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
Wynn’s eyes widened. They had been married for so long, but even now she did not know about Philip’s past. His parents did not even congratulate them in person at their wedding.Wynn had asked him many times before this, but he had glossed over the question every time.After a long time, Wynn began to assume that Philip was an orphan who did not want to relive his painful past, so she stopped asking.However, the way Philip held himself today, his methods or rather his attitude, all of it was vastly different from the mild-mannered wimp he had always been before.He had changed. All of a sudden, she could not quite recognize him anymore.Even so, Wynn could tell that his love for her was sincere.“Are you finally willing to tell me?” Wynn asked uncertainly.Philip nodded and looked up at the deep sky. Keeping a completely straight face, he said, “Actually, Wynn, my family is quite wealthy. I never told you because I had a huge fight with my parents and ran away from home.”“You
All the wrongs and pressure she had suffered these past few days made her collapse in an instant.It was all so much for her that she hammered his chest with her little fists, berating him softly, “It’s all your fault. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I went begging and pleading everywhere. Don’t you know I never begged anyone for anything before? Sob…”Wynn cried her heart out. Philip hugged her even more tightly. “Sorry, Wynn, it was my fault. I promised you that I would give you and Mila a bright future. Please believe me.”More than five minutes passed like that before Wynn’s emotions finally settled down.After that, she asked Philip worriedly, her eyes red, “Since you got into such a huge fight with your parents, do you still have enough money to pay for Mila’s surgery?”Philip was a little awkward and sheepish as he said, “Actually, I have a card. It probably has a couple million in there. I never took it out before because I didn’t want to scare you. You don’t have to worry
Martha was beyond furious!‘This good-for-nothing thinks that he can afford it? Does he think that he has the money? At this point in time, this useless piece of trash is still holding on to his ego shamelessly.’ Martha glared at Philip impatiently and said with a mocking sneer, "Philip, what did you just say? You don't want our family's 500,000 dollars and can afford it yourself? Okay, okay, so you're a big shot now? You think you’re too good for the Johnston family. Great, then you can divorce Wynn as soon as possible. My daughter is so beautiful, so she can easily marry into a wealthy family in the future!"Philip had a sullen expression. He said helplessly, "Mom, I actually have...""What do you have? You want to say that you are loaded?" Martha sneered disdainfully, then pointed at him before saying to Mila arrogantly, "If it weren't for you two, Wynn wouldn’t have to suffer so much. I wouldn’t be in a situation where I can't hold my head up high in front of my side of the fa
Smack!It was a crisp-sounding slap!Martha cursed at her, "Get out of this house! Don’t ever come back! You are no longer a child of mine!"It was heart-rending for Philip when he saw Wynn get slapped. He stared at Martha with an angry gaze, champing to tear her apart!Even if she was his mother-in-law, she had bullied Wynn, so Philip needed to step in to teach her a lesson!Philip put down Mila and walked over angrily with a daunting expression.Martha was also frightened and cried out, "You… What do you want to do?""You shouldn't hit Wynn," Philip said coldly. He had his fists squeezed tightly and he was trembling slightly.Wynn, with dazzling red imprints on her face, immediately stopped Philip. "Philip, calm down. Let's head home."She was really afraid that Philip would do something impulsive.If that happened, there would be no way out of it."Okay." Philip's expression gradually softened.Martha was very nervous at first. When she saw Wynn stepping in to stop Phili
Juan was startled. With a suspicious look, he said, "What do you mean?"Suddenly, he felt that the Philip in front of him today was a little different. However, he could not really put a finger on what was different about Philip.Philip said indifferently, "Don’t worry about it. I just want to tell you that I can do what you can't do."Philip had endured Juan's provocation for a long time.Today, he did not mind letting Juan know about his actual capabilities."Philip, have you gone mad? Are you trying to tell me that the patient that Professor Turner is meeting today is Mila?" Juan said in a mocking tone with a cold expression in his eyes.‘Who does this piece of trash think he is? Professor Turner is a legend. Even for someone with my background, I had to beg him for a long time. So how can someone like Philip get in contact with him?’Philip did not deny it but instead smiled faintly. "You'll find out in a while.""Okay, Philip, you have become a better liar now. Do you know
Juan was not to blame. After all, he did not have the capacity to think about why Professor Turner was coming to the emergency room.In Juan’s mind, the probability that the doctor that Philip had been in contact with was Professor Turner was impossibly low. Wynn was a little embarrassed. She did not want Philip to be looked down on again.Philip mentioned previously that he had been in contact with Professor Turner.However, no one believed him, not even Wynn.That was the case even after Philip opened up to her last night and told her that his family was fairly comfortable and that he had around two million dollars in savings.However, she was partial to Juan when it came to the matter of Professor Turner.After all, even if one had the money, one may not necessarily have the connection.Furthermore, Wynn still doubted whether Philip really had two million dollars."Philip, forget about it. Just apologize to Juan, there is no need to go on like this." Wynn looked at Philip
“You’re right. The mermaid is such a mysterious creature. How can anyone cure its poison?” Stanley smiled wryly, feeling sorry for himself. “Philip, you have to find a way to save my father. I’ll do anything for you if you can save him!” Yule grabbed Philip’s shoulders with agitation. He begged Philip and almost knelt at his feet. In Yule's opinion, Philip was an omnipotent and powerful existence. There was nothing he could not do. Likewise, Aslan and the others shared the same thought. Therefore, they were surprised when Philip said that he could not save Stanley. Philip sighed. In the past, he had been to places of a lower civilization where the natives were not very strong. He could do whatever he wanted and no one could do much to him even if they wanted to. However, Philip was not familiar with places of a higher civilization. Even Rabbit only knew a little and was hesitant to speak. Hence, Philip was not confident he could save Stanley. “Maybe that creature came fro
“Let’s stop making wild guesses and wait for Yule's father to explain. This creature doesn’t belong to this continent, so no one knows what’s going on.” Philip reached out and gently touched the scales in amazement. He felt that something was wrong with this mermaid. With that touch, he found that the mermaid’s scales were better than those of a dragon. Philip once found a dragon scale by chance, but the dragon scale was not as tough as the mermaid's scales. Moreover, the mermaid's scales could change into various shapes, which was amazing. “If the scales are used to make a weapon, it’ll definitely be the best treasure. Not only can it attack and defend, but also…” Before Philip could finish his words, he heard Yule's father coughing violently. He seemed in pretty bad shape. “Rascal, go and look at the fish. She’s not an ordinary fish but a mermaid I found by chance! According to ancient records, there are many similar creatures in the world of the gods, and they're a force
Almost everyone knew about the condition of Yule's father, and most of them were there to watch the fun. When Yule and the others appeared, some people could not wait to start taunting him. “Oh, you’re such a good son. Your father is already in this state, but you’re still in the mood to fool around outside. You should start preparing for your father’s wake!” “The miracle doctor has given a diagnosis, saying that your father has only a few more days to live. Stop wasting time and start preparing for the funeral!” Everyone mocked Yule, who was respected simply because of his father’s position. Now that Yule's father was dying, no one wanted to show him that respect anymore. Some people even planned to steal things from Yule’s house! With no one else to back him up, everyone thought that Yule did not deserve to stay in that luxurious house anymore. Hearing everyone’s taunts, Yule was so angry that he trembled all over, but now was no time to argue. He had to find out his fath
Very soon, everyone left the King’s Ruins. Philip had taken care of the danger, so they just had to collect the treasures. Yule and his team were grateful to Philip and flattered him along the way. After all, they would not have been able to leave the place alive so easily if not for Philip. The King’s Ruins were still dangerous even though they did not face any monsters head-on. They knew they managed to avoid most dangers because of Philip. At this moment, Yule’s communicator vibrated. Only his close family members had his contact, so Yule immediately felt a bad premonition. He walked to the corner with the communicator and spoke anxiously. It seemed that he had encountered some big trouble. Philip waited for Yule to return to the team without a word. Ten minutes later, Yule returned to the team. He looked very depressed as if he had encountered a big problem. Philip noticed his reaction but did not take the initiative to approach him. He knew that Yule would approach h
“Philip, look, I solved half the problem for you. The rest is up to you.” After saying this, Yule laughed triumphantly, blatantly disregarding Mason’s cold glare. Mason frowned and looked at Philip with apprehension. He could not verify Philip’s story, but if Philip was telling the truth, he would have lost the bet again. “Get out of our sight. We've wasted a lot of time because of you. Don't blame us for attacking you if you stay here any longer!” Aslan had a hot temper and kicked Mason when he noticed Mason's hesitance. Mason fell to the ground miserably and looked at Philip with murderous intent. “Let’s go and stop wasting our time here!” After saying this, Mason took the lead and ran away, unwilling to stay here a second longer. Philip’s strong power deterred him greatly, and Philip was not afraid of Sienna at all, which crushed Mason’s final confidence. Mason was best at using other people’s influence, but it was on the premise that others were willing to bow down to
Mason frowned at Aslan but did not respond. Philip said, “This guy has become Sienna’s underling. He’s here to find the Binary Herb for Sienna, which coincides with our purpose. Now, he wants me to hand it over or he’ll ask Sienna to kill me. I’m very scared,” Philip said sarcastically and could hardly contain his laughter. Hearing that, everyone was startled before bursting into laughter. They had been with Philip through thick and thin, so they knew who Sienna was. “No way, this guy is using Sienna to threaten Philip. Is he kidding?” “I’m sure he’ll be scared out of his wits if he finds out what really happened. This is ridiculous.” Philip’s men scoffed at Mason’s arrogance. Yule’s men were puzzled, wondering what was going on. “Before this, Philip almost killed a snake monster named Sienna. Unexpectedly, the snake monster escaped and found herself a human servant. On top of that, this human servant thinks so highly of himself as if he's very proud of his identity.” L
“Go and grab that thing for me. We have to get hold of it! Don’t let that guy steal our treasure. And remember to find the thing I want!” Mason ordered his men in a panic. Mason was startled by Philip’s speed of collecting things. Everyone quickly sprang into action. They were not fools. They would be penalized if they did not get things done. They raced against time to grab the treasures from Philip, but Philip was unfazed. He knew that all the treasures would fall into his hands in the end. Besides, the piles of treasures simply contained some pills and other stuff, nothing much. “Sir, we didn’t find the Binary Herb.” At this time, someone stepped forward to report their findings. Everyone was anxious when they realized they could not find the most important Binary Herb. Mason scowled at the bad news. “Impossible. The Binary Herb must be around somewhere.” The location of the Binary Herb was marked on his map. It had to be nearby. Mason looked around with the map
“Of course, an ignorant guy like you wouldn’t know what’s going on. This place is full of danger and had a powerful monster as a guardian. You don’t know anything because you’re unworthy.” Mason jerked his chin smugly, clearly proud that he knew some inside information. “If you beg me, I’ll consider going with you to deal with this monster.” In Mason’s opinion, Philip was no match for this monster. The bloodstains had to be from some weak monsters killed by Philip. According to his understanding, the legendary guardian snake monster was very powerful, not something ordinary people could deal with. “Don't you know why you’re here?” Philip said smugly. He knew that Mason was nothing but a pawn. Philip had seen through everything and was full of scorn for Mason’s nature. Mason was horrified that Philip knew him so well. “How did you know? I've been keeping this secret very well. No one should know about it. Did that snake woman tell you? That's impossible. She hates you very
Seeing this scene, Rabbit applauded excitedly. “You must be dreaming if you think you can fight Philip!” Rabbit said excitedly. Philip quickly killed the snake. He was surprised to find that the snake only had half of its body. He thought half of the snake was trapped in the stone, but it only had half a body left. “Did it grow from the stone?” Rabbit was shocked, wondering what was going on. “Something is wrong with this monster beast. It’s actually growing from the stone. How strange!” Philip was surprised by the strange discovery. “Indeed. It looks very strange, not like a good guy at all.” Rabbit was horrified and felt that the snake was more than met the eye. “Philip, look at this. Is it a description of this monster beast?” Rabbit looked at a huge stone tablet on the side in puzzlement. “Philip, look, I think this snake has something to do with that snake woman!” Rabbit was surprised to see what was written on the stone tablet and pulled Philip over for a look. The
