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
Wallace was startled. He took the portfolio and opened it. It was really detailed and comprehensive! Wynn Johnston, huh? Philip’s wife was Wynn Johnston, the chairman of Beacon Group. His daughter was Mila Clarke, his mother-in-law was Martha Yates, and his father-in-law was Charles Johnston… Very detailed information. “Miss Clarke, this is?” Wallace asked to make sure that he was right. Rachel said coldly, “Wynn is undergoing prenatal treatment at the hospital now. Tell your guys to make trouble at her company. It’s better to create a big fuss so that Philip won’t have the time or energy in Phoenicia. When the time comes and the underground chamber of commerce starts, he won’t be able to do much. As long as the person arranged by the master can take down half of the profit division in the underground chamber of commerce this time, you will be a great contributor.” Wallace listened carefully, looked at the information in his hand, and already got the idea. “Miss Clarke,
Above the crowd, a bright red banner with a few particularly noticeable large characters was displayed. [Beacon, the unscrupulous company! Tumor of the medical industry! Profiting off peoples’ lives! We demand justice!] There was also a lot of discussion among the crowd. “Oh, what a pitiful family. I heard that a couple took Beacon’s medicine and died, leaving only a pair of toddlers and an old mother.” “What? So miserable? Then this Beacon is too evil! How could they claim to be a pharmaceutical company? They’re selling poison!” “Profiteering merchants! Dishonest traders! Get out of Riverdale! We want the relevant agencies to conduct a thorough investigation!” In the crowd, everyone was raising their arms and shouting. Of course, among these people, some were paid actors while some were ignorant spectators who got driven by emotions. Mindy led a few people over and asked anxiously, “What's the matter? Why are so many people making trouble?” At a glance, there was a s
Fortunately, Fabio’s security team moved quickly and guarded Wynn behind them.“Madam Johnston, are you alright?” Mindy was anxious and kept wiping things off Wynn. Wynn shook her head, forced a smile, and said, “I’m fine. We can’t blame people for being angry.” After that, she walked out from behind the security guards, faced the angry crowd, and shouted, “Everyone, please calm down. We can’t solve the problem like this. Regarding this matter, Beacon will communicate with the family members promptly. We will also understand the needs of the family members. I hope everyone will give me some time.”“Bullsh*t! Why should we believe you? Wynn Johnston is the number one villain!” “Exactly! I heard that you’re pregnant. I’m sure the child in your stomach will also become a scum of society in the future! It’s better to die!” Wicked! In the crowd, several big guys with tattoos had been inciting violent emotions in people right from the start. Tiger tilted his head and spoke in
The three men got out of the car with a serious attitude, broke through the crowd, and stood in front of Wynn. “Are you Wynn Johnston, chairwoman of Beacon Group?” The man who took the lead had a square jaw and a deep scar at the corner of his eye, but the hat he was wearing was so low that no one could see it. “Yes, I am. May I know who you are?” Wynn was perplexed. Why were the people from the Drug Administration Association also here? Also, from the forceful intensity of this situation, things did not appear to be good. The square-jawed man gestured directly to his subordinates, took out a sealed document from the briefcase, and handed it to Wynn. “We received reports from the public that your company is producing and selling counterfeit drugs. We’re here to understand the situation. You need to shut your company down for rectification. Chairman Johnston, please come with us.” Wynn was startled and quickly explained, “Everyone, I’m sorry. This is a misunderstanding. Ou
One problem followed after another. Philip’s body was full of chills at the moment. He suddenly realized that things sounded off and asked anxiously, “What's going on? Beacon is said to be producing and selling counterfeit drugs? How is this possible?” Tiger said nervously on the phone, “Mr. Clarke, I don't know the specific situation, but just now, a group of people was making trouble at the entrance of the company. There were several groups of people and media reporters on the scene. While the lady was dealing with it, people from the Drug Administration Association came over, saying that they wanted Beacon to suspend business for rectification. They then took the lady and Assistant Mindy away forcefully.” Tiger hurriedly recounted what happened. Philip frowned deeply after listening. This incident was full of oddities. So many people were making trouble together, and the appearance of the reporters... By right, these reporters would not have arrived at the scene so soon.
Thump, thump, thump! Someone was knocking on the door. “Come in.” It was Wallace’s voice. The man walked into the office and said to Wallace humbly, “Boss, they’ve already left the hospital. According to our men at the town’s borders, the car has also left Phoenicia.” “Great!” Wallace’s fist landed on the desk with his back facing the man. Through the window, he looked at the scenery of Phoenicia outside, staring at the vast green mountains far away. Then, Wallace took out his phone, dialed Lame Fred's number, and said in a deep voice, “Lame Fred, I already got that person out of Phoenicia for you. The next step is up to you. I expect only one result!” “Boss Phoenix, don’t worry. Pay up and the deed is done. That’s my motto. Just wait for my good news.” Beep. The call ended. Wallace sneered menacingly. Twisting the corner of his eyes, he could already see the outcome. Philip Clarke dared to fight with him? He would take the lives of his entire family! Then, Wa
Jamie was surprised by Philip’s easygoing reaction and immediately felt the gap between him and Philip. If Jamie were in Philip’s shoes, he would be worried, but Philip was confident instead. Jamie had a lot to learn from Philip. Jamie had no idea that Philip did not take Dennis seriously at all. Philip had too many capable people under his command. He was not concerned about Dennis at all. In comparison, Dennis could be considered the most useless person under him.… On the other hand, Rabbit arrived at the market. Rabbit was quite famous among the major families by now. As a non-human with a violent temper, he was in the center of attraction wherever he went. Someone tried to kidnap Rabbit once, but not only did he fail, but the person was also beaten badly. To this day, the kidnapper was still bedridden in the hospital. Rabbit’s notorious reputation had spread far and wide, and not just anyone could deal with him. At this time, many storytellers were at the tavern tal
People in seclusion would usually not receive any news from the outside world, so contacting them would be up to luck. Therefore, Lincoln's appearance was good news for the Hexa Guild. Now that the guild was under scrutiny, Lincoln's appearance would save them a lot of trouble. Lincoln stood on the spot, looking at the yard curiously. Philip had modified the yard, so it was full of energy. Any practitioner would feel the difference at once. Jamie and the others had discovered this fact but never asked out of courtesy. Everyone had their own secret. Maybe this was Philip’s secret. Lincoln closed his eyes and felt the abundant energy. He was reluctant to leave this place that contained tens of thousands of times more energy than the place he had chosen for his seclusion. Lincoln felt conflicted. He could practice much faster in this place if the energy level remained the same. Thinking of this, he could hardly contain his excitement to practice on the spot. Seeing Jamie nex
Lincoln had never met a monster beast with intelligence! After taking a closer look at Rabbit, Lincoln had other ideas. Philip was most likely a powerful person with extraordinary strength to have such a powerful monster beast as his pet. Dennis was not a fool. Philip had to be powerful and not a coward for Dennis to willingly follow him. Thinking of this, Lincoln showed Rabbit enough respect. “Mr. Rabbit, I’m looking for Dennis from the Hexa Guild.” The guild members behind him were full of disbelief at his courtesy. They had served him for a while and knew his character very well. Lincoln would never be so polite to ordinary juniors, so this rabbit had to be unusual. Thinking of this, their attitude toward Rabbit changed from disdain to admiration. Rabbit was shocked by their eccentric behavior and looked at them skeptically. Seeing their smiling faces, Rabbit decided not to make things difficult for them. Besides, they were polite. “Oh, you’re looking for Dennis. Come
This guild member could not forget how Hogster had always stolen his resources by force. Hogster’s ugly face made him sick. Although Lincoln was back, he had lost all confidence in the guild. He just wanted to return to Dennis' side as soon as possible. Although he was a member under the guild leader, Dennis was the one who had been helping him all along. In fact, if not for Dennis’ support over the years, even Alain would not have achieved what he had today. Hence, this guild member had always been grateful to Dennis. When Dennis left, he wanted to leave with him, but due to special circumstances, he stayed until now. Unexpectedly, it came in handy. Alain was excited to hear that. In Alain's opinion, such a lowly member would not dare to lie to him, so he had to be telling the truth. He knew that this was his chance to settle everything once and for all. Alain had been worried that Lincoln would blame him, but Lincoln was deceived instead, which was great. He had nothing t
Lincoln had a very good reputation, so the guild members dropped their guard and started to complain about everything. “Grandmaster, we've been having a hard time. Hogster always deducts our practice resources and gives them to the women he likes. It’s infuriating. We don’t even have that many resources to begin with,” a member said miserably. He had good talent, but Hogster did not give him any good resources, so his level remained stagnant. All his resources had been given to the women who had caught Hogster’s fancy. Lincoln scowled upon hearing this. How could Hogster take other people’s resources? He would not allow this to happen. “They also tried every means to arrange a political marriage with the Celestial Palace, but the agreement fell through, and they badmouthed the other party for it!” “They defamed the young lady of the guild, and now, they're furious at us. Their wrath is not a joke. Moreover, someone solved the side effects of their practice technique, but we'v
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
