Levi nodded, carrying an air of invisible superiority around him as he said lightly, “Very well, you’ve done a very good job. We’ll stick to the terms we agreed on and not any less.” “Thank you, Young Master Clarke. I'm honored to serve you. At Young Master Clarke’s request, I’m willing to do anything!” Vincent was so excited that he bowed, full of respect. Young Master Clarke had promised him the position of general manager in a listed company with an annual salary of ten million and an additional 100 million in compensation! The offer was simply too generous! Even if he worked his *ss off in Beacon for the next decade, he would not get this much! Levi got up and handed Vincent a glass of red wine with a warm smile at the corner of his mouth. He patted his shoulder and said, “Come on, cheers.” Vincent was flattered to accept the wine glass Levi was handing to him. With a tilt of his neck, he emptied the contents. After getting such recognition from Levi, Vincent would
“Madam Johnston, the Burton family is one of the major families in Doverton. If the Burton family can’t get certain things in Doverton, outsiders won’t be able to get them either. As a representative of the cooperation this time, the Burton family also made some very excessive demands. If we just go over like this, I’m afraid it won’t work.” Vincent said while looking in the rear-view mirror as Wynn’s expression changed. Wynn raised her eyebrows, frowned, and said, “What are Ryan Burton’s interests?” Mindy quickly replied, “He loves to play golf and once invited several female celebrities to accompany him to play on the golf course for a week. Moreover, there were rumors that he had affairs with several of them. It was quite scandalous.” Hearing this, Wynn’s frown deepened. It would not be easy to play to such a person’s interest. “What about the others?” Wynn asked again. Mindy shook her head and said, “So far, this is all the information we have. Ryan Burton seems to only
Ryan grasped Wynn’s little hand and did not let go for a long time. Wynn pulled her hand away with a smile and said, “You must be joking, Mr. Burton. Why don’t we go in for a chat?” Ryan did not respond to that and asked instead, “Madam Johnston, do you know how to play golf? I prefer to talk about business while playing golf.” Wynn shook her head and said apologetically, “I’m just a regular person without an appreciation for golf, Mr. Burton. I don’t know how to play this.” “That’s okay. I’ll teach you.” Ryan smiled and nodded to the caddie beside him. The caddie immediately took out a golf club and handed it to Wynn. Wynn could not refuse. She took the club, smiled kindly, and said, “I’m grateful to have you teach me, then.” After saying that, the two of them walked forward with the caddie following behind them. “Madam Johnston, your posture when holding the golf club is wrong.” Ryan stood next to Wynn and said. Following that, he walked directly behind Wynn and p
Ryan shouted with a grim face! Following that, several security guards held Wynn who kept struggling. She shouted, “Mr. Burton, this is not in line with the rules! I represent Beacon Group! “Vincent, save me!” Wynn turned her head with a crying tone and looked at Vincent who stood at the side. Vincent pretended to rush forward and shouted, “Mr. Burton, our Madam Johnston is pregnant. You can’t do this!” Ryan went over with a kick and shouted, “Who the hell are you? How dare you talk to me this way?” It was not until Wynn was taken away that Vincent got up from the ground and patted the dust off his body. The expression on his face changed as he respectfully said, “Mr. Burton, sorry to trouble you.” Ryan sighed. The evil desire and harshness in his eyes from just now had turned into anger. He shouted, “What you’re doing is simply atrocious! I’ve become the bad guy now!” Vincent chuckled evilly and said, “Are you trying to defy Young Master Clarke’s orders, Mr. Burton?”
Soon, the entrance of Tundra Villa was packed with black Mercedes-Benz vehicles! Dozens of thugs stood respectfully beside the car doors. As Philip walked out, several Aces and Fulton approached him. Looking at this situation, they asked, “Young Master Clarke, what’s going on?” “Wynn has been detained by the Burton family!” Philip said coldly as an angry flame throbbed in his eyes. Hearing that, the six Aces and Fulton all looked angry. Especially Fulton, his face was full of chills! The child in Wynn’s stomach was the key to the door! Absolutely nothing must happen to them! The lord had repeated this many times! “Young Master, I’ll go with you,” Fulton said. “Get in the car.” Philip did not hesitate. Soon, the convoy left Tundra Villa. Master Bell and the six Aces stayed behind as the villa could not be without people. In the main hall of the Burton family’s manor at this time, Wynn was pressed on the sofa by two security guards while Ryan sat right in front
“Levi Clarke.” Levi smiled and directly sat on the sofa. Ryan had already gotten up and was standing respectfully on the side. Wynn looked surprised and turned to Levi who was sitting on the sofa. Yes, he was Philip’s cousin. What was he doing here? Wait a minute! The person targeting her was him? Wynn was a little baffled and looked at Levi incredulously. Levi’s face was calm as he looked at the woman in front of him. She had a gorgeous figure, much better than those women on Arcadia Island. She even exuded a different kind of charm. This cousin of his had really good taste in women. Oh, her stomach. “Sister-in-law, is the child in your stomach a boy or a girl?” Levi suddenly asked, his eyes fixed on Wynn’s stomach. Hearing that, Wynn immediately took a few steps back and covered her stomach with both hands. She asked with some fear, “You… What do you want?” Levi chuckled. “Sister-in-law, why are you so nervous? It's not like I'm going to do anything to y
An imposing rebuke sounded at the front door! The crowd looked for the sound and saw a figure striding in, full of anger and killing aura! Bam! Before Levi Clarke understood what was going on, he received a solid kick on his shoulder. He flew out several meters upside down, hitting the coffee table heavily. The glass surface of the table immediately shattered into pieces! Philip glanced at Wynn who was sitting on the ground, his eyes red. He quickly walked over, helped Wynn up, and asked with gentle concern, “Wynnie, are you alright?” Wynn shook her head with tears in her eyes and whimpered, “I’m fine. It’s great to see you.” Wynn threw herself in Philip's arms and hugged him tightly. He patted her soft back, pulled her behind him, and said affectionately, “I’ll take care of everything.” His cold eyes stared at Levi, who was being pulled up from the ground by the guards, with anger in his eyes! This damned Levi! How dare he make a move against Wynn?! He was courting
He could not believe that Philip was so arrogant. Behind Levi was the entire branch of the Clarke family, while Philip only held the title as heir of the main Clarke family. He probably did not even know the internal situation of the Clarke family now, right? How dare he put on airs in front of him? What right did he have? In Levi’s eyes, Philip was nothing but a loser who held the title as an heir! “Philip, I have to admit that you’ve changed a lot. You’re no longer the kid who could be deceived by me back then. However, don’t forget that you’ve not returned to Arcadia Island yet. You haven’t convinced the people on the island. In my eyes, you’re still a kid who can never amount to anything. I own the entire branch of the Clarke family, while you, what do you have? What do you have to fight with me? Levi shouted angrily, his eyes full of contempt and provocation! As soon as he spoke, the guards behind him stood up and stared at Philip with cold faces. “If we talk abo
“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
