The woman next to him was the same. She clutched Al’s arm fearfully and retorted, “Aren’t you here to teach these two a lesson? Why are you so fierce to us instead?” Smack! One of the security guards slapped the woman's face and warned. “Presumptuous! Miss Zander is a distinguished guest. How dare you threaten to teach her a lesson!” A… distinguished guest? Suddenly, Al Gator, the woman, and the people around were all dumbfounded! The meaning was too obvious. In other words, Melody should be sitting in the main hall instead! Everyone sitting in the main hall was either a big boss or a member of a wealthy family with a worth of hundreds of millions! They were actually VIPs! Ba-thump! Before the two security guards could say anything, Al already knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. “Miss… Miss Zander, please forgive me. I know my mistake. I shouldn’t look down upon others. I deserve to die!” Smack, smack, smack! Al bit the bullet and slapped himself at the sa
Theo immediately replied respectfully, “Mr. Clarke, I’m arranging manpower right now. I’ll ask someone to go and have a look.” “Okay.” Philip nodded and hung up the phone. At the same time in the auction, an endless stream of important characters entered the main hall. “Holy sh*t! Look! That seems to be Ken Cooke of Ceylon Society, the largest force in the South River District! Master Cooke!” With the shouts from someone in the outer hall, the crowd's eyes gathered at the entrance of the main hall in an instant. Sure enough. A group of eight bodyguards in black suits entered the main hall imposingly. They were guarding a man who appeared to be about 40 to 50 years old. Ken Cooke! He was the largest force in South River District and the president of Ceylon Society! For decades, no one dared to rock his position! He had nearly 100 turfs under his hand and 400 to 500 men at his disposal. Although he started as a rookie on the streets back then, Ken Cooke had trans
Ken pondered inwardly and appeared cautious. Yana smiled, approached Ken’s side, leaned close to him, and whispered in his ear. Then, she looked at Ken with a smile and said, “I hope you’ll consider it. This is also an opportunity for you.” After that, Yana gave a slight bow before walking forward. Ken frowned and looked serious. He looked at Yana who was seated in the front row and found it difficult to make a decision. This woman was really not that simple. More and more VIPs entered the venue. In the center of the main venue, the emcee stood on the podium and shouted with excitement, “A warm welcome to all the distinguished guests at Phoenix Pavilion today and also to all the visitors from all over the country, hello!” All of a sudden, the audience was ecstatic. “Next, let’s welcome the boss of Phoenix Pavilion,” the emcee shouted. At the same time at the entrance of the main hall, four men in suits entered. The four golden phoenixes! The four brothers of th
Rachel Clarke! Wynn’s best friend who returned from abroad! How could she be here as a mysterious guest of Phoenix Pavilion?! Who could she be?! At this moment, Philip’s mind flew in different directions, and his emotions were extremely complicated. It seemed that he had overlooked something important. Melody was also taken aback by Philip’s sudden reaction. She glanced at the woman who was greeting everyone in the main hall and deliberately said with jealousy, “Philip, is she really that beautiful? Why are you so excited? Sit down quickly. Everyone is watching you.” Philip came back to his senses and saw everyone around casting strange glances at him. After sitting down again, Philip crossed his arms over his chest and stared at Rachel Clarke in the main hall. This woman was really the focus of the audience, sitting directly in the first row with the four Phoenix brothers, Ken Cooke, and Yana Young. However, it was obvious that Rachel's seat was in the middle—the spo
All this was overheard by Philip who was sitting not far away! Right now, his whole body was taut and his pupils were constricted! He was trembling slightly from the excitement! His mother’s belongings! It was actually his mother’s jade and gold phoenix! Philip took a deep breath and felt a slight sadness. He clearly remembered that he used to play with that jade and gold phoenix when he was young! Unexpectedly, more than ten years had passed and he had come across his mother’s belongings again today! What a surprise! Philip never imagined that he would be in Phoenix Pavilion and would soon see his mother's relics! At that moment, Philip's eyes sparkled coldly as he stared at the auction booth in the main venue. The auction was well underway by now. Melody, who sat beside Philip, naturally noticed the change in Philip’s aura. Before this, he was nonchalant and aloof, but at this time, she clearly felt his sharp intensity! It was like a cold sword soaring tow
“Dear guests from afar, as well as all the visitors, let us now invite the finale of the night, Cleopatra’s Jade and Gold Phoenix!” Following the shouts of the master of ceremonies in the booth, two pretty ladies dressed in gowns walked into the venue while holding a high-end brocade box It was here! The moment everyone had been waiting for! The people in the audience started breathing rapidly, countless eyes locked fixedly on the brocade box. Many prominent figures at the scene had already received advanced notification. Tonight, the jade and gold phoenix of Cleopatra had already been reserved for the mysterious guest and only that person could get it! Therefore, they were merely here for the excitement. After all, the four golden phoenixes of Phoenix Pavilion had said the word, so they could only abide. Wallace had made arrangements for some people in the crowd to act as bidders to drive up the auction price. In this case, even if others followed suit, no one could
The crowd suddenly became excited. “20 million!” Sure enough, Conrad, who was sitting on the chair calmly, ate the grape that the beauty stuffed into his mouth while the other sexy lady beside him started bidding! Conrad, still dangling his propped leg, seemed very relaxed and at ease. “Wow, this is the life of the rich. He’s raised the price to 20 million already!” “I’m so envious. The rich young master is so straightforward. He added five million just like that!” “Well, in their eyes, money is nothing but numbers. What about us? We work our *ss off but are still desperately struggling to survive. The gap is too big.” After hearing Conrad’s bid, many tourists in the outer hall started talking about it. They were envious and jealous, even expressing their hatred for the rich. Unfortunately, society had forced them to be like this. Of course, with the bidding in the main hall, the entire auction venue became lively. Naturally, the price was hiked up all the way.
Yes, it was Philip! With cold eyes, he sat on his seat and raised his right hand before shouting, “250 million!” He raised the price again! Everyone at the auction got a shock! Whether it was Melody next to him or the prominent figures in the main hall, they were all stunned! Everyone exchanged sideways glances. He was a very young man but was dressed quite shabbily. 250 million? What a joke! “Where did this idiot come from? How dare he make a random offer like that? Doesn’t he know that each bid is recorded in Phoenix Pavilion?” “Haha! He’s just a show-off! Just look at him! What a d*ck!” “How dare he make a bid against Second Young Master Kingsley. I’m afraid he doesn’t even understand the concept of 250 million!” In the outer hall, there were naturally a large group of people who did not know Philip. After all, the previous conflict with Al Gator had not spread around. Next to Philip, the few people who had witnessed the previous dispute with Al were all du
“I’m surprised that you’re such a devoted lover, but are you sure there’s nothing fishy about it? Humans usually look down on other races. Why would they propose a political marriage?” Lyle expressed his doubts over this matter. There had to be something strange about this. They might suffer a great blow if they rashly opposed the Swift family, but they couldn’t let the Swift family bully the woman of Loony’s dreams either. “I know it’s strange, but I’ve confirmed that the other party is indeed my lover.” They discussed at length but simply could not determine if this was a fraud.… On the other hand, members of the Swift family gathered happily as if there was something worth celebrating. “Are you sure we can trick Loony into coming over with this?” An ugly man looked at Drake with both curiosity and expectation. Drake nodded, excited at the thought that Loony would soon fall into the trap according to his plan. “You have to believe that he’s a man of loyalty and faith,
“Speaking of demons, I recall something. Before Rabbit's father died, he had a relic that he wanted to pass down to Rabbit. It was supposedly a valuable treasure that all demons would fight for.” Everyone was startled to hear that. “Something left by my father? Why have I never heard of it? Tell me the details!” Rabbit’s nonchalance was quickly replaced by anxiety. He had always attached great importance to news of his father. He had lost his memory, so he could not remember many things. He had no impression of his father either, which made him sad. “I don't know what your father left for you, but he was very adamant about giving it to you. It was hidden in the depths of the mountain at the time. Although it was said to be a treasure, I always thought it was just a gimmick.” Black Rabbit had always thought that Rabbit's father was an unreliable rabbit. He often used treasures to trick people into helping him. However, the treasures he gave were the real deal, so the rabbits
At Philip’s level, he could easily escape a carefully planned assassination like that. After the woman returned to the safe base in a hurry, a man appeared in front of her unhappily. “Did you fail your mission?” Although he looked unhappy, there was no anger in his voice. The assassin lowered her head and nodded nervously. She knew that death awaited her upon her failed mission. The other party sighed and said nothing. “This mission was issued by the Swift family. Although you failed your mission, they didn’t blame you, so you won’t suffer any repercussions.” The assassin was surprised to hear the man’s words. She escaped a disaster. “Really? That's great. My target this time is a strong, powerful person. We need to be fully prepared if we have to assassinate him again!” The assassin's name was Scorpio, a professional top-notch killer who rarely failed. However, she was defeated by Philip this time. Scorpio felt a lingering fear at the thought of Philip’s terrifying str
Moby was full of disdain for those people who kept bragging about their bloodline. Bloodline was important, but power was more important. It was sickening to see those people looking down on other races based on their bloodline when they were not strong enough to back it up. Everyone had always looked down on the fish creatures because of their bloodline. They had endured it for a long time. Philip’s arrival marked their time to rise. They had to show everyone that bloodline was not the most important factor in determining status. “However, the demons are not so easy to deal with. We have to be prepared for a drawn-out war. If I’m not mistaken, they’ll find ways to mess with us soon.” Philip was interested in the Swift family and wanted to find out more about them. “Normal people can’t get in touch with the Swift family. They've maintained the prosperity of the family despite being imprisoned for a long time, which proves their strong foundation." Loony was wary. He knew
Philip shook his head. It was too late to develop their force now. Half a month was not enough for them to reassemble their people. “We have the elves and fish creatures on our side, so we won’t face such a tough time, but the demons can employ some weird tricks,” Loony analyzed the situation like a lame strategist with a calm smile on his face. Seeing his dodgy appearance, Philip suddenly wondered if he was really as reliable as he imagined. The voodoo technique Loony learned was indeed powerful, and the demons were proficient in voodoo too, so Loony was the key to dealing with them. “Their dirty methods are endless. I can't wait to get my book back from them. I wonder what they've gleaned from it." Loony was very upset that his book had fallen into their hands. He felt that his book had been sullied by them. “I don’t think you can get the book back from them again. If I had mastered the book, I would've destroyed it to prevent anyone from using it again.” Lyle shook his hea
Although the demons active in the outside world were nothing worth mentioning and could be defeated easily, Drake knew that the true old elites were still hiding behind the scenes. No one would be afraid of the demons when the true gods were still around, but the true gods had been destroyed. Drake enjoyed the massage from his maids while he was lost in his memories. He recalled the battle ten thousand years ago. Ten thousand years ago, the true gods captured all the humans. Being new to this world, the humans did not know much about the true gods, so the latter took advantage of it. Due to the same reason, they fell miserably. Despite that, the humans also put up a tough fight and successfully sealed the true gods, resulting in a draw with both parties sealing each other. As all the powerful true gods had been sealed, some weaker parties created many so-called true gods to ease everyone’s worries. These true gods were meant to deceive the people, so Drake was not worried abo
The messenger said tentatively, “Philip is nothing but a small potato. Although he made the headlines now, he’s nothing much to shout about. We don't have to go to great lengths for him.” In fact, he looked down on Philip in his heart. After interacting with Philip face-to-face, he thought that Philip was only worthy of having a small force of his own. “You've wasted your years with me. Philip gives me a very special feeling. He’s different from other reckless young men. He’s a force to be reckoned with. At least, he’s my type. It has only been such a short time since he arrived in the world of the gods but he rose to the occasion so quickly. It’s inseparable from his personality and ability.” The messenger showed a sign of disapproval as if they should not think too highly of Philip. “We should take him down as soon as possible because of his ability to avoid any trouble. He may pose a certain threat to us if he’s allowed to develop further.” In his opinion, anyone who might
The messenger seemed surprised. Maybe he did not expect someone to refuse this treasure. “I won’t do anything for you if you don’t make things clear,” Philip said seriously, and everyone nodded. Everyone knew Philip’s character. Although everyone was tempted by the treasure offered by the other party, they knew better than to accept it. Seeing Philip’s tough attitude, the messenger shook his head helplessly and finally changed his tone. “Since you don’t know what’s good for you, I’ll speak my mind. Philip Clarke, you can’t survive in this world without a backer. I believe someone of your level can understand what I mean.” Seeing the other party's sudden change in attitude, Philip sneered. He had finally exposed his true colors. Now, Philip wanted to find out their true purpose. “My master thinks highly of you. Although your individual strength is important, you’ll only end up dead or face endless troubles without a strong backer to support you.” The messenger turned and lef
Philip looked at the pill given by the other party. He was not interested in the pill but wanted to find out what the other party was up to. “My master told me to give you this pill. He knows that you’re injured. You can recover very well with this pill.” Everyone was angry upon hearing this. Since the other party knew that Philip was injured, they probably sent the killer. “You guys are shameless! You found a killer to attack Philip, and now, you want to use a pill to act as a good person. You're playing good cop, bad cop! People of the Swift family are always so disgusting. After being locked up for thousands of years, you still can't change your ways and still do such shameful things.” Loony’s obvious disdain eased everyone’s frustration, but they wanted to find out what was going on with this Swift family. “This is a misunderstanding. We have nothing to do with it. We just know who wants to deal with Philip, but we have no right to expose the other party at our level, so
