Juan looked as if he was being suffocated. He did not expect Philip to find him so soon! He leisurely poured himself a glass of wine, drank most of it, and said coldly, “You ruined my Parker family, my father died because of you, and I became the way I am because of you. The relationship between us has soured since long ago. “Since you already found out that I’m the one behind it, the ball is in your courtyard now. What do you want to do?” Juan looked at Philip calmly with deep hatred in his eyes. Philip frowned and said, “Whatever happened back then was caused by you. I already took into account our brotherhood by not killing you. But you repeatedly tried to harm me. This has crossed my bottom line.” Haha. Juan laughed and said, “Philip, at this point, why are you still pretending in front of me? I know enough about who you are. I just can’t understand why you keep hiding the truth from Wynn if you’re so capable.” Philip shook his head and said, “This is my personal matt
The girl looked like a fairy while the guy was so ordinary. Philip felt the strange gazes around him and helplessly pulled away Lydia’s little hand. He frowned and asked, “Why are you here?” Lydia grumbled and rolled her eyes at Philip. She took Philip’s arm again and said coquettishly, “I miss you, so I’m here to see you.” Philip immediately felt his scalp tingling. He was not that charming, right? Philip pulled Lydia’s arm away again and smiled apologetically, saying, “I’m already married. By doing this, you’re not being responsible to yourself.” To his surprise, Lydia’s mind worked in peculiar ways. She grumbled under her breath, “It doesn't matter if you’re married or not, I can be your lover. You can spare two days in a week to accompany me.” What the heck?! Philip felt that there was a problem with this girl's worldview. How could she talk about the topic of being a lover so casually? “I suggest you see a doctor. You’re still young. There’s no need for you to wa
This was a coffee shop constructed in a waterfront layout, with white walls and black tiles as well as little gazebos connected by little bridges over the flowing water. In general, the architectural pattern of this coffee house was very distinctive. At the same time, in the most exclusive room in this coffee house, there were already seven or eight young men and women sitting there. They were all dressed fashionably. At first glance, one could tell that they were not the children of ordinary people. In the room were four small but exquisite solid wood tables and also several landscape paintings on the walls, looking very artistic. At each table was a dedicated server, brewing coffee for the young men and women sitting on the sofa. How elegant! On the table were many keys to different cars, such as Ferrari, Porsche, and Maserati—all of which were very luxurious. The young ladies also carried branded handbags such as Gucci, LV, and Chanel. It was a gathering of the rich
Faye pointed at Philip in disbelief and said, “Lydia, are you crazy? This is your boyfriend?” Immediately after, she glanced at Philip for a few moments before laughing. Lydia was too funny. How could this person be her boyfriend? Even if she had found someone to pose as one, she should at least find one with better qualifications. This one was no better than a beggar on the streets. Everyone’s strange looks also fell on Philip in an instant. The handsome man with the crew cut also got up and looked at Philip. He asked with raised brows, “Lydia, where did you find this fake boyfriend? Doesn’t he look too shabby?” Lydia was a little unhappy and said coldly to the guy, “Cody Uber, what my boyfriend looks like has nothing to do with you!” Cody chuckled, shook his head helplessly, and glanced at Philip. He waved his hand and warned, “Friend, if you know what’s good for you, you should leave quickly. This is not the place for someone like you, and we’re not people you can ho
After Philip finished speaking, the whole room fell deadly silent! Everyone looked at the man sitting in front of Andrew in disbelief. Too arrogant! Who did he think he was? He actually wanted to pay five million for Andrew to get lost? This guy must be a lunatic. “What?” Andrew was a little lost. He never expected a country bumpkin like Philip to say such a thing! Five million for him to get lost?! The corners of Andrew’s mouth tugged upward in a sneer with hideous coldness. Faye immediately shook her head and sneered mockingly, “Oh my, another poser. I thought he’s just a jerk but I didn’t expect him to be a braggart too! Hey, do you know who you’re talking to? He’s the third young master of the Yarrow family, the top ten biggest families in national martial arts! Andrew’s personal assets have reached hundreds of millions! Are you trying to use wealth to compare to him? You’re too oblivious!” What a moron! Was he putting on an act because Lydia was here? “Ha
Andrew’s punch suddenly stopped half an arm away from Philip's cheek and could not advance another inch! Except for Lydia, everyone else could not believe that Philip actually blocked Andrew’s punch! Andrew shouted angrily, “How dare you fight back?! You must be tired of living!” With that said, his whole body was full of murderous intent as he threw another punch at Philip! “You’re too slow. It turns out there’s nothing more to the Yarrow family.” Philip shook his head as he threw a punch toward Andrew’s incoming fist! Bang! Crack! The sound of bones breaking! Argh! A miserable howl came from the private room of the coffee shop. Andrew’s fist immediately twisted out of shape. He stepped back again and again as big beads of sweat rolled off his forehead! Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw this scene! This… It was simply inconceivable! Faye’s words were stuck in her throat as she stared at Philip fixedly. Her heart was already overwhelmed and full of tu
Hearing Philip's question, the expression on Andrew's face became mocking and menacing. “Hehe, why? Are you afraid now? To tell you the truth, it's too late! Fighting me means you’re going against the entire Yarrow family! Only one result awaits you, and that’s to end up a cripple!” Andrew sneered wickedly, his eyes full of chills. The way he saw it, the guy in front of him had just learned a few skillful moves. However, going against the Yarrow family was nothing but seeking death! Over there, Cody, who had fallen to the ground, also shouted angrily, “Young Master Andrew, you must break his limbs! Finish him off! F*ck! My legs!” Cody supported himself up from the ground and sat at the side. His leg was broken! After coming back to their senses, Faye and the others also pointed at Philip agitatedly while shouting, “You piece of rubbish! How dare you do this to Andrew and Cody?! You’re dead!” “Lydia Jensen, is this the boyfriend you found? He’s dead!” “Andrew, kill h
Right then, a housekeeper rushed into the meeting room and whispered into Norbert’s ear, “Second Old Master, Young Master Andrew was beaten in the coffee shop. The other party even bragged about it. Jacob Jensen’s great-granddaughter was present as well.” Bam! Norbert exploded in anger, slapped a palm on the table, and roared, “Insolence! Turning a blind eye to the Yarrow family? What's the meaning of this?! Did Jacob arrange this on purpose? Is he trying to provoke the Yarrow family?” Everyone was puzzled and started discussing. Then, the core figures of the Yarrow family got angry and roared, “I think the old guy Jacob deliberately arranged for someone to test the Yarrow family’s limits!” “We can't just let this go. We must demand an explanation!” Norbert clenched his fist, waved his hand, and said, “Let’s go! I want to see who dares to attack the descendants of the Yarrow family! That person is looking for death!” Looking back to Philip's side, he was sitting on the so
“You never considered the consequences when you tried to take advantage of us. We brought them here, and they have the right to choose. Don't think about taking advantage.” Philip nodded at Fitz’s attitude. Sure enough, he liked this earnest man and was happy with his point of view. “If you want something, you need to pay a price for it. As I mentioned, I’m a businessman, so I prefer fair trade. I’m more than happy if you want to discuss a deal with me.” In fact, they had reached an agreement before the spider people arrived. Philip would not help the other three races for free, but he was not bad enough to charge them fees either. However, the spider people were different. Not to mention that Philip had a bad impression of them, but Rabbit’s grudge also remained unavenged. The spider people scowled at Philip’s disrespect, which was simply outrageous. The other races laughed gloatingly. The spider people had always been arrogant and domineering, preventing their developme
“I'm afraid that the snake people will strike a deal with him and monopolize everything.” The old man anxiously led everyone in the direction of the snake people. They could not miss the chance to share a piece of the pie. However, he did not intend to tell his people about it. The other two races no longer existed in the outside world, so it did not matter if they could not leave. It would be best to let their legends fade away in history. That idea was very selfish. Just when he thought he could grab all the benefits by stealth, the snake people shared the information without keeping it a secret. However, the snake people only shared the news with the other two races. They did not have a good impression of the spider people and even had the idea of leaving them behind. When the spider people hurried over, they found a crowd. They saw not only the young ones of the snake people but also those from the other two races. The other two races were the turtles and magpies. Just li
The old man felt annoyed when he saw the two women not getting along. He knew that the holy maidens of the family would face a lot of struggles. Ambitious women would try every means to cause trouble just to destroy the status of the holy maidens. By doing so, they could find ways to replace them. It was an underhanded method but effective. After all, not everyone could cope with the distinguished status of the holy maiden. One mistake could be fatal. Therefore, a holy maiden had to be prideful and flawless, just like an untainted and pure white lotus. The old man nodded thoughtfully. He did not think that Arachne looked like the holy maiden, and his suspicions were confirmed. She was not the holy maiden at all. Actions spoke louder than words. Arachne did not carry a regal bearing, so she would not act like a queen even if she wore a crown. At first, the old man wondered why the spider family would choose someone so unbefitting for the role of the holy maiden. Now that
At this point, an old man walked over. Although they usually maintained their true form, they sometimes took on a human form. Unlike the snake people who did not look very different between the two forms, the spider people looked outrageous in their true forms. “Are you one of the younger generation from outside?” The old man was curious to see the younger children's arrival at this place today. As someone who could not wait to make an impression, Arachne rushed forward and began to introduce herself. In short, Arachne was gradually taking over Ariadna’s position. Although the others were annoyed, they did not say anything because Arachne was really putting in some effort. There was no point in arguing about such things. The most important thing was to remove their curse. The old man was very excited and could not wait to welcome them. “This is wonderful. It has been thousands of years since we saw an outsider!” His eyes gleamed with excitement. “Tell me how you got in,” he
“Now that the spider people have found new blood, I’m afraid that things will worsen.” At this point, Fitz sighed helplessly. Rabbit jumped out at this time. He hated the spider people. Hearing their shameless behavior, Rabbit was agitated. “Sure enough, those spiders are up to no good. Philip, why don’t we just get rid of them? Take it as revenge for me!” Rabbit waved his paw and looked at Philip excitedly. He knew that only Philip could help him. The spiders might not be strong, but they had strength in numbers. They were not people to be trifled with. While Philip and the others were chatting, Ariadna and her people found the spider people. Arachne was very excited and smug, waiting to take all the credit. “As I said, we can find something we've been looking for if we enter this place! Sure enough, following Philip can help us overcome all difficulties and find our ancestral land and predecessors. So what if they're trapped here? They must have many more treasures and secr
They could also see some toddlers, which proved that the predecessors were living quite a good life. “We thought you had ascended to another place. Is this the place you ended up? It doesn’t look like the paradise described in the books!” Selma blinked innocently, wondering why this place looked like this. This place was not rich in energy, and there was nothing special about it, so it was not attractive at all. “We didn’t ascend but have been trapped in this place over the years with no way to leave.” Fitz did not want to deceive them and simply told them the facts. Now that they had entered, the newcomers had no way of leaving either. “Didn’t you notice? The passage that led you in has been sealed. There’s no way to leave now.” Selma turned her head curiously and looked at the exit. Philip followed suit and found that it was indeed the case. The exit was blocked by a huge stone. No one knew when the stone appeared. It felt like it appeared out of thin air. Philip's ex
When Philip’s eyes adjusted to the light, he saw a gurgling stream in front of him. There was a small village beside the stream and many more villages along the stream. Philip counted four in total. The villagers who lived along the stream observed Philip as he looked at them. “Outsiders?” A man standing in the front stared at Philip in surprised disbelief. Philip noticed that he had a snake tail. Hearing the man's words, everyone ran out. Without exception, they all had a snake tail. It was clear that they belonged to the same race as Selma. Selma covered her mouth in shock at this scene. It was true. Their predecessors were staying there. The man mellowed down after seeing Selma. He felt a familiar vibe on her. It seemed that they shared the same bloodline. Philip nudged Selma, who quickly understood his meaning and showed her true form. Cavin followed her cue. Seeing this scene, the man laughed and applauded. The spider people arrived at this time. They were surpri
Philip finally realized that Ariadna was not wealthy enough to do business with him. “This emerald pendant is very valuable! Don’t look down on it just because you’re strong!” Ariadna grumbled under her breath but had no choice but to accept it. After all, Philip had the final say about its value. Maybe her treasure was worthless to Philip because he was too strong for it. After taking the emerald pendant, Philip told Ariadna what he knew per their agreement, which was the secret about people living in the ancestral land. As expected, Ariadna was shocked by the news too. “Are you serious? This is too far-fetched. Are you saying that our predecessors have been trapped here and haven't left for another place?” Her outburst gave Philip a different idea. When he spoke to Selma earlier, he subconsciously believed that these so-called predecessors had ascended. It was strange that they reached a very odd place of ascension. After hearing Ariadna’s remark, however, it seemed mor
No one knew if their predecessors would treat them as their own. Although they had the same bloodline, they had not seen each other for such a long time. Besides, they sneaked into the ancestral land without permission. Maybe they would be killed before they stepped inside. Philip’s information was very useful, indeed. Selma quickly returned to her family members in a panic and discussed with them. With only a few of them, the discussion was very brief before they reached a decision. Cavin grimaced at this unexpected development, and he was more in awe of Philip. He was shocked by Philip’s strength. If Philip could sense that, his observation skill was nothing in front of Philip! Cavin felt helpless about it. It felt a little embarrassing to have shown off his skill in front of Philip now. “Selma, what should we do now? We have to consider the stalkers behind us. They won’t give up that easily. We may be in trouble if we don't find a way to get rid of them.” Cavin glanced at th
