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
Bam! Philip snapped his fingers and immediately, two middle-aged men walked in through the door. One was in a black suit with a greasy head, and the other was in a flowered shirt, looking smug. “Mr. James.” The two of them smiled at Robbie in unison. “Mr. King, Mr. Wand, why are you here?” Robbie was stunned and flustered! They were two of the company's three major shareholders, each accounting for 15 percent of the shares. Mr. King and Mr. Wand laughed, walked past Robbie, and stood directly in front of Philip respectfully. They bowed and greeted, “Mr. Clarke.” Philip nodded as a sign of greeting. “Mr. King, Mr. Wand, what's the meaning of this?” Even if Robbie was confused, he could see that something was up. Impossible! Mr. Wand, the man wearing the flowered shirt, held his head high and said to Robbie impatiently, “Mr. James, we’re doing this for money. Mr. Clarke offered us five times the market price. Moreover, the entire network is condemning Beaver Media
Buy it all back again? What was the meaning of this?! Robbie was all the more baffled by Philip’s actions, but his instincts told him that he was being tricked. “Mr. James, your head has not been messed up by your wife, right? I said this is 100% of the shares of Beaver Media. I want you to buy it all back. According to the market price, Beaver Media is worth 300 million, so let’s round it up. You can give me one billion for the time being. Beaver Media is still your company and you’re still the largest shareholder. As such, I’m being very considerate, right?” Philip stood in front of Robbie, grinning. That smile seemed so calm and innocent. Robbie stared at that broad toothy grin and almost spat a mouthful of blood! F*ck! After rounding up, 300 million became one billion?! That was daylight robbery! This was going too far! “Mr. Clarke, why should I buy it all back? Beaver Media has such a bad reputation now. Besides, I don’t have money.” Robbie directly shook h
Robbie’s face turned dark as he stared at Philip with eyes full of hatred! “Haha, a threat? I’m sorry, it’s not a threat, it’s an order!” Philip said with an unquestionable tone. “Mr. Clarke, don’t take things too far! I’m not a weakling who you can bully at will! Even a rabbit will bite if it’s threatened! At worst, I’ll take you down with me! I still have a backer behind me!” Robbie was thoroughly annoyed, so he bit the bullet and said roguishly. He would not take this lying down. If he really bought the shares, there would be no turning back! “Your backer?” Philip smiled calmly and said, “I look forward to it.” He did not care about Robbie James at all, because his target had always been the people behind him. Philip knew all along that Robbie was just a small potato and the person who was helping him in the background was the big fry! In other words, he was bait. Since he was going to settle this once and for all, then he had to completely eliminate the grass from
“Madam Johnston, Mr. Worley from the medical association branch office is here in person.” Mindy hurried to the director's office with a look of nervousness and anxiety. “Mr. Worley?” Wynn was startled and quickly got up to greet him. “Haha, Madam Johnston is a strong career woman indeed. You’re still dealing with the company’s affairs so late at night. I took the liberty to disturb you. You don’t mind, do you?” Just as Wynn was about to get up, Hendricks had already rushed in with Sirius and his assistant. She heard his voice before seeing him. “Mr. Worley, you’re too kind. I was just about to pay you a visit.” Wynn smiled before hurrying over to shake hands with him. Then, she invited Hendricks to sit down and started preparing tea. Hendricks took a quick glance and was shocked by Wynn’s beauty. No wonder there were rumors in Riverdale’s medical industry that Beacon had a chairwoman the level of a goddess. Seeing her today, she really was extraordinary. No, to
Wynn was very upset. She did not expect Muriel to hold such grudges. To get back at her, she actually used her husband's authority and canceled Beacon's qualifications Hateful! This woman was really vindictive! “I know her,” Wynn said bitterly. Hendricks immediately got up and said, “In that case, do take heed. I’m sorry I can’t do anything about this. Regarding the cancellation of Beacon’s qualification, I will hold a press conference tomorrow to make a public announcement. Starting at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, all your company's operations will be suspended.” With that said, Hendricks turned to leave. Wynn quickly stopped him and said with a smile, “Mr. Worley, can you give us a few days’ grace? I’ll find a way to get in touch with President Smyth.” Hendricks looked at his watch and said, “I’m sorry, Madam Johnston. You still have 12 hours to get in touch with President Smyth. However, I have to remind you. President Smyth has a personal habit of switching off his
After hearing this, Manny was furious! “What? Who do you think you are? You dare to threaten Mr. James? I’ll kill you right now!” Manny roared. He was paid to do this, so naturally, he needed to do it properly. Otherwise, he would disappoint Robbie who took care of him and his men. Therefore, Manny wanted to teach Philip a painful lesson! “Idiot!” Philip just sneered. This Manny who stood in front of him was no different from an idiot. He raised his hand and punched Manny in the face! This Manny was a well-known scoundrel in this area. He had practiced martial arts since he was young. Therefore, after roaming the streets for years, he had never encountered any tough opponents. That was why he was valued by Robbie and did many nasty things for him in the dark. However! Bam! Manny only felt a gust of wind and before feeling as if his face had come into contact with an iron wall! That huge force smashed into his face heavily. Manny’s pupils shrank as his eyes almos
Fitz felt particularly bad at the thought that he failed to protect his people. He vowed to take revenge. People of other races shared the same thoughts. Everyone thought that their people had gone out to seek ways to leave but were met with an accident. Unexpectedly, they were harmed by the spider people, which was simply despicable and unacceptable. “You just need to sacrifice one more person for everyone to leave this dangerous place and lift the curse from us,” Weaver said. Everyone's eyes turned bloodshot at his words, shocked that Weaver would say that so openly. “Hehe, you’re really bold to perform a sacrifice. Why not use one of your own?” Fitz laughed and stared at Weaver. Weaver scowled. Of course, the idea crossed his mind, but the records stated that they had to use other races for sacrifice. Using their own people as sacrifice would void it, so they had to use others. This would not only reduce the other party’s manpower but also save a lot of effort. However,
Philip wanted to figure out what the spider people were up to. It looked like they had been planning this for a long time, which was terrifying. He had to let the others know about this. Everyone had the right to know. Moreover, the pitiful magpie woman was scared out of her wits. Philip had to bring her home. “Let's go back now. We’ll explore this place later. Do you want to stay here or go out with us?” Philip looked at Celeste curiously. He did not think she was brave enough to venture out. Sure enough, Celeste tugged at the corner of her clothes as she pondered. “I'll go out with you!” Celeste finally decided after much deliberation. Since she had decided to follow Philip, there was no point in hiding here anymore. She had to pluck up the courage. Celeste had lived in the forest for very long and had never gone out before, so she was curious about the outside world. “I want to see the outside world!” Celeste said nervously. Philip simply nodded without a word. The
At this point, Philip sprang into action. He appeared in front of the other party, catching them off guard. “Who allowed you to kill people for no reason?” The spider people were shocked by Philip’s sudden appearance. They were frightened to see someone there, and he was none other than the human who had strayed into this place by accident. The spiders panicked and wanted to run, but Philip quickly released Puffy. The spider people could not escape because of the curse placed on them and also because of Puffy's existence. The passage only allowed entry, not exit. When anyone stepped into that passage, they would not only come under Puffy’s attack but also suffer a gut-wrenching pain. They felt something was wrong when they tried to escape. Someone noticed Puffy approaching them and yelled in fear, “It’s that deadly thing!” Someone recognized Puffy and ran away screaming. They had no chance of winning against Puffy, so they had no choice but to run. Seeing someone running aw
Philip could tell that Celeste wanted to help, but she was too weak to do anything. “Don’t worry so much. Let’s wait and see what happens. If possible, we won’t stand by and do nothing. These people are simply outrageous.” Philip did not have a good impression of the spider people, and this incident made it worse. “Not bad!” Rabbit hopped onto Celeste’s shoulder excitedly. Ever since he found out that Celeste had no ability, he liked her even more. He liked people who had no combat power. Except for that extra eye, there was nothing strange about her. Besides, she was quite a beautiful woman, so Rabbit was fond of her. “Philip will take care of it. Don’t worry about it. He’s an outstanding man who fights for justice. You’ll have a good life if you follow Philip, especially since you have that ability but are powerless to take care of yourself. I’m sure you need someone to protect you,” Rabbit chattered away. Rabbit knew how special Celeste’s ability was. She would be of gr
Celeste seemed simple and kind, and after she told Philip everything she knew, Philip and Rabbit gradually changed their minds about her for the better. “We actually learned such a big secret this time. What a surprise!” Philip exclaimed. He followed Celeste to the altar, which was very far away. Before they reached the altar, they smelled a strong stench of blood. Philip frowned at this unexpected development. Rabbit covered his nose in surprise at the strong stench of blood. “Wait, I don’t think it’s human blood.” Philip sensed that the blood came from the few pitiful races. “I can smell it. Except for the spider people, I smell the blood of other races!” At this moment, a soft sound came from the side. Celeste quickly pulled Philip and Rabbit to hide in the corner. Celeste had lost the ability to be invisible, so she could only take Philip to hide in a panic. She knew that they could not expose themselves. “Someone is coming. Stay here and don’t do anything. You’ll f
“No one ever comes to my place. You must be outsiders.” Celeste was curious, wondering who Philip was. Celeste knew about the four unique races, but Philip’s appearance and form did not fit any of them. “You’re right. I’m an outsider. I wanted to know something, so I came to the forest. It’s best if you can give me an answer. I don’t intend to harm anyone. If you can answer my questions, I’ll leave and remove the curse on you as well,” Philip persuaded her. He felt that the woman was quite sincere, different from what he imagined. In that case, there was no need to make things difficult for her. Besides, he did not feel a murderous vibe in her, so she had probably never done anything bad. Philip had no reason to make things difficult for someone who liked to hide and sing. “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I know, but I don’t really know much. I usually stay in my own territory and have no contact with the outside world. Even the other races don't know of my existence.” Rabbit
Philip felt that there was no problem with his hearing. Someone was humming a song, and the tune sounded very strange and spooky in the dark forest. Rabbit frowned and nodded. He also heard the strange sound and was scared. “Who has nothing better to do but to sing here?” Rabbit nervously grabbed the corner of Philip's clothes, afraid that Philip would leave him behind. Philip shook his head. According to the others, no one would come here for no reason. Due to various dangers in the forest, they would only wander around the edge without seeking trouble in the depths. In that case, the abrupt singing voice was very strange, indeed. “Philip, don't be nervous. Stay calm.” Rabbit's voice was trembling. Although Rabbit kept telling Philip to stay calm, he was already freaking out, so scared that he nearly wanted to run away. Philip knew Rabbit’s character, so he did not comment. He simply observed the surroundings and listened carefully to the sound, which was so ethereal tha
Philip took Puffy along and quickly arrived in a forest where the other races usually hunted, so they should not face any danger here. As soon as Philip left, a woman appeared in the corner and looked in the direction where Philip left with a conflicted look on her face. “Should I follow him?” Ariadna had been left behind in the snake people’s village. She had no friends, and no one paid her any attention. Sometimes, they even displayed their ridicule and disdain for her. She did not get good treatment even though she was a junior from the outside world. In desperation, Ariadna decided to follow Philip. Unexpectedly, she saw Philip with a cute kid the next second. Ariadna was surprised to see that Philip had such a big and cute child. “Wait, that kid looks a little weird.” Due to the distance, Ariadna could not see what the kid looked like, but his color and body shape seemed different from that of normal people. After much deliberation, Ariadna decided to tag along, co
“I’ll look around and find out what’s going on. Don’t worry about me. Look for Ronan if anything crops up.” Philip decided to leave Ronan in charge. Ronan did not object. He knew that Philip wanted to train him. He rarely interacted with others, so he had poor social skills. He had improved with Philip’s help, but his skills were still nothing compared to Philip’s subordinates. He was deeply moved by the opportunity that Philip had given him. “Sure enough, heroes will emerge from the youth. You two will have a bright future!” Wren said excitedly. Philip did not comment. After a few pleasantries, he wandered around with Rabbit. Selma and her people had no time for Philip. They finally found their predecessors, so they had many questions to solve. Philip was most interested in getting to the bottom of this mysterious place. It felt more like a cage designed to trap them. It was devoid of rich energy and other resources suitable for them. What was the purpose of the person b
