When Horace heard this, his brows furrowed as his face became extremely dark! This guy dared to threaten him?!“Mr. Clarke, isn't it a bit too much for you to do this?!” Horace shouted, waving his hand with anger on his face. Philip smiled and said calmly, “Is it too much? I just think it is a means. If you think this video is nothing, I’ll send it to your wife. According to what I know, you’re a live-in son-in-law who relies on the influence of your father-in-law to get to where you are today. Moreover, your wife already suspects that you’re cheating on her, but you’re very careful and didn’t leave any evidence. If your wife sees this video, do you think you’ll be kicked out from the Sloan family?” After saying that, a faint smile appeared on Philip’s face. This smile was like the spring breeze, but it made people tremble. Horace felt this way right now! Damn kid! He was actually playing such a game! However, Horace was indeed worried about the video leaking and getting
Instantly. With a wail, Horace flew out and hit the desk. “Wife, you’ve misunderstood. It's not what you think,” Horace immediately explained, covering his red and swollen face. However, the enraged fat woman just brandished her whip. Smack! This whip was drawn on Horace's arm where a red mark instantly appeared. “Do you still want to lie to me? Do you think I’m blind? Don't think I don't know the things you’ve been doing behind my back. I just didn’t bother pursuing the matter. Now, your dirty deeds have been found out by others. This is defamation to the Sloan family. I must kill you today!” That woman cursed fiercely. Once she lost her temper, no one could stop her! In a moment, Horace’s screams resounded throughout the company. This guy was covered with bloodstains and was lying on the ground limply. He hugged his wife's thick legs and begged for mercy, “My wife, I was wrong. I was really wrong. Please forgive me this time.” The fat woman kicked Horace away, t
Consider? Did they still need to think about it? The three bosses glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly. One after another, they eagerly began to flatter Philip and said, “We agree to the cooperation.” Philip nodded and said, “As it should be. Since we’re cooperative partners now, all of us are friends.” After that, Philip looked at Agnes. The latter suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly invited the three bosses to enter the general manager's office again to renegotiate the terms of cooperation. Very soon, an agreement was reached. After sending the three bosses away, Agnes returned to the general manager's office and saw Philip sitting on the sofa, sipping tea. “Mr. Clarke, I…” Agnes felt a little guilty because she had not performed well. In the end, Philip needed to step forward and solve it for her. She felt that she was not qualified for this job. Philip seemed to notice Agnes' hesitation and self-blame. He said with a smile, “Agne
At the same time in Golding Finance Limited. Ulrich Craig was sitting on the leather sofa with a cigar in his hand, looking at the two women in front of him with a cold smile. Pretty. Gorgeous. They were none other than Wynn, who had a chill on her face, and Lynn, who was feeling aggrieved and crying. On the side, a young man covered in blood had been beaten up. He was wailing and rolling on the ground. He was Lynn’s new boyfriend, Jimmy Glade. At this time, Jimmy had a bruised nose and a swollen face. One of his arms was also broken. Needless to say, he was in an extremely miserable state. In this chairman's office, there were also eight thugs dressed in various clothes guarding the door and other possible exits. They were all staring at Wynn and Lynn with lecherous gazes. Ulrich took a puff of his cigar, looked at Wynn, who had a cold look on her face, and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect Wynn Johnston, a bright star in the medical industry of Riverdale, to visit
Smack! Ulrich rushed over at this moment and slapped Lynn’s face, knocking her directly to the ground. Then, he yelled at Lynn angrily, “B*tch! It’s how much I say it is! How long has it been since you borrowed the money? Isn’t the interest counted as money too? Do you think I’m running a charity?!” Wynn hurriedly ran over and pulled Lynn up while glaring at Ulrich angrily. She said, “Mr. Craig, how can you hit people so casually?!” Lynn cried and hid behind Wynn, saying, “Wynn, I really didn't borrow that much money. They’re lying! This is extortion!” Wynn nodded and comforted Lynn, saying, “Don’t worry, I’m here. Everything will be fine.” Ulrich looked at this moving scene and sneered ruthlessly, “Madam Johnston, the relationship between you and your cousin is very touching. But your cousin owes me this much money. This is the contract which she has signed.” Ulrich’s eyes lingered on Wynn and Lynn. What a beautiful pair of sisters. Especially Wynn, who was such a su
At the same time at the entrance of Golding Finance Limited. Philip and Theo’s men had arrived. Philip was anxious. He opened the door and rushed in. Theo and his men followed closely behind. Philip barged into the company, but before he even entered, he was stopped by a few security guards at the gate! These people were Ulrich’s henchmen, specially hired to prevent people from making trouble. “F*ck! Stop right there!” Seeing Philip about to break in, one of the men with a scar on the corner of his eyebrow threw away his cigarette butt and suddenly roared. “Get lost!” Philip did not want to waste time with these small shrimps, so he yelled at them. Scarface pointed at Philip’s nose and yelled, “Damn it, you’re an arrogant kid! Are you looking for death? Do you know where this is?” With a layer of frost on Philip's face and anger in his eyes, he shouted, “I'll say it again! Get lost!” He was very anxious now. If something happened to Wynn because of this delay, t
“Master Theo, why are you here? Are you here to look for Mr. Craig?” Scarface, who was the leader, said flatteringly as he looked at Theo while trembling. Theo could not be bothered with these gangsters. He did not even look at them directly before shouting coldly, “If you don’t want to die, get lost! Tell Ulrich Craig to get out here right now!” Scarface wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with one hand and gulped nervously. The other thugs also looked panicked. Theo’s demeanor was too strong! For hooligans like them, who had not heard of Theo’s fame?! Just by standing there, they could already feel the intense pressure from Theo! “Master Theo, I’m sorry, but Mr. Craig is meeting with some distinguished guests right now. We have been given orders not to disturb him. Maybe… you can come back tomorrow?” Slap, slap! As soon as Scarface’s words fell, Theo’s big hands went up and slapped his face back and forth! Who was Theo Zander? The underground boss of Riverd
“Hahaha, Madam Johnston, at this point, are you still joking with me? To tell you the truth, this set-up today was done specially for your husband!” Ulrich’s face was full of sinister smiles as he continued pressing on Wynn's shoulders. He was about to bite Wynn’s neck. Wynn quickly dodged as tears fell from her eyes. She hated herself for being so naive. She obviously knew that Ulrich was not a good person, yet she came alone, wanting to take Lynn away. Now that she had fallen into his hands, was she going to be ruined in the hands of a man like this? Thinking about it, tears came streaming from the corner of Wynn's eyes. She cried out, “Philip, save me! Ah, let go of me!” The more Wynn cried, the more excited Ulrich became! On the other side, Lynn, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead at the moment, looked at the scene on the sofa with half-closed eyes. She swallowed her chokes and trembled all over. She wanted to help Wynn but was too scared. She was
Fitz felt particularly bad at the thought that he failed to protect his people. He vowed to take revenge. People of other races shared the same thoughts. Everyone thought that their people had gone out to seek ways to leave but were met with an accident. Unexpectedly, they were harmed by the spider people, which was simply despicable and unacceptable. “You just need to sacrifice one more person for everyone to leave this dangerous place and lift the curse from us,” Weaver said. Everyone's eyes turned bloodshot at his words, shocked that Weaver would say that so openly. “Hehe, you’re really bold to perform a sacrifice. Why not use one of your own?” Fitz laughed and stared at Weaver. Weaver scowled. Of course, the idea crossed his mind, but the records stated that they had to use other races for sacrifice. Using their own people as sacrifice would void it, so they had to use others. This would not only reduce the other party’s manpower but also save a lot of effort. However,
Philip wanted to figure out what the spider people were up to. It looked like they had been planning this for a long time, which was terrifying. He had to let the others know about this. Everyone had the right to know. Moreover, the pitiful magpie woman was scared out of her wits. Philip had to bring her home. “Let's go back now. We’ll explore this place later. Do you want to stay here or go out with us?” Philip looked at Celeste curiously. He did not think she was brave enough to venture out. Sure enough, Celeste tugged at the corner of her clothes as she pondered. “I'll go out with you!” Celeste finally decided after much deliberation. Since she had decided to follow Philip, there was no point in hiding here anymore. She had to pluck up the courage. Celeste had lived in the forest for very long and had never gone out before, so she was curious about the outside world. “I want to see the outside world!” Celeste said nervously. Philip simply nodded without a word. The
At this point, Philip sprang into action. He appeared in front of the other party, catching them off guard. “Who allowed you to kill people for no reason?” The spider people were shocked by Philip’s sudden appearance. They were frightened to see someone there, and he was none other than the human who had strayed into this place by accident. The spiders panicked and wanted to run, but Philip quickly released Puffy. The spider people could not escape because of the curse placed on them and also because of Puffy's existence. The passage only allowed entry, not exit. When anyone stepped into that passage, they would not only come under Puffy’s attack but also suffer a gut-wrenching pain. They felt something was wrong when they tried to escape. Someone noticed Puffy approaching them and yelled in fear, “It’s that deadly thing!” Someone recognized Puffy and ran away screaming. They had no chance of winning against Puffy, so they had no choice but to run. Seeing someone running aw
Philip could tell that Celeste wanted to help, but she was too weak to do anything. “Don’t worry so much. Let’s wait and see what happens. If possible, we won’t stand by and do nothing. These people are simply outrageous.” Philip did not have a good impression of the spider people, and this incident made it worse. “Not bad!” Rabbit hopped onto Celeste’s shoulder excitedly. Ever since he found out that Celeste had no ability, he liked her even more. He liked people who had no combat power. Except for that extra eye, there was nothing strange about her. Besides, she was quite a beautiful woman, so Rabbit was fond of her. “Philip will take care of it. Don’t worry about it. He’s an outstanding man who fights for justice. You’ll have a good life if you follow Philip, especially since you have that ability but are powerless to take care of yourself. I’m sure you need someone to protect you,” Rabbit chattered away. Rabbit knew how special Celeste’s ability was. She would be of gr
Celeste seemed simple and kind, and after she told Philip everything she knew, Philip and Rabbit gradually changed their minds about her for the better. “We actually learned such a big secret this time. What a surprise!” Philip exclaimed. He followed Celeste to the altar, which was very far away. Before they reached the altar, they smelled a strong stench of blood. Philip frowned at this unexpected development. Rabbit covered his nose in surprise at the strong stench of blood. “Wait, I don’t think it’s human blood.” Philip sensed that the blood came from the few pitiful races. “I can smell it. Except for the spider people, I smell the blood of other races!” At this moment, a soft sound came from the side. Celeste quickly pulled Philip and Rabbit to hide in the corner. Celeste had lost the ability to be invisible, so she could only take Philip to hide in a panic. She knew that they could not expose themselves. “Someone is coming. Stay here and don’t do anything. You’ll f
“No one ever comes to my place. You must be outsiders.” Celeste was curious, wondering who Philip was. Celeste knew about the four unique races, but Philip’s appearance and form did not fit any of them. “You’re right. I’m an outsider. I wanted to know something, so I came to the forest. It’s best if you can give me an answer. I don’t intend to harm anyone. If you can answer my questions, I’ll leave and remove the curse on you as well,” Philip persuaded her. He felt that the woman was quite sincere, different from what he imagined. In that case, there was no need to make things difficult for her. Besides, he did not feel a murderous vibe in her, so she had probably never done anything bad. Philip had no reason to make things difficult for someone who liked to hide and sing. “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I know, but I don’t really know much. I usually stay in my own territory and have no contact with the outside world. Even the other races don't know of my existence.” Rabbit
Philip felt that there was no problem with his hearing. Someone was humming a song, and the tune sounded very strange and spooky in the dark forest. Rabbit frowned and nodded. He also heard the strange sound and was scared. “Who has nothing better to do but to sing here?” Rabbit nervously grabbed the corner of Philip's clothes, afraid that Philip would leave him behind. Philip shook his head. According to the others, no one would come here for no reason. Due to various dangers in the forest, they would only wander around the edge without seeking trouble in the depths. In that case, the abrupt singing voice was very strange, indeed. “Philip, don't be nervous. Stay calm.” Rabbit's voice was trembling. Although Rabbit kept telling Philip to stay calm, he was already freaking out, so scared that he nearly wanted to run away. Philip knew Rabbit’s character, so he did not comment. He simply observed the surroundings and listened carefully to the sound, which was so ethereal tha
Philip took Puffy along and quickly arrived in a forest where the other races usually hunted, so they should not face any danger here. As soon as Philip left, a woman appeared in the corner and looked in the direction where Philip left with a conflicted look on her face. “Should I follow him?” Ariadna had been left behind in the snake people’s village. She had no friends, and no one paid her any attention. Sometimes, they even displayed their ridicule and disdain for her. She did not get good treatment even though she was a junior from the outside world. In desperation, Ariadna decided to follow Philip. Unexpectedly, she saw Philip with a cute kid the next second. Ariadna was surprised to see that Philip had such a big and cute child. “Wait, that kid looks a little weird.” Due to the distance, Ariadna could not see what the kid looked like, but his color and body shape seemed different from that of normal people. After much deliberation, Ariadna decided to tag along, co
“I’ll look around and find out what’s going on. Don’t worry about me. Look for Ronan if anything crops up.” Philip decided to leave Ronan in charge. Ronan did not object. He knew that Philip wanted to train him. He rarely interacted with others, so he had poor social skills. He had improved with Philip’s help, but his skills were still nothing compared to Philip’s subordinates. He was deeply moved by the opportunity that Philip had given him. “Sure enough, heroes will emerge from the youth. You two will have a bright future!” Wren said excitedly. Philip did not comment. After a few pleasantries, he wandered around with Rabbit. Selma and her people had no time for Philip. They finally found their predecessors, so they had many questions to solve. Philip was most interested in getting to the bottom of this mysterious place. It felt more like a cage designed to trap them. It was devoid of rich energy and other resources suitable for them. What was the purpose of the person b
