“Okay, we’ll leave this to you,” Milo said before he hung up the phone respectfully. At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief. With a triumphant smile, he said to Homer, “Homer, it’s settled. With Uncle Winston taking action, this matter will come to an end at last.” Homer also let out a breath of relief and fell heavily on the sofa, covered in a cold sweat. It was finally resolved. With Uncle Winston around, no matter how capable Philip was, he should not think of making any waves in Hampton! On the side, Hector also burst out in laughter and said, “Dad, I already told you that everything will be fine. With Fifth Grandpa around, who can do anything to the Dunley family of Flower City?” As he said that, he sat on the sofa swaggeringly, crossed his legs, and picked up an apple to munch on. Homer glared at him fiercely and shouted angrily, “From today onward, you’ll be grounded at home for three months! After this matter is resolved, I’ll send you out of the country!”
The car quickly drove away and headed to the Dunley Group building. In the car, Philip dialed Jowin Benson’s number and asked, “Do you know Winston Dunley?” Jowin was dealing with Fred’s affairs in Flower City at the moment. When he received the call from Philip, he quickly replied, “Winston Dunley? Young Master Clarke, this person is an important figure in the main Dunley family with quite a bit of influence in Hampton. He’s the fifth uncle of Sterling Dunley, the current patriarch of the Dunley family. He's also the current head of the Dunley family of Flower City, the backer behind Homer and Milo Dunley, as well as their uncle.” Philip nodded and said, “Okay, I got it.” Then, he ended the call and said to the man next to him who was on the computer, “Can you contact Winston Dunley?” The computer expert replied, “Yes, one minute.” A minute later, Philip got Winston’s number and made the call directly. The phone rang a few times before it was connected. An old voice from
Hearing that, Winston scowled. At this moment, he had entered the building of the Dunley Group. He took the gilded private elevator and went straight to the upper floor of the building. Of course, it was not the topmost floor. The top floor was the office of Sterling Dunley, the patriarch of the entire Dunley family. His office was on four floors below the top. In fact, the floor level of the Dunley Group building represented the hierarchical status and identity of the owner of the floor in the main Dunley family. Winston Dunley, as the fifth uncle of the patriarch of the main Dunley family, had a lot of status and influence in the Dunley family. Moreover, he was mainly in charge of the Dunley family’s foreign trade and export. At this moment, Winston walked out of the elevator and pushed open the gilded door of his office. He was angry, and with a sneer on his face, he walked to the French windows where he took a cup of coffee from the maid. He said solemnly, “Young man,
“Immediately send some people to Hampton by any means necessary. Whether by air or land, send the most elite combatants and have them use the most advanced equipment. Make sure to protect the young master's safety! If anything happens to him, I’ll hold all of you accountable!” George shouted coldly before hanging up the phone. Just at this moment, one of his subordinates was staring at the computer before he got up and reported, “Mr. Thomas, the other party is trying to use their power to collect information about the young master.” George sneered and said, “Hehe, this bunch of small fries have no idea what real power is! Do people like them have the right to dig out information about the young master? Wishful thinking! Spread out false information about the young master!” “Yes!” Very quickly, everyone started operating. Ten minutes later, Winston’s people found first-hand information about Philip. “Mr. Winston, we got it!” an employee stood up excitedly and exclaimed. Wi
At the entrance of the Dunley Group building, the people who followed Winston out were all dumbfounded as they stared at the scene in front of them! A casket! A very good casket! Was it for Winston Dunley? Who had the audacity to do that? How dare they send a casket to Winston, the fifth uncle of the Dunley family’s patriarch? Hiss! At the scene, everyone looked shocked and no one dared to make a sound. That was because at this moment, Winston’s expression was so cold and his hands were tightly clenched into fists. With his eyes wide open, he stared at the casket placed in front of him. After a while, he suddenly laughed and said, “Very well, this is interesting. A junior actually dares to send such a generous gift to an old man like me. Very interesting, indeed! It has been many years since someone dares to mess with me like this!” After saying that, Winston sneered menacingly. He turned around, waved his hand, and said to the attendants behind him, “Immediately la
Philip turned around, looked at the woman, and said with a smile, “Old George has told me about you. You’ve been very capable.” Maia Harp was the Clarke family’s person in charge of Hampton and also the chief president in Charbury, as arranged by the Clarke family. She was only 28 years old this year but she was already a successful career woman. She was in charge of all the Clarke family’s businesses and staffing arrangements in Charbury. She may be a woman but she was more capable than a man! Otherwise, the Clarke family would not have appointed her as the chief president of the Charbury region. “Thank you for the compliment, Young Master.” Maia smiled, her eyebrows arching like half-crescents. She added, “Butler Thomas has already briefed me about the purpose of your visit to Hampton this time. I’ll definitely carry out your arrangements. Please rest assured in giving me your orders.” Philip nodded and asked, “How much do you know about the Dunley family in Charbury?”
Spencer Dunley. Philip frowned and fell silent. He turned around and looked at the Dunley Group building that seemed to shoot up into the sky. It seemed that he could almost see a figure standing behind a window somewhere on the highest floor, looking back at him too. “If I make a move against the Dunley family, what are my chances of winning?” Philip asked. Maia frowned and thought for a moment before saying, “Based on the assets and personnel you can currently use, only 40%. After all, this is the Dunley family of Charbury, not the Clarke family of Arcadia Island. The strength and power of the Clarke family are weakened by half here. Besides, the Clarke family has a cooperative relationship with the Dunley family. I’m afraid the elders in the family won’t agree if you want to take action against the Dunley family.” “Only 40%?” Philip’s eyes were cold, and there was slight displeasure in his tone. “What if I bypass the Clarke family and strike out against the Dunley family
At that very moment, Philip’s phone rang. It was a call from George. His respectful voice sounded from the other end of the phone. “Young Master, Winston has made a move against the Clarke family in Riversouth and already monopolized half of their partners. Should we continue with the next plan?” “Go ahead,” Philip said coldly. George quickly responded and said, “Young Master, do listen to my advice. For the time being, don’t target the Dunley family. Wait for the people I’ve arranged to arrive in Hampton before you—” However, before George could finish his words, Philip interrupted him and said, “I don’t have much time. Hurry up.” “Yes.” George was helpless. He ended the call and said to the subordinates around him, “Let’s begin.” Not long after Philip ended the call, he received a call from Winston. As soon as the call was connected, Winston's hearty laughter sounded from the other end. He said, “Young man, I’ve received your generous gift. I like it very much. For this,
“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
