Philip was beyond furious!Someone had hit Wynn, that was unforgivable!When she saw how angry Philip was, Wynn hurriedly grabbed his arms and explained, "It’s a misunderstanding, no one laid their hands on me, it’s just...it’s just me being clumsy."Wynn was diffident, she did not want to see Philip causing trouble because of her.After all, not only was it the company where she worked, but it was also the new vice president, the lover of the chairman, who hit her.It was not worth it."This is an accident?" Philip's eyes were sharp, he would not believe what Wynn had said."It’s really just me being clumsy, it has nothing to do with anyone."Wynn held onto Philip and kept trying to calm him down. "Philip, don't you believe me?"Philip became quiet when he heard that.He could see that Wynn did not want to cause trouble, but he felt very uncomfortable if he did nothing about it.Philip felt helpless. He reached his hand out and touched her delicate cheek, and asked in a gen
"Philip, get straight to the point. As long as it's something to do with the company, I will definitely know something about it," Mindy said.Gifts do blinds the eye.Philip pondered for a moment and asked, "Yesterday, did someone hurt Wynn?"“....”Mindy was taken aback. She wiped her mouth and looked like she was struggling internally. Finally, she nodded and said, "Well, there’s a new Vice President that joined our company. Her name is Yasmin, she is our chairman's lover.""Why did she hit Wynn?""Yasmin thought that Wynn had hooked up with Mr. Hall, so she did it as a warning to Wynn.""Where did this take place?""In the office...She slapped Wynn twice in front of all the colleagues. I really felt that Wynn was wronged. Yasmin is really overbearing. With the chairman at her beck and call, she has already slapped several people in the company," Mindy said bitterly.Suddenly, Mindy seemed to have thought of something; her eyes opened wide and she asked, "Philip, don’t tell
The domineering Yasmin slapped Wynn on the face, coming from left, right, and center.Yasmin posed as someone who was extremely arrogant and aggressive who treated anyone as she pleased."Wynn, I can squish you like a bug! Let me tell you this, right here right now, if you dare to show up to the company tomorrow, I will send a dozen beggars to r*pe you. Do you take my word for it?!"Yasmin was wildly audacious. She pointed at Wynn's nose and warned her severely.At that moment, Wynn's hair was unruly, her face was red and full of slap marks.No one who was watching outside the door stepped in and put a stop to Yasmin’s behavior.Who dared to do so?That was the lover of the chairman and also the new Vice President. One word from her would lead to them losing their jobs!Mindy was anxious, ‘Why hasn’t that good-for-nothing Philip here yet? If he doesn't come now, Wynn will be beaten to death!’Mindy knew she could not wait any longer, she rushed in and shouted, "Wynn, are you o
"You're Wynn's useless husband, Philip?" Yasmin sneered and showed her contempt for Philip.She had asked around previously and found out that Wynn had a good-for-nothing husband that worked as a food delivery man.‘So, this is him.’That was why Yasmin showed even more disdain than Wynn for Philip.She could mess with him as much as she liked.Philip's eyes were red. He stared at Yasmin and asked, "Are you Yasmin Lewis?"This woman could rot in hell for all that he cared!Yasmin answered very domineeringly, "Yes, I am Yasmin, the new Vice President of Beacon. Are you thinking of avenging your wife? Take a look at yourself in the mirror. I’m afraid you don’t know that your wife cheated on you and seduced my boyfriend. I’m teaching her a lesson on how to be a decent human being!"Yasmin felt that any man would be angry when they heard that their wife had an affair.She wanted to put Wynn in a difficult position.Wynn’s eyes were full of tears. She shook her head as she was cho
Arrogant! Rude! How could a useless bum like him boast so? That was a total joke! Yasmin was unconvinced. She was determined to make Philip pay for what he did, and get that seductress Wynn out of the company! The company was his boyfriend's, which meant that it was hers, too! Yasmin could not tolerate a more beautiful woman to be in the same company and pose a threat to her. Mindy stood next to Wynn. She gazed at Philip as though she was a young girl looking at her idol. 'That was too cool!' Mindy had always wanted her significant other to be as daring and assertive. Even so, she thought that he had acted too rashly. He had assaulted Yasmin Lewis, the vice-president of the company and the chairman's lover. What should she do? Mindy was conflicted. The gears in her brain turned, trying to think up a solution. She sneaked to one corner and discreetly sent a text message to her father. "Daddy, someone in the company beat up your super adorable and sweet daughter."
Of course not. Yasmin Lewis was his woman. The woman that slept with him every night. Derrick chose to ignore what Philip told him. "I don't care who you are. If you beat up someone in my company, you'll be responsible for it!" He said with an icy expression on his face. Alas, his judgment was blinded by a woman. He could never imagine that Philip was the mysterious person who had gotten George Thomas to call him. If he had known about that, he would have been on his knees begging for mercy by now. One could not blame Derrick though. Unfortunately, Wynn's husband was renowned as a useless bum. How would a useless bum cause an uproar in his company? Wynn could not believe that the usually reasonable Chairman Hall would act like that. He had asked Philip to take responsibility without investigating the issue. She was livid. She was about to stand up when she noticed Philip winking at her. Wynn discreetly sat back down. Philip calmly turned his head and looked at Der
Immediately, the intimate sounds of a man and a woman could be heard in the video. The woman was especially loud and dramatic. Derrick was shocked when he saw the video. What followed was raging anger! He could see that the woman in the video was none other than Yasmin Lewis, his lover for a year! Furthermore, she looked like she enjoyed it very much. More so than when she was in bed with him! Yasmin was also dumbstruck! She looked at the video with ever-increasing incredulity. "That's not me, darling. That's definitely not me. It's a fake video! It's edited!" She shook her head and tried to argue. Yasmin was very flustered and afraid! Slap! Derrick slapped Yasmin in a fit of rage. "I've spent a few million on you, Yasmin Lewis, and you sleep with another man behind my back?" Utter humiliation! Derrick Hall was played a cuckold. Furthermore, the entire company now knew about it. Yasmin was panicking. She covered her face, though that did not stop tears from flow
After they left the clinic, Wynn brought Philip to a cafe nearby and ordered two cups of coffee. "Philip, now that I've lost my job, what should we do?" She said worriedly. Earlier, she had resigned from her job on an impulse. She was beginning to regret it. Beacon paid her rather well, and they needed money urgently. Philip shrugged. "Don't worry, I'm still here. I'll make sure that you and our daughter won't starve," he said calmly. "Should I go talk to Chairman Hall?" Wynn asked him, blinking. That was one of the very few times she asked for Philip's opinion. She had this impression that Philip had changed. Somehow, he became more dependable and made her feel safe. "I think that your Chairman Hall will give you a call soon. He'll be begging you to go back to work," Philip said calmly. Wynn was surprised, then rolled her eyes at Philip. "That's just your imagination. Didn't you see just now that I told him I quit in front of his face? "Whatever. I'm not going to d
“Let’s walk ahead. I believe this is an illusion created by the stone man to confuse us. As long as we stay calm, he can’t do anything to us,” Philip said calmly as if he knew what was going on. He and Rabbit walked forward and soon saw a huge oasis in front of them. Rabbit was delighted to see the oasis because that meant there was still hope for them. Although the desert environment was harsh, they should be able to bump into some indigenous people and figure out what was going on. “Philip, are my eyes playing tricks on me? I see an oasis ahead of us. This is great. In that case, we can find a way out!” Rabbit knew that Philip had been looking for a way out but to no avail. Something had to be preventing him from doing it. They might have to pass a test before they could leave. In that case, they had to figure out the secret. Philip glanced at the oasis in front of him and relaxed a little. At least, he could tell that it was not a mirage. They excitedly ran to the oasi
The black shadow was not bothered about revealing its identity because it liked being a stone man. “The stone people have strong minds and a firm resolve. They're never as disgusting and selfish as humans. It's a pity that we didn't have a chance to develop. I found a fragmented scroll that recorded some techniques for development. Among them is a technique most suitable for the stone people to become stronger through a sacrificial ritual.” The stone man seemed very earnest as he explained the details, but he was, in fact, using this time to solidify his body until he was finally complete. “Haha, everything is over once I get rid of you!” the stone man laughed. His figure shook, and clouds of black energy formed again. However, the black energy was only aimed at Philip. In his opinion, the others would die once he got rid of Philip. Philip was surrounded by black energy before he could react. In a split second, he could not see anything around him. Seeing this, Rabbit rushe
Before this, these people kept insulting Philip and wished they could tear him into pieces. They even thought it was unlucky to see him here. Surprisingly, events took a sudden turn, and Philip became their savior instead. “Enough with the crap.” Philip did not want to respond to their gratitude. He just wished they could get the fight over and done with so that they could leave. “By the way, I'm curious about something.” As the fight reached the boiling point, Philip turned to the black shadow curiously. The black shadow was taken aback by Philip’s sudden remark. “What are you curious about?” The black shadow wanted to buy some time. It was just a step away from forming a solid entity, which could improve its strength significantly. Philip would have to think twice about dealing with it by then. Thus, the black shadow was excited that Philip wanted to chat with it. “How did you make that mysterious old man convey the news?” According to most people, they found out about
The black shadow gained strength by devouring other people’s flesh and blood. Philip knew that he might be no match for the black shadow once it devoured everyone present. After going through all the trouble, it would not let all its efforts go to waste. Philip's appearance had ruined its plan. It would probably go crazy if it could not devour these people. “No one can stop me today. So what if you’re strong? I don't believe you can save everyone!” After saying this, the black energy rushed to the merfolk. The merfolk ran to Philip in a panic, hoping that Philip could protect them. “Lyle,” Philip said. Philip was exasperated by these stupid merfolk. Lyle rushed forward and attacked the black energy. Back then, Philip had given them sachets to ward off evil energy. Lyle had a sudden idea and hurled a sachet at the black shadow. It was just an experiment, but it worked. After sensing the powder in Philip's sachet, the black energy shrank back and stopped moving as if it h
The black shadow was surprised that Philip would say such a thing. As far as it knew, humans were not so easy to speak to. Humans had always been selfish and would never speak for other races. “I haven’t shown you my strength yet. If you leave now, I’ll consider sparing your life.” After saying that, the clouds of black energy surrounded everyone again. It was afraid of Philip. Philip and his men were a force to be reckoned with. They were definitely no ordinary people. Even if it formed a solid entity, it might not be able to beat Philip. So, it decided to trick Philip into leaving. It could still complete its plan once Philip left. “Since you killed my people, there’s no point for you to stay here. You should leave. I’ll let you go.” It was very calm as if confident that Philip would leave. “But you can only take your people with you. The others are none of your business.” Hearing that, the others stared at Philip nervously. The other races who fought side-by-side with
Although the other races were at odds with Philip, they had a common enemy, so there was no need to trigger a conflict. Although the merfolk were uncertain about Philip’s reaction, they joined the battle too. Although Philip did not indicate that he would help them, Philip was fighting. As long as they won, they would survive. “Keep it up. Don’t let Philip down. Let’s do our best and show Philip what we can do!” the merfolk roared. They knew that it was not easy to show their strength. They had suffered greatly in the previous battle. They were lucky enough to be alive right now. Philip knew that they were injured, but he had no intention of helping them. Although not all the merfolk were bad, their leader was a different story. If that high and mighty chief was willing to approach him and show his servitude, Philip might consider giving him a chance. However, he was still putting on airs, which was simply a joke. As Philip fought, he saw the merfolk fighting too. Although th
The merfolk begging Philip for help did not think Philip had done anything wrong in the previous incident. They knew what happened to their holy maiden was related to Tom. Philip was not at fault at all. Many of them also had some opinions about the merfolk chief, but they had to keep their mouths shut if they wanted to survive.They were really scared this time. The merfolk begged Philip on their knees. Although undignified, it was the only way to survive. Other races stared at the merfolk in surprise, wondering what was going on. Many people knew that the merfolk had suffered a great blow, but they never thought they would become so cowardly. What happened to the merfolk was not a secret. Everyone knew about their holy maiden. However, most of them did not know the details. They thought the merfolk simply encountered some difficulties. Coupled with the appearance of the demons, everyone gradually forgot about it. Seeing the merfolk again, their curiosity was piqued. “W
Aslan and the others scowled at the empty space. There was no exit in this direction. Everyone was worried. There was nowhere to run even if they wanted to. “Philip, we have been surrounded. We can only go through the black energy if we want to leave!” Aslan said anxiously. He did not have to touch it to know how toxic the black energy was. “Don’t touch that thing!” Black Rabbit jumped out in a panic. “I saw some stubborn people going through the black energy and dying of poison!” Philip sighed. They could not afford any more deaths. The statue was clearly triggered by the dead people’s blood. At this rate, they would be in big trouble. Everyone was in the same boat. They could not afford any careless mistakes. “Forget it. We can’t handle them. Do we have any pills that can withstand that black energy or any armor to protect ourselves?” Aslan suggested. Philip waved his hand. “It’s too late.” The black energy was slowly forming a human shape. Everyone followed Phi
Someone was brave enough to touch the black energy. At one touch, he realized the error of his ways because he was devoured by it. He turned into a puff of blood mist with no chance of recovery at all. Some people took out some pills and stuffed them into their mouths, but they lost consciousness before the pills took effect. They turned into puffs of blood mist and vanished into the air, but Philip noticed something. He looked in the direction where the blood mist disappeared. The blood mist was following an invisible route to a black statue. Philip would not have believed that there was a huge and terrifying statue in this place if he had not followed the blood mist. He watched as the wisps of blood merged into the statue, turning it red. The statue looked terrifying. Only the statue’s eyeballs remained black while the rest was an eerie blood red. “We can’t have more people dying.” Philip scowled and told everyone what he had seen. At this rate, he was worried about what
