Several people were already standing in the ward. Charles and Martha looked anxious and distressed. Especially Martha, she kept pointing at Anne and Lydia while cursing. Wynn sat on the hospital bed and kept persuading her mother, “Mom, it has nothing to do with them.” Philip walked in, took a look around, and grabbed Martha's hand that was about to land a slap on Lydia’s face. He said sternly, “If you dare to do it, I'll have you end up lying on the hospital bed again!” Martha turned to look at Philip and was startled as though she had seen a ghost. She shouted, “When did you arrive?” After saying that, Philip shook off Martha’s hand, causing the latter’s face to grimace in pain. Her hand had not fully recovered yet. With this aggressive shove from Philip, it was almost broken again! Following that, Philip said coldly, “Go out. Don’t disturb Wynn’s rest.” Martha still wanted to curse and swear but was held back by Charles. Lydia Jensen and Anne Foster stood in front of
Philip stayed with Wynn in the hospital until the evening. After completing various tests, Wynn was discharged from the hospital and was ready to return to the hotel. There was nothing serious about her condition but the people around her were too nervous. After all, Wynn was about to give birth. Philip personally drove the car and did not allow Heath and his men to follow them. After all, Wynn was not aware of his power in Uppercreek. There were certain things he could not tell her just yet. After the matter involving Beacon and Martin Johnston was resolved and he took Wynn back to Arcadia Island, the time would be almost ripe. The car turned into a remote lane and they were almost less than two blocks away from the hotel. Suddenly, three vans flanked from the front and back, blocking Philip’s car. Philip was shocked and slammed on the brakes! At the same time, he reached out to grab hold of Wynn, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. He almost got thrown out! Ins
“You two, hurry up and get down! Or else, we’ll smash the car!” “Get down now!” “How dare you disobey Chad’s orders? Do you know who Chad works for?” Wynn’s delicate face was pale as she nervously grabbed Philip's hand and said, “What should we do? Let’s call the police!” Philip looked around and said, “Don’t be hasty. If we call the police, I’m afraid it’ll only anger them. If they smash the car, you’ll get hurt.” “What should we do then?” Wynn was so anxious she almost burst into tears. Philip looked at Wynn tenderly and said, “Wynnie, do you trust me?” “W-What do you want to do?” Wynn looked at Philip with uncertainty. Although she did not know what Philip was about to do, her heart still shook when she saw Philip’s sincere and gentle eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, “I trust you. What are you going to do?” Philip smiled, took out his phone, and quickly found a number. He said, “Call this person and say that Philip Clarke has run into some trouble. Then, close y
With that said, Chad raised the long dagger in his hand and stabbed Philip’s arm viciously while shouting, “Let me take one arm first!” They had thought that Philip would crouch on the ground in fear, or simply pass out in fear. To their surprise, Philip did not even dodge. Instead, he smiled oddly at Chad at this critical moment. Chad’s heart jolted! Those were not eyes that belonged to a sheep. Cold, cunning, and contempt for everything… This was clearly a wolf that ate people without spitting out bones! He must be taken down quickly, otherwise… As the thought flashed across his mind, Chad’s blade took a turn and aimed for Philip’s chest instead! Years of instinct honed by living on the edge of the knife told Chad that if the person in front of him was not killed in time, he would be in big trouble! However, it was already too late. Before Chad’s blade could touch him, Philip had already dodged the attack and retaliated with a heavy punch on Chad’s body! Chad co
F*ck, how could this kid be so aggressive? His skills were too awesome! All of them were thugs who made a living by fighting, but nearly 20 of them could not handle one Philip Clarke. At this time, a punk quietly snuck behind Philip and raised the steel pipe high to smash into the back of Philip's head. To his surprise, Philip seemed to have eyes on his back. He unhurriedly dodged his head to the side and lifted his leg, kicking the punk’s crotch. Instantly, the punk almost fainted from unbearable pain! Crack! Everyone present had a sympathetic expression on their face. All of them knew this was the sound of shattered balls. The punk who was kicked fell to the ground with a face full of pain while covering his crotch with his hands. His body was hunched like a shrimp, and he could not help rolling back and forth. After all, no man could bear this kind of pain. In the car, Wynn closed her eyes very obediently and also covered her ears with her hands. However, she c
Master Eight was startled. Why did this voice sound so familiar? He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with his hair combed back jogging over while glaring at him coldly. It was one of the three lords of Uppercreek, Victor Bell! Master Eight immediately began sweating and lost all his arrogance from before! Although he was known as one of the four underground kings of Uppercreek, he knew full well that he and Victor were not on the same level at all. Master Eight was simply a boss on the streets and made a living through gang activities without much of a background. He just relied on his seniority and a large number of underlings. As for Victor Bell, he had a huge background and owned countless businesses in Uppercreek. His wealth and power made him reign at the top of Uppercreek’s underground forces. In front of Victor, Master Eight was no more than a minion. “M-Master Bell, what brings you here?” Master Eight was a little flustered, wondering if the boss behi
Before Victor finished speaking, Philip quickly grabbed Victor and pointed behind him. Since just now, the sounds of fighting had ceased. Wynn had already rolled down the car window slightly, peeking out to check the situation. Victor quickly changed his tone when he noticed that. “Oh, he’s a relative of Hoyt Luther, the director of the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce! How dare you stop his car! Are you tired of living?” Hearing that, Master Eight was shocked. Master Eight was already in his 50s and had always held an average position among the underground forces in Uppercreek. In terms of seniority, he was considered a veteran with many underlings. However, in terms of power, he was far beneath Victor. The biggest reason was that he did not have a background in business. Now, this person he had surrounded was a relative of the director of the chamber of commerce, Hoyt Luther! No wonder Victor thought so highly of him! If Master Eight knew that Philip was in fact the
The elegant woman sitting on the sofa smiled as she looked at Wynn and nodded. Then, she turned her gaze to Philip and said with a smile, “Phil, don’t you want to introduce your fourth mother?” Only then did Philip smile and help Wynn sit down. He said, “Wynnie, this is my fourth mother.” Fourth mother? Wynn was startled as her eyes doubtfully fell on Philip as she asked, “Father-in-law’s fourth love—” Philip quickly cut her off and made eyes at her. The graceful woman chuckled and said, “It’s okay, Phil. What Wynnie said is true.” Wynn realized her slip of the tongue and quickly laughed to cover her embarrassment while saying, “Sorry, Fourth Mother.” The woman smiled and took a delicate small gift box from the bodyguard behind her with her jade-like hands. She handed it to Wynn with a smile and said, “It’s our first meeting and I don’t know what you like, so I just prepared a random gift for you. I hope you don’t mind.” She laughed and joked, the smile on her face look
“It’s your honor that our family has taken a fancy to you. Stop resisting. Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? You must be trying to gain more benefits. As long as you agree to this marriage, I promise that you’ll lead a good life, much better than what you have now!” Lazlo looked at Celeste condescendingly, seeing her as a gold digger. “You’re sick.” Celeste was dumbfounded. Celeste pulled Philip and wanted to leave, but Lazlo had no intention of letting them go. He had finally found a beautiful woman to solve the problem for him. How could he let her go? He had looked around earlier but had not seen anyone as beautiful as Celeste. It would be a privilege to bring a beautiful woman like Celeste out. If Celeste was willing to cooperate, he could hold his head high in front of many people. Thinking of this, he summoned the family's guards. “Hurry up and capture them. Even if you refuse, you have to do it!” Lazlo laughed at this point. “Young lady, you'd better li
Philip winked at Ronan, signaling him to wait while he went in with Celeste to see what was going on. “In that case, my brother and I will see what’s going on,” Celeste said with a sigh. She just wanted to watch the fun. Why was she involved all of a sudden? Philip and Celeste walked in, and Lazlo was surprised to see someone else. However, a look of realization crossed his face after his servant introduced Philip’s identity. “Yes, I was too hasty about this. We should discuss this matter with the family.” He quickly invited everyone inside. After taking a closer look at Celeste's appearance, he nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, this woman was very beautiful and perfect from every angle. She was the best choice for his son. To be frank, even Lazlo was attracted to her. “My son is getting married today, but his bride is very ugly, so I want to use you in place of the bride. After this, you can become my son's concubine,” Lazlo said condescendingly as if Celeste should
At this moment, Celeste looked no different from normal people, and her face was more stunning, capturing everyone’s attention with one glance. Lazlo was excited to see her and knew that she was the woman he had been looking for. Indeed, the bride was very ugly and had a strange appearance. He would never have agreed to the marriage if the woman had not saved his son's life. His son had been seriously ill and bedridden for a long time, almost on the verge of dying. To save his son, he promised that anyone who could save his son could make a request. This woman saved his son and requested to marry into the Cohen family. Although reluctant, big families attached great importance to promises. If they went against their conscience and broke the promise, it would greatly impact their subsequent practice. Hence, Lazlo had no choice but to agree to their marriage. However, to prevent people from talking behind their backs, he appointed some dedicated maids to take care of the ugly
Ronan grabbed the others in fright so that they could stay together. Ronan was a strong guy, after all. With his protection, the others would not be separated by the crowd. Philip looked at this scene and asked the onlookers curiously, “What’s going on? What’s the occasion? Is it a celebration?” Philip had a smile on his face. He thought the atmosphere was quite interesting as if someone was having a celebration. “Don’t you know? It’s the wedding day of the young heir of the Cohen family. I heard that they’ll be serving free spiritual beast meat during the feast. Whether it’s true or not, we want to join the fun. It’s great if the news is true.” “Young man, you must be a visitor from out of town. You’re in luck!” Everyone smiled and walked along excitedly, hoping to spread happiness. Since it was a happy occasion, Philip took the others to join in the fun. As expected, it was very crowded, and everyone sat happily while waiting for the feast to begin. They looked at a lux
Arachne glared at the address Philip left behind. “Since he wants to meet the person behind the scenes, let him! That person is our king!” They worshipped their so-called savior very much. Sadie left without a word. She knew her limits. She would only die if she continued to fight Philip. Since she was no match for Philip, she had to find a way to become stronger. Philip would be doomed once she was strong enough. She was angry when she thought about being humiliated by Philip today. Philip did not care about them at all. He just wanted to see the person behind the scenes. Someone who could create that amazing gene seal had to be an extraordinary person. He would have to tread carefully.… Meanwhile, Raja was in trouble. Raja had left very hastily as his territory was under attack. The other party probably wanted to take his territory for themselves. The other party was a large and powerful race with vicious means. They somehow received news about his departure, so the
Although their strength had improved significantly, their opponent was Ronan, a talented expert. He was not someone they could mess with. These people were easily crushed. Before they could call for help, they were sent crashing into the walls and unable to move. Ronan was surprised at his strength. Philip had given him a lot of wine recently, which had greatly improved his strength. Combined with his innate talents, Ronan was almost invincible by now. Philip looked at him with satisfaction, pleased with his achievements. “Not bad. You did very well, but some of your moves are still quite sloppy. I'll give you a set of techniques later. Once you master it, you can crush these people easily with your bare hands,” Philip commented like a judge. Arachne and the others were knocked to the ground, horrified at Ronan’s strength. Sadie was very indignant about her defeat. They had resorted to some evil methods to improve their strength. How did they end up so miserably? “It lo
“Are you one of my kind?” The man was very excited to see one of his kind. Judging from the situation, the other party probably saved him. “Yes. I predicted that you’d appear at this place, so I asked someone to rescue you. You’re quite unlucky,” Celeste said awkwardly, feeling sorry for his bad luck. It was tragic to think that such a noble and mysterious race ended up as a slave. “They don't know my identity. They just think I look good. Thanks to them, I’ve done quite well with this face.” He laughed at himself at this point. Ronan felt sorry for the man at the sight of his pitiful state. He had been in the same plight back then—without any status and rejected wherever he went. He understood this misery better than anyone else. After getting to know each other, Philip took them away through the side door. The gentle and refined man was Darius. Philip gave him some pills to heal him so that he would not look so haggard. When they walked out, they bumped into Arachne
“We accept the deal. I declare that the man is yours!” The man was a slave who belonged to the organizers, so these auctioneers could easily decide his fate. At this time, a young man stepped forward and said something to the host, interrupting the auction briefly. “Excuse me, but this man has been taken.” They took the man away quickly before anyone could react. The crowd was confused, wondering what was going on. “What’s the meaning of this? The auction isn’t over yet! Did someone offer something that can decide the outcome?” “I don't believe anyone can come up with such a good thing. Besides, although the man looks pretty good, this is over the top!” Everyone thought it was too much for someone to spend so much money on an ordinary man. Ronan watched in silence. He knew that the bottle of wine was nothing to Philip, but to outsiders, Philip was simply spending a fortune to get a slave. He sighed inwardly. It seemed that a handsome face was very important. The org
“What a bunch of perverts,” Philip cursed unhappily at the sight of their gleaming eyes. He had to get this guy at all costs. The bidding started, and everyone sent the price soaring. At this time, Philip decided not to compete with money. There was no point in bidding with money. He decided to offer something for the other party's ownership. He contacted the organizer of the auction and gave him a bottle of wine. “I have some wine that can improve your strength after taking it. I can let you have a taste for free so that you can verify my claims.” Philip then handed over the wine in his hand. The auctioneers looked at Philip doubtfully, surprised by Philip’s sudden gesture. “I know that the neighboring city is selling some wine that can improve one’s strength, but it’s very hard to get!” As auctioneers, they were very well-informed. Moreover, the Wagner family had spread the news a long time ago. Their intention was to promote their wine, but they had to include Philip t
