A female assistant walked in quickly and shouted in shock, “Mr. Worley, we suddenly received five billion in our account!” Chink! Instantly, the entire conference room fell into a pin-drop silence! Hendricks was in disbelief and asked repeatedly, “Are you sure? Five billion?!” The female assistant nodded with certainty and even showed Hendricks the transaction details. At one glance, Hendricks already knew that something was amiss! He stared at Philip fixedly. This guy actually transferred five billion to him just like that! Who the hell was he? At this moment, Hendricks was full of apprehension. He understood very well that a person who could transfer five billion at will was definitely not an existence he could easily provoke! The combined value of the Worley brothers was merely a few hundred million! Terrifying! At this moment, Sirius just learned of the transfer of five billion and immediately whispered in Hendricks’s ears, his gaze full of murderous intent!
“You… You scheming son of a b*tch!” Hendricks’s eyes widened as he stared at Philip incredulously. Damn it! He still refused to let them off the hook despite paying the three billion! Obviously, he had not planned to let the brothers leave right from the very start! Philip sneered, “Hendricks Worley, I’ve never intended to let you off. I already said that the Worley brothers will meet their downfall today!” Hahaha! Hendricks laughed, not intending to conceal anything any longer. He roared angrily, yelling, “Philip Clarke! Always leave a way out for others and don’t drive us to our wits’ end! We’re not pushovers! I have the medical association backing me up. If you dare to lay a finger on me, you, Beacon, and your wife will pay a hefty price for it!” Hendricks had no other choice but to make use of the medical association to threaten the other party. He realized that Philip was serious about not letting him go. “The medical association, huh? Hehe, then I’m not afraid t
At Caesar Bailey’s single-unit villa. Although Hank York had just called to inform him that the matter was resolved, he was still uneasy. The reason was simple. Caesar had no idea who was behind the attack on him this time. Moreover, the opponent's move was clearly aimed to screw him over! Caesar had been in this business for so many years and had not faced any tough opponents so far. Furthermore, his circle was not only in Riverdale but also in Golden City and Capital City. He was Caesar Bailey—one of the three big names in the entertainment industry. Who would he be afraid of? That kind of person simply did not exist. However, if that person made a move against him, then he needed to be on guard. “Robbie, are you sure the other party is nothing but a live-in son-in-law?” Caesar suddenly asked. This was because he recalled Philip's previous threats and warnings to him. Moreover, they were exposed shortly after Philip threatened him. It was too much of a coincid
This time, Caesar Bailey finally lost his composure! He did not expect all his artists to quit his company and for his movies to be taken down. This was enough to ruin him! Caesar anxiously asked, “What’s the exact situation? How could a new film and television company suddenly pop up? Who’s the other party? Who has the balls to dare to fight with me?” Caesar’s brain churned rapidly when he immediately realized. The other party was obviously coming at him. First, they poached his artists. Then, they took his films down. The people behind this had great means! Caesar understood that someone who could employ such methods was definitely a heavyweight! This was not only about having money but also about having connections. More importantly, how could released movies be taken down so casually? That person must have used some connections! Moreover, it was no small feat to take down so many movies so rapidly! The staff on the other end of the call also looked blank and
As soon as the call was connected, Hank’s laughter came from the other end. “I knew you’d call me. Don’t worry. I already found the one behind this, and I also checked the newly established film and television company.” Caesar breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Who is it?” “I haven’t found the actual person yet, but the boss of the film company has agreed to meet us. We can go over there to discuss it,” Hank said. Caesar was startled for a moment before saying coldly, “What’s there to talk about? They actually dare to show their teeth and claws at me. They must be tired of living.” Caesar was very angry. “Hey, Old Bailey, we’re similar people after all. Let's talk about it. Maybe we can cooperate. Just think about it. They’re an opponent who can catch you off guard. If we don’t cooperate with them, plenty of other people will.” Hank suggested. “Okay.” Caesar finally nodded and agreed. After all, he was also interested to find out who the other party was. Soon, Caesar
Caesar laughed cruelly and sinisterly. Unexpectedly, the other party ignored his warning and insisted on fighting with him. Good! Very well! He looked forward to seeing what resources this Philip Clarke had to cause his downfall! Caesar narrowed his eyes and sneered, “Since you’re unwilling to talk, don’t blame me for being ruthless! Make my company go bankrupt? Very well, let’s see what methods you have! However, before that, I must remind you, be careful or you’ll end up dead yourself!” “Very good, Caesar Bailey. I hope you can still remember what you said to me today when you finally kneel and beg me!” With that said, Philip looked at Hank coldly and warned. “If you insist on getting involved, I don’t mind dragging the Film and Television Association down with him.” Hank was stunned. The other party's tone was too arrogant! Did they want to deal with the Film and Television Association too? A reshuffle? Hank’s shoulders shook. At first, he thought that he cou
Theo looked at him coldly and said, “Hank, I advise you not to get involved in this matter. Mr. Clarke doesn’t want additional trouble. But if you insist on protecting Caesar Bailey, then don’t blame me for being merciless!” Hank frowned and glanced at Caesar, seemingly having a silent discussion. Caesar even gestured two fingers at him. Philip naturally saw this communication. However, he was unperturbed. They were just some small potatoes. The outcome would be the same anyway. Then, Hank stood up straight and chuckled. “Theo, I used to call you Mr. Theo in return for your kindness, but now, the world has changed. If you want to use your identity as the underground king of Riverdale to pressure me now, I'm afraid you won't be able to suppress it.” Was Hank not afraid of Theo? Of course, he was. However, the current situation was no longer something that could be solved with fear. Hank and Caesar were already on the same boat. One could not do without the other. A
“Mr. York, you haven’t called me in such a long time. I thought you didn’t need us anymore.” There was a teasing laugh on the other end of the call. Hank’s tone was low as he said, “Tony, I don’t have time to chat with you. Gather your men. There’s a big job today.” The other end fell silent, seemingly moving to a quiet area. He said, “What happened, Mr. York? Did someone mess with you?” Hank nodded and said, “Yeah, I’ll send you the information right away. I don’t care what method you use, just try to abduct him. If that’s impossible, you may kill him on the spot, but I want to see the corpse with my own eyes. After it’s done, I’ll give you ten million!” Hank was quite generous. Tony immediately agreed. “Okay, I’ll arrange for it immediately.” After the call was disconnected, Caesar asked, “Tony? The guy on the international wanted list?” Hank nodded and said, “That’s him! He started as a mercenary, known for his ruthlessness and high kill count. He came here six years
