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
“You… You brat! How dare you hit me! You’re digging your own grave!” Doug was looking at Philip with fear. He said viciously, “My brother is Michael Moseby! He’s the manager of this restaurant!”Thud!Philip kicked him again. This time, he kicked him on his stomach. The latter screamed and curled up in pain. His face turned extremely red.Half of Doug’s kidney was about to be destroyed from that kick.“I’m going to ask you once, who ordered you to do this?” Philip’s face was dark. He grabbed Doug’s hair and growled.Doug was stubborn. He laughed a few times with blood in his mouth. He said, “Hehe, no one ordered me. I just saw your hot wife and wanted to f*ck her, so what?”Smack!Philip swung his hand and slapped Doug once more. After that, Doug’s brain started buzzing.“Who ordered you?” Philip shouted again. There was a murderous glint in his eyes.Doug was as stubborn as a mule. He lifted his head and laughed lamentably. “Your wife is smoking hot. Her body is so sexy. I’m
Carlos thought Philip would do something to him, but Philip simply handed him something he took out of his pocket. “Try practicing this technique.” After Philip handed him the item, he stared at Carlos, waiting for the result. Carlos was relieved to hear it. He had thought Philip was going to do something to him, but it turned out that Philip simply wanted Carlos to try a technique out. Carlos smiled and shook his head. “We can’t practice other techniques different from our own unless someone can make improvements to our existing technique. Only then do we have the chance to learn something new. But do you know how difficult it is to improve a technique?” Carlos smiled helplessly. Their people had been trying to improve their technique forever. After all, the side effects of the technique were simply annoying, but it was easier said than done. Their predecessors had been studying it for years but to no avail. They had no choice but to give up. Now, only one elder was resp
“Since she’s one of your people, she can stay, but don’t try to do anything,” Philip said. Philip glanced at the holy maiden. Before he could say anything else, something appeared in his mind. It was the technique she practiced. Philip had no idea what happened. He had merely glanced at her when her technique appeared in his mind. Although it was weird, Philip did not think it was a bad thing. Instead, he was happy. He knew that it was a special ability. Thinking of this, Philip was in a good mood. He went back to his room after excusing himself. He wanted to study the technique carefully. It would be best if he could discover something. The holy maiden watched indignantly as Philip left. Jamie knew that Celeste’s biggest advantage was her looks. She was so beautiful that the holy maiden felt the pressure. “Stay here with peace of mind and treat it as your own home. No need for formalities,” Celeste said to them with a smile as if she were the mistress of the house. Jam
Philip waved his hand. That was not what he meant. At this time, Celeste walked out of her room. She had fallen in love with cooking and always immersed herself in the kitchen, figuring out different recipes. In the past, Celeste lived alone in the gloomy forest without freedom or friends. After meeting Philip, she became more vibrant. Celeste would feel a sense of achievement whenever Philip ate the food she cooked. Seeing her, Philip greeted Celeste and introduced the visitors to her. “I don’t need a maid. I already have someone to take care of the household chores. Thank you for your kindness,” Philip said with a smile. Celeste had been doing a good job, so Philip did not think he needed another woman to take care of him. The more women around, the more trouble there would be. The holy maiden froze in surprise at the sight of such a beautiful woman around Philip. Although she was not ugly, she had to live with this ugly appearance until her marriage because of that nas
“That’s enough. Stop talking about me. You might as well think about how to deal with Hogster and the others. The Hexa Guild will definitely come after you.” Philip greeted Jamie calmly without taking the incident seriously at all. Seeing his reaction, Jamie thought that Philip was more and more unfathomable. The Hexa Guild was making a big fuss over this case. Many guilds had accepted the Hexa Guild’s gifts and now stood in opposition to the Celestial Palace. Although this matter had nothing to do with those guilds at all, they accepted the Hexa Guild's gifts in exchange for hyping the news up. It would be best if the two guilds fought. Maybe they could take advantage of the situation in the process! The other major guilds were waiting to watch the excitement too. They hoped that the Celestial Palace would be affected by this incident and it would maybe result in them losing the guild competition. Philip was also quite interested in the guild competition but was more curious
“Vanna mentioned that you enjoy drinking, so I prepared some fine wine for you.” Ronan said it so smoothly that he must have practiced it. Jamie was surprised to see Ronan taking a bottle of wine from his pocket, not at the wine itself. It proved that Ronan had a storage space. Thinking of this, Jamie felt better. Since Ronan had a storage space, he had to have a strong backing. Carlos had determined from various aspects that Ronan was a man with good character. In that case, Jamie had nothing more to worry about, and he could feel at ease again. “We’re about to hold a competition between the guilds. You can join us if you’re interested. Since you’re already part of us, you should do your best. If you can win the competition, I’ll consider officially acknowledging your identity.” Jamie seemed like a gentle and easygoing person. Ronan was excited by his words. He never dreamed that he would have the opportunity to be acknowledged. Ronan thought that he was unworthy of Vann
Jamie was startled. He never thought that someone would speak to him in this manner. With his high and mighty status, everyone spoke to him politely except Carlos. He was not used to someone treating him so frivolously. “I'm here to look for someone,” Jamie said with a smile. The rabbit meant no harm, so Jamie did not have to act like a domineering guild leader. Rabbit stepped aside. “Of course, I know you’re here to look for someone. There’s no other reason to be here otherwise. It's just a matter of whether you can see them.” Rabbit hopped away. He just wanted to see if it was a good or bad guy. After all, troublemakers would be taught a good lesson. Carlos walked out calmly with a teacup. He had fallen for the taste of tea. Philip’s tea was simply perfect. He would feel a fluctuation in his strength after drinking it. He was ecstatic at the discovery and was unwilling to return to the guild now. Taking a sip, he realized that someone familiar was standing at the door and
“I’m surprised that the Celestial Palace would be so shameless. Since they refuse to do things my way, they shouldn't blame me for doing this.” Alain decided to make good use of this incident to guilt-trip the Celestial Palace. He told his people to spread the news of the Celestial Palace to the public. All of a sudden, everyone knew that the young lady of the Celestial Palace had married another man without consent. The incident caused an uproar, and everyone was talking about it. It was one of the most explosive pieces of news in the world of practitioners. The Celestial Palace was a large guild that valued the personal conduct of their guild members. A member would be punished for doing such a thing, but their young lady had rebelliously chosen to be with a man of unknown origins. The news was all hyped up, and everyone waited to watch the excitement. Of course, the people of the Celestial Palace heard the news too. The guild leader scowled upon receiving it. He did not th
Sure enough, Alain was very angry. He stared at Dennis in disbelief, surprised at his defeat. “How did you end up losing? Is he really as strong as the rumors said? I refuse to believe that a little brat can bring you any harm!" Alain subconsciously felt that Dennis had not done his best. Alain was sure that Dennis was being overdramatic. Dennis had always been a powerful god of war. This unexpected outcome was simply impossible. Thus, he felt that Dennis had not done his best to fulfill his duty. “Although I only exchanged one move with that young man, I could easily tell his level. I could feel that he’s more talented than Hogster. I believe it’ll be a great help for us if we can take him under our wing.” Dennis was doing it for the benefit of the guild. It would be an advantage to the guild if they could get Ronan. However, his words infuriated Alain instead. He was angry at Dennis’ stupid suggestion. “Ronan is clearly not the same as us. No matter how strong he is, he
Although Dennis could not be bothered with Hogster, he had to fight for the chance to recruit Ronan. However, Ronan shook his head. “I already have Philip, so you can forget about it. So, do you still want to fight? I don't mind showing you my strength.” Ronan had simply executed a casual move just now, so it could not be considered a full-blown display of his powers. If Dennis still wanted to fight, he would oblige. Dennis shook his head. He could clearly tell that he was no match for Ronan. Although he wanted to teach Ronan a lesson, he would only end up tragically if he went ahead with it. He did not doubt that Ronan could easily crush him. “Please excuse our intrusion today.” Dennis bowed to Ronan and left without another word. He did not want to stay in this unpleasant place any longer. He was the third elder, a person of high status. Not to mention suffering an easy defeat, but he also had to apologize to the person who defeated him, which was simply woeful. The perso
