When Philip heard this, he was so scared that his knees went weak and he almost stumbled onto the floor. Wynn Johnston had always been virtuous, generous, and soft-spoken. Did having a baby expose her true nature of… being a red-hot chili pepper? Without delay, Philip rushed into the operating room. He trotted to the operating table and tightly held Wynn’s frantically waving hands. His heart ached for her! Wynn was drenched in a cold sweat at this moment. It was all because of the pain! Her whole face was distorted from the pain as she screamed herself hoarse! “Ah! Argh!” Wynn screamed, looked sideways at Philip, and exclaimed, “I’ll never have another baby with you again. It hurts too much! This son of yours, why isn’t he out yet?” Philip held Wynn’s hand tightly, constantly encouraging and comforting her as he said, “Wynnie, keep it up. We won’t have another one again.” Philip felt very distressed but he could not do anything now. It was not this difficult when
After that, Victor said, “Mr. Clarke, I’ve brought back the clues and evidence from the scene of the accident. Do you want to look at them now?” Upon hearing this, Philip frowned as he reached out to take the folder handed over by Victor. Opening the document, the investigation data inside was fresh from the oven. Philip glanced at it and found no valuable clues. In short, it was a premeditated murder attempt. There were no clues left at the scene. The driver of the truck was also an innocent party. The vehicle lost control due to human tampering. After cross-examination, the driver was not under suspicion. When Philip saw this information, a wave of chills swept over him. He asked Victor, “Did you find anything else?” Victor shook his head and said, “No, according to the contacts I have on patrol there, they said that after you and Madam left, several special international patrol vehicles arrived. This case has been taken over by the special international patrol organiz
On this side, Tim ended the call. Then, with a chill on his face, he turned to the bodyguard behind him and ordered, “Pass on my order immediately to mobilize 500 Dragon Knights to enter Sendona at top speed. Surround all the properties belonging to the Rothschild family, including all castles, manors, villas, and mansions! Don’t leave even one out! I want to see if Oliver wants to die!” The sturdy bodyguard bowed after hearing the order and said, “Second Master, I’m afraid we can’t mobilize 500 Dragon Knights. We just received the notice that 1,000 Dragon Knights have been drafted to go to Uppercreek by the order of the patriarch.” Tim frowned and said, “In that case, send the Tiger Knights, as many as possible! I want to see who gave the Rothschild family the guts to make a move against the young madam and the little grandchild of the Clarke family!” Tim Clarke was livid! The Clarke family had been silent for too long. It had been a long time since they displayed their terrif
There seemed to be a hint of depression in the air. Everyone’s heart seemed to be weighed down by a huge boulder with a timer. Mila struggled to get down from Lydia’s arms and ran to Philip who stood in front of the operating room door. She was constantly looking around. She tugged at his pants, handed her lollipop to Philip, and said with a cute smile, “Dad, eat some candy. Mom will be fine.” Philip looked down at his daughter and bent over to pick her up. He forced a smile, bopped her on the nose, and said, “Yeah, Mom will be fine.” Despite saying that, Philip had a bad premonition. That was because Wynn had not been out after so long. The entire long corridor was silent. Everyone dared not make a sound. At this time, a group of people hurried over from the door. It was Theo Zander with Charles Johnston and Martha Yates. Charles was supporting Martha. She could now stand up and walk, but she could not run, let alone walk for a long time. Thus, Martha shuffled along sl
Philip did not refute Martha but merely stood there silently. Martha was very angry and broke away from the crowd. She rushed over, slapped Philip, tugged at his clothes, and cursed, “Do you still have the nerve to stand here? Get lost, go away! Take that unlucky son of yours and get lost!” Martha was furious! Her daughter who was in good condition before suffered from hemorrhage just from giving birth! If anything happened to Wynn, how would Martha live in the future? She still wanted to live a good life by relying on Wynn! Moreover, people from the Lovelace family had come looking for her. They said that they would give her 100 million for Wynn to be acknowledged by the Lovelace family. Martha was moved at that time, but she refused after thinking about it and even had a big fight with the other party. She was not so wicked to that extent. At this moment, everyone gasped when they saw Martha slapping Philip! This mother-in-law was a little reckless. This was mai
On the way here, Martha had thought about it carefully. Wynn had given birth to a son. At any rate, they could reap a fortune from Philip, right? Now, Wynn was hemorrhaging and undergoing emergency rescue. Who could predict what would happen after this? She coughed and said unabashedly, “If my daughter is gone, all the assets under your name will belong to the Johnston family! As for Beacon Group, don’t you even think of touching a penny! It belongs to my daughter. Don’t think of taking advantage of the situation!” Martha had made clear calculations. If something really happened to Wynn, Philip would naturally inherit everything as her spouse. The company as well as everything else would belong to him. Martha Yates was not stupid. She must make an agreement now! Hearing this, Philip frowned deeply as he clenched his fists tightly. His entire body exuded a chill! He did not expect that at this point, Martha would still be thinking of her daughter’s fortune! Abominable!
Smack! The hand was raised and the slap fell. The crisp slap resounded in the hospital corridor! “Martha Yates, you’re not worthy to be a mother! If you dare say another word, I won’t let you speak again for the rest of your life!” Philip roared in anger, his eyes ablaze and his fists clenched. He wanted to tear Martha’s mouth off right now! However, she was Wynn’s mother and Wynn was still in the operating room undergoing emergency rescue. He must bear with it! After that, Philip turned around with his back to everyone. Everyone could feel a hint of coldness and dormant killing intent from his broad and imposing back! This time, Philip was really angry! The calmer it was, the bigger the storm that was coming their way! When the surrounding people saw Philip's decisive move, they felt as if his strike had helped them vent their anger! It felt too good! The repressed mood just now was instantly lifted! It would be best to beat that crazy woman to death! She w
Smack! Martha slapped Charles’ hand away and chastised coldly, “Son-in-law? What kind of son-in-law is he? What has he done for us all these years? Has he ever given us a good life? Take that villa for instance. He probably used the company’s funds to buy it, but he’s guarding against us like he’s guarding against a thief.” Charles sighed and said, “Stop talking so much. He helped us settle the case with Martin and Bernard.” Martha refused to listen and shouted, “Bah! What's the use of that? Martin and Bernard have founded their own company now. Besides, why should I stop talking? At first, I thought that he was just a useless loser. Who knew that he was the young master of a wealthy family and the owner of that Clarke Group in the capital city? So I thought that I could live a rich life from then on, but what happened after that? They went bankrupt and Philip Clarke is still a useless loser! Why didn't he tell us when he wasn't broke? Why still rely on the Johnston family after
“What’s inside the coffin?” “Who knows? I heard someone calling for help inside. Why don't we open it and take a look?” The fawns were not yet fully grown, so they were simple-minded. Hearing someone calling for help, they wanted to lend a helping hand. They had taken on human form, so they could move easily. The coffin was sealed to prevent someone from opening it from the inside, but the effect was almost non-existent once someone opened the coffin from the outside. The fawns broke the seal, and Akash jumped out. He looked around in a panic and was surprised to see that his rescuers were a bunch of fawns. “Thank you. I’m a member of the elf family. You may come to us if you need any help in the future. I’ll do my best to help you.” After saying this, Akash vanished in front of the fawns. He had very important things to attend to. The little fawns never expected that they would rescue such a beautiful elf. They were puzzled and wondered what was going on. “Was that the
Everyone returned to the topic at hand and forgot about everything else. Akash was expectant, waiting to hear what everyone had to say. “According to our investigation, the fish creatures became so arrogant because they colluded with the demons. They wouldn’t have been strong enough to deal with us if the demons hadn’t given them the power to do so.” Philip was surprised to hear about the demons’ involvement again. It was simply ridiculous that everything was related to demons. “The demons are quite ambitious. It seems that they want to conquer this land like the humans before them, so they keep making trouble. I think we should get rid of them!” The chief was very angry. He hated the demons from the bottom of his heart and wished they would disappear. Akash’s expression changed. Although he had an opinion about the other party's words, he did not dare to express his thoughts due to his current identity. “Akash, tell me what you think about this matter. I believe that the
“I’m surprised that they’d attack me first. I thought they’d be more interested in Philip.” Loony looked at Akash thoughtfully. He knew that Akash was behind this. Akash returned his gaze silently, acting as if it had nothing to do with him. He would never admit his identity. “Ugh, that thing is so ugly.” Marina covered her mouth in a panic. Although they had a high tolerance level, these toad-like monsters were simply gross. Marina's father wanted to take this opportunity to see Philip's strength, but Philip did not take action. Loony dealt with the other party, and they found out that Loony was human. “I remember hearing a legend about a lunatic. Are you the lunatic mentioned?” Marina was puzzled by Loony’s identity. Everything Loony did proved that he was human, but none of them could do any of it. “It's said that only humans and demons can practice voodoo, which is what I think you did just now. Philip can’t possibly be involved with the demons, so if I’m not mi
Philip shrugged and said calmly, “As usual, we take one step at a time. If they use force, we’ll do the same. Don’t worry about it. Even though they're strong, it’s not as if we can’t do anything about it.” Marina's heart skipped a beat at the sight of Philip's confidence, her feelings indescribable. Marina's father was heartbroken at this scene. He wished he could slap his daughter to wake her up. “Hmph, there's no point in saying empty words. Anyone can take one step at a time. When the enemy shows up at the door, that’s the only thing we can do.” Everyone noticed the sarcasm behind the words, and Marina was shocked. She did not expect that her father would be so unreasonable as to pick a fight at this time. Before anyone could say anything else, the door was kicked open, and Philip was surprised to see the person who entered the door. Philip did not set up a barrier in this place, so anyone could enter and exit freely. Everyone was on guard against the newcomer because
Loony and Akash were beating about the bush, trying to intimidate each other. However, Loony uncovered the mystery first. Akash coughed violently to conceal his shock and returned to his room after excusing himself, clearly going to inform the people behind him. “See, he exposed himself after just a few words. It's quite interesting,” Loony said with a smile, not acting like a lunatic at all. Philip had to marvel at his acting skills. Everyone always treated him as a lunatic, which saved him a lot of trouble. Akash returned to the room and tried to contact the people behind him, but he could not find anyone for some reason. He looked around anxiously, wondering what he should do next. “Damn it. At worst, I’ll have to deal with him.” Akash decided to deal with Loony. In his opinion, Loony should have been greatly weakened after being imprisoned for so many years and was no match for himself. Everything would be under his command if he could find a way to control Loony. Thi
Aslan and the others were aware of Akash’s fake identity too. No one wanted to interact with him, but they had to greet him to avoid exposing themselves. At the same time, Marina arrived with her father and other family members. To be on the safe side, they did not meet Philip collectively but left some backup plans. “Marina, as your father, I have to remind you that I won’t treat him kindly if I find out that he’s not a good person,” the chief said solemnly. He felt a little uneasy at the thought of meeting his daughter’s crush. He wondered if Philip had a good character, how many people he had in his family, and whether he was worthy of his precious daughter. However, even if Philip was worthy, he would not agree to their relationship. After all, they belonged to two different species. What if they gave birth to a fish creature? The beautiful merfolk would never allow those ugly creatures to tarnish their reputation. “Dad, you think too much. I have no ideas about him
The call between the two ended after a brief exchange. Rodney smiled in disdain. He was aware of his mission, but he had no idea that the Loony he was looking for was right next to him. He only knew that Philip was quite strong and had many treasures on hand. “Everything will be different once I get the elf water. At that time, this bunch of stupid guys…” Although the demons could not comprehend the book very well, they understood the general content written on it. They needed elf water if they wanted to get rid of the identity of demons. Although it was harmful to them, it could purify their bodies in combination with certain spells. Unfortunately, they just found the secret and finally found the elves when they realized that someone had wiped out the elves, which was infuriating. Rodney found Philip because he knew that Philip had the elf water. Loony was his second mission.… The night passed quickly, and Philip and Loony were chatting so exuberantly that they forgot
“I have to take responsibility for it. Demons were not so strong back then. They became so powerful because of my book. That book can be considered a divine artifact, and its contents have a great effect on all creatures.” Philip was interested in Loony’s explanation. He wanted to know why the book had such a powerful effect. “Everyone always calls me a lunatic. Indeed, I do go crazy from time to time, but I never lose my awareness. I know what I should do and what the consequences will be if the book falls into the wrong hands.” Loony looked at Philip earnestly, clearly asking for a favor. In his opinion, only Philip could save him. “That book is the first half, and its content is difficult to understand. Even I could only comprehend a little. I hope you can help me get it back. If you succeed, I’ll give you the second half. It’d be best if you can practice it.” To be honest, Philip was not in favor of this suggestion. Practicing such things might affect his path and bring h
“Is that person human?” the chief grasped the key point and asked the crucial question. Everyone nodded. They knew Philip’s identity and did not care that he was human. They saw him as a friend. “I entered Philip’s world by chance, and he helped me return. If it weren't for him, those things would probably have killed me by now. They're very strong, indeed.” Marina felt a lingering fear when she recalled past events. She knew how powerful those ugly creatures were. The fish creatures had become very strong for some reason as if they could overwhelm the merfolk at any time. “He opened the passage to this world, sent me back, and restored our people back to health. We would've died if not for his help. Philip is our friend, not foe,” Marina defended Philip. The chief was heartbroken to hear his daughter defend a man like this. His precious daughter had grown up or she would not have said such a thing. “Okay, in that case, I look forward to seeing this young man named Philip
