Wynn watched as Ian trotted over while sweating profusely. It seemed as if he was about to meet someone important. Furthermore, at this moment, Ian actually reached out his hand to Philip. With a face full of utmost respect, he said, “Mr. Clarke, I’m finally meeting you. I rushed here especially for this.” Mr… Mr. Clarke? Wynn’s jaw dropped open as she stared at Philip incredulously! What was going on here? Ian Sawyer was known as the person in charge of Milanelson Angel investment Group. Now, he was actually speaking in such a respectful manner to Philip. Moreover, he referred to Philip as Mr. Clarke! “Phil… Philip, what’s going on here?” Wynn was flustered, and her eyes were wide in shock. Ian quickly greeted Wynn, “Madam Johnston, hello, I’m here to see Mr. Clarke. The 100 million investment for Seaton Trading Company was agreed by Mr. Clarke just now.” It really was him! Wynn could no longer stay calm. She stared at Philip with bright eyes and asked, “Philip
Seth also laughed as he said, “Jacey, let’s go. Why are you wasting time with people like this? They’re just making a fool of themselves.” Ian was livid! He had never met anyone like this before. They dared to treat President Clarke and himself so rudely! “Hold it right there!” Ian roared, pointing at those people. He then shouted, “Apologize to Mr. Clarke at once. Otherwise, I’ll make you understand the consequences of offending Mr. Clarke!” Ian was very angry. He had observed Philip’s expression right from the start, and he showed no signs of stopping his actions. That meant tacit approval. Besides, there was also anger burning in Philip’s eyes. He had tolerated enough. Jacey and her family were too impudent. They needed to be taught a lesson. “Apologize? You’re asking us to apologize to this piece of trash?” Jacey turned around and asked quizzically. That look in her eyes was as if she was looking at an idiot. “Do you know who I am?” Jacey continued asking with a t
Philip looked at the complicated expressions on everyone’s faces and grinned broadly. “Initially, I didn’t want to say anything, but since things have progressed this far, there’s no need to hide it any longer. That’s right. I’m the President Clarke you’re talking about, the big boss behind Milanelson Angel Investment Group.” Uproar! Philip’s words were like an explosion that set off stormy waves in everyone’s hearts! He was that President Clarke! He was worth hundreds of billions! Holy crap! Wynn looked sideways at Philip, her mind full of questions. Philip was actually the big boss behind Milanelson Angel Investment Group. What else was he hiding from her? On the other hand, Jacey, Seth, and the rest were stunned silly. They were at a loss about how to respond. They felt constipated. A good-for-nothing toad had transformed into a prince sought after by everyone! This was f*cking inconceivable! Jacey was in total denial and disbelief. However, the reality w
At this moment, Martha had lost her arrogance. She never dreamed that Philip would be the big boss of Milanelson Angel Investment Group. He was worth hundreds of billions! Mamma mia! Was her son-in-law really that rich? His family had gone bankrupt, right? What the hell was happening now? At this time, Amelia nudged Martha in the arm and whispered, “Martha, no wonder Philip didn’t care about the villa. So it turns out that he’s this rich?” Martha was also very nervous and puzzled. She dared not look at Philip. Philip smiled coldly, glanced at the crowd, and said a few words to Ian next to him. He then left with Wynn. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after Philip left. The atmosphere just now was too oppressive. Everyone chose not to mention what happened just moments ago. As for dinner, no one was interested anymore. It was just too shocking! They would never forget the scene just now. Philip took Wynn out of the housing area and said directly, “What do
Philip sneered internally as he noticed Martha’s impatient look. What a true display of familial emotions indeed. “Hey, stop playing hard to get and just tell me.” Martha could hardly wait to find out. “What if I say I have trillions?” Philip said with a half-smile. Trillions? Martha was startled for a brief moment before her expression chilled. What did Philip mean? Was he taking her for a fool? Trillions of bullsh*t! However, Martha could not display her impatience. After all, sitting in front of her was the big boss of Milanelson Angel Investment Group. Even if he did not have hundreds of billions as rumored, he must have at least tens of billions, right? This kid was actually so rich! “What nonsense are you talking about? Tell me honestly, how much do you really have?” Martha patiently asked. Philip chuckled as he got up and said, “I have something else to do.” After that, he turned around and went out. Here, Martha and Amelia watched as Philip left.
A deep voice sounded behind Martha. She got such a fright that she choked on a mouthful of water, coughed violently, and stood up in a panic while asking, “What… What’s the matter?” Standing at the top of the stairs, Philip walked down and stared at Martha coldly. He asked, “Did you enter my bedroom just now?” Of course, Martha would never admit it. She said, “No, of course not. Why would I enter your bedroom?” After that, she abruptly raised her voice and said, “Oh, I think Anne went into your bedroom this morning for cleaning duties. What’s wrong? Did you lose something? I already told you that Anne isn’t a good person. She stays here and lives off of us. Now, she’s even resorted to stealing!” Martha tried her best to put all the blame on Anne. Philip glared at Martha before turning around and leaving. Taking advantage of the time when Philip was upstairs, Martha quickly ran into Anne’s room to find a place to hide the jade ring. After thinking about it, she placed it o
Philip was livid! Martha was still unrepentant! She even resorted to things like stealing and framing others. Anne also cried tears of anger and felt extremely aggrieved. She stood at the door with tears pouring down her face. Philip squeezed the back of Martha’s neck, dragging her into the living room from Anne’s bedroom before throwing her on the ground! Thud! Martha stumbled and landed heavily on her bum! Severe pain! At this moment, Martha felt that her tail bone was broken. She sat on the ground with her face flushed, staring at Philip. Then, she cursed fiercely, “Philip, what are you doing? I’m your mother-in-law. How dare you treat me like this? Do you believe that I’ll Wynn about this? I want you to get a divorce!” Martha acted as if she had nothing to lose and still put on airs. However, Philip was very angry. He walked up, raised his leg, and kicked Martha on her shoulder before saying coldly, “What I hate the most is framing someone for a crime they d
“What happened to you?” Charles asked. Martha immediately howled and complained, “Ah, what do you think? I was beaten by Philip! How dare he treat me this way? You’re my husband, so do something about this!” Martha finally found her support, and now she was acting like a three-year-old, venting all her grievances and dissatisfaction. Charles also looked helpless as he asked, “Why did he beat you for no reason? Did you do something to provoke him?” Martha rolled her eyes around and said hesitantly, “No… I didn’t.” At the sight of her, Charles was sure she did something to offend Philip. Otherwise, Philip would not have been so heavy-handed. Therefore, he got up directly, ignored Martha, and left with some words, “Do as you please. After what happened today, haven’t you realized it already? Philip is no longer a good-for-nothing!” When Martha recalled what happened at the Green family, she felt chills up her spine. Philip was really different now. Back to Philip’s side.
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
“I won’t be joining your guild, but I don’t mind being a spectator. At least I can watch the fun. I know that you’re quite strong, so you don’t need me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I don’t think you’ll face a problem.” Philip smiled indifferently, quite confident that nothing much would happen. The overall strength of the Celestial Palace had improved significantly, so they really had nothing to worry about. Jamie was relieved to hear that. In that case, he could rest assured.… The guild competition officially kicked off, and everyone was ready to battle it out. The battles were not something that simply required strength to resolve. Occasionally, the competitors required tactics too. As Alain was feeling anxious, his reinforcement finally arrived at the scene. The hooded man turned up with some potions, ready to carry out his task. “Hey, you’re finally here. I thought I wouldn’t see you again.” Alain was worried. He knew that he was in a precarious situati
“Father, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!” Hogster sat by Alain’s bedside and asked in a panic. Hogster would not have been worried about Alain in the past, but things were different now. They were facing various crises. Without his father to take care of things, they would be doomed. Alain coughed violently and fumbled around for some healing pills before stuffing them into his mouth. The pills were not useful for his injuries but could at least relieve his pain. After Alain took the pills, Hogster hugged him excitedly. “This is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.” Alain almost died in anger over his son’s remark. “Hogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. You’ll make a name for yourself if you do this.” Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, “Father, although I’m quite strong, you can’t do this to me! How am I suppose
The rabbit had a very expressive face as if it was watching Alain make a fool of himself. “You’re quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, let’s hear them.” Hay dangled from Rabbit's mouth, and he seemed disdainful. Alain seemed conflicted at the sight of Rabbit and felt like he was looking at Philip instead. “Why are you here?” This rabbit was weird, and no one could control it. As far as Alain knew, the rabbit was famous in major cities and good at picking fights. “Of course, I’m here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?” After saying this, Rabbit jumped up and kicked Alain, who started spitting mouthfuls of blood. Alain was strong in his own right, so there was no way he would be helpless against an attack. However, he simply could not resist Rabbit and could only suffer a beating. The guild members in the surroundings closed their eyes, feeling sorry for their guild leader. No one thought they could win th
It seemed that Alain had overestimated his importance. “Hey, wait a minute. Don't be so hasty. I just want to think about how to make things better. You should know that things are not as simple as you think. If I agree so easily, others might target me.” The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alain’s flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. “I thought you wouldn’t consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.” The hooded man smiled calmly as if mocking Alain from the bottom of his heart. Although Alain was being ridiculed, he could not say a word. The hooded man held the reins, so Alain had no choice but to obey. “I don’t mind this cooperation, but we need to plan this thoroughly. If you can help my guild to make a comeback in this competition, I can agree to your condition. Since you found me, you should know the trouble my guild is facing right now. Philip and his people are messing with us, and the Celestial Palace is keepi
Alain was a smart man and quickly grasped the key point. It seemed that this man was here to help him. “Tell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If you’re here to help me, let’s have an open discussion.” Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. “I know that your guild is facing a crisis. I can help you with that. I can get rid of all your problems and also ensure that your guild scores victory. Although I can't guarantee that you’ll win the championship, taking one of the top spots won’t be a problem.” The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this man’s offer to help him. At a moment of crisis, it was every man for himself. Right now, no one was willing to help him or lend a helping hand. Alain thought that this was too much of a coincidence. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?” Alain knew that
