“Young Master, it’ll cost you 18 billion to buy Arc de Triumph as there are 50 branches throughout the entire country.”

On the other side of the line stood George before the floor-to-ceiling window. He was reading off the data report in his hand.

His secretary had gotten him a full list of Arc de Triumph’s assets and financial statements pretty much the moment Philip asked.

“I don’t care how many billions it costs, I want it bought.” Philip Clarke sounded evidently annoyed.

“Very well, Young Master,” George replied and made another call.

Instantly, numerous direct calls were made from Riverdale to Arc de Triumph’s headquarters in Capital City.

That night, a mysterious force began to operate secretly in Riverdale and Capital City.

By the side, Wesley stared coldly at Philip and mocked. “Oh? It has been so long since we met. I see your ability to lie through your teeth has gotten better. Purchasing Arc de Triumph? What a bold statement to make.”

    ‘Master Clarke?’Wesley was stunned. What a joke! ‘Master Clarke? This f*cking asshole?’Then, Philip stood forward. “That would be me. I’m Philip Clarke.” With that, he pointed a finger at Wesley and demanded, “From today onwards, this man is to be removed from Arc de Triumph. I don’t want to see him in any branch at all. Can that be done?” Zayn Yeager tensed. Glancing at Wesley from the corner of his eyes, he said, “I’m afraid not, Master Clarke.” He knew Wesley must have had a conflict with Philip Clarke.Yet to fire Wesley with just a word, that was something Zayn Yeager could not do. Even after disregarding the fact that doing so was against the rules of the hotel, Wesley Warren’s father was one of the hotel’s shareholders. That was a person worth a few hundred million! That itself was enough reason to stop him from firing Wesley. However, Philip’s next sentence shook everyone to their bones. “You might not know, but I’ve already purchased the entirety of Arc de

    Wesley Warren flushed a deep red! He had been humiliated! ‘How dare this piece of trash say such things? ‘How dare he threaten to throw me and dad out of Arc de Triumph?!‘Where did this idiot get his bravery from? ‘Fish Leong? ‘This was preposterous!’ “So Philip Clarke, does this mean that as long as I’m not thrown out of Arc de Triumph by the end of today, I’ll hear a ‘Master Wesley’ from your mouth as you kneel before me?” Wesley was pissed. The corners of his lips lifted into a sneer as he spoke. Perhaps, all that Philip had left was his ability to bluff. “Slim chance. Hardly probable.” Philip did not want to entertain Wesley either, considering his goal here was to have dinner. He never planned to stir trouble, but the other had done nothing but humiliate him the entire time. To turn a blind eye would be a disgrace to his identity as the heir to his family’s fortune! ‘So Wesley Warren wants to be arrogant? ‘So he thinks he holds the higher ground? ‘Very w

    Hearing that, Samuel froze in shock! ‘There has been a transfer of Arc de Triumph’s shares! ‘Amounting to 20 billion! ‘So Zayn Yeager was speaking the truth when he called just now? ‘All 100 percent of the shares? ‘No way! ‘We’re talking about a whole 20 billion! ‘Who the f*ck swallowed the entire Arc de Triumph in one gulp? ‘Not even those on the Orienta’s list of millionaires can buy it all in one night!’Fear crept up on Samuel. He immediately recalled how Zayn mentioned something along the lines of Wesley having a conflict with Mr. Clarke! ‘Crap! I should call and ask.’ Shortly, Zayn received a call from Samuel. “Mr. Warren? Is something of the matter?” “Pass the phone to Mr. Clarke.” Samuel was restless. Despite not understanding the other’s intentions, Zayn passed the phone to Philip anyway. “Master Clarke, Mr. Warren wishes to speak to you.”Philip took the phone and from the other end came the baritone voice of a middle-aged man. “Mr. Clarke?

    “Samuel Warren! Don’t just call me when you feel like it and make me clean up after you! This is a difficult time right now. You could put me in danger for this!” From the other end of the line was the voice of a pissed and irked man. Samuel was far from angry and replied in a flattering tone, “Johann, my brother! Something came up, you see. I can only turn to you, Brother.” Johann Sullivan was Samuel’s source of power in Riverdale. It was thanks to Johann that he was where he was today. As a result, he had paid a considerable amount of respect in return. It was just that Johann had specified not to contact him unless something great occurred.Johann begrudgingly left his bed and wore his presbyopic glasses. “What happened?” Samuel was not a horrible person. He knew the rules, so something big must have happened for him to call him this late at night. “Something’s happened to the company, Johann. There’s a young man by the name of Philip Clarke who wants to buy our com

    Slap!A loud smack rang through the air. At this instant, Samuel’s eyes were wide open as his face flared red with anger. He pointed a finger at Wesley and shouted furiously, “Shut up! You’re in no position to speak here. Scram!” He blamed himself for this. He had spoiled his son too much and that was what cultivated this arrogant and defiant attitude of his.“Dad, are you crazy! Why did you hit me?” Wesley felt extremely wronged as he turned and glared at Philip resentfully before grumbling, “What the f*ck did you do? Why is my dad speaking to you like this!”Philip said nothing.Samuel, on the other hand, moved first. His hand went for Wesley’s cheek once more as he yelled, “Wesley Warren, shut your d*mn mouth! How can you speak to Mr. Clarke with that tone? Do you know that the ground you’re standing on now belongs to Mr. Clarke? The Arc de Triumph Group is now under Mr. Clarke. Now hurry up and apologize to Mr. Clarke!” Wesley was completely stunned. The Arc de Triump

    Samuel’s expression darkened even more after seeing how overbearing the other party was. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, “Mr. Clarke, please forgive where you may. There’s no need to be so extreme.” Philip stared back quietly. Samuel could not hold himself back anymore and lashed out in rage. “Philip Clarke, don’t you dare push your luck! I have been dealing in Riverdale for many years now. My net worth is beyond hundreds of millions! The people I know are those you absolutely can’t afford to provoke! If you know what’s best for you, leave this as it is, otherwise, I’ll be fighting you to the very end!” He was truly enraged. He had never suffered such an injustice in his life before. Even after taking a step back, the other party still refused to yield a step. However, Philip remained silent. “Alright, just wait and see!” With that, Samuel dug out his phone and dialed Johann’s number. “Brother Johann, you must help me out! There’s a kid who’s determined to mess wi

    The crowd dispersed and left the hotel. Philip found a corner to smoke a cigarette so that he could relieve the pressure in his chest. However, at that moment, a familiar voice sounded not far behind him.“Philip, what are you doing here?” Philip turned around and saw a puzzled Wynn walking toward him with her bag slung over her shoulder.The look on her face showed that she was displeased.Smoking again!Philip quickly stubbed out the cigarette butt and greeted her with a sly smile. “Oh, I’m here for a company dinner.”Philip was anxious and worried as he thought back to when Wynn contacted his other phone before. He was worried that his true identity had been revealed. Wynn walked closer to him and rolled her eyes as she asked, “Where’s Mila?”“Someone from my company is bringing her. I’m meeting her in a bit,” Philip replied with a chuckle. Suddenly, another familiar figure appeared before him.“Philip, I didn’t expect to see you here.” Juan had just parked his ca

    Crazy!Philip must have gone mad!Was he allowed to enter that place?Did he not see the parking lot filled with BMW motorcycles? What was he planning to do?Wynn quickly hurried behind Philip, worried that he would do something stupid.Philip, on the other hand, was filled with annoyance. He strode toward the parking lot and pushed away one of the motorcyclists standing beside his bike. Then, he snatched the helmet away from his hands. Everyone naturally turned their gazes toward him. With a helmet in one hand, Philip stretched out both arms as a conceited sneer spread across his face. He gestured to the parking lot full of BMW motorcycles and roared at Wynn who was running toward him and Juan who was standing in the corner, “Wynn, let me tell you this. All the BMW motorcycles in this very parking lot belong to me, Philip Clarke! I bought them all!”His voice was as loud as rolling thunder as it echoed in the parking lot.“And this, the Arc de Triumph Hotel, is mine! I

    “You seem stronger than Killer Bee. You might've stood a chance of winning if you had gone against him,” Philip taunted. Philip raised his head and took the punch without breaking a sweat. “If you want to steal from me, I'm sorry to tell you that you found the wrong target. If you just want to make friends with me, I’m more than happy to accept.” Philip grabbed the guy’s fist and threw him out with disdain, not taking him seriously at all. The guy did not expect that he would be tossed aside like a piece of trash and started panicking. Before he passed out, he only remembered that Philip easily dealt with him without breaking a sweat. He did not know what happened later, but he knew that Philip was so strong that he could kill him in a split second. If he could turn back time, he would never go after Philip again. Other people were shocked to see Philip’s strength. “He tossed the guy out so easily. This is terrifying. How did he do it?” “That’s impossible. That guy is p

    Philip walked on the road leisurely, feeling honored to have so many people stalking him. “I’m surprised that I could attract so many people.” Philip sighed in amazement as he walked. Soon, he came across several good large inns and made his choice after some selection. He was not short of money, so he did not waste time on this. “I’m going to fully reserve this inn for the time being. I don't want to see other people on my territory, so your job is to keep irrelevant people out.” Philip negotiated with the innkeeper and received the other party's consent. After all, Philip’s offer was too good to refuse. They quickly reached an agreement, and Philip obtained the right to use the inn at a good price. At this time, a bunch of people surrounded Philip with disdain. “You’re quite bold to come out alone.” “It’s very interesting to see someone walking around with so many treasures on hand.” Everyone mocked with disdainful smiles on their faces. Philip shook his head helple

    Very soon, someone sent Philip his rewards. The onlookers were surprised to see Philip receiving so many precious treasures. Some were happy while others were sad. Some envied Philip's treasures while others hankered after them. After all, not everyone could receive such rewards. Only practitioners who performed well had the opportunity to get these rewards that belonged to the advanced list. Although they could not do anything to Philip for the time being, Philip would leave Deadly Arena eventually. As long as they did not take action in Deadly Arena, no one would care what happened to Philip after that. “You can stay if you want to keep fighting. I’ll take a look around and find a place for us to stay,” Philip said to his people. These little guys had not shown off their strength yet, so they were sure to stay. Sure enough, everyone nodded. It was time for them to take the spotlight. Aslan and the others chose to stay. No one would miss the opportunity to show off. Philip

    Some people saw Philip's actions before he confounded everyone, so they were terrified. “What's going on? Has that guy gone crazy? I just saw him standing there motionless, waiting for Killer Bee to attack him.” “I would've moved ages ago. Killer Bee is very powerful. He was clearly lurking around, waiting for the chance to attack Philip, but Philip didn’t even try to dodge. Is he really that confident in his strength?” “It’s over. I bet tens of thousands of energy stones on Philip. Everything will go down the drain if he loses the match.” Everyone sighed, hoping Philip would not let them down. However, more people thought that Philip would definitely die this time. At his level, it was simply impossible for him to face Killer Bee's strongest sneak attack. The old men looked at Philip's action with excitement and anticipation, hoping that Philip would be killed immediately. “It’d be great if he died. We can recoup all our losses in one fell swoop.” “It’s good if we can

    Killer Bee had never thought that Philip could compete with him. He scowled. “Since you want to die, I’ll grant your wish!” Killer Bee was furious to see Philip’s strength. In his opinion, Philip was nothing more than a rookie and had no right to enter the advanced list. Why was he so strong? He thought it was unfair and wanted to kill Philip. “You’ll die now!” Killer Bee was very unhappy. Philip was very arrogant and was just wasting his time. The sword in his hand turned into a spike and Killer Bee jumped into the sky. He sped up and vanished into thin air. Everyone was shocked. No one could see Killer Bee and wondered what was going on. Philip caught his trace and simply stood there, motionless. “Hehe, is this little trick all you have? You think too much.” Philip shook his head helplessly. This guy was really stupid. “You’re very bold to look down on me like this. Do you really think you’re so powerful and undefeatable?” Killer Bee roared in anger, his voice ech

    Even people near the top of the list dared not mess with Killer Bee for no reason. The technique he practiced could kill with one move. He also had a method that could harm both himself and his opponent. Only someone like him would practice such a detrimental move. No one would fight to die, but Killer Bee simply wanted to kill. Such an opponent was very problematic, and Killer Bee was notorious for killing many people. Almost everyone believed that Philip would lose this match and might even lose his life. Philip overheard the conversations around him and was surprised to hear the other party’s identity. However, he had nothing to fear. Instead, he felt very excited and even looked forward to it. He was not only taking part in the match just to make a name for himself. He wanted to encounter various opponents and gauge their strength too. Coming to Deadly Arena meant that he was not afraid of risking his life, and he could learn many things he had never encountered before.

    This person gave Philip a bad feeling. He was obviously no longer on the rookie list. Philip easily defeated the three rookies earlier, so the quality of his upcoming opponents would increase rapidly. Philip felt that the guy standing quietly in front of him could completely conceal his presence and mask his existence. Moreover, the other party looked ordinary. Even if Philip carefully observed his appearance, it was difficult to remember what he looked like. He also exuded an affectionate vibe as if he were a close friend, which was hard to describe. Something had to be wrong. Philip stood on guard. The friendlier the person, the more terrifying he was behind the scenes. “This guy is more than meets the eye. He must be very strong.” Philip sighed uneasily, wondering what was wrong with that guy. Someone like that had to be terrifying. Philip was not a careless guy. He would pay attention to this. “I’m surprised to see an opponent like you.” The young man was surpri

    The old men were about to go crazy. They looked at Philip in disbelief and felt that Philip was not normal. Philip sighed inwardly. He thought highly of Dodo and wanted to recruit him. The people who bet their money on Philip were shocked. They were so lucky to have won the bet by fluke. Those who bet their money on Dodo were horrified. No one could believe that the undefeatable Dodo would lose so badly. The winners jumped with joy and excitement. They wished they could hug Philip and give him a big kiss. “This is wonderful. I won a lot of money this time. That guy is really amazing, much better than I thought.” “I recouped all my losses this time. I can’t believe it.” Everyone said cheerfully, paying no heed to the losers at all. “I knew we should believe in Philip. He’s stronger than I thought.” “I think he should be first on the rookie list. Although he has only fought three matches so far, the level of the fights is simply out of this world. He defeated his oppone

    Dodo planned to unleash more dragons to surround Philip, but Philip froze the whole platform instead. He would have been seriously hurt if he had not backed away in time. “These dragons of yours are nothing but several worms to me. Since we have the chance to meet today, let me show you what a real ice dragon looks like.” After saying that, a huge dragon appeared between Philip and Dodo. The dragon summoned by Philip was better than Dodo’s dragon in terms of both appearance and size. Dodo saw this scene and quickly unleashed his dragon to meet Philip’s attack. The dragon under Philip’s command became more excited instead of fearful. It roared and swallowed Dodo’s dragon in one gulp, greatly improving its strength in the process. Dodo was dumbfounded by this scene. He never dreamed that Philip could summon a hundred-meter-long ice dragon at will, and the dragon was so powerful too. 'How is this possible? How could he summon such a giant dragon?' Dodo stared at Philip in disb
