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

“How about it, Mr. Clarke? It’s time for you to reveal your card! Now that you’ve seen my hole card, are your hands shaking so much that they can’t hold onto your card anymore?” the foreigner taunted. Philip said to the foreigner, “Since I’ve staked everything I have, I won’t regret it. But for you to call my 150,000 dollars, aren’t you afraid of losing? I advise you to back out now while I haven’t revealed my card.” The foreigner waved his hand and said, “Do you think it’s useful to intimidate me?” While saying that, he took two chips from in front of him and threw them on the table. “Go on. I don't believe your luck is still as good as the last hand!” Philip shook his head and said, “You're right, I had good luck in the last hand. The odds of having good luck two hands in a row are pretty small.” As Philip said that, he used two fingers to pick up his hole card. “However, I don’t know why, but my luck is really that good. Are you angry?” With that said, he tossed his ho

“You!” Yolanda’s eyes instantly popped wide open. She was a very strong-headed woman. This time, if not for the special circumstances, she would never have agreed to come over and gamble with Randolph. Moreover, Randolph took advantage of Yolanda’s unwillingness to admit defeat and eagerness to win, goading her into borrowing money to continue gambling. Before Yolanda could finish speaking, Philip waved his hand and interrupted her words. Philip smiled and said, “I agree to the raise.” Victor was surprised. Did Philip have the confidence to win? However, looking at the situation in front of him, a miracle could not happen twice. The chances of winning were too small! “Hahaha, Mr. Clarke, you’re such a decisive person!” the foreigner said as he pushed out another five million dollars in chips. Now, the foreigner had seven million dollars worth of chips out on the table. “Philip, what are you saying? How dare you use me as a bet?” Yolanda was anxious now. Although she

“Mr. Clarke, you’re too hasty.” The foreigner suddenly laughed and said, “You're too eager to win back the money the little b*tch has lost. The two million you have now, plus the five million you raised, makes it a total of seven million dollars. Do you want to make a comeback? I won’t give you that chance. I’m folding this hand.” After saying that, he pushed his chips to Philip and turned over his hole card—seven of hearts. The audience was surprised and murmured. Philip ignored the foreigner's words and silently turned over his hole card as well. It was an ace of spades! Instantly, the private room fell into a dead silence! Philip’s cards were the ace of spades, nine of hearts, seven of diamonds, four of spades, and three of spades. The foreigner's cards were the seven of hearts, king of spades, ten of hearts, seven of clubs, and two of spades. Philip had a loose hand while the foreigner had a pair! However, the foreigner folded his cards and admitted defeat, losi

As the foreigner said that, he pushed over five million dollars in chips. Philip frowned and said dubiously, “Your card is smaller than mine but you’re raising five million at once. Is it your turn to trick me this time?” The foreigner glared at Philip and said, “You don’t know if I’m tricking you, but I know for sure that you won’t dare to call.” “Are you trying to agitate me into calling?” Philip smiled faintly. “Fine, as you wish!” With that, he pushed over five million dollars in chips as well. The foreigner was stunned, but he gave a faint sneer afterward. “Very well, you’re very gutsy.” The third card was the jack of clubs for Philip and the queen of hearts for the foreigner. “Sorry, I already have a pair of queens. It seems like lady luck is not on your side this round!” The foreigner laughed and said, “Seven million dollars!” Philip smiled faintly and said, “Call.” On the fourth card, Philip got ten of spades and the foreigner got five of clubs. Philip thoug

The foreigner clenched his fists until they creaked and sneered, “I admit that I underestimated you at first, but now it seems that nine million dollars is worth paying for that lucky hand of yours. How about it? Do you dare to call?” “Call!” Philip said with certainty and without any doubt. The room went into an uproar again! Victor’s face was very ugly. Looking at the foreigner's expression, it seemed that he was determined to win. Although he did not know what card Philip had, what if he lost? Thinking about it, Victor had made up his mind. Anyway, this was his turf. If Randolph and his men really wanted to hurt Philip, even if Victor was branded as someone who did not follow the rules, he would not let them touch a hair on Philip’s head! As for the person of distinguished status behind Randolph… He could only deal with that in the future! At this time, the foreigner was grinning so broadly that he could not keep his mouth closed. He laughed while shaking his hea

The atmosphere in the room instantly exploded! Oddly enough, everyone shouted in unison, “Young Master Clarke! Young Master Clarke!” Philip laughed aloud. This was exhilarating! This was a true card game! Exciting! Following the habit of a certain movie character, Philip asked Victor, “Any chocolate?” “I’ll get it! I’ll get some!” Victor went crazy with joy! Young Master Clarke was truly amazing! He had nothing else to say! He conceded! Yolanda was surprised and happy. She covered her mouth with both hands, her face full of incredulity! Due to the big movement, Philip’s jacket slipped from her shoulders and her undergarment was exposed. Yolanda blushed and quickly pulled the clothes around her body before anyone noticed. “This… What’s going on? Pete?” Randolph stared at the foreigner with wide eyes. The foreigner named Pete was completely dumbfounded now, his brain in a complete mess. Hearing the boss calling out his name, he quickly regained his consciousne

Philip called out to Victor and the rest, saying, “Everyone, things should be settled now. Since Mr. Randolph Harrison will surely abide by the rules, he won’t make things difficult for Miss Lee anymore, right?” Philip looked at Randolph after saying that. Randolph’s face was already red with anger! He snorted angrily and said, “Of course. It's not your place to tell me what to do!” Philip nodded. “That’s good to hear. Everyone, let’s continue to have fun.” Then, he walked out with the rest. At this moment, Pete, the foreigner, suddenly rushed over and grabbed Philip's shoulder! “What are you doing?” Victor yelled. Pete's eyes were cold as he said bitterly, “It's not over yet! You can't leave. Let's play another round.” Philip asked, “Why should I? I’ve already won back all the money owed by Miss Lee. There’s no need to continue, right?” “No way!” Pete's eyes were now bloodshot like he was a wild beast in a frenzy! He was a gambling master! He had never met his

Aslan and the others were aware of Akash’s fake identity too. No one wanted to interact with him, but they had to greet him to avoid exposing themselves. At the same time, Marina arrived with her father and other family members. To be on the safe side, they did not meet Philip collectively but left some backup plans. “Marina, as your father, I have to remind you that I won’t treat him kindly if I find out that he’s not a good person,” the chief said solemnly. He felt a little uneasy at the thought of meeting his daughter’s crush. He wondered if Philip had a good character, how many people he had in his family, and whether he was worthy of his precious daughter. However, even if Philip was worthy, he would not agree to their relationship. After all, they belonged to two different species. What if they gave birth to a fish creature? The beautiful merfolk would never allow those ugly creatures to tarnish their reputation. “Dad, you think too much. I have no ideas about him

The call between the two ended after a brief exchange. Rodney smiled in disdain. He was aware of his mission, but he had no idea that the Loony he was looking for was right next to him. He only knew that Philip was quite strong and had many treasures on hand. “Everything will be different once I get the elf water. At that time, this bunch of stupid guys…” Although the demons could not comprehend the book very well, they understood the general content written on it. They needed elf water if they wanted to get rid of the identity of demons. Although it was harmful to them, it could purify their bodies in combination with certain spells. Unfortunately, they just found the secret and finally found the elves when they realized that someone had wiped out the elves, which was infuriating. Rodney found Philip because he knew that Philip had the elf water. Loony was his second mission.… The night passed quickly, and Philip and Loony were chatting so exuberantly that they forgot

“I have to take responsibility for it. Demons were not so strong back then. They became so powerful because of my book. That book can be considered a divine artifact, and its contents have a great effect on all creatures.” Philip was interested in Loony’s explanation. He wanted to know why the book had such a powerful effect. “Everyone always calls me a lunatic. Indeed, I do go crazy from time to time, but I never lose my awareness. I know what I should do and what the consequences will be if the book falls into the wrong hands.” Loony looked at Philip earnestly, clearly asking for a favor. In his opinion, only Philip could save him. “That book is the first half, and its content is difficult to understand. Even I could only comprehend a little. I hope you can help me get it back. If you succeed, I’ll give you the second half. It’d be best if you can practice it.” To be honest, Philip was not in favor of this suggestion. Practicing such things might affect his path and bring h

“Is that person human?” the chief grasped the key point and asked the crucial question. Everyone nodded. They knew Philip’s identity and did not care that he was human. They saw him as a friend. “I entered Philip’s world by chance, and he helped me return. If it weren't for him, those things would probably have killed me by now. They're very strong, indeed.” Marina felt a lingering fear when she recalled past events. She knew how powerful those ugly creatures were. The fish creatures had become very strong for some reason as if they could overwhelm the merfolk at any time. “He opened the passage to this world, sent me back, and restored our people back to health. We would've died if not for his help. Philip is our friend, not foe,” Marina defended Philip. The chief was heartbroken to hear his daughter defend a man like this. His precious daughter had grown up or she would not have said such a thing. “Okay, in that case, I look forward to seeing this young man named Philip

“If you don't save me right now, I’ll die and leave you with nowhere to go!” Abele screamed in her mind. Very soon, Akash felt a strong force surging over him. The strong force broke his hold and burned his hand. “Such a strong burning force. What did you encounter to become so powerful?” Akash was taken aback, surprised that Abele was so lucky and became so powerful. He was very envious and thought of taking the ability from her. “You don't need to worry about it!” Abele clutched her neck in fear and ordered the elves behind her. “Leave. Don’t fight this person head-on. His technique is very strange!” Abele took the lead and ran away, clearly afraid of the other party. Akash did not give chase. He thought it was enough to drive them away. He was afraid that the matter would get out of hand and attract Philip's attention. He still wanted to remain undercover, disguised as Akash. He had no idea that Philip had been hiding in the dark and watching as everything unfolded, no

“Don’t worry. He’s not as powerful as you think. Besides, you can take control of my body at the critical moment, can’t you?” Abele patted her chest confidently. Hearing that, the mysterious voice stopped wasting its breath on Abele. They arrived at Philip’s residence at this point. They were surprised to find the door wide open as if Philip was waiting for their arrival. “That’s strange. Does he always leave the door open, or is he prepared to deal with us?” Abele was puzzled and pushed the door open carefully. Maybe the door was too old, so it made a creaking sound, which was quite unpleasant. There was no one behind the door. “What’s going on?” The ugly elves entered the garden but only saw some empty teacups with no sign of anyone. “They must have heard the news and ran away in advance or this place wouldn’t be empty now!” Abele was disappointed that they ran so quickly. In reality, Philip had stuffed everyone in Verge Tower while he watched the scene in a hidden co

“Take this pill and you won’t have to go around with this scary face anymore. Even if it doesn't scare our women, it's not good to scare other people.” Philip helped Loony as a show of his sincerity. He was a pitiful man, after all. “That’s great. I’ve not seen a pill for many years!” He seemed to trust Philip and swallowed the pill Philip gave him without hesitation. He looked very satisfied as if he was Philip’s devoted follower. After he swallowed the pill, his injuries healed before everyone’s eyes, and he was soon back to normal. Loony was surprised by that powerful force and trusted Philip even more. Philip set a barrier around Loony and gave him a room to rest. The barrier he set could shield Loony and buy them some time. He knew that the ugly elves were right on their tail, and it was also about time for the merfolk to find them. Philip would be in trouble if everyone showed up at the same time. Therefore, it was better to conceal Loony and take care of the thin

“I’m running out of time. I have a curse on me, and they can find my whereabouts. I’ll die if you don’t help me.” “You said you can help me escape from this world. What do you mean by that?” Philip was more interested in this topic. After all, everyone would think that the world of the gods was a good place. Why would anyone choose to leave? Unless that person was a fool. This world was full of energy and resources. If humans were not seen as outcasts, Philip could not understand why anyone would want to leave. “This world is nothing but a huge cage. Those people are unaware of it because they're trapped inside. No one knows that they're nothing but the playthings of the so-called upper gods. They’ll be abandoned once the interest wears off one day!” Hearing that, Aslan came to a conclusion. This guy was no doubt a mental patient who should be sent to the hospital for treatment. “Philip, do you believe him? I think he’s nothing but a patient from a mental asylum.” Aslan f

“What’s this vintage family?” Philip had never heard of this family in all the worlds he traveled, so he had no idea what the other party was talking about. “My family is proficient in voodoo and has always used it to embark on the path of practice. But our powerful practice makes us a prime target for those with ulterior motives too.” The people of this family were very powerful, so everyone envied them and tried to harm them. “The members of my family led a normal life back then, but later, many people were deceived into marrying people of other races. As a result, the offspring of such pairings became monsters without legs! “We'd only find one normal child among a dozen children, which is a great blow to our family. No one could accept it! “I’m the only normal child among my batch of children, so I have a distinguished status. Something happened to my family after I was born, so I’m probably the last descendant of my family.” Philip was very excited to hear the other p
