Philip glanced over calmly and expressionlessly.

Kyle was looking at Philip, clearly displeased. This guy seemed so normal, how could he be so calm? Interesting!

“Bro, can you pay the three hundred thousand?” Kyle was not a gangster who would just start getting physical for no apparent reason. Three hundred thousand was a humongous sum for a normal person. Kyle felt that a man like Philip could never afford this amount, but he still had to ask. Diplomacy before violence.

“I’m sorry, but he ran a red light and should take full responsibility. What’s more, we didn’t really hit each other,” said Philip calmly.

Jacob pointed at Philip and roared furiously, “Does that mean you won’t pay up?”

Philip stared quietly at him, not answering.

Kyle frowned slightly, shifting his gaze to the wrecked Harley on the ground and said, “Bro, three thousand won’t cost much. Just a leg.”

This was a threat. Philip’s gaze went cold as a glint appeared in his eyes.

As the heir to an elite family, did that three hundred thousand matter to him? It did not. But, he could not let himself be taken advantage of.

“What if I told you I don’t have any money?” Philip replied.

The group of bikers was snickering as they stared at Philip like he was an idiot.

Kyle rubbed his nose before draping an arm over Philip’s shoulder, flashing him an insolent smile. “Uncle, do you know who I am? I’m Kyle Lyon of Lord North Street. Everyone shows me respect by calling me ‘Brother Kyle’. It would be unreasonable if you didn’t compensate for a single thing today.”

Kyle was amused. It was his first time meeting such a foolish guy. Was his head made of iron? Or did he think he was a honey badger? Hilarious!

“Brother Kyle, just one look at his outfit, and you can tell that he’s broke.”

“This idiot might not even know what a Harley is, hahaha!”

“Uncle, quickly call someone to bring you some money. Our Brother Kyle doesn’t hold back in a beating.” The group of bikers jeered continuously. The girls crossed their arms with an indignant expression while the guys leaned against their bikes, smoking.

Lynn was among the group, watching coldly. She leaned against one of the girls who was wearing tight leather pants and a cropped camisole.

“He’s my cousin brother-in-law, a wretched piece of trash living under my cousin sister’s expenses.” Lynn suddenly interrupted, saying this like it made her seem more superior.

“Shit, a kept man! Uncle, you have quite the skills. Why don’t you teach us?” A few of the bikers started cracking up again.

Kyle stifled a laugh and shook his head. He scorned men who relied on women the most. “So, what is your decision, Uncle?” asked Kyle. He smirked and was ready to get physical.

Philip remained silent without saying a word. A mental calculation told him that it was about time.

All of a sudden, Philip’s pupils contracted as he saw a great number of red-colored scooters speeding over from afar!

“Why are there so many delivery men?” Without knowing who shouted, everyone turned to look.

The sight of red scooters, red helmets, and red vests filled their eyes. It was not just ten units. The whole crossroad was filled with the red delivery service fleet! There were almost fifty units! The scooters immediately surrounded this whole area.

“Shit! What gives? They’re all cheap scooters!” yelled Jacob. He then turned to Philip and asked, “Did you call for them?”

Philip nodded. “Yeah.”

“Hahaha!” There was a burst of laughter.

“You think that calling a bunch of delivery men over would be useful?” Jacob laughed out loud as he belittled.

Kyle was too lazy even to ridicule him, only shaking his head. Was this guy really an idiot? To actually have the guts to do such an embarrassing thing. Was this a popular method nowadays? To call for delivery services to save yourself. It was hilarious.

Lynn was among the biker’s team. When she saw this scene, she could not resist laughing out loud. This cousin brother-in-law of hers was just too much. How could her cousin have fallen for such a man? He was garbage!

Just then, from among the delivery fleet, Agnes came out in a black skirt suit. Under the headlights of the scooters, she walked toward Philip.

Philip only gave her a signal with his eyes and Agnes understood. Philip had explicitly told her before that his identity was not to be revealed. This man was really low profile.

Agnes then turned around to face Kyle and his group, saying leisurely, “I am Philip’s manager. If you have a problem with him, you can talk to me.”

Kyle’s eyes scanned Agnes up and down. This woman was exquisite. She was better than the young girls around him.

“Okay, I’ll talk to you then,” Kyle answered happily. “Three hundred thousand. Once we get the money, he can leave.”

Agnes frowned slightly. She looked at the Harley on the ground and said coldly, “Sure. But, we choose to settle it with a police report.”

Police report? Kyle frowned immediately.

The police were the most troublesome existence for a biker gang. Moreover, what happened tonight was mostly Jacob’s fault. If they made a police report, he would not have it well. The most important thing was Kyle did not bring his driving license out today.

“Babe, talks don’t work this way. It’s too insincere.” Kyle’s expression darkened. The people behind him started cracking their knuckles.

However, the moment they took a step forward, the delivery men in red vests around them rolled up their sleeves furiously, ready to dole out a beating. How could they still negotiate? It was ten people versus over forty greasy grown men. There was nothing left to negotiate!

Kyle knew that this situation was not favorable for him. He gritted his teeth and said, “Fine. You win in numbers. Let’s go.” He then led his group onto their modified bikes and drove away.

While they were still in view, Kyle lifted a middle finger at Philip. Lynn had shot Philip a cold glare, despising him even more. What was he arrogant about? A shitty delivery man like him actually needed a woman to fight for his honor. Serves him right to be a kept man for the rest of his life!

After the biker gang had disappeared into the distance, Agnes finally let out a sigh of relief. She turned to ask respectfully, “Boss, are you okay?”

The crowd of brothers started chiming in to ask about his well being too.

“I’m fine, I’m fine, you guys can head back now,” said Philip.

After making sure that Philip was alright, Agnes led the team away.

This crisis went away as quickly as it came. Philip got onto his bicycle and went back to the hospital. Wynn had come to the hospital later that night and got into bed with Mila after freshening up. Philip, instead, sat on the long bench outside the ward to pass the night.

***

Today was the old man, Charles Johnston’s birthday. After giving it some thought, Philip decided to make a trip over. As for his birthday present, Philip had brought along the Chinese painting, that Russell had gifted to him. Russell was a famous collector within the country, so the paintings from him were definitely genuine and could fetch a high price.

However, Philip knew that whatever gift he brought, it would still be scorned upon. But he did not mind it. It was just a token of his regard.

At the entrance of Virtuous Court, the place where Wynn had said to meet up, a beautiful silhouette of a woman was standing beside the door, evidently anxious.

Wynn Johnston had especially worn a long black dress today with her hair combed up. She looked gorgeous and elegant. But, this woman was cold to Philip.

Philip walked over, lazily, and teased, “Hey, are you waiting for me?”

Wynn frowned and shot Philip a look of disdain. “Did you bring a gift for my dad?”

Philip showed her the long gift box in his hand. “Yeah, I did.”

Wynn did not even bother to look and just turned around to strut into the restaurant in her high heels. She had to beg her father for a long time before she was allowed to bring Philip along.

“Once we get inside, don’t say anything rash. A lot of my family members and my father’s friends are here today, and if they say anything about you, just bear it. You just have to remember one thing today, that is to apologize to my parents. If you can do that, I won’t divorce you,” urged Wynn.

Philip chuckled, not taking her words to heart. If the old man knew of his identity, he might have been so frightened that he would come out to receive him at the door.

Seeing Philip keep quiet, Wynn looked back and glared at him, asking sternly, “Do you understand?”

“Got it,” answered Philip.

When the two of them entered the private room, the Johnston family and Charles’s friends have already gathered. It was lively inside.

“Look who’s here, the Johnston’s great beauty.”

“Wynn, you’re late today, so you have to drink as a penalty.”

“Sister Wynn, sit with me.”

The crowd was ardently greeting Wynn and completely ignoring Philip who was following closely behind her. He regretted coming now.

Although Philip was already used to the Johnston family being cold to him, to be publicly ostracized was still upsetting.

Charles Johnston and his wife, Martha Yates, were sitting at the head of the table, talking cheerfully to the people around them. However, when they saw Philip, Charles gave a cold snort before ignoring him altogether.

This son-in-law was too much of an embarrassment. There were not only family members here today but his friends as well. If it were not for his daughter, Charles would never have let Philip take one step inside.

Just then, the door of the private room was pushed open again and a well-dressed man in a branded full suit stood at the door.

Philip had seen this man once or twice before. The man was from a wealthy family. His family had a solid background and was an influential bunch in Riverdale City. This man had also been pursuing Wynn for a long time now.

    Sigh! His wife was just too beautiful that so many people were trying to court her. It gave Philip a headache. “Hey, Aiden’s here! Come, come, come and sit beside your Uncle Johnston.” Martha was clearly enthusiastic as she welcomed him. “Why did you have to bring gifts? You’re just too kind. Just your presence would have been enough!” “It’s Uncle Johnston’s birthday, after all.” Aiden smiled and walked over to sit beside Charles. At this, the crowd started shooting mocking looks at Philip. This son-in-law of the Johnston family was just too wretched. Even an outsider could sit beside Charles Johnston, but as a son-in-law, he had to sit closest to the door. This difference in treatment was just too obvious. Martha was smiling with her eyes as she looked at Aiden like she was looking at her future son-in-law. “It’s thanks to Aiden reserving this private room that we get to dine here at Virtuous Court today.” The crowd then looked at Aiden in adoration.

    Watching everyone causing a commotion, Wynn felt like she was sitting on needles. Although she did not know what Philip had prepared, he had told her that it was a painting. Philip was not a complete idiot, so he had brought the painting that Russell had given him. But sadly, Wynn did not know. She only thought that Philip had simply bought a random decorative painting. Now that Aiden had brought out his famous Chinese painting and received great comments from everyone, the painting in Philip’s hand paled compared to a treasure like that. He would be humiliating himself if he took it out. “It’s just a gift. There’s nothing to see.” Wynn chirped in for Philip before shooting him a vicious look. If he humiliated himself in front of everyone today, she would hate him forever! She would never be able to lift her head up again in front of Aiden. “Sis, you’re just rude now. We can’t ignore Cousin Brother-in-law’s regards,” Lynn giggled as she said. She then walked over and snatched the

    “Since Mr. Clarke isn’t here, I won’t disturb you any longer. Please have a great time.” Javier had come so suddenly and left after delivering gifts, leaving the crowd shocked. Charles coughed with the card still in his hand and asked, “Does any of you know this Mr. Clarke?” Everyone shook their heads. A figure powerful enough to have the owner of Virtuous Court personally bring over delicious food and great wine was not someone they could be acquainted with their lowly status. “Could it be Philip Clarke?” No one knew who had said this for fun, but the whole room burst into laughter. “Stop joking, how could it be that trash? If it were him, I’d eat these wine bottles.” “Other than having the same last name, what else does our cousin brother-in-law have to show for?” A few of the youngsters were mocking without reserve. Wynn found it hard to bear, so she scolded furiously, “That’s enough! What are you guys saying? He is still your cousin brother-in-law no matter what!”

    Philip pondered before saying, “I won’t meet him for now. Let’s talk about it in the future.” Anna replied, “Understood, Mr. Clarke.” After the call ended, Philip sat in the corridor and slept the night away. The next day, early in the morning, Wynn said to him coldly, “I’m taking Mila home in the afternoon, will you be coming with me?” Philip nodded and gave her a bitter smile. “I’ll go and apologize to Father.” Wynn’s heart skipped a beat when she heard him, but her expression remained indifferent, only nodding without saying anything. In the afternoon, Philip and Wynn brought Mila to the Johnston family home. The atmosphere in the house was cold as soon as they entered. “Dad, I’m home.” Wynn feigned composure. No one came out to greet them. Charles was sitting on the sofa wearing reading glasses as he read the paper while Martha was busy in the kitchen. Philip put Mila down, and the little girl immediately hid behind her father’s leg, hugging Philip’s leg tightly.

    Aiden, who had been looking cheery, was now in a daze. What was going on? Mr. Clarke was upset, so the gallery was not to be opened to the public. Could there be any other reason more random than this? No, he must have done something wrong. “What’s wrong Addy, did something happen?” Charles and Martha found Aiden’s expression a little odd. “Oh, it’s nothing, nothing at all. They’re just reporting the gallery’s situation to me.” Aiden forced out a smile then added, “Uhm, Uncle Johnston, I have some urgent matters, so I will be leaving now.” He then stood up to leave. “Oh, Addy, is it really urgent? Won’t you be staying for dinner?” Martha followed closely behind him and saw him out the door. “Maybe next time. Goodbye, Uncle Johnston, Aunt Martha.” Aiden hurried away. Of course, he would be in a rush. If something happened to the gallery booking, he would lose all face in front of his future father-in-law. He had to rush over to the gallery to see what was going on. After seein

    “Causing trouble?” Anna frowned. Her aura became colder as the temperature around fell by a few degrees. Whoever dared to cause trouble at Civil Gallery must have eaten a bear’s heart! When Allison saw Anna’s reaction, her mouth curved into a cruel smile. She pointed to Philip, who had his hands stuffed in his pockets as he stood leisurely, and said, “That’s right. It’s that migrant worker over there. He’s not only causing trouble but was even delusional, saying that he wants to see you. I scolded him for a bit, but he said I didn’t have the right to be at Civil Gallery. Isn’t he an idiot?” Anna glanced coldly at Allison. Although she was not fond of Allison’s condescending tone, the girl was still one of her people, so she kept quiet. Anna then strutted elegantly over to Philip and asked with a straight face, “You’re the one causing trouble?” Philip glanced at this woman in front of him. She’s Anna Carter? Not bad. Gorgeous and very endearing. Philip did not answer but quietly t

    “Lloyd Zalman, who allowed you to come in here?” Anna denounced icily. She despised this shitty fat man because he had been coveting her for a long time now. Whenever he had time, Lloyd would come into her office and shamelessly tried to take her to a dinner date. He was also underhanded, always trying to bring his friends and family members into Civil Gallery through his connection. For example, Allison Cooper was one of the people he had brought in. “Anna Carter, what’s with your attitude? As the operations director of Civil Gallery, can’t I come here to take a rest?” Lloyd Zalman settled himself comfortably into the sofa. Like a huge pile of meat, he had layers of fats on his stomach that his shirt was threatening to burst open. “This is not somewhere you can enter. Leave immediately,” Anna pointed to the door and said coldly. The new owner was right here, but this idiot was so presumptuous. Lloyd chuckled then glanced at Philip and teased shamelessly, “You’re really somethi

    Philip smiled. “I’m here to take a look.” What a coincidence to run into Aiden here. “Take a look? What’s there for you to see?” Aiden sounded displeased. “Do you know where this is? Is this a place someone like you can enter? Get out this instant!” Aiden hated Philip. The broke man had stolen his goddess from him, and now, he even came to Civil Gallery for a stroll. Did this man not realize that he was tainting this gallery with his existence? Philip frowned slightly, feeling irked. “Why can’t I be here to look?” This Aiden Grant had no idea that the man standing in front of him was the new owner of Civil Gallery, so he still had the gall to look down on him. Philip felt disgusted. “Hahaha!” Aiden laughed out incredulously. “Philip, you’re such a fool. Do you know what kind of people are allowed in Civil Gallery?” “This, I really don’t know,” Philip calmly answered. Aiden tipped his chin up, already forgotten what he came here to do. When else would he humiliate Philip i

    At this time, Philip noticed something on the ground. He walked over and picked it up curiously. “Philip, that thing fell from the old octopus just now. I wonder what it is. Maybe it’s a rare treasure!” Rabbit popped out and looked at Philip excitedly, attracted by this shiny object. “Isn’t that the core of a monster beast? Wow, this octopus was so powerful that it could even produce a core! It’s a pity that it bumped into someone like me, who eats octopuses without leaving anything behind.” Philip collected the core that the octopus had developed for tens of thousands of years and grinned at the carcass that lay in his space. Only monster beasts that had practiced for tens of thousands of years could produce such a precious thing, so Philip hardly saw any. Philip had not killed any beasts with tens of thousands of years of practice, so he had only heard of it. “I’m surprised that this guy gave me such a precious thing. In that case, we must have a good meal to show our a

    “Philip, I sense a weird presence. I think something is after us. Do you think it’s the octopus’ father?” Rabbit scowled, feeling they should leave at once. “Didn’t you explore the cave thoroughly just now? Did you find other monsters inside?” Philip frowned and explored with his senses. Although he was very strong and sensitive, he could not sense approaching danger like a monster beast. A normal monster beast could sense up to tens of thousands of yards but Philip could only sense thousands of yards at most. That was the ultimate difference between humans and monster beasts. Rabbit was worried. It did not consider this problem. “I was so busy looking for the way out just now that I overlooked this problem. Who would know that the octopus had a father?” Before Philip could retort, they felt the world spinning around them, and a huge tentacle hit Philip. Philip pressed Rabbit down and turned around to dodge as quickly as he could. He knew that a powerful being was here. “

    “Haha, but I never planned to let you go either. In that case, don’t blame me for doing this!” The octopus' huge tentacle twitched as if it were going to teach Philip a lesson. Philip sneered at this scene. This little octopus was quite interesting. Although the octopus claimed that it would not harm Philip, Philip could read its thoughts from its eyes and actions. This octopus was more than met the eye. He would have died if he listened to its nonsense. “Hehe, I'm not hungry now. I’ll keep you and the rabbit as my food rations. Let’s see if you can escape my clutches!” The octopus swung its tentacles and sent all the surrounding gravel flying, creating chaos. “Philip, that thing is so full of itself. Let’s stop wasting time with it and leave at once. I've found the exit. It’s right in front of us!” Rabbit hopped up to Philip and pointed out the route it found. Philip let Rabbit go earlier so it could find the way out. Although Philip wanted to eat the octopus, he knew that

    “I wanted to let you go, but I've changed my mind. Leave this rabbit behind as my supper and you can leave safely. Otherwise, you can never escape. Since you're here for the ruins, you won't leave empty-handed. Let’s make a deal.” The octopus seemed very confident that Philip would give Rabbit up. Rabbit glared daggers at the octopus, shocked that it wanted to eat it for no reason. “I know many secrets about this place. If you strike the deal with me, I can tell you some secrets so that you can go through the King’s Ruins smoothly.” The octopus seemed to read Philip’s thoughts and tried to convince him to agree to the deal.Seeing that, Philip pretended to be tempted. “Really? That's great. It’s a good deal to get so many secrets with just one rabbit.” Philip placed Rabbit on his palm and shook it in front of the octopus. “But you have to tell me the secrets first or I’m afraid you won’t keep to your promise. I’m definitely no match for you. I won't gain anything if you go

    The tentacle’s target was the bird in front of Philip. “It’s really strange to see a bird in this place.” Philip grabbed the bird and threw it to the tentacle, which caught the bird without noticing Philip’s presence. Philip followed along, curious to see what the tentacle belonged to. The tentacle looked like it belonged to a squid, which seemed quite appetizing. However, Philip did not think the tentacle was an easy opponent to deal with. The other party was clearly a force to be reckoned with, but it was not very sensitive to its surroundings. Philip had been here for quite long, but the tentacle had not discovered his presence. It was clearly a creature with a poor reaction. He was very curious to find out what creature this tentacle belonged to. He followed the direction where the tentacle disappeared but saw no end to the path. His hard work finally paid off, though. Through his relentless tracking, Philip finally found the body of the tentacle but was surprised by

    “Are you sure you want to go in?” Rabbit jerked awake from its daze and crawled out of Philip's arms. “In that case, you should choose someone who isn't afraid to die,” Rabbit said tauntingly as if it was ready to watch the fun. Yule was startled by Rabbit’s sudden appearance and nasty remark. Although Philip had not formally introduced Rabbit, he knew that Rabbit was Philip’s pet, a powerful creature that most people could not afford to offend. Although rich people would tend to mess around with similar monster pets, a creature like Rabbit that had developed intelligence and could speak to humans were few and far between. “With all sorts of dangers below, you can give it a try if you’re not afraid to die. Of course, I’d advise against it. After all, you’re very weak,” Rabbit scorned Yule while telling him the truth. It was very mean, indeed. Philip shook his head helplessly while Rabbit intimidated others. He was more determined to cook Rabbit now. “Based on the informatio

    “Are these things good enough for you? You haven’t seen anything yet.” Yule was embarrassing. If his people dared to do this, Philip would explode. He would never allow his people to act this way. “Yeah, the pills and weapons we found along the way are simply amazing. I can’t imagine what we’ll find in the real treasure vault. I’m sure even you’ll be won over.” They did not encounter any dangers or difficult creatures along the way as if they had passed the test. However, they did not find any trace of the King’s Ruins either, which puzzled Philip. “Is the so-called King’s Ruins referring to these useless things?” Philip frowned and glanced around. If this was the so-called King’s Ruins, he would be very disappointed. Rabbit popped out and waved its paw at Philip, clearly trying to say something. “Philip, you’re too much. Do you really think these things are worthless? Maybe you don’t find them valuable, but they're seen as priceless treasures to others. Most people can’t e

    “Yule's father is seriously injured, and his strength has reduced significantly. He’ll die if he can’t find an expert to cure him. Do you think Yule can act so arrogantly if his father dies? There’s no way he can do that anymore.” Mason’s words gave everyone the hope to replace Yule. Yule had used his identity to gain a lot of benefits in Deadly Arena. Although no one said anything, they longed to do the same too. “If you can do this for me, I promise you the same treatment. You'll enjoy no less than what Yule has.” Mason was confident that since Sienna was on his side, it would soon be his time to soar to greater heights. It would then be impossible for these people to mess with him. He could easily deal with anyone from Deadly Arena who dared to oppose him. With Sienna’s strength, he could do whatever he wanted. “As long as you help me get what I want, I’ll give you whatever you want. That’s a promise,” Mason said smugly. Everyone was surprised and looked forward to i

    “I’m surprised that these golems are so difficult to deal with. I thought we could crush them easily!” “If we had known earlier, we would've taken our time and let Philip’s people deal with them!” Everyone regretted it, but no one knew what to do now that the golems were in front of them. Mason gritted his teeth and led the fight. It was a matter of life and death, and no one could be excluded. These golems were difficult for Lyle to deal with, not to mention these losers. They suffered heavy casualties, and everyone was injured to some extent. Fortunately, they brought a lot of supplies with them. They had many pills to heal wounds and could save their lives for the time being. “One golem caused us such casualties. We’ll be in trouble if more golems turn up.” Someone glanced at Mason in a panic. The same man who spoke gulped and expressed his opinion, “I think we should work with Yule and the others.
