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
The ward suddenly fell silent! The middle-aged man looked at Philip with astonishment before laughing mockingly. “What did you say? Do you want me to kneel and apologize to her? Friend, I'm afraid you still don't know who I am. Let me introduce myself. I’m a subordinate of Lord Hades from the 12 Sacred Halls of the West!” Philip frowned as his expression chilled. The 12 Sacred Halls, huh? It turned out to be them. Seeing the frown on Philip, the middle-aged man continued coldly and said, “Haven’t you heard of it? Let me give you a detailed introduction to our Lord Hades, then. He rules the seven western cities with seven great envoys under him, each of whom is a successful entrepreneur with abundant wealth! People like you can’t even begin to imagine the wealth and abilities of the seven great envoys! The status and strength of Lord Hades are not something you can figure out! “Just to give you the simplest example, even if Mr. Gates were to meet our Lord Hades, he must be r
At this moment, the middle-aged man was finally flustered. He frowned and looked at Philip who was walking toward him and shouted, “How dare you do this to the people belonging to the lord envoy? You’re looking for death! “Hey, what do you want? Don't come over!” Looking at Philip's cold face, the middle-aged man was so scared that he backed away again and again. He tripped his heel on the sofa and fell onto it. “Apologize to my sister!” Philip said coldly with eyes that looked like he wanted to kill. The middle-aged man was quite stubborn and shouted directly, “Impossible! I'm a member of Envoy Kells under Lord Hades! Except for the envoy and the lord, no one is qualified to make me apologize!” Bam! Philip went straight up and stepped heavily on the middle-aged man's chest! Crack! Broken ribs! The middle-aged man screamed as big beads of sweat rolled off his forehead. “You... Let go! You’ve offended lord envoy! Only death awaits you!” The middle-aged man scream
Doverton, Shore Manor. This manor was the symbol of the entire Doverton. The owner of this manor was the largest family in Doverton and also the top family in national martial arts, the Shore family! The Shore family had resided in Doverton for hundreds of years. Without a doubt, it was a family with the most branch families in Doverton. Moreover, the entire Doverton respected the familial concept. As the largest family in Doverton, the Shore family naturally had deployments and contacts everywhere in Doverton! It was not an exaggeration to say that the Shore family reigned supremacy over the entire Doverton! No matter where they went, the members of the Shore family would garner full attention and respect. Today, the entire Shore Manor was crowded with people! There was a huge arena stage in the square of Shore Manor, and the surrounding stands were already full of people at this moment! In the uppermost central position, the patriarchs and disciples of the four gre
Rabbit hopped around the grandmaster and felt that the latter was not lying. Rabbit had weathered many storms with Philip. He knew that according to human legends, the elves should be noble creatures. They were always arrogant and avoided contact with other creatures. “Anyway, since we’re here, let’s take a look inside. Who knows if any surprises are waiting for us?” Rabbit comforted Philip, and Black Rabbit was startled by his words. “You seem disappointed by this discovery. It doesn’t make sense to me. Are you really not aware of this situation?” Amid Black Rabbit's confusion, everyone entered the territory to watch the fun. Since the guard was enjoying his wonderful life, he did not pay attention to the invaders. He was supposed to be on duty with another guard today, but he swapped the other guard out because he wanted to be on a date with this female elf. The two were having a great romantic time in the room. Philip and his people entered the territory of the elves w
Later, the humans attacked the stone monsters, leaving the stone woman the only remaining survivor. Then, the elves found her. In the end, she was enslaved and became the gatekeeper of the elves. “Don’t blame me for your bad luck if you refuse to believe me. The humans are not to be trifled with. I’m sure you guys are no match for them,” the stone woman said vehemently. She came here with good intentions to report her findings. She wanted to claim the credit, but the other party disregarded her. The stone woman fought Philip earlier and knew exactly how strong he was. Although she was weaker than the elves, she knew that Philip could crush them easily and they would not be able to do anything about it. The elf warrior who received the message did not report the incident but returned to his station happily. He had been flirting with his female companion before they were interrupted. He had finally found a suitable female elf after so many years of being single, so he had no
Black Rabbit squeezed out a flattering smile and nodded excitedly at Philip. “Don’t worry. I’ll lie to anyone but you. I’ve decided to see you as my master and follow you from now on.” Rabbit was disgusted by Black Rabbit’s flattering look. “We’ll arrive soon. Although that woman is a bit scary, she’s nothing compared to you.” Meanwhile, the stone woman arrived at the elves’ location. Since the forest belonged to them, and coupled with the natural characteristics of a stone, she was very fast and arrived at the elves' territory before Philip and the others. The stone woman knelt at the door and stared ahead in a panic. “Are the elves around? Please come out. I need to speak to you,” the stone woman shouted at the door anxiously. An elf walked out unhappily with a weapon in hand. “Why are you making a fuss here? Do you want to die?” The elves were very arrogant and would never allow such an ugly thing to make a fuss at their door. It was not only impolite but also affect
“I know how you managed to survive, but I’m not interested in it. Don’t worry, we’re not one of those people. I won’t do anything to you.” When the stone woman collected the stones, Philip realized that the stones were connected to the woman's body. The stones felt different from ordinary stones because they had been carefully nurtured by the woman, which was quite amazing. “Leave now. Stay no longer. I’m afraid to see humans now.” The stone woman trembled and took several steps back. She entered a cave and refused to show herself again. The stone woman had done no actual harm to them, and she was truly afraid of them. Philip waved his hand and led everyone away without further ado. He was not interested in that ugly woman. Black Rabbit hugged Philip's thigh in fear along the way, feeling extremely nervous. He had thought that Philip and his people were warriors of a certain race, but they turned out to be humans. After joining the humans, he had no way of backing out. He hat
Trapping her opponent with stones was the stone woman’s strongest killing move. Once this method failed, it proved that the opponent was strong—at least not someone she could deal with. At this point, she had no choice but to surrender. However, she had said so many harsh words earlier that she felt too embarrassed to back down now. “Why are you so strong?” Philip and the others did not hide their identities or disguise their appearances with fake ears and tails. The stone woman looked at them in puzzlement. “You don’t have any clear racial distinction, and I don’t sense any racial power in you. Are you humans?” the woman yelled in horror, shocked to see humans roaming freely in the world of the gods. Philip was puzzled, wondering how she came to that conclusion. He thought they looked pretty good. She could hardly determine that they were humans simply because they had no ears or tails. Seeing Philip's confusion, the stone woman knew her guess was right. These people in fr
“Are you looking for the elves? If so, you came to the wrong place. You might've had the chance to see the elves if you had taken a detour at the front, but now that you’re in my territory, you have no chance of getting out alive no matter how strong you are.” Philip nodded at her explanation. “In other words, you’re nothing but a watchdog raised by the elves,” Philip said with a smile. The woman was furious by that remark. “Damn it, go to hell!” The woman waved her hand at the stones on the side, and the stones moved. Everyone watched her actions curiously. “Did you think I managed to live to this day by relying solely on my domain? Hehe, you’re greatly mistaken. I have exactly what it takes to deal with you!” The stones attacked Philip. They were not ordinary stones but humanoid creatures made of stones! They were very tall and seemed determined to crush Philip with sheer size. His exotic fire did not affect them. They were not ordinary stones, and stone was not afraid
The woman was clearly startled by Philip’s remarks. “That’s none of your business!” Before she could say anything else, there was a loud crack, and the domain that the woman was so proud of suddenly shattered. Everyone’s vision was restored to normal, and they saw an ugly woman in front of them. The woman stood in front of them, spitting blood as she glared at Philip with anger and disbelief. “How did you break my domain? That’s impossible! Someone of your level is no match for me!” Philip sneered at the woman’s confidence, “If you had other underhanded tricks, maybe I’d be no match for you, but your level is nothing worth mentioning." Although her domain was powerful for normal people, it was nothing to him. Philip had awakened his own domain ages ago, so he had done some research on this topic. In reality, he did not destroy the other party's domain with his strength but simply shrouded his people in his domain, which he had full control over. After everyone entered h
“No way! Then who held my hand just now? I felt a woman holding my hand. It couldn't be Katie, so who else could it be but you?” Everyone complained, and Philip felt something was wrong. “I didn’t!” Katie quickly clarified. Hearing everyone bickering over it, Philip said, “To be honest, I felt someone holding my hand too. If it’s not one of us, there must be other people in the dark. We need to watch out and don’t let them get their way!” Everyone scowled, surprised by Philip’s remark. At this time, Black Rabbit tentatively grabbed Philip’s pants. “I told you to hurry, but you guys refused to listen. There’s a strange woman who has been living here for a long time! She’s a force to be reckoned with. If possible, we should grope through the dark and leave this place quickly. Don't stay here any longer. It’ll be bad if we lose our lives here!” Black Rabbit said nervously. He had never been here but he had heard the legend of this woman. It was rumored that the woman would c
Black Rabbit had led Rabbit’s brother to join the wraiths. Although he regretted it, he felt proud to have groomed such a loyal subordinate. “Everyone, you need to give it your all. We have no time to lose.” Seeing the sky getting darker, Black Rabbit seemed worried. Everyone felt annoyed by Black Rabbit’s order. “You dare to order us around when your strength has been taken away?” Aslan complained about the arrogant guy. Black Rabbit looked at Philip nervously without a word. He knew that Philip was the final decision-maker. The others were Philip's subordinates. Philip did not notice anything strange. Black Rabbit was up to something. Philip did not think he would give them a warning for no reason. While everyone traveled as fast as they could, the whole forest went dark. Everyone frowned at this sudden change. They were traveling under the scorching sun one second ago, but their vision went dark the next second. Something was clearly wrong. “Philip, I can’t see y
