The guards of Cirrus Villa had surrounded Philip and 17 at this moment, their faces looking grim. It seemed that if Philip were to make any aggressive movements, they would swarm over and take him down! “Young Master Clarke, this is Cirrus Villa, not Arcadia Island. Here, only Madam has the final say.” At this time, the captain of the guards walked out from behind the crowd while dressed in a black suit. He had a burly figure, a tough face, and tanned skin. Philip raised his eyebrows and looked over. The corners of his mouth formed a small smile as he said, “If I want to go in, are you going to stop me?” The captain’s face darkened and he replied, “Madam has given an order that she won’t be meeting any guests today no matter who shows up. I hope you won’t give us a hard time, Young Master Clarke.” “Is that so? From what you’re saying, are you going to make a move against me?” Philip’s face darkened as he took a step forward and stood directly in front of that captain. Spa
Bam! As a result, Philip’s kick was faster than the opponent's and landed squarely on the captain’s stomach. The latter flew back, knocked over several people behind him, and fell heavily to the ground! “I’m not killing you because you’re doing your duty! Now, I'm warning you once more, get out of my way!” Philip was furious. Cold intent and sparks were bursting out of his eyes! He wanted to go in and ask Giada what she intended to do. Was she involved in Martin Johnston’s incident? If so, Philip would definitely not let her go! The captain who fell to the ground stood up with the help of his men, wiped the blood that spilled from the corner of his mouth, and shouted sullenly, “Young Master Clarke, you can't get through today! Take him down!” At that furious shout, dozens of heavily armed guards from all around rushed toward Philip. However, Philip just flicked a glance around while 17, who was next to him, suddenly struck out with vicious movements and at lightning s
There was no decorative playacting, they were all ruthless deadly moves! Just a little inattention and one would be killed! In just half a minute, 17 and Vivian had already exchanged a dozen blows! Bam! Suddenly, 17 kicked Vivian squarely in the chest, causing the latter to take several steps back! Philip could not help but feel a pain in his chest when he watched this. Such delicate-looking women, how could they be so brutal in a fight? He thought it would last for a while, but the next second, the winner was already determined! The butterfly blades in 17’s hands were pressed directly on Vivian’s fair and delicate neck. She said proudly, “Hmph, the young master said that your skills aren’t bad, but I think they're just so-so.” “You!” Vivian’s eyes widened in anger as she clenched her fists, seemingly unconvinced. Right then, Philip calmly walked over and looked at Vivian, saying, “Miss Vivian, can you take me to see Giada now?” Vivian snorted furiously, turned ar
Thump, thump, thump! In an instant, dozens of heavily armed combatants rushed out of the hall. They were all ready to fight and were staring at Philip intently. It was just that the weapons in their hands were pointed downward. The corners of Philip's eyes froze. He stared at Vivian before glancing around, laughing as he said, “Why? Do you want to make a move against me first?” Giada put the teacup down, keeping her eyes on 17 who was next to Philip. The little girl seemed unconcerned with what was happening in front of her. It was as though in her eyes, these people were just toys. “That’s enough. Back down. Why is it so difficult for me to talk to my son?” Giada said at this moment. With a smile blooming in her eyes, she looked at Philip tenderly and lovingly, saying, “Philip, you can be considered my half-son. Why can’t we sit down and talk?” Hearing that, Philip’s face went cold as he shouted, “I only have one mother. You’re unworthy!” Giada nodded and said with
Philip left Cirrus Villa and headed back to First Palace. It was getting late, and Riverdale was not peaceful tonight. Theo had arranged for people to monitor all of Riverdale. Theo had arranged for people to keep a close watch on those directors who were involved in the incident with Beacon this time, in case they would be of use to Philip. After Philip returned to First Palace, Theo hurried over and said, “Mr. Clarke, Martin and Bernard have privately contacted several members of Beacon’s board of directors for a secret private meeting in the Hyatt Hotel. Do you want to go over and take a look?” Philip frowned and asked, “A secret meeting? Have you found out who’s attending?” Theo quickly and respectfully handed the information of the people he had looked into to Philip and said, “It’s all here. These are all the investors who invested in Beacon at the beginning. They’re also members of the company's board of directors. However, after investigating their financial transacti
Hiss! The atmosphere in the small conference room became extremely somber all of a sudden. “Why is he back all of a sudden? Did you detain him?” Mr. Jenkins from earlier asked nervously at this moment. Another person also followed and asked, “He’d better not ruin our plan at this juncture or all our efforts will be wasted.” “What exactly is the situation, Mr. Johnston? Quickly tell us.” Martin nodded and said, “According to our plan, our people would detain him and Wynn as long as they appeared. But now there are some problems. Philip is not as simple as we thought. Even Webster Shaw has been arrested because of him. Moreover, according to the information I received, Theo Zander is also working for Philip—most likely for Wynn. He came back this time and brought a lot of people with him. Theo also arrived in Riverdale not long ago and helped Philip resolve the crisis. Hence, our operation has failed this time.” After Martin finished speaking, the entire conference room fell
This furious roar shook the entire room until it was buzzing! Everyone followed the sound and saw Philip with his hands in his trouser pockets, followed by Theo who respectfully stood at his side. They were leading a dozen thugs in black suits who were barging in! At this moment, everyone panicked! Martin’s face was dark as he stared at Philip who was approaching him. He said solemnly, “Who let you in? I’ve reserved this room. Get out of here!” Martin was furious. This Philip Clarke was really lawless! He even barged into his private room! Thinking about what Philip had done to him earlier, Martin was very upset. If he did not personally teach this arrogant junior a lesson, what qualifications did he have to continue to stay in Riverdale? “Philip, this conference room has been reserved by my second brother. Get out of here immediately!” Bernard Johnston, who was on the side, also stood up at this moment and angrily pointed at Philip's nose while cursing. However...
Philip smiled and turned to Martin, who was standing with his hands behind his back. He said, “Martin, why aren’t you saying anything?” Martin’s face was cold as he waved his hand and shouted, “I have nothing to say. Your words are all nonsense! I’m just talking to my friends. Besides, I’ll resign from Beacon tomorrow. What does it matter to you what I do?” “That’s right, what does it matter to you what Martin does? Are you trying to force him or something?” Bernard’s face was cold as he echoed. Philip nodded and looked at Martin before saying, “Actually, whatever you do is meaningless to me. Because all of you are unqualified, even if you join forces.” “Insolence! Philip, you simply don’t put us in your eyes!” “You’re just relying on your wife to get to the top position and got to know some people through her. Do you really think you’re that great?” “Hehe, how dare a kept husband spout such big words?” For a while, several board members expressed their dissatisfaction on
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
