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
“President Smyth, something serious has happened! The headquarters just issued an order to revoke your position as president!” “What? How could this be?” Smyth panicked. “Also, the related departments in Golden City turned up with the evidence of your crimes. All the properties under your name have been frozen!” When Smyth heard this, he felt as if his vision had gone dark and his head was buzzing. He glared at Philip and roared hysterically. “Did you do this? Don’t you want your daughter anymore?” Philip looked at the frantic Smyth indifferently, walked up to him, and kicked him before saying coldly, “You can call and ask your subordinate where my daughter is. By the way, his name is Brooklyn, right?” Smyth instantly became agitated when he heard this. “What do you mean?” Philip said mildly, “Just call and you’ll find out.” Smyth called Brooklyn anxiously and heard a sneer from the other end, “Smyth? Hello.” That was not Brooklyn’s voice! Oh no! Smyth hung up i
This time, Philip almost fell from the couch. He grinned and said, “How is that possible? I don’t have that ability. I only have a bit of money. I think someone must have lodged a report against them.” Wynn frowned at Philip. She kept feeling that he was lying. However, she could not think of a reason for him to do so. Sensing Wynn’s suspicious glance, Philip said guiltily, “Why are you looking at me that way? Don’t you know what I look like? Okay, now that your company’s affairs have been resolved, you should take good care of your health. This time, you’re not allowed to go anywhere. Do you hear me?” Wynn gave her consent, continued watching the news on the screen, and then looked back at Philip who was still on the sofa reading the newspaper with his legs propped. Was it really not him? “By the way, Phil, when are you going to introduce your friend to me?” Wynn suddenly asked while drinking her soup. Philip was startled. Wynn was asking a lot of questions today.
Martha immediately turned around, took Wynn's little hand, and persuaded her. “Wynnie, I’m trying to take care of you, of course. How could this hospital be compared to me? So, let’s go home and let me take care of you, okay?” “It’s alright, Mom. Staying in the hospital is fine. The nurses take good care of me, and they have the most advanced equipment here.” Wynn declined Martha’s kind intentions. This time, Martha was getting anxious. She was here today to persuade Wynn so that she could take care of her. That way, she could move back to the villa in a justified manner. “How could that be good enough? Mom has gone through this before. Who can take care of you better than me? You’re my daughter. Do you think I’d harm you?” Martha immediately retorted. Her intentions were very obvious. She would not relent until Wynn agreed. Wynn continued to decline painstakingly. “Mom, it’s really alright. I can stay in the hospital.” After this sentence, Martha covered her face and sta
After finding no sign of Philip despite walking around Amour Steet, Arachne lost her temper and randomly grabbed a woman who was promoting her business. “Answer my question properly and don’t think of playing any tricks. Do you understand?” Arachne dragged the woman into the back alley and said fiercely. She was full of anger and resentment toward Philip. The woman was frightened and nodded in agony. “Young lady, just go ahead and ask. I’ll tell you everything I know!” the woman said, afraid that Arachne would suddenly go crazy and attack her. Seeing her reaction, Arachne nodded with satisfaction. “Have you seen two men walking around? One is big and strong, and the other one is very handsome, the type you’ll never forget after one glance!” Arachne described Philip's and Ronan’s appearance as one handsome man and one burly man. The other party thought about it and nodded vigorously. “I remember them! They gave me a very deep impression. They left shyly after hearing our calls
Philip turned around and walked to a hidden entrance. He had found out everything he could about this place. If not for the fact that he had to pass through this street to come to this place, he would never have taken a step there. Ronan followed Philip blankly, still shocked to hear that Philip was here for an auction. “I heard that this auction has something important for sale.” Philip was very solemn. He had to get hold of the item. He was not after an object but a person. To be precise, it was one of Celeste’s kind. Before this, he found out that Celeste’s kind was almost extinct, and she was the only prophet left in the world. However, before they left the mysterious ancestral land, Celeste predicted a hint of prophecy. There was someone of her kind in this world. That person would be auctioned at this place, so Celeste hoped that Philip could help her bid for this person. Of course, Philip would not turn down such a request. He wanted to see more of this mysterious race
In Raja’s opinion, although Arachne was not the holy maiden, she was ruthless and the perfect candidate to deal with Philip. As for the real holy maiden, although she was stronger and more talented than Arachne, she was indecisive and not meant to achieve great things. Although Raja did not want to disregard the holy maiden, he was more optimistic about having Arachne deal with Philip.Arachne was all smiles upon getting this important task. She strutted smugly in front of Ariadna. “Oh my, I’m surprised that the holy maiden has been disregarded. I think having a powerful ability is a manifestation of individual strength. “Even a powerful being thinks that you’re a loser. You should forget about fighting me and just give up your position to save your dignity. After this matter is over, I’ll ask the family to appoint me as the holy maiden. I’m sure no one will turn down my request by then.” As the black sheep of the family, Arachne had known that she would never become the holy ma
However, everyone was puzzled to find that Philip had vanished after the family competition was over. No one knew where he was, so even if everyone was impatient, they could only watch without taking action. Many people tried to find Philip, but no one found any trace of him. Even the Wagner family, who had received his kindness, did not know where he was. They simply saw Philip as their benefactor.… Meanwhile, Philip wandered around the city openly. He decided to visit other cities without letting the people of the unique races out. He caused a sensation when he appeared in front of everyone. Everyone rushed forward excitedly to greet Philip as if he were a celebrity and it was an honor to greet him. Philip was at a loss at their enthusiasm, wondering what was going on. “What’s up?” Philip walked among the crowd with Rabbit. Very soon, someone told him that the Claude family had made a comeback and was constantly talking about seeking revenge. Philip simply smiled indi
The Claude family members were excited and amazed by the staggering news. They had known about the various races in this world but never thought they would be so fantastic. These mysterious races from ancient times were simply astounding. “Since you belong to a mysterious race from ancient times, isn’t it easy for you to deal with Philip? Why work with us? No matter how powerful we are, we’re just ordinary people. We may not be as good as you think.” The patriarch of the Claude family was puzzled, wondering why the spider people wanted to work with them. “It’s not convenient for us to appear in the human world. If you’re willing to work with us, we won’t forget your benefits.” Arachne had become the spokesperson of the family and was negotiating with the Claude family condescendingly. She was calm and indifferent as if she was above everyone else. Previously, the spider people never felt that they were superior to others due to the curse and other restrictions on them, but ev
The next moment, they appeared in the world where Philip was. Coincidentally, they bumped into the arrogant Claude family. They happened to land at the Claude family’s new residence. The Claude family members were unhappy to see visitors at the door of their new home. “Who are you? Why are you here? You look weird. What are you?” Sadie happened to pass by at this time, and she scowled at the sight of these people. “This is no place for beggars. Go somewhere else to beg for food!” Sadie’s sharp tongue infuriated everyone. “How dare you, woman? Do you know who we are?” Weaver retorted furiously. He never dreamed that a woman would yell at him like this. No one had ever dared to insult him. “So what? Don't forget that we're the Claude family. Do you think you can mess around here?” While Sadie was talking, someone rushed over and looked at her excitedly. “I have news about Philip. Do you want it?” Sadie was excited to hear that. She forgot about the spider people and pulle
Everyone shook their heads upon hearing that. “We want to follow you not only because of your strength but also because you saved us. Our foundation and power are quite shaky at this point. It’s best if we can find a solid backer.” The three unique races handed their tokens to Philip. The three tokens were put together and dazzled brightly. Philip was curious about the tokens, which clearly had nothing to do with the ancestral land. They had the tokens in hand but could not figure out the situation. “Putting the three tokens together is proof that the three races have chosen to pledge our allegiance to you. It can be seen as a contract,” Fitz said excitedly. It was the first time they used this function. Philip was surprised to sense their allegiance when they activated the tokens. “In that case, you may come with me.” He took everyone into his Verge Tower space and left this place with them. He knew that he had picked up a huge bargain. All of them were not weak and cons
“Philip, I sense a seal in that man's body. I think that seal is preventing him from leaving this place. The seal is totally trapping him. If no one can help him to unlock that seal, he can forget about leaving this place.” Philip was surprised that Puffy managed to discover the problem in Fitz’s body. Before this, Puffy was still getting used to their language, so he could not communicate with Philip effectively. Now that he was more proficient, he could manage some basic communication with Philip and convey some important information. “This is not only affecting him but also everyone else. Everyone has a seal that binds them here. If they want to leave this place, they have to remove that constraint!” While Philip interacted with Puffy, the others looked at them anxiously. From their point of view, Philip fell silent after that strange remark. It confused them very much. “What are you trying to say?” Fitz said excitedly. He could not wait to hear what Philip had to say. H
The Claude family members went on a rampage and seized the square, building their house right in the middle of the city. Their house had been destroyed and needed to be rebuilt. They could do whatever they wanted with their strength now. The city guards tried to speak to them but were driven out by the Claude family. Several batches of city guards had been deployed, but no one could deal with them. The Claude family members were like gods of war. Whether men, women, young, or old, they could knock their opponents down easily. The most arrogant person among them was a woman named Sadie. She was so powerful that it felt as if she was above everything. Some people had heard of her name and knew that she used to be an ordinary person in the family. All of a sudden, she became the pillar of the Claude family. “If anyone knows Philip's whereabouts, tell us at once. Once we find Philip, we’ll definitely reward you handsomely!” Sadie said arrogantly to the crowd. She was very calm and
