Natalie's convoy glided through the bustling city streets. In the middle Rolls-Royce Holdings, Theophilus rested his eyes in the back seat, with Natalie anxiously by his side.Theophilus's demeanor today had taken her by surprise. Previously, Natalie thought Theophilus would be overshadowed by Ernesto in Celestria, with no chance to showcase his martial skills. Yet, with just a few light words from Theophilus, even someone as high-ranking as Ignacio was willing to exert himself on his behalf.Thinking it over, it made sense! The matriarch had dismissed everyone else’s opinions, adamantly choosing Theophilus as the heir. With her keen insight, how could she possibly misjudge him? Entrusting the enormous Jake family conglomerate in Ethereal Nexus to Theophilus, she must have recognized his talents early on."Third Young Master, I didn't expect you to have such a vast network in Celestria." Natalie inquired: "with chairman Charlie referring to you as chairman, you must wield significant
"Young Master Alexander, you've come from Fresno, I've heard you're representing the Jake family at the hermit world's Six Families Conference." Hayden pulled out two glasses of wine from the car's fridge and handed one to him."Congratulations, Young Master Alexander, this calls for a toast."Theophilus chuckled and said: "If you've heard about that, then you must also know what Ernesto has been saying in Celestria?"Hayden replied: "I've heard, Ernesto wants to block Theophilus in Celestria.""Who is Ernesto, anyway. I think he's no match for Theophilus."Theophilus didn't respond directly but asked: "What's your influence like in Celestria? Ernesto has manipulated Oldest Young Master Clarence of the Phillips family. What's Nameless's status in the family?"After a moment's hesitation, Hayden answered: "Young Master Alexander, to be honest, my business in Celestria is doing well, but might still be a bit behind Ernesto. He represents the will of the entire Jake family in Wolves and
Clarence, so the matter we discussed before, you don't want to discuss it further, right?" Hayden coldly challenged: "You're looking down on me, Hayden, and Young Master Alexander?"Clarence squinted and said: "Young Master Radisson, back then you wanted me to speak up at the six families' meeting, right? That's not a problem, but the issue is the person you've invited is not worthy.""I thought you would invite Master Robinson or the vice-leader of Lightroom Sect to discuss with me. But you invited Theophilus instead? Can he control the situation?" Clarence said with a cold laugh: "Moreover, I have a close relationship with Mr. Ernesto, why would I seek far and neglect the near to discuss with Theophilus? Wouldn't it be more reliable to seek Mr. Ernesto for anything?"Clarence had made his stance clear.Yes, he was looking down on Theophilus.In Clarence's eyes, Theophilus of the Jake family did not have the significant influence like Young Master Ernesto. If behind Theophilus there
Theophilus chuckled and responded: "It's just a meal, why be so tense?"Natalie bowed her head and whispered: "Do you, do you know why?""You've said Clarence and Ernesto are here. Guess if I know why you've invited me?" Theophilus looked at Natalie with a teasing expression.Natalie's face immediately flushed red, and she said: "Thank you, Third Young Master, for your help.""No need to thank me. I agreed to show up for you but also had my calculations." Theophilus said indifferently."Just follow my lead when we enter the party.""Ok, I will follow your instructions." Natalie nodded in response.Then, Theophilus led Natalie and a few Azure Dragon-Guards up to the third floor of Ethereal Nexus, to a private and elegant room."Miss Natalie, you've arrived."As soon as Clarence saw Natalie, he squinted and stood up, but his face darkened immediately upon seeing the man beside her."It's you! Theophilus! What are you doing here?" Clarence expressed his displeasure.Ernesto, sitting next
"Ernesto, do you want to seek justice for Clarence?" Theophilus looked coldly at Ernesto: "If you don't have such thoughts, then I'll take Natalie away.""Theophilus, you're even more arrogant than I imagined." Ernesto said darkly: "Ruining the marriage alliance between the Jake and Phillips families, and attacking Clarence in front of me? You're truly arrogant."Theophilus responded with a cold laugh: "And what if I am? Should I be polite to you?""Ha ha." Ernesto laughed in anger, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.He stared at Theophilus, emitting an incredibly sharp aura, like a divine sword about to be unsheathed.At that moment, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped, everyone present felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.Ernesto was furious.Theophilus looked indifferently at Ernesto, standing with his arms crossed.The two faced off intensely.Natalie was startled, not expecting the hostility between the Oldest Young Master and the Third Young Master to be s
After Clarence finished speaking, two elderly men with deep black eyes and silver hair stepped forward, both exuding a distinguished aura, stepping firmly.Theophilus chuckled, glancing at Phineas beside him.Phineas also smiled with interest, leisurely fanning himself while watching Clarence's group.Clarence's daring to come here surprised Phineas.Did the Oldest Young Master of the Phillips family really think he could be so arrogant?Was he unaware of how high Theophilus's martial arts were, or that Theophilus was allied with the Mysterious Royal-X?Did Clarence really think he was the boss of Celestria, doing whatever he wanted?"Are you Clarence, the Oldest Young Master of the Phillips family?" Phineas observed Clarence: "Daring to disturb while I and Young Master Alexander are having tea? Take your people and leave immediately, out of respect for your grandfather, I don’t wish to dwell on the mistakes of someone as insignificant as you. Don’t bring trouble upon yourself.""Old
"Oldest Young Master, please be patient."Elder Joe said with a heavy expression.Then he stepped forward, grabbed Clarence's arms, and forcefully broke them, causing a crisp cracking sound!"Ah!"Clarence threw his head back and let out a miserable scream like a pig being slaughtered, nearly fainting on the spot from the pain.Even though Elder Joe tried his best to minimize Clarence's pain, the agony of broken bones is not something ordinary people can endure."Phew phew phew!"Clarence's face turned pale, his arms dangling limply at his sides, panting heavily like a dying dog."Young Master Theophilus, venerable grandmaster. We've caused you trouble tonight, may I please take the Oldest Young Master away now?" Elder Joe asked anxiously."Leave."Theophilus indifferently uttered a single word."Yes." Elder Joe, as if relieved of a heavy burden, quickly led Clarence away from the restaurant.After leaving the restaurant, Elder Joe and Clarence got into the car, which sped away on the
Thinking so, Nameless greatly admired Theophilus, who could make Mr. Phillips the Third seek someone to deliver a gift and ask for forgiveness, it seems even Mr. Phillips the Third was deeply impressed by Theophilus."Nameless, is this task difficult for you? Or is Theophilus not accepting gifts?" Ramsey asked worriedly.Nameless said: "Grandfather, it's no trouble at all. I will convey your words to Theophilus, and I will also prepare the gift on your behalf.""Um, alright, alright, leave this matter to you then, after settling this, a great merit will be recorded for you." Ramsey nodded in satisfaction, then glared at Clarence: "Learn more from your cousin Nameless, Nameless doesn't have as high a status as you, doesn't have a family backing like you. But he alone ventures out and achieves success outside, even becoming acquainted with a person of influence like Theophilus."Clarence's face turned red, annoyed at being belittled in front of Nameless."Nameless, this time Clarence ha
