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
Hank took a cigarette and handed it to Caesar, smiling lightly as he said, “For the reshuffling of the film and television association this time, you must support me.” Caesar said with a smile, “Of course.” The two of them smoked calmly as if the outcome upstairs was already set in stone. However, unbeknownst to them... At this moment upstairs, just as the thugs rushed toward Philip, several bodyguards in black combat uniforms, black berets, and fully armed with ammunition suddenly rushed out of every corner in the meeting room! Moreover, a team fell directly from the sky. They broke through the window and rolled in, all holding their weapons and aiming at these people! “F*ck! What's the situation? Where did so many people come from?” “Run! Run quickly!” Instantly, the thugs tried to escape, but it was too late. “Stop! Drop your weapons! Do not resist!” “On the floor! On the floor now!” “Drop your weapons! Or else we’ll fire!” That was not all. At the same tim
Caesar knelt on the ground and felt very aggrieved. He never imagined that he would end up like this one day. Looking at Philip in front of him, Caesar seemed to notice something unusual amid his daze. Was he really defeated? Hank kept winking at Caesar and said, “Master Bailey, if you have any trump cards, take it out now or we’ll both die!” Upon hearing this, Caesar stared at Hank closely, his pupils constricting. Then, his face slowly turned red as the veins on his arm slowly popped! He stood up angrily, snatched the phone from Philip's hand, and shouted, “Fine! You asked for it! Don’t put the blame on me!” By now, Caesar had no other choice. Philip just looked at him indifferently as if everything was under control. That was the reason why Caesar felt apprehensive. However, there was no other way. He quickly dialed the number. After a while, the call was connected. At that moment, Caesar became very humble and respectful when he said, “Madam, something h
Could there be a hidden agenda behind his mother’s accident? After a few glances at Hank and Caesar, Philip came to a decision and said, “Okay.” With that, the fully armed bodyguards released the two. Then, Philip walked to one corner and said solemnly, “If you dare to lie to me, I won't mind letting the Wallis family disappear!” Giada chuckled. “I know you’ve made a lot of investigations into your mother’s accident over the years and a lot of the evidence points to me. But if I really killed your mother, would I still be the second lady of the Clarke family?” One sentence said it all! Philip was flabbergasted! Were his investigations over the years completely wrong? Impossible! How could that be?! “Bullsh*t! I’ve investigated for so many years and every piece of evidence points to you!” Philip exclaimed angrily. Giada continued, “You’ve been misled. What I can tell you is that the hidden force behind this is beyond your imagination. If you want to fight them, you
When the call was connected, Smyth's solemn tone was heard on the other end. “Philip Clarke, I’d like to ask you to release Hendricks Worley immediately.” Philip simply chuckled and said, “President Smyth, you really don’t give up until you’re faced with the gallows.” On the other end, Smyth was sitting in a speeding car while talking grimly. “Philip, this matter involves the medical association. If you do this, you’ll be making an enemy out of us, and your wife’s company will also suffer our vengeance!” Suffer from vengeance? Philip smiled with chills in his eyes and said, “Smyth, when you decided to make a move against Beacon, you already became my enemy. And as my enemy, the only unfortunate outcome is to be destroyed by me!” Smyth immediately exploded and roared angrily. “You’re playing with fire! I’m the regional president of the medical association. If you do this, you’re offending me and the medical association!” “So what?” Philip shook his head and sneered, “It’s ju
After Philip hung up the phone, he immediately called George and said, “I need information about Golden City Medical Association and Carr Smyth.” In ten minutes, the information was sent over. Philip looked at the information in his hand, his frown getting deeper as his eyes became full of killing intent. “This Carr Smyth is really something. He’s more formidable than Hendricks and Caesar.” Anna and Theo also had a copy of the information. Anna said, “This person has done so many bad things in this country but still lives so well. He must have a strong team behind him.” “Mr. Clarke, this guy manipulated many transactions in the dark and suppressed many companies. There must be evidence about that. If we can get hold of it, it’s game over for him!” Philip nodded. When he saw several articles about Smyth kidnapping family members to intimidate the victims, his frown deepened. Theo and Anna naturally noticed that too and recalled the content of the conversation just now.
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
