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
The next second. Winston saw that at some point, Philip had already broken through the encirclement of dozens of bodyguards. He knocked the two bodyguards in front of him unconscious with the deformed anti-riot baton in his hand! Swish! The baton in Philip’s hand smashed over Winston’s head! At this moment, Philip’s cold intent raged with a monstrous killing aura! Behind him were all defeated bodyguards who had fallen to the floor. None of them could get up again. Winston was flustered. With cold sweat on his forehead, he stared at the anti-riot baton in Philip’s hand. He was afraid that Philip would punch a hole in his head the next second. Gulp! Winston swallowed nervously as sweat poured from his forehead. Suppressing the fear in his heart, he said solemnly, “Young man, you really have some skills, but do you dare make a move against me right here? Look behind you.” Philip did not turn. He knew that a group of bodyguards in black suits had gathered behind him. De
Philip turned his head and looked at Winston from above. His face was contorted in pain. Philip said, “You really don’t know what’s good for you. Even at this point, you’re still thinking of using power to suppress others. Do you reckon I’d think of leaving after doing all this?” After saying that, Philip went over and stomped fiercely on Winston’s arm! Crack! The sound of bones shattering resounded throughout the entire conference hall! Winston’s whole body jerked in pain and he fell to the floor while howling miserably. The employees around as well as the group of bodyguards trembled with fear and trepidation. This was the fifth master of the previous generation of the Dunley family! He had a high status in the Dunley family! At this moment, he was actually being treated like this by a young man. It was like messing with a hornet's nest! “Philip, you’re dead! Damn you!” Winston roared angrily due to the pain in his body. “My Dunley family will definitely not let you
“It’s simple.” Philip folded his arms across his chest and said with a smile, “Contact your patriarch and tell him that Philip Clarke wants to see him.” Hiss! Instantly, everyone gasped! What did he say? He wanted to see the patriarch of the Dunley family? That was simply wishful thinking! Did he not realize what an unfathomable existence the patriarch of the Dunley family was? Was he worthy to meet the patriarch of the Dunley family? The leader of the bodyguards immediately rebuked, “Dream on! Is the patriarch of the Dunley family someone you can meet so easily? Who do you think you are? How dare you demand to see him?” Philip shrugged and said, “In that case, there’s nothing else to discuss, right?” Having said that, he lowered his eyes to look at Winston, who lay on the floor. “Winston Dunley, this isn’t my fault. It seems that you don’t carry enough weight in this matter. You can only blame the Dunley family for not taking your life seriously enough.” After sa
At Spencer’s appearance, everyone in Dunley Group breathed a sigh of relief. He was like a tranquilizer. Anywhere he appeared, there was nothing that he could not deal with! “Fourth Master!” “Master Spencer!” At once, the crowd gave way and bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man who entered the building. With a calm face and his hands behind his back, Spencer walked through the crowd before stopping two meters in front of Philip. He first glanced at Winston who was already in a sorry state before scrutinizing Philip. Silence! Everyone was as quiet as a dormouse! They were all looking at Spencer. Philip frowned and raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him. Sure enough, as Maia said, Spencer Dunley had the air of a literati. He looked very elegant. Could such a person be the initiator of the Dunley family’s reform? Maia was nervous as well. Although she had met Spencer once before, it was only in passing. Now that she was
Hector was truly frightened. Who would have thought that a person he had casually messed with would turn out to have such a formidable background? Milo was kneeling as well. He kept bowing and shouting, “I beg for Young Master Clarke’s forgiveness!” Seeing the three people kneeling in front of him, Philip chuckled and raised his eyebrow. He looked at Spencer and asked, “Do you already know who I am?” Spencer smiled and replied, “From the moment you stepped foot in Flower City, I already knew, Young Master Clarke.” Hearing that, Philip frowned. Spencer Dunley was very terrifying, indeed. He already knew his identity from the moment he stepped foot in Flower City. However, he just left Homer and Milo, as well as Winston, to their own devices. He had to say that it was a good scheme and a good tactical play. Was he trying to test Philip’s strength and limits so he could use that to gauge the limits of the Clarke family? Perhaps he was trying to borrow the hands of othe
Philip frowned. Never would he have expected his father, who had always stood behind the scenes, to personally call him for this case involving the Dunley family. Philip looked at Spencer who was calm with a smile on his face and asked into the phone, “Why?” On the other end of the phone, the old voice said, “The Dunley family of Charbury is a pawn to maintain balance. If you make a move against the Dunley family, the balance will be broken and the following situations will be difficult to control. Listen to me and go home. I’ll take care of the rest.” Philip’s face was slightly cold. After a long silence, he said, “I got it.” After saying that, Philip ended the call. He looked at Spencer very seriously before he lifted his foot and left Dunley Group with Maia. However, Philip said as he walked, “The Dunley family of Flower City will be taken over by the Clarke family. This is the price.” Spencer frowned and was silent for a moment but did not say anything in the end. It
On the other end of the line, Fennel asked, “Did you go to Charbury?” “Yeah, to deal with some things.” Philip responded before asking, “How much do you know about Spencer Dunley?” “Have you met Spencer Dunley?” On the other end of the line, Fennel sounded surprised. Philip frowned. Listening to Fennel’s tone, he seemed to know Spencer. “It was a draw. My father stepped in. For the time being, I can’t touch the Dunley family. Besides, the other party didn’t step out of line,” Philip said with a light smile. Fennel was silent for a moment and said, “Philip, you really can’t touch Spencer at the moment. Do you know who he is?” Philip raised his eyebrow and said with a frown, “The second person in charge of the Dunley family. Is that wrong?” Fennel replied, “You’re wrong. Spencer’s identity is not just as simple as the second person in charge of the Dunley family.” “He has other identities?” Philip asked in surprise. “He’s a disciple of the door.” Fennel dropped the bo
“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
