However, the only response she got was a kick! Philip kicked Martha cruelly until she stumbled. Then, he shouted grimly, “Martha Yates, don’t think too highly of yourself! You’re not worth anything in my eyes!” Martha got a fright. She did not expect Philip to make a move. She was both frightened and resentful as she cursed, “You dare to hit me? I’ll report you!” Smack! Her response was another slap, and another seven or eight slaps in a row! Philip went straight up to her, pulled Martha’s hair, and dragged her outside the villa as if he was dragging a dead dog, saying, “You still have 50 minutes. I hope you know what to do. If I don’t see Anne Foster back by then, we’ll settle all your past mistakes in one go!” Frost! Wrath! Martha truly felt the changes in Philip at this moment. She was scared and felt guilty, so she begged for mercy, “Don’t hit me anymore. I’ll go. I’ll go now.” After Martha exclaimed miserably, she tidied herself up with her face flushed. She
Cynthia had appeared behind Philip without him realizing it. Her voice was so sweet that a man would die from hearing it. As soon as Philip turned his head, he saw the glamorous iceberg beauty with her arms crossed. She was looking at him with a half-smile. She was gorgeous! Especially in such a bar under the illumination of the colorful lights, Cynthia was cast under a mesmerizing mood. “I’m a married man. How can I act so casually?” Philip flicked a glance in the direction of the woman who just left and spoke to Cynthia again, “If it’s someone like you, I might reconsider.” It was empty talk. He just wanted to figure out what Cynthia was up to. She had just asked him out before, and she made another appointment again. It seemed that the Larson family was really eager for this cooperation and to reenter the domestic market. “Wishful thinking.” Cynthia patted Philip’s shoulder, sat down next to him, and took a sip from the wine glass on the table. She did not seem
Cynthia had her own exclusive deck in the bar. When she was in a bad mood, she would come here and sit. On the side of the second floor near the window sill, the prosperous night view of Riverdale was in full display. At the bottom, one could see the dancing crowd in the popular bar. Normally, Cynthia rarely came here, so the place was vacant most of the time. The waiter would also vacate the deck, which was reserved for the boss all the time. “I didn’t expect a boss to get such treatment.” Philip was surprised. If Philip opened a bar, he would build an exclusive deck made of glass and put it in the center of the stage to be surrounded by wild dancing girls. That way, he could enjoy the figures and dance moves of each girl. However, that was just a thought. “You want to be your own boss?” Cynthia sneered, “Don't look at the superficial glamor of being a boss. In fact, there are a lot of things to worry about. It’s not as simple as you think.” Philip nodded in agreemen
Philip clearly felt Cynthia trembling slightly. Perhaps her emotions were too agitated, or she was suppressing her anger. “My dear sister, why don’t you say anything? Is it because I inherited the family company so you don't want to see me? I finally got the chance to come here. You should buy me a drink.” Jaden stood there smugly while holding a wine glass in his hand. He was ostentatiously looking at the friends beside him, which caused all of them to laugh uproariously. His sole purpose of coming here was to mock Cynthia Larson! What did it matter if she was the eldest daughter? His father liked him and even gave him full control of the family’s company. Cynthia was nothing but a b*stard child who no one wanted! Cynthia flicked a scornful glance at Jaden and said, “I’m not your sister. Stop calling me so fondly. It’s disgusting!” “It’s not right for you to say that. Although we don’t share the same mother, we do share the same father, after all. As the younger brothe
Jaden really enjoyed the changes in Cynthia at this moment. He allowed her to grab his arm before he suddenly pulled away and said nonchalantly, “Eh? Didn’t you just say I’m not welcomed here?” Cynthia wiped her tears and stabilized her emotions, but her trembling lips still betrayed her excitement at the moment. She asked, “What do you want?” Laughing, he turned his head and gestured to his companion before turning back to say, “My good sister indeed. I’ll say it directly then. I want you to leave the Larson family and sever all ties with them! Give me your share of the property as well!” Jaden was very upset because he accidentally learned that Cynthia still had her share of the family property. Moreover, his grandfather was actually secretly helping Cynthia and seemed to be preparing for the cooperation with Beacon. Was this an arrangement so that Cynthia could officially return to the fourth branch family and compete with him for the family property? Boom! Cynthia’s f
Philip approached Jaden in a few steps and observed him solemnly. He said, “She’s your sister, after all. Is it really appropriate for you to treat her this way?” At this time, the woman in the black tank top glanced at Philip disdainfully and said very arrogantly, “Who are you, little squirt? Our Jaden here has no time for you. Go play in the corner and mind your own business!” Jaden furrowed his brows. He had already noticed this man next to Cynthia earlier on. Her boyfriend? No, it did not look like it. Philip glared at the woman next to Jaden solemnly and said, “I’m talking to him. Who the hell are you?” “You! Watch your language!” When the woman heard Philip talking to her rudely, she naturally could not accept it. “Do I need you to teach me how to talk? As if you’re any better.” Having said that, Philip did not intend to continue chatting with them. He turned to Jaden and said with a cold expression in his eyes, “I finally understand. You’re here to find fault
The woman was not a match for Philip. After being dragged around by her hair and suffering two slaps, she immediately went dizzy! She kept struggling and shouting, waving her arms around like a dog digging for bones while trying to scratch Philip’s arms. Nevertheless, Philip just smacked her arms away lightly, then pulled her hair vigorously and continued to drag her around like a dog! Philip’s actions were crude. He was not holding back just because she was a woman and was brutal to the extreme! Under such overwhelming pressure, the woman could not escape at all. She held the roots of her hair with both hands, bent her back, and stepped on her high heels as she staggered to follow Philip around. She felt that her hair was almost being torn from the scalp! “Ah! Let go of me!” However, toward such a persistent and ignorant woman, Philip was impassive! He just continued to pull the woman’s hair like that and dragged her around! After walking a few laps on the second floor
The woman who got beaten held her head, her entire face red and swollen. She staggered to stand up on her high heels. She could barely hear what Philip was saying. “Let’s go!” Jaden glared at Philip vehemently before turning to Cynthia, threatening, “Cynthia, you’d better think it over carefully. I’ll give you three days. If you want to know your mother’s whereabouts, come and look for me!” “Get lost now!” Philip frowned and looked as if he was going to kick him again. Jaden stepped back in fright and almost fell. He gave Philip a sullen look, pointed his finger at the latter, and threatened, “You… Just you wait!” After that, he quickly left with his people. Watching as the group of people left the bar, Cynthia was relieved and said to Philip, “Thank you.” Of course, Cynthia knew that Jaden had deliberately come to find fault with her. If Philip had not stepped in, she really would not have known how to deal with Jaden. Three days… She needed to consider it carefully!
“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
