Ten billion. For his coffin?! This was intimidation! Naked threat! Caesar’s expression instantly turned unpleasant. He had never been threatened like this. There was silence on the phone as if a storm was brewing. After more than ten seconds, Caesar enunciated each word, “Young man, your thoughts are dangerous. Are you threatening me? If you can find my number, you should know who I am. Do you really think you have the ability to fight against my Bailey family?!” This was Caesar’s pride. He had many resources on hand. Moreover, he had three film and television companies and ties to many corporate bosses. He was completely fearless! A worthless live-in son-in-law dared to open his mouth in front of him! What foolish wishful thinking! However, on the other end, Philip said in a calm but frigid tone, “Caesar Bailey, I advise you to prepare for it, because the Bailey family will collapse in the next 24 hours. No matter who you are, what means you have, or how many trump
At the same time in the Bailey family’s standalone villa. Caesar Bailey sat on the luxurious leather sofa in the living room with two maids standing beside him, waiting on him. Robbie stood silently on the side, one arm in a plaster cast. “The other party refused to back down and wants to fight to the end,” Caesar said slowly. It was really the first time he had met such an uncompromising person. Robbie’s expression sank, but he said nonchalantly, “Godfather, I think that Philip Clarke is just putting on airs. How can he compare to you? He’s nothing but a live-in son-in-law who thinks too highly of himself. Now that the entire web is attacking his wife, I’m afraid he must be wondering how many times he has been cucked!” There was only one Philip Clarke. As long as his godfather made a move, even ten Philip Clarkes would not be his opponent. That was how strong Robbie’s confidence was. Caesar flicked him a cold glance and said, “Okay, I'll take care of this by myself. St
Immediately afterward, the people on the screen came to blows. Seeing this, Caesar exploded! Furious, he smashed the remote on the floor. The butler then handed him an iPad. The discussion regarding Wynn and Mila had already disappeared from the forums. Now, it was replaced by reports of the anonymous female staff talking about Beyond Media! It completely flooded the entire network! There were even some people who had gotten to the bottom of the inner workings of Beyond Media’s film and television company, and of course, Caesar Bailey was on the list. Subsequently, all the dirty linen involving Caesar was exposed in batches. It was getting more and more intense! Within half an hour, the stocks of all three film and television companies under Caesar Bailey’s name took a dive! Caesar quickly contacted his staff and yelled with a roar, “What the hell is happening? Hasn't this matter been suppressed? Why did it come out again?! What are the reporters doing? I gave them
Caesar smiled bitterly and said, “I know. He told me that the other party has fatal evidence against me, but I refuse to believe it. I’ve done this for so many years. Everything has been cleaned up properly. For this person to frame me like this, he must be someone in the industry. It’s most likely one of those old guys!”“Okay, I see. I’ll talk to Jim Todd.” On the other end of the line, Hank York also became serious. At this moment, he was sitting in an office somewhere. The environment was very luxurious, befitting of his status as a big boss. The southern headquarters of the Film and Television Association was in charge of the resources of film and television companies in 12 cities along the coast. It had deep influence and great authority. Hank thought for a moment before he took out the phonebook and dialed a number. At the same time in a general manager’s office of a particular network channel. Jim was excitedly looking at a piece of antique porcelain on his table w
Back to the press conference by the medical association branch. Half an hour earlier. At the scene, more than a dozen media attended while hundreds of people watched. They were mostly related agencies and normal citizens. At half-past eight, Wynn and her team in three black Mercedeses stopped at the entrance of the medical association branch office. “They’re here! It’s Beacon’s director, Wynn Johnston!” A sudden shout came from the crowd, and a group of media with cameras of different makes and sizes rushed over. When Wynn stepped down from the car, she received warm greetings from the media. “Madam Johnston, what do you have to say about Beacon’s disqualification from the medical association branch this time?” “Madam Johnston, can you confirm that your daughter belongs to your husband?” “Madam Johnston, exactly how many lovers have you had in the past? Did you rely on your body to get to this position today?” The remarks from the media were each more scathing tha
Sirius Worley was full of anger at the moment. He never imagined that Wynn would snub him and actually dared to slap him in public so brashly like that! He was livid! “You dare to hit me? B*tch! You’re asking for it!” Sirius exploded on the spot, staring at Wynn with cold eyes like he was going to swallow her whole. Several bodyguards behind Wynn also stepped forward and stood in front of her, staring at Sirius. “Mr. Worley, I appreciate your kindness, but I have to say that someone like you is really scum in the medical world. Please excuse me!” Wynn said coldly, no longer looking at Sirius. “Very well, just you wait. You’ll be begging me on your knees very soon!” Sirius glanced at the security guards brought by Wynn, waved his hands angrily, and left. He would definitely seek vengeance for this slap! After Sirius left, he walked to the door, quickly dialed a number, and gritted his teeth while saying, “Hurry up and arrange for more people to come over. I want to sha
With that said, Hendricks turned around and left. Wynn stood there. Mindy and the others also hurriedly walked over and asked, “Madam Johnston, how did it go? Did he agree?” Wynn shook her head and said, “Try to contact President Smyth of Golden City as soon as possible.” Mindy said anxiously, “We can’t get in touch with him. His phone is switched off.” Wynn frowned, turning her head to look at the press conference site. The media were still entering the premises. It seemed that she had made a decision. She said, “Let me do it.” With that, she walked aside with her mobile phone and dialed Muriel's number. There was no other way but to ask her for help. As soon as the call was connected, Muriel's contemptuous laughter sounded. “Oh, what’s the occasion today for Chairwoman Johnston to call me personally?” Wynn restrained her emotions as much as possible, lowered her stance, and said, “Muriel, on account that we’ve been classmates for so many years, please help me get in t
A few minutes later, an ambulance arrived and Wynn was rushed to the hospital. On the other side, Philip panicked after receiving Mindy’s call. He dashed out of the door immediately! Theo followed behind him closely. Two teams of bodyguards in black suits drove five black Mercedes-Benzes and hurried to the hospital! When he arrived at the hospital, Philip headed straight to the operating room. Mindy and the other colleagues were waiting at the door. As soon as she saw Philip, Mindy sobbed. “Mr. Philip, Wynn… Boohoo, it’s all my fault. I didn’t take care of her properly…” Mindy cried piteously and threw herself into Philip’s arms. Philip patted Mindy on the back, knowing that she was still young. He said, “It’s not your fault.” On the other hand, the other employees of the company were shocked when they saw Theo standing respectfully behind Philip and the two groups of bodyguards in black suits! That was Theo Zander! It was unbelievable! Philip Clarke was not a goo
Philip shrugged at Jamie’s words. “It's just a small matter. Whether you accept the challenge or not, it's not a big deal.” Every guild had to safeguard their dignity. They had to accept the challenge or they would be seen as cowards. Philip smiled. No matter what they decided, he had a bold idea. Jamie nodded thoughtfully at Philip’s words. After some deliberation, he said goodbye to Philip. He knew what he should do. Not long after Jamie left, the news that the Celestial Palace accepted the challenge spread. They adopted a tough stance, criticizing the actions of the Hexa Guild. All the major guilds knew what was going on, but they were surprised that the Celestial Palace was brave enough to make everything public, which was no different from exposing the other party’s crimes. The Hexa Guild finally revealed their true colors. The members were ashamed of being part of the Hexa Guild. The members of the Hexa Guild knew about Lincoln's stance and were worried, wondering
Alain would be doomed if Lincoln ignored him. “No way!” Alain panicked, horrified at this development. The whole guild might be at stake if Lincoln was unwilling to help him. “I've decided not to get involved in this case anymore. Deal with the mess you created yourself. Don’t expect my help.” Lincoln was very decisive about ignoring Alain. Hearing that, everyone was in despair. “Grandmaster, don’t do this to me!” Alain knew that he was doomed. He wanted to persuade Lincoln to help him, but it seemed hopeless. Lincoln waved his hand and turned away, unwilling to lay his eyes on Alain again. In his opinion, the biggest mistake was choosing such a person as the guild leader. It did not make sense for a guild to turn out this way. If Dennis had been in charge, everything would have been different. Left in the room, Hogster and Alain looked at each other, at a loss for what to do. They had thought that Lincoln would solve the problem for them, so they just did whatever th
Alain rushed over to Lincoln to boast about his plan. He knew that Lincoln would be proud of him after hearing it. However, Alain got a slap on his face before he could even speak. He stared at Lincoln blankly, wondering what just happened. “Why did you hit me?” Alain felt embarrassed and sorry for himself. After all, Hogster and many other guild members were around. At his age, it was unacceptable to be slapped in public for no reason. The onlookers backed away in fear, avoiding eye contact with Lincoln. The murderous gaze in Lincoln’s eyes was terrifying. “Why did I hit you? Don't you know why?” Lincoln trembled in anger at Alain’s reaction. This guy had no idea what he did wrong. “I saw Philip just now.” Lincoln stared at Alain, trying to read his thoughts. However, Alain was startled and confused. “In that case, you should've seen how scared he was. That’s what he gets for offending our guild!” Alain was excited and smug at the thought of Philip being scared out of hi
Although everyone was confused, they knew that despite his arrogance, Rabbit would not accuse someone for no reason. “I went out for a walk just now, and everyone is talking about the Hexa Guild declaring war on the Celestial Palace and Philip!” Hearing that, Lincoln nearly passed out. Since everyone was talking about it, it had to be true. He never dreamed that something like this would happen right after he left. “Old man, you need to tell us what’s going on. How dare you pretend to be a nice person in front of my boss? You must be tired of living!” Rabbit was very angry at this hypocrite and wanted to yell at him. Lincoln grimaced and shook his head. He had no idea what was going on either. “I'm really sorry. Let me get to the bottom of this. If everything is true, I owe you and the Celestial Palace an explanation!” After learning about the whole incident, Lincoln knew that the Hexa Guild was at fault for everything. He felt embarrassed by this. “Sure, I’ll wait for your
Just when they thought that Rabbit would lose his temper, Rabbit laughed. “I can’t believe that the Hexa Guild is bold enough to mess with us. You gave me good news and for that, I’ll reward you handsomely!” Rabbit said with a smile. He took out a bottle of wine and handed it to the storyteller who gave him the news. It was a very precious item. The storyteller was shocked by Rabbit’s generosity. He ran to the side with the wine and started drinking it. At his level, there was no way he could finish the wine by himself. Overconsumption would lead to self-combustion, resulting in a loss rather than a gain. However, he had to drink some before someone stole it from him. The others looked at him enviously as he drank the wine, regretting not being the first person to tell Rabbit the news. The news had spread long ago, but they did not seize the opportunity and missed the wine. After Rabbit found out more details, he left, knowing full well that everyone was on his side now.
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
