Hearing this, Homer’s expression changed abruptly. He stared gloomily at Philip in front of him and shouted, “My friend, do you really think I have no men in Flower City and that’s why you’re being so arrogant?” Milo also frowned and said with a pretentious smile, “Mr. Clarke, since you’re willing to come here and meet us, it means that there’s still room for discussion on this matter. Why don't we sit down and have a good talk?” After saying that, Milo gestured for the angry Homer to sit down. Philip just looked at the two indifferently without a word. Milo added, “Mr. Clarke, I think there’s a misunderstanding between us. Hector just injured a nanny. Our Dunley family is willing to pay for this mistake. Just name a price and we’re willing to accept it.” “A price?” Philip glanced at him and said with a sneer, “You may have misunderstood my meaning. I came to see you just to tell you that if you hand Hector to me, I can still stop now. Homer Dunley will still be the chairma
Philip grinned. “Do you think 50 million dollars is a lot? Anne is still in a coma. If she doesn’t wake up, I think there’s no need for you to live in this world either.” Homer laughed in exasperation. He had never seen such an arrogant young man. The price of 50 million dollars was already their limit but the other party did not appreciate it at all. She was just a nanny, right? Since she could not wake up anymore, why not let everything end here? Thinking of this, Homer could not help but sneer. “Very well, since you refuse to accept, we can’t do anything either. You won’t get a single cent of this 50 million dollars. Do you still want to deal with us? Fine, let’s see your methods. I refuse to believe that you can make my Dunley family of Flower City go bankrupt!” The corners of Philip’s mouth curved up, revealing a cruel sneer. He said, “In that case, you shall wait and see.” After that, he turned to Milo and said flatly, “I’m only after the responsible party. I don’t wa
Hearing this, Milo’s face darkened. Although he was sullen, he still said with a smile, “What did you say? Are you looking down on me?” Milo was almost dying of laughter. This arrogant guy actually dared to say something like this. He did not take him seriously at all! This was Flower City of Charbury! If one were to mention who had the greatest power in Flower City, it was undoubtedly the Dunley family! The brothers Homer and Milo Dunley! Although Homer was ranked fourth in the branch Dunley family while Milo was the seventh, and several of the brothers were scattered in other areas of Charbury so they hardly contacted each other, the seven brothers of this branch Dunley family would definitely gather together to fight against a common enemy as long as Milo made the call! “Philip, I advise you not to think too highly of yourself. This is Flower City of Charbury, my territory! Since you’ve stepped into this hotel today, it means that if we don’t reach a settlement, you
The branch Dunley family only moved here later, and to a large extent, they had not gained respect from the locals in Flower City. Later, due to the high status of the main Dunley family in Charbury, other regions were in awe of the talents in the Dunley family. If ranked by seniority and origin, it was still far from enough for the branch Dunley family to dominate Flower City. This formed a situation where all the forces held each other in check. In fact, the six underground lords of Flower City did not accept the Dunley family at all. However, they were so apprehensive of the prestige and strength of the main Dunley family in Charbury that they were still respectful of Milo. At this moment, Jowin entered the private room. A bunch of his underlings followed closely. They each had a crew cut and tattoos, which made them look extraordinarily domineering. Their appearance made Milo sullen. “Master Jowin, what brings you here?” Although Milo inwardly refused to yield to
Jowin chuckled and said, “Milo, I’m not joking with you. With me around today, don’t even think of laying a finger on Young Master Clarke.” Jowin made it very clear, and the scowl on the Dunley brothers’ faces worsened. Jowin Benson was determined to go against them! “Master Jowin, this is Flower City of Charbury. Are you sure you don’t want to consider the status of the Dunley family before making a decision?” Milo’s face was cold, and his voice sounded like it came from the depths of an ice cave. It made people involuntarily shiver upon hearing it. Yes, this was Flower City, Charbury. Here, the Dunley family owned the sky and the land. By doing this, Jowin would offend the Dunley family! Nothing good would come out of those who offended the Dunley family. However, to everyone’s surprise, Jowin sneered and said, “Milo, this is indeed Flower City of Charbury, but you’ve misunderstood one thing. Flower City will always be Flower City, not the land of your Dunley family.
Jowin followed him. Before he left, he turned and said to Milo, “Milo, I have to give you a piece of advice. Don’t think of fighting against Young Master Clarke. You’ll die without a burial place.” Looking at the backs of Jowin and Philip as they left, the brothers, Milo and Homer, exchanged glances with fierce cold intent flickering in their eyes. Suddenly, Milo spoke, “This guy has some tricks up his sleeve.” Homer nodded. Philip’s attack was like a sudden storm that sent punch after punch. Last night should have been a test while this morning was the killing move. Just now, he threw a few more punches and caught the two brothers off guard. This kid was too villainous. In just one day, he had taken down more than 20 enterprises in Flower City and bought over four out of the six underground lords. Milo had no choice but to pay serious attention to this man of such strength and means. After thinking about it, Homer said, “Milo, I think that Philip Clarke isn’t as weak
“Master Milo, feel free to give me your orders. I’ll definitely get it done for you!” On the other end of the phone, Fred said with a smile. The relationship between Milo and Fred was relatively close, so without any pretense, Milo said, “My fourth brother’s company is being targeted by a kid named Philip Clarke from Uppercreek. He seems to have the backing of Victor Bell from Uppercreek as well as the new richest man in the Penhart region.” “Victor Bell? I’ve heard of him, but so what? It’s just Uppercreek. I’m not afraid of him!” Fred immediately exclaimed, “It's the new richest man in Penhart who’s a bit difficult to deal with but don’t worry, Flower City is our territory. Even the richest man in the country has to abide by our rules if he comes to Flower City. That kid’s name is Philip Clarke, right? Okay, I’ll ask my men to meet him right away. We’ll find him and kill him.” Milo smiled and said, “Fat Dragon, I have to remind you that he has Jowin Benson with him.” “Benso
Philip nodded and asked, “Are you saying that you can’t deal with Fred Able?” Jowin smiled and said, “Young Master Clarke, you’ve misunderstood. It’s not that we can’t deal with him but it’s not worth it. If he dares to come here, I’ll be the first to deal with him.” Philip did not say anything. With his hands behind his back, he narrowed his eyes as if he was thinking about something. He said, “My time is limited. I want the Dunley family to disappear from Flower City by today. You guys can clean up the rest of the mess. Without Homer Dunley and Milo Dunley as your rivals, it should be easier for you to manage Flower City in the future.” Jowin smiled. Philip was right. Without Milo and Homer, they would be more at ease. Several of them looked at each other. One of them stood out and asked, “Young Master Clarke, what do you have in mind?” The corner of Philip's mouth curved upward, revealing a hint of coldness. He said, “Since they refuse to repent, we’ll let them know the
“Don’t worry. He’s not as powerful as you think. Besides, you can take control of my body at the critical moment, can’t you?” Abele patted her chest confidently. Hearing that, the mysterious voice stopped wasting its breath on Abele. They arrived at Philip’s residence at this point. They were surprised to find the door wide open as if Philip was waiting for their arrival. “That’s strange. Does he always leave the door open, or is he prepared to deal with us?” Abele was puzzled and pushed the door open carefully. Maybe the door was too old, so it made a creaking sound, which was quite unpleasant. There was no one behind the door. “What’s going on?” The ugly elves entered the garden but only saw some empty teacups with no sign of anyone. “They must have heard the news and ran away in advance or this place wouldn’t be empty now!” Abele was disappointed that they ran so quickly. In reality, Philip had stuffed everyone in Verge Tower while he watched the scene in a hidden co
“Take this pill and you won’t have to go around with this scary face anymore. Even if it doesn't scare our women, it's not good to scare other people.” Philip helped Loony as a show of his sincerity. He was a pitiful man, after all. “That’s great. I’ve not seen a pill for many years!” He seemed to trust Philip and swallowed the pill Philip gave him without hesitation. He looked very satisfied as if he was Philip’s devoted follower. After he swallowed the pill, his injuries healed before everyone’s eyes, and he was soon back to normal. Loony was surprised by that powerful force and trusted Philip even more. Philip set a barrier around Loony and gave him a room to rest. The barrier he set could shield Loony and buy them some time. He knew that the ugly elves were right on their tail, and it was also about time for the merfolk to find them. Philip would be in trouble if everyone showed up at the same time. Therefore, it was better to conceal Loony and take care of the thin
“I’m running out of time. I have a curse on me, and they can find my whereabouts. I’ll die if you don’t help me.” “You said you can help me escape from this world. What do you mean by that?” Philip was more interested in this topic. After all, everyone would think that the world of the gods was a good place. Why would anyone choose to leave? Unless that person was a fool. This world was full of energy and resources. If humans were not seen as outcasts, Philip could not understand why anyone would want to leave. “This world is nothing but a huge cage. Those people are unaware of it because they're trapped inside. No one knows that they're nothing but the playthings of the so-called upper gods. They’ll be abandoned once the interest wears off one day!” Hearing that, Aslan came to a conclusion. This guy was no doubt a mental patient who should be sent to the hospital for treatment. “Philip, do you believe him? I think he’s nothing but a patient from a mental asylum.” Aslan f
“What’s this vintage family?” Philip had never heard of this family in all the worlds he traveled, so he had no idea what the other party was talking about. “My family is proficient in voodoo and has always used it to embark on the path of practice. But our powerful practice makes us a prime target for those with ulterior motives too.” The people of this family were very powerful, so everyone envied them and tried to harm them. “The members of my family led a normal life back then, but later, many people were deceived into marrying people of other races. As a result, the offspring of such pairings became monsters without legs! “We'd only find one normal child among a dozen children, which is a great blow to our family. No one could accept it! “I’m the only normal child among my batch of children, so I have a distinguished status. Something happened to my family after I was born, so I’m probably the last descendant of my family.” Philip was very excited to hear the other p
Meanwhile, Philip sensed that someone was fast approaching them. “Everyone, watch out. I sense something coming for us,” Philip said warily. There was a loud knock on the door. Lyle walked over curiously and opened the door. He saw a disheveled man standing at the door and staring at him. It was a scary sight, indeed. “What the hell? Dude, don’t scare me in broad daylight! What are you doing?” Lyle cursed in fright. He never dreamed that he would see such a horrible scene. The man was covered in terrifying wounds, some so deep that the bones could be seen. He had clearly been injured for a while. His face also looked incomplete as if his flesh had been gnawed alive by something. He was just unpleasant to look at. Aslan and the others rushed over, curious to see what frightened Lyle so badly. Everyone frowned at the sight of the man, shocked by his terrifying appearance. “Whoa!” Even the talkative Aslan was at a loss for words. While he sympathized with the other party,
Sure enough, the pill was nothing special. Apart from appearing quite tasty, the pill had no other effect. It was considered a useless item. “Humans are quite good at making pills. It’d be great if I had that ability too,” Akash said eagerly. He had studied this topic with others before, but they concluded that no other race had the talent to make pills apart from humans. Philip continued chatting with Akash, all the time wondering who he was. He could easily tell whether the other person's face was real or fake. This person did not disguise himself. His face was real. “Philip, I sense something wrong,” Lyle muttered under his breath. He sensed a strange vibe. A strong fishy smell was coming from a distance. Philip immediately recognized the source of the fishy smell. Who else could it be but the ugly elves? Abele was heading to the city with her troops. They knew that attacking these people was a matter of life and death. “We need to watch out. Don’t give them a chance
At this time, Akash ran over as if he were shocked to hear that sound. “Did you hear a deafening sound just now? I felt uncomfortable all over after that as if something was staring at me!” Akash said in a panic. He was now very jittery and afraid of everything. “Don’t worry, it’s probably an explosion somewhere,” Philip said. Akash was startled as if he could not understand Philip’s meaning. “Explosion? Is it a demon? That’d be very bad!” Akash looked around anxiously, feeling nothing else but panic. “Anyway, this is strange. No one knows what’s happening, so let’s just take it one step at a time. If a demon appears, we have no choice but to face it.” Philip waved his hand, not interested in this topic. They would have to face it, come hell or high water. Akash nodded and sat drinking his cup of tea with a bad premonition lingering in his heart. “Let’s hope you’re right.” Philip sat down and felt that something was wrong with Akash’s reaction. He probably knew something
The captured elves would suffer various hardships and become the humans' pitiful plaything. To prevent it from happening again, Akash forbade his people from stepping into the outside world. Therefore, it was ironic for him to summon his people here. “Find a room and have a good rest while you wait for your people to arrive.” Philip pointed to one of the empty rooms. Akash was exhausted after a long journey. Even though he had drunk a pot of tea, his mental state was not very good. He would collapse very soon without a good rest. Akash nodded. He did not refuse Philip's kindness because he knew he could not hold on much longer. He felt very unhappy at the thought of the upcoming battle.… At this time, the place responsible for imprisoning humans was getting restless as if the barriers were weakening. “Comrades, keep it up. I can feel the barriers weakening. We can leave soon!” A man shouted, and his words motivated everyone. Everyone was excited and worked harder to bre
“That’s great. I knew that our sacred tree would never lie to me. Only you’d dare to help me in this situation.” Akash was moved to tears by Philip’s words. He never dreamed that Philip was willing to help him. “I’ll try to contact the other elf warriors and see if I can summon them. Our combat effectiveness will improve significantly with their help.” Akash went to a corner to contact the elf warriors using a special method. They would sense it if they were still alive. However, he forgot an important thing. Abele was once a member of the family and knew about it too. She could feel the call the same as other warriors. As Akash summoned the warriors, Abele smiled wickedly. She did not expect Akash to summon his people so soon. “This took no effort at all. I was thinking if I should use my bloodline to search for his trace, but he turned up right at my doorstep. How convenient.” Abele found Akash’s location but was puzzled by his choice. “Is he crazy? Why is he in the h
