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
Philip looked cold and stern as he took a deep breath before asking gruffly, “Where is she now?” “Madam Yates is having dinner with someone at Whitebird Restaurant,” Master Bell replied respectfully with a trace of worry in his eyes. “Dinner? With who?” Philip asked again. “It’s your old friend, Juan Parker,” Master Bell replied. When Philip heard this name, he understood everything at once. It turned out Juan was the one who had secretly arranged for Martha to come to Uppercreek just so they could team up and ruin Philip’s reputation? Looking at the sky outside the window, Philip's eyes were full of solemn chills. He turned to Master Bell and said, “Let’s go to Whitebird Restaurant.” Master Bell nodded hurriedly and followed Philip out of the hotel. At the entrance of the hotel, a Rolls-Royce and a fleet of Mercedes-Benz vehicles had been waiting for a long time. Master Bell’s people stood on two sides, and seeing Philip approaching, they all bowed respectfully and g
Juan and Martha looked at each other, both a little flustered. What was Philip going to do? After a few minutes, the atmosphere in the private room was too somber. Juan could not bear it anymore and said coldly, “Philip, what do you want to do?” Philip responded grimly, “Juan, have you forgotten what I said to you last time?” Hearing this, Juan frowned and slammed the table. He got up and shouted, “Philip, why are you still so pretentious? You’re penniless now! You’re nothing but a dog right now! What you need to do is kneel and beg me and Aunt Martha to forgive you!” “Yes, that’s right!” Martha followed suit with an angry expression. “Philip, you good-for-nothing, all your properties belong to me now. If you know what’s good for you, kneel and beg for my mercy! Perhaps I’ll let you off on account that you’re my son-in-law!” Martha was full of confidence. Philip was completely deprived of all his wealth now, so why should she still be afraid of him? However... Unexp
After consideration, Philip called Josh Clancy and the others. Soon, they met at the hotel lobby. Josh and the group looked serious. He asked, “What’s the situation? The former supreme wants to see you?” “I don't think we should go. There are only eight of us. It's still unclear how many of them are stationed in Uppercreek. If we act rashly, the risk is too great.” “Bah, he’s just an old codger. If the teacher were here, he wouldn’t be so arrogant!” Several people babbled incessantly, all of them not in favor of Philip taking the risk. Philip thought for a while and asked Josh, “How confident are you?” Josh’s face was very serious and his brows furrowed as he said, “If you insist on going, we’ll accompany you and act according to the situation. I don’t think they’ll move recklessly. After all, the Dragon Warriors are not a force to be trifled with.” Philip nodded, looked at the eight of them, and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you all to go with me.” The eight peopl
The old man shook his head and continued, “There’s no need for you to be angry, Young Master Clarke. I’m just here to talk to you about a deal. I can help you with the branch family. Of course, when you succeed the Clarke family in due course, I need the Clarke family to do me a favor.” “What kind of favor?” Philip asked. The old man said, “Now is not the time yet. I just need you to agree, Young Master Clarke.” There was silence. Philip got up and said in a cold voice, “No, thanks. There’s nothing to discuss between us.” After saying that, he turned around to leave. However, the old man behind him spoke, “I’ll be waiting for you, Young Master Clarke. I hope you’ll think about it.” Hearing that, Philip did not dither around but took Josh and the others to leave Tidal Pavilion immediately. Inside the hotel suite, the atmosphere was subdued. Josh stood at the window where he looked at the scene of the streets outside. He asked, “Philip, what do you plan to do?” Philip
Philip listened silently as he formed a judgment in his heart. Now was not the time to deal with this old guy yet. However, his mother's accident had something to do with him. He had to make a trip. “Teacher, if I’m about to deal with him, will you help me?” Philip asked. After a moment of silence, Reed said, “I won’t step in, but you’re free to utilize the Dragon Warriors.” After all, this involved the former supreme, and very often, Reed could not be involved. He could only help Philip pacify the threats from the rear as much as possible. With these words from Reed, Philip felt some reassurance. He smiled and said, “Thank you, teacher.” Haha! A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone. Reed said, “You rascal. You’re getting more and more powerful now. Even the former supreme is now your target.” Philip chuckled and chatted with Reed for a few minutes before he hung up the phone. On the other side, Reed's face gradually became very grave after he hung up
The next day, Philip brought Mila to the hospital to visit Hannah. However, before he entered the door, he saw a lot of people gathered at the entrance of Hannah's ward. They were pointing and talking. “Gosh, these ruffians are treating that young lady so harshly!” “Yes, that little girl is so pitiful. Why is no one from her family here yet?” Philip had just walked in. When he heard these comments, he panicked. He pushed aside the crowd and saw four or five people in the ward. Among them, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes was sitting on the sofa with one leg propped over the other. He had a broad back and a slightly chubby figure. He was smoking a cigar while looking at Hannah whose head was buried in the pillow on the hospital bed. The other four bodyguards in black suits stood beside her with a solemn expression! “Hannah Clarke, what’s wrong? Don’t you recognize me anymore after returning to the country? When will you pay back the money you owe us?” The mi
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
The hooded man was very interested in Rabbit and wanted to make contact with him to find out more about him. He quickly found Philip’s house and was surprised to find that it was surrounded by a barrier that blocked all his perceptions, which made him conflicted. It was not a place he could enter at will. He felt some energy fluctuations from formations too. If he was not mistaken, entering this place would be dangerous for him. After much deliberation, he turned around and left without staying any longer. His visit here was enough to verify his guess. Since Philip could come up with such a powerful formation and barrier, he was certainly a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, Philip was not someone he could deal with so easily. As for Rabbit, the hooded man was not bothered by him at all. He just wanted to know how Philip subdued such a powerful pet. The hooded man had dealt with many monster beasts in the past but failed to subdue any. He had even suffered badly un
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
