After speaking, Wynn cried out in agitation, her voice getting louder and louder. The First Palace held many of her and Philip’s memories. She still remembered when Philip bought her the diamond ring for the first time. She still remembered the wedding photoshoot with Philip there. She also remembered witnessing Philip’s changes along the way. However, now everything had changed and became out of control. Beacon Group was in complete control of the two uncles. Everyone on the board of directors had been changed to their people, and even the security personnel in the villa had been replaced. In short, Wynn and her family had no place to return to in Riverdale now. Moreover, the second uncle, Martin Johnston, also filed a lawsuit against Wynn’s family. He was accusing Wynn of embezzling company funds to purchase the First Palace in Longford Park. The board of directors then made the decision to officially dismiss Wynn. On the other hand, the third uncle, Bernard Johnsto
Philip raised his eyebrows, stared at Martha, and said in a grim voice, “Martha, since you’re not well enough yet, you shouldn’t swagger around too much. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that you can return to Riverdale in one piece.” After saying that, Philip turned around and left the suite. Martha was instantly angry and pointed at Philip's back as he left. She yelled with a face full of hatred, “Charles Johnston, just look at Philip Clarke! What does he mean by that? Huh? He’s not even treating me as a human being!” Philip left the suite and came to the hotel lobby. He dialed Theo Zander’s phone number and his respectful voice sounded from the other end. “Mr. Clarke, how may I help you?” “You’re not in Riverdale?” Philip asked coldly. Theo quickly replied, “Yes, Mr. Clarke. Something has happened in the Penhart Region. The last chamber of commerce caused an adverse chain reaction. Several forces are eager to destroy the chamber of commerce alliance that you finally managed to
Philip just glanced at him without shaking hands and asked Lynn instead, “Your new boyfriend?” Toby’s hand froze in mid-air as he narrowed his eyes a little. He smiled awkwardly and withdrew his hand. Lynn, on the other hand, looked at Philip smugly and said, “Yes, how about it? My boyfriend is a band three lawyer with an annual salary of ten million dollars! He runs a law firm and is famous in Riverdale! He even has friends in Uppercreek!” When Lynn said this, her face could not contain her triumph like a child eager to show off her toys. Philip frowned and looked at Toby, who was still smiling faintly. However, Philip had caught the chill in his eyes just now. Hehe, he wanted to see what kind of a person this lawyer was. “Tell me why you asked me to meet up,” Philip asked as he settled into his seat naturally. Lynn tilted her head, looked in the direction of the door, and asked, “Why isn’t Wynn here?” “She’s not feeling well. I’m here on her behalf. You can talk to me
“Mr. Clarke, it's useless for you to intimidate Lynn. I hope you can consider this matter carefully and decide on the best course of action for Madam Wynn Johnston,” Toby said with a smile. In his eyes, Philip was nothing more than a dodgy little punk. Since just now, Toby thought he had Philip figured out. He was nothing to be afraid of! Philip smiled, looked at Toby with scorching eyes, and asked, “Where is the incriminating evidence you mentioned? My wife is a good law-abiding citizen. How could she have embezzled company funds? Don't frame her.” Toby already expected that Philip would ask this question. He took out another document, handed it to Philip, and said, “This is the bank transfer record. You can see it for yourself.” Philip frowned, took the document, and glanced at it. His expression instantly darkened. These records happened within two months, and each transaction was as large as millions and as small as tens of thousands. “Mr. Clarke, we won’t unjustly
Hearing this, Toby’s expression changed in an instant as his gaze turned grim. Bam! He slammed the table, got up, and pointed at Philip while roaring, “Are you trying to scare me? Are you saying that someone will come to arrest me? Hehe, you should know that I’m a band three lawyer. I have many friends in the Uppercreek law circle!” Philip chuckled. “Yeah, that sounds great, but I wonder if you can scrape through this. Since you said so, I'll tell you that in the next ten minutes, everything you have will all fall apart. Starting with you. Your law license will be revoked and your law firm will be investigated for shady business. Then, all those friends of yours will start to shun you. Finally, your reputation will be ruined.” Hahaha! Toby laughed aloud. With his face full of chills and a menacing smile at the corners of his mouth, he said, “Ridiculous! Do you think I’ll be afraid of you with just these few words of yours? You’re still too immature to destroy me! “I can tel
There was a brief silence on the line before a roar sounded. “Holton Law Firm? Let me tell you, Donald, even their founder has to be polite when he sees that person! That ignorant Little family actually dared to mess with him. They must be tired of living!” Click! The call disconnected! Donald was dumbfounded as his hand which held the phone shook. It was over. Something had happened! That person? Toby Little must have provoked someone! Without hesitation, Donald immediately dialed the phone number and said, “Organize a small team and conduct an investigation on Tobias Law Firm immediately! Remember, make it quick and keep it confidential!” After saying that, he immediately informed his assistant and said, “Immediately issue a notice to revoke Toby Little's law license.” “Yes, Mr. Jones.” The assistant was about to leave after speaking. “Wait!” Donald exclaimed. His face darkened as he said, “Notify the Little family and tell them about this matter.” Donald wanted
What? His law license had been revoked? Toby was stunned and rooted on the spot, the corners of his mouth trembling. “Mr. Jones, are you hungover? Do you know what you're talking about?” Toby frowned and asked coldly. What was this Donald Jones doing? However, Donald said on the other end of the line, “Toby, I’m not joking with you. After investigation, we’ve decided to revoke your law license. At the same time, your law firm will also be investigated. You should get ready. This time, it’s entirely up to you if you can weather this storm. I can’t help you.” When Toby heard this, his heart thumped. He asked anxiously, “Donald, tell me, is someone messing with me? Is it Godfrey Hart and his people?” Toby was annoyed! When something like this happened out of the blue, there was only one explanation—his rival had made a move against him! However... Donald said, “I’m not sure who it is exactly. I can only tell you that this time, the order was personally given by Mr. W
“Are you Toby Little? Your law firm has been seized and all documents and hard drives have been taken away by us. We’re officially issuing a warrant for your arrest.” Hearing this, the cold sweat on Toby’s body dripped! What? The company was being investigated? All the documents and hard disks were taken away? Oh no! He was in trouble now! All his secrets could not be kept under wraps now. Those documents and hard drives contained evidence of his corruption! At this point, Toby could no longer stay calm. His hand holding the phone also started to tremble violently! He fell back on the seat, his eyes staring ahead blankly. His body was shaking all over! He raised his head, stared at Philip, and roared, “Did you do all this?” How did this happen? Who the hell was he? How could he have such terrifying power? In just ten minutes, Philip had his law license revoked and even his company was being investigated! Philip chuckled, his eyes looking indifferent as he
Ronan and Philip moved forward and finally arrived at the human town. Philip looked around curiously and found that it was a large city. Humans had done quite well in developing a city. “If you’re not happy with this place, you can consider going to the city in the west. You can find many human territories nearby. I don’t know why humans are unwilling to live together but prefer to build cities everywhere!” Ronan was not human, so he could not understand it. “Although my mother is a human, I’m not. I only remember living in that hut since I was born. No other race is willing to accept me, including humans.” Ronan was embarrassed because he had scales on his body that were clearly visible at sea but not so much on land. Humans were unwilling to classify Ronan as a human because of that. Philip nodded, surprised to hear his pitiful plight. Not only did he not have his own race, but his mother’s race was unwilling to acknowledge him too. “That’s awful. Why don't you join u
“This is it, crystal! This little stone can get me a big bottle of wine! Since I’m lucky enough to meet you today, I’ll give it to you!” Ronan clearly had no concept of money. Philip took the stone from Ronan’s hand and found that it was no different from an energy stone. He tried to return the stone to Ronan, who rejected it. “I don't have much concept of money, but I know that money is indispensable if you want to go to the place where humans live. Just take it. I'm afraid that you’ll be detained if you don't have money. I was detained once before!” Philip was touched by Ronan’s words. He took out a bottle of wine from the space ring and handed it to Ronan. Although the wine was nothing to Philip, it was a rare treasure to Ronan, who had never tasted good wine. “What’s this?” Ronan curiously took the bottle of wine that Philip handed to him. He put it to his nose, sniffed it carefully, and was soon bursting with excitement. “This is good stuff! Do you want to sell it to m
“You’re not from a big family? In that case, how did you become so strong at such a young age?” Ronan looked at Rabbit in surprise too. “I thought you were from a big family, one of the best! After all, only such families have the power to capture summoned beasts for their descendants!” Obviously, Ronan had misunderstood Rabbit’s identity. Rabbit blinked blankly, wondering what Ronan was talking about. “Summoned beast? I'm not a summoned beast; I'm just an ordinary rabbit!” Seeing Ronan’s confusion, Rabbit smugly introduced himself. Although he had no idea what a summoned beast meant, it did not sound imposing, so Rabbit did not like it at all. Ronan was startled to hear that Rabbit was not a summoned beast but a creature with intelligence. He felt very powerful. “Indeed, he’s not a summoned beast but my pet. You can think of him as my partner. I’m more curious about this place.” Philip was puzzled, wondering what was going on in this world. He had not seen any towns so f
“This is the survival of the fittest! We were much stronger than them, so they were at our mercy, just like how we’re at your mercy now!” Someone stepped forward, his voice trembling as if he wanted to rebuke Philip. Seeing his timid appearance but bold attempt, Philip sneered, “In that case, I’m stronger than you, so there’s nothing wrong with killing you. You should pray that I won’t kill you in the cruelest way possible.” Philip raised his sword and killed the fish creature who voiced up. Any sign of weakness and these people would think they had a chance to survive. Ronan applauded Philip’s decisiveness and quickly joined the battle. Philip smiled at Ronan’s excitement. He simply wanted to vent. Over the years, he had been working so hard for his family and their future that he had almost lost sight of himself. He realized that maybe he should live for himself from now on. He wanted to become stronger and dominate the world. He knew that this was a real world. Although
At this time, a merman chased after the deep-sea fish creatures with a trident in hand. “Where do you think you’re going? Don't think I don't know that you took advantage of the chaos to massacre other villages. Since you can do such a thing, you must bear the consequences. I’m here to take your lives today!” The merman was clearly seeking justice, chasing the other party angrily. The deep-sea fish creatures escaped frantically without an explanation. “Damn that lunatic!” They did not expect that the merman was so fit, keeping up with them despite fleeing for so long. He did not seem tired at all. Meanwhile, Philip arrived and heard someone cursing. It looked like a merman. He was a force to be reckoned with. Philip could feel the huge pressure he exuded from a distance. He was definitely a powerful being who should not be trifled with. He was strong enough to drive this race to this state, which was enough to prove how extraordinary he was. The merman was startled
“They really stink. I think you should ask Aslan to do this next time. I believe he’ll enjoy this,” Rabbit said offhandedly as he led Philip in the trail of the scent. Philip smiled. He had recorded Rabbit’s statement with a projection stone. He could expect a good show once he showed it to Aslan. Rabbit had no idea that Philip had laid a trap for him. He was still hopping and leading the way. They soon arrived at a mysterious sea area that was remote and gloomy. “Did they live in such a dangerous and disgusting place?” Rabbit sighed. Sure enough, ugly creatures liked to live in dark places. Similar to the fish creatures, they used to live in a swamp too, maybe to hide their ugly appearance or something. Now that they looked better, they refused to return to the dark and damp environment again. Philip looked around without a word. He saw a stone sign on the side—deep-sea fish creatures. That should be the name of their name. The scale of them seemed quite big. “Ph
Aslan and the others had been teleported to different locations. Everyone was confused and wondered where they were. Some people appeared among some terrifying monsters and started fighting desperately as soon as they landed. Others landed in the desert where Philip was before. They looked about in puzzlement and wondered what was going on. As Philip’s followers, however, they were smart and quickly adapted to the situation. The sneaky little Rabbit was still by Philip’s side. Rabbit stayed in Philip's pocket and clung tightly to his belt the whole time. No powerful force could throw him away, so he managed to stay with Philip. “That was close. I felt a huge force just now and thought I’d be thrown out!” Rabbit felt that something was wrong when he entered. He quickly clung tightly to Philip so that they did not separate. However, that possibility still lingered in his mind, so he made preparations to deal with such a situation. Philip reached out and patted the sneaky Rabb
“Philip, I’m curious to find out what made you stay there for such a long time.” Aslan approached Philip curiously. According to his understanding of Philip, he must have encountered something good, which was why he did not leave at once. Philip smiled indifferently. “You’ll find out soon enough. It’s related to improving everyone's strength,” Philip said mysteriously. Rabbit hopped and looked at Philip anxiously. As an impatient rabbit, he could not bear seeing Philip whetting their appetites. He wanted to share the story immediately. “Since you’re so eager to tell them, go ahead and satisfy their doubts.” Philip smiled and shook his head at Rabbit’s anxiety. Rabbit was very excited to get Philip’s consent. He told everyone what they encountered there and described it so vividly that everyone felt as if they were there too. Philip realized that Rabbit was quite good at telling stories. “You have no idea how amazing that place is. It's full of ordinary creatures, but t
Philip was puzzled by everyone’s reaction. “Why aren't you leaving?” Everyone looked at each other. Some were embarrassed and stepped forward to please Philip. They took out their treasures and offered them to Philip. They were grateful to Philip for saving them and treating them with reason. Some ungrateful families sneaked out after the passage was opened without giving anything in return. Philip ignored them, but he took note of the people who tried to please him. They were smart and had a bright future. Philip was happy with them. As some people left, others followed suit. The merfolk lingered around Philip, unwilling to leave. After all, their chief was gone. No matter how powerful they were, they would never gain a foothold. Their race would be wiped out once they fell to a certain level, so everyone wanted to join Philip. At least Philip was a powerful person. It would be best if Philip was willing to help them. “Please take us in!” “The merfolk don't have many tre
