The masked guys looked at each other at that sentence. Upon taking a closer look, there was no one in the room except for a few beds! What was the situation? This was obviously a hospital ward! Where did everyone go? “F*ck! Who are you trying to scare?” The masked man who took the lead hardened his resolve. His eyes were glinting with violence as he tore open the wrapping around the long dagger in his hand, revealing a sparkling white luster. However, Philip kept his back to them. By looking out the window, he had a panoramic view of the scene of them barging in from downstairs. At the same time downstairs, dozens of bodyguards in black suits were rushing over in full gear! Philip turned around with a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth as he looked at the people at the door. He said, “Congratulations, please check the luxurious gift package you’ve just received.” “Check my *ss!” The masked man roared furiously as he got ready to hack Philip into pieces. Howe
Philip’s eye was twitching as a cold glint flashed across his gaze. He said, “If I want to touch him, according to your guess, will the person behind him save him, or can the person behind the scenes withstand my attack?” Don raised his eyebrows and glanced at Philip. After a long while, he said, “Yes, they can.”In an instant, Philip’s brows furrowed deeper! Theo stood aside. This was the first time he could sense such danger! Some people could withstand Philip’s methods! What sort of formidable character could this be to withstand it?! Philip was also silent with a layer of frost on his face. He had never been a bully. Although the Clarke family held most of the wealth in the world, he also had his own background and connections. However, many kings were vying for the throne. Furthermore, the Clarke family was divided into the main and branch family, which largely restricted each other.As for some special fields and some special people, they were also not something
Wallace’s expression was very unpleasant. The other party came to his doorstep without any hesitation at all. They were going to demand an explanation. Wallace glanced at Jerome and said coldly, “Arrange for someone just in case! This time, don’t mess things up again! Look for Lame Fred!” Jerome nodded and said, “Understood.” Then, Wallace followed the female assistant out of the office. In the lobby on the first floor, he saw Philip, Don, Theo, and others who had been waiting. The cold expression on Wallace's face immediately turned into a friendly look as he greeted them cheerfully with a smile. Standing behind Philip who was looking at the interior decor of Phoenix Pavilion with his hands behind his back, he said, “Young Master Clarke, I wonder if you have anything important for your sudden visit?” Philip turned around, glanced at Wallace indifferently, then flashed an unfathomable smile at the corners of his mouth. He asked, “Do you know what books I like to read?” Wa
Seeing Wallace motionless, Philip continued, “Why? Are you scared?” The corners of Wallace's mouth twitched as his eyes flashed. He said angrily, “Men, cut off their left hands!” As soon as his voice fell, several of Wallace's subordinates rushed into the hall and drew their daggers from their waists. “Mr. Phoenix, please spare us!” The dozen people who were kneeling panicked at the moment, desperately begging for mercy. However, Wallace just waved his hand. Swoosh! Sounds of swishing daggers fell. For a moment, the stench of blood permeated the whole hall, and everyone’s ears were filled with sounds of howls and wails. “Drag them out!” Wallace gritted his teeth. “Send people to clean the floor!” Soon, these people were dragged out while several others rushed in to wash the floor. Within ten minutes, the hall was restored, but there was still a slight smell of blood in the air. At this point, Wallace was gritting his teeth. With dormant hatred in his eyes, he sq
Wallace’s face was full of fury, and he was clenching his fists tightly. He had never suffered any disadvantage before despite being in the business for decades, but this time, he was meeting one setback after another. It made him very unhappy. The opponent simply did not play the game by the rules! Jerome’s capture was a small warning from the other party. Philip shrugged casually and looked at the pale-faced Wallace. He was not anxious at all. On the contrary, he appeared very relaxed when he said, “Actually, I don't know what I want. I just feel that since you said you have nothing to do with this matter, then why is your second brother mixed up with this group of people?” Wallace twisted his eyebrows and immediately explained, “My brother enjoys making friends with people. Perhaps they’re just casual acquaintances. Isn’t it normal for them to greet each other?” What a shameless explanation. “Yes, that’s right! What’s wrong with knowing a few friends? I just greeted th
Philip also lost patience at this moment and said bluntly, “Wallace Phoenix, I’ll give you two choices. One, chop off your brother’s hand and we’ll take it as nothing happened. Two, I’ll ask the men outside to come in and smash up your Phoenix Pavilion. Then, I’ll personally chop off your brother’s hand. How about it? It’s a fair transaction, right?” Fair transaction? It was a total loss! Wallace was full of anger. With red eyes, he shouted in a deep voice, “You’ve gone too far!” Philip shook his head and said with a smile, “It’s not that I’ve gone too far, but you did something wrong and have to be punished for it.” After that, Philip stretched out his hand and motioned to Don to hand over the document. He directly tossed it in front of Wallace, saying, “Look at it. It’s the notice issued by the association. Your Phoenix Pavilion has been ordered to close for reorganization… How many years is that?” Philip turned to ask Don. Don smiled slightly and replied, “Indefinite clo
After leaving Phoenix Pavilion, he, Theo, and Don were laughing in the car. Full of smiles, Don said, “Young Master Clarke, your methods are very clever. Wallace suffered such a big loss this time. I’m sure he won't let it go.” Before they came, they had made plans to put pressure on Wallace to make him lose more than he gained. Sure enough, Wallace was a person with careful thoughts, but he always overthought things. Often, the more considerations one made, the more mistakes there would be. In fact, if Wallace had gone to Miss Clarke for help, Philip may not be able to do anything to him. Don had mentioned that the person behind Miss Clarke was on par with Philip. If the two parties went head to head with each other, it would be enough to destroy the world! Therefore, no one would make the first move. However, Wallace was not aware of this. Clearly, he wanted to obtain the approval of the person behind Miss Clarke, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow the gr
Anna just watched with red eyes as she blamed herself. “Mr. Clarke, I’m sorry. I didn’t protect Mila.” Philip shook his head and said, “I’m not here to listen to your apologies. I’m here to thank you.” “Thank me?” Anna was puzzled. Philip cut the peeled apple into cubes, then poked a piece with a toothpick. Stretching his arm out, he placed the cubed apple at the corner of Anna’s bruised mouth. Anna was still a little apprehensive and hesitated for a moment before opening her small mouth shyly. “If you hadn’t protected Mila with your life, she might have been tortured by them a long time ago,” Philip said with a trace of hatred in his eyes. Anna said after a brief silence, “It’s my responsibility. It’s because of my inability that I couldn’t protect her.” Philip paused, raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Anna before saying with dissatisfaction, “I said, I'm not here to listen to you blaming yourself.” Of course, his words contained a trace of humor—not complete dissa
