Mandy furrowed her eyebrows before raising them. The corners of her mouth revealed faint disdain as she said, “I’m not backing off. What can you do to me?” She crossed her arms over her chest, and her figure was perfect. She was full of mature charm. Coupled with the confidence on her face, she certainly gave others the feeling that she had this in the bag. Philip nodded and laughed lightly before saying, “I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you. If I’m not mistaken, you have to invite me out in a moment.” “Invite you out?” Mandy was taken aback before she smiled mockingly and said, “Philip Clarke, you’re very cocky. Who do you think you are? I have to invite you out? Hehe, you overestimate yourself!” For the first time, Mandy felt that this guy named Philip was really hopelessly arrogant! She was the future master of Griffin Pavilion and had a distinguished status. In the Nonagon, she was also the Queen of Flames sought after by countless people! Now, a person like him wa
It was impossible for her to call him ‘Daddy’! It would be too humiliating! However, an angry rebuke immediately came from the phone. “Mandy Una, I’m your mother and the master of Griffin Pavilion. How dare you disobey my orders? Release him immediately! Whatever the other party wants you to do, you must do it!” Mandy looked flustered. This was the first time her mother scolded her like this. After a while, Mandy hung up the phone. Her face was very sullen, and her eyes were full of indignation and resentment. Philip chuckled and asked, “Well, why don’t you try saying ‘Daddy’, Miss Una?” Seeing Philip’s triumphant and cocky posture, Mandy was extremely annoyed. She squeezed her fists hatefully and said, “Let’s go!” “Wait a minute!” Philip shouted. Instantly, Garth’s Snapdragon squad and the combatants quickly surrounded Mandy and the others! “Have you already forgotten the bet we made just now?” Philip smiled lightly with a taunting expression in his eyes. Mandy was
Everyone heard her shout. Ethan was the first to laugh out loud. Mandy glared angrily before turning around and leaving the place on her high heels. Philip glanced at Mandy as she left, and the smile on his face slowly turned grim. “Brother, what are your plans for the next step?” Ethan walked over, putting away his cynical attitude. “Look into the people behind her. Griffin Pavilion of the Nonagon, well done. I’ll remember you,” Philip sneered. Ethan nodded and responded, “No problem. Count on me.” Philip nodded and turned to Garth. He bowed slightly and said with a smile, “Grand Commander Santos, I’m sorry to have troubled you.” Garth was flattered and quickly said with a bow, “Mr. Clarke, you’re too kind. Had Supreme Williams not contacted me personally, I wouldn't have known that these fools under my command had actually arrested you.” Philip frowned and asked, “Teacher?” Garth nodded and said with a smile, “Yes, Supreme Williams contacted me personally. It can be
Victor rushed up to greet Philip even though he still needed someone to support him. It seemed that Victor was hurt badly by Hal Weiss’ kick. He hurriedly said to Philip, “Young Master Clarke, you’re back.” Philip nodded and asked, “Is Madam asleep?” Victor shook his head and said, “No, Madam has been worried about your safety.” Philip responded and said to Ethan who was full of excitement behind him, “Let’s go and meet your sister-in-law.” Ethan replied happily. He was now a bird out of a cage and could not wait to have fun. Victor glanced at Ethan next to Philip and immediately nodded respectfully. Ethan smiled, patted Victor on the shoulder, and said, “Thanks for your hard work.” Then, Philip led Ethan upstairs. Inside the hotel suite, Wynn was jittery like a cat on a hot tin roof. She was calling contacts everywhere, but there was no news at all. Lydia Jensen kept Wynn company in the room, constantly comforting her while saying, “Sister Wynn, don’t worry. Brother
The Lovelace family? Hearing this name, Philip’s heart jolted! There were survivors in the Lovelace family? Moreover, they had found their way here! Philip’s face instantly became extremely unpleasant as he asked Lydia, “Are you sure my father-in-law and mother-in-law met up with two strange people?” Lydia nodded vigorously, took out her phone from her pocket, and said, “I even took photos. Look.” With that said, Lydia found the photos she had secretly taken. Philip glanced at the phone and saw several photos of an unfamiliar man and a woman. Charles and Martha seemed to be sending them off. It could be seen from the photos that Charles and Martha looked very unhappy! Philip frowned and said to Lydia, “You’ve worked hard these days. Don’t tell your Sister Wynn about this, understand?” Lydia naturally understood. She nodded cleverly and said with a smile, “Brother Philip, I’m not stupid. I know what to do. But after they met the two strangers, Martha approached Sister
After staying with Wynn for a while, Philip went to the hospital to visit Anne. She was still in a coma but all indicators were good and she would wake up soon. After all, he had hired the best medical team in the world. Several medical experts and masters were very respectful and polite upon seeing Philip. They chatted for a long while. After half an hour, Philip came out of the hospital and stood at the entrance, looking at the beautiful sunset and weather. He would like to spend his life in a small town just like this, accompanied by Wynn and their children. He wanted to grow old together with them. However, with everything that happened recently, there were obviously a few big hands in the dark seeming to be plotting something, flipping the dials of time. Philip also felt many things engulfing him. It seemed that he could only find out everything after he returned to Arcadia Island and met his father. Yes, it was time to go back. Looking at the sky, Philip took ou
Connor and the other two were slightly surprised at that announcement. Philip was going back? Connor’s face darkened as his grip on his cane tightened. He said mockingly, “Philip, do you really think you can return safely?” Philip shrugged and said, “What do you think?” Connor merely laughed without saying anything. Behind him, Levi seemed anxious and shouted at Philip angrily, “So what if you return? The branch family is still the branch family. No matter how long your hands may stretch, the main family cannot interfere with the branch family!” Levi was actually very worried about Philip’s return. If that happened, would that not mean he was going to inherit the main family and the entire Clarke family? He had not been back for almost seven years. With his return now, how many people would be plotting in the dark? Levi would never allow this to happen, and the branch family would never allow Philip to go back like this! Philip glanced at Levi with a sneer and said, “
“Philip Clarke, how dare you hit me? I definitely won’t…” Levi clutched his stomach and snarled, his face turning blue. However, before he could finish his threatening words, Philip went over and stepped on his head so hard that Levi's cheek was crushed against the carpet! Instantly, he felt as if his cheek was crushed by a tractor. His head was aching as if it was about to explode! Pain! The pain was excruciating! “Ouch! It hurts… Philip, remove your foot!” Levi’s whole body fluttered like a chick being stepped on. His face was flushed, and his eyes were bloodshot. This scene naturally made Connor and Allen furious! “Outrageous! Philip, let go of Levi immediately!” Connor got up and pointed his cane at Philip while roaring angrily. Next to him, Allen also yelled, “Philip, Levi is the eldest young master of the branch family. By being so rough on him and torturing him, I’ll definitely complain about you in front of the chieftain and Roger Clarke when we return!” How
Unfortunately, Philip was not affected by such things. He had always thought that such women were disgusting. Since everyone had a backer, he did not mind resorting to force. He would not back off if the woman decided to use some crooked tricks on him. “I don’t mind talking to you, but you need to put on some clothes first. If you can’t even dress properly, I have no reason to talk to you,” Philip said with an arrogant air of superiority. Hearing that, the woman could not help but burst out laughing. “You’re such a nice young man. I always thought you were a lecherous guy, but you’re so earnest. It seems that you can be a good business partner. I like you very much.” After saying this, a jacket appeared in the woman’s hands, and she draped it over her shoulders. Katie gritted her teeth at the woman’s actions. She was annoyed to see someone having ideas about Philip. Although Katie could be considered Philip’s apprentice, Katie had a secret crush on Philip. However, Katie
“I think everyone is underestimating humans. There are powerful formation masters among the humans. Although such things can restrain humans, how long can they last? Humans are constantly improving. They're simply looking down on humans!” Loony spoke with pride, clearly satisfied with the strength of humans. “Don’t blame me for bragging, but the humans were imprisoned for millions of years, and we've been making progress over the years. Other races would have faced a dead end if they were in our shoes. Not to mention escaping, most of them would have died of depression, so I can’t speak for them.” At this point, the pride of humans was fully reflected. Philip agreed with Loony. These people really underestimated the humans' abilities. “I don't know where they’ll go after escaping, but humans need social interaction, so I’m sure they won’t hole themselves up in a cave or something.” Philip frowned at this statement. In that case, many humans had probably entered the city. Th
The demons gave Moby a potion to make him stronger. Although Moby was ugly, it did not mean that he was stupid. On the contrary, he was more cautious than other races. He simply took a drop for an experiment without taking the entire thing. The creature that took the potion did become much stronger but ended up as an empty husk with a soul after one hour. The other party could control this body like a puppet if they had the relevant spell on hand. Moby was shocked by this discovery. It would have been the end of his life if he had taken the potion. He would have been seeking death by turning himself into a toy in the hands of the other party. Due to this reason, he decided to betray the demons. Black Rabbit was conflicted. The demons gave him the potion too. He simply kept the potion without using it because of his caution. He had thought of using it as a last resort, but he was so good at hiding things that he forgot where he kept it. In the end, he never used it. Blac
Everyone knew that the guy was just putting on a show. It was stupid to confront humans recklessly. Only a fool would mess with humans. Lyle and Aslan looked at each other. They knew the severity of the matter and could not wait to tell Philip about it. “Let's listen to what they have to say. We’ll tell Philip the whole story after figuring it out,” Lyle said calmly. They knew that they could not take this matter lightly. Although they did not know who sold their information, the other party was definitely up to no good, so they had to be careful. “Philip is the leader of a large organization. I heard that he’s here to turn the world of the gods upside down. He’s not from among the imprisoned humans but came from another world, which proves that he’s a force to be reckoned with. We may end up suffering if we confront him!” “Did the man named Philip release the humans?” “His goal is to destroy and take over the world of the gods!” Everyone was shocked by that declaration.
Moby quickly told Philip everything he knew. He knew that he had to tell Philip the truth to gain Philip’s approval. The fish creatures would get a lucky break once Philip approved of them and accepted them as their followers. Meanwhile, the demons knew Philip's strength through Akash’s escape. Not only were they not deterred, but they became more interested in Philip. They were curious to find out more about him. They even spread news about Philip in the city, but no one knew if they were doing it for revenge or to stir things up. While Philip learned more about the situation, Lyle and the others went out again. They simply could not sit still at home. Although the outside world was a mess, they could learn more about local sights and customs. Lyle and Aslan preferred to sit in a tavern and listen to gossip around them. At this time, the storyteller arrived excitedly, almost bursting with important news. “I heard something big today. Guess what?” Everyone looked at him e
Philip did not intend to kill Tom. On the contrary, he wanted Tom to live well so that he could suffer in pain all the time. Philip smacked Tom's body several times. Tom felt something was wrong the moment it happened. He looked distorted as if he was controlled by someone. His body was also twisting in weird angles. “I’ve destroyed your practice. You can never regain your power even if the demons help you. What do you think of this reward?” Philip sneered at Tom’s twisted posture. Philip severed all of Tom’s veins and imprisoned him in the swamp so that he could suffer the erosion of the swamp day and night. He wanted Tom to watch over Marina's remains forever. “I don’t have any grudge against the merfolk. I promised to help you back then, but you were stupid enough to believe the words of a treacherous villain to the point of killing your holy maiden. This is really sad and ridiculous.” The merfolk had suffered a tragic end, which was pitiful, so Philip did not want to dwel
“Chief, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and finish the ritual. Don’t let that guy get his way. We have to get back at him for his disrespect.” After saying this, Tom charged at Marina. He knew that he needed Marina’s blood to have a fresh start. At this time, Moray took out the merfolk's pearl. They hid the pearl very well and finally found it in the warehouse. Marina smiled in despair at the sight of the pearl. She obviously did not expect things to go so out of control. “Philip, I’m sorry to have wronged you earlier. It seems that you’re the only good person around. Everyone else has an ulterior motive and is always thinking about using me. In that case, I’ll do the last thing I can do to seek your forgiveness.” After saying this, Marina rushed to the pearl in Moray’s hand with sorrow in her eyes. Philip had a bad premonition and had a guess about what Marina was about to do. “Stop her!” Philip waved his hand, and everyone rushed over. Some people pinned Moray down
Although Tom had been tortured beyond recognition, he was still rational and yelled out his plan. Moray was hesitant. He knew what Tom was referring to. The merfolk had a powerful secret technique to create an immortal body by merging the blood of the holy maiden with a powerful warrior of the family. Tom was in such a bad condition that he would be dead if they did not save him now. However, once Marina and Tom’s blood were merged, it meant that they would have to be together and never be separated again. Marina shook her head in rejection. Not to mention the damage it would cause her, but she did not want to share the rest of her life with Tom. No one could live an eternal life with someone they did not love. However, Moray had gone crazy. He was bewitched by Tom and only had victory in his eyes. Although Tom was in a bad state, Moray believed that Tom could turn the tables with a little help. With that thought in mind, Moray grabbed Marina and pushed her to Tom reluctant
“Very well. I approve of this marriage. After you defeat Philip and return in victory, we’ll proceed with your wedding.” Hearing that, Tom sneered inwardly. He was an ambitious man. He was unwilling to let Moray control him. He planned to get the merfolk's treasure now. As long as he got the pearls from the merfolk and fish creatures, he could dominate the world with the treasures that could store energy, and everyone would have to bow down to him. He could force Marina to provide her blood and activate the pearl.When Marina was in despair, the mud that trapped Philip suddenly moved. Everyone was astounded by this scene. No one thought that Philip could survive. He was very strong, indeed. Before Tom could attack again, the swamp exploded. Tom was shocked. He had a bad feeling that everything would progress differently. Thinking of this, he kept attacking Philip with every means he had. However, it was futile. Philip easily broke through Tom’s defense and attacked him.
