Meanwhile, Toby stood in Philip’s path, his face looking smug as he said, “Philip, you’re too arrogant. When my dad arrives later, you won’t be able to escape. Why don’t we do this? You can go down on your knees and apologize to me before signing the document on your wife’s behalf. If you do that, I’ll let you go without pursuing this matter. However, if you still insist on fighting to the end with me, then I’m sorry, but you’ll end up miserably today! I’ll also send your wife to jail!” Toby lost his patience. He did not expect this little matter to cause so much trouble for him. This Philip Clarke had some means. However, they were just some petty tricks. Besides, Philip was also relying on his wife’s connections. He was a kept man through and through! However, Philip looked at Toby calmly and said, “What’s the hurry? Your dad is on his way here. If I’m guessing correctly, he must have contacted someone.” “My dad? Oh, do you really think he’ll come over? Why does my dad ne
William blamed himself for pampering his son too much and allowing him to run rampant. If this matter could not be resolved today, the Little family might really suffer. He wondered what the outcome of Sire’s communication was. Toby felt extremely embarrassed at this moment. His father actually slapped him in front of outsiders, which made him feel very humiliated! Thus, he glared at Philip with resentment and said angrily, “What the hell did you do? Why did my dad come over?” Philip chuckled. William was extremely furious and slapped him again while chastising, “Toby, shut the hell up! How dare you talk to Mr. Clarke that way? Do you know that I’ve been removed from the Holton Law Firm? I’m just an ordinary lawyer now. Whether I can get through this difficult situation depends on Mr. Clarke, so you need to apologize to him at once! Also, what stupid thing did you do to make Mr. Clarke so angry?” Toby was dumbfounded! His dad had been removed from Holton Law Firm? How
Since young, he had had his fair share of being beaten by William like this. It had left a shadow in his heart. William belted him several times before turning around and squeezing out a smile. He did not even dare to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead and spoke to Philip, “Mr. Clarke, I’m sorry. My son is ignorant and has offended your wife. Why don’t I get him to apologize to your wife?” “Why are you lying down and pretending to be dead? Quickly get up and apologize to Mr. Clarke!” William yelled at the howling Toby. A dumbfounded Toby was dragged up by William to apologize to Philip. However, Philip said, “Patriarch Little, you may have misunderstood something. I never promised to let him go. Of course, I didn't promise to spare the Little family either. Besides, your son was quite adamant about sending my wife to jail just now. He even wanted me to kneel and apologize to him.” Hearing this, William’s mouth twitched as his eyes flashed with a chill. His fists were clench
William's face changed as the muscles at the corner of his eyes twitched. He clenched his fists, the corners of his eyes going cold. This Philip Clarke was too aggressive. William gritted his teeth and said coldly, “Mr. Clarke, you should be more forgiving. There’s no need to push things to the extreme. It’s good to leave others a way out.” However, Philip did not speak and just watched quietly. Seeing the look on Philip’s face, William could no longer control himself and shouted angrily, “Philip, don’t be such a tyrant! I’m the head of the Little family, after all. Even if you’ve used some tactics to remove me from the Holton Law Firm, do you really think I’ll be afraid of you? The connections I have are not fewer than yours, so don’t push your luck! If you know what’s good for you, you should let this matter end here. I’ll not hold you accountable for today's incident. Otherwise, I vow to send you to jail!” William was really furious! He had humbled himself and pleaded fo
Luke Tucker, who was on the other end of the phone, was so frightened after hearing these names that he fell limp onto the chair. His eyes revealed his panicked state while the cold sweat on his forehead poured like a waterfall! How could this happen? Could it be that someone had leaked the information? These were the names of the people he had secretly supported to make money for him! There was no wrong name on the list! He had been supporting these people for many years and this matter had been kept under tight wraps. However, it was now being exposed by a stranger with no background. Luke was flabbergasted! Who on earth was the other party and how did he find out everything about him in such a short time? What a terrifying force this man must be! “Mr. Clarke, I think there may be a misunderstanding between us.” Luke was completely panic-stricken. His legs were shaking and he quickly pleaded, “Let’s do this, Mr. Clarke. I won’t interfere in the Little family’s affai
Lynn Johnston was very scared and whimpered, “Brother-in-law, I was wrong. Don’t hit me. I’m scared.” Lynn was panicking now. She never imagined that Philip was so powerful! In such a short time, not only did he get Toby’s license revoked but also his father’s membership revoked! He even got them arrested! His methods were simply too terrifying! Lynn had never heard of such means. All along, she thought Philip was just a loser who relied on Wynn. He was supposed to be a kept husband. However, everything that happened today made her panic. Philip Clarke was not at all what he appeared to be! It was too frightening! “Lynn, pass my message along. I’ll return to Riverdale in the evening. Tell the two uncles to get ready and welcome me.” Philip said coldly as his eyes surged with intense anger! Martin Johnston and Bernard Johnston—these two people were simply looking for death! Did they really think he dared not make a move against them? Lynn whimpered and nodded
Hearing this, Bernard was anxious and quickly asked, “One sentence? What did he say?” Lynn shuddered and replied, “He said that in this world, there’s no one that he, Philip Clarke, can't afford to mess with—not even the Little family. They can only wait for their destruction.” Hiss! On the other end of the phone, Bernard gasped as his back was immediately drenched in a cold sweat. Why was this guy so arrogant? No one in the world could mess with him? Too presumptuous! After a moment of silence, Lynn's voice was heard over the phone. She sounded very anxious and worried as she asked, “Dad, what should we do? Toby has been arrested and the Little family is gone now. Will we be arrested too? Will Philip come after us?” Bernard’s face went dark. He was no longer a man of an ordinary household, working hard every day just for his daily bread and butter. Now, he was on the board of directors of Beacon Group. He had money and status. Every day, he went in and out of opule
At this moment, Martin was chatting with a few friends in the living room of the villa. They were the directors of Beacon Group and also the co-initiators of this covert battle! Seeing Bernard barge in, Martin frowned and said to the people around him, “Excuse me for a moment.” After that, he got up and went to the small garden next to the villa with Bernard following closely behind. “Tell me what’s wrong. Why are you panicking like this? How indecent. Stop making a fool of yourself.” Martin scowled. They had overstepped their boundaries and put on shoes that were too big for their feet. They were already used to poverty but suddenly, this big enterprise fell right onto their laps. Furthermore, being in the position of chairman, many of their bad habits naturally had to be changed! This was why the Johnston brothers had spent so much money to repackage and rebrand themselves. Firstly, it was to satisfy their vanity. Secondly, it was to show everyone that they were not beggars
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
