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.
Upon hearing the unpleasant words of the crowd, Philip’s face darkened along with his frown. Al was extremely annoyed with Philip’s indifferent and innocent look. Hence, he kicked him again, pointed at his nose, and said viciously, “D*mn brat, couldn’t you have found another woman? There are so many women in the red light district, but you touched mine instead. Are you trying to court death!” Philip’s eyes were full of daggers. He glared at the sobbing woman next to Al and said coldly, “Tell them that you’re the one who broke into the room!” Tears were running down the woman’s face as she cried miserably. She pointed at Philip and retorted, “Big Al, he’s spouting nonsense. He couldn’t stop staring at my legs just now and said... he said my *ss is perky and would love to get on with me. When I was in the bathroom, I wasn’t expecting him to pounce on me and grab me from behind. He then dragged me into this room. I… I was nearly…” “You’re still trying to put on an act?” Al fumed a
In the villa, Theo was having a discussion with a few of his henchmen. When Nino Gil was uprooted previously, Theo had been unable to swallow such a big piece of cake at one go. Hence, he had to discuss the matter with his brothers. After all, there were too many venues to handle, and they were related to too many interests and connections in the background. At this moment, when Theo saw the panicked Tiger rushing in, he raised an eyebrow and asked, “Why are you so flustered?” “Theo, Mr. Clarke has been arrested.” Tiger was sweating profusely as he spoke, “I just came back and overheard that Mr. Clarke was arrested at Concord Hotel.” Theo stood up abruptly, his face full of anger. “What? How could he have been arrested?” “It seems that he molested a woman and was caught red-handed. However, according to our men, that woman belonged to Al Hopper, a small-time gangster,” Tiger explained. “Al Hopper?” Theo looked puzzled but said domineeringly, “I’ve not even heard of him an
Philip did not intend to kill Tom. On the contrary, he wanted Tom to live well so that he could suffer in pain all the time. Philip smacked Tom's body several times. Tom felt something was wrong the moment it happened. He looked distorted as if he was controlled by someone. His body was also twisting in weird angles. “I’ve destroyed your practice. You can never regain your power even if the demons help you. What do you think of this reward?” Philip sneered at Tom’s twisted posture. Philip severed all of Tom’s veins and imprisoned him in the swamp so that he could suffer the erosion of the swamp day and night. He wanted Tom to watch over Marina's remains forever. “I don’t have any grudge against the merfolk. I promised to help you back then, but you were stupid enough to believe the words of a treacherous villain to the point of killing your holy maiden. This is really sad and ridiculous.” The merfolk had suffered a tragic end, which was pitiful, so Philip did not want to dwel
“Chief, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and finish the ritual. Don’t let that guy get his way. We have to get back at him for his disrespect.” After saying this, Tom charged at Marina. He knew that he needed Marina’s blood to have a fresh start. At this time, Moray took out the merfolk's pearl. They hid the pearl very well and finally found it in the warehouse. Marina smiled in despair at the sight of the pearl. She obviously did not expect things to go so out of control. “Philip, I’m sorry to have wronged you earlier. It seems that you’re the only good person around. Everyone else has an ulterior motive and is always thinking about using me. In that case, I’ll do the last thing I can do to seek your forgiveness.” After saying this, Marina rushed to the pearl in Moray’s hand with sorrow in her eyes. Philip had a bad premonition and had a guess about what Marina was about to do. “Stop her!” Philip waved his hand, and everyone rushed over. Some people pinned Moray down
Although Tom had been tortured beyond recognition, he was still rational and yelled out his plan. Moray was hesitant. He knew what Tom was referring to. The merfolk had a powerful secret technique to create an immortal body by merging the blood of the holy maiden with a powerful warrior of the family. Tom was in such a bad condition that he would be dead if they did not save him now. However, once Marina and Tom’s blood were merged, it meant that they would have to be together and never be separated again. Marina shook her head in rejection. Not to mention the damage it would cause her, but she did not want to share the rest of her life with Tom. No one could live an eternal life with someone they did not love. However, Moray had gone crazy. He was bewitched by Tom and only had victory in his eyes. Although Tom was in a bad state, Moray believed that Tom could turn the tables with a little help. With that thought in mind, Moray grabbed Marina and pushed her to Tom reluctant
“Very well. I approve of this marriage. After you defeat Philip and return in victory, we’ll proceed with your wedding.” Hearing that, Tom sneered inwardly. He was an ambitious man. He was unwilling to let Moray control him. He planned to get the merfolk's treasure now. As long as he got the pearls from the merfolk and fish creatures, he could dominate the world with the treasures that could store energy, and everyone would have to bow down to him. He could force Marina to provide her blood and activate the pearl.When Marina was in despair, the mud that trapped Philip suddenly moved. Everyone was astounded by this scene. No one thought that Philip could survive. He was very strong, indeed. Before Tom could attack again, the swamp exploded. Tom was shocked. He had a bad feeling that everything would progress differently. Thinking of this, he kept attacking Philip with every means he had. However, it was futile. Philip easily broke through Tom’s defense and attacked him.
Now that they had started fighting, it seemed that things would not end well. Moby had no idea whether he should root for Philip or not. “Philip, don’t give up!” After much deliberation, Moby finally decided to cheer for Philip. He stood a better chance to survive once Philip won. He would pay with his life if anything happened to Philip. Besides, he had just decided to join Philip when Philip generously rewarded him with some precious elf water, which proved that this was a boss worth following. He might get more benefits by sticking with Philip, so he did not want anything to happen to Philip. Meanwhile, Philip was stuck in the swamp. He was just about to break free from the swamp when he felt something strange. The swamp did not hurt him but strengthened his body instead, making his skin unusual. Philip already had a divine body, and combined with all the powerful pills and various herbs he had consumed before, his body was far beyond anyone’s imagination. It turned out
“You want the merfolk's pearl, but the fish creatures haven't given it to me yet. I don’t have it right now. Even if you defeat me, what’s the point? The fish creatures can run with it while you’re distracted. It’ll be a waste of time for you to fight me,” Philip said. He was really worried about Tom’s IQ. He could understand if he attacked Moby instead. “The thing is in Moby’s hand, but you want to attack me instead of dealing with him. Is it because you can't get the woman of your dreams?” Philip had a sharp tongue, and Tom trembled at his words. Philip dared to humiliate him like this. However, Philip had a point. He should deal with Moby instead. He was just annoyed that his beloved Marina liked Philip. Tom was infuriated by Philip’s words and attacked him. He had to kill Philip at all costs and show Marina the scene of Philip's defeat. The two were quickly engaged in a fight, and Tom moved fluidly in this disgusting swamp. Philip maintained a superior position and foug
“This is an agreement between me and Chief Moray. It’s not up to you.” After saying this, Tom took out a sharp dagger from his pocket. Philip thought Tom was going to attack him, but Tom used the dagger to cut himself instead, leaving everyone wondering what he was doing. After injuring himself, he took out a bottle of potion and poured it on the wound, which healed in a few seconds. Philip was surprised by the rapid recovery. The potion had to be a treasure. At this time, everyone realized that Tom's strength was increasing rapidly to the point of being daunting. Aslan stepped back cautiously, surprised by this unexpected turn. He had always been a fearless person, but he felt a sense of oppression from this weak person. It proved that the potion was powerful enough to pose a threat to him. Thinking of this, Aslan scowled and reached out for Philip, hoping that Philip could take care of it. After all, he and Lyle were equally strong. If he could not deal with Tom, Lyle
“Tom, if you can take care of this matter, I’ll give you Marina’s hand in marriage. I’m sure the two of you can work together to lead the merfolk to glory.” Everyone was shocked, including Tom, who was in disbelief. No one expected that Moray would ask Tom to marry Marina. Even the fish creatures were shocked. Although they were enemies, they knew that Marina was the merfolk's holy maiden. Tom had been protecting the holy maiden over the years, so he was a servant without a doubt. It was ironic to hear that a servant was worthy enough to marry the holy maiden. Marina was shocked and subconsciously glanced at Philip, who was indifferent about it. After all, it was the merfolk's affairs, nothing to do with him. Philip would not bother even if Marina had to marry an old man. “However, you must prove your ability before you can marry my daughter. If you get the item, I’ll hand her to you.” Moray had been seriously injured before this and could no longer fight normally. The merf
Philip took out a small bottle of elf water from his pocket and handed it to Moby. He wanted to see what the ugly creature would look like after taking the precious elf water. Moby was shocked to see Philip handing him some elf water and felt unworthy of it. At Philip’s insistence, he walked over and respectfully took the small bottle of elf water from Philip. He took a sip cautiously and wanted to marvel at its wonderful taste. Philip felt exasperated at Moby’s caution. Moby probably had no idea how Lyle and the others treated the water. They not only used it to bathe but also drank it casually like normal drinking water. Marina and the others watched with envy. They knew how precious the elf water was, so they were shocked by Philip’s generosity in giving it to the humble fish creatures. Even the merfolk found it difficult to get some elf water, but these lowly creatures got it. No one would be happy at this scene. Philip glanced at everyone. The other fish creatures st
