However, before he could continue, Wynn shifted her body and found a more comfortable position. Then, she grabbed Philip’s waist and closed her eyes. “I’m tired.”Philip stopped talking. He held her with his right hand and the two fell into silence.It had been a long while since he was this intimate with Wynn.How should he tell Wynn about who he was?Maybe he should find another chance.Philip got out of the car and carried Wynn back to the Old Johnston Manor.Martha was excited today. She had never seen so many gold and silver jewelry before. There were also two million in cash. Martha wanted to sleep while holding the dollar bills.“Eh, you’re back? What’s wrong with Wynn?” When Martha heard the knocking on the door, she opened the door and saw Philip carrying Wynn.Philip carried Wynn into her room and removed her heels and coat for her. Then, he sat at the head of the bed with adoration in his eyes. He was watching Wynn who was sleeping soundly.Her nicely-done eyebrow
After being silent for a while, Philip threw away his cigarette. He walked out of the hospital and got into a Benz that was parked in front of the entrance.The car drove slowly in the night, passing the main road of Riverdale. Then, it crossed Scarlet Bridge and went into the darkness of the hillside. After that, it drove along the mountainous road and stopped at a manor at the peak of Mount Cirrus.Cirrus Manor.It was the most extravagant and valuable manor in Riverdale.The construction cost alone was one billion bucks!They had hollowed half of the mountain for this manor.Construction started seven years ago. It took three years to finish.A lot of manpower, resources, and money were spent on this huge project.The most mysterious thing about this manor was that no one knew who the owner of this manor was.There were rumors that the owner of this manor was extremely rich and powerful.Some powerful people even said that anyone who was a guest of the manor would be a gia
“What are you trying to do?” Philip’s face turned cold, and he started feeling anxious.He knew about Giada’s methods. This woman would not hesitate to get rid of her rivals—including her own son.When he was eight, she asked someone to run over him with a car.There was only one reason. It was because she was afraid that he might be the obstacle in her process of taking over the Clarkes.A tiger, though cruel, would not devour its cubs.However, in Giada’s eyes, power was her only priority.When Giada mentioned Philip’s marriage and his daughter, he started to panic.This was also the main reason why Philip had not exposed his identity.“Don’t worry, they’re the daughter-in-law and bloodline of the Clarkes. If you beg me, I’ll let them go.” Giada’s smile would give anyone a bone-piercing chill. It was extremely offensive.“I’m warning you, don’t you dare touch Wynn and Mila. If not, I’ll make you regret this,” Philip said coldly.Giada chuckled calmly. She took out two embro
She was Aunt Paula's only child. She was aloof and looked down on everyone.When they were young, Samantha had been jealous of Wynn. No matter what it was, she had to compare herself to Wynn."Cousin, please give us a short while. We'll be ready soon," Wynn said apologetically.Samantha raised the corners of her lips with a presumptuous look on her face. She shouted at Philip, "Get out of the way, useless piece of trash. Why are you standing there?!"Philip smiled and stepped out of her way in silence.Samantha pushed him abruptly, patted her hands on her clothes in disgust, and muttered, "You stink." After Samantha swaggered away, the entire family was not in the best mood.Martha slammed her hand on the table and started cursing, "What does Samantha mean?! What a b*tch! She dares come to my house and complain about it! What does she have to show for? Her rich husband? She even said that our house smells musty. I’m so mad!"Martha’s anger erupted like a volcano.She had anti
Samantha was so full of herself.When she saw Wynn's long face, she became even more prideful. "Wynnie, how can you let Philip buy this kind of gift for Grandpa? If you don’t have the money, you can let me know. After all, I’m your cousin."With that said, Samantha took out her LV wallet from her Gucci bag, pulled out a bank card, and handed it to Wynn. "Hey, consider this my treat. There should be at least 10,000 dollars in this card. It’s whatever was left after Frank bought me a handbag. Take it and get something decent for Grandpa. You don’t need to pay me back. This is just a small sum for me.”Samantha’s expression at that moment was full of arrogance.In her eyes, Wynn was a joke."Thanks, Samantha." Before Wynn could speak, Philip reached out and took the card from Samantha while smiling faintly.Samantha snorted and shook her head helplessly. ‘How can one be so shameless?’Wynn glared at Philip. She was just about to speak, but Philip held her hand and said with a smile
Bob did not bother to put a stop to it at all. After all, he strongly disliked Philip, so he had to teach him a lesson. That piece of trash needed to be made aware that not anyone can step into the door of the Yates family."Grandpa, it’s unsure when the others will be arriving. You should get some rest. I'll wait for them here."Eric, who was next to Bob, said that and put on a very well-behaved appearance. Usually, Eric had a cold temperament and was arrogant from head to toe.Bob nodded, looked at his little grandson fondly, and walked into the yard with the help of Eric and his walking stick that was made out of black wood inlaid with gold thread.After he sent Bob in, Eric walked out again.At this time, several youngsters stood at the door. They were all the younger generations of the Yates family."Eric, what’s the plan?"A young man, full of arrogance and dressed in expensive clothes, said.He was the youngest son of Peter Yates, the eldest of the Yates family. His name
Everyone was dumbfounded with what Philip had just said!Philip, a useless bum, dared to speak to Eric like that?That was unexpected!This good-for-nothing was fighting back!They were in the Yates Courtyard, which was ruled by the Yates family!Did he not consider the consequences of his actions?Eric's face immediately sank. He had an arrogant attitude and said angrily, "Philip, you dare berate me like that? You are a useless son-in-law of the Johnston family. Who do you think you are to talk to me like this? Who are you to be here today for Grandpa’s birthday celebration? I won't let you pass this door today! Useless piece of sh*t, who do you think you are?!"Eric was annoyed. He had not expected a good-for-nothing like Philip to berate him like that.It was an insult to him and an insult to the Yates family!Aaron immediately agreed with Eric. He pointed at Philip arrogantly and screamed, "Hurry up and apologize to Eric. Otherwise, you will not be welcomed in the Yates Co
Martha also panicked, especially when she saw Philip's furious expression just now.‘What’s with this wimp’s change of attitude recently? He even dared to talk back to me a couple of times.’Eric was beyond joyful. He had not fully pulled out his bag of tricks and the Johnston family already started fighting among themselves.It seemed that Martha really disliked Philip. He could take advantage of this.Martha glared at Philip, pulled Charles, and went into the compound.Samantha was long gone. She was by Paula's side. Her eyebrows were twitching as she observed this slapstick coldly.‘Wynn, oh Wynn, you have such a sad life. You married a good-for-nothing.’Samantha muttered a few words in her heart and was about to turn around and go in.However, when Wynn led Philip to enter, Eric stopped them again."Wynn, as I said just now, Philip is not worthy of entering the door of the Yates family!" Eric's nostrils were tilted upward. He looked very arrogant.In his eyes, Philip was
Most people would be freaked out at the sight of his face. He took out a photo from his pocket and held it in his hand angrily. “Argent, you've enjoyed your life long enough. It’s time to get what you deserve.” The mysterious man smiled cruelly with obvious hatred for Argent. This whole incident had nothing to do with Philip at all. Philip was simply a pitiful pawn in these people’s hands. Philip never dreamed that someone would target him for no reason. He just wanted to improve his strength. He could not care less about what other people thought of him.… Time passed quickly. The next day, Philip did not expect these people to come after him so soon. He just wanted to have a good rest and find a suitable place to settle down, but these people were as annoying as pesky flies. “Philip, get out here at once. I want to see how strong you are. How dare you show off in front of me?” Argent yelled at Philip’s door in disdain. His right hand was bandaged tightly as if he was still
The mysterious man forced himself to contain his anger and smile at Argent. Argent knew that he had to stop asking for more. At this point, what was the most important? “I can give you Philip’s address, and we can deal with him tomorrow morning. If you teach him a good lesson, I’m sure he’ll listen to you,” Argent said smugly. His plan was simple. He wanted to use the other party to deal with Philip. Philip had messed with him earlier and crippled his right hand. He would have died if he had not stopped the bleeding in time. Therefore, the grudge between him and Philip was so deep that he could not wait to rip Philip into pieces. Argent and the mysterious man who refused to reveal his name quickly came up with a plan. “In that case, I’ll see you again tomorrow morning. I hope you won't let me down.” After saying this, the mysterious man zoomed into the distance and soon disappeared. Seeing the other party’s hasty retreat, Argent was full of disdain. “Hehe, you think too hig
“Wow, you guys are so generous to send me such a precious gift this time. Tell me more about the deal you want to discuss with me. If it’s up to my expectations, I can consider it.” Argent's mood changed for the better. He smiled brightly and did not consider other possibilities. He seemed to have forgotten the conflict and resentment he had toward Philip. “We know that a young heroic man has appeared in Deadly Arena this time. We’re very interested in him and have decided to recruit him. I heard that you fought him before. I wonder if he's as powerful as I imagined.” The other party did not introduce himself but looked at Argent with a smile. Argent scowled. He thought that this matter was over, but this guy brought it up again. He was obviously trying to belittle him. “Hehe, let’s forget it. I don’t have much of an opinion about Philip. He’s just an average person, nothing worth mentioning.” Argent was afraid of exposing his shame, so he tried to tarnish Philip’s reputati
After confirming that he could leave safely, Argent ran away quickly, unwilling to stay a second longer. Philip was so terrifying that he wanted to keep his distance from him. Argent simply wanted to rob Philip of his treasures, but he was seriously injured instead. He could not accept it. Argent quickly ran back home. He had settled down with his family after such a long time. Given his strength, no one refused his requests. Argent’s family members simply wanted to follow someone strong, so they did not mind doing anything. In the meantime, an uninvited guest appeared at Argent’s home. He did not make an appointment with Argent in advance, so Argent did not know him. When Argent returned home in a mess, they bumped into each other. “I’m surprised to see the head of the family looking so miserable. I’m here at the right time.” The man stared at Argent mockingly as if he was enjoying the show. Argent was annoyed by his reaction, angry that an outsider had seen him in his most mi
Argent felt fear grip him. Philip’s earlier action was terrifying, as if he could grab his soul with a wave of his hand. Philip laughed at Argent’s hasty retreat, amused by his cowardice. “I just wanted to scare you. There's no need to dodge so quickly,” he said with a chuckle. Argent was furious by Philip’s shameless prank. Although he was angry, Argent had to give up his absurd plan when he thought of Philip's strength. Philip was not to be trifled with. He had to watch out. Before he could slip away and mess with Philip another day, Philip grabbed his right hand abruptly, leaving him no time to react. Argent’s right hand lost all sensation as if it had been crippled. He looked down at his right hand in a panic and was shocked to find that his right arm had vanished. “What the hell is going on? How could you do this to me?” He was shocked that Philip could break his defense so easily and cripple him. He was a force to be reckoned with, and not everyone could go against hi
Argent was nothing more than average, but he was so full of himself. Philip felt that he might be inferior to the other party in that aspect. “All the rewards are in my hands. If you really want them, you can try to defeat me and take them away. Otherwise, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to get them with your strength.” Philip smiled at him. Although this guy was quite strong, he was no match for Philip. “I entered the top 100 of the advanced list when I was at your age. You’re nothing to me. Stop showing off in front of me.” A trace of disdain flashed across Argent’s face. He was clearly looking down on Philip. Philip nodded. This old man was very full of himself. His strength was undeniable, but it was nothing compared to Philip’s. “I heard that you don’t belong to a guild. Don't you feel ashamed? It’s a pity that no one is willing to take you in.” Philip smiled brightly. He said this on purpose to snub Argent. Argent was furious to hear Philip mocking him for this. He
After hearing Philip’s remarks, the guy trembled in anger. His name was Argent, nicknamed Silver Snake. He first came into contact with a practice technique when he was a teenager. As he did not know anything, he simply practiced the technique on his own. Unexpectedly, there was a problem with this technique. His height remained what it was in his teens, but his appearance became old. At first, he thought that he would always look like a teenager, but his appearance gradually became old and terrifying. No matter where he went after that, people would treat him as an old man even though he was only in his early 40s. Thinking of this, he felt sorry for himself, and his hatred for Philip deepened. Not only did his appearance change, but his practice level also slowly dropped to rock bottom. His mind gradually became more and more twisted because of this. Then, he stumbled into a cave and received a heritage by chance. The heritage was evil, but it helped him improve his practice
Philip nodded at the other party’s grace. “Not bad, that young man is quite decent.” Even though the other party was a middle-aged man, Philip called him a young man. Philip knew that someone else would approach him very soon. He could use this opportunity to find out more about the force behind the other party. He quickly reserved the inn and wandered around the streets. He wanted to see how many people were following him. Everyone had their own agenda and was up to no good. Philip soon saw a sneaky old man who did not seem to pose any threat. The old man looked at Philip thoughtfully with a hint of ridicule, which gave Philip an unpleasant feeling. “You should know the purpose of my visit. Do I need to elaborate?” the old man cut to the chase. Philip shook his head helplessly at the old man’s arrogance. The old man in front of him was quite powerful or he would not have been so arrogant. He thought he could deal with Philip easily with his strength. “You’re obviousl
Philip was surprised to hear that. “So, my performance was so outstanding that they can't wait to get rid of me.” Philip glanced at Duncan. Since he was not here for his money, there was no problem. Besides, he did not seem like a bad guy. “I have a job to do. I have to fulfill my responsibilities and obligations, so I need to report the situation truthfully.” Duncan knew he could not deal with Philip, so he had to find another way to negotiate with him. “If you promise not to take part in another match, I can consider letting you go for the time being. That way, I can go back and report my findings too.” He did not mention his men whom Philip took down as if they were not important at all. “Of course, I can’t agree to that. This isn’t as simple as you think. The people behind Deadly Arena won’t let me off so easily. Don’t worry about that,” Philip said with a smile. Since he knew that Duncan was from Deadly Arena, there was nothing more to say. Philip knew that Lyle
