Wynn had an appearance that could launch a thousand ships. Combined with her tearful look now, it added a touch of radiance to her already beautiful face! Her loveliness was unparalleled! Meanwhile, Philip… Those people could feel resentment welling in their hearts! This was a prime example of beauty and the beast. The men were gnashing their teeth, but the result was an even more hateful scene. Not far away, a Mercedes-Benz quickly approached. After stopping, a beautiful woman stepped down. Bernice Owen! When Bernice heard from Hoyt that Philip almost got into an accident, she was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She hurried to the scene! It was useless for Hoyt to tell her that the matter had been resolved. She had to see with her own eyes that Philip was okay! “Young Master, are you alright?” Bernice asked with red eyes as she quickly ran over, almost breaking her high heels. The people around were dumbfounded. Compared to Wynn, Bernice’s features were no
Philip quickly pushed Bernice away. To prevent Bernice from talking nonsense again, Philip glared at her before explaining to Wynn, “Wynnie, this is Bernice Owen, my ex-boss from the last company. She recently moved to Uppercreek.” Bernice was taken aback. Did Young Master Clarke say that she was his boss? When did the two of them switch roles? Then, Philip introduced her to Bernice, “Bernice, this is Wynn Johnston, my wife.” Only then did Bernice realize that this was Mrs. Clarke. She had really made a fool of herself just now. Thus, she quickly said with a smile, “Oh, so you’re Miss Wynn Johnston. I’ve heard a lot about you. It’s nice to finally meet you!” While saying that, she extended her hand to Wynn, wanting to shake hands to express her goodwill. However, Wynn did not take Bernice’s hand, so Bernice had to withdraw it awkwardly. Wynn looked at Philip in exasperation and said, “Do you think I'm stupid? I just heard her address you as some young master! So, what e
Thinking of this, Philip slapped his mouth. He already had Wynn. How could he think of other women?! Philip sighed. Anyway, now that he could not go back, he had to find a place to have fun and calm himself down. Moreover, he had experienced too many events lately and really should relax. At this time, Victor called Philip, saying that he had some friends who wanted to meet him. They could also play cards and have some drinks. Philip agreed immediately. Since he did not know what to do anyway, now that someone wanted to play cards with him, he could not ask for more! Philip was also familiar with the venue. It was Victor’s underground entertainment club. It did not take long for Philip to arrive. As soon as he heard that Philip had arrived, Victor and his friends greeted him at the door. After welcoming Philip, Victor quickly dragged Philip into his underground casino. Seeing Victor’s flustered look, Philip asked, “Hey, what’s wrong with you?” Victor smiled and said,
However, Philip was close to pissing his pants, so he hurried to the washroom without taking a closer look. When he came out, the door of the private room was already closed. Philip returned to the VIP room. Victor and his friends had long been waiting impatiently. When Philip arrived, they quickly dealt the cards and started playing. After a few rounds, Philip was lucky and won some money. In the beginning, the 100,000 dollars worth of chips in front of Philip had been given by Victor. After a while, the chips in front of Philip began to gradually increase. Later, Philip returned Victor’s chips to the bar, leaving 230,000 dollars worth of chips still in his hands. “Mr. Clarke, you have luck on your side today. I’m afraid we might lose our pants if we continue playing with you,” Victor joked. In fact, Philip’s good luck today was only one factor. It was mainly because the rest were signaling at each other to make Philip happy. That was why Philip could win so much in just a
Philip pinched the cigarette between his fingertips and said after taking a puff, “Come on. We’re just hanging around anyway. Let’s go and watch some excitement.” Since Philip had said so, the others could not refute and went along with him. This was Victor’s turf. Even if something happened, he could handle it. They came to the private room not far away. The door had been opened by the staff. Inside, a fat guy with a big head who looked like a rich businessman was sitting on the sofa while holding a woman on his lap. He was tearing the woman’s clothes with a bodyguard while a blonde foreigner at the gambling table watched with relish. The woman was full of anger and resistance, but she could not get away even if she put up a struggle. At this time, Philip was certain that the woman was none other than Yolanda Lee! “Stop!” Philip bellowed and dropped the cigarette. He rushed into the room and pushed the fat businessman away. The man fell to the ground on his butt. Philip
After listening, Philip looked back at Yolanda. Her head was lowered and she did not say anything.The fat man said angrily, “Master Bell, although this is your territory, there are rules on the streets too. This is something we’ve agreed upon. You have no right to interfere in this matter, right? If you insist, I'm afraid people will be unhappy!” The fat man said triumphantly. He was a member of the Harrison family! Who would dare to disrespect him? “This…” Victor was in a tough spot. Firstly, Randolph did have a point. Secondly, Victor was not in a position to provoke the Harrison family. For a short while, Victor was between a rock and a hard place. “Master Bell, since everything is clear now, please leave the room. Don’t stop us from playing cards!” As Randolph said that, he walked to Yolanda and said with a wicked smile, “Come on, beautiful, stop thinking about it. No one will help you. Come back here and let us continue!” He made a grabbing motion as he said th
Philip said flatly, “Have you laughed enough? Can you just say if this suggestion will work?” Randolph choked from laughter. A female attendant next to him came over and patted his chest. Randolph smiled and said, “Yes, if you’re capable, you can win back what she lost to me. If you can do that, I’ll let this b*tch go. But, if you lose, what do I get? Don't say I’m looking down on you. With your looks, I don’t think I can even get 50,000 if I sell you off.” Philip scratched his head. “Yes, I have no money… In that case, I’ll bet on one of my hands.” “Mr. Clarke!” “You can’t do this, Mr. Clarke!” “I have money! You can take it! You can’t place such a bet!” Victor and the others said anxiously. The most important thing in the casino was the rules. As long as the two parties made a bet, the terms must be met. It was just like what had happened to Yolanda today. Since she had agreed with Randolph in advance that she would undress if she lost, even Victor Bell could not say
When Victor and the others saw the foreigner folding, they quietly breathed a sigh of relief. They were really holding their breaths for Philip earlier. Yolanda’s face also relaxed a little. Philip smiled and said, “Didn’t you say you could beat me if you drew a straight? Why did you fold?” The foreigner grunted. At the casino, luck was still very important at the beginning. Even an expert might not be confident to win against a rookie like Philip. Moreover, with the few cards just now, Philip’s points were higher than his. If the kid really got lucky, it would not be worth it. “I was afraid a young lad like you might lose your hand, so I’m letting you win a game first,” the foreigner said. Philip glanced at the foreigner's hole card covered under his hand, smiled slightly, and said, “Then I'll have to thank you for the 150,000 dollars.” After saying that, he took the three chips worth 50,000 dollars that the foreigner pushed over. The second round began. The ho
Fitz felt particularly bad at the thought that he failed to protect his people. He vowed to take revenge. People of other races shared the same thoughts. Everyone thought that their people had gone out to seek ways to leave but were met with an accident. Unexpectedly, they were harmed by the spider people, which was simply despicable and unacceptable. “You just need to sacrifice one more person for everyone to leave this dangerous place and lift the curse from us,” Weaver said. Everyone's eyes turned bloodshot at his words, shocked that Weaver would say that so openly. “Hehe, you’re really bold to perform a sacrifice. Why not use one of your own?” Fitz laughed and stared at Weaver. Weaver scowled. Of course, the idea crossed his mind, but the records stated that they had to use other races for sacrifice. Using their own people as sacrifice would void it, so they had to use others. This would not only reduce the other party’s manpower but also save a lot of effort. However,
Philip wanted to figure out what the spider people were up to. It looked like they had been planning this for a long time, which was terrifying. He had to let the others know about this. Everyone had the right to know. Moreover, the pitiful magpie woman was scared out of her wits. Philip had to bring her home. “Let's go back now. We’ll explore this place later. Do you want to stay here or go out with us?” Philip looked at Celeste curiously. He did not think she was brave enough to venture out. Sure enough, Celeste tugged at the corner of her clothes as she pondered. “I'll go out with you!” Celeste finally decided after much deliberation. Since she had decided to follow Philip, there was no point in hiding here anymore. She had to pluck up the courage. Celeste had lived in the forest for very long and had never gone out before, so she was curious about the outside world. “I want to see the outside world!” Celeste said nervously. Philip simply nodded without a word. The
At this point, Philip sprang into action. He appeared in front of the other party, catching them off guard. “Who allowed you to kill people for no reason?” The spider people were shocked by Philip’s sudden appearance. They were frightened to see someone there, and he was none other than the human who had strayed into this place by accident. The spiders panicked and wanted to run, but Philip quickly released Puffy. The spider people could not escape because of the curse placed on them and also because of Puffy's existence. The passage only allowed entry, not exit. When anyone stepped into that passage, they would not only come under Puffy’s attack but also suffer a gut-wrenching pain. They felt something was wrong when they tried to escape. Someone noticed Puffy approaching them and yelled in fear, “It’s that deadly thing!” Someone recognized Puffy and ran away screaming. They had no chance of winning against Puffy, so they had no choice but to run. Seeing someone running aw
Philip could tell that Celeste wanted to help, but she was too weak to do anything. “Don’t worry so much. Let’s wait and see what happens. If possible, we won’t stand by and do nothing. These people are simply outrageous.” Philip did not have a good impression of the spider people, and this incident made it worse. “Not bad!” Rabbit hopped onto Celeste’s shoulder excitedly. Ever since he found out that Celeste had no ability, he liked her even more. He liked people who had no combat power. Except for that extra eye, there was nothing strange about her. Besides, she was quite a beautiful woman, so Rabbit was fond of her. “Philip will take care of it. Don’t worry about it. He’s an outstanding man who fights for justice. You’ll have a good life if you follow Philip, especially since you have that ability but are powerless to take care of yourself. I’m sure you need someone to protect you,” Rabbit chattered away. Rabbit knew how special Celeste’s ability was. She would be of gr
Celeste seemed simple and kind, and after she told Philip everything she knew, Philip and Rabbit gradually changed their minds about her for the better. “We actually learned such a big secret this time. What a surprise!” Philip exclaimed. He followed Celeste to the altar, which was very far away. Before they reached the altar, they smelled a strong stench of blood. Philip frowned at this unexpected development. Rabbit covered his nose in surprise at the strong stench of blood. “Wait, I don’t think it’s human blood.” Philip sensed that the blood came from the few pitiful races. “I can smell it. Except for the spider people, I smell the blood of other races!” At this moment, a soft sound came from the side. Celeste quickly pulled Philip and Rabbit to hide in the corner. Celeste had lost the ability to be invisible, so she could only take Philip to hide in a panic. She knew that they could not expose themselves. “Someone is coming. Stay here and don’t do anything. You’ll f
“No one ever comes to my place. You must be outsiders.” Celeste was curious, wondering who Philip was. Celeste knew about the four unique races, but Philip’s appearance and form did not fit any of them. “You’re right. I’m an outsider. I wanted to know something, so I came to the forest. It’s best if you can give me an answer. I don’t intend to harm anyone. If you can answer my questions, I’ll leave and remove the curse on you as well,” Philip persuaded her. He felt that the woman was quite sincere, different from what he imagined. In that case, there was no need to make things difficult for her. Besides, he did not feel a murderous vibe in her, so she had probably never done anything bad. Philip had no reason to make things difficult for someone who liked to hide and sing. “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I know, but I don’t really know much. I usually stay in my own territory and have no contact with the outside world. Even the other races don't know of my existence.” Rabbit
Philip felt that there was no problem with his hearing. Someone was humming a song, and the tune sounded very strange and spooky in the dark forest. Rabbit frowned and nodded. He also heard the strange sound and was scared. “Who has nothing better to do but to sing here?” Rabbit nervously grabbed the corner of Philip's clothes, afraid that Philip would leave him behind. Philip shook his head. According to the others, no one would come here for no reason. Due to various dangers in the forest, they would only wander around the edge without seeking trouble in the depths. In that case, the abrupt singing voice was very strange, indeed. “Philip, don't be nervous. Stay calm.” Rabbit's voice was trembling. Although Rabbit kept telling Philip to stay calm, he was already freaking out, so scared that he nearly wanted to run away. Philip knew Rabbit’s character, so he did not comment. He simply observed the surroundings and listened carefully to the sound, which was so ethereal tha
Philip took Puffy along and quickly arrived in a forest where the other races usually hunted, so they should not face any danger here. As soon as Philip left, a woman appeared in the corner and looked in the direction where Philip left with a conflicted look on her face. “Should I follow him?” Ariadna had been left behind in the snake people’s village. She had no friends, and no one paid her any attention. Sometimes, they even displayed their ridicule and disdain for her. She did not get good treatment even though she was a junior from the outside world. In desperation, Ariadna decided to follow Philip. Unexpectedly, she saw Philip with a cute kid the next second. Ariadna was surprised to see that Philip had such a big and cute child. “Wait, that kid looks a little weird.” Due to the distance, Ariadna could not see what the kid looked like, but his color and body shape seemed different from that of normal people. After much deliberation, Ariadna decided to tag along, co
“I’ll look around and find out what’s going on. Don’t worry about me. Look for Ronan if anything crops up.” Philip decided to leave Ronan in charge. Ronan did not object. He knew that Philip wanted to train him. He rarely interacted with others, so he had poor social skills. He had improved with Philip’s help, but his skills were still nothing compared to Philip’s subordinates. He was deeply moved by the opportunity that Philip had given him. “Sure enough, heroes will emerge from the youth. You two will have a bright future!” Wren said excitedly. Philip did not comment. After a few pleasantries, he wandered around with Rabbit. Selma and her people had no time for Philip. They finally found their predecessors, so they had many questions to solve. Philip was most interested in getting to the bottom of this mysterious place. It felt more like a cage designed to trap them. It was devoid of rich energy and other resources suitable for them. What was the purpose of the person b
