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.
A few minutes later, Theo said, “Mr. Clarke, we found him.” Philip nodded. More than ten minutes later, Rick was playing with a dagger in his hand. On the ground was Brooklyn whose right arm had already been broken. He stared at the man coldly and said, “Send my young miss over here safely.” Brooklyn glared at Rick and roared. “Who the f*ck are you?!” Brooklyn was very confused now. He was a mercenary but could not even survive one strike from the opponent! This man’s skills were terrifying! Rick walked up to him, kicked him in the chest, and said coldly, “You’re not qualified to ask about my identity.” The burly Brooklyn was now sprawled on the ground like a shivering puppy, groaning in pain. However, Rick turned a blind eye to all this and said lightly, “You still have three minutes. If I don’t see my young miss by then, I’ll send you and your men to see God!” At this moment, Brooklyn finally realized that he was in deep trouble! He could clearly read the threat
After hanging up the phone, the anger on Philip's face disappeared and was replaced by a sneer. Smyth was dead for sure. Theo and Anna also looked at each other, feeling sorry for Smyth. He could not fathom Philip’s way of doing things. Very soon, Philip and his men drove to the medical association branch office that Smyth had proposed to meet up. Smyth was sitting in the office at the moment, hugging his secretary. He felt that he had won. When Philip arrived, not only would he order him to release Hendricks, but he would also demand a fortune from him! For such a large enterprise like the Beacon Group, he would get at least hundreds of millions! Very soon, the intercom rang. “President Smyth, they’re here.” “Very good, bring them up.” Smyth smiled and motioned for the female secretary to leave. He could hardly wait. After a while, the office door was pushed open and the assistant walked in with Philip. “Mr. Clarke.” Smyth laughed, got up, and stretched his h
Smyth was very surprised, his face full of disbelief. How could this be? Was he not just a good-for-nothing son-in-law? How did he suddenly become the big boss of Milanelson Angel Investment Group? Thereafter. Philip said calmly, “Yes, I am.” He admitted it. Smyth swallowed, his heart full of joy! He was overwhelmed with ecstasy. A big piece of cake had been delivered right to his doorstep! Milanelson Angel Investment Group was said to be worth hundreds of billions! “Mr. Clarke, in that case, let’s stop beating around the bush. Retract the allegation against Hendricks Worley and I’ll give you your daughter back. How about that?” Smyth said with a broad grin. In his eyes, Philip was already a cash cow. Philip frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Smyth, and asked, “That’s it?” Smyth was startled. He did not understand what Philip meant and said, “Do you have any questions?” Philip smiled, looked at Smyth, and said, “By asking those questions, weren’t you
Other members of the family had been so pampered that no one could fight Ronan either. All of them were sent flying, and some of them hung on the tree miserably. Philip laughed at the scene. These people had always treated Ronan as a pushover when, in fact, Ronan was a force to be reckoned with. None of them was a match for him. “I know that other than my uncle, some other people were also involved in harming my mother, but I don’t know who they are. You'd better hand them over or no one will leave this place alive today.” Ronan’s killing intent was very intense. He was clearly very angry. Everyone panicked and looked around carefully, at a loss for what to do. They saw the fear in each other’s eyes. The family head had taken Ronan's uncle and some other people to a city. It was difficult for them to find a decision-maker when the elders were not around. The instigator from back then was not around either. Who else could they look for? “Calm down. This matter has nothin
Ronan’s uncle did not hesitate to force his elder sister to her death just to kick the most promising descendant out of the family. This grudge was unforgivable. Everyone laughed at Ronan’s audacity to seek revenge. Only a fool would dare to do that. “Do you know how powerful your uncle is?” “Although he’s not here now, he’s not someone you can afford to mess with.” Everyone mocked Ronan without taking him seriously at all. “Did you hear what I said?” Ronan scowled. These people kept disregarding his request and paid no attention to him. He felt very upset. “Since you won’t hand him over, I’ll beat you until he appears. If he’s not here, other people can take his place.” He knew that his uncle was quite powerful and would often go to other towns or cities for networking. While it was true that he might not be around, it did not mean that Ronan would not make trouble for the others. Everyone looked at Ronan arrogantly, waiting to see what Ronan would do. Suddenly, Rona
The guards were taken aback by Ronan’s sudden arrogance and looked at him doubtfully. “What’s up with you? Do you want to take action?” “After all these years, have you finally decided to avenge your mother?” They kept taunting Ronan without realizing how angry he was. “I repeat—I want to see the people who forced my mother to her death back then!” Ronan stomped his foot in anger and glared at everyone around him. The guards were startled because they finally felt Ronan’s strength with that stomp. They did not expect him to be that strong. Maybe because of Ronan’s fury, they finally realized his might and quickly scrambled into the manor. Philip saw the name on a plaque—Claude Manor. The place looked pretty imposing, and Philip felt a stab of longing as he looked around. Philip stood without a word. His main objective was to help Ronan. The guards ran away in a panic. They knew that Ronan was going to make things difficult for them. “It’s bad. Ronan is at the door
The man could not resist because he was alone. Next time, he would bring more people to deal with Philip. Philip saw his resentment but took no notice of it. No matter how much he resented Philip, he would not survive tonight. Such an arrogant and domineering person would not live to see the sun tomorrow. “Y-You hit him?” Ronan looked at Philip in disbelief, shocked that Philip would stand up for him. Although he usually appeared simple and kind, he was not a fool. He knew that Philip hit that guy to protect him. “If you meet such people again, just fight them and don’t worry about unnecessary things. You don't want to fight because you’re afraid of losing the right to enter the town, but you’re my brother from now on. “I can take care of your wine supply, and we can find other ways to make money. You don’t have to waste your efforts and live under someone else's roof anymore,” Philip said arrogantly, not taking these people seriously at all. Hearing that, Ronan nodded with
A man stepped forward at this time. “Ronan, have you completed your task? I have another task for you. Hurry up with it! I want you to hunt a thousand rabbits, and I’ll pay you one crystal for them. What do you think?” He had a smirk on his face. He was clearly trying to rip Ronan off. Ronan frowned. “Based on the market price, you should pay me at least ten crystals.” Hearing that, the man was unhappy. “That’s the price for a human. Who do you think you are? Giving you some money is good enough for you!” Ronan clenched his fist, and the man stepped back. “What are you doing? Do you want to pick a fight here? Once you make a move, someone like you will lose the chance to enter the town again! And you can forget about getting another task!” the other party threatened Ronan fearfully. He knew that Ronan was very powerful, but he had a good temper, so everyone always bullied him. “Is there a rule in the town that prohibits fighting?” Philip asked curiously. The smirking ma
Ronan and Philip moved forward and finally arrived at the human town. Philip looked around curiously and found that it was a large city. Humans had done quite well in developing a city. “If you’re not happy with this place, you can consider going to the city in the west. You can find many human territories nearby. I don’t know why humans are unwilling to live together but prefer to build cities everywhere!” Ronan was not human, so he could not understand it. “Although my mother is a human, I’m not. I only remember living in that hut since I was born. No other race is willing to accept me, including humans.” Ronan was embarrassed because he had scales on his body that were clearly visible at sea but not so much on land. Humans were unwilling to classify Ronan as a human because of that. Philip nodded, surprised to hear his pitiful plight. Not only did he not have his own race, but his mother’s race was unwilling to acknowledge him too. “That’s awful. Why don't you join u
“This is it, crystal! This little stone can get me a big bottle of wine! Since I’m lucky enough to meet you today, I’ll give it to you!” Ronan clearly had no concept of money. Philip took the stone from Ronan’s hand and found that it was no different from an energy stone. He tried to return the stone to Ronan, who rejected it. “I don't have much concept of money, but I know that money is indispensable if you want to go to the place where humans live. Just take it. I'm afraid that you’ll be detained if you don't have money. I was detained once before!” Philip was touched by Ronan’s words. He took out a bottle of wine from the space ring and handed it to Ronan. Although the wine was nothing to Philip, it was a rare treasure to Ronan, who had never tasted good wine. “What’s this?” Ronan curiously took the bottle of wine that Philip handed to him. He put it to his nose, sniffed it carefully, and was soon bursting with excitement. “This is good stuff! Do you want to sell it to m
“You’re not from a big family? In that case, how did you become so strong at such a young age?” Ronan looked at Rabbit in surprise too. “I thought you were from a big family, one of the best! After all, only such families have the power to capture summoned beasts for their descendants!” Obviously, Ronan had misunderstood Rabbit’s identity. Rabbit blinked blankly, wondering what Ronan was talking about. “Summoned beast? I'm not a summoned beast; I'm just an ordinary rabbit!” Seeing Ronan’s confusion, Rabbit smugly introduced himself. Although he had no idea what a summoned beast meant, it did not sound imposing, so Rabbit did not like it at all. Ronan was startled to hear that Rabbit was not a summoned beast but a creature with intelligence. He felt very powerful. “Indeed, he’s not a summoned beast but my pet. You can think of him as my partner. I’m more curious about this place.” Philip was puzzled, wondering what was going on in this world. He had not seen any towns so f
“This is the survival of the fittest! We were much stronger than them, so they were at our mercy, just like how we’re at your mercy now!” Someone stepped forward, his voice trembling as if he wanted to rebuke Philip. Seeing his timid appearance but bold attempt, Philip sneered, “In that case, I’m stronger than you, so there’s nothing wrong with killing you. You should pray that I won’t kill you in the cruelest way possible.” Philip raised his sword and killed the fish creature who voiced up. Any sign of weakness and these people would think they had a chance to survive. Ronan applauded Philip’s decisiveness and quickly joined the battle. Philip smiled at Ronan’s excitement. He simply wanted to vent. Over the years, he had been working so hard for his family and their future that he had almost lost sight of himself. He realized that maybe he should live for himself from now on. He wanted to become stronger and dominate the world. He knew that this was a real world. Although
