Philip looked at the woman in front of him coldly. This was the woman he had wronged seven years ago. He said, “Chloe, don’t involve other people in our business. Don’t cause any trouble for my family.”Slap!Chloe got up and slapped Philip across the face. Then, she glared at him and said, “What happened between you and me will not end so easily. Don’t forget how you left me without a word and how much you’ve hurt me!”Chloe’s heart pounded when she saw Philip. After all, they had not seen each other for seven years.She had even looked forward to this.However, Philip’s eyes and expression just now betrayed how he truly felt.Chloe was a woman, so she knew how Philip was feeling. He only cared about that woman named Wynn.“Chloe, what happened seven years ago was my fault. It’s fine if you want to punish me. However, you can’t do anything to Wynn. This is my warning for you,” Philip said. If Chloe really touched Wynn, Philip would fight back without a second thought.“Warni
When he heard Wynn’s voice, Philip’s face fell. He stared at Chloe intensely.Chloe looked at Philip with a fake smile and said, “Hello, Wynn. I’m Chloe.”There was silence on the other end of the phone.“How can I help you?” Wynn was a woman with a temper. It was obvious that she was mad from her cold tone.Chloe did not answer immediately. She looked at Philip and said softly, “If Wynn knows who you are, how will she react? Have you ever thought about it?”Philip clenched his fists, his eyes heated. His low voice sounded like the growl of a beast. He said, “Chloe Sommerset, you’re playing with fire.”Philip was nervous, but at the same time, he was furious.He did not like to be threatened!“Philip, do you not understand me? The more exciting a game is, the more I’ll like it.” Chloe placed her hand under her chin and looked at him provocatively.Then, she said into the phone, “Wynn, what kind of man do you think Philip is?”What kind of man Philip was?Wynn was taken aback
“Mom, I didn’t. Maybe Wynn’s just exhausted.” Philip explained.However, Martha did not believe him. She looked at him with the corner of her eyes and her face was as cold as stagnant water. She pointed at Philip’s nose and started shouting, “Do you think I won’t understand the daughter I gave birth to? Philip, don’t say that I never warned you. A man like you is not a match for my daughter at all! If you’re smart, you should divorce Wynn as soon as possible. Stop hindering Wynn from marrying into a rich family!”Philip was helpless when he was faced with Martha’s arrogance and bossiness.Martha was not the only one who was annoyed. Philip was feeling frustrated as well. After being accused by Martha, Philip’s tone became slightly awful.“Alright, I got it. Can you stop nagging? This is between me and Wynn. We will take care of this,” Philip replied coldly. There was no warmth in his eyes. Martha was shocked by that ominous glint in his eyes.Martha was enraged. How dare he talk t
Philip Clarke?Martha frowned. She looked annoyed. Whenever she heard Philip’s name, she would feel as if her entire body was covered in thorns. However, she hid that feeling in a blink of an eye.Miss Sommerset was the one who sent over all these gifts.There was precious jewelry, a car, and also cash.It was obvious that Miss Sommerset was from an affluent family.“Um, our Philip is friends with Miss Sommerset?” Martha smiled.That man replied politely, “I don’t know the details. I’m just here to deliver the gifts.”After he said that, the man left with his men. He came just as quickly as he left.Martha finally came back to her senses.She was rich!“Charlie, Wynn, we’re going to be rich! These… These things are worth so much money! We also have two million bucks!”Martha was so excited that her bottom did not hurt anymore. She stared at those gifts and the two boxes of cash. She wanted so badly to fall asleep while holding them.Charles was excited, of course. Especiall
Wynn was crying from frustration. She stomped her feet and went back to her bedroom. Then, she slammed the door.Martha was stunned, but she shook her head while feeling pleased with herself. Then, she looked at Charles as if she was showing off. She stood up with a devilish grin on her face. She happily brought everything back to her room.After that, Martha remembered that there was something off about Philip.Miss Sommerset gave them so many expensive gifts for no reason. Plus, judging from Wynn’s reaction, they must be hiding something from her.“Charlie, what do you think is wrong with Philip? Why did Miss Sommerset send so many expensive things to us?” Martha asked.She was constantly thinking about Miss Sommerset.Why would a normal friend send them so many expensive things?It seemed that Philip and Miss Sommerset’s relationship was not that ordinary.Charles was studying his calligraphies. He answered, “You should ask Wynn. She might know.”Martha pressed her lips tog
Philip’s fiancée?Wynn could feel her heart skip a beat. Her fair hands clenched together in fists as she grabbed her dress. She looked at Chloe in disbelief. Then, she lowered her eyes and her lips started to tremble.What was going on?She was Philip’s fiancée?Why did Philip not tell her about this?At this moment, Wynn was feeling all kinds of emotions in her heart. It was difficult for her to calm herself down. She was so nervous that she took a big gulp of her coffee to control her emotions.Chloe smirked coldly. She was feeling pleased with herself and it was made obvious by the smirk on her face. She continued to say, “Philip and I are childhood sweethearts. We've known each other since we were young. Seven years ago, he left without a word at our engagement party. I didn’t expect him to be married and have a daughter seven years later,” Chloe said slowly. Each and every word she said made Wynn feel like a sinner. She had known Philip from a long time ago. They were als
Wynn walked down from the top floor lifelessly and miserably. She could not stop the tears that were rolling down her cheeks.Why? Why did Philip hide this from her?She felt hurt and betrayal that she had never felt before.Wynn started to question herself. Was she just one of Philip’s toys?She felt that Chloe was too domineering. She was not her opponent at all.What should she do? How should she face this?Wynn felt exhausted. She started walking with no destination in mind.At this time, a group of people who looked like thugs began following behind her.They had received the signal and been waiting on the first floor for a very long time. They looked at each other while rubbing their fists before heading over to Wynn quickly.“Hey pretty lady, you’re looking hot. Your skin is so fair and your legs are so slender. Daddy likes women like you. Why isn’t there a man with you? Do you want to have a drink with me and the boys?”“Why is a pretty lady like you crying? Who bulli
Philip held Wynn in his arms. His eerie eyes reflected a coldness that would wreak havoc.He would be going on a rampage today.He would make these people pay the most horrible price they could ever think of!“Wynn, wait for me. Let me take care of this and we’ll talk when we go back, okay?” The kindness in Philip’s eyes caressed Wynn’s face gently.“Alright,” said Wynn. She nodded, her eyes filled with trust for Philip.This man was her husband. He was her guardian for the rest of her life.Why would she not believe him?Should she waver just because of what Chloe said?Wynn did not want to know who Philip was nor what the Clarkes did for a living.As long as Philip stayed with her, everything would be fine.Even if Philip did not want to tell her, she would not force him.He must have his own difficulties.She was willing to wait for the day when Philip would willingly open up to her.“Doug? Doug, are you okay?” The thugs got up and surrounded Doug. Then, they helped him
Most people would be freaked out at the sight of his face. He took out a photo from his pocket and held it in his hand angrily. “Argent, you've enjoyed your life long enough. It’s time to get what you deserve.” The mysterious man smiled cruelly with obvious hatred for Argent. This whole incident had nothing to do with Philip at all. Philip was simply a pitiful pawn in these people’s hands. Philip never dreamed that someone would target him for no reason. He just wanted to improve his strength. He could not care less about what other people thought of him.… Time passed quickly. The next day, Philip did not expect these people to come after him so soon. He just wanted to have a good rest and find a suitable place to settle down, but these people were as annoying as pesky flies. “Philip, get out here at once. I want to see how strong you are. How dare you show off in front of me?” Argent yelled at Philip’s door in disdain. His right hand was bandaged tightly as if he was still
The mysterious man forced himself to contain his anger and smile at Argent. Argent knew that he had to stop asking for more. At this point, what was the most important? “I can give you Philip’s address, and we can deal with him tomorrow morning. If you teach him a good lesson, I’m sure he’ll listen to you,” Argent said smugly. His plan was simple. He wanted to use the other party to deal with Philip. Philip had messed with him earlier and crippled his right hand. He would have died if he had not stopped the bleeding in time. Therefore, the grudge between him and Philip was so deep that he could not wait to rip Philip into pieces. Argent and the mysterious man who refused to reveal his name quickly came up with a plan. “In that case, I’ll see you again tomorrow morning. I hope you won't let me down.” After saying this, the mysterious man zoomed into the distance and soon disappeared. Seeing the other party’s hasty retreat, Argent was full of disdain. “Hehe, you think too hig
“Wow, you guys are so generous to send me such a precious gift this time. Tell me more about the deal you want to discuss with me. If it’s up to my expectations, I can consider it.” Argent's mood changed for the better. He smiled brightly and did not consider other possibilities. He seemed to have forgotten the conflict and resentment he had toward Philip. “We know that a young heroic man has appeared in Deadly Arena this time. We’re very interested in him and have decided to recruit him. I heard that you fought him before. I wonder if he's as powerful as I imagined.” The other party did not introduce himself but looked at Argent with a smile. Argent scowled. He thought that this matter was over, but this guy brought it up again. He was obviously trying to belittle him. “Hehe, let’s forget it. I don’t have much of an opinion about Philip. He’s just an average person, nothing worth mentioning.” Argent was afraid of exposing his shame, so he tried to tarnish Philip’s reputati
After confirming that he could leave safely, Argent ran away quickly, unwilling to stay a second longer. Philip was so terrifying that he wanted to keep his distance from him. Argent simply wanted to rob Philip of his treasures, but he was seriously injured instead. He could not accept it. Argent quickly ran back home. He had settled down with his family after such a long time. Given his strength, no one refused his requests. Argent’s family members simply wanted to follow someone strong, so they did not mind doing anything. In the meantime, an uninvited guest appeared at Argent’s home. He did not make an appointment with Argent in advance, so Argent did not know him. When Argent returned home in a mess, they bumped into each other. “I’m surprised to see the head of the family looking so miserable. I’m here at the right time.” The man stared at Argent mockingly as if he was enjoying the show. Argent was annoyed by his reaction, angry that an outsider had seen him in his most mi
Argent felt fear grip him. Philip’s earlier action was terrifying, as if he could grab his soul with a wave of his hand. Philip laughed at Argent’s hasty retreat, amused by his cowardice. “I just wanted to scare you. There's no need to dodge so quickly,” he said with a chuckle. Argent was furious by Philip’s shameless prank. Although he was angry, Argent had to give up his absurd plan when he thought of Philip's strength. Philip was not to be trifled with. He had to watch out. Before he could slip away and mess with Philip another day, Philip grabbed his right hand abruptly, leaving him no time to react. Argent’s right hand lost all sensation as if it had been crippled. He looked down at his right hand in a panic and was shocked to find that his right arm had vanished. “What the hell is going on? How could you do this to me?” He was shocked that Philip could break his defense so easily and cripple him. He was a force to be reckoned with, and not everyone could go against hi
Argent was nothing more than average, but he was so full of himself. Philip felt that he might be inferior to the other party in that aspect. “All the rewards are in my hands. If you really want them, you can try to defeat me and take them away. Otherwise, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to get them with your strength.” Philip smiled at him. Although this guy was quite strong, he was no match for Philip. “I entered the top 100 of the advanced list when I was at your age. You’re nothing to me. Stop showing off in front of me.” A trace of disdain flashed across Argent’s face. He was clearly looking down on Philip. Philip nodded. This old man was very full of himself. His strength was undeniable, but it was nothing compared to Philip’s. “I heard that you don’t belong to a guild. Don't you feel ashamed? It’s a pity that no one is willing to take you in.” Philip smiled brightly. He said this on purpose to snub Argent. Argent was furious to hear Philip mocking him for this. He
After hearing Philip’s remarks, the guy trembled in anger. His name was Argent, nicknamed Silver Snake. He first came into contact with a practice technique when he was a teenager. As he did not know anything, he simply practiced the technique on his own. Unexpectedly, there was a problem with this technique. His height remained what it was in his teens, but his appearance became old. At first, he thought that he would always look like a teenager, but his appearance gradually became old and terrifying. No matter where he went after that, people would treat him as an old man even though he was only in his early 40s. Thinking of this, he felt sorry for himself, and his hatred for Philip deepened. Not only did his appearance change, but his practice level also slowly dropped to rock bottom. His mind gradually became more and more twisted because of this. Then, he stumbled into a cave and received a heritage by chance. The heritage was evil, but it helped him improve his practice
Philip nodded at the other party’s grace. “Not bad, that young man is quite decent.” Even though the other party was a middle-aged man, Philip called him a young man. Philip knew that someone else would approach him very soon. He could use this opportunity to find out more about the force behind the other party. He quickly reserved the inn and wandered around the streets. He wanted to see how many people were following him. Everyone had their own agenda and was up to no good. Philip soon saw a sneaky old man who did not seem to pose any threat. The old man looked at Philip thoughtfully with a hint of ridicule, which gave Philip an unpleasant feeling. “You should know the purpose of my visit. Do I need to elaborate?” the old man cut to the chase. Philip shook his head helplessly at the old man’s arrogance. The old man in front of him was quite powerful or he would not have been so arrogant. He thought he could deal with Philip easily with his strength. “You’re obviousl
Philip was surprised to hear that. “So, my performance was so outstanding that they can't wait to get rid of me.” Philip glanced at Duncan. Since he was not here for his money, there was no problem. Besides, he did not seem like a bad guy. “I have a job to do. I have to fulfill my responsibilities and obligations, so I need to report the situation truthfully.” Duncan knew he could not deal with Philip, so he had to find another way to negotiate with him. “If you promise not to take part in another match, I can consider letting you go for the time being. That way, I can go back and report my findings too.” He did not mention his men whom Philip took down as if they were not important at all. “Of course, I can’t agree to that. This isn’t as simple as you think. The people behind Deadly Arena won’t let me off so easily. Don’t worry about that,” Philip said with a smile. Since he knew that Duncan was from Deadly Arena, there was nothing more to say. Philip knew that Lyle
