“Hahaha!” Henley laughed raucously. Philip said he was richer than him and his wealth was beyond their imagination. “Buddy, are you right in the head? Is there something wrong with you? Why did you start talking crazy?” Henley smiled mockingly. Clara shook with laughter next to him, holding her sides while saying, “Oh, Philip, I really have to give it to you. I've never seen someone like you who is poor but still demands respect. Do you know what happens when you brag too much?” Philip looked at them coldly and said, “If I said that I’ll buy everything, it means that I’ll buy everything. I’m not bragging.” Henley smiled as he shook his head and mocked. “Okay then, I’ll watch as you pay for it, okay? If you can really shell out the money, I'll immediately get out of this store, alright?” The attendant glanced at Philip coldly. Of course, she would not believe that a loser could be so rich. He was just pretending to talk big. She did not take Philip seriously at all. “Sir
Hearing Henley’s analysis, everyone came to a realization. It turned out that Philip had no money and deliberately used a fake card to shift the blame. Joy’s disgusted expression looked as though she had smelled something bad. Damn it, what kind of person was he? Clara almost went mad with laughter. She went up to Wynn and mocked her, saying, “This is too amusing. Wynn, I thought your Philip was so awesome but it turns out that he’s just a liar. Haha, now that the cat is out of the bag, hurry up and get lost! I really wonder how he thought of using a fake card that doesn’t work.” At this time, Joy tugged at Wynn’s clothes and whispered, “I think we should leave and not get involved in this embarrassing situation with him. I can't stand this sort of humiliation.” Wynn did not say anything but walked up to Philip with a gloomy expression. She could not understand why Philip was doing this. Was it because of dignity? Philip was not this kind of person. Was he just trying to
“Young man, where did your card come from?” the shop owner asked nervously. Philip was taken aback and said, “It’s mine. Why? Do you recognize this card?” When the owner heard that the card belonged to Philip, he immediately stood in awe. He respectfully handed this bank card back to Philip, shook hands with him, and said, “Hello, please let me introduce myself. I’m the owner of this store, Rowan Holmes. I once had the privilege of seeing this black card from a business partner of mine. I know full well what this card represents!” Mr. Holmes had a respectful look on his face. “My last name is Clarke,” Philip said flatly. Clarke? Mr. Holmes was startled. He quickly turned around and questioned the shop attendant with a reprimanding tone, “What’s with all the noise just now? Did you offend this gentleman?” Several attendants came where the boss was, stood in line, and lowered their heads. The boss was giving a lecture and this was the rule. The attendant who mocked Phil
“Yes, Philip Clarke is nothing but a fraud! I've asked around and he's a notorious loser in Riverdale! Mr. Holmes, don’t be fooled by him!” Clara added. Rowan disliked the arrogant attitude of these two people but their words were not entirely without reason, so he confirmed with his staff. “Is it true that this gentleman said he wants to buy all the clothes here?” This time, he directed the question to the young lady who seemed more honest. She just joined not long ago and would not lie. The young lady nodded nervously. Mr. Holmes’ expression darkened a little. He took a deep breath and calmed the anger in his heart. He had started to believe that Philip was nothing but a liar. It was ridiculous enough that someone from that family would come to this store to buy clothes. Now, he even wanted to buy out the entire store. Was this young man not deliberately messing around with them? However, an experienced businessman like Rowan Holmes was still very cautious. Without causin
The transaction was successful! Those staff who looked down on Philip just now were all dumbfounded and shocked! The payment… went through! Henley and Clara were also stunned, their faces filled with incredulity! How could this be? Philip actually paid for it and Wynn had entered the password! This was simply unbelievable! Was Philip not a loser who married into the Johnston family? Clara’s heart was in turmoil now and she was feeling very upset. A man she hated bought all the clothes in the shop for the woman she loathed the most. Wynn even knew the password to the bank card! She was jealous and envious! Even Mr. Holmes was trembling at this moment because he understood what that card in Philip’s hand represented! This was a bank card exclusive to the Clarke family. The identities of those who can use this card were definitely not something a small potato like him could comprehend. Now, such a person was in his shop. He was excited but panicking at the same tim
This annoyed Henley. He immediately took out his phone and yelled, “Very well, Rowan Holmes. You’re just the owner of a luxury clothing store and you dare to challenge my father? I’ll let you die without knowing how you died!” After saying that, he directly dialed his father's number and shouted anxiously, “Dad, come quickly! Your son is about to be killed!” On the other end of the line, a gruff male voice sounded. “What's going on? Whoever dares to lay a hand on the son of Bo Dill must be tired of living! Who’s the other party? Did you mention my name?” Henley quickly said, “Dad, I did. I said I’m the young master of the Dill family and my father is Bo Dill, but the other party doesn’t respect you at all. He even said you wouldn’t dare to touch him on his territory.” “What? Who dares to be so cocky? Son of a b*tch! Tell me the name of the other party and the address. I’ll meet him in person!” Bo was furious. Henley said, “Dad, the other party’s name is Rowan Holmes, he—” H
Upon hearing Philip’s words, Henley and Clara’s expressions looked very unpleasant. When they saw Philip’s indifferent eyes, they felt as though they were being targeted by a beast. Too scary! The look in Philip’s eyes simply made people uncomfortable. Henley was flustered because his old man had told him to kneel and apologize just now, but he lied and said that his father would come to stand up for him. Thus, he was scared. However, he was also very indignant! On what grounds could a loser be so arrogant? “You have a little money in your hand so you think you can act pretentiously, huh? Fine, if you can subdue me today, I’ll kneel in front of you!” Henley said to Philip haughtily. He wanted to perform well in front of his new girl, Clara Nolan. Maybe she would be happy and agree to go to a hotel with him tonight! It was just a million dollars, right? He totally did not put Philip in his eyes at all. Philip smiled lightly and said, “It seems that your family is q
Henley got a shock and quickly said, “Dad, what’s wrong? I didn’t cause trouble. Someone else messed with me.” “How dare you ask me what’s wrong? Do you know that someone seized our mine just now? It’s all because of you!” Bo roared. The mine was seized? Henley’s heart jolted as he asked in a hurry, “Dad, don't joke with me. How could our family’s mine be seized? Don’t you have someone above you?” “This is something I should be asking you. Do you know that you’ve caused a terrible disaster? Who did you offend outside? Why did the Uppercreek General Inspection team suddenly mobilize its people to search us? They even said you messed with some young master of the Clarke family and searched our entire mine. Now, the factory has stopped production! You’re such a prodigal son! Do you want to kick me into my coffin before you stop?” Bo said, almost dying of anger. Henley was in a panic now. The family’s mine could not be seized. Otherwise, where would his future monthly allowances
Rabbit hopped around the grandmaster and felt that the latter was not lying. Rabbit had weathered many storms with Philip. He knew that according to human legends, the elves should be noble creatures. They were always arrogant and avoided contact with other creatures. “Anyway, since we’re here, let’s take a look inside. Who knows if any surprises are waiting for us?” Rabbit comforted Philip, and Black Rabbit was startled by his words. “You seem disappointed by this discovery. It doesn’t make sense to me. Are you really not aware of this situation?” Amid Black Rabbit's confusion, everyone entered the territory to watch the fun. Since the guard was enjoying his wonderful life, he did not pay attention to the invaders. He was supposed to be on duty with another guard today, but he swapped the other guard out because he wanted to be on a date with this female elf. The two were having a great romantic time in the room. Philip and his people entered the territory of the elves w
Later, the humans attacked the stone monsters, leaving the stone woman the only remaining survivor. Then, the elves found her. In the end, she was enslaved and became the gatekeeper of the elves. “Don’t blame me for your bad luck if you refuse to believe me. The humans are not to be trifled with. I’m sure you guys are no match for them,” the stone woman said vehemently. She came here with good intentions to report her findings. She wanted to claim the credit, but the other party disregarded her. The stone woman fought Philip earlier and knew exactly how strong he was. Although she was weaker than the elves, she knew that Philip could crush them easily and they would not be able to do anything about it. The elf warrior who received the message did not report the incident but returned to his station happily. He had been flirting with his female companion before they were interrupted. He had finally found a suitable female elf after so many years of being single, so he had no
Black Rabbit squeezed out a flattering smile and nodded excitedly at Philip. “Don’t worry. I’ll lie to anyone but you. I’ve decided to see you as my master and follow you from now on.” Rabbit was disgusted by Black Rabbit’s flattering look. “We’ll arrive soon. Although that woman is a bit scary, she’s nothing compared to you.” Meanwhile, the stone woman arrived at the elves’ location. Since the forest belonged to them, and coupled with the natural characteristics of a stone, she was very fast and arrived at the elves' territory before Philip and the others. The stone woman knelt at the door and stared ahead in a panic. “Are the elves around? Please come out. I need to speak to you,” the stone woman shouted at the door anxiously. An elf walked out unhappily with a weapon in hand. “Why are you making a fuss here? Do you want to die?” The elves were very arrogant and would never allow such an ugly thing to make a fuss at their door. It was not only impolite but also affect
“I know how you managed to survive, but I’m not interested in it. Don’t worry, we’re not one of those people. I won’t do anything to you.” When the stone woman collected the stones, Philip realized that the stones were connected to the woman's body. The stones felt different from ordinary stones because they had been carefully nurtured by the woman, which was quite amazing. “Leave now. Stay no longer. I’m afraid to see humans now.” The stone woman trembled and took several steps back. She entered a cave and refused to show herself again. The stone woman had done no actual harm to them, and she was truly afraid of them. Philip waved his hand and led everyone away without further ado. He was not interested in that ugly woman. Black Rabbit hugged Philip's thigh in fear along the way, feeling extremely nervous. He had thought that Philip and his people were warriors of a certain race, but they turned out to be humans. After joining the humans, he had no way of backing out. He hat
Trapping her opponent with stones was the stone woman’s strongest killing move. Once this method failed, it proved that the opponent was strong—at least not someone she could deal with. At this point, she had no choice but to surrender. However, she had said so many harsh words earlier that she felt too embarrassed to back down now. “Why are you so strong?” Philip and the others did not hide their identities or disguise their appearances with fake ears and tails. The stone woman looked at them in puzzlement. “You don’t have any clear racial distinction, and I don’t sense any racial power in you. Are you humans?” the woman yelled in horror, shocked to see humans roaming freely in the world of the gods. Philip was puzzled, wondering how she came to that conclusion. He thought they looked pretty good. She could hardly determine that they were humans simply because they had no ears or tails. Seeing Philip's confusion, the stone woman knew her guess was right. These people in fr
“Are you looking for the elves? If so, you came to the wrong place. You might've had the chance to see the elves if you had taken a detour at the front, but now that you’re in my territory, you have no chance of getting out alive no matter how strong you are.” Philip nodded at her explanation. “In other words, you’re nothing but a watchdog raised by the elves,” Philip said with a smile. The woman was furious by that remark. “Damn it, go to hell!” The woman waved her hand at the stones on the side, and the stones moved. Everyone watched her actions curiously. “Did you think I managed to live to this day by relying solely on my domain? Hehe, you’re greatly mistaken. I have exactly what it takes to deal with you!” The stones attacked Philip. They were not ordinary stones but humanoid creatures made of stones! They were very tall and seemed determined to crush Philip with sheer size. His exotic fire did not affect them. They were not ordinary stones, and stone was not afraid
The woman was clearly startled by Philip’s remarks. “That’s none of your business!” Before she could say anything else, there was a loud crack, and the domain that the woman was so proud of suddenly shattered. Everyone’s vision was restored to normal, and they saw an ugly woman in front of them. The woman stood in front of them, spitting blood as she glared at Philip with anger and disbelief. “How did you break my domain? That’s impossible! Someone of your level is no match for me!” Philip sneered at the woman’s confidence, “If you had other underhanded tricks, maybe I’d be no match for you, but your level is nothing worth mentioning." Although her domain was powerful for normal people, it was nothing to him. Philip had awakened his own domain ages ago, so he had done some research on this topic. In reality, he did not destroy the other party's domain with his strength but simply shrouded his people in his domain, which he had full control over. After everyone entered h
“No way! Then who held my hand just now? I felt a woman holding my hand. It couldn't be Katie, so who else could it be but you?” Everyone complained, and Philip felt something was wrong. “I didn’t!” Katie quickly clarified. Hearing everyone bickering over it, Philip said, “To be honest, I felt someone holding my hand too. If it’s not one of us, there must be other people in the dark. We need to watch out and don’t let them get their way!” Everyone scowled, surprised by Philip’s remark. At this time, Black Rabbit tentatively grabbed Philip’s pants. “I told you to hurry, but you guys refused to listen. There’s a strange woman who has been living here for a long time! She’s a force to be reckoned with. If possible, we should grope through the dark and leave this place quickly. Don't stay here any longer. It’ll be bad if we lose our lives here!” Black Rabbit said nervously. He had never been here but he had heard the legend of this woman. It was rumored that the woman would c
Black Rabbit had led Rabbit’s brother to join the wraiths. Although he regretted it, he felt proud to have groomed such a loyal subordinate. “Everyone, you need to give it your all. We have no time to lose.” Seeing the sky getting darker, Black Rabbit seemed worried. Everyone felt annoyed by Black Rabbit’s order. “You dare to order us around when your strength has been taken away?” Aslan complained about the arrogant guy. Black Rabbit looked at Philip nervously without a word. He knew that Philip was the final decision-maker. The others were Philip's subordinates. Philip did not notice anything strange. Black Rabbit was up to something. Philip did not think he would give them a warning for no reason. While everyone traveled as fast as they could, the whole forest went dark. Everyone frowned at this sudden change. They were traveling under the scorching sun one second ago, but their vision went dark the next second. Something was clearly wrong. “Philip, I can’t see y
