As soon as this was said, the temperature in the entire hall dropped sharply! The coldness was terrifying! Even for the arrogant and domineering Miguel Wallis, when he came into contact with the cold gaze of 24 at this moment, sweat beaded unconsciously on his forehead as he swallowed a mouthful of spit. What a strong killing intent! The other party really dared to kill him! This was Miguel's most intuitive feeling! However, according to Miguel’s temper, how could he take this lying down so easily? He was very upset and immediately yelled, “Someone like you dares to kill me? Do you know who I am? I’m Miguel Wallis!” 24 snorted, looked back at Fulton helplessly, and asked, “Boss, is it okay if I kill him?” When he said this, 24 was completely indifferent. Even Giada, who stood next to Roger at this moment, dared not open her mouth to say anything. She blamed herself for pampering him too much, so much that he was so defiant now. “Miguel, you’re too presumptuous!”
Roger smiled and said, “Let’s wait for him to return before we discuss this matter. You should do your duty in taking care of the cooperation between the main and branch family. Don’t be too concerned about other things. I’ve my own arrangements.” It was a warning in disguise. Of course, Giada could discern the meaning. He was telling her not to dip her fingers in too many pies. Her handling the cooperation with the branch family was more than enough. However, how could Giada be content with that? Her ambition was not just the cooperation between the main and branch families. She wanted everything from the Clarke family and the power of the entire Arcadia Island! She wanted to complete the magnificent conquest that the Wallis family had not achieved for many years! Therefore, upon hearing this, Giada’s eyebrows furrowed. She raised her eyes to look at Roger and said, “You’re still wary of me.” Roger acquiesced, took a sip of the tea in his hand, and said, “Once the taste
Tim shook his head and chuckled. “That brat must be fooling around somewhere. Let’s not bother about him and drink to our brotherhood today.” Roger smiled in concurrence. The convoy, as well as Tim’s men, quickly left Cirrus Villa. The brewing storm dissipated in peace. A few days later, the annual underground chamber of commerce finally began! Early in the morning, Theo took Anna, Tiger, and his men to wait at the gates of First Palace. Six black Mercedes were parked at the entrance, as well as Theo’s Maybach in the middle. Such a scene would definitely shock the outside world if they found out about it! The big shot of Riverdale, Theo Zander, actually brought his men personally to wait respectfully at the gates. Who on earth could warrant such treatment? It was after about ten minutes before Philip walked out of the villa with Mila in his arms. As Wynn was still in the hospital for recuperation and Anne was taking care of her, he had to take care of the child. See
Even a big shot like Theo had to open the door to greet him? Wayne was not stupid. He instantly noticed something. There were rumors that people of the South River District would join hands to topple Theo this time. Now, it seemed that Theo had invited someone formidable with him. It would be another tough battle. Philip sat in the car with a sleeping Mila in his arms. After a while, he gently carried her and got out of the car. Anna also quickly got out of the car, standing beside Philip respectfully while helping him carry Mila’s daily necessities. This scene was even more bizarre in the eyes of Wayne and the other Kingsley family members. They brought a child? What was going on here? Wayne was in a daze. Behind him, the juniors of the Kingsley family started talking in low voices. “Is this the person that Theo Zander found? This must be the first time anyone brought a kid to attend the underground chamber of commerce.” “I don’t understand it. Maybe he’s already
Everyone turned in the direction of that voice and saw a group with dozens of people walking in from the door. The leader was a bald man with sunglasses. He was smoking a cigar and wearing a mink coat. His neck and hands were full of gold accessories and several jade rings. His attitude was arrogant! The pompadour was grand! There were also two hot and sexy women next to him with his arms around them. They looked very enticing with long legs and big chests. Behind them followed a bunch of tattooed and swaggering punks, all of them looking murderous. Cecil Dane! The third major force of the South River District! Everyone called him Master Cecil! He founded the Cecily Group that now had assets of more than one billion! As soon as Cecil appeared and stood in the lobby, the awe-inspiring atmosphere shocked everyone in the hall. What a domineering appearance! “Damn! It’s Master Cecil! He came here too!” “The underground chamber of commerce this time is going to b
Seeing that both sides were about to come to blows, Wayne Kingsley, who had been watching on the sidelines all this while, quickly stepped forward and said with a grin, “My honored guests, please calm down. Since you’re already in Phoenicia, what’s there to argue about? The underground chamber of commerce will be held two days later. If there is any animosity, you can fight it out during the event. Now, let’s make peace.” Cecil and Theo glared at Wayne at the same time, snorting. Wayne was also sweating profusely. It was not easy to be a peacemaker. A little carelessness would either offend this side, or that side, and maybe even both sides. Seeing that both parties had calmed down, Wayne quickly signaled to the lobby manager and said, “Why don’t you take Master Cecil to check-in and rest?” The lobby manager immediately came running and said flatteringly, “Master Cecil, please come this way.” Cecil glanced at Theo coldly. As he walked past Philip, he directly threatened him
Jay Drago?! Hearing this, Cecil trembled as beads of cold sweat started dripping from his forehead. The Brotherhood Fraternity belonging to Jay had been annihilated, and the news of this incident quickly spread in the South River District. However, the news was also suppressed quickly enough. Jay’s group was not ordinary. He was one of the five dragons of the South River District! However, because of his destruction, the South River District fell into the hands of the remaining four. Now, they were known as the four major overlords. Nonetheless, regarding the fact that Jay was annihilated, the remaining overlords were also very dazed. They had no idea who killed the man who had been active in the area for more than ten years. Moreover, according to reliable sources, everything took less than a day! All of Jay's turf, including his people, were either seized or arrested. The most terrifying thing that happened was the Anderson family, the largest family in the South Ri
He was not a person who liked to fight or kill. Everything would be fine if no one provoked him. However, Philip could not tolerate Cecil Dane. This was a very dangerous guy. He would not allow such a person to exist around him. Theo quickly replied, “Yes. Cecil made his fortune by roaming the streets back in the days. He committed many crimes and spent many years of time inside. Coincidentally, he encountered the division of power in the South River District, and with the help of his men, they pitted against his boss. They used violence to occupy the turfs and rely on killing to usurp the positions. They’ve robbed a lot of resources in the process. After that, he founded the Cecily Group and diverged into the real estate business. With more than one billion in assets, he has many men and is currently ranked third in the South River District.” Theo recounted Cecil’s information in detail. Philip listened attentively, stroking his chin as he asked, “Who was the boss he under
If Philip was at fault, Lincoln had nothing to say. However, if Hogster was the one who had caused all the trouble, he would not spare them. “I’ll get to the bottom of this. Now, tell me what’s going on with Dennis. Based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't betray the guild for no reason. He must have a reason for doing this!” Neither of them could explain what happened to Dennis. They could only say that humans were fickle. After all, they could not figure it out either. The person at fault would never admit their fault. Alain did not think that he was biased or thought that what he had done was excessive. He simply thought that Dennis looked down on him, which was why he decided to leave. Now that he was gone, Alain could say whatever he wanted, and Dennis could not defend himself. Thinking of this, Alain was very excited. He began to defame Dennis and shifted the attention away from him and his son. Lincoln scowled as he listened. Then, he returned to his room and summ
Alain was helpless. Although he had a lot to say, he could not do anything in front of Lincoln. Lincoln was stronger than him in every aspect, a force to be reckoned with. He was not someone Alain could deal with. Alain looked at Lincoln awkwardly. He wanted to appease his anger but did not know what to say. “You need to explain this to me. Why did Dennis leave? And I want to know why the guild’s reputation has become so bad. Did you do something wrong?”Lincoln heard that Dennis had been expelled and could no longer stay in the guild. Many people supported Dennis, so they were upset with Alain and tried to defame him. Hearing that, Alain knew that someone must have been talking behind his back, but he did not dare to lose his temper. He forced a smile and looked at Lincoln in a flattering manner. Before he could find an excuse, Hogster rushed over excitedly and said to his father, “Father, guess what I did to Philip? Hehe!” Hogster recounted his handiwork smugly without p
It had been years since the grandmaster went into seclusion for practice. He was not concerned about power. He once mentioned that he would not leave his seclusion unless he reached the top. Hence, no one expected to see him. “Grandmaster, you appeared at the right time. We would've been in trouble if you didn't come out!” “That’s right. Everyone is bullying us. Now that you’re out, you can help us.” Everyone complained about their grievances, feeling sorry for themselves. The Hexa Guild was in trouble, and they faced various problems too. All the major guilds were keeping a close eye on the Hexa Guild, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. The Celestial Palace planned to destroy the Hexa Guild instead of letting them off. They could not accept the initial setup, so they decided to erase the Hexa Guild from existence. Hence, the Hexa Guild had been under great pressure, with the members wishing that someone could help them. Unexpectedly, a strong expert appeared.
Ronan was his buddy, and his wife's reputation was at stake. Philip could not stand idly by. He had to help. Jamie was very fast at ordering his people to make the matter public. No one expected another dramatic turn of events. Everyone thought that the young lady of the Celestial Palace was an unchaste woman for making that decision. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Palace found a way to solve the side effects of their technique. All the major guilds were in trepidation. Although the Celestial Palace’s technique was very powerful, the side effects reduced its allure. Now that that problem was solved, everything was different. On top of that, the holy maiden and other members of the guild showed their appearance in public. Regardless of gender, everyone was beautiful without any markings on their faces. After seeing this scene, everyone knew that the Celestial Palace was about to make a comeback. Carlos was very excited and thought that Vanna was a lucky star to bring so many
After reading the letter, Alain trembled in anger, shocked that two of his strongest members would choose to leave the guild at such a critical time. Their departure was no joke. The guild could lose the guild competition at any minute! Dennis and Louis were very strong and could hold down the fort in the competition. With their departure, Alain would have fewer people to count on, and things might end up a mess. He was furious about their abrupt departure. “I need to capture Dennis. How dare he betray us?!” Alain was very upset. As a traitor, Dennis had to be dealt with. The news quickly spread, and many members found out that Dennis had chosen to leave the guild. The other elders also wondered what they should do. They knew that Dennis was a smart man and was good at judging the situation. Choosing to leave was a sign of a change to come. Everyone had their own thoughts and a rough guess about what was going on. Alain's actions not only caused an uproar but also made
A young man about the same age as him was so talented. Could anyone not be jealous? However, Louis was truly not jealous. He just wanted to learn from Philip. If Philip was really that strong, he would obey. Although Louis had a high status in the guild, he was not highly valued. That useless loser was given priority when it came to most of the resources, which made Louis upset. By right, resources should be allocated to talented people, but things were different because Hogster had a guild leader for a father. Thinking of this, Louis smiled at Philip expectantly. If Philip was worth following, he would leave the Hexa Guild without hesitation. “I want to apologize for offending you earlier. I also want to follow you, but I don’t know if I’m good enough. If you won’t consider me, I hope you can give my son a chance. He’s pretty talented.” Dennis was very polite as he apologized to Philip. Philip was surprised and thought that Dennis was quite nice. Philip invited them insi
Dennis and Louis quickly arrived at the door and knocked nervously. Rabbit opened the door this time. He did not expect to see Dennis again. He thought Dennis was here to cause trouble, so he scowled. “Why are you here again, old man? Do you want to cause more trouble for us? You’d better think twice or I’m going to get angry!” Rabbit said fiercely. Rabbit easily crushed them earlier, so they would not forget about their miserable defeat so quickly. Louis was embarrassed to hear that this rabbit had defeated his father. He had always thought that Dennis was very powerful and would not lose to a younger person no matter what. Unexpectedly, Dennis was not only defeated but lost miserably too. Louis keenly perceived that this talking rabbit was Philip’s pet and became excited. If Philip's pet was so powerful, Philip should be better. Thinking of this, he was excited and wanted to see Philip immediately. Rabbit stared at Dennis and Louis, wondering what they were up to. Denni
Celeste was surprised to see that Esther had restored her appearance. She had just seen Esther wearing a veil to cover her ugly face when they first met earlier. “Amazing! You look beautiful all of a sudden,” Celeste praised Esther from the bottom of her heart. Celeste did not know how it happened, but there had to be a reason for it. Esther smiled at Celeste. “Now that I’m beautiful, I can fully focus on taking care of Philip. Don’t worry, I won’t be worse than you.” Hearing that, Celeste was puzzled by Esther’s aggression. While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, an uninvited guest turned up at the door. It was none other than Dennis of the Hexa Guild. Dennis was not alone as he had brought his son along with him. His son was quite talented and always listened to his father's opinions. After all, he knew that he would not be where he was without his father’s guidance, and most of his father’s decisions were correct. “Father, are you sure we should leave the guild
Esther never thought that her curse could be lifted so quickly. More importantly, Esther found that all the negative energy in her body had disappeared. She took off her veil and looked at them with her true appearance. Esther was beautiful by nature, but the nasty technique had impacted her self-esteem. Now that she had regained her appearance, Esther’s confidence returned as well. “Wonderful! This technique is the perfect improved version! With this technique, our members can practice like any normal person without worrying about their appearance. Other guilds can’t kick a fuss over it or try to mess with us again!” Jamie was ecstatic and abruptly remembered a very important question. “By the way, what’s the deal with this technique? Did someone give it to you?” Jamie had to get to the bottom of it. It was very important. He would be uneasy if he did not figure out the situation. “Philip gave it to me. I don't know how he got our technique, but he’s quite good at studying
