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,
“What? A loss of ten billion dollars?!” Winston yelled as he felt the world spinning around him. He slumped back on the sofa. The several assistants were trembling all over! The female assistant in the office hurriedly took out quick-acting heart-reliever pills for Winston. After catching his breath with much difficulty, Winston’s face grew tense. While exuding a biting chill, he roared, “Cut them off! Cut off all the merged partners! We can’t let the loss grow bigger!” After saying this, Winston held his forehead, his face looking exceedingly pale. At the same time, he also remembered the phone that was on the coffee table. He quickly picked it up and said angrily into the phone, “Philip, did you plan all of this?” On the other end of the phone, Philip’s faint mocking laugh could be heard. He said, “Winston, as I just said, be careful of getting indigestion. This loss of ten billion dollars should be enough of a lesson to you, right?” After hearing these words, Winston
“Mr. Dunley, things are not looking good. The information we found out about Philip seems to be wrong. This Clarke family of Riversouth is not as simple as we thought. No matter what we do to them, they can retaliate accurately and also block our trade and business.” An assistant panicked at this moment and quickly reported to Winston. Winston became solemn when he heard that. He rushed into the work area and glanced at their computer screens and the analysis report. Ten billion dollars had been used to tackle the Clarke family. However, not only were they unable to recover the ten billion dollars but the money was firmly trapped in the market by the other party! “What the hell is going on? Aren't you guys known as the best market regulators? Why is this happening?” Winston was angry and asked the question with a roar. One of the managers quickly stepped forward and explained, “Mr. Dunley, the situation has changed. We have to re-investigate everything about the Clarke fami
Hearing Philip’s name, Winston nearly blew his top. He turned around and shouted, “How dare he come here? He’s a brat who doesn’t know his limits! I want to see how amazing he is to dare challenge the Dunley family!” After saying that, Winston quickly led a dozen people to the conference hall on the first floor of the building! At this moment, Philip was sitting leisurely on the sofa, sipping the coffee brewed by the receptionist. Maia Harp, the woman with a glamorous figure, stood respectfully beside him. This woman was the focus wherever she went. Her straight and slender legs, coupled with her curvy waist and hips, made many male employees drool. Winston brought a large group of people with him and soon came to the front. His gaze was instantly locked on Philip who was sitting on the sofa while sipping coffee. Then, his eyes shifted to Maia who was next to him. Maia Harp? Why was this woman here too? Winston knew Maia. She was a strong career woman in Hampton, Cha
The Dunley family was the most elite family in Charbury! They were even ranked at the top in the country! Even the strength of some hidden affluent families might not be able to compare to the Dunley family! To be exact, the Dunley family was ranked among the eight major families in the country! Moreover, the strength of the Dunley family was already on a par with the Wallis family of Golden City. A year ago, the Wallis family of Golden City was recognized as the number one family in the country. Of course, these so-called rankings did not include the Clarke family of Arcadia Island. After all, the Clarke family of Arcadia Island was an existence not generally known by ordinary people. Naturally, the power of the Clarke family was also not known to others. The public knew about the Wallis and Denver families of Golden City, the Dunley family of Charbury, the Harrison family of Glenford, the Joo, Williams, and Jackman families of the capital city, and the Larson family o
Hehe. Winston snorted and said, “Apologize to my man and pay 20 billion dollars in medical compensation. If you do that, we’ll move on from this matter. Otherwise, don’t dream of walking out of Dunley Group today!” After saying that, Winston’s face was full of sneers. Hearing this, the assistant behind Winston was immediately moved to tears and exclaimed, “Mr. Dunley…” It turned out that Mr. Dunley valued him that much. Winston looked back at the assistant and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle this matter for you.” Then, he looked at Philip and asked, “Isn’t this a reasonable request?” Philip chuckled and said, “Winston, you really know how to do business. You’re demanding 20 billion dollars for one slap. Do you really think that I’m a pushover and you have the upper hand against me?” This old man came up with a good plan. Winston laughed and said, “From the moment you stepped into Dunley Group, your outcome was already decided. Young man, you’re too arrogant and can’t
However, how could that be? Was he not a member of the Clarke family in Riversouth? For a moment, Winston was flustered! If Philip was really the young master of an affluent family, Winston was essentially digging his own grave! Of course, it would also explain why every move he made against Philip had ended in failure. Was there a mistake in the information they found? However, now that he was caught between a rock and a hard place, Winston could not give up so easily. He could only fight to the end! Thus, Winston snorted and said to Philip coldly, “It’s interesting that you could get Maia Harp to assist you. Even so, I still stand by my word. The Dunley family of Charbury is not an existence you can easily mess with. Now, immediately pay up 20 billion dollars and apologize on your knees. I’ll let you go after you do that!” Philip shrugged helplessly and shook his head as he said, “It seems that there’s nothing else to discuss between us. In that case, be prepared fo
At Winston’s command, a dozen bodyguards in black suits immediately surrounded Philip and Maia. They held anti-riot batons in their hands! Winston stood outside the encirclement with a sneer on his face. He could already imagine the next scene of Philip begging for mercy. Anyone who dared to make a move against the Dunley family was simply looking for death! Maia was also full of chills. She immediately shielded Philip behind her, assumed a fighting stance, and said, “Young Master, let me take it from here. You find the opportunity to run. Don’t turn back!” Philip was startled and looked at Maia’s graceful back. At this moment, she had assumed a fighting stance and it displayed her attractive figure—especially her curves that would make any man take a second look. “It’s okay, I can handle this myself. It’s just a dozen bodyguards. I haven’t done this for a long time anyway.” Philip suddenly reached out and gently patted Maia on the shoulder before pulling her behind him. He
“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
