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
”Who’s there?!” Martin immediately yelled sharply. Swoosh! Instantly, more than a dozen thugs rushed out, closely protecting Martin and Bernard. With a sullen face, Martin went over and kicked the leader of the thugs, saying angrily, “Why the hell are you still standing here? Give chase!” “Yes, of course!” The thug in the lead waved his hand and shouted, “Follow me!” Once he saw that everyone had left, Martin cursed angrily, “Damn it, why did everyone leave? Don’t we need any protection? These people are a bunch of rubbish!” Immediately after, Martin waved his hand and returned to the living room angrily. When all the board members of the company saw Martin coming back with an unpleasant face, they all got up, looking a little frightened. Seeing this, Martin quickly put on a smile and said, “Don’t stand up, please remain seated. Everything’s fine. The house was burglarized but I already got people to check it out.” These board members could not be told that Philip
After Bernard left the steel mill, he headed directly to a club. Then, with the guidance of a dedicated attendant, he entered a dimly lit private room. This room was decorated in a medieval style and a faint fragrance lingered in the air. The sofa bed in the center was surrounded by translucent red curtains. He could see a woman wearing a black nightgown on the bed, lying on her side. Her figure was superb with a small waistline and a perky butt. After Bernard entered, he stood there respectfully, not daring to look at the woman on the bed who was slowly getting up. Her carefree posture would mesmerize any man. He lowered his head and saw her pair of fair jade-like feet walk up to him. He also got a stronger whiff of the fragrance on her. “What are you doing here?” The woman's voice was full of temptation, like the music of nature, which made Bernard’s body heat up. After saying this, the woman lay on the sofa with her legs tucked on her side. Her posture was seductive
The point of view shifted back to Philip’s side. When he returned to the hotel, Wynn was already anxiously pacing back and forth in the living room. Seeing that Philip had returned, she stepped forward anxiously and asked with worry, “How did things go? Have they been settled? What did Lynn say? What did Uncle Martin and Uncle Bernard say?” Philip helped Wynn sit down and comforted her, saying, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this matter. You should stay here and take good care of yourself and the baby. I’ll make a trip back to Riverdale tonight. I think there’ll be some troublesome matters to deal with.” Philip could already guess that the brothers, Martin and Bernard, had already laid down a trap in Riverdale. They were probably waiting for him. However, he was not afraid. “You want to go back to Riverdale? Alone? It’s too risky! Uncle Martin and Uncle Bernard won’t let you off! They even dare to make a move against me, their niece. They’ll have no qualms hurting you, my hu
Wynn looked at Philip very seriously with hope in her eyes. After so long, was Philip finally going to tell her the truth about himself? “Do you want to bring me back?” Wynn asked quietly, feeling a little nervous. If Philip really brought her back, what should she do? How should she face her father-in-law? Although Wynn had met her father-in-law a long time ago and he was also very easy-going, Wynn was still flustered. Moreover, Wynn was not very clear about what was going on in Philip’s family. Was the dispute between him and Giada over? Was it a fight over the family’s properties? Suddenly, many thoughts ran through Wynn’s mind. The more she thought about it, the more confused she got. Philip looked at Wynn's face and touched her tender cheeks. He could seemingly see through Wynn's tension and anxiety at this moment. He said softly, “Don't think too much about it. I’ll take care of everything. When the time comes, we’ll bring Mila with us and you just need to hap
Hearing this, Martha became even more anxious and said angrily, “Old man, what do you mean by that? Do you think he still dares to hit me? If he dares to hit me again, I’ll get Wynnie to divorce him! This loser doesn’t respect me as his mother-in-law at all!” “Divorce? Do you really think Wynn will divorce him now? The baby in her belly will be born in a few months.” Charles sighed. “Why not? Do you think our family can’t survive without Philip?” Martha retorted furiously, “I’m telling you, Charles Johnston, put away your thoughts of flattering him. Philip only has a bit of money now and knows some people. If you really compare him to those people outside, he’s still far from them!” Martha was very clear about who Philip was. Even if he became a king one day, Martha would still despise this piece of trash! Hearing these words, Charles shook his head helplessly and continued to read his newspaper. This crazy woman was really getting more and more unreasonable. It was a
Rabbit hopped around the grandmaster and felt that the latter was not lying. Rabbit had weathered many storms with Philip. He knew that according to human legends, the elves should be noble creatures. They were always arrogant and avoided contact with other creatures. “Anyway, since we’re here, let’s take a look inside. Who knows if any surprises are waiting for us?” Rabbit comforted Philip, and Black Rabbit was startled by his words. “You seem disappointed by this discovery. It doesn’t make sense to me. Are you really not aware of this situation?” Amid Black Rabbit's confusion, everyone entered the territory to watch the fun. Since the guard was enjoying his wonderful life, he did not pay attention to the invaders. He was supposed to be on duty with another guard today, but he swapped the other guard out because he wanted to be on a date with this female elf. The two were having a great romantic time in the room. Philip and his people entered the territory of the elves w
Later, the humans attacked the stone monsters, leaving the stone woman the only remaining survivor. Then, the elves found her. In the end, she was enslaved and became the gatekeeper of the elves. “Don’t blame me for your bad luck if you refuse to believe me. The humans are not to be trifled with. I’m sure you guys are no match for them,” the stone woman said vehemently. She came here with good intentions to report her findings. She wanted to claim the credit, but the other party disregarded her. The stone woman fought Philip earlier and knew exactly how strong he was. Although she was weaker than the elves, she knew that Philip could crush them easily and they would not be able to do anything about it. The elf warrior who received the message did not report the incident but returned to his station happily. He had been flirting with his female companion before they were interrupted. He had finally found a suitable female elf after so many years of being single, so he had no
Black Rabbit squeezed out a flattering smile and nodded excitedly at Philip. “Don’t worry. I’ll lie to anyone but you. I’ve decided to see you as my master and follow you from now on.” Rabbit was disgusted by Black Rabbit’s flattering look. “We’ll arrive soon. Although that woman is a bit scary, she’s nothing compared to you.” Meanwhile, the stone woman arrived at the elves’ location. Since the forest belonged to them, and coupled with the natural characteristics of a stone, she was very fast and arrived at the elves' territory before Philip and the others. The stone woman knelt at the door and stared ahead in a panic. “Are the elves around? Please come out. I need to speak to you,” the stone woman shouted at the door anxiously. An elf walked out unhappily with a weapon in hand. “Why are you making a fuss here? Do you want to die?” The elves were very arrogant and would never allow such an ugly thing to make a fuss at their door. It was not only impolite but also affect
“I know how you managed to survive, but I’m not interested in it. Don’t worry, we’re not one of those people. I won’t do anything to you.” When the stone woman collected the stones, Philip realized that the stones were connected to the woman's body. The stones felt different from ordinary stones because they had been carefully nurtured by the woman, which was quite amazing. “Leave now. Stay no longer. I’m afraid to see humans now.” The stone woman trembled and took several steps back. She entered a cave and refused to show herself again. The stone woman had done no actual harm to them, and she was truly afraid of them. Philip waved his hand and led everyone away without further ado. He was not interested in that ugly woman. Black Rabbit hugged Philip's thigh in fear along the way, feeling extremely nervous. He had thought that Philip and his people were warriors of a certain race, but they turned out to be humans. After joining the humans, he had no way of backing out. He hat
Trapping her opponent with stones was the stone woman’s strongest killing move. Once this method failed, it proved that the opponent was strong—at least not someone she could deal with. At this point, she had no choice but to surrender. However, she had said so many harsh words earlier that she felt too embarrassed to back down now. “Why are you so strong?” Philip and the others did not hide their identities or disguise their appearances with fake ears and tails. The stone woman looked at them in puzzlement. “You don’t have any clear racial distinction, and I don’t sense any racial power in you. Are you humans?” the woman yelled in horror, shocked to see humans roaming freely in the world of the gods. Philip was puzzled, wondering how she came to that conclusion. He thought they looked pretty good. She could hardly determine that they were humans simply because they had no ears or tails. Seeing Philip's confusion, the stone woman knew her guess was right. These people in fr
“Are you looking for the elves? If so, you came to the wrong place. You might've had the chance to see the elves if you had taken a detour at the front, but now that you’re in my territory, you have no chance of getting out alive no matter how strong you are.” Philip nodded at her explanation. “In other words, you’re nothing but a watchdog raised by the elves,” Philip said with a smile. The woman was furious by that remark. “Damn it, go to hell!” The woman waved her hand at the stones on the side, and the stones moved. Everyone watched her actions curiously. “Did you think I managed to live to this day by relying solely on my domain? Hehe, you’re greatly mistaken. I have exactly what it takes to deal with you!” The stones attacked Philip. They were not ordinary stones but humanoid creatures made of stones! They were very tall and seemed determined to crush Philip with sheer size. His exotic fire did not affect them. They were not ordinary stones, and stone was not afraid
The woman was clearly startled by Philip’s remarks. “That’s none of your business!” Before she could say anything else, there was a loud crack, and the domain that the woman was so proud of suddenly shattered. Everyone’s vision was restored to normal, and they saw an ugly woman in front of them. The woman stood in front of them, spitting blood as she glared at Philip with anger and disbelief. “How did you break my domain? That’s impossible! Someone of your level is no match for me!” Philip sneered at the woman’s confidence, “If you had other underhanded tricks, maybe I’d be no match for you, but your level is nothing worth mentioning." Although her domain was powerful for normal people, it was nothing to him. Philip had awakened his own domain ages ago, so he had done some research on this topic. In reality, he did not destroy the other party's domain with his strength but simply shrouded his people in his domain, which he had full control over. After everyone entered h
“No way! Then who held my hand just now? I felt a woman holding my hand. It couldn't be Katie, so who else could it be but you?” Everyone complained, and Philip felt something was wrong. “I didn’t!” Katie quickly clarified. Hearing everyone bickering over it, Philip said, “To be honest, I felt someone holding my hand too. If it’s not one of us, there must be other people in the dark. We need to watch out and don’t let them get their way!” Everyone scowled, surprised by Philip’s remark. At this time, Black Rabbit tentatively grabbed Philip’s pants. “I told you to hurry, but you guys refused to listen. There’s a strange woman who has been living here for a long time! She’s a force to be reckoned with. If possible, we should grope through the dark and leave this place quickly. Don't stay here any longer. It’ll be bad if we lose our lives here!” Black Rabbit said nervously. He had never been here but he had heard the legend of this woman. It was rumored that the woman would c
Black Rabbit had led Rabbit’s brother to join the wraiths. Although he regretted it, he felt proud to have groomed such a loyal subordinate. “Everyone, you need to give it your all. We have no time to lose.” Seeing the sky getting darker, Black Rabbit seemed worried. Everyone felt annoyed by Black Rabbit’s order. “You dare to order us around when your strength has been taken away?” Aslan complained about the arrogant guy. Black Rabbit looked at Philip nervously without a word. He knew that Philip was the final decision-maker. The others were Philip's subordinates. Philip did not notice anything strange. Black Rabbit was up to something. Philip did not think he would give them a warning for no reason. While everyone traveled as fast as they could, the whole forest went dark. Everyone frowned at this sudden change. They were traveling under the scorching sun one second ago, but their vision went dark the next second. Something was clearly wrong. “Philip, I can’t see y
