“The trending topics we hyped up regarding Beacon and Wynn Johnston have dropped from the top ten!” Leo Brady wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. “It must be done by Beacon’s PR department. Why are you panicking? Just hype the topics up again. Isn’t it just money? One million!” Robbie waved his hand as he said confidently. However, Beacon’s reaction was quite quick. It seemed that Wynn Johnston was not incompetent after all. Leo’s next sentence left Robbie stunned. “No, Mr. James, all the five trending searches fell out of the top 20. If we hype them up again, we need at least five million!” “What?!” Robbie panicked. He quickly sat up, clicked on the webpage, and browsed through the search engines. He was instantly shocked! He found that those topics were no longer trending. In the entire network, rumors about Beacon and Wynn were being deleted at an unbelievable rate. Terrifying! The opponent was savage! This method was impossible without the cooperation of
Philip was very calm. He chuckled and said, “Wynnie, what’s the matter? I just saw that the trending topics on the internet about the company have dropped. I had just wanted to ask if I could do something.” Philip did not admit it because he knew that Wynn did not want his help. She was a headstrong woman and wanted to solve the problem on her own. Wynn frowned and was obviously taken aback. If not Philip, then who? “Oh, I already know. The company’s PR department is dealing with it,” Wynn smiled and said, the expression on her face unnatural. “Okay, if you need anything, feel free to contact me. I can help you,” Philip said and hung up. Wynn crossed her arms over her chest as her face became more doubtful. She asked again, “Are you sure it’s not done by us?” The manager pushed his glasses and said, “No, the manipulator or team behind the scenes is very strong. The funds and connections are beyond our ability. With this work alone, they must have spent at least tens of mi
Robbie panicked. With a deep frown, he slammed the table and said, “Throw in more money! Increase the price to 20 million!” “Mr. James, we don’t stand a chance. The other party has already forked out 50 million. If we want to fight, we need this amount.” Leo held up one finger. 100 million! Robbie slumped on his chair. How could this be? Was Beacon’s public relations team so strong? They were practically fighting with their lives! 100 million. Could Robbie afford it? No! He needed to consult Hendricks. However, just five minutes ago in Theo’s conference room. Philip stood calmly in front of the large French window with his hands in his trouser pockets. He was watching the neon lights outside the window and the tall buildings. Behind him, Anna walked with graceful steps and handed him a cup of coffee while smiling charmingly. “Mr. Clarke, we’re ready to begin.” Philip took the coffee, turned around, and looked at the dozens of people in the conference room, a
He fully understood the power of the internet. He knew that the negative impact behind these ten hot search topics would be devastating! “Mr. James, something went wrong. We’re suspended!” Leo rushed in with his computer, extremely agitated. Of course, Robbie realized the reason. He glanced at Leo and said anxiously, “Quickly, drop the hot searches. No matter how much it costs, we must drop them!” In an instant, the entire mansion quickly became busy, and various phone calls came in and out. On the other hand, Robbie sat limply on the sofa with his eyes wide open. He was staring straight at the hot search topics, and every topic was labeled ‘hot’. Ten minutes passed. Not only did the hot searches not drop, but they were getting more and more popular! Leo reappeared at the door, his eyes blank. He felt like he was sobbing without tears. “Mr. James, it’s over. We… We can’t drop them! There are too many people. More than 100 big accounts, hundreds of millions of fans!” T
“Mr. Clarke, we’re currently buying a large number of shares and acquiring Beaver Media regardless of the price. At present, we already own 60% of Beaver Media,” ten minutes later, Anna reported. Now, Beaver Media’s stock prices had plunged because of the scandals. However, some people still refused to sell. “That’s too little. I want everything. Who refused to sell?” Philip frowned. This was different from his expectations. “The other party is a cunning old fox in the business who seemed to have noticed something. We’ve doubled the price, but he still refused,” Anna said with a frown. “Hehe, money makes the world go round. Increase the price by five times. I don’t believe these old foxes will forgo this chance. I must take down Beaver Media. Anyone who dares to do anything to Wynn will suffer the consequences!” Philip said coldly and adamantly. In fact, this matter would be much easier if Old George was the one operating it. However, Philip did not want to make use of
Philip was in a dilemma. He could neither admit nor deny it. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, “I asked a friend to help. He has some connections and resources in the circle.” On the other end, Wynn was silent for a moment before saying, “Thank you.” Sure enough, it was Philip. However, was his friend really that amazing? According to the colleagues from the PR department, this person was formidable with powerful methods! “I want to thank him in person. Please arrange it for me,” Wynn suddenly said. This time, Philip was flustered as he quickly declined. “Well, he’s not in Riverdale but Capital City. Maybe next time I’ll treat him.” Wynn was too persistent. “Well, okay then, but you must thank him for me. He did me a great favor this time,” Wynn said gratefully, “By the way, how much did it cost? Let me know and I’ll wire it back to him.” Philip smiled helplessly. It was still their money in the end. “Okay, I’ll find out later. Oh yes, I have something to d
Robbie was so angry that he had smashed several computers. At this time, the receptionist ran in, panting and saying, “Oh no, Mr. James, someone’s forcing their way in and wants to see you!” “What’s there to see? Find someone to get rid of them! Can’t you see that I’m busy?!” Robbie shouted angrily. The receptionist said timidly, “But we can’t stop them. They’ve already forced their way in.” Robbie raised his head and stared at her angrily. Then, he got up and said, “Who the hell is here to see me at this hour?” The receptionist shook her head and said hesitantly, “They didn’t say.” “F*ck!” Robbie simply said gruffly, “Get some people to stop them and drive them away. I’m not seeing them!” After that, Robbie stopped talking. Then, he sat on the sofa while smoking a cigarette. “Mr. James, could it be related to Beacon?” Leo suddenly said. Beacon? Robbie quickly sat up. “It can’t be. The PR in Beacon is rubbish. Besides, it’s already so late. Who the hell could it
Robbie’s eyes were sullen as he stared at the dozen or so people who had suddenly broken in! Especially the young man who took the lead. He was so young, it was ridiculous! Not only that but the aura he exuded terrified Robbie! A domineering spirit? There was this illusion. In just an instant, however, Robbie regained his clarity. With angry sparks in his eyes, he shouted, “Who are you? Who let you in?! Get out!” This group of barbarians dared to break into his mansion. They were too b*llsy! “Mr. James, they’re the ones who wanted to see you.” The receptionist quickly called someone to drive them out. If Mr. James was angry with her, she would be in for it tonight. Even her knees would suffer. The receptionist trembled as she recalled the lashing Robbie had given her before. However, Philip simply dug his ear with his thumb, blew at it, and said disdainfully, “Son, have you already forgotten Daddy so soon?” Too pretentious! Digging his ear with his thumb. Ma
“You’re right. The mermaid is such a mysterious creature. How can anyone cure its poison?” Stanley smiled wryly, feeling sorry for himself. “Philip, you have to find a way to save my father. I’ll do anything for you if you can save him!” Yule grabbed Philip’s shoulders with agitation. He begged Philip and almost knelt at his feet. In Yule's opinion, Philip was an omnipotent and powerful existence. There was nothing he could not do. Likewise, Aslan and the others shared the same thought. Therefore, they were surprised when Philip said that he could not save Stanley. Philip sighed. In the past, he had been to places of a lower civilization where the natives were not very strong. He could do whatever he wanted and no one could do much to him even if they wanted to. However, Philip was not familiar with places of a higher civilization. Even Rabbit only knew a little and was hesitant to speak. Hence, Philip was not confident he could save Stanley. “Maybe that creature came fro
“Let’s stop making wild guesses and wait for Yule's father to explain. This creature doesn’t belong to this continent, so no one knows what’s going on.” Philip reached out and gently touched the scales in amazement. He felt that something was wrong with this mermaid. With that touch, he found that the mermaid’s scales were better than those of a dragon. Philip once found a dragon scale by chance, but the dragon scale was not as tough as the mermaid's scales. Moreover, the mermaid's scales could change into various shapes, which was amazing. “If the scales are used to make a weapon, it’ll definitely be the best treasure. Not only can it attack and defend, but also…” Before Philip could finish his words, he heard Yule's father coughing violently. He seemed in pretty bad shape. “Rascal, go and look at the fish. She’s not an ordinary fish but a mermaid I found by chance! According to ancient records, there are many similar creatures in the world of the gods, and they're a force
Almost everyone knew about the condition of Yule's father, and most of them were there to watch the fun. When Yule and the others appeared, some people could not wait to start taunting him. “Oh, you’re such a good son. Your father is already in this state, but you’re still in the mood to fool around outside. You should start preparing for your father’s wake!” “The miracle doctor has given a diagnosis, saying that your father has only a few more days to live. Stop wasting time and start preparing for the funeral!” Everyone mocked Yule, who was respected simply because of his father’s position. Now that Yule's father was dying, no one wanted to show him that respect anymore. Some people even planned to steal things from Yule’s house! With no one else to back him up, everyone thought that Yule did not deserve to stay in that luxurious house anymore. Hearing everyone’s taunts, Yule was so angry that he trembled all over, but now was no time to argue. He had to find out his fath
Very soon, everyone left the King’s Ruins. Philip had taken care of the danger, so they just had to collect the treasures. Yule and his team were grateful to Philip and flattered him along the way. After all, they would not have been able to leave the place alive so easily if not for Philip. The King’s Ruins were still dangerous even though they did not face any monsters head-on. They knew they managed to avoid most dangers because of Philip. At this moment, Yule’s communicator vibrated. Only his close family members had his contact, so Yule immediately felt a bad premonition. He walked to the corner with the communicator and spoke anxiously. It seemed that he had encountered some big trouble. Philip waited for Yule to return to the team without a word. Ten minutes later, Yule returned to the team. He looked very depressed as if he had encountered a big problem. Philip noticed his reaction but did not take the initiative to approach him. He knew that Yule would approach h
“Philip, look, I solved half the problem for you. The rest is up to you.” After saying this, Yule laughed triumphantly, blatantly disregarding Mason’s cold glare. Mason frowned and looked at Philip with apprehension. He could not verify Philip’s story, but if Philip was telling the truth, he would have lost the bet again. “Get out of our sight. We've wasted a lot of time because of you. Don't blame us for attacking you if you stay here any longer!” Aslan had a hot temper and kicked Mason when he noticed Mason's hesitance. Mason fell to the ground miserably and looked at Philip with murderous intent. “Let’s go and stop wasting our time here!” After saying this, Mason took the lead and ran away, unwilling to stay here a second longer. Philip’s strong power deterred him greatly, and Philip was not afraid of Sienna at all, which crushed Mason’s final confidence. Mason was best at using other people’s influence, but it was on the premise that others were willing to bow down to
Mason frowned at Aslan but did not respond. Philip said, “This guy has become Sienna’s underling. He’s here to find the Binary Herb for Sienna, which coincides with our purpose. Now, he wants me to hand it over or he’ll ask Sienna to kill me. I’m very scared,” Philip said sarcastically and could hardly contain his laughter. Hearing that, everyone was startled before bursting into laughter. They had been with Philip through thick and thin, so they knew who Sienna was. “No way, this guy is using Sienna to threaten Philip. Is he kidding?” “I’m sure he’ll be scared out of his wits if he finds out what really happened. This is ridiculous.” Philip’s men scoffed at Mason’s arrogance. Yule’s men were puzzled, wondering what was going on. “Before this, Philip almost killed a snake monster named Sienna. Unexpectedly, the snake monster escaped and found herself a human servant. On top of that, this human servant thinks so highly of himself as if he's very proud of his identity.” L
“Go and grab that thing for me. We have to get hold of it! Don’t let that guy steal our treasure. And remember to find the thing I want!” Mason ordered his men in a panic. Mason was startled by Philip’s speed of collecting things. Everyone quickly sprang into action. They were not fools. They would be penalized if they did not get things done. They raced against time to grab the treasures from Philip, but Philip was unfazed. He knew that all the treasures would fall into his hands in the end. Besides, the piles of treasures simply contained some pills and other stuff, nothing much. “Sir, we didn’t find the Binary Herb.” At this time, someone stepped forward to report their findings. Everyone was anxious when they realized they could not find the most important Binary Herb. Mason scowled at the bad news. “Impossible. The Binary Herb must be around somewhere.” The location of the Binary Herb was marked on his map. It had to be nearby. Mason looked around with the map
“Of course, an ignorant guy like you wouldn’t know what’s going on. This place is full of danger and had a powerful monster as a guardian. You don’t know anything because you’re unworthy.” Mason jerked his chin smugly, clearly proud that he knew some inside information. “If you beg me, I’ll consider going with you to deal with this monster.” In Mason’s opinion, Philip was no match for this monster. The bloodstains had to be from some weak monsters killed by Philip. According to his understanding, the legendary guardian snake monster was very powerful, not something ordinary people could deal with. “Don't you know why you’re here?” Philip said smugly. He knew that Mason was nothing but a pawn. Philip had seen through everything and was full of scorn for Mason’s nature. Mason was horrified that Philip knew him so well. “How did you know? I've been keeping this secret very well. No one should know about it. Did that snake woman tell you? That's impossible. She hates you very
Seeing this scene, Rabbit applauded excitedly. “You must be dreaming if you think you can fight Philip!” Rabbit said excitedly. Philip quickly killed the snake. He was surprised to find that the snake only had half of its body. He thought half of the snake was trapped in the stone, but it only had half a body left. “Did it grow from the stone?” Rabbit was shocked, wondering what was going on. “Something is wrong with this monster beast. It’s actually growing from the stone. How strange!” Philip was surprised by the strange discovery. “Indeed. It looks very strange, not like a good guy at all.” Rabbit was horrified and felt that the snake was more than met the eye. “Philip, look at this. Is it a description of this monster beast?” Rabbit looked at a huge stone tablet on the side in puzzlement. “Philip, look, I think this snake has something to do with that snake woman!” Rabbit was surprised to see what was written on the stone tablet and pulled Philip over for a look. The
