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
“You! Very well! You’re very audacious! This is the first time I’ve heard such words. How dare you make a move against my Little family? Well done! I want to see how capable you are!” On the other end, William looked furious at the moment. He was standing in a magnificent hall surrounded by many well-dressed men and women, all elites in the domestic law industry. All of them were also guest contributors of the Little family. The Little family still had some weight in the legal world. After all, as a member of the Holton Law Firm, one of the four largest law firms in the country, they had a lot of resources. At this moment, they were surprised to see William hang up the phone in anger. “Patriarch Little, what's the situation? Why are you so angry? Someone dares to take action against the Little family?” the middle-aged man on the side asked. Hmph! William snorted coldly as he stood with his hands behind his back. The brows on his angular face furrowed suddenly as he said
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
