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
Carlos thought Philip would do something to him, but Philip simply handed him something he took out of his pocket. “Try practicing this technique.” After Philip handed him the item, he stared at Carlos, waiting for the result. Carlos was relieved to hear it. He had thought Philip was going to do something to him, but it turned out that Philip simply wanted Carlos to try a technique out. Carlos smiled and shook his head. “We can’t practice other techniques different from our own unless someone can make improvements to our existing technique. Only then do we have the chance to learn something new. But do you know how difficult it is to improve a technique?” Carlos smiled helplessly. Their people had been trying to improve their technique forever. After all, the side effects of the technique were simply annoying, but it was easier said than done. Their predecessors had been studying it for years but to no avail. They had no choice but to give up. Now, only one elder was resp
“Since she’s one of your people, she can stay, but don’t try to do anything,” Philip said. Philip glanced at the holy maiden. Before he could say anything else, something appeared in his mind. It was the technique she practiced. Philip had no idea what happened. He had merely glanced at her when her technique appeared in his mind. Although it was weird, Philip did not think it was a bad thing. Instead, he was happy. He knew that it was a special ability. Thinking of this, Philip was in a good mood. He went back to his room after excusing himself. He wanted to study the technique carefully. It would be best if he could discover something. The holy maiden watched indignantly as Philip left. Jamie knew that Celeste’s biggest advantage was her looks. She was so beautiful that the holy maiden felt the pressure. “Stay here with peace of mind and treat it as your own home. No need for formalities,” Celeste said to them with a smile as if she were the mistress of the house. Jam
Philip waved his hand. That was not what he meant. At this time, Celeste walked out of her room. She had fallen in love with cooking and always immersed herself in the kitchen, figuring out different recipes. In the past, Celeste lived alone in the gloomy forest without freedom or friends. After meeting Philip, she became more vibrant. Celeste would feel a sense of achievement whenever Philip ate the food she cooked. Seeing her, Philip greeted Celeste and introduced the visitors to her. “I don’t need a maid. I already have someone to take care of the household chores. Thank you for your kindness,” Philip said with a smile. Celeste had been doing a good job, so Philip did not think he needed another woman to take care of him. The more women around, the more trouble there would be. The holy maiden froze in surprise at the sight of such a beautiful woman around Philip. Although she was not ugly, she had to live with this ugly appearance until her marriage because of that nas
“That’s enough. Stop talking about me. You might as well think about how to deal with Hogster and the others. The Hexa Guild will definitely come after you.” Philip greeted Jamie calmly without taking the incident seriously at all. Seeing his reaction, Jamie thought that Philip was more and more unfathomable. The Hexa Guild was making a big fuss over this case. Many guilds had accepted the Hexa Guild’s gifts and now stood in opposition to the Celestial Palace. Although this matter had nothing to do with those guilds at all, they accepted the Hexa Guild's gifts in exchange for hyping the news up. It would be best if the two guilds fought. Maybe they could take advantage of the situation in the process! The other major guilds were waiting to watch the excitement too. They hoped that the Celestial Palace would be affected by this incident and it would maybe result in them losing the guild competition. Philip was also quite interested in the guild competition but was more curious
“Vanna mentioned that you enjoy drinking, so I prepared some fine wine for you.” Ronan said it so smoothly that he must have practiced it. Jamie was surprised to see Ronan taking a bottle of wine from his pocket, not at the wine itself. It proved that Ronan had a storage space. Thinking of this, Jamie felt better. Since Ronan had a storage space, he had to have a strong backing. Carlos had determined from various aspects that Ronan was a man with good character. In that case, Jamie had nothing more to worry about, and he could feel at ease again. “We’re about to hold a competition between the guilds. You can join us if you’re interested. Since you’re already part of us, you should do your best. If you can win the competition, I’ll consider officially acknowledging your identity.” Jamie seemed like a gentle and easygoing person. Ronan was excited by his words. He never dreamed that he would have the opportunity to be acknowledged. Ronan thought that he was unworthy of Vann
Jamie was startled. He never thought that someone would speak to him in this manner. With his high and mighty status, everyone spoke to him politely except Carlos. He was not used to someone treating him so frivolously. “I'm here to look for someone,” Jamie said with a smile. The rabbit meant no harm, so Jamie did not have to act like a domineering guild leader. Rabbit stepped aside. “Of course, I know you’re here to look for someone. There’s no other reason to be here otherwise. It's just a matter of whether you can see them.” Rabbit hopped away. He just wanted to see if it was a good or bad guy. After all, troublemakers would be taught a good lesson. Carlos walked out calmly with a teacup. He had fallen for the taste of tea. Philip’s tea was simply perfect. He would feel a fluctuation in his strength after drinking it. He was ecstatic at the discovery and was unwilling to return to the guild now. Taking a sip, he realized that someone familiar was standing at the door and
“I’m surprised that the Celestial Palace would be so shameless. Since they refuse to do things my way, they shouldn't blame me for doing this.” Alain decided to make good use of this incident to guilt-trip the Celestial Palace. He told his people to spread the news of the Celestial Palace to the public. All of a sudden, everyone knew that the young lady of the Celestial Palace had married another man without consent. The incident caused an uproar, and everyone was talking about it. It was one of the most explosive pieces of news in the world of practitioners. The Celestial Palace was a large guild that valued the personal conduct of their guild members. A member would be punished for doing such a thing, but their young lady had rebelliously chosen to be with a man of unknown origins. The news was all hyped up, and everyone waited to watch the excitement. Of course, the people of the Celestial Palace heard the news too. The guild leader scowled upon receiving it. He did not th
Sure enough, Alain was very angry. He stared at Dennis in disbelief, surprised at his defeat. “How did you end up losing? Is he really as strong as the rumors said? I refuse to believe that a little brat can bring you any harm!" Alain subconsciously felt that Dennis had not done his best. Alain was sure that Dennis was being overdramatic. Dennis had always been a powerful god of war. This unexpected outcome was simply impossible. Thus, he felt that Dennis had not done his best to fulfill his duty. “Although I only exchanged one move with that young man, I could easily tell his level. I could feel that he’s more talented than Hogster. I believe it’ll be a great help for us if we can take him under our wing.” Dennis was doing it for the benefit of the guild. It would be an advantage to the guild if they could get Ronan. However, his words infuriated Alain instead. He was angry at Dennis’ stupid suggestion. “Ronan is clearly not the same as us. No matter how strong he is, he
Although Dennis could not be bothered with Hogster, he had to fight for the chance to recruit Ronan. However, Ronan shook his head. “I already have Philip, so you can forget about it. So, do you still want to fight? I don't mind showing you my strength.” Ronan had simply executed a casual move just now, so it could not be considered a full-blown display of his powers. If Dennis still wanted to fight, he would oblige. Dennis shook his head. He could clearly tell that he was no match for Ronan. Although he wanted to teach Ronan a lesson, he would only end up tragically if he went ahead with it. He did not doubt that Ronan could easily crush him. “Please excuse our intrusion today.” Dennis bowed to Ronan and left without another word. He did not want to stay in this unpleasant place any longer. He was the third elder, a person of high status. Not to mention suffering an easy defeat, but he also had to apologize to the person who defeated him, which was simply woeful. The perso
