The investor behind Beacon Group? Martha was taken aback as she mumbled inwardly. ‘What does Philip mean by that?’ Was it possible that the investor behind Beacon Group had something to do with him? “What do you mean? If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t beat around the bush,” Martha said with a skeptical look in her eyes as she observed Philip. Philip chuckled and said, “I transferred all the funds of Milanelson Angel Investment Group to Beacon. Once Beacon suffers any major financial disruption, the funds will immediately be injected. If you wanted to look into me, why didn’t you get someone to investigate this? It’s such a pity. Maybe you could have found something.” Philip really had to take his hat off to Martha for going to such an extent. The reason she checked up on him was all because of money. When Martha heard Philip’s words, her heart thumped. He had transferred the funds of Milanelson Investment Group? It was all under Beacon’s name? Philip
Victor Bell stepped forward, glanced at the dozen or so hooligans in front of him grimly, and shouted, “Who sent you here? If you tell me, I’ll let you go!” Victor was angry. Those who dared to stop Philip’s car were simply looking for death! The man in the lead chuckled and said, “Oh, are you impersonating street punks by bringing so many henchmen with you? If you had asked around, you would’ve found out that this territory belongs to me, Marvin! “Also, who the hell are you? Is there someone like you in Riverdale? How come I’ve never seen you before?” The man continued mocking as he jabbed the baseball bat in his hand directly on Victor’s chest. His attitude was extremely pompous. Victor lowered his eyebrows and looked at the baseball bat on his chest. The corners of his mouth twitched as cold intent appeared on his face. When had Victor Bell, one of the three major underground forces in Uppercreek, ever been provoked like this? “Do it! Beat them up until they tell us
Bernard hurried back to First Palace, yelling as he entered the door, “Martin, something has happened!” Martin was drinking coffee and reading the newspaper at this time. Seeing Bernard rushing back in a fluster, his eyes were filled with displeasure as he asked, “Why are you panicking like this?” Martin had learned to maintain his composure by now so that he would suit his image as the chairman of Beacon Group. Seeing that flustered look on his third brother, he was naturally displeased. Even after getting rich, this younger brother of his still could not get rid of those bad habits. Bernard panted and said, “That, that Philip Clarke…” Upon hearing this, Martin was overjoyed. He abruptly stood up with a face full of excitement and said, “How did it go? Have you captured him? Let’s go! Take me there!” Bernard did not move. He waved his hand and said, “No, we didn’t catch him.” “You didn’t? What happened? Didn’t you hire many ruffians? Why couldn’t you even catch Philip
Victor anxiously got down from the car as well. He got their men to surround Philip and closely guard him. As soon as Philip got out of the car, his cold eyes swept over the entire area. As far as the eye could see, dozens of people were fiercely staring at him. “I don't want to cause trouble. Tell me where Martin Johnston and Bernard Johnston are,” Philip said loudly. Even in this situation, he did not show any fear. This display alone made the dozens of people across the street a little startled. In the crowd, someone shouted, “Who the f*ck do you think you are? You want to see Master Martin and Master Bernard? Dream on!” “Philip Clarke, I recognize you as the worthless son-in-law of the Johnston family. You won’t get away today. Tell your men to obediently withdraw and kneel on the ground!” “That's right! You can’t escape!” Facing the angry shouts and warnings from this group of people, Philip sneered. He said, “How much money did Martin Johnston give you to make you
“Whoever dares to touch Mr. Clarke will be messing with me, Theo Zander!” Theo Zander! The big shot of Riverdale! He was a prominent figure in this area!At this moment, his motorcade had stopped in front of Beacon Group’s building! A dozen black Mercedes-Benz cars were lined up in a row. The doors opened and dozens of thugs in black suits stepped down, completely surrounding this place! Theo also ran over briskly.Upon seeing Theo, the man who was arrogantly trying to teach Philip a lesson before turned grave and gloomy. He stood to one side. Who would have thought that Theo would return at this time! According to the information received, Theo should be holding a chamber of commerce over in Penhart. How could he have come back so soon? “Mr. Theo, this is Beacon’s internal affairs. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to interfere like this.” The man in the suit and leather shoes, whose name was Blake Poole, had a pale face at the moment. He spoke in a cold voice.
Douglas Poole, the fourth master of Riverdale. He was a character who had retreated to the background. Finally, he appeared again today! It was only because Martin Johnston of Beacon Group had offered a large sum that could help him regain control of Riverdale. This was the main reason Douglas was willing to step forward this time. As a person got older, their movements would also get slower. Douglas did not wish to continue living his life like this. Riverdale had been under Theo’s rule for many years and it was time for a change. Theo’s expression froze when he saw Douglas appearing with his people. His heart became heavy. Why did Douglas emerge all of a sudden? Could it be that all these things were connected? Immediately after, Theo turned to Douglas and said solemnly, “Fourth Master, what do you intend to do?” After seeing his son being beaten up, Douglas was naturally angry and said furiously, “Theo, don’t think that I don’t dare to do anything to you just bec
Everyone turned to look at where the voice came from and saw dozens of people approaching. The leader was an old man with a walking cane, looking to be about 60 or 70 years old. He was dressed in a white suit with a string of rosary in his hand. He was Webster Shaw, the chairman of Loyale Group. He was a former major underground force in Riverdale! In terms of seniority and influence, Webster was definitely above Theo! In Riverdale, many underground figures only got to their current positions because of Webster. Instantly, the entrance of Beacon Group became jam-packed with people. The people here served their own masters. Everyone dared not take the matter lightly.Webster’s pomp was grand when he showed up earlier. He leaned on the cane in his hand and looked at Theo coldly. Douglas quickly got up from the ground, ran to Webster, and shouted, “Uncle Webster, you’re finally here. Any later and I would’ve been killed by Theo! He doesn't even care about you now. You hav
Philip finally understood after Theo explained. Then, he turned around, looked at Webster blandly, and asked, “Are you Webster Shaw?” “How dare you?! Who told you to talk to Uncle Webster like that?! Apologize on your knees at once!” Standing behind Webster, Blake immediately pointed at Philip and chastised him. He could not wait to break Philip into tiny pieces! If not for Philip, Blake would not have been embarrassed in front of Webster. The worse thing was, he was obviously such a loser, so what right did he have to be so cocky? Webster looked sideways at Philip again and sneered, “Young man, it seems that you have some status. Otherwise, Theo wouldn’t be helping you like this.” Philip laughed and said, “In ten minutes, you can declare Loyale Group bankrupt.” As he said that, he had already sent a text message. What? A group of people was stunned! What was this kid talking about? He wanted Webster Shaw to declare Loyale Group bankrupt? What a ridiculous j
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
