“Impudence! You don’t even know Norbert Yarrow of the Yarrow family and you dare to hurt his descendants? Kneel and beg for mercy right now!” A middle-aged man behind Norbert glared at Philip and scolded him. “What an arrogant guy! He still dares to remain sitting in front of the second old master of the Yarrow family! He’s courting death!” Another person yelled. Seeing a group of people yelling at Philip, Andrew stood aside coldly! This Philip could just go to hell! Messing with him meant going up against the entire Yarrow family! Philip was dead for sure! However, even when facing the angry reprimands from these people, Philip remained calm. Then, as everyone watched with astonishment, Philip got up and walked to Norbert with a calm smile on his mouth. He said, “Norbert Yarrow, although I don't know you, I can tell you that the Yarrow family is almost done for.” “Impertinent! Norbert roared like a tolling bell and shook the whole private room! His eyes were ic
Young Master Clarke? He was that same Young Master Clarke who caused the commotion at Dragon Gate?! Instantly, Norbert understood! He had run into a brick wall today! The other party was actually that Young Master Clarke! The confrontation with the seven Fusha Majors that happened at Splendor Hotel in the morning was still vivid in Norbert’s mind! It was because of Philip that the six hidden Aces suddenly resurfaced! Such prestige and dominance! The whole national martial arts circle was talking about this matter! All the martial arts families and forces around the world were discussing this very topic! Unexpectedly, the mysterious Young Master Clarke who was the one behind the shocking commotion was actually right in front of him at this moment! Andrew was also stunned! At this moment, his breathing turned rapid as he looked at the nonchalant Philip with deeply knitted brows. Hateful! Of all people, why was he that Young Master Clarke?! Faye and the other
Philip nodded silently without commenting. “By the way, Young Master Clarke, during my absence, I’d like to ask you to take care of Lydia for me,” Jacob said with a slight bow. Philip quickly grabbed Jacob and asked, “How many days do you plan to be away?” Jacob said in a light-hearted manner, “Four to five days, perhaps. For this trip, I don’t intend to return alive. If something happens to me, I hope you can give your full support to the Jensen family.” Philip frowned and said, “Is it such a serious matter?” Jacob said, “Young Master Clarke, you know too little about the national martial arts circle. I’m already old. I just hope I can use what’s left of my life to suppress these national martial arts families and seek a decade of stability for this industry.” “I’ll ask Mobius and the others to go with you,” Philip said urgently. He could see that Jacob was already prepared to die out on the field. “It won’t be necessary.” Jacob shook his head and said, “Aces are not all
Another old man who was about 60 years old carried the aura of an accomplished master, especially with his defined brows and a long beard. He said, “Don't forget what Senior Jensen said to us before he left. We must know our priorities.” Ace Boris Vahn was a learned practitioner in the arts of tarot and astrology. With that, Roxy gritted her teeth in hatred. Philip did not say a word. Along with the other six, he watched as the figure walked far away. It was desolate yet massive. This figure would support the backbone and future of national martial arts! After leaving this place, Philip returned to the hotel. When Martha saw Philip return, she immediately yelled, “Philip, I'm thirsty! Pour me a glass of water.” Philip answered, poured a cup of warm water, and handed it over. After that, he played with Mila for a while. “Philip, I want to eat an apple. Peel one for me." Martha looked at the TV and shouted. Philip quickly got up, sat on the side, and peeled the ap
Beep! The ear-piercing sound of the honking exploded in Martha’s ears! The rolling clouds of dirt also swept across Martha’s face! She watched as the steel-like beast whistled past her eyes! At that moment, Martha's head was blank and she forgot to breathe. When she finally reacted, she yelled hysterically, “Philip, you're committing murder! You're doing this on purpose! I'm your mother-in-law!” Philip pulled the wheelchair back and said indifferently, “Sorry, I was lost in thought.” Lost in thought? Martha would never believe such nonsense! Philip just wanted to get her involved in a traffic accident so that she would die! She got angry and roared, “Philip, you miserable wretch! I'm going to tell Wynn that you actually tried to murder me. You wastrel, you piece of junk—” Suddenly, the second half of her sentence became choked in her throat and she could no longer continue. It was because she had turned back and met Philip's cold gaze. What a terrible look!
“Haha, Juan, this plan is just too good! It's seamless! When the time comes and I get all of that guy's property, I won’t forget your share!” Martha was full of excitement and thrill. Juan smiled and did not say anything, his eyes reflecting ruthlessness. Philip could not blame him for doing this! In the evening, Philip returned with Mila. When she saw that Philip was back, Martha shouted, “Philip, my friends invited me to dinner tonight. Why don’t you accompany me?” Philip frowned slightly and asked suspiciously, “Mom, do you have friends in Uppercreek?” Hmph! Martha snorted coldly. “What do you think? They’re all my old classmates. I’m here this time to attend a class reunion.” Philip nodded but said, “You’re already like this and you still want to go?” Martha scolded with hatred, “How did I end up in this state in the first place? Why are you talking so much? Is it so difficult to ask you to accompany me somewhere? If you don't want to go, forget it. I’ll get som
Martha glared at Philip who was sitting in the corner with his eyes closed and said, “Don’t you think I regret it? I told my daughter many times to divorce this good-for-nothing but she refused to listen to me. Now that she’s pregnant with the second child, it’s even more difficult.” Several people shook their heads and said, “Hey, Martha, it’s not that I want to chastise you, but you need to be decisive with certain things. A useless son-in-law like him is nothing but an embarrassment.” “You’re right, this loser has done his fair share in embarrassing me!” Martha spoke from the heart, and their conversation grew increasingly heated. When the food was served, Martha yelled at Philip in dissatisfaction, “Philip, why are you still sitting there? Come here and serve me! It’s really an embarrassment to have brought along a dummy like you out with me!” At the table, Martha’s old classmates were full of taunting expressions as they watched Philip walk over obediently to serve Marth
Martha growled, yelling, “You’re talking nonsense! How could my son-in-law do such a thing?” “I'm talking nonsense? The evidence is right here. Do you still want to deny this on behalf of your scumbag son-in-law?” The burly man roared furiously. The onlookers also shook their heads and started condemning Philip. “This scum! Martha, your son-in-law is such a brute!” “This person must be arrested! He’s simply the scum of society!” Two middle-aged women walked over, wrapped the girl in the corner with a blanket, and then took her aside to comfort her. “Philip, I told you to wait here. I didn't expect you to do such a brutal thing! How old is she? You actually… You have completely embarrassed and disappointed me!” Martha accused Philip and shouted. That angry expression on her face did not seem faked at all. Philip was being forced on his knees by someone. He struggled desperately and explained, “I didn’t. I was framed. I don’t know anything.” Bam! That brawny man lande
“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
