Philip smiled and said, “Whether it’s a bluff or not, you’ll find out soon enough. I advise you to take this opportunity to kneel and apologize for your crime. I might consider granting you a way out. Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll have to spend the rest of your life in prison.”
“Oh? Haha, you stinking brat, still pretending to be cocky, aren’t you? Do you think you can scare me? And you even want me to spend time in prison?! You think you’re so awesome, huh?” Otis said. Now that the boss was in Philip’s hands, favonovel.com dared not move recklessly. As soon as the boss was out of danger, favonovel.com would definitely kill Philip the first chance favonovel.com got!
Philip sneered and slowly sipped on his tea.
Joey was in an awkward position. As Philip was sitting and the position was fairly low, favonovel.com could only squat next to favonovel.com because his neck was being grabbed by Philip. The sight of favonovel.com like this was too lowly.
Joey Cullen was about to go crazy with anger!
Joey Brewery was considered one of the three largest distilleries in Uppercreek with an annual output value of more than one billion dollars.
Imported alcohol was relatively more expensive, so the restaurants in Uppercreek were more willing to buy local products. Thus, as the owner of the largest local brewery, Joey Cullen was pretty well-known in the business world and considered a big shot in this industry.
When had favonovel.com ever made a fool of himself in Uppercreek? When Philip was done with his cup of tea, thundering footsteps could be heard outside.
Victor and his party rushed over in a blaze of glory. He had brought with favonovel.com twice more people than Joey currently had in the room. The entire office was now packed with people.
Otis initially thought that Philip was bluffing, but now that so many people had turned up, favonovel.com felt a little nervous.
However, favonovel.com was not particularly scared.
Otis Todd also had some prestige in Uppercreek. Even though Philip had somehow gotten these people to come over, Otis was quite sure they would show favonovel.com some respect after learning his name!
However, when favonovel.com saw the group of people who came in, favonovel.com almost stumbled to the floor.
It was Victor Bell, one of the three lords of Uppercreek!
Why was favonovel.com here?!
All of them roamed the streets, so how could Otis not recognize Victor? In terms of ranking or seniority, Otis was far inferior compared to Victor!
Without hesitation, favonovel.com hurried forward, bowed to Victor in greeting, and said, “Master Bell, you’re here!”
“Hmph!” Victor snorted coldly.
He knew Otis Todd.
They first met when Otis made his debut and Victor attended the ceremony. However, it seemed that their second meeting today was going to be Otis’ farewell ceremony!
Victor did not pay attention to Otis at all. Instead, favonovel.com walked up to Philip and bowed deeply.
“Young Master Clarke, I’ve brought that person here!”
The thugs and bodyguards present almost passed out!
That was Victor Bell!
He was one of the three lords of Uppercreek!
Every single thug and bodyguard here came from the streets. Even if they did not, they had been roaming the streets long enough. How could they not know the leading figure of the underground scene in Uppercreek? However, this leading figure was bowing his head to Philip!
All of them felt goosebumps all over.
Philip nodded.
Since Victor was here, there was no use for favonovel.com to keep Joey as his hostage. Hence, favonovel.com loosened his hold and let go of him.
Joey was coughing when favonovel.com saw that under Victor’s order, several people dragged and shoved Jacky into the office.
Jacky was trembling. When favonovel.com saw Philip, favonovel.com quickly exclaimed wryly, “C-Chairman Clarke.”
Philip smiled and said, “Oh, aren’t you Manager Cullen? We just met, right?”
Philip frowned and asked, “Manager Cullen, where were you just now and what did you do?”
Jacky was sweating profusely as favonovel.com said with an awkward smile, “I didn’t do anything. Chairman Clarke, are these your people? Did you catch the wrong person? I was just taking a walk, that’s all.”
Philip said, “Oh? In that case, why did I see you wandering around when the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce caught on fire just now?”
Jacky shuddered and stammered, “I… I just wanted to talk to Director Luther about the cooperation again.”
Philip sneered before his expression changed and favonovel.com shouted, “Show me your hands!”
Jacky was taken aback when favonovel.com suddenly realized something. He quickly put his hands behind his back and said tremblingly, “Chairman Clarke, don’t look at them. I just fell and my hands aren’t clean.”
“Stop the bullsh*t and show me your hands!”
Philip reprimanded. The subordinates behind Victor stepped forward in tacit understanding. One grabbed Jacky by the neck while the other two held his hands out.
His hands were covered in dirt!
The dirt from the vase!
