She was being unreasonable. Philip was nonetheless her son-in-law and had greeted her with sincerity. Martha tossed all of Philip's presents by the doorway and shouted angrily at him, "If you're still a man, Philip Clarke, then don't take another step into my house. I, Martha Yates, have nothing to do with you. The Johnston family doesn't welcome good-for-nothings like you in the household." Martha was currently fretting over what happened to Aiden. She was not happy when she saw that loser Philip Clarke at her door. 'Does he think he deserves to step into my house just because he brought a few presents? 'In his dreams!' Wynn was frustrated when she saw her mother being unreasonable. "What are you doing, Mom? Philip is here to talk to you," she said grumpily. Wynn turned around to pick the items, then brought Philip and sat down inside. Martha thought that it would be inappropriate to reprimand her daughter. She stopped driving Philip out of the house but did not show him
Wynn turned around, looked at Philip, and asked, “Did you do it?” Philip shook his head immediately and replied calmly, “How could it have been me? How am I capable of doing such a thing? You’re thinking too much.” He had almost let the cat out of the bag! Fortunately, Aiden had taken it from the back door the other day. Wynn frowned. She did not think Philip was capable of doing such a thing as well. However, at this time, Martha overheard the absurd conversation that was going on between them. She raised her eyebrows, stared at Philip, and asked, “What? This matter has something to do with you?” Wynn knew if Martha found out about what happened at the hotel the other day, she would most definitely find fault with Philip. Perhaps she might even get them to go through a divorce once again. “Mom, don’t be angry at Philip. This matter has nothing to do with him, “Wynn said. “It’s best if he has nothing to do with it. Otherwise, I’ll be the first to chase him out of the ho
Martha was dumbstruck! Her breath got stuck in her throat! One… hundred billion?! With a loud thud, Martha fell backward and landed on the ground. Her whole body had begun trembling uncontrollably. Very soon, several people gathered around her as they looked and pointed. “Oh, is she having a seizure?” “Call the emergency number quickly!” “Hurry up and call for someone. This looks serious!” Not long after, the employees of the bank rushed over and helped lift Martha onto a seat by the side. They then performed acupressure on her and gave her some water. Nevertheless, Martha struggled to wake up as her hands trembled. Her eyes were dull when she mumbled, “Hundred… billion.” The onlookers were baffled and had no idea what the old woman was mumbling about. Was she delusional? By this time, Philip and Wynn had rushed over to the scene. They had received a call from one of the bank staff who informed them of Martha’s location. “Mom, how do you feel? Are you alrigh
At this time, Wynn came over to help Martha was still trembling to walk. Together, they made their way to the resting area in the corner of the room and took a seat. Philip frowned, took out the card, and passed it over the counter. He said calmly, “Please ask your manager to come out.” The young lady at the counter was taken aback before she sneered. “Sir, do you really think there’s a hundred billion in that card?” What a joke. After the old lady was a young man. Was the whole family full of lunatics? However, Philip smiled faintly, “Then, I’ll withdraw the money.” The young lady looked at him in disdain as she mumbled under her breath, “So poor, yet he still wants to withdraw money. He really thinks he has a hundred billion!” The young lady accessed the bank’s system as she complained. She instructed in an unfriendly manner, “Key in your password.” Philip obliged. The young lady continued to operate the system. However, when she saw the balance of the card, she s
Patrick stood up abruptly from his chair. His eyes were wide open and his breathing was rapid. Who could have a bank balance of one hundred billion? Not to mention, that person had shown up at his small little branch! If he could get even a hundred million worth of financial investment, he would no longer have to work throughout the year! Moreover, there was a chance he would get promoted to become a branch president the following year! In the case that this big customer pumped in money into his branch, his performance for the year would skyrocket! It just so happened that a few days ago, during a meeting at the head office, his branch had been specifically criticized for poor performance in terms of customer deposits. They were in last place compared to all the other branches! Patrick had been very troubled by the matter. If it continued, he would be fired as the branch manager! Without thinking twice, Patrick trotted out. “Quick, take me to him!” When he arrived i
Philip hurried to explain, “Wynnie, you’re overthinking it. Maybe there’s something wrong with the card. I’ll be back soon.” Patrick was a smart man and caught on immediately. He said, “Madam, please don’t worry about it. We’ll be back soon. I won’t take up too much of Mr. Clarke’s time.” When Wynn heard his response, she could not say anything else. Hence, she nodded. Philip followed Patrick to the VIP room and took a seat on the cozy sofa while Patrick made him tea. Patrick was still astonished by Philip’s young age. He was a big customer with a balance of a hundred billion after all! The richest man in the country had a net worth of only slightly more than a hundred billion. However, that included the assets of the man’s company. As for Philip, he had a hundred billion in personal savings! It was simply too inconceivable! ‘For him to be so wealthy, he has to be the offspring of a hidden family.’ “Mr. Clarke is so young and talented. I wasn’t expecting you to be so
Such a man was simply the prince charming of every woman! His wife was too blissful and fortunate. The bank teller on duty felt envious as jealousy began to well up in her. “Hurry up with the process. I have to go grocery shopping with my wife,” Philip said calmly. Patrick was taken aback. Nevertheless, his face had a bright smile on it as he instructed Yolanda to process the transaction on the spot. Philip only needed to provide them his ID card to authorize the transaction. That was the so-called VIP treatment! One billion in deposits! It was an accomplishment that Patrick never imagined he would achieve in his lifetime! With such an achievement, the following year’s branch presidency would definitely be his! “Mr. Clarke, your wife is very fortunate indeed to have a husband like you,” Patrick complimented. Philip merely responded with a faint smile. After everything was done, he left. When Patrick returned to the main lobby, he explained to Martha, “Auntie, I’m
At this time, Juan was in the private room. He held the phone in his hand with a cold expression on his face and said, “Make sure nothing goes wrong. Otherwise, you won’t get a single cent!” Juan had prepared for this very night for a long time. He would not allow anything to go wrong. He had to take Wynn away and get rid of Philip tonight! “Mr. Parker, don’t worry. With me, Al Hopper, everything will go smoothly.” Lewd laughter was soon heard from the phone. Juan frowned and said coldly, “Just do your part and don’t bother about anything else.” He did not like Al’s tone. The guy was famous for being a pervert, but Juan had to use him because of how reliable he was. At this moment, the door to the private room was pushed open. Soon after, Philip and Wynn entered. Juan quickly hung up the phone, stood up, and greeted them cheerfully, “Wynn, you’re here.” When Juan saw Philip, the smile on his face froze. He said icily to Philip, “Philip, just take a seat anywhere.
With food and drinks and people willing to serve him unconditionally, Tom led a good life. Tom had always been the servant, not the other way around. He was quickly lost in this pleasure. While Tom was basking in happiness, a group of merfolk arrived quietly. They sneaked up to the shore and came to this small fishing village. “If I'm not mistaken, Tom should be inside. Let's go and catch him!” Everyone rushed forward with their teeth and claws bared. Although they did not know Tom’s exact location, it was no big deal. They just had to kill everyone and Tom would appear eventually. The merfolk quickly rushed into the houses and killed all the sleeping fishermen. Tom jolted awake when he sensed that disgusting presence. Tom saw the little girl lying on the side. She fell asleep while taking care of him. “Little girl, wake up!” Tom urged the little girl and pushed her awake. The little girl rubbed her eyes sleepily and looked at Tom curiously. “Mighty God, do you
“That’s my lady’s call. I heard my lady’s call!” Tom looked around in a panic, trying to find the source of the voice. However, he could not hear the sound clearly. Due to his injuries, he could not contact his lady through normal means. Although he could sense the lady's signal, it was a fool’s errand to find her. “Do you have anything that can help me restore energy? Such as energy stones or something similar. Hurry up and find some for me. After I recover, I won’t forget your reward!” Tom said condescendingly. He could only rely on empty promises to quickly restore his strength. The fishermen went through their belongings to help the god. The little girl who took care of Tom timidly took out some energy stones from the cabinet. It was her dowry prepared by the family. Fishermen were not rich so they had to prepare dowry in advance. These energy stones were the only savings in the little girl's family. “Mighty God, see if this thing can help you. Feel free to us
“Why am I here? Where is my lady?” Although his superficial injuries had recovered, his various internal injuries would take some time. However, he could deal with these unarmed ordinary fishermen easily with his strength. At this time, a delicate little girl walked in with some food and was very excited to see him awake. “Mom, Dad, the person we rescued is awake. Come and see him!” The little girl put down the tray excitedly and ran out, telling everyone the good news. Hearing that, everyone rushed over excitedly to see the mysterious man. The man was very burly, with muscles and glittering scales all over his body. The fishermen had never seen such a person so they worshiped him as a god. “Young man, are you a god? Only gods have a body like yours!” “Why did you pass out outside? It’s not safe out there. You have to be careful!” Everyone expressed concern over his well-being and handed him some clothes that they made in a hurry for him. Tom frowned unhappily a
Seeing Rabbit’s confidence, however, Philip said nothing. Meanwhile, Marina was resting in the room. Since she had reached an agreement with Philip, Marina recuperated in the room without finding fault with others. Philip knew that Marina was seriously injured but he would not help her without anything in return. After all, he did not form a soul contract with Marina, and she was a force to be reckoned with. Who knew if she would do something to him once she recovered? At this moment, Marina was planning her next move in the room. “That guy named Philip is more than meets the eye. I can't take any advantage of him.” Marina frowned unhappily as she pondered. As a mermaid princess, Marina had always enjoyed noble treatment, and no one dared to do anything to her. However, Philip was quite interesting. Not only could he read her thoughts but also control her emotions, which was terrifying. So, although Marina was curious about Philip, she was more wary of him. “It’d be
“I haven't forgotten my promise. Once we reach the world of the gods, I’ll fulfill my promise to you and make you a queen in no time.” The old man smiled and stroked his beard, which looked quite obnoxious because he had very little beard left. “You can take my word for it. You’ll have a bright future as long as you follow Upper God Quinn!” The other party painted a pretty picture for Sienna as if he had a good grasp of her thoughts. At this time, Mason walked out of the room to ask Sienna about the pills. Unexpectedly, he overheard this conversation. He was surprised and could not believe his ears. “My queen, is this old man an almighty god from another world?” Mason did not hide his presence because he knew Sienna would discover him. In that case, it was better to step forward and maybe Sienna would involve him in her secrets. Sienna was so immersed in her own world that she did not notice Mason's arrival. Sienna was startled by Mason’s sudden interruption. “W
When Sienna was still a young and innocent girl back then, she was very excited to share an amazing pill she found with her husband, but he tricked her and stole it from her. When Sienna realized that her husband had eaten the pill, she sealed the pill’s medicinal properties with powerful means so it was useless even though he had taken the pill. Therefore, when Sienna saw the snake’s body earlier, she knew that the pill’s medicinal properties were still intact without being consumed yet. It was a blessing in disguise, and her hard work paid off. “Hehe, Philip actually thought I was a devoted lover. He has no idea how important this corpse is to me. Speaking of which, I have to thank that fool.” Sienna’s initial plan was to recover her strength with the Binary Herb, but getting this corpse produced the same effect, so Sienna was very excited. Sienna laughed wildly as she felt her strength recovering rapidly. Mason huddled in the corner quietly for fear that Sienna would e
Seeing the snake carcass, Sienna was dumbfounded. She could not believe that she would see her husband's corpse here. “What's going on? How did things turn out this way?” Sienna was very agitated and grabbed Philip in disbelief. “Where did you see him? Why was he cut in half? What's going on? Tell me!” Philip was surprised by Sienna’s emotional outburst. “I thought you were looking for the Binary Herb to save your husband,” Philip said with a smile. He did not sympathize with Sienna. Both snakes were up to no good. Even if they had a good relationship, they lived in vain. “I knew that someone locked him up but I didn’t know it was in that mysterious sea. I’d have saved him in person if I’d known about it!” Sienna said mournfully. Philip looked at Sienna doubtfully. He felt that her behavior was not normal. She must be up to no good. “So, what do you want to do now? Aren't you here to find the Binary Herb?” Aslan suddenly appeared and scoffed. He did not have a good im
Yule knew he was not worthy to get involved in this matter but he wanted a share of the pie. He was uncomfortable with this uneasiness. “You need to improve your strength and stop being so cowardly. Although I don't know what it takes to enter that world, your current level is obviously not going to cut it. Improving yourself is a means of protecting yourself.” Philip did not put it so explicitly because he had a good impression of Yule. If Yule could improve himself, Philip did not mind taking him along. Lyle and the others had no worries. As Philip's subordinates, they had the right to follow him. Philip was surprised by this unexpected gain and could not wait to deal with the snake monster now. Since Sienna tried every means to find the Binary Herb, she must have a way to recover her strength. Otherwise, she could not use the herb even if she got it. At this time, Mason returned in a miserable state. He never dreamed that Philip could defeat him so easily. Philip was
“By the way, my name is Marina. You can call me Her Highness Princess Mermaid.” Philip did not take the mermaid’s introduction seriously. He was not a lapdog and would not call her by her title. Calling her by name was good enough for her. “If I help you open the portal to the world of the gods, what can I get out of it? As a businessman, I value profit very much. I don't mind helping you if I can profit from it,” Philip said with a smile. Philip knew that he picked up the key to the world of the gods earlier. In that case, he had to take this negotiation seriously and get as much as he could from Marina. Marina's eyes widened upon hearing this, surprised that Philip found the key to the world of the gods. “Did you find the key after going to the lifeless sea?” Marina's hands trembled with excitement. Philip nodded calmly and took out a blue stone from his pocket to prove his words. Nothing was better proof than the stone. Marina was ecstatic. “That’s great. Since you f
