Hiss! Hearing this, Ross was dumbfounded. He looked at Philip in confusion and asked, “Mayor Winter, what do you mean?” On the other end of the phone, Peyton Winter took a deep breath and said, “Ross Hogan, don't ask any more questions. All you need to know is to follow orders. After this matter is over, I’ll give you an explanation.” Since he had put it this way, Ross also understood that the young man in front of him had a very special identity! Could he be the son of a hidden affluent family? Did he represent a certain level of identity? Ross ended the call with a frown before he said respectfully to Philip, “Mr. Clarke, I’m at your disposal.” “Huh? Ross, what are you talking about?” Ada, who was behind him, dropped her jaw. Her eyes were full of shock. Ross was notorious for not bending to the influential, but now, his attitude had changed with one phone call. “Ada, don’t ask what you shouldn’t and just obey orders,” Ross said. “O-Okay.” Ada’s beautiful eyes swe
All the medical staff of Uppercreek Municipal Hospital was shocked by this scene! Terrifying! The people in front of them were all iconic figures in the domestic medical field. At this moment, they were so respectfully bowing to the young man in front of them. For such a lineup of medical personnel, it would be almost impossible to find another group of people in the country who could be compared to them. Moreover, there was still a hovering helicopter above their heads! For a while, all the medical staff looked at Philip with awe and suspicion. The identity of the young man in front of them was definitely something special. He obviously looked so ordinary, though. How could he have the means to gather such a team of medical experts in such a short time? Philip left the hospital and appeared in Victor Bell’s office. Victor had stayed up all night as he dared not be negligent at all. Due to Anne’s accident, he dared not be careless and had sent all his men to search the
Without hesitation, Philip dialed the other party's number. The call was quickly connected, and the person on the other end asked in confusion, “Who are you? Why do you have my personal number?” “Homer Dunley, I’m Philip Clarke,” Philip said flatly. “Philip Clarke? I don’t know you. Did you dial the wrong number?” When Homer heard this, he frowned and wanted to end the call. However, Philip’s next sentence startled him. “Your son, Hector Dunley, injured my god-sister and is fleeing back to Charbury.” “Hector?” Homer frowned. After contacting his son earlier, he learned that he had gotten into trouble in Uppercreek after injuring a female nanny. He did not think it was a big deal then, so he did not ask much about it. However, the other party’s god-brother had taken the initiative to approach him now and was even able to get his private number in such a short time, which meant that the other party's influence was not small. It seemed that this matter was not that simpl
“50 billion?” Homer was startled before his expression turned cold and he said solemnly, “Young man, are you kidding me?” 50 billion dollars was a sky-high amount even in Charbury! Even as the richest family in Charbury, the Dunley family would be tempted by such an astronomical figure. Homer’s face was very gloomy as he added, “I’m discussing a solution with you. Don’t you think it's a bit too disrespectful of you to talk to me like this? Also, do you even have 50 billion dollars? To tell you the truth, five million is my limit—not a single cent over this number. If you want to make a move on my son, I'm afraid it's difficult to do so.” At this point, Homer was very angry. The other party was clearly trying to scare him and taunt him by naming out 50 billion. Homer was already being very generous by offering five million dollars, but the other party did not know what was good for him! “Hehe, Homer Dunley, are you saying that you don’t want to hand the person over?” Phili
He knew that his strength alone was not enough to bring Hector Dunley back. However, he dared not resist Philip’s order or make any excuses to reject him. After thinking about it, Victor made a suggestion. “Young Master Clarke, based on the current situation, it’ll be difficult for me to intervene in the affairs in Charbury. The foundation of the Dunley family in Charbury is too solid and I may not be able to bring Hector back in a short time.” Philip nodded and said, “You can just assist me in this matter. I have my own arrangements.” After that, he dialed George’s number and said, “I want to overthrow Homer Dunley’s lineage in Charbury.” Philip still had his limits. Since this was a problem that involved only Homer Dunley and his son, it was enough to punish their family without involving other innocent people. On the other end of the phone, George looked grave. He had just investigated the Dunley family and obtained a lot of background information. The Dunley family of C
In Homer Dunley’s villa in Charbury. At this moment, Homer was in the living room, sitting on a luxurious leather sofa while sipping on warm tea. Next to him, his son Hector was venting angrily, saying, “Dad, that damned Philip Clarke even tried to stop me in Uppercreek. Hehe, I must get him back for this!” Homer glanced at his son and said unhappily, “That’s enough! Do you have any idea how much trouble you’ve caused? He has already contacted me just now!” Hector was taken aback before saying in an unperturbed manner, “He contacted you? Did he ask to settle it privately or something? I just injured a female nanny. It was just one knock and she passed out. It’s her fault for not being physically fit enough to resist a beating. Besides, there’s nothing remarkable about Philip. He just knows a guy by the name of Heath, who happens to be a subordinate of Victor Bell in Uppercreek. Even if Victor personally came to Charbury, there’s nothing to fear! This is the territory of the Dun
“Homer Pharmaceutical, return my hard-earned money! You bunch of cheaters!” “Homer Pharmaceutical has victimized old helpless people like us. They say we can live up to 99 years old if we use their health care products. But now, several of my friends have been hospitalized after taking their products!” “The chairman of Homer Pharmaceutical, Homer Dunley, once promised us that we can get dividends if we buy their health care products—like buying shares. Now that we’re here for the dividends, they’re giving us all kinds of reasons and excuses. They even got hooligans from the streets to drive us away. Sometimes, those people even lay a hand on old men and women like us!” Hundreds of elderly people appeared on the camera. They were standing in the cold wind, frantically condemning Homer Pharmaceutical. Seeing this scene, Homer could not help but smash the remote control in his hand. Then, he picked up the phone, dialed the number of the general manager of the local news channel, a
The instant he heard this name, Homer was stunned! Philip Clarke? How could it be? That man only had some influence in Uppercreek. How could it reach Charbury? Moreover, Homer Pharmaceutical was one of the top companies here with many supporters behind it. By doing this, it was tantamount to challenging Homer’s patience and prestige, as well as challenging the company’s backers! “Neal, don't you f*cking bullsh*t me right now! How could Philip’s hand reach Charbury?” Homer’s face grew colder with deep resentment in his gaze. To his surprise, Neal grinned and said, “Mr. Dunley, I'm afraid you don’t understand. Your four units of dividends are nothing compared to the benefits they promised me. Besides, it’s also difficult to determine how long Mr. Clarke’s hands can reach. I can only give you a word of advice—don’t be too pretentious and look down on others. This Mr. Clarke is likely to be the jinx in your life.” Hearing this, Homer was very upset. However, he could not be
“You want the merfolk's pearl, but the fish creatures haven't given it to me yet. I don’t have it right now. Even if you defeat me, what’s the point? The fish creatures can run with it while you’re distracted. It’ll be a waste of time for you to fight me,” Philip said. He was really worried about Tom’s IQ. He could understand if he attacked Moby instead. “The thing is in Moby’s hand, but you want to attack me instead of dealing with him. Is it because you can't get the woman of your dreams?” Philip had a sharp tongue, and Tom trembled at his words. Philip dared to humiliate him like this. However, Philip had a point. He should deal with Moby instead. He was just annoyed that his beloved Marina liked Philip. Tom was infuriated by Philip’s words and attacked him. He had to kill Philip at all costs and show Marina the scene of Philip's defeat. The two were quickly engaged in a fight, and Tom moved fluidly in this disgusting swamp. Philip maintained a superior position and foug
“This is an agreement between me and Chief Moray. It’s not up to you.” After saying this, Tom took out a sharp dagger from his pocket. Philip thought Tom was going to attack him, but Tom used the dagger to cut himself instead, leaving everyone wondering what he was doing. After injuring himself, he took out a bottle of potion and poured it on the wound, which healed in a few seconds. Philip was surprised by the rapid recovery. The potion had to be a treasure. At this time, everyone realized that Tom's strength was increasing rapidly to the point of being daunting. Aslan stepped back cautiously, surprised by this unexpected turn. He had always been a fearless person, but he felt a sense of oppression from this weak person. It proved that the potion was powerful enough to pose a threat to him. Thinking of this, Aslan scowled and reached out for Philip, hoping that Philip could take care of it. After all, he and Lyle were equally strong. If he could not deal with Tom, Lyle
“Tom, if you can take care of this matter, I’ll give you Marina’s hand in marriage. I’m sure the two of you can work together to lead the merfolk to glory.” Everyone was shocked, including Tom, who was in disbelief. No one expected that Moray would ask Tom to marry Marina. Even the fish creatures were shocked. Although they were enemies, they knew that Marina was the merfolk's holy maiden. Tom had been protecting the holy maiden over the years, so he was a servant without a doubt. It was ironic to hear that a servant was worthy enough to marry the holy maiden. Marina was shocked and subconsciously glanced at Philip, who was indifferent about it. After all, it was the merfolk's affairs, nothing to do with him. Philip would not bother even if Marina had to marry an old man. “However, you must prove your ability before you can marry my daughter. If you get the item, I’ll hand her to you.” Moray had been seriously injured before this and could no longer fight normally. The merf
Philip took out a small bottle of elf water from his pocket and handed it to Moby. He wanted to see what the ugly creature would look like after taking the precious elf water. Moby was shocked to see Philip handing him some elf water and felt unworthy of it. At Philip’s insistence, he walked over and respectfully took the small bottle of elf water from Philip. He took a sip cautiously and wanted to marvel at its wonderful taste. Philip felt exasperated at Moby’s caution. Moby probably had no idea how Lyle and the others treated the water. They not only used it to bathe but also drank it casually like normal drinking water. Marina and the others watched with envy. They knew how precious the elf water was, so they were shocked by Philip’s generosity in giving it to the humble fish creatures. Even the merfolk found it difficult to get some elf water, but these lowly creatures got it. No one would be happy at this scene. Philip glanced at everyone. The other fish creatures st
Surprisingly, things turned out this way. However, Marina believed that Philip would not do things to the extreme. There had to be a reason for his actions. “Philip, you promised us first. Are you going to go back on your word and work with the fish creatures instead? They're up to no good. You’ll regret it if you work with them!” Tom was nervous, afraid that he had messed things up. It would be over if Philip decided not to help them anymore. He could already imagine how angry Moray would be. “I only promised to take care of the fish creatures. Now that they've surrendered to me, it’s the same as fulfilling my promise. Do you think otherwise? Now that it’s done, I have no obligation to help you any longer. That’s all I have to say.” Philip shook his head helplessly at the nervous Marina. He thought it was a pity. Marina was a nice person, but she was too young and innocent, full of unnecessary fantasies in her mind. Maybe things would not have turned out this way if she had
“I’m surrendering to the humans, not the merfolk. Who do you think you are?” The chief of the fish creatures knew that he stood a chance to survive if he surrendered to the humans, but they would be dead if they gave in to the merfolk. The merfolk hated their existence and could not wait to kill them. On the other hand, the humans did not have a big grudge against them. At most, he would allow Katie to stab them a few times. Moray scowled at his words and trembled with anger. “Fine, remember your words. You’ll pay the price for what you said today.” He turned away from the chief of the fish creatures' arrogant face and glanced at Philip instead. In his opinion, Philip should at least fulfill his promise. However, Philip paid no heed to him at all. “You should know what I want. I won’t take action if you hand it over of your own accord. Although you’re ugly, at least you never messed with me,” Philip said with a smile. The fish creatures could not refute the fact that they
Tom watched this scene smugly. His plan worked. Although he failed to get Katie’s agreement, he managed to sow discord between Marina and Philip. He could proceed with the next step. Marina was very upset now, so he had to seize the opportunity to intervene. Katie was the center of this fight. It was time for a battle to the death. Philip watched from the sidelines. He would only step forward to provide help when Katie needed it. Otherwise, he would simply keep an eye on her. He wanted to take the opportunity to train her as an ace up his sleeve. The fish creatures were fully prepared to fight Philip and the others, but they had no idea that they were so strong. They thought that the humans had ordinary bodies and could not resist their poison. The fish creatures' venom should be lethal for humans, making them unable to resist. However, these humans seemed indestructible. They had no way to deal with them no matter how hard they tried. “What’s up with these people's bodies?
Tom was counting on Philip to help them deal with the fish creatures. He thought that he could sit back and reap the benefits, but things were not as simple as imagined. Philip would not fall for it so easily. Philip glanced at Tom, disappointed by the eagerness in his eyes. He did not expect that the simple and honest young man would show such a side. At this time, Tom glanced at Katie. He wanted to take the opportunity to win Katie over to his side. “Katie, just look at the ugly side of these people. I begged Philip to bring you to this world back then, so I’m obligated to protect you. Philip is up to no good. I want to take responsibility for what I did back then,” Tom said righteously. Tom felt smug about it, but it was quickly replaced by tension and worry. Katie looked at Tom in confusion, thinking that maybe he was a little unhinged. “You didn’t beg Philip to take me in back then. I was the one who begged him to take me away. “If you hadn't fled to our fishing villag
Moray glanced at Philip with disdain and anger, blaming Philip for everything. He would not have suffered this humiliation if not for Philip. “No matter what, I’ll take care of you right now. Putting aside whether I’m working with humans or not, you’ll die as long as you can’t defeat me.” Moray put up a tough front, feeling annoyed about this. He was embarrassed because of Philip. He vowed to cut off all ties with Philip later and never let anyone know that they worked with humans. Aslan was annoyed by Moray’s unpleasant words. “What do you mean, old man? You behaved differently when you wanted to use us and changed your attitude after using us. Are you burning bridges now?” Aslan with his hot temper knew that the best way to deal with Moray was to condemn him. Moray scowled, surprised that someone dared to complain about him. “What do you mean? Do you think I'm a pushover? You used us to help you deal with the fish creatures, and you want to cut ties with us right after th
