Chapter 16

Author: Master Yu Who Smokes
“Causing trouble?” Anna frowned. Her aura became colder as the temperature around fell by a few degrees. Whoever dared to cause trouble at Civil Gallery must have eaten a bear’s heart!

When Allison saw Anna’s reaction, her mouth curved into a cruel smile. She pointed to Philip, who had his hands stuffed in his pockets as he stood leisurely, and said, “That’s right. It’s that migrant worker over there. He’s not only causing trouble but was even delusional, saying that he wants to see you. I scolded him for a bit, but he said I didn’t have the right to be at Civil Gallery. Isn’t he an idiot?”

Anna glanced coldly at Allison. Although she was not fond of Allison’s condescending tone, the girl was still one of her people, so she kept quiet. Anna then strutted elegantly over to Philip and asked with a straight face, “You’re the one causing trouble?”

Philip glanced at this woman in front of him. She’s Anna Carter? Not bad. Gorgeous and very endearing. Philip did not answer but quietly t

keeping a low profile means dressing up as a migrant worker? really? even a migrant worker dress up such a way because its their working clothes and would look presentable in their own standard when not working is a dirty environment.

    “Lloyd Zalman, who allowed you to come in here?” Anna denounced icily. She despised this shitty fat man because he had been coveting her for a long time now. Whenever he had time, Lloyd would come into her office and shamelessly tried to take her to a dinner date. He was also underhanded, always trying to bring his friends and family members into Civil Gallery through his connection. For example, Allison Cooper was one of the people he had brought in. “Anna Carter, what’s with your attitude? As the operations director of Civil Gallery, can’t I come here to take a rest?” Lloyd Zalman settled himself comfortably into the sofa. Like a huge pile of meat, he had layers of fats on his stomach that his shirt was threatening to burst open. “This is not somewhere you can enter. Leave immediately,” Anna pointed to the door and said coldly. The new owner was right here, but this idiot was so presumptuous. Lloyd chuckled then glanced at Philip and teased shamelessly, “You’re really somethi

    Philip smiled. “I’m here to take a look.” What a coincidence to run into Aiden here. “Take a look? What’s there for you to see?” Aiden sounded displeased. “Do you know where this is? Is this a place someone like you can enter? Get out this instant!” Aiden hated Philip. The broke man had stolen his goddess from him, and now, he even came to Civil Gallery for a stroll. Did this man not realize that he was tainting this gallery with his existence? Philip frowned slightly, feeling irked. “Why can’t I be here to look?” This Aiden Grant had no idea that the man standing in front of him was the new owner of Civil Gallery, so he still had the gall to look down on him. Philip felt disgusted. “Hahaha!” Aiden laughed out incredulously. “Philip, you’re such a fool. Do you know what kind of people are allowed in Civil Gallery?” “This, I really don’t know,” Philip calmly answered. Aiden tipped his chin up, already forgotten what he came here to do. When else would he humiliate Philip i

    Today was Saturday. Wynn got up very early to start putting on makeup in the bathroom. Philip came out from the bedroom to coax his daughter, who was making a fuss. “Isn’t it your off-day today? Why did you wake up so early?” Philip was carrying his daughter as he stood at the bathroom door and asked. Wynn answered without looking at him. “I have to go back to the office today and meet a client in the afternoon.” She then looked at herself, left and right in the mirror. She put on her lipstick, then pursed her lips. This woman was gorgeous. Even with light makeup, she was still as endearing as a fairy. Wynn squeezed past Philip, hastily took her bag and put on her high heels. “Oh, right. Go over to the gallery today to help my dad out. Let Lynn look after Mila. I’ve already informed her last night. She will be over at about ten.” “Come back earlier, Mama.” Little Mila was still in Philip’s arms as she waved at Wynn with her adorable and fair little arm. Dimples appeared on he

    At the same time, Philip had reached Civil Gallery. Today was his father-in-law’s exhibition, so he had come to help out. As soon as he entered the door, Philip noticed that the hall had been luxuriously decorated. There was quality and taste. It was definitely not done simply. It seemed that Anna had put in a lot of effort. Jasmine then noticed Philip, who was looking around at the door. She walked over with a smile and greeted, “Hello, do you need my help with anything? Uhm, you are…” The exhibition today was extremely important. Manager Carter had instructed that everything had to be perfect as the guests today were all prominent figures in Riverdale City. Hence, all the staff had to be respectful and humble. They should never judge a person by their looks. Jasmine had thought that Philip was a guest here for the exhibition. After all, she had already received a few, and they were now waiting at the resting area in the next hall. But to her surprise, it was him. Philip loo

    At Celestial Club! Why would Wynn go to such a place? Wasn’t she meeting a client? Philip did not have time to think. He dashed out of the gallery, his heart flaring up like a ball of flame. Please be safe. Please be! Jasmine did not know what was going on but saw Philip running away in a hurry. Where was this guy hurrying off to? Upon exiting Civil Gallery, Philip was about to hail a cab when a flashy red Porsche 911 stopped in front of him. Anna appeared in a black trench coat. “Mr. Clarke, where are you rushing off to?” Anna looked sideways, about to get out of the car when Philip pulled open the passenger seat and ordered in a hurry. “To Celestial Club!” Anna did not ask more. She quickly started up the Porsche, like a red arrow being shot, the dust flew up into the air as the vehicle disappeared from Civil Gallery’s entrance. This scene was coincidentally seen by Aiden, who was looking from the door. With hate in his eyes, he stared at the disappearing headlights, conf

    “Sister Anna, why are you here?” The bouncer who had been arrogant earlier was now meek as a child. They were working for Celestial Club, so these men had been used to flaunting their authority. But meeting Anna still made them feel uneasy because if they were not careful enough, they might end up offending Theo. “Hmph!” Anna snorted. After a few more words of reproach, she did not waste any more time with them. She could see the restlessness in Philip’s eyes, so she quickly let Philip inside after forcing the two men to back down. The bouncers scratched their heads in fear and confusion as they watched Philip and Anna go in. “Hey, who do you think that guy is that Sister Anna would personally escort and protect?” “Don’t be so nosy, unless you feel like separating your head from your body.” The interior design of Celestial Club was indeed luxurious. Gold was the primary color of the interior with dragons and phoenix as the central theme. The place looked extravagant. Even the

    Philip’s expression was cold, his tone chilling. With his stern appearance, his body was exuding a strong murderous intent! Jade was stunned. She backed away a few steps by instinct. This… this brat had a more powerful aura than Brother Drogo! And it was not just a little bit. It was so heavy that she found it hard to breathe. Just who exactly was he? Quickly steadying herself, Jade’s eyes turned cold as a smirk appeared on her face. “Sister Anna, this brat of yours is just arrogant on a whole new level. Doesn’t he know that this is Brother Drogo’s turf?” Anna smiled instead. Drogo Hank? So what? Mr. Clarke can lay this Celestial Club to waste with just one sentence. Even if Drogo were here today, once he knows of Philip’s identity, he would have to prostrate and ask for Mr. Clarke’s forgiveness. “Jade Quinley, I’m warning you, if you don’t want to get yourself in any trouble, lead the way now! Or else, even Jesus can’t save you!” Anna, too, was running out of patience because

    Philip lifted his leg and kicked hard at the door! Bam! The door was burst open. Jade was stunned. She never expected the boy toy to be this barbaric and immoral. She would definitely get Brother Drogo to take care of him later! The loud music inside the room muted the sound of the door being kicked open. The colorful shining lights made it hard to see what was going on inside. There was a crowd of men and women, naked as they drank, played games, and fooled around. Tap! Philip pushed the switch on the wall, and all of a sudden, the whole room was brightly lit, exposing various hideous activities. The occupants of the room shrieked as they picked up their clothes from the floor in a flurry. Philip was dumbstruck by this scene. He quickly swept a glance around the room in search of Wynn’s presence. Where is Wynn? Where is she?! Just then, a hostile voice rang from within the room. “Anna Carter, this isn’t Theo Zander’s turf. A b*tch like you causing a ruckus here with your b

    “What’s inside the coffin?” “Who knows? I heard someone calling for help inside. Why don't we open it and take a look?” The fawns were not yet fully grown, so they were simple-minded. Hearing someone calling for help, they wanted to lend a helping hand. They had taken on human form, so they could move easily. The coffin was sealed to prevent someone from opening it from the inside, but the effect was almost non-existent once someone opened the coffin from the outside. The fawns broke the seal, and Akash jumped out. He looked around in a panic and was surprised to see that his rescuers were a bunch of fawns. “Thank you. I’m a member of the elf family. You may come to us if you need any help in the future. I’ll do my best to help you.” After saying this, Akash vanished in front of the fawns. He had very important things to attend to. The little fawns never expected that they would rescue such a beautiful elf. They were puzzled and wondered what was going on. “Was that the

    Everyone returned to the topic at hand and forgot about everything else. Akash was expectant, waiting to hear what everyone had to say. “According to our investigation, the fish creatures became so arrogant because they colluded with the demons. They wouldn’t have been strong enough to deal with us if the demons hadn’t given them the power to do so.” Philip was surprised to hear about the demons’ involvement again. It was simply ridiculous that everything was related to demons. “The demons are quite ambitious. It seems that they want to conquer this land like the humans before them, so they keep making trouble. I think we should get rid of them!” The chief was very angry. He hated the demons from the bottom of his heart and wished they would disappear. Akash’s expression changed. Although he had an opinion about the other party's words, he did not dare to express his thoughts due to his current identity. “Akash, tell me what you think about this matter. I believe that the

    “I’m surprised that they’d attack me first. I thought they’d be more interested in Philip.” Loony looked at Akash thoughtfully. He knew that Akash was behind this. Akash returned his gaze silently, acting as if it had nothing to do with him. He would never admit his identity. “Ugh, that thing is so ugly.” Marina covered her mouth in a panic. Although they had a high tolerance level, these toad-like monsters were simply gross. Marina's father wanted to take this opportunity to see Philip's strength, but Philip did not take action. Loony dealt with the other party, and they found out that Loony was human. “I remember hearing a legend about a lunatic. Are you the lunatic mentioned?” Marina was puzzled by Loony’s identity. Everything Loony did proved that he was human, but none of them could do any of it. “It's said that only humans and demons can practice voodoo, which is what I think you did just now. Philip can’t possibly be involved with the demons, so if I’m not mi

    Philip shrugged and said calmly, “As usual, we take one step at a time. If they use force, we’ll do the same. Don’t worry about it. Even though they're strong, it’s not as if we can’t do anything about it.” Marina's heart skipped a beat at the sight of Philip's confidence, her feelings indescribable. Marina's father was heartbroken at this scene. He wished he could slap his daughter to wake her up. “Hmph, there's no point in saying empty words. Anyone can take one step at a time. When the enemy shows up at the door, that’s the only thing we can do.” Everyone noticed the sarcasm behind the words, and Marina was shocked. She did not expect that her father would be so unreasonable as to pick a fight at this time. Before anyone could say anything else, the door was kicked open, and Philip was surprised to see the person who entered the door. Philip did not set up a barrier in this place, so anyone could enter and exit freely. Everyone was on guard against the newcomer because

    Loony and Akash were beating about the bush, trying to intimidate each other. However, Loony uncovered the mystery first. Akash coughed violently to conceal his shock and returned to his room after excusing himself, clearly going to inform the people behind him. “See, he exposed himself after just a few words. It's quite interesting,” Loony said with a smile, not acting like a lunatic at all. Philip had to marvel at his acting skills. Everyone always treated him as a lunatic, which saved him a lot of trouble. Akash returned to the room and tried to contact the people behind him, but he could not find anyone for some reason. He looked around anxiously, wondering what he should do next. “Damn it. At worst, I’ll have to deal with him.” Akash decided to deal with Loony. In his opinion, Loony should have been greatly weakened after being imprisoned for so many years and was no match for himself. Everything would be under his command if he could find a way to control Loony. Thi

    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
