.” “One million each,” Rick said solemnly. Philip’s face turned dark. This brat must have been too poor in his past life! “The Beauty Killers! The Beauty Killers sent us!” The man was enduring great pain to squeeze this sentence from his throat, then he cried and begged Philip to let him go. Philip’s expression sank as his brows furrowed! The Beauty Killers? He turned to Rick and asked, “Can you check?” Rick’s face also changed as he said, “No need for that. I know this group.” Philip snorted, looked at the other guy, and said, “If you don’t want this to continue, go back and tell your boss not to cause any more trouble for me. Otherwise, I have 100 ways to make all of you disappear from th
Philip had never heard of such an illogical request. Smack! He raised his hand, slapped her, and scolded sternly, “Martha Yates, have you forgotten your promise? Are you up to your tricks again?” The slap was so loud and clear that Martha was immediately stunned. She was originally angry, but now, she had come back to her senses. However, she was still dissatisfied and cursed adamantly, “Philip, why’d you hit me? I’m your mother-in-law! I just fired someone, so what? I don’t like Anne Foster! If she’s here, then I’ll go!” With that said, Martha covered her face and sat angrily on the sofa. Philip was too audacious! No, he was getting more and more audacious! If this continued, she would lose her position in this family. She must think of a way to suppress him! “Fine, you can get lost then!” Philip said coldly, not to be outdone at all. “You! You’re going to be the death of me! I must tell Wynn! You must get a divorce!” Martha threw the pillow angrily, glared a
At this time, Cameron and his men returned in the middle of the night. He saw the Claude family members crying as soon as he returned. They were bruised and battered from a beating, looking utterly miserable. Cameron was furious that someone would dare to bully his family members while he was away. “What's going on? Why are you in this state? Did someone cause trouble while I was away?” Cameron was angry and in disbelief, feeling that something was strange. Everyone nodded nervously. “Ronan is here!” The old woman who suffered the worst beating was very upset and glared viciously in Ronan’s direction. “Cameron, although you left me in charge while you were away, I can’t do it anymore. Ronan kept messing with us and even brought some people to beat us up!” The old woman made up stories and described Ronan as an unforgivable evildoer. Cameron scowled, but he could not believe it. “What did you say? Ronan actually hit someone?” He was unwilling to believe it. Although Ronan
Philip took out some fine wine, which was worthless to him but priceless to Ronan. Ronan laughed at Philip’s nonchalance and patted his shoulder. The two of them sat down and started drinking. Rabbit joined in the fun and swallowed the wine in big gulps. Although the alcohol content was a bit high for Rabbit, he enjoyed it happily. They quickly felt slightly tipsy. Although they were practitioners, they did not use any techniques to sober up. It was okay to be a little intoxicated as long as it did not affect them too much. It was rare to find a friend who they could click so well with, so it was a blessing to get drunk together. As they drank happily, the aroma of the wine wafted out. Everyone smelled the fragrance and looked for the source of the scent. They quickly found Ronan's residence and scowled. That smell proved that he had to be drinking good wine in there. “How is he worthy of such fine wine?” “Just a whiff of that wine clears my head, so it has to be good s
Although victory was not confirmed, they had to take part. Since the other party said so, they had no choice but to win. At the thought of the other major families, Cameron scowled as he felt the pressure. “I heard that you have a non-human descendant in your family,” the other party said with a smile, but it was uncertain if his intention was to mock Cameron or to find out some information. The Claude family scowled as they instantly figured out who the other party was talking about—Ronan. This person had disgraced the whole family. “We do have someone like that in our family. Back then, one of our youths was restless and impulsive…” Cameron wanted to explain, but the other party interrupted him. The mysterious man smiled with satisfaction at Cameron’s admittance. “If that’s the case, it’s great. Let this person take part in the competition. I’m interested in his strength and want to try it out in person. “Other than your victory, this person has to take part in the comp
By treating Ronan badly, the people would receive some rewards from the higher-ups. After a while, everyone got used to it. Even the wine sold to Ronan was cheap wine that no one wanted. “There’ll be a place for me in the world somehow!” Philip shook his head. These people’s attitude was strange, indeed, but he did not think that they could not find a roof over their heads. Since the Claude family was so arrogant, they could take over their place. Thinking of this, Philip took them back to the Claude family's manor and knocked on the door with a smile on his face. The guards were horrified to see Philip and Ronan again. They did not forget how badly they were beaten earlier. Thus, no one dared to stop them from marching in for fear that they would be beaten again. They could not afford the consequences. The Claude family quickly learned about their appearance. They scowled, their faces turning ashen. “Why are you here again?” “We already told you that they won't be ba
Even though everyone was angry, they could not help but taunt the culprit. The cowardly man coughed at their sarcastic remarks. “Let’s wait until the family head returns tomorrow. I don’t believe Ronan will be so arrogant when he’s around!” After saying that, he ran to his room and hid, unwilling to say more to the others. Ronan did not know what happened back then. As long as he refused to admit it, he believed that Ronan could not do anything to him. It was a conspiracy against Ronan’s mother back then. If the family head refused to protect him, he would tell Ronan everything to save himself.… After Ronan left the luxurious manor, his mood instantly became better. He never thought that he would do something so spectacular one day. “Thank you.” Ronan lowered his head to Philip humbly. He was grateful to Philip and wanted to pledge brotherhood with Philip. Philip waved his hands awkwardly, surprised by Ronan’s courtesy. He did not do much; he just gave him some confiden
Other members of the family had been so pampered that no one could fight Ronan either. All of them were sent flying, and some of them hung on the tree miserably. Philip laughed at the scene. These people had always treated Ronan as a pushover when, in fact, Ronan was a force to be reckoned with. None of them was a match for him. “I know that other than my uncle, some other people were also involved in harming my mother, but I don’t know who they are. You'd better hand them over or no one will leave this place alive today.” Ronan’s killing intent was very intense. He was clearly very angry. Everyone panicked and looked around carefully, at a loss for what to do. They saw the fear in each other’s eyes. The family head had taken Ronan's uncle and some other people to a city. It was difficult for them to find a decision-maker when the elders were not around. The instigator from back then was not around either. Who else could they look for? “Calm down. This matter has nothin
Ronan’s uncle did not hesitate to force his elder sister to her death just to kick the most promising descendant out of the family. This grudge was unforgivable. Everyone laughed at Ronan’s audacity to seek revenge. Only a fool would dare to do that. “Do you know how powerful your uncle is?” “Although he’s not here now, he’s not someone you can afford to mess with.” Everyone mocked Ronan without taking him seriously at all. “Did you hear what I said?” Ronan scowled. These people kept disregarding his request and paid no attention to him. He felt very upset. “Since you won’t hand him over, I’ll beat you until he appears. If he’s not here, other people can take his place.” He knew that his uncle was quite powerful and would often go to other towns or cities for networking. While it was true that he might not be around, it did not mean that Ronan would not make trouble for the others. Everyone looked at Ronan arrogantly, waiting to see what Ronan would do. Suddenly, Rona
The guards were taken aback by Ronan’s sudden arrogance and looked at him doubtfully. “What’s up with you? Do you want to take action?” “After all these years, have you finally decided to avenge your mother?” They kept taunting Ronan without realizing how angry he was. “I repeat—I want to see the people who forced my mother to her death back then!” Ronan stomped his foot in anger and glared at everyone around him. The guards were startled because they finally felt Ronan’s strength with that stomp. They did not expect him to be that strong. Maybe because of Ronan’s fury, they finally realized his might and quickly scrambled into the manor. Philip saw the name on a plaque—Claude Manor. The place looked pretty imposing, and Philip felt a stab of longing as he looked around. Philip stood without a word. His main objective was to help Ronan. The guards ran away in a panic. They knew that Ronan was going to make things difficult for them. “It’s bad. Ronan is at the door
The man could not resist because he was alone. Next time, he would bring more people to deal with Philip. Philip saw his resentment but took no notice of it. No matter how much he resented Philip, he would not survive tonight. Such an arrogant and domineering person would not live to see the sun tomorrow. “Y-You hit him?” Ronan looked at Philip in disbelief, shocked that Philip would stand up for him. Although he usually appeared simple and kind, he was not a fool. He knew that Philip hit that guy to protect him. “If you meet such people again, just fight them and don’t worry about unnecessary things. You don't want to fight because you’re afraid of losing the right to enter the town, but you’re my brother from now on. “I can take care of your wine supply, and we can find other ways to make money. You don’t have to waste your efforts and live under someone else's roof anymore,” Philip said arrogantly, not taking these people seriously at all. Hearing that, Ronan nodded with
