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
Philip frowned deeply, frost in his eyes.Aiden patted Philip’s shoulder proudly and said, “I bet you’ll never guess this. It’s already this late in the night, and yet Wynn suddenly invited me to meet here!”Hahaha!That felt amazing!Aiden was ecstatic to see just how ugly Philip’s complexion would turn!Any man would fly off the handle to hear that his wife was meeting another man this late at night.However, Philip just smiled calmly and said, “Oh, and your point is?”He was cool and collected, as though it did not concern him at all.Aiden felt like he was getting an aneurysm.How could Philip stand something like that?“What the f*ck, Clarke! Your wife is secretly meeting me, so why aren’t you mad at all? Don’t you think we might do something a little more after dinner? Aren’t you worried?”Aiden’s words were like arrows shot to the heart.Any normal man would be raring for a fight after that.However, Philip was different.He trusted Wynn, wholly and unconditionall
A slender figure immediately walked up to them. Slap!There was the crisp sound of an unhesitating slap, hitting Philip right across the face. The pain was instant and unbearable. Wynn's face was flushed red with fury. She glared at Philip, yelling, "What on earth were you trying to do, Philip Clarke?!"The first thing she saw as soon as she walked through the door was Philip about to punch Aiden.Of course Wynn was furious!She had invited Aiden out here today so she could borrow one million from him for Mila's surgery fee. If they made an enemy out of Aiden now, where else was she going to find the money?Her parents had left them completely out to dry. They told her in no uncertain terms that they would not give her a single cent unless she divorced Philip.That was why Wynn had no other choice. The only people she could think of were Juan and Aiden.She glared at Philip and then turned around. When she saw that Aiden's nose was bleeding, her anger only intensified. S
Wynn was shocked somewhat out of her wits.Why would they call Philip… Mr. Clarke?Wait!This man… This man was the owner of Virtuous Court, Javier Morris!He had personally attended Wynn’s father’s birthday party last time, bringing with him good wine and even a platinum membership card!Besides, Wynn clearly remembered that he had mentioned Mr. Clarke last time too.Back then, everyone was looking down on Philip, so naturally they would never associate that name with him. Only Wynn paid a little extra attention to that, though soon she too forgot about that as well.Now, though… Right here and now...Javier had approached them once again. This time, he was respectfully calling her husband Mr. Clarke!No matter how ignorant Wynn might be, by now she would have started to piece some things together.So that night, Javier had given her father that gift in Philip’s stead, huh?It went without saying that Philip noticed the gears turning in Wynn’s head.Crap. She must be onto
He hung up.Aiden’s entire face was red from the laughter he was holding back. Soon, though, he burst out laughing with Dan and the others, pointing at Philip and taunting him, “Well, f*ck me sideways! Philip, are you a f*cking idiot? You want to destroy my dad’s company and mine in ten minutes? You?”Aiden was so angry that all he could do was laugh. Had Philip gone absolutely insane?However, Philip merely smiled calmly and said, “You’ll know soon enough.”At the same time, George was already getting to work on his end.It was ridiculously easy for him to take down Splendor Education Group and Stardream Media.He just had to dig up some dirt on them, right? Easy peasy.Soon enough, thanks to George’s machinations, he received files full of Splendor Education Group and Stardream Media’s dirtiest secrets.George just gave the information a glance before handing them to his subordinates for follow-up.After that, he picked up his phone and called his young master. “It’s all
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
