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
“Mr. James, things have progressed this far. There’s no turning back now. We can only suffer the loss. He has gathered too much evidence against us. If these are exposed, we’ll go under for sure. At that time, we’ll really have no chance to make a comeback.” Leo said anxiously, “Mr. James, just agree to it for the time being. After that, you can look for your patron to take revenge for you and wipe out this Clarke person in one fell swoop! At that time, you’ll still be Mr. James!” Robbie thought about it for a while and finally lowered his head helplessly. He clenched his fist and said, “Go and invite him back.” Seeing that Robbie had agreed, Leo quickly ran out. “Mr. Clarke, Mr. James wants to see you!” Leo rushed out and shouted loudly, his tone subconsciously becoming extremely respectful. Seeing Leo, Philip frowned slightly and asked coldly, “Have you thought over it carefully?” “Yes. We agree to Mr. Clarke’s request,” Leo said with a smile. “Hehe, who does your Mr. J
After Philip left the mansion, he returned to the villa. He looked after Mila for a while before calling Wynn. “Wynnie, how are things? Is there a turnaround?” Philip asked in concern. Wynn tiredly said, “No, we’re still dealing with it. Is Mila asleep?” “She just went to bed. Should I pick you up?” Philip continued asking. “No, I'm afraid I have to work overtime tonight. You should go to bed too.” Wynn smiled. She deliberately took the time to answer this call. Philip frowned when he heard this and said worriedly, “You’re still pregnant. You shouldn’t be working so hard. Listen to me. I’ll pick you up. Just leave the company’s affairs to your staff. If they really can’t handle it, I’ll take care of it,” Philip said as he got up and put on his coat, ready to leave the villa. “No, I can still manage it. If I don’t handle this matter in person, the new board members will complain about it.” Wynn was also in a dilemma. After all, in this position, she would not be able to
Jamie was surprised by Philip’s easygoing reaction and immediately felt the gap between him and Philip. If Jamie were in Philip’s shoes, he would be worried, but Philip was confident instead. Jamie had a lot to learn from Philip. Jamie had no idea that Philip did not take Dennis seriously at all. Philip had too many capable people under his command. He was not concerned about Dennis at all. In comparison, Dennis could be considered the most useless person under him.… On the other hand, Rabbit arrived at the market. Rabbit was quite famous among the major families by now. As a non-human with a violent temper, he was in the center of attraction wherever he went. Someone tried to kidnap Rabbit once, but not only did he fail, but the person was also beaten badly. To this day, the kidnapper was still bedridden in the hospital. Rabbit’s notorious reputation had spread far and wide, and not just anyone could deal with him. At this time, many storytellers were at the tavern tal
People in seclusion would usually not receive any news from the outside world, so contacting them would be up to luck. Therefore, Lincoln's appearance was good news for the Hexa Guild. Now that the guild was under scrutiny, Lincoln's appearance would save them a lot of trouble. Lincoln stood on the spot, looking at the yard curiously. Philip had modified the yard, so it was full of energy. Any practitioner would feel the difference at once. Jamie and the others had discovered this fact but never asked out of courtesy. Everyone had their own secret. Maybe this was Philip’s secret. Lincoln closed his eyes and felt the abundant energy. He was reluctant to leave this place that contained tens of thousands of times more energy than the place he had chosen for his seclusion. Lincoln felt conflicted. He could practice much faster in this place if the energy level remained the same. Thinking of this, he could hardly contain his excitement to practice on the spot. Seeing Jamie nex
Lincoln had never met a monster beast with intelligence! After taking a closer look at Rabbit, Lincoln had other ideas. Philip was most likely a powerful person with extraordinary strength to have such a powerful monster beast as his pet. Dennis was not a fool. Philip had to be powerful and not a coward for Dennis to willingly follow him. Thinking of this, Lincoln showed Rabbit enough respect. “Mr. Rabbit, I’m looking for Dennis from the Hexa Guild.” The guild members behind him were full of disbelief at his courtesy. They had served him for a while and knew his character very well. Lincoln would never be so polite to ordinary juniors, so this rabbit had to be unusual. Thinking of this, their attitude toward Rabbit changed from disdain to admiration. Rabbit was shocked by their eccentric behavior and looked at them skeptically. Seeing their smiling faces, Rabbit decided not to make things difficult for them. Besides, they were polite. “Oh, you’re looking for Dennis. Come
This guild member could not forget how Hogster had always stolen his resources by force. Hogster’s ugly face made him sick. Although Lincoln was back, he had lost all confidence in the guild. He just wanted to return to Dennis' side as soon as possible. Although he was a member under the guild leader, Dennis was the one who had been helping him all along. In fact, if not for Dennis’ support over the years, even Alain would not have achieved what he had today. Hence, this guild member had always been grateful to Dennis. When Dennis left, he wanted to leave with him, but due to special circumstances, he stayed until now. Unexpectedly, it came in handy. Alain was excited to hear that. In Alain's opinion, such a lowly member would not dare to lie to him, so he had to be telling the truth. He knew that this was his chance to settle everything once and for all. Alain had been worried that Lincoln would blame him, but Lincoln was deceived instead, which was great. He had nothing t
Lincoln had a very good reputation, so the guild members dropped their guard and started to complain about everything. “Grandmaster, we've been having a hard time. Hogster always deducts our practice resources and gives them to the women he likes. It’s infuriating. We don’t even have that many resources to begin with,” a member said miserably. He had good talent, but Hogster did not give him any good resources, so his level remained stagnant. All his resources had been given to the women who had caught Hogster’s fancy. Lincoln scowled upon hearing this. How could Hogster take other people’s resources? He would not allow this to happen. “They also tried every means to arrange a political marriage with the Celestial Palace, but the agreement fell through, and they badmouthed the other party for it!” “They defamed the young lady of the guild, and now, they're furious at us. Their wrath is not a joke. Moreover, someone solved the side effects of their practice technique, but we'v
If Philip was at fault, Lincoln had nothing to say. However, if Hogster was the one who had caused all the trouble, he would not spare them. “I’ll get to the bottom of this. Now, tell me what’s going on with Dennis. Based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't betray the guild for no reason. He must have a reason for doing this!” Neither of them could explain what happened to Dennis. They could only say that humans were fickle. After all, they could not figure it out either. The person at fault would never admit their fault. Alain did not think that he was biased or thought that what he had done was excessive. He simply thought that Dennis looked down on him, which was why he decided to leave. Now that he was gone, Alain could say whatever he wanted, and Dennis could not defend himself. Thinking of this, Alain was very excited. He began to defame Dennis and shifted the attention away from him and his son. Lincoln scowled as he listened. Then, he returned to his room and summ
Alain was helpless. Although he had a lot to say, he could not do anything in front of Lincoln. Lincoln was stronger than him in every aspect, a force to be reckoned with. He was not someone Alain could deal with. Alain looked at Lincoln awkwardly. He wanted to appease his anger but did not know what to say. “You need to explain this to me. Why did Dennis leave? And I want to know why the guild’s reputation has become so bad. Did you do something wrong?”Lincoln heard that Dennis had been expelled and could no longer stay in the guild. Many people supported Dennis, so they were upset with Alain and tried to defame him. Hearing that, Alain knew that someone must have been talking behind his back, but he did not dare to lose his temper. He forced a smile and looked at Lincoln in a flattering manner. Before he could find an excuse, Hogster rushed over excitedly and said to his father, “Father, guess what I did to Philip? Hehe!” Hogster recounted his handiwork smugly without p
It had been years since the grandmaster went into seclusion for practice. He was not concerned about power. He once mentioned that he would not leave his seclusion unless he reached the top. Hence, no one expected to see him. “Grandmaster, you appeared at the right time. We would've been in trouble if you didn't come out!” “That’s right. Everyone is bullying us. Now that you’re out, you can help us.” Everyone complained about their grievances, feeling sorry for themselves. The Hexa Guild was in trouble, and they faced various problems too. All the major guilds were keeping a close eye on the Hexa Guild, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. The Celestial Palace planned to destroy the Hexa Guild instead of letting them off. They could not accept the initial setup, so they decided to erase the Hexa Guild from existence. Hence, the Hexa Guild had been under great pressure, with the members wishing that someone could help them. Unexpectedly, a strong expert appeared.
Ronan was his buddy, and his wife's reputation was at stake. Philip could not stand idly by. He had to help. Jamie was very fast at ordering his people to make the matter public. No one expected another dramatic turn of events. Everyone thought that the young lady of the Celestial Palace was an unchaste woman for making that decision. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Palace found a way to solve the side effects of their technique. All the major guilds were in trepidation. Although the Celestial Palace’s technique was very powerful, the side effects reduced its allure. Now that that problem was solved, everything was different. On top of that, the holy maiden and other members of the guild showed their appearance in public. Regardless of gender, everyone was beautiful without any markings on their faces. After seeing this scene, everyone knew that the Celestial Palace was about to make a comeback. Carlos was very excited and thought that Vanna was a lucky star to bring so many
