Chapter 60: Philip

Philip Rodriguez is the second son of Alexander Rodriguez, the patriarch of the Rodriguez family, an American real estate and finance magnate. Born with a golden key, he has never had the slightest slack because of his family's wealth.

Philip worked hard from an early age. From elementary school to high school, he averaged an A in his coursework, and he actively participated in various sports and social practice activities. He taught himself a lot of coursework, skipping a grade all the way through high school at the age of twelve. He then took the ACT (American College Admission Test) and scored 36 out of 36.

His excellent grades, rich social experience, and near-perfect resume impressed the interviewer, and he was admitted to the Harvard School of Economics at the age of thirteen. It took another three years to complete all the university courses and graduate early. At the age of sixteen, he entered the family business and worked. Starting from an ordinary position, with his own ability and talent and the attitude of hard work, he climbed all the way up.

And his brother Jonathan is the kind of playboy who hangs out at all kinds of parties every day, dates all kinds of women, and doesn't care about the family business.

The relationship between Philip and his brother is not too bad, but it is not very good, after all, the two have too big a difference in personality and different values. He looked down on his brother's depravity every day, and his brother always laughed at his desperate Saburo lifestyle and didn't know how to enjoy life.

During this period, Jonathan, a playboy who could only go to a prestigious school with donations and family help, was admitted to the mysterious Zgrad Academy, and all the patriarchs of their family in modern times have graduated from the Zgrad Academy, which made Philip feel the pressure of this brother he had never looked at for the first time.

Philip became a real workaholic, sleeping only four to five hours a day and staying awake with a latte. He lived a full day, and the patriarchs of the family had graduated from the Zgrad Academy, so could he not have become a patriarch? Napoleon said: Whoever is determined to achieve victory never says that it is impossible. He believes that his efforts will pay off well.

Suddenly, disaster struck, and the patriarch of the Rodriguez family, the father of Philip and Jonathan, died in a plane crash, along with the powerful members of their family.

In addition to his grief, Philip thought of his responsibility, he would not let the big ship of the Rodriguez family sink, and he would continue the glory of the family.

But the reality gave Philip a slap in the face, and the main heir written in his father's will was his brother, the playboy who didn't know anything about business.

Jonathan became the new head of the Rodriguez family, while Philip inherited only a small portion of the estate and had to take care of the family's assets for his brother. The relationship between their brothers became that the elder brother was the chairman, and the younger brother became the relationship between the workers under him.

The younger brother also had to continue to work hard, and he didn't want his family to decline in their generation. If he pulls away, the brother who puts all his skill points on the bubble woman will mess it all up.

The arrogant Philip became increasingly dissatisfied with his brother. Because Jonathan is not only untalented and indifferent to everything in business, he is always spending money indiscriminately.

Usually live a luxurious life, spend extravagantly, and change supermodels or actress girlfriends non-stop. In addition to spending on women and living in luxury. He was also a military enthusiast, purchasing large quantities of arms and customizing special expensive non-production weapons and equipment. Some time ago, a large amount of money was also transferred to transform the Rodriguez Mansion into a military fortress.

If it is just an ordinary indiscriminate spending, such as buying diamonds and jewelry to please women, it is just a small amount of money to build a military fortress in a short period of time, and it has already affected the capital flow of the family business.

Because of Jonathan's sudden withdrawal of funds, several of the family's promising real estate projects in Philip's opinion were directly suspended. Also, it is useless to spend a lot of money on building a military fortress in New York City, where there has been no war for so many years. Even if it is a terrorist attack, terrorists should attack more influential places, such as the World Trade Towers in 911, rather than the headquarters of a business family like theirs.

So when Jonathan told him not to leave the Rodriguez Tower, which was like a military fortress, and that there was going to be a serious disaster in New York. But he didn't believe in his brother, who had always been unreliable. He felt that his brother, who was always cynical, had paranoia and should see a psychiatrist.

Philip was accustomed to and enjoyed years of fast-paced lifestyle, and if he didn't work for a day, he had an extreme sense of anxiety, and wasting his time in the Rodriguez Mansion was like killing him.

The servants and staff of the Rodriguez family still admired him, the second young master, and they couldn't figure out what tricks the eldest young master, that is, the current patriarch Jonathan, was playing. Philip's efforts were seen by everyone, so when he managed to sneak out, some people didn't see it, allowing him to escape the stupid brother's imprisonment.

Now, trapped in the sixteenth-floor conference room of the Rodriguez Hotel, outside is a bunch of monsters constantly rushing inside, and he suddenly regrets his wayward behavior of not listening to his brother. And he found that he couldn't understand this brother a little.

Before, when he heard his brother tell him in a very serious tone that there would be a disaster in New York, although he didn't believe it much, his brother's serious expression and tone made him shake a little. So he asked his friends in the government and intelligence services by phone about the situation, and they all said that there was no such thing. Also laughed at him for being whimsical. So how did his playboy brother get this information?

"Mr., when do you think this will end?" asked Philip to the man beside him.

A few hours earlier, after the gate had been breached, a group of four-limbed fish-like humanoids had broken into the house and slaughtered them, nearly being wiped out by security personnel who had caught up with them.

Luckily, the man who called himself Heyman suddenly appeared, and like a magician in the movie, he flashed blue light in his hands, condensed sharp ice arrows in the air to destroy the fish-people in the room, and sealed the breached gate with a solid ice wall. However, he was also wounded in the battle, and he was unable to lead all the people out, so he could only break the ice wall and wait for rescue.

"It's okay, I told you before, people with special powers like me are called gods. And there are many people in this world who are more capable than me, maybe we will wait for rescue after a while. kept flashing blue light from his hands, repairing the ice wall that had been destroyed by the fishmen, and said in English with a Norwegian accent. His eyes were looking in a direction beyond the ice wall, and there was a hint of a smile on his lips.
