Here, Philip followed Anson Goode to his sister’s villa. Unfortunately, Janice was not around. Philip had made the trip for nothing. In desperation, Philip, who had waited for half an hour, finally chose to leave. He would return tomorrow. As for Anson, he accompanied Philip the entire time. Seeing that Philip was about to leave, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and respectfully said, “Excuse me, Mr. Clarke, it just happens that there’s a private banquet for all the owners in this community. Those attending are famous people in Uppercreek. Since you’re the most distinguished owner in this community, I wonder if you’d be interested to show up at the banquet hall later?” Philip thought for a while and found it difficult to decline Anson’s hospitality, so he nodded and said, “Let’s go.” Anson was overjoyed. He was able to invite the super owner of the Bird of Paradise Villa to tonight’s banquet. His future career progression was bound to be unstoppable! The Bird of
He was almost at the limit of endurance. If he was not concerned about causing unnecessary trouble after hitting Yolanda, Philip would have made a move long ago! “What did you say? Philip, don’t tell me you want to remain here obstinately. Let me tell you, we’re not in the same class. Look at your own appearance, then look at us. Someone like you wants to get into the upper-class circle?” Yolanda continued to chastise, “Look at the people present. All of them come from wealthy families or have successful careers. A pauper like you, with the cheap clothes on your back, is nothing but an oddball! Now that your family is bankrupt, you have to accept the reality! Just be a useless piece of trash quietly! I advise you to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the manager here asks about it, you’ll definitely not be able to escape!” At this moment, a waitress trotted in. Seeing this scene, she walked up to Philip in fear. When she saw the wine tray on the floor, she hurriedly ben
“I’m the young master of the Dean family in Uppercreek. My dad is the coach of Uppercreek’s security forces, and my grandfather is also the retired coach!” After he finished speaking, he looked at Philip amusedly. “Now, do you still want to go against me?” “The Dean family? Are they very powerful?” Philip retorted unwaveringly. “Haha.” Gill smiled cruelly before stepping forward and glaring at Philip fiercely. “Since I grew up, you’re the first person who dares to provoke the Dean family like this. “I’ll let you know how big the gap between us is, just like the geese in the sky and the ants on the ground!” Philip smiled faintly. When he was about to speak, a middle-aged man with a dignified face pushed the crowd away and walked over. “What’s going on? Who dares to make trouble at the banquet for the owners of Blossoms Park? Don’t you know the banquet tonight is hosted by Sam Cohen of the Soaring Real Estate Group?” “Oh, Supervisor Sandler is here. This wretched man fr
“Manager Goode?” Supervisor Sandler was taken aback before he yelled mockingly, “Presumptuous! What right do you have to mention Manager Goode? Do you think we’re at a small gathering where you can talk about him so casually?” The audience’s blood boiled at his words. “Supervisor Sandler, hurry up and get rid of this rubbish!” “This idiot is really good at bragging.” “A poor place like Riverdale is really good at producing rubbish. It’s really shocking.” At this time, everyone’s gaze at Philip was full of disdain and contempt. Philip frowned slightly at these countless accusations. Supervisor Sandler did not want to delay this matter any further, so he turned his head and shouted, “Where’s the security guard? Hurry up and throw this filthy guy out for me.” “Sneaking into the private banquet for the owners of Blossoms Park is not an easy act to forgive. Call the cops too. I want to see what the police have to say about someone sneaking into private territory.” Everyo
This jerk turned out to be Anson’s distinguished guest? How could that be? It must be known that everyone present tonight had to be polite in front of Manager Goode. With Anson’s distinguished identity, how did he get to know a bum in shabby clothes like Philip? He tried to defend himself. “I didn't know that this gentleman was invited by you. If I knew, how would I possibly dare to do this?” Anson remained unmoved. Instead, he smiled apologetically to Philip and said, “Sorry, I’m late. “I didn't expect my subordinates to be so ignorant and cause such trouble.” With that said, Anson was full of anger. What kind of person was Philip Clarke? Manager Goode’s distinguished guest! He was the person with the highest status tonight! He was the owner of Bird of Paradise Villa! Even Sam Cohen had given specific instructions that he must invite Mr. Clarke upstairs for a private meeting. These people had chastised Philip so much and even tried to kick him out of the banq
He looked at Gil reproachfully. “Is Mr. Clarke someone you can humiliate casually?” “I’ll talk to your father about this matter myself.” After he finished speaking, he ignored Gil's pale face, turned his head to Philip, and whispered in his ear, “Mr. Clarke, Mr. Cohen and a few friends are waiting for you upstairs.” “Sure.” Philip nodded, glanced at Gil Dean lightly, then smiled before turning away. Supervisor Sandler could not take it anymore. He slumped to the ground, his face pale. Gil lowered his head and gritted his teeth with his fists clenched. That final look from Philip seemed to be ridiculing him, turning into a sharp sword and piercing his self-esteem fiercely. “That son of a b*tch!” After the two walked away, Gil finally exploded. He took the wine glass from the nearby table and smashed it on the ground. “How does he know Anson Goode? This is impossible!” The moment Yolanda had seen Anson, her expression could not help but change slightly as she excl
The two took a seat, and Anson accompanied him next to him. After a round of toast, Sam immediately broached the topic and said, “Mr. Clarke, this time, Soaring Real Estate Group has decided to set up a real estate company in Riverdale to expand our business there. When the time comes, we hope you can extend some help, Mr. Clarke.” If they could get some help from Philip, or rather, an investment, then the ten-year plan of Soaring Real Estate Group in Riverdale would face no problems at all! By itself, the Soaring Real Estate Group of Sam Cohen had a certain influence. In Uppercreek, it was one of the three giants in the real estate industry. However, Riverdale was different; its waters ran deep. Moreover, Philip was different, and the background he came from was different. Through Hoyt Luther, Sam already knew and understood this point deeply. He and Hoyt had been friends in private for many years, and naturally, they knew the true identity of Philip Clarke! When he wa
Philip’s eyes were cold as he shook his hand directly, brushing away Yolanda's arm. Smack! Philip responded in kind, slapping Yolanda’s face angrily while saying, “Yolanda Lee, that’s enough! You keep challenging my patience time and again! If not for the sake of our acquaintance, I’d have dealt with you a long time ago!” Every person had a limit. Philip Clarke was no exception! He had always kept a low profile and did not wish to cause any trouble most of the time, especially now that he was looking for his sister Hannah Clarke. He did not want news of his actions to be spread or to cause a sensation as it would only lead him to be noticed by people with ulterior motives. That was why he had been deliberately restraining his temper. However, Yolanda’s actions had crossed the limit! Yolanda was stunned, clutching her pretty face while staring at Philip in disbelief. “You... How dare you hit me?!” Yolanda’s eyes widened, and the anger in her heart surged. Why had she
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
