Caleb was by nature smug and intolerably haughty.

All his life, he never once feared anyone. He was quite the classic spoiled rich kid.

Unfortunately, however, in his twenty-odd years of life, there was only one person who ever scared him. Just one!

That man!

The man who had become his nightmare!

Proud?

Haughty?

No one in this world could be prouder or haughtier than that man, Philip Clarke!

Caleb still remembered how, so many years ago, that man had come to the capital city with an entourage of special clearance vehicles clearing the traffic for him!

Crazy, right?

Yet it was true!

It was all because Philip had waved his hand and casually said that he would gift the special forces with some cutting-edge military equipment and techniques from abroad. Just like that, those high-ranking officials flooded the hotel Philip was staying in.

Back then, Caleb was still young. His family was rich and powerful, so he did not think twice about offending Philip.

Where did that land him

    Wynn was at the hospital, asking everyone she could find if they knew any famous doctors or could lend her any money.It was all to no avail, though. Her classmates left her in the wind at times like these. Even her close friends were nowhere to be seen.After all, they were scared.They knew that she had a useless husband. Who would lend money to a household like that? They would never see the money back again.While Wynn was feeling sorry for herself, her phone rang with a notification. It was from her cousin, Lynn. She tapped on it and saw that it was a video, plus a voice message. Before she clicked on the video, she tapped on the voice note first. Lynn's somewhat panicked voice came across the speakers. "W… Wynn, did you see the video? Do you know what your husband does for a living?"Wynn frowned her pretty brows slightly. She did not really understand what Lynn meant, so she clicked on the video. The video was crystal clear. It was obviously Philip!Fancy

    At Starlight Bar right now, Lynn and the others were about to leave in a hurry. However, they had barely gotten a few steps away when a shadow blocked their way."Phi… Mr. Clarke." Lynn looked up and saw that the one standing in front of her was none other than Philip. As a result, she was so scared that she could not even get a word out properly. Her girl friends and Kyle were huddled together warily as well. They did not even have the guts to raise their heads and look at Philip. That spineless wimp had suddenly metamorphosed into a man even Theo Zander had to respect.Of course they were terrified. Was he here to take revenge on them?However…Philip just frowned and said calmly, "You saw everything?"Lynn was quaking in her boots. She stammered for a long time, shaking her head desperately as she said, "N-No… I didn't see anything."What did Philip want?Did he want to kill her so she would not spill his secret?Philip smiled and took Lynn's phone from her. When h

    "Actually, the doctor I found is Professor Henry Turner."Philip decided to tell her in the end.Wynn's movements froze partway through searching up the name on her phone. She looked at him in disbelief. He had contacted Professor Henry Turner?After a brief moment of shock, her expression turned a little strange. She looked at Philip and said coldly, "Philip Clarke, can you stop joking at a time like this?"Of course she did not believe him. That was the Professor Henry Turner, the juggernaut of the medical field, a legendary heart specialist. He was renowned both domestically and internationally. How could Philip ever get him on their side?So Wynn just assumed that he was trying to console her."Believe me, Wynn, I really did manage to get Professor Turner. I also…" Philip tried to explain. However…Suddenly, there was a cold sarcastic laugh behind him. "You sure know how to bluff, Philip. Do you really think you could reach Professor Turner? You? Even if you want t

    There was a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties behind Martha. She was very fashionably dressed, a little on the plump side. She had a red LV bag, a jade bangle, a gold chain, and even a stylish older-lady perm.Everyone could feel her aura the moment she walked in. She oozed luxury!That was Martha’s second older sister, Philip and Wynn’s second aunt.Her name was Paula Yates, and she was the second eldest daughter in the family.Martha had never liked her second older sister.The two of them would get into catfights every time they met, over the same old things.Paula had a daughter who married a rich husband. The man had his own company and good connections in society, so Paula’s social status rose accordingly. Life was pretty good for her now.It was obvious in the way she dressed. She reeked of money.It was as though she wanted to wear all of her fortunes wherever she went, so that everyone would envy her.Case in point, Paula gave Philip the stink eye as soon as

    Philip’s voice was not loud. He smiled at them apologetically.Even so, his words left everyone in the room stunned.Martha especially looked at him like he was a ghost. She felt terrible all over, and she burst out swearing, “Damn you, Philip, no one asked you! Get the hell out!”Martha was beside herself with fury.Philip was such a blabbermouth.“Compare yourself to Paula’s son-in-law! Do you think you have any right to speak?” Martha roared at Philip furiously.“If you weren’t so useless, would I embarrass myself in front of my family like this? I must have been blind to accept a useless piece of trash like you as my son-in-law back then!“Look at her son-in-law, look what he bought for her! What about you? Have you ever bought me anything? How can you say such nonsense on top of that? If you want to go to the party, you can go by yourself! I’m not going!”As Martha howled at him, Philip lowered his head helplessly.It seemed his mother-in-law was dead certain that he was

    Behind him, Martha roared, “If you leave now, Philip Clarke, don’t ever come back! What’s a useless piece of trash like you pretending to be all capable?”However, Philip simply ignored her.He made Wynn a promise, and he was going to keep it.As soon as he walked out of the hospital door, he was given a jolt by the honk from a car horn.It was a BMW X8, top of the line. Juan sat in the car, his expression cool and arrogant.Philip frowned slightly and walked over to him, asking him coldly, “What do you want?”Juan got out of the car and took off his sunglasses, putting them in his front shirt pocket. “Pfft,” he said with a laugh. “I was so embarrassed for you in the room just now. How did you manage to hold on for so long?”So he was only here to jeer at Philip. Philip could not be bothered to entertain him, so he just turned to leave.However, Juan stood in his way, taunting Philip. “It’s been three years, Philip. What have you given Wynn? Let go, and give her a divorce. I’

    Wynn blinked. Philip said that as though he knew.How would Philip Clarke of all know who Professor Turner’s patient was?“Alright, I know you’re trying to make me feel better, but since Professor Turner isn’t free right now, we’ll just have to wait,” Wynn said with some impatience.However, Philip smiled and said, “Wynn, do you trust me?”Wynn looked at him suspiciously. It truly felt to her like he was slightly different today, as though he had a little more confidence than he did before.“You’re my husband. If I don’t trust you, who should I trust?” she said with a small smile.Well, that was what she said but it was actually just lip service. When it came to this matter, she trusted Juan a tad more.After all, Juan was rich, powerful, and well-connected. He was even the one who pleaded with Professor Turner to get Mila a fighting chance.Nevertheless, she did not want to hurt Philip by saying that to his face, so she told him a little white lie.Philip was no fool, either.

    They needed at least two billion in investments this time!Henry could afford that much himself, but he could not possibly contribute so much at once. He would require approval and red tape from all parties.That was why the medical developments in the country could not keep up with those from overseas.Now that Mr. Clarke had agreed to invest that amount, though, that would speed up domestic research by at least five years!Five whole years!That would take so much blood, sweat, and tears from so many diligent medical personnel.Henry Turner knew very well how much every medical researcher toiled away behind the scenes, doing what looked like mundane and meaningless experiments.That was why he was so grateful.It was not just him, either. His students in the room were extremely excited too.They knew that their teacher had brought them here and treated this man to a meal for a reason.They needed to find someone who was willing to donate two billion.That was not a small s

    Argent was nothing more than average, but he was so full of himself. Philip felt that he might be inferior to the other party in that aspect. “All the rewards are in my hands. If you really want them, you can try to defeat me and take them away. Otherwise, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to get them with your strength.” Philip smiled at him. Although this guy was quite strong, he was no match for Philip. “I entered the top 100 of the advanced list when I was at your age. You’re nothing to me. Stop showing off in front of me.” A trace of disdain flashed across Argent’s face. He was clearly looking down on Philip. Philip nodded. This old man was very full of himself. His strength was undeniable, but it was nothing compared to Philip’s. “I heard that you don’t belong to a guild. Don't you feel ashamed? It’s a pity that no one is willing to take you in.” Philip smiled brightly. He said this on purpose to snub Argent. Argent was furious to hear Philip mocking him for this. He

    After hearing Philip’s remarks, the guy trembled in anger. His name was Argent, nicknamed Silver Snake. He first came into contact with a practice technique when he was a teenager. As he did not know anything, he simply practiced the technique on his own. Unexpectedly, there was a problem with this technique. His height remained what it was in his teens, but his appearance became old. At first, he thought that he would always look like a teenager, but his appearance gradually became old and terrifying. No matter where he went after that, people would treat him as an old man even though he was only in his early 40s. Thinking of this, he felt sorry for himself, and his hatred for Philip deepened. Not only did his appearance change, but his practice level also slowly dropped to rock bottom. His mind gradually became more and more twisted because of this. Then, he stumbled into a cave and received a heritage by chance. The heritage was evil, but it helped him improve his practice

    Philip nodded at the other party’s grace. “Not bad, that young man is quite decent.” Even though the other party was a middle-aged man, Philip called him a young man. Philip knew that someone else would approach him very soon. He could use this opportunity to find out more about the force behind the other party. He quickly reserved the inn and wandered around the streets. He wanted to see how many people were following him. Everyone had their own agenda and was up to no good. Philip soon saw a sneaky old man who did not seem to pose any threat. The old man looked at Philip thoughtfully with a hint of ridicule, which gave Philip an unpleasant feeling. “You should know the purpose of my visit. Do I need to elaborate?” the old man cut to the chase. Philip shook his head helplessly at the old man’s arrogance. The old man in front of him was quite powerful or he would not have been so arrogant. He thought he could deal with Philip easily with his strength. “You’re obviousl

    Philip was surprised to hear that. “So, my performance was so outstanding that they can't wait to get rid of me.” Philip glanced at Duncan. Since he was not here for his money, there was no problem. Besides, he did not seem like a bad guy. “I have a job to do. I have to fulfill my responsibilities and obligations, so I need to report the situation truthfully.” Duncan knew he could not deal with Philip, so he had to find another way to negotiate with him. “If you promise not to take part in another match, I can consider letting you go for the time being. That way, I can go back and report my findings too.” He did not mention his men whom Philip took down as if they were not important at all. “Of course, I can’t agree to that. This isn’t as simple as you think. The people behind Deadly Arena won’t let me off so easily. Don’t worry about that,” Philip said with a smile. Since he knew that Duncan was from Deadly Arena, there was nothing more to say. Philip knew that Lyle

    The captain was horrified by this scene. He did not expect that Philip was so powerful to take his men down in seconds. “What powerful magic is that?” Everyone was shocked to see Philip’s strength, and the troublemakers looked worried. “Let's go. Even the Shadow Army can't do anything to him. We stand no chance.” “I think he's concealing his strength, or there’s no way he could deal with the Shadow Army so easily.” The captain of the Shadow Army could not figure out what was going on. He had no idea if he could deal with Philip either. “I can deal with you easily, so stop wasting my time and just speak your mind. I hear that you’re from the Shadow Army. In that case, let’s have a good chat.” Philip quickly sat down with him in a tavern. “Let me introduce myself. My name is Duncan. It’s nice to meet you.” Since he decided to have a chat with Philip, he left nothing unsaid. The first step of good communication was to uncover his true details. “As you know, my name is Ph

    “You seem stronger than Killer Bee. You might've stood a chance of winning if you had gone against him,” Philip taunted. Philip raised his head and took the punch without breaking a sweat. “If you want to steal from me, I'm sorry to tell you that you found the wrong target. If you just want to make friends with me, I’m more than happy to accept.” Philip grabbed the guy’s fist and threw him out with disdain, not taking him seriously at all. The guy did not expect that he would be tossed aside like a piece of trash and started panicking. Before he passed out, he only remembered that Philip easily dealt with him without breaking a sweat. He did not know what happened later, but he knew that Philip was so strong that he could kill him in a split second. If he could turn back time, he would never go after Philip again. Other people were shocked to see Philip’s strength. “He tossed the guy out so easily. This is terrifying. How did he do it?” “That’s impossible. That guy is p

    Philip walked on the road leisurely, feeling honored to have so many people stalking him. “I’m surprised that I could attract so many people.” Philip sighed in amazement as he walked. Soon, he came across several good large inns and made his choice after some selection. He was not short of money, so he did not waste time on this. “I’m going to fully reserve this inn for the time being. I don't want to see other people on my territory, so your job is to keep irrelevant people out.” Philip negotiated with the innkeeper and received the other party's consent. After all, Philip’s offer was too good to refuse. They quickly reached an agreement, and Philip obtained the right to use the inn at a good price. At this time, a bunch of people surrounded Philip with disdain. “You’re quite bold to come out alone.” “It’s very interesting to see someone walking around with so many treasures on hand.” Everyone mocked with disdainful smiles on their faces. Philip shook his head helple

    Very soon, someone sent Philip his rewards. The onlookers were surprised to see Philip receiving so many precious treasures. Some were happy while others were sad. Some envied Philip's treasures while others hankered after them. After all, not everyone could receive such rewards. Only practitioners who performed well had the opportunity to get these rewards that belonged to the advanced list. Although they could not do anything to Philip for the time being, Philip would leave Deadly Arena eventually. As long as they did not take action in Deadly Arena, no one would care what happened to Philip after that. “You can stay if you want to keep fighting. I’ll take a look around and find a place for us to stay,” Philip said to his people. These little guys had not shown off their strength yet, so they were sure to stay. Sure enough, everyone nodded. It was time for them to take the spotlight. Aslan and the others chose to stay. No one would miss the opportunity to show off. Philip

    Some people saw Philip's actions before he confounded everyone, so they were terrified. “What's going on? Has that guy gone crazy? I just saw him standing there motionless, waiting for Killer Bee to attack him.” “I would've moved ages ago. Killer Bee is very powerful. He was clearly lurking around, waiting for the chance to attack Philip, but Philip didn’t even try to dodge. Is he really that confident in his strength?” “It’s over. I bet tens of thousands of energy stones on Philip. Everything will go down the drain if he loses the match.” Everyone sighed, hoping Philip would not let them down. However, more people thought that Philip would definitely die this time. At his level, it was simply impossible for him to face Killer Bee's strongest sneak attack. The old men looked at Philip's action with excitement and anticipation, hoping that Philip would be killed immediately. “It’d be great if he died. We can recoup all our losses in one fell swoop.” “It’s good if we can
